Chapter 166 Seeking Help!!
Nearly an hour later, the hunter's assistant came back in a hurry with a pile of materials.
"Mr. Jiang, these are the commissions that I have selected that meet your requirements. There are four in total. Please take a look." He then handed over all the relevant materials.
Jiang Shang nodded, reached out to take it, and began to read it.
The assistant explained, "Mr. Jiang, the first request is to go to Inner Mongolia and capture a wolf king that is wreaking havoc on the grassland. According to the information passed back by another hunter, it seems to be a leader-level 'Saber-toothed Wild Wolf King'. There is a picture of its appearance on page 5 of the document. Recently, its traces were found near the Yinshan Mountains. The client also said that if the wolf king cannot be captured, its child is fine."
Jiang Shang listened to his assistant's words and turned to the fifth page. As expected, he saw the figure of the saber-toothed wolf.
It was a huge figure with brown fur all over its body. The most eye-catching thing was its protruding mouth and sharp saber teeth. In the photo, it was standing on a high mountain, looking at the mountains in the distance, and below the peak were a group of wolves lined up like rocks.
After carefully observing the wolves for a while, Jiang Shang shook his head and said, "There is only one commander-level wolf, which is not enough to fight. And we have to chase the wolf king and others, which is too time-consuming."
As he spoke, Jiang Shang turned to the next document.
"Mr. Jiang, this mission is a commission from the Victoria clan in the UK. They hope someone can go to the Gambier Islands to capture a sub-dragon." said the assistant.
Victoria clan?
Isn't this the British royal family?
Jiang Shang looked at the magic dragon roaring across an island with a slightly solemn expression.
The wingspan of the dragon in the photo is estimated to be about 150 meters based on the shadow cast on the ground. And this estimate is only an approximation. In reality, the wingspan of this dragon may be close to meters. This size is almost at the level of a monarch. Moreover, this guy has the blood of a real dragon, and his strength has to be raised to a higher level. Now Jiang Shang can only escape from it even if he tries his best.
"Forget about that. I am too small to face a monarch-level demon with my body." Jiang Shang said.
"Then Mr. Jiang, the following must be suitable for you. It is a commission to go to the Pacific Ocean to capture storm squid. As far as I know, storm squid are social creatures, and their leaders are often commander-level monsters. Recently, a hunter team has accepted the relevant commission. You can go with them." said the assistant.
Catching thunderstorm squid?
Listening to the assistant's words, Jiang Shang frowned.
Isn't this the task that I just called stupid?
"No, someone has already taken this task. Why are you giving it to me?" Jiang Shang looked at his assistant and questioned.
After hearing this, the assistant's expression did not change at all, and he said calmly as if he had already made a plan: "Sir, you don't know that although this thunder squid has a fierce temper and is extremely dangerous, its meat is also extremely delicious. At the same time, long-term consumption can also improve resistance to lightning. Therefore, it has always been a well-known gourmet state banquet in the world. There is an endless stream of people who want to eat it, and this has led to a long-term commission to capture thunder squid.
And you also said, 'There must be a lot of monsters, and they must be of high quality, and it would be best if there were commander-level monsters in the mission information', so this mission fits the bill very well."
When Jiang Shang heard this, he exclaimed, "What a great guy!"
It turns out this stupid commission is a long-term one!
However, Jiang Shang still did not intend to accept this commission, if for no other reason. He couldn't just complain about the task and then take it personally.
After complaining in his heart, Jiang Shang raised his hand to take away the materials in front of him and looked at the commission at the bottom.
As soon as he saw it, those huge words struck Jiang Shang's heart.
"Is this a call for help?" Jiang Shang looked up at his assistant. "Yes, Mr. Jiang. This is a notice Songcheng sent to the Hunter Alliance two days ago. A tiger king in Changbai Mountain summoned many demon tribes and attacked Songcheng. Songcheng has issued a purple alert, and the Mage Association and the army there are also fighting hard and evacuating the people from Songcheng! But to this day, many people are still trapped in the city, and the evacuation environment is difficult. Many hunters have already accepted this commission and boarded the military aircraft to go there." The assistant explained.
"Are there any military planes going to Songcheng this afternoon?" Jiang Shang said firmly.
He decided to accept the commission as soon as he read the materials for the first time.
Although it is possible that we may not be able to find demons of sufficient quality to test the power of the Little Star-Picking Hand on this trip, the monarch-level will definitely be stopped by the super-class magician.
But it doesn’t matter, we don’t need to be the commander, we can also cast magic on the general-level monsters.
Even if we use a cannon to kill a mosquito, it still means we have eliminated the demon, right?
Moreover, many people were suffering, so Jiang Shang did not intend to find fault with them anymore.
"I'm sorry, sir. Today's military plane has already taken off. But there will be another plane rushing over for support the day after tomorrow. You can take that one." The assistant said after a slight pause.
"It's too late. Do you know which city is the nearest to Songcheng? I will go there and then rush to Songcheng." Jiang Shang asked with a frown.
When the hunter assistant heard Jiang Shang's words, he knew that the mage in front of him wanted to rush to Songcheng as soon as possible. He immediately showed an excited expression and said in a hurry: "Please wait, I will check. I found that it is Jingcheng, but there is no plane to there. You have to take a ride from Modu to Huacheng, and then take the high-speed rail to get there!"
Can't get there directly?
Jiang Shang looked thoughtful when he heard this, and suddenly asked, "Is there no other plan?"
"No, Mr. Jiang, this is the closest one. Or you should wait for the military plane to arrive directly the day after tomorrow." The assistant said apologetically.
Obviously, she felt very guilty for not being able to help Jiang Shang.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let me ask you, how many hours does it take to take the high-speed rail from Huacheng to Jingcheng?" Jiang Shang said.
"two!"
"What about the people from Feihua City, the Demon Capital?"
"5."
"That's it. It's definitely faster than the plane the day after tomorrow. I have a contracted beast, so I can just hurry on the rest of the way." Jiang Shang said firmly.
"Okay, sir, I'll book the nearest flight for you right away. Booking through the Hunter Alliance gives you privileges and you can jump the queue and get on the nearest flight." The assistant said hastily, then put on her high heels and ran to the service counter.
But before Jiang Shang could praise her for her decisiveness, she came running back with the sound of clattering.
"Excuse me, sir, could you lend me your hunter certificate? I need it to process the plane ticket." The assistant said with blushing cheeks.
After hearing this, Jiang Shang nodded and handed over his hunter badge.
