Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 3: Tracking
stepped out of the limestone forest again, and the time displayed by the digitized field of view had reached 9:00 am. No further delay, the "live fish medicine" promised to Sanji to be supplemented has not been supplemented with raw materials.
"Living Fish Medicine" is a popular item in "Shiraishi Pharmacy".
It's just that the role is not to cure people's diseases, but a kind of medicine that can improve the survival rate of delicate silverfish. After the fishermen catch the silverfish, adding the medicine to the water tank can greatly improve the survival rate of this expensive but very delicate fish.
Many nobles and big businessmen have come here to buy this rare fish speciality unique to Leopold Seas. Naturally, the "live fish medicine" that can bring more benefits to fishermen is in short supply.
This is also an original invention made by Grandpa Leo after investigating the local needs. For a small seaside town with a population of less than 20,000, although it has a certain value, it does not cause people to be jealous and cause trouble.
To look at it with the eyes of a traverser, I also have to admire the old butler’s old-fashioned vision and clever means. Without this respectable old man, the aristocratic young master, who was only ten years old and spoiled, would not know if he could live to this day.
Pressing his thoughts back into his heart, Ivan gets up to business.
......
By the time of noon, thanks to his predecessor’s familiarity with the mountains and forests, Ivan has completed all the collection work, sitting on a large rock and enjoying his lunch leisurely.
A large piece of barley bread, some dried fish, and a smoked sausage, together with spring water in a water pouch, is nothing in the last life, but it is already a rare treat for people in this era. .
During this period, Ivan made new discoveries about his "golden fingernails". The data-based field of vision has a very strong recognition ability. Even the herbs that are swept by the eye can be instantly marked, which greatly improves the efficiency of herbal collection.
After lunch, seeing that it was still early, Ivan prepared to go a little deeper into the forest to see if he could catch some prey and enrich the recipe by the way.
Because Ivan was in a tree when he was picking the medicine, and he found marks left by other hunters. This sign means that someone has found a prey that is beyond their own ability and needs to call a companion to hunt together.
The hunters in this neighborhood are basically acquaintances, so there is no need to worry about attracting people who are embarrassed.
Since there is nothing wrong, Ivan patted the long sword on his waist and decided to follow up and see if he could help.
He still has confidence in his own military power. After all, his predecessor is also a noble boy. The swordsmanship training since the age of eight is not a display. In the one-on-one combat, the hunter near Leopold City No one is his opponent anymore.
If he can reach the height of his swordsmanship enlightenment teacher Grandpa Leo, become an official knight, and set foot in the ranks of extraordinary people, Ivan believes that the mountain forest in front of him will no longer threaten his existence.
Following the traces left by the hunter in front, Aiwen swiftly walked through the mountains and forests like a clever ape. This time Aiwen didn’t think there would be any accidents. On the contrary, if the journey was slow, there would be no trophies left. The next thing is more frustrating.
Although he is only thirteen years old, his years of swordsmanship has given Ivan a broad shoulders and a strong physique. With his dexterity, the intricate forest terrain is not at all difficult for him. At least this forest near the city does not have much power. The top predator who threatened him.
probably because of too much time wasted for lunch, Ivan has been tracking in the mountains and forests for two hours without seeing the hunter in front of him.
If it hadn’t been for the traces left to linger on the periphery of the mountain forest, and another footprint had also joined in, Ivan would have planned to give up the hunt and turn around and go back.
"This mark is Graham and his hound. Has this guy come to hunt today?"
Through the mark of later generations, Ivan recognized that it was Graham, a friend he knew, which was not easy to leave. Graham is also one of the best hunters in the neighborhood, but the message displayed by the mark is still calling for companions. Ivan guessed that he had run into a big guy, even if two experienced hunters could not handle it.
is like this kind of sudden hunting behavior. The experienced hunter can judge the strength comparison with the prey. In the early stage, it was like a wolf pack to call companions, and the hunting would be launched after enough hunters gathered.
If the number of companions gathered at the end is not enough, they will directly give up hunting. No matter how great the value of the prey, the hunters here have enough wisdom to restrain greed.
Experienced old hunters know that the way for a hunter to survive is not the sharpness of the minions but the temperance.
while complaining about the unknown prey with strong mobility, he set off again to continue tracking until the mountains and forests were already a little dim, and his vision showed 4:00 pm, and Ivan finally caught up with the other party's trail.
But at first glance Ivan knew something was wrong!
There is a pool of blood on the ground, which is still very fresh. Even if Ivan is not a professional hunter, human blood and animal blood can still be distinguished. I just don't know if this was left by Grimm or another hunter, and judging by the amount of bleeding, no one would be saved.
Aiwen's face is a bit ugly. For coastal cities, the price of wild animals in the mountains is much higher than that of seafood. In this magical world, forests are not where ordinary people can go. Every hunter who has been active in the mountains and forests for many years has two brushes.
can make an experienced hunter die on the spot without any resistance, it is by no means an ordinary beast.
did not hesitate, re-opened the digital vision, powerful recognition ability quickly marked all things in the field of vision. After removing the useless information, the messy footprints of two people on the ground appeared, and a blood stain extending far away became conspicuous under the instructions of the digitalized field of vision.
Strangely, apart from an extra hound footprint, there is no trace of the assailant on the ground at all.
Things are a bit tricky.
squinted his eyes, Ivan’s heart is fighting between heaven and humans. After watching countless suspense dramas, he knows that the most terrifying thing in the world is not the scourge but...unknown!
But judging from the traces left, the surviving hunter has already followed. Judging from the hound's actions, the person is likely to be its owner, Gram, even if one person has been damaged ~IndoMTL.com~ he still chooses to continue tracking. The only possibility is that he feels that the danger is still controllable, and wants to get back the body of his companion.
gritted his teeth, and Ivan followed in the direction where the blood stains disappeared.
......
"Damn beast, stop! Leave Hank for me!"
A young hunter in his twenties, holding a bow and arrow, ran wildly in the intricate woodland. Even if he was angry, it did not affect his dexterity. The twisted roots exposed on the ground, the slippery moss, the winding small The stream could not cause him the slightest hindrance.
But even with this skill, it is still unavoidable to draw further and further away from the figure flying by the treetops in front.
"Whoo!" A feathered arrow was nailed to the trunk, and a huge black cat with a thin man in his mouth, had dexterously jumped to another big tree that can only be hugged by a few people.
did not pay attention to the meaning of the human below, the black cat with its own warfare swiftly moved across the treetops, and disappeared into the completely dark forest in a blink of an eye.
"Ah——!!! Damn it!"
After losing his companion, the hunter has gradually calmed down, knowing that there is no hope of regaining his companion by himself.
Right now, I can only hope that the big cat, which looks like a leopard, will have enough food, and what will be left when I go back and lead a large army.
kicked the hound that was still barking overhead, Gram turned and returned, hoping to get out of the forest before the sun went down.
"Huh!"
At the moment of turning around, a bad wind fell from the top of his head, and the cunning predator did not leave at all!
hid the food and turned back, taking advantage of the moment when Gram relaxed his vigilance, and launched a fierce attack.
