Chapter 189 189. Hunter
The tall Fulin Castle and the beautiful Moon Lake will leave a deep impression on people.
At the intersection, a map was posted on a huge wooden board, covered by transparent glass. From time to time, people stopped by and looked up.
Ye Nuan figured out the approximate location and asked someone about it.
Then the two continued on their way.
Walking along the path beside the lake, the flat road surface appeared as black as before.
The training ground appeared not far away.
There was a noisy sound of people, and soldiers were practicing shooting at targets.
"Fifty meters, ten rings! Well done!"
Ye Nuan looked at the target in surprise. A 50-meter fixed target was just basic training for an archer. There was nothing to be surprised about.
But how did this weapon work? No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out the principle, so she simply put the matter behind her.
After walking for more than an hour, they gradually left the Moon Lake Loop Road. At a new fork in the road, they distinguished the road signs.
I have to admit that these wooden signs provide considerable convenience to travelers.
Then, we met a convoy heading to the Hunter Village on the way. We spent half a day on the journey and arrived at this small town which was still under construction at dusk.
An open space at the border of the East Wasteland Forest, close to several pools and streams.
Semicircular bunkers are located in the jungle, vaguely connected to form a line of defense.
There is a row of houses located on a high ground.
Because the workers had sufficient construction experience, Hunter Town developed faster than expected and currently has a population of over three thousand.
Ye Nuan found a flowing stream, squatted down and drank some water.
After entering the village, the two easily found out Naba's location.
"Sir, over there."
Next to the burning bonfire, a tall, brown-haired woman sat on a half-broken wooden stake with her hands folded.
There was a strange weapon next to him, which looked somewhat like a spear.
"Hello, Lady Naba, we come here to become a hunter." Ye Nuan explained the reason politely.
"Of course, no problem. Hunter Town welcomes you to join. You can use water and fire as you wish. As for food, you can earn it through work, such as patrolling, night watch, building houses, and cultivating farmland.
If you have the ability, you can hunt on your own, but I want to warn you that the beasts here are not ordinary prey. Second-level creatures are very common, and if you are unlucky, it is not impossible to encounter third-level creatures. I suggest that you join a hunting team."
"Excuse me, where are we staying tonight?" the eye-patch girl asked impatiently.
"According to the regulations, we must give you a place to stay when it rains, but it hasn't rained recently, so you can pay to stay in a hotel." Naba pointed to the houses on the top of the mountain: "You can also bring your own tent to camp."
"We have no money!" the eyepatch woman shouted angrily.
"There's no point in being a hunter if you don't have money. Kids, just go to work first. Here, as long as we participate in the labor, we can get food and accommodation." Naba hummed softly, picked up the barbecue on the campfire and started eating.
Ye Nuan touched her purse. She still had some savings. She had earned some money by leading people, hunting, and killing bandits.
Of course, she squandered most of it to survive the winter. The high food prices easily took away her assets.
The blindfolded woman made the same move, but she was too shy to do so. She could only sigh and say, "I want to be a construction worker. Who should I contact?"
"A wise move." Naba snapped her fingers, not hesitating to give the confused young man guidance: "Go find Hawthorne, he will arrange accommodation for you."
The two have since parted ways.
Ye Xuan rented a tent, which was surprisingly not expensive, a copper penny for three days, and straw was provided as a mattress.
You need to buy your own bed linen.
Ye Nuan spent one silver dollar to rent a tent for a month, and then spent another silver dollar to buy a complete set of daily necessities.
Wrapped in a sackcloth mattress, and a sackcloth quilt filled with straw.
A night passed.
In the early morning, just as the sky was getting light, a thin layer of mist rose in the forest.
Ye Nuan heard a noise coming from the tent.
He rubbed his eyes, got up and picked up the weapon in the straw.
She found the people who were talking about it and heard that there were casualties in the patrol team last night.
"It's a shadow leopard!" Naba squatted down and checked the wound on the night watchman. "I once encountered a very difficult second-level creature when I followed the young master to fight the goblins. Believe me, at night, you would rather encounter a ground dragon than this kind of creature. Only a limit breaker can deal with it."
"It treats humans as prey and must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise more people will be killed." The gray-haired middle-aged scholar said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, the Guards will handle it. If a little shadow leopard dares to show up." Naba pulled the corner of her mouth coldly.
The Shadow Leopard is offered a bounty worth one gold dragon!
This is of course not the entire value, the corpse of the monster can be disposed of by the hunter, and there will be additional income at that time.
If the fur is intact, it may be sold for a high price of several gold coins.
Many hunters were tempted. Early in the morning, various hunting teams set out.
Ye Nuan asked about some team-related information, but finally chose not to join. He rented a cart with his own money and entered the East Wasteland Forest.
With his superb archery skills that never missed the target, he reaped a great harvest in just one morning.
Three snow rabbits and a silver fox were exchanged for six silver dollars, which was equivalent to two months' salary for an average person. In the afternoon, I was luckier and encountered a medium-sized wild boar and shot two cuckoo birds. It can be said that I returned with a full load.
On the first day, Ye Nuan earned twenty silver dollars and successfully attracted a lot of attention.
"Amazing! This young man!"
"Half-elves do have good talents. Lord Lodel is a half-elf."
Some people came around and asked to learn hunting skills. Ye Xuan also needed help, so he selected a group of young people and formed his own hunting team.
The freckled, beige-haired girl was called Lian, and she was sixteen years old. The other demihuman girl with brown animal ears and a tail was called Sasha.
They both looked not very smart.
The dull, clear eyes were free of any impurities or worries, and completely lacked vigilance towards people and things.
The weapons used for hunting were only a dagger and a rusty iron knife.
Longbows and arrows are expensive and not affordable for ordinary people.
Ye Nuan didn’t know what to say. It was luck for these two people to meet her. Anyway, they just needed to help pull in the prey.
I am a very generous person.
With this thought in mind, the three of them entered the East Wasteland Forest the next day.
