I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 136
After two days of marching, it was noon.

In the Cat Car, Mei Lu, who was looking out the window, found a mineral vein and shouted to give a reminder.

Li Ming, who was driving in the front room of the truck, looked at the map and looked at the surrounding environment.

Confirm that there are herbivorous dragons living around and they can hunt.

Then he guided the two Bobos to the side of the road and stopped the truck.

The two cat cars that were upside down on the roof of the carriage were unloaded and landed.

Chuying Ni Shuang led two teams of cats to explore the surrounding area and start hunting.

The remaining group of cats set up cooking utensils on the grass and cut into sections the fresh vegetables picked along the way in the small pergola they built.

Li Ming, who stayed behind to look after the truck, carried the mining pickaxe on his shoulder and came to the chanchite vein under the rock wall.

Because it is located beside the road, the height of the columnar veins that have been collected for many rounds is almost the same as the ground, and the cross section is full of mottled digging marks.

Li Ming was originally doing research and didn't care about it.

throat!throat!
The mining pick struck, and small pieces of chanchite scattered everywhere.

After squatting on the ground to collect for a while, the moderately sized pieces were stuffed into the furnace bag injector.

Then Li Ming moved a large iron basin and poured a large bucket of foaming synovial fluid that had been recently produced into the basin.

Wear the Dragon Slayer Gauntlets and carefully place the combustible mineral dust into the furnace bag injector.

After reaching the appropriate ratio, Li Ming shook it clockwise in a circular motion.

As the temperature gradually increases, dark red veins appear on the surface of the spherical furnace capsule.

puff~ puff~
The choking black smoke spilled out from the jet nozzle.

The spherical furnace capsule quickly turned red, and the Dragon-Slaying Gauntlet attached to it heated up and turned dark pink.

Li Ming, who looked normal, continued to rock as if coaxing a baby to sleep.

呲!呲!
Two minutes later, black smoke erupted violently.

Li Ming pointed the jet towards the ground.

The gelatinous black goo slowly overflowed and slid onto the shield of the Burning Flame.

Like the black substance spitted out by Zhan Long, the gelatin expanded rapidly and transformed from pure black to bright orange, appearing extremely unstable.

Li Ming started directly, spread it out with his palm, and applied it evenly on the curved shield blades on both sides.

呲啦~呵啦~
As the palms rubbed repeatedly, sparks overflowed.

The shield blades on both sides made a hissing sound and quickly heated up and turned orange.

Li Ming stared at the burning surface, not paying attention to any slight changes.

The shield is completely immersed in the bubbling synovial fluid and quenched.

呲! ! !
A large number of vacuoles poured out of the basin, and a rapid burning sound was heard.

The temperature dropped sharply, and the orange-yellow shield blade returned to the blue.

Li Mingju picked it up from the iron basin and looked towards the sky.

The curved shield blade looked slightly wider and thicker, and there was a flash of rainbow light on the edge, as if it was coated with a colorful film.

Take out the whetstone and smooth out the small, unsightly slag-like particles on the shield surface.

Li Ming nodded with satisfaction and began further forging the energy-charging sword.

Regarding the application of [Smelting Forging], Li Ming researched two uses.

One is to further forge the fire attribute shield axe.

This forging process refers to the grinding tail blade in Dragon Slayer's memory, the workshop creation steps, and the linkage of fog ball and Dragon Slayer gauntlet.

The sharpness increases slightly with each forging.

At the same time, the weight of the shield and the energy-charged sword will increase due to the melted minerals attached to them.

Li Ming currently prefers to use heavier shield axes, so it's not a big problem at the moment.

The other one is smeared with flammable minerals, allowing the shield ax to heat up and soften, entering a red-hot state similar to that of a dragon-slaying tail blade.

While improving the fire attribute, it can also improve the cutting ability.

An hour and a half later, the two cat cars returned.

Four herbivorous dragon corpses were unloaded by cats.

After decomposition, part of the raw meat is directly put into the pot, and the rest is sent to the refrigerated compartment for storage.

The team had a quick lunch and continued on their way.

In pursuit of travel speed, this will be the team's last hunt.

Five days later, the truck was moving slowly on the snow-covered road.

The mining trucks that were often seen during my last visit have disappeared.

Occasionally, if a caravan truck comes from the opposite direction, the other party will also give a reminder.

The team is reminded not to move towards Bokai Village. The path ahead is not only buried by an avalanche, but also affected by the battle between Benglong and Tyrannosaurus.

Many monsters are migrating, and even close to the surroundings of Bokai Village is a very dangerous behavior.

Unable to pass, the team could only store the truck at the nearest freight transfer station and lead the three cat trucks to continue deeper.

"Where's the road?"

Li Ming glanced at the map and then at the snow-capped mountains towering in front of him.

I thought to myself that the road was blocked, it had simply disappeared.

"Has even the surrounding terrain been rewritten?"

Ni Shuang sighed.

puff~ puff~
Several white cat heads emerged from the snowdrifts at the foot of the mountain.

"It's the Hunter Team, meow!"

Elu shouted, and dozens of cats rushed out one after another and surrounded him.

"Don't move forward, meow. The front is being affected by the battle between the black and white twins. It's very dangerous."

Elu, who was wearing a cotton padded jacket, gave a reminder.

"Are you Elu who is resident in Bokai Village?"

"Uh! How do you know meow?"

Ella looked surprised.

"You call Collapse Dragon Tyrant the Black and White Twins, and the style of cotton clothing is unique to Bokai Village. The team is here to rescue, so don't worry about safety issues."

"Really? Meow! Because we were worried about President Park Yeon and receptionist Bo Lan, we tried to dig a tunnel, but it collapsed soon after.

Ellu's cat ears drooped.

"Let's do this, Eller. You will lead the cats to help dig the tunnel. Let's climb over this snow-capped mountain first and see what's going on in the village."

Li Ming felt that since the cat car was temporarily impassable, there was no need to take the cats into danger.

"But climbing over the snow-capped mountains with supplies on your back will be very tiring, right?"

Eller asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, other hunting teams don't always march like this in the wild."

Climbing on rock walls covered with ice crystals and walking through waist-deep snow.

The three people and the two cats walked forward for a day and a night, and in the pure white, they saw the outline of the village with a small amount of black.

After exploring, half of the village was buried in snow.

From the large amount of daily necessities scattered on the ground, it can be judged that the villagers were evacuated in a hurry.

Walking into the long and narrow ice crystal tunnel that connected the bottom of the mountain, the team felt slightly relieved when they saw a faint firelight at the end in front of them.

In the circular distribution hall, the stove in the center was almost extinguished.

Only the counter was lit by a torch.

"President Pu Yan, you are finally back. Ah! Are you a hunter team?"

Bolan, who was lying on the counter, stood up suddenly and picked up a torch to illuminate it.

"Yes."

Li Ming reminded.

"It's great to have a hunter team visiting~"

Bolan let out a soft cry and fainted behind the counter.

When I opened my eyes again, there was a bright fire in the hall.

Two cats were holding iron drills and roasting meat in front of the stove.

The female hunter wearing poisonous bird armor was mixing ammunition in front of the round table.

The male hunter in the Serpentis armor stood in front of the notice board and looked at the only three old hunting contracts on it.

Looking at the barbecue and soup on the counter, as well as the hot drinks with steam floating on the mouth of the bottle, the weak Bolan started to eat.

Not long after, Li Ming walked in wearing loose armor.

After placing the basket of charcoal blocks next to the stove, he walked towards the counter.

"Do you feel better?" "Yeah"

Bo Lan, who was lying on the counter, stood up and his covered cotton coat slipped off.

"President Park Yeon, is he okay?"

"you are?"

Bo Lan asked uncertainly, looking at the eyes exposed by the general's sickle helmet.

"Ruthless Team, Big Wild Boar King, do you still have any impressions?"

Li Ming said the key words.

"You are Li Ming!"

Bolan exclaimed.

"And me."

Chuying waved her hand.

"Chuying is here too. I didn't expect you to become a four-star hunter so quickly. President Pu Yan should be fine."

"Did he go to observe the battle between the black and white walls?"

"The observation is just incidental. In fact, it is to guard something."

"Guard something?"

Li Ming thought that Bokai Village was almost buried by an avalanche, and the villagers had all evacuated, so what else could be worth guarding.

"Yes, it originally belonged to Bokai Village. Unexpectedly, it suddenly reappeared in the excavation site of the old site of Bokai Village."

"Is it the black giant sword used by the ancestors of the giant dragons?"

"Yes, the village has been looking for him, but he never thought he would show up again due to an avalanche."

"No wonder the Bokai branch has lost contact."

After Li Ming's personal experience, the journey there was indeed difficult and dangerous.

But Pu Yan has been working part-time as a field investigator for a long time and wanders around the snow-capped mountains all day long. There is no reason why he should be blocked by the terrain.

It turned out that he was guarding the Black Giant Sword, so he couldn't leave.

"It's good that you are okay. Other branches and Longliyuan are very worried about your safety, so they want to use the team to visit and confirm as soon as possible."

"I've made everyone worried. So the team has other purposes for coming?"

Bolan was a little surprised.

"Yes, we are going to hunt the beasts."

"Huh? Now? Okay, let me take a look at the contract first."

Bo Lan calmed down and picked up the contract and looked at it carefully.

Although no problem could be found, reminders were given repeatedly about the current danger level in the area.

Not only was the observation information completely blank, but even the map had been rewritten.

The team has made up its mind and its attitude is very firm.

Helpless, Bolan could only press the branch seal.

"The president usually returns late at night, so he might be able to observe the giant beast first-hand, and it's getting late. I suggest the team go hunting tomorrow."

Bolan gave advice.

"Okay, can I go in and take a look at the mining cave inside the mountain?"

Li Ming asked.

"Of course you can, but now it's just as cold in the mine as in the ice cave."

Bolan said, wrapping the cotton clothes tightly.

"It's okay, I have a strong ability to withstand the cold."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he took the forging tools and entered the mine.

Riding on the mine cart, the exploration continues deeper and deeper, and the mineral deposits on both sides of the rock wall become increasingly rich.

After getting off the car, Li Ming stretched out his hand to touch the mineral veins.

Call ~
The charged sword that was removed ignited orange flames.

The face reflected in the bright light was full of smiles.

The next day, among the team making the floor in the guild hall, Midodo was the first to get up.

Seeing that the bed he had made for Li Ming had not changed at all, he immediately made a bad guess.

So I put on my cotton clothes and ran towards the mine.

After staring at the dark cave entrance where the cold wind was howling for a moment, Midoduo mustered up the courage and was about to enter when a figure walked out of the darkness.

"Are you here to wake me up for breakfast?"

"Huh~ I'm scared to death, meow."

Midoduo felt relieved when he saw Li Ming's expression remained normal.

"Don't worry about me, I do things very appropriately."

Passing by, the shape of the shield and ax on Li Ming's back looked a bit off.

Midoduo rubbed his eyes and asked tentatively: "Why does the Flame Shield Ax seem to have gained weight?"

"Have it?"

"The shield swelled into a lump, meow."

Midoduo was about to point out, when he suddenly felt a vigorous heat flow emerging from the shield, and the cat's claws immediately withdrew a distance.

"Don't worry, I tested it and it works fine."

In the guild hall, Pu Yan, the guild leader in cotton clothes, was carving meat from a snow deer.

Seeing that everyone in the team had arrived, he informed them of the information they had recently observed.

Since Collapse Dragon and Tyrant Dragon have no habit of hiding themselves, even if they are extremely far apart, they can sense each other's presence in advance.

It is not difficult to bypass their combat area.

On the contrary, it may be more dangerous to encounter monsters that migrate due to this.

As for the range of the giant beast, Pu Yan only observed it two days ago, so he gave a more accurate delineation.

After the team thanked them, they made final preparations for departure.

Pu Yan also came to the village, preparing to go out, and continued to guard the black giant sword.

"After surviving this time, Bokai Village will prosper again because of the reappearance of the Black Giant Sword, right?"

Li Ming asked.

"There will be no more Bokai Village."

Pu Yan sighed.

"why?"

"Bokai Village is no longer sustainable, and facts have proven that it is no longer suitable for us to live here. When this crisis subsides, I will submit an application to the guild to cancel this branch."

Pu Yan looked at the village half-covered in the snow, his eyes filled with sadness.

"It's a good thing. Without this place, we won't have to worry about anything that happens in the future."

Pu Yan seemed to be enlightening himself and expressed his helplessness.

The city-states, villages and towns have completely disappeared, and there is no need for hunters to protect them anymore.

When Li Ming heard it for the first time, he actually thought it made sense.

He wanted to persuade Pu Yan to be optimistic and positive, but when he thought that the ecology was inexplicably accelerating, even he felt a little depressed, let alone trying to persuade others.

The most important thing is that there is no hope at present.

"It would be great if there was a new continent suitable for everyone to live in. No need to complain. I wish the team can return soon."

"Well, I also wish you can complete your guarding mission safely."

The team then set off from Bokai Village and headed towards the snow-capped mountains.

According to the marked sighting area, we successfully arrived at the surrounding area after a day of traveling.

It only took half a day to set up camp in the cave and hunt for food.

However, due to the severe wind and snow, the team could only take shelter temporarily and wait until the next day to continue the operation.

Ouch~bang!Bang!
In his sleep, a distant and dull rumble echoed in his ears, followed by a tremor.

Li Ming woke up.

"Don't fight any more"

He rubbed his face in pain.

In order to provide early warning of the crisis, Li Ming loaded several detection fog balls even while sleeping.

He finally understood why the monsters on the ice field were so agitated by "singing".
