Norwich glanced at him, smiled and said, "You can ask your captain about this." He handed the scroll to Ian: "This is the pattern of the mysterious footprint and the mission record. As for the rest of the rules, I don't need to tell you in detail."
"No." Ian took the scroll and watched Norwich leave. He bowed his head and opened the scroll.
Ruby, Eugene, and Luna immediately looked at the scroll. On the scroll, there was a three-clawed footprint in the shape of a "Y". The first two slender footprints branched off, while the last one was a slightly shorter one. Below the footprints, there was an extremely detailed drawing of the wasteland ruins, and the footprints were deeply embedded in the ground.
Next to the footprints was a measuring line. The two front claws were seven centimeters long and the back claws were three centimeters long. The total length was 1.1 meters. It was equivalent to half the body length of an ordinary person. The width was six centimeters and the depth of the footprint was three centimeters.
These data showed a lot of information about the monster.
"Martin, what kind of monster do you think it is?" Ian asked Martin who was next to him.
Martin stared at the pattern on the scroll: "I have never seen it before. But from the shape of the claws, it should be a crawling monster. Most of the crawling monsters are cold-blooded monsters. They like to stay in sticky and wet places."
Eugene was curious: "Why is it a crawling monster? Aren't there a lot of monsters with claws like this? "
Martin glanced at him and frowned slightly. He was a little impatient with these ignorant newbies, but now that the mission was imminent, he couldn't be bothered to argue with him. He coldly said, "This can be observed from the height of the footsteps. If it's not a crawling monster, then it should be an upright monster. Based on the size of the footprints, its height and size should be very shocking, so the footprints left behind shouldn't be so shallow."
Eugene came to a realization and kept nodding.
Ian stared at the footprints for a while. He put away the scroll and said to everyone: "Well, if you have anything to say, then we will talk on the way. Time is pressing. Go change your equipment and get ready to go. Remember to bring supplies. If we find the mysterious footprints, then we may be able to complete the additional mission. But it will take a lot of time. We must not cut off our supplies."
"Yes." Everyone obeyed.
After returning to their rooms, they put on the equipment they had prepared beforehand.
Dean and Eugene received the basic standard equipment of the Dragon Guards. It was a set of dark armor. The material was like metal, but also like plastic. It firmly wrapped the body. The collar, wrists, knees and other places of the armor were embedded with glittering crystals.
Dean had seen this crystal from Hathaway's wrist. It was a meteorite that could isolate the high-intensity radiation outside the wall.
In addition to the basic armor, both of them also had basic weapons. Dean reported his occupation as an archer and received a bow. The bow's entire body was flowing silver, its lines extremely beautiful, but the two ends of the bow were very sharp, like two strange teeth, and the bowstring was dark red, like a full blood vessel. The pulling force was extremely strong, and even with his strength, he needed sixty to seventy percent of his strength to pull the bow to its full circle.
Although it was a basic weapon, it was considered an extremely powerful divine weapon for the Dragon Guards.
After putting on the equipment, the rest was the supplies. It was a very sturdy black bag. The material was like glue, waterproof and thermal insulation. It was filled with twelve food boxes and two bottles of purified water.
Dean estimated that the supplies were enough for a primary limitless to eat and drink for twelve days. If he was frugal, then it would be enough for half a month.
He didn't care too much about the food. After all, he had spent three years of scavenger training. He knew how to find food and water outside the giant wall. Hunters and Dragon Guards wouldn't waste time to learn this knowledge. Instead of wasting time learning how to survive, it was better to spend the time learning how to fight. They could increase their strength and finish the task faster.
As for survival … no matter how much they struggled, once they encountered a powerful monster it would be a dead end.
Soon, everyone was fully equipped.
Dean soon saw Ruby in the team. He was carrying a huge bag full of water and food. The amount of food he carried was much more than their standard amount. The amount of food in this bag was comparable to the total amount of food carried by the other six people.
Dean understood Ian's intention. Carrying too much food outside the giant wall would slow down their movement speed. But they weren't acting alone. They were a team.
Therefore, Ruby's main responsibility in the early stage was to take care of the food. The fighting could be handed over to the others.
This was the efficiency of the team.
When it was time to set off, everyone had one last meal before leaving the Dragon Clan.
Ian led the team to ride the dragon horse that was specially trained by the Dragon clan. They went to the passage outside the giant wall.
"Captain, how long are we going to go? When will we come back?" Eugene asked Ian.
Ian said, "The reward for the main mission this time is quite high. It's seven hundred. You can come back when you finish the mission. Otherwise, we will deduct seven hundred merit points. If we split it evenly among everyone, we will deduct a hundred merit points!"
"100 merit points isn't much. We are going to perform such a dangerous task and only get so little merit points. The higher ups are too stingy!" Eugene complained.
Ian looked at him: "100 merit points is not bad. We can exchange a lot of things with it."
Eugene looked at the strange-looking saber on his waist and asked curiously, "Like this saber of yours?"
Ian smiled faintly and said, "This' Blooddrinker 'is worth more than 100 merit points. This weapon was forged from the front teeth of a level 52' Flat Tooth Beast '. When I exchanged for it, I spent 850 merit points."
"So much?" Eugene was speechless: "What's so special about this sword? It can cut iron like mud? My saber seems to be able to do the same. "
Ruby rolled his eyes as he heard Eugene's ignorance: "What's the use of your broken sword? It can't cut through monsters that are above level 50! Cut iron like mud? What's the big deal about iron? The skin and scales of these monsters are many times harder than iron. Moreover, a broken knife like yours would break under the claws of these monsters. Do you know how hard it is? "
Eugene heard him choke and was stunned for a moment before he came to a realization.
Dean felt strange in his heart. Although Eugene was a newcomer … It seemed that he didn't know anything about the battles outside the giant wall. Had he never been outside the giant wall?
"Captain." Eugene suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "What are the first and second additional missions that person mentioned?"
Ian held the reins and galloped through the wilderness. Without turning his head, he said, "The first and second additional missions are old missions. Almost every time we carry out a mission, these two additional missions are there. They are permanent missions. The first additional task is to find relics or ruins. As long as you provide clues or directly provide the coordinates of the ruins then you will get a huge amount of merit points. "
"The second task is to collect a plant called 'dragon grass'. It is said that it is the dragon worm's favorite food. Each dragon grass can be exchanged for 10 merit points."
Eugene was taken aback and asked, "A relic from the ancient era? What was a relic from an ancient era? Are they the ruins outside the giant wall? "
Ian replied: "Of course not. Those ruins have been scrapped. Even the copper and iron in the ruins have been corroded by the rain. What we are looking for are the remains of human corpses or items that haven't been damaged in the past. These ruins are generally sealed and hidden in the ground or in some mountains."
