After completing the task of teaming up to defeat the mutant Daimyo shield crab, Cheng Peng took the initiative to find Zhang Channian.

"I think the plan to defeat the Fuyue Dragon should be postponed a little." He said, "After the last mission, I found that I still have some shortcomings, and I plan to experience it a little." ”

Zhang Channian, who was making special bullets, was not surprised by his decision - in his opinion, if he couldn't find out that he had a problem with his mentality and didn't make up his mind to practice the hunter's methods well, then he wouldn't be the number one Cheng Peng in the world.

"We're actually going to have to prepare for a long time." He smiled and agreed to Cheng Peng's request, "I have to help Yu Fei make a special dragon killing bullet for his pistol, Phil is collecting information related to Fuyue Dragon, and that guy Yu Fei is currently on a task, hoping to brush some suitable materials and make himself a five-star equipment 'Dragon Boomer'...... If all these things are done, it is estimated that it will take at least a week to "touch". Adventure 5

"At least a week? Well, about enough. ”

From this day on, Cheng Peng lived in the world of Monster Hunter.

He is still wearing a golden armor that is very different from the style of this world, carrying a spear like crystal, and his dress looks completely unrelated to "tough", but no one will underestimate him because of this - there are many masters who have run from other worlds to the Monster Hunter world, and of course these people will not change their fighting style in order to be able to live smoothly here, and players such as Zhang Channian and others who were born here have long been accustomed to and accepted this.

Cheng Peng did not team up with others, but continued to carry out various crusade missions alone. It's just that he didn't exert all his strength as usual, crushing all kinds of monsters with his power comparable to the peak of five stars or even surpassing it, but learned to carefully analyze the habits and characteristics of monsters like a hunter, and design a targeted battle plan. And in battle, he will also use various tactics, traps and props to defeat monsters like ordinary hunters, rather than simply relying on force to solve them.

As the days passed, so did the number of monsters he hunted.

Because of the restriction of his own combat methods, he naturally suffered a lot, and he was beaten by monsters and hung back to the village several times. But Cheng Peng didn't change his original intention at all, and still fought in that way that no matter how he looked at it, he was suspected of masochism.

However, as time passed, his experience in fighting monsters also quickly accumulated, and gradually, he became familiar with the way those large monsters acted, and could judge their next move from some inconspicuous details like those veteran hunters, and properly use props and traps to improve the success rate of the battle.

On November 25, Cheng Peng returned to the village with a long unicorn.

"Oh? This is the horn of a horned dragon...... Well?! This shine and intensity...... It's a mission?! Zhang Channian didn't pay much attention to the one-horned team at first, but he soon saw the fame, and couldn't help but exclaim, "You chose the 'Top Horned Dragon Crusade' as your task to promote to senior hunter?" That's a lot of seeds! ”

In the world of Monster Hunter, the quest is divided into four levels: "lower", "middle", "higher" and "top", and the same monster, in four different levels, the combat effectiveness is completely different, and the things produced are also very different.

For the average player, the production of lower and middle missions can basically meet the needs, after all, there is not only the world of Monster Hunter in "The Great Adventure", you can go to other worlds to find ways to strengthen equipment, there is no need to hang yourself on a tree. Higher-level quests only exist as a way to hone your skills or obtain some rare items that are treasured as treasures. Destination Quest ...... Under normal circumstances, no one would think about doing that kind of task.

In the top-level mission, even the lowest-level offensive monster Blue Speed Dragon, which is a novice monster, will have the basic genus "sex" of the general wyvern species in the middle mission, and the intelligence will also be greatly improved, such as dividing into combo attacks, lurking and surrounding, etc., not so much a group of monsters, but a group of well-trained professional soldiers.

Minion-level monsters are already so powerful, and those Bs are naturally even more so. Generally speaking, the top task B has three common characteristics:

First, there was no warning. The signs of the bs of the top task are very small when they shoot, if they are not the most elite veterans, they can't even see any clues at all, as if those big guys have launched an attack directly without any preparation. Many hunters with the idea of "opening their eyes" suffered under this almost unwarning attack, and often died in a daze, ending the entire mission.

Second, love to make combos. Normally, there will be some gaps between B's attacks, allowing the player to calmly dodge or counterattack. However, the Bs of the top-level tasks often level up several times with one shot, which not only greatly increases the range of attacks, but also becomes a variety of attack methods - for example, they can first sweep with their tails, then roll their bodies sideways, slam into them, and then just stand firm, their huge mouths bite over...... This set of combos can already kill at least 90% of the players, but in the top missions, it is only the most commonplace. Some of the more terrifying tricks are entirely foul-level...... Let's say spit out dozens of fireballs in one breath and bomb in three hundred directions...... Basically, there is no ability to "wipe the barrage", and it is absolutely directly bombarded.

Third, peek through the traps. Ordinary Bs can often be led into traps, making the challenge much less difficult. However, B of the top task completely ignores all kinds of traps and never steps into them, as if they have the ability to directly peek through them. This ability makes the challengers extremely distressed - because it means that they can't take advantage of it at all, and they can only rely on their own strength to fight against B who is several times higher than the player.

In addition to these three points, such as the high "sex" or something, it is no longer worth mentioning.

In general, challenging the top quest is basically masochistic behavior, and being able to complete such a quest, even if it is the lowest level, is enough to be proud of, and enough to be the subject of boasting in the tavern.

Even Zhang Channian himself, it took a full year to successfully pass the first top-level task - crusade against the Blue Speed Dragon King. It was with this achievement that he convinced other players, earned the honorific title of "the most senior hunter", and gained considerable prestige in it. Adventure 5

"Although your strength is indeed very strong now, you have only been here for less than two weeks, and you have become familiar with the way we fight in this world, and you have achieved such a record......" Zhang Channian shook his head, fully expressing his surprise and admiration, "You are really not ordinary!" ”

The monster of the one-horned dragon is very special in the world of "Monster Hunter", it will only appear in front of a lone hunter, and will only accept the kind of relatively fair one-on-one duel. Only by defeating it in a one-on-one duel and returning with the horn on its head can you prove that you are a veteran hunter, and you can be awarded a medal by the Hunters' Guild to hunt freely in various cities without being bound by many rules.

Relatively speaking, the difficulty of the one-horned dragon challenge is definitely no joke - when players first upgraded to the level of veteran hunters, I don't know how many people died under the glittering horns. Until now, there have been many players who have not been able to complete this task.

The quest to go head-to-head with a one-horned dragon can only be completed once, and after completing it, you will definitely get a "one-horned dragon", which is a good material, but players would rather farm the daimyo shield crab than use this one-horn, but keep it as a souvenir and keep it preciously.

Many times, looking at the appearance of this horn, you can know the ability of this hunter.

Because masters such as Zhang Channian would rather challenge later, but also fight the horned dragon of the most advanced difficulty as possible, so as to obtain a more radiant and more "colorful" one-horn.

At this moment, the unicorn in Cheng Peng's hand is not only amazingly long, but also perfect in appearance, strength and luster, which can be called a high-end work of art.

Such a single horn is only possessed by a few top masters such as Zhang Channian.

Yu Fei had already completed the task of single-handing out the horned dragon the day before yesterday, but he was not able to kill the top-level horned dragon, and he defeated the high-ranking B. Because although his twin guns are fast enough, they lack enough attack power. In the face of the Horned Dragon, who has not been beaten hard by any attacks since the beginning of the upper rank, his usual suppressive tactics are completely unable to play, and he can only rely on his agility and marksmanship. Several times to challenge the top-level horned dragon, because the output ability is not strong enough, failed to complete the task within the limited time and failed, so I had to retreat.

If he could, he also thought about it for a while, and waited until he obtained more powerful weapons to complete this task, but the Fuyue Dragon's crusade was imminent, and time waited for no one.

Players who have not completed the Horned Dragon crusade are not eligible to challenge the Ancient Dragon.

"You better put away this unicorn, if Yu Fei sees it, I'm afraid it will hit his self-confidence again......" Zhang Channian sighed, and took Cheng Peng to the forging field.

Phil had already used his long-standing social connections to invite a skilled dragonman blacksmith to make some special equipment for the Ukigaku Dragon.

And the materials needed to build those equipment are of course already ready.

There is nothing special to explain about the process of building, the only thing that Cheng Peng cares about is the old man who looks thin and small - the blacksmith of the dragon race, the legendary master craftsman.

When this inconspicuous old man swung his hammer to start work, his body exuded a stronger momentum than the topmost horned dragon, which was majestic and majestic, and the surrounding players were forced to retreat again and again, and only top masters like Cheng Peng and Zhang Channian could stand firmly.

This is Long Wei!

"If you close your eyes, you'll think it's not someone striking iron, but a dragon roaring, right?" Cheng Peng pondered like this, and couldn't help but be a little more curious about this legendary dragon clan.

The old man built it quickly, and in just a few minutes, the pile of materials that everyone had prepared turned into a pair of silver-white earrings.

[Standing: Earrings.] Five-star special equipment. This equipment can increase all the attributes of the wearer, make the wearer immune to Dragon's Roar and Dragon's Might, and reduce the damage caused by area attacks to the wearer. 】

[This equipment will only exert its power when facing the ancient dragon, and after activating it once, it will be damaged and cannot be repaired.] 】

Looking at the pair of earrings that cost a lot of money to obtain, Cheng Peng couldn't help but smile bitterly. Adventure 5

"It's just a 'sex' prop......"

"Don't sigh, in the face of a seven-star enemy, no matter how much consumables you have, you have to use them without hesitation." Zhang Channian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Just like Phil said, no matter how good things are, they have to be used." If it doesn't always come in handy, that's the biggest waste. ”

There is still only one shift, and the state continues to be low......
