hunt and eat

Chapter 17 From today onwards, I am also too swordsman
"Grandma, I will miss you!"

"And everyone in the village, I will come back as a qualified hunter!"

Three days later in the morning, Nia stood on the deck of the transport ship, vigorously waving her arms towards the crowd below.

The ancient tower on the side leaned lazily against the railing, yawning listlessly.

"You should say something, Guta~" The girl pushed the guy next to her dissatisfied, and her small face instantly bulged into a meat bun.

"Hey, it's so troublesome~" Guta muttered, waved his hands casually, and shouted: "Ah, I will miss everyone too."

"There are also dishes from the village chief's mother-in-law."

Nia gave him an annoyed hammer, which made everyone on the pier burst into laughter.

"Nia, Guta, remember to write letters." The village chief's mother-in-law reminded her, while she was happy that two more hunters had appeared in the village, she also felt inexplicably sad.

The next time we meet, I don't know how many years it will be.

The ship gradually began to pull anchor and set sail, and the four to five-meter-high hull moved away from the pier little by little, bringing up and down waves.

Looking at the smaller and smaller figures on the shore, Nia kept waving her arms until the pier completely disappeared at the sea level before slowly leaning on the railing.

"We really left the village." Until now, the girl still had a sense of unreality.

"Ah."

Guta was sitting on the deck, his legs were hanging outside the boat, swinging once and for all.

The refreshing sea breeze brushed over his somewhat messy hair, which brought out a strange, slightly salty smell.

Looking around, it was all blue.Under the reflection of the cloudless blue sky, people can't tell for a while, where is the sea and where is the sky?
"First time going to sea?"

Captain Layton, who was carrying a huge fishing rod, came to the side of the two, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

With a flick of the hook, Layton skillfully threw the bait to the sea surface three to four meters away.

Afterwards, he opened the folding stool under his arm and sat down slowly.

"The speed of the boat is so fast, can it really catch something?" Guta looked at him suspiciously.

"Sarah, who knows?" Captain Layton looked confident, with an old-fashioned expression on his face.

Not long after, the three of them saw the fishing rod sinking suddenly.

"Look, isn't it here?"

Captain Layton chuckled, and raised his thick, hairy arm straight up.

With the splash of water, a huge blue swordfish was pulled out of the sea by the fishing line.

The fishing rod was pulled back for a while, and the huge fish was directly smashed on the deck, splashing the salty seawater all over the three of them.

This is a very distinctive looking fish.

The blue-green fish scales reflect phosphorescent light under the sunlight, and the undulating dorsal fin of the mountains is constantly twisting.

Of course, the most striking thing is its slender spear-like head.

"Haven't you seen the king swordfish?" Captain Layton smiled, greeted the hunters on the side, and moved the fish to the kitchen.

"An extra meal for lunch today!"

Guta looked eagerly at the fishing rod in Captain Layton's hand.

With this thing, can I also catch the one just now?
And if you fish by yourself, it should be regarded as hunting, and the taste will also have a bonus...

Seemingly noticing Guta's scorching gaze, Captain Layton tossed the fishing rod intentionally or unintentionally.

"want to?"

Guta nodded like ticking off a timer.

"Well, because of the Frost Wing Wind Dragon, I haven't tested you much before..."

"Let's fight officially, and the bet is the fishing rod." While talking, Layton motioned to the hunter at the side to bring over the spare weapon on the boat.

"Choose another one from the ship's armory. It won't be worse than your broken bone knife."

"Is it a habit to use a big sword? Or is it a Taidao or a double sword? These ships have them all."

"Well……"

Glancing at the several weapons brought out from the arsenal, Guta thought for a moment with his chin raised.

These weapons, without exception, are large in size.

This is no wonder, after all, the hunter's main opponent is a huge monster, and it is difficult for conventional weapons to cause enough lethality.

After thinking about it, Guta pointed to the Taidao in the middle.

Well, it is a Taidao, but at a glance, it is at least nearly two meters long, and it is completely different from those Taidaos in the previous life.

"I use that."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward and picked up the ordinary-looking iron sword.

"This iron knife itself is not worth much. You just take it and use it. Let it be a gift to congratulate you on becoming a hunter." Captain Layton waved his hand and directly gave the iron knife to Guta.

"Ah, thank you then." Guta was quite happy after buying a weapon for nothing.

Shrugging his shoulders, Layton lifted his giant hammer as tall as a man from the wall of the captain's cabin.

"For you, I won't hold back, is it okay?"

Guta nodded.

"Then let's begin."

After saying that, Layton turned the sledgehammer in his hand and rushed directly to the ancient tower that was in a posture.

Before the people arrived, the hammer arrived first, and the hammer head, shining with black iron luster, slammed down from top to bottom.

An unpretentious vertical cut came out from the side, knocking the hammer head in one direction, rubbing against the shoulder of the ancient tower, and sank into the wooden deck under his feet.

"Captain! Be careful, don't smash the boat!" The helmsman who was watching the battle protested.

"Sorry sorry, pay attention next time."

Layton dodged Guta's side kick with a short body, pulled the hammer back from the ground, and took a few small steps back.

"Have you ever used a Taidao before?" Layton looked at the ancient tower which was slowly sheathing the sword in surprise.

This action of closing the knife doesn't look like it's the first time it's been used.

"I've seen it in my dream...probably"

Guta fooled the past vaguely.

When he was on earth, in order to taste the local delicacies, he once stayed in Japan for half a year and learned the basics of kendo in a local dojo for a period of time.

That gym focuses on Xinyinliu, so what I learn the most is Juhe and sword drawing.

That's why he chose Taidao as his weapon.

"Strange boy." Layton could hear the other party's insincere words, but he didn't intend to investigate too much.

With a turn of the hammer, the waist suddenly exerted strength, and Layton made a horizontal swing with both hands of the hammer.

Almost at the same time, the Taidao behind Guta was unsheathed again, the blade turned an arc, and met the heavy hammer swung in the form of a sideways slash.

The moment the weapons collided, sparks flew everywhere.

A crisp and loud roar resounded through the entire deck.

Guta rolled back several meters in embarrassment, stood up again with difficulty, and looked at his new weapon with some distress.

Fortunately, no major damage.

There is not a small gap between my weapon and the opponent's hammer in terms of weight, so that I suffered a big loss in the duel just now.

[Detected a peak breakthrough in the host's slashing ability]

[Breakthrough to LV5]

[Acquisition ability, Iai LV1]

It seems that the cassock slashing that I just did was performed at a super level, reaching the level of slashing LV5.

Even the Iai Kendo that I learned in my previous life has been consolidated into an ability by the system.

What a pleasant surprise.

"Iai? Try it..."

Just do what you say, seeing Captain Layton jumping up high, swinging the heavy hammer down in his hand, Guta took a step back to dodge, and took the iron blade in his hand again.

"Jihe · See Cut"

When Layton's hammer danced in front of him, the ancient tower moved instantly.

The long and thick sword was pulled out from the scabbard, one step forward, and Guta slashed in front of Commander Layton's face.

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Layton knew that it was too late to block with the hammer, so he simply abandoned the hammer, and his two big hands joined together instantly, and he caught the sword above his head firmly with his empty hand.

There is not much difference in strength between the two, and neither can advance an inch for a while.

But after all, Layton's experience was more profound than Guta's, and he just raised his leg at random, and kicked the latter's calf.

Under the unstable center of gravity, the boy directly knelt on the deck with his right leg.

Before he could stand up, Layton's thick fist had already hovered in front of the throat.

"Ah, I lost." Guta gasped and stood up slowly.

He didn't feel depressed at all, after all, he didn't think he could win at first.

"Are you still coming?" Layton wiped his nose, looking at the young man who was slowly sheathing his knife.

"No, I'm hungry."

Guta shook his head, and looked regretfully at the big fishing rod not far away.

Immediately afterwards, his nose moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth began to droole unconsciously.

He smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen.
