One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

Chapter 241 How to Use Dual Blades

Link gave Honey a look, and Honey immediately understood. She poured the hot porridge in the pot into the rice bowl, then added water and rice to the pot and boiled another pot.

After all, the appetite of fire sprouts is not to be underestimated. It is still in time to cook it now. By the time this pot is finished, the second pot will be almost ready.

"buying"

Huoya was not polite at all. She sat opposite Link with her bowl of rice. She held the chopsticks with her slender jade fingers and picked up a large piece of egg white from the big salted egg on the table and put it into her mouth.

"Mmm, so salty."

As soon as the egg white entered her mouth, the salty taste stimulated her taste buds, causing Huoya to quickly pick up the bowl and drink a big mouthful of porridge to dilute the saltiness in her mouth.

"Um, Sister Huoya, this is a salted egg, you can't eat it like that, you have to take small bites, and the best part of this egg is the yolk, which is not salty, you can try it."

Seeing Huoya's look, Link smiled awkwardly. Huoya moved too quickly and he didn't have time to stop her.

"Hmm."

Huoya's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she glanced at Link before she raised her chopsticks again and reached for the salted egg yolk on the table.

"..."

Beside her, Shui Yun silently followed her sister's actions, picked up the egg white and yolk with chopsticks, put them into her mouth together, and then silently drank a sip of rice soup.

Although she didn't say anything, Link could see a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

"And this, crab roe sauce, is also a great match with porridge, come and try it."

Link pushed the jar of crab sauce in front of him forward.

"Hmm, I haven't eaten the crab roe of the Daimyo Shield Crab in a long time."

Huoya, an experienced foodie, immediately recognized the origin of the crab roe and her eyes lit up.

Although there are groups of small shield crabs living in the abandoned shrine, they will leave here when they grow to a certain size and travel a long distance to the desert to find the skull of a unicorn as their new home.

Therefore, it is rare to see daimyo shield crabs in abandoned shrines. Occasionally, one or two will appear, and they come here to give birth. They leave after giving birth, and you can only encounter them if you are lucky.

"Hehe, I hunted one at the Relic Ridge on the way back. I was lucky, it happened to be a female crab."

Seeing that Huoya liked it, Link smiled and explained the origin of the crab roe.

"Yeah, that's good. Little Link is getting stronger and stronger. He looks a bit like your father when he was young."

Huoya's eating movements seemed slow but were actually fast, graceful yet fast. While chatting, he had finished three bowls of porridge.

In comparison, Shuiyun only drank one third of her first bowl of porridge.

In this way, Link and Huoya chatted and ate at the same time, while Shuiyun Mitang and Chuchu were acting as the atmosphere group, listening silently, and occasionally stretching out chopsticks to snatch food from the two people's hands.

-

After finishing breakfast, Huoya and Shuiyun left, while Link took a pair of novice double swords for training from the house and walked towards the training ground.

He was going to review the use of the twin swords.

During this period, he used power-oriented weapons, including broadsword, sledgehammer, shield axe, katana, and heavy crossbow.

Oh, yes, there is also a piece hand, I almost forgot.

"Double swords, double swords, oh, it's so troublesome, I have to drink the walking potion and turn on the ghost transformation."

Standing in the spacious hunter training ground, Link held the two iron daggers in his hands and sighed softly.

However, although dual swords are troublesome, they are much better than the hunting flute. Before the flute hunter starts the battle, he has to perform a magical dance and wave the flute to buff himself, which is very troublesome.

There is a beauty in the missing brainstem.

Female hunters are okay, but watching male hunters perform rituals is really a torture.

"call."

Link took a deep breath, pulled out the two swords on his back, and held them in his hands.

There are two ways to hold double swords. One is the hammer-holding style, where the tip of the sword is above the thumb. It is suitable for stabbing and cutting, has a large attack range, and some wide openings and closings, with large flaws.

The other is the ice cone style, with the tip of the blade facing the ground. It is suitable for quick slashing and stabbing. The attack range is small, but the attack speed is fast, and this grip is very cool.

After turning on the demon transformation, hold the knife with the ice cone method, rotate your body, and cut from the monster's head to the tail, and you can feel the refreshing feeling as if constipation has been relieved.

(I spent a lot of time researching how to hold a dagger, but the opinions on how to hold it in reverse vary from place to place, so I just decided not to use it.)

Link rotated the blade so that the edge was facing downward, and then mobilized the life energy in his body, transforming it into a rushing blood-colored airflow that wrapped around his body.

At this moment, he only felt as if he had become a swift cheetah, as light as a swallow and as fast as lightning.

"Whoosh!"

Link didn't make any movement. He just swayed slightly and flashed several meters away. Where he had just stood, a blurry figure slowly disappeared.

Afterimage.

Now, after activating the Ghost Enhancement, Link's agility attribute has almost doubled, allowing him to leave afterimages after moving.

Of course, this afterimage is useless and can only be used to bully some clumsy lower-level monsters.

The dynamic vision of high-level monsters and master monsters is not so easy to be fooled, and their attack range is extremely wide and difficult to dodge. Note 1

"Hiss, this transformation into a demon is quite energy-consuming. Even for me, I can only maintain it for about three minutes. After that, I have to remove the demon, recover my energy, and wait for the opportunity."

Glancing at the decreasing energy bar on the system panel, Link made a rough calculation and figured out the duration of his transformation into a ghost.

For three minutes, he felt like Ultraman. In such a short time, using the two swords that were as long as nail clippers to deal with some thick-skinned monsters was simply torture.

Anyway, he would never use dual swords to fight the rock dragon. It would be pure trouble.

After dispelling his ghost transformation and waiting for his energy to recover to its maximum, he took out a bottle of walking medicine from his waist and drank it.

[Ding, you drank the walking potion, energy consumption decreased by 30%, recovery speed increased, duration 10 minutes]

The advantage of having a system is that when Link takes medicine, it can provide detailed gain data, saving him time in calculating the consumption.

"Okay, let's use the mechanical frog to try out the feel of the dual swords. I hope the swords don't bounce too hard."

Link glanced at the mechanical frog standing in the center of the training ground, and clenched the blade in his hand, ready to leave it with only the handle.

Three minutes later.

"I knew it......"

Looking at the iron knife with only the handle left in his hand, Link looked up at the sky in silence, wanting to cry but without tears.

The mechanical frog made of fine iron is not suitable for dual-sword training at all. Its meat is harder than that of a real kappa frog. At least the kappa frog has flesh and blood, but this thing is just a lump of iron.

Not to mention the wear and tear on the blade, Link only used a slight aerial spin and only the handle of the broken sword was left.

Fortunately, it is just a training weapon, so I won’t feel bad if it breaks.

Among many weapons, dual swords are the easiest to break. Not only are they short, but they are also thin and light. When using them, you must find the monster's weakness, otherwise the swords will bounce off you and make you die.

It is even more torturous to have to find opportunities to sharpen the knife during the battle.

The correct way to use this weapon is not to trim the feet, but to cut the tendons at the monsters' joints, making them unable to move.

In a sense, it is actually an assassin style.

A frontal attack is not the right way to attack a dual-blade hunter.

"I'm done. My knife is broken. I don't want to play anymore."

After walking out of the cave where the training ground was located, Link threw the handle of the dagger in his hand into the sea, got on the small boat, and rowed towards the Flame Village on the other side.

The hunter training ground in Yanhuo Village is located in an island cave opposite the Follower Square, and you have to row a boat to get there and back.

After returning to the village, Link first went to the blacksmith shop. After learning that it would take another three days to forge the Emerald Water Dragon Dagger, he went home and waited with peace of mind.

Once the weapon was forged, he set out to hunt the Scarlet Tengumon.

He had accepted all the task assignments in advance and had plenty of time, a full month.

The only problem is that Scarlet Tengumon's lair is located deep in the abandoned shrine, where there are many high-level monsters and the environment is very unfriendly to low-level hunters.

"Well, we still have some time. Let's make Hanamaru-dori for lunch today."

After returning home, Link looked at the early morning and the half bucket of mud left over from last night, and decided to try a new dish.

By skipping the complicated and tedious production process, the beggar's bird was quickly made.

What’s interesting is that Huoya Shuiyun, who came to eat in the morning, came again, and once again stared at Link with a resentful look.

He turned his head away embarrassedly.

Well, the problem wasn’t with him, but that Shuiyun’s cooking wasn’t tasty enough.

That's definitely the case.

In this way, Link had breakfast and lunch today with the beautiful dragon sisters.

They didn't come in the evening. It was said that Huoya ate too many rabbit dumplings in the afternoon and couldn't eat dinner.

(Note 1: I specifically criticize the original noble son. The light crossbow really made me vomit blood. The attack range and combo of that devilish beast were too disgusting. He could only use the long spear to escape the class. His spear skills were bad.)
