Chapter 33 Magical Armaments!

Three tasks, three types.

And they all present a certain challenge!

The challenge of the fold monkey mission lies in its sheer number.

The task description states that the troop of plecos consists of more than fifty adult individuals.

It would be difficult to wipe out a three-person squad.

The difficulty of the cat hunting mission lies in the cat hunting itself.

This second-tier magical beast is agile, cunning, and fierce, and excels at ambushes.

In complex terrain, they are like assassins, making them difficult to deal with.

The difficulty of the escort mission lies in the uncertainty of the process.

A caravan attracts not only monsters, but also scavengers and bandits.

Security around Dusk Valley City is not very good.

Among the scavengers, and even the residents of the fortified villages, there might be informants for bandits...

Moreover, for a newly formed demon hunter team, taking on three F-level missions at once and having to complete them all within a single day is quite an achievement.

Even with Shi Lan, a bronze-level demon hunter, leading the team, the task would still be quite difficult.

Fortunately, all three tasks are concentrated in one area.

If the plan is reasonable and nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to be completed.

Therefore, neither Shi Lan, Wei Dongming, nor Shen Mo felt there was a problem.

After accepting the task.

The three of them prepared together, replenished their equipment and supplies, and then headed out of Mugu City in a group.

Wei Dongming's two apprentices were also in the group.

However, when the task was settled, the two of them and Wei Dongming were considered as one entity.

Even if the two of them made contributions, the credit should be attributed to Wei Dongming...

On their way to the South Gate, the three began to discuss their fighting styles.

"I can do a little bit of everything... but I'm best at using a sword and a shield."

He has mastered four combat skills, two of which are sword techniques: Sky-Piercing Slash and One-Word Slash.

The other two combat skills are Sprint and Shield Parry.

After demonstrating his arm shield and ring-pommel sword, Wei Dongming added:

"Besides that, I also set traps and track monsters..."

"I am skilled with a battle axe and know six combat techniques, three of which are second-tier techniques!"

Shi Lan casually waved the exaggeratedly shaped battle axe in her hand, looking relaxed.

But the whooshing sound of the battle axe as it is swung is extremely oppressive.

Shen Mo's gaze, however, was fixed on a gemstone embedded in the Stone Mist Battle Axe.

It looks a bit like a magic crystal, but it's red.

"Magical weaponry?" Shen Mo's expression changed.

Magical weapons are a new type of magical equipment that appeared later than magic bullet guns.

It is a combination of a magical artifact and an enchanted weapon.

Magical weaponry allows warriors' attacks to also possess certain magical effects!

"Yes!" Shi Lan slammed her iron armor on, making a loud clanging sound. "From now on, I'll handle the frontal battles!"

Shen Mo glanced at Shi Lan's battle axe again before introducing it:

"My best skill is archery, followed by swordsmanship."

"I have mastered three combat skills: Charged Arrow, Sky Slash, and Sprint..."

After the three introduced themselves, Wei Dongming introduced his two apprentices.

Zheng Hao is skilled in the Sky-Piercing Slash, and Li Zitao is skilled in Shield Counter; both of them will participate in this mission.

Although it hasn't been upgraded, it still possesses considerable combat power.

After a conversation, Shen Mo discovered that Shi Lan was not as careless as she appeared.

Instead, he was meticulous despite his rough exterior, constantly working to improve the team's atmosphere...

Before long, the five of them arrived at the south gate.

However, the group was delayed when they were leaving the city gate.

The city gate was crowded with cars, motorcycles, and witchers dressed in white and blue.

"The Azure Hunters?"

Seeing this, Shi Lan stepped forward, exchanged pleasantries with an acquaintance for a moment, and then returned to Shen Mo and Wei Dongming, saying:

"Let's wait a little longer."

The Azure Hunters are under investigation.

Judging from the situation, it won't be over anytime soon.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo looked at the Azure Hunter Group's convoy.

The city guards and witchers were mixed together; one group was confirming the identities of the Azure Hunters members, while the other group was searching the Azure Hunters' supplies.

Those off-road vehicles were basically all equipped with machine guns on their roofs.

Shen Mo even saw rocket launchers, mortars, and boxes of ammunition.

Thinking to himself, Mugu City is incredibly audacious, daring to allow a hunting party to bring so much weaponry into the city...

Just then, a car stopped in front of Shi Lan and her group of five.

The car window rolled down, and Lan Ting greeted Shi Lan with a smile:

"Going out of town to do a quest?"

"yes!"

"Where are you going? Need a ride?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Lan was somewhat tempted, but still shook her head and said:

"Never mind."

This is our first mission, so we can still work out and see how things go on the way.

"Oh." Lan Ting glanced at Shen Mo and Wei Dongming, then looked away.

Taking the opportunity, Shi Lan asked curiously:

"Why are you being investigated so strictly this time?"

"Hey!" Lan Ting said unhappily upon hearing this, "A caravan of the Li family was robbed."

A sentry post along the route was also destroyed.

We happened to come back via that road yesterday, so…”

Lan Ting helplessly shrugged.

The Li family?

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo immediately recalled what Shi Lan had mentioned about the Mei family yesterday.

This is clearly a major family power in Mugu City.

Furthermore, the ability to mobilize the city guards to search a hunting party suggests considerable strength...

"It's finally over!"

Hearing his companions calling from ahead, Lan Ting sighed and waved goodbye to Shi Lan:

"Bye now."

"goodbye!"

Watching Lan Ting close the car window and the vehicle merge into the Azure Hunter Group's traffic, Shi Lan said enviously:

"How about we buy a pickup truck once the team has enough funds?"

Demon hunter teams can also set up team funds.

This portion of the fund can be used to purchase team supplies.

It can also serve as a retirement pension or a survivor's benefit...

Unlike a hunting party, the leader of a demon hunter team cannot completely control how the team fund is used; the team needs the approval of the other members...

As Shen Mo watched the Azure Hunters' convoy leave the city, he looked puzzled and asked:

"Their vehicles are all gasoline-powered, right? Where do they put these vehicles when they go to the Demon Realm or even the Abyss for quests?"

"Time to set up the sentry post."

Shi Lan had previously been in the hunting party, and casually remarked:

"Hunting groups can store supplies and vehicles at outposts and forts."

Moreover, even if they don't stay at the outpost, the hunting party can station itself on the edge of the Demon Realm, leaving some ordinary members to guard it.

With the hunter group's vehicle-mounted firepower, the surrounding monsters usually have little chance of posing a threat to them.

Unless they are mortal enemies, few forces would risk seizing the hunting party's vehicles and guns.

In fact, vehicles belonging to individuals and demon hunter teams can also be stored at outposts.

However, there are level requirements for Witchers, and they must apply in advance and pay the corresponding fees.

Although it's inconvenient, using these vehicles can save about thirty kilometers of travel when going out on missions...

Shen Mo thought about how his group had to travel thirty or forty miles to complete their mission.

It's a waste of both time and energy.

Having a vehicle would be nice...

With that in mind, the group of five left the south gate of Mugu City.

No other teams sent invitations this time.

However, there were scavengers and demon hunters who wanted to join the Blood Axe Demon Hunter Team, but Shi Lan refused them.

As the wasteland draws ever closer, traces of monsters gradually emerge.

A vulture flew overhead but did not stop.

There were also rotting wolves roaming in the distance, which would quickly move away as soon as they saw a group of people.

For the first half of the journey, everything was relatively peaceful...
