LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 59
Seeing Mr. Luo walking up to the podium, the hunters looked at each other in confusion, wondering if a mission was going to be issued early this morning?
At this point, almost all the hunter teams are empty. This cannot be discussed with the teammates who are not here. How can we easily take over the work?
Just when everyone was confused, Master Luo spoke.
Just one sentence silenced the entire scene.
"Based on the analysis of various anomalies that occurred today, the old president would like to inform everyone that in half a month, it is very likely that there will be a beast tide..."
100. Children can hit others, so wouldn’t it be reasonable to carry a machete with them?
The hunters panicked.
Who among the hunters who come to Mill City does not know the terrifying beast tide that once swept through the entire city?
However, what happened nearly a hundred years ago was just a legend to them.
They also thought that this legend would only be a legend.
Therefore, when they heard that this legend was coming again, they panicked.
They were noisy and discussing countermeasures.
Some people want to escape with their families.
There are discussions on how to evacuate the city.
Some people are discussing which force group to ask for help.
However, no one took the initiative to confront the beast tide head-on.
Looking at this scene, Mr. Luo was a little dazed.
When he and the old president were two carefree children, the day disaster struck, the entire Hunter Guild was in the same situation.
The heroes who died heroically back then did not want to be such heroes from the beginning.
The so-called heroes are those people who will bravely stand up and fight against everything when they have no other choice.
But if there is a choice, and the choice does not violate the bottom line of the heart, no one is willing to sacrifice.
Yes, if there is a choice.
Mr. Luo sighed and spoke again: "We can only choose to fight..."
As Mr. Luo spoke, the scene became silent again.
The hunters stared at the old man and remained silent in tacit agreement, waiting for his next words.
Because they know that at least now, the only one in this hall who has experienced the last beast wave is this old man.
"Perhaps you will want to escape, you will want to arrange an evacuation, you will think that we can set up checkpoints on the road and fight while retreating..." The old man said slowly, "But that is a tide of beasts, not an army. None of these methods will work.”
"Warcraft will not follow so-called roads. The mountains, wilderness and forests are all their paths. When the tide comes, they will be everywhere."
"The monsters are not coming for us. They are just fleeing and migrating in panic. Ordinary people who are alone will become their best passing snacks."
"Warcraft also need to rest, but they can go for days or even half a month without eating a bite. We can't. We need to sleep at night and cannot see clearly. It is true that there are many warcraft like us in this regard, but in the tide of beasts, , what you have to consider is not which monsters will not come, but how many monsters will come..."
"There are not a few monsters that walk at night."
"As for assistance, hey, don't think that we are the only ones who will be invaded by the beast tide. We are relatively close to us. Those cities that may have time to assist us will also be affected. Maybe there are other places that will support them. ,but……"
Having said this, Mr. Luo let out a long sigh.
"It's just us, alone."
"Maybe some of you will think that when the beast tide comes, what we have to do is to become a high wall to block the beast tide..."
"But, in fact, the beast tide is like the stormy waves of the sea. They are not coming towards us at all, it's just that we happen to be among them."
"They won't fight us to death, but there will always be extremely hungry monsters that will try to attack us, and all we can do is beat them up and drive them away, and that's all. In the last beast wave, It costs the lives of all hunters.”
"Yes, in the tide of beasts, this city is just a lonely boat in the sea."
"And we hunters are the cannons guarding this lonely boat."
"You must be prepared, because behind us are countless ordinary people in this city, including your friends and your family members. They got off the boat in the stormy sea. They will definitely die."
"We have no way to retreat."

The white staff is as warm as white jade. A beautiful blue gemstone hangs from the front of the staff. The staff is long and slender. There are faintly carved lines on it, but it feels extremely smooth.
"Well, this staff is indeed good," Yayin looked at Callidora's new staff. "The materials are high-quality, the craftsmanship is excellent, and the price is good. On the contrary, it makes people wonder why it hasn't been sold for so long..."
"Hey, after all, this is Mill City," the old craftsman said casually, sitting on his rocking chair. "This is the most sought-after place for healers."
"That's right. Mages are very rare among hunters, and there are not many healers at all." Yayin nodded, "No wonder water-attributed staffs are hard to sell."
"Hey, yes, it was originally supposed to be sold to the Chamber of Commerce, but this girl fell in love with it, so I kept it for her," the old craftsman said with a smile, "There are too few healers in this city. It's not good for healers." One point, who will take care of these injured boys?"
Hearing what the old craftsman said, Callidora opened her mouth, hesitated, and then said: "Well, actually we just traveled here..."
"Hey, don't mind me. I'm not saying that we only take care of the people who stay here," the old craftsman waved his hand, "We are just used to taking care of the healers. I think, over time, we have such a good reputation, won't it be natural that more healers will come here?"
"Ah... well, that's true," Kalidora smiled reluctantly.
When she thought that she was about to flee here because of the disaster, the more kindness the people here showed, the worse she felt in her heart.
Seeing this, Mo Wente sighed secretly in his heart and changed the subject: "By the way, don't you still have to buy a staff for brother Liu Ji? Do you like it?"
"Oh? Is there anyone else who wants a staff?" The old craftsman raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Ji, the only one who deserved the title of "brother".
He looked Liu Ji up and down, wondering, "Eh? What race is this kid from? I've never seen anyone with hair this green..."
"He, is probably a thousand-year-old potato that has become a spirit?" Mo Wente laughed, "Look at the bunch of little things following him, maybe that's his juvenile body?"
"Haha, don't come on, you're bullying me because I haven't seen many wizards, I know what familiars are," the old craftsman waved his hand, "How can there be people who look like these little things, but, then again, this little brother doesn't look like a wizard..."
"He hasn't learned magic for long, I want to buy him a staff for practice," Ya Yin said.
"Oh, so," the old craftsman nodded, "then what does he usually use to fight?"
"This..." Ya Yin glanced at Liu Ji and said uncertainly, "Fists, most of the time..."
"Oh, then it's actually not convenient to take a staff, how about this one?" The old craftsman said, got up and walked to the shelf, took off a gem-studded wristband, and threw it to Ya Yin.
"Huh? Alien staff," Ya Yin was a little surprised, "This thing is rare."
"It's less popular in other places, but it's a common style here," the old craftsman said with a smile, "The hunters' weapons are used to deal with giant monsters, and most of them have to use both hands. The combination of a small one-handed staff and a one-handed weapon, or simply a sword-staff combination, is almost not in the market here. Hunters who know some magic basically have a need for alien staffs."
"Well, it's good, but this one is not good," Ya Yin said, walked to the old craftsman, returned the wristband in his hand to the old craftsman, looked up at the wristband on the wall, pondered for a moment, and said, "Well... are there any others? These are a bit ordinary."
"Huh, these are not enough, I thought it was good as a practice staff," the old craftsman was a little surprised, but didn't say much, after all, he was still doing business, and he would be happier if the customer was willing to buy better and more expensive ones.
He looked at Liu Ji's hand, thought about it, walked into the back room, and soon came out with a simple dark brown wristband.
The wristband has a scaly texture, with four gems of different colors inlaid on it in a diamond shape.
"How about this one, which is inlaid with four gems at the same time and made of the shell of a young earth spirit dragon," the old craftsman handed the wristband to Ya Yin, "Since you have just started learning, I think this should be more convenient for practicing basic magic of various attributes."
"Oh, this one is not bad," Ya Yin looked at the wristband, "How much?"
"Three hundred gold Kaga," said the old craftsman.
Kalidora glanced at him.
"Of course, you can actually bargain to 180... Damn, what's wrong with me today," the old craftsman showed an expression as if he had bitten a peppercorn.
"Then it's 180, thank you," Ya Yin said, handing the wristband to Liu Ji, and said with a spell, "Here, put it on, this will be your staff from now on."
"Huh? A staff of this shape is quite convenient," Liu Ji's left hand turned into fine sand and drilled directly into the wristband, saving the step of untying the strap.
"Yo... it's interesting," the old craftsman raised his eyebrows.
"The advantage of the alien staff is that it is convenient and can be equipped with other weapons at the same time," Yain explained, "the disadvantage is that the aftermath of the magic power will come into direct contact with the body, which is very inconvenient when using magic against the enemy. You can use it first. If you find it inconvenient in the future, you can change it to an ordinary one."
"Then remember to come again," the old craftsman smiled and interrupted with a spell.
"Huh? You also know spells?" Liu Ji was surprised.
"Of course, if a craftsman doesn't know spells, he is just an ordinary blacksmith," the old craftsman smiled, "By the way, do you need anything else?"
"I don't need it," Yain said, looking at Kalidora and Mowente.
"Ah, we bought everything we wanted to buy," Kalidora waved her hand.
"What about you?" Yayin looked at Liu Ji again, "Do you want to buy anything else?"
"As for me... this," Liu Ji scratched his head, "but I don't have much money..."
"It's okay, just put it in Yayin's account," Kalidora said with a smile, "If we can use up the cash, we can have less burden on the road later."
"Is that so? Isn't it a bit bad..." Liu Ji looked at Yayin.
"Use it if I tell you to, don't save money for me," Yayin raised her hand and knocked on his head, "I have many ways to make money."
"Ah, really... then," Liu Ji rubbed his nose, glanced at the potatoes beside him, swallowed, and said, "Well, these brats just told me that they want each person to have a weapon. of……"
101. It’s already been a hundred chapters, and I already have some pants to wear.
The old craftsman had never seen such a scene in his life.
In his concept, "summoned beasts" all rely on their own abilities to fight. He has never heard of anyone equipping summoned beasts with weapons.
However, this strange boy who came today really did just that.
Watching these little cubs with leaves on their heads milling around in his store, he was always worried that these little guys might accidentally knock over his cabinet or something.
Fortunately, these guys are not as stupid as they look. They are all very careful when walking around. However, these guys don’t seem to be sure what equipment they want, and they go back and forth to put him in the store. I tried all the things, but sometimes they were too high to reach, so I had to help him get them.
The result is that after taking it here, he puts it there, and after taking it there he puts it away, which makes him very tired.
After struggling for a while, these potato bastards finally decided on what they wanted.
Some are holding big swords, some are holding sledgehammers, some are holding swords and shields, some are holding long knives, some are holding double knives, and some are holding big axes. Finally, there is one who doesn't like anything, but just likes it. He picked up the long metal stick that he had forged but hadn't figured out what to use it for.
It’s also strange that none of them are repeated.
He thought that all the potatoes that looked similar would choose the same one.
Ya Yin and others were also surprised. They did not expect that these potatoes would have such an idea.
Although I feel embarrassed to say it, but...
Before, they really thought that these potatoes were just a bunch of fools who laughed and laughed all day long, thinking about nothing but cooking...
In fact, it’s not their fault either.
Even Liu Ji thought so before.
Although these potatoes can speak Chinese, Liu Ji only knows how to call them "grandpa", "fanfan" and "hungry". They can chat with each other, but the topic is basically about eating, which makes Liu Ji It’s hard not to think of them as a foodie.
Looking at their current appearance with long knives and swords, Liu Ji actually doubted whether they were bought for use or just for fun like children buying toys.
In fact, it's okay to buy toys for them. The main reason is that the money doesn't belong to him, which is very embarrassing.
It's just that on this street, even if he wanted the potatoes to try his hand, he couldn't let them go.
After thinking about it, he simply stayed silent. Anyway, money is something that can be settled later.
At worst, the potatoes won't be used, and they will be resold later.
If only they could use...
That would be interesting.
At least in the future, when there are soldiers coming from all directions, I can have some help.
Moreover, the equipment chosen by the potatoes is not top-notch, and the price is basically tens of gold kaga.
Although the price is not cheap...
But fortunately, as a temporarily rich woman, Kalidora can still afford a few hundred gold.
Adding up her staff, Liu Ji's arm armor, and the weapons of her cubs, she spent about 1,800 gold kaga this time, and she still had more than 900 gold kaga left in her bag.
Everyone decided to use part of the money to buy clothes, and keep the rest as a deposit to see if they could use it in the next city.
The boss, who had sold a large amount of goods, was obviously in a good mood. After sending them out enthusiastically, he also showed them the way to the clothing store.
