I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 153 Doomsday
The expedition city was filled with joy.

Even if Laoshanlong changes its direction of travel, it can be considered as a successful repulse.

However, because this change was too sudden, the branch decided to observe it for three days before evaluating the results of the operation.

Two days later, Lao Shanlong, who returned from the original route, left the mountain range where the expedition city was located.

Ground tremors have been greatly reduced.

Another day later, the branch officially announced that the battle to repel Laoshanlong was confirmed to be successful.

The other party is heading away from Dongdoruma, and the threat is completely eliminated.

The hunters poured into the guild hall and began to celebrate.

The pressure that had been building up for a long time was gone.

The food storage warehouse is open for free, and the grotto kitchen is bustling with cats.

Meals and wine are constantly served to the round table.

Amid the commotion, Chu Ying held her chin in one hand and gently shook the wine barrel glass on the table with the other.

"I have been practicing the control of the crossbow turret for so long, and suddenly I have no chance to use it. But it's okay, at least Dongdoruma is safe, and everyone no longer has to take risks. Come! Bubu! Cheers!"

"We won, meow."

Bubu raised the small wine barrel glasses and clinked them together.

"Next, it's time to go to East Doruma and conduct the selection of five-star hunters, right?"

Ni Shuang asked.

"Hiccup~ Yes."

Li Ming put the stick-shaped bone in his hand on the dinner plate, picked up a large piece of barbecue, and continued to take a big bite.

"Are you feeling better now?"

Upon hearing Ni Shuang's inquiry, Chuying Bubu Midoduo, who was at the same table, all silenced and looked over nervously.

Three days ago, when Li Ming learned that Lao Shanlong had returned the same way.

Not only did he not appear happy, but he looked extremely uneasy.

It wasn't until dinner time that things started to get better.

The team all thought it was caused by excessive pressure from participating in the Laoshanlong interception operation.

"Much better, maybe it's caused by not sleeping well for many days in a row. Thank you for your concern."

Hearing what Li Ming said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the real reason for being extremely uneasy, Li Ming speculated that it might have something to do with absorbing the ancient dragon blood of Lao Shanlong.

Although this resonance is not as strong as the loaded fog ball.

But at least it will be reflected in dreams, and it will really affect your emotions.

Fortunately, as the number of trips to the toilet increased, the anxiety began to gradually lessen.

Li Ming felt that it was the ancient dragon's blood that was gradually expelled from the body as it circulated in the body, which made the situation better.

As for the reason why Lao Shanlong is so afraid, most people in this world don't know.

Li Ming was able to glean some possibilities from the game.

That was the influence of the black dragon. He had deeply felt the fear brought by that pressure, which made him more convinced of this speculation.

The only thing that is a bit puzzling is that there are actually two sources of terror, and they are located in different directions.

After having enough wine and food, Li Ming had a good sleep.

Early the next morning, after receiving the evaluation and reward for the large-scale joint hunting at the branch, the team took a rail car and set off for East Doruma.

A large number of rocks on the railway track have not been cleared, and some sections have even collapsed, making the journey not smooth.

Fortunately, many hunters on the car were familiar with the cleanup work and were able to help with repairs while moving forward.

One day later, when the rail car successfully drove out of the expedition city, its traveling speed increased significantly.

The rock walls blocking everything on both sides turned into blue sky grassland.

This is a feeling of sudden enlightenment for the hunters who have been deep in the walled city for a long time.

Li Ming turned his head and looked outside the car, admiring the flourishing scenery he had not seen for a long time.

At the junction of heaven and earth in the distance, a double shadow suddenly appeared, becoming blurred in the mist.

hum ~ hum ~
Things in his eyes trembled slightly at high speed for a moment, and then everything returned to normal.

Li Ming, who was alert, looked at the other people in the car. Everyone was talking and laughing, pointing to the horizon and into the distance, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

It's been four days, it should be cleared.

Li Ming was a little confused, but he was the only one who knew best about his own situation.

Two nights later, the rail car arrived in front of the towering city wall.

Fireworks of various colors are blooming over the city-state side.

Apparently the news that Lao Shanlong had been defeated had been sent back, and celebrations were taking place in the city.

Get off the bus and enter the city.

The prosperous streets were brightly lit, and everyone had joy on their faces.

This is not only a rare victory, but at least for a long time in the future, the city will not need to worry about safety.

Next to the entrance to the puppet shop that divides the city wall, the door opens.

Sophia, who was wearing pajamas, was a little surprised to see the team visiting.

Inviting the three people and two cats into the store, Sophia heated tea for everyone and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect it, Chuying, how long has passed and you have become a five-star hunter."

"Not yet, teacher. We won't know the exact news until we go to the guild tomorrow to participate in the selection."

Chu Ying lowered her head and said with some embarrassment.

"The hunting resume of the four kings of the team is very impressive, and with the evaluation of successfully repelling the Laoshan dragon, it should be relatively stable. As a teacher, I should continue to work hard. I originally wanted to wait until the Laoshan dragon is approaching to show off my skills. Yes, I didn’t expect it to turn around at the Expedition City Walled City.”

"So it turns out that Senior Sophia is not optimistic about the expedition to the stronghold?"

Li Ming said with some surprise.

"The Great Elder didn't go there, and the six-star hunters didn't dispatch either. That place was obviously not the place where the decisive battle was expected by the guild. Speaking of which, they didn't even try to attack the city wall this time. It's really incomprehensible. I hope to wait until the scholar team arrives. In the future, we can investigate and find out something."

Sophia gave her opinion.

"I speculate that Laoshanlong may be afraid of something and escape."

"Would Laoshanlong be afraid of fleeing? This statement is quite novel, but it is also consistent with one of the two major reasons for migration."

"What's the other one?"

Li Ming asked curiously.

"The other one is relatively rare among monsters and mostly occurs in areas where the ecology has completely collapsed. That is to explore unknown areas in order to find a more suitable living environment."

"When it comes to humans, it means exploring a new home, right?"

Ni Shuang asked.

"Yes, this giant hunter has a very quick mind."

Sophia agreed.

After assigning rooms and packing bags, Mi Duoduo saw that it was getting late, so he took the initiative to come over and chatted to help Li Ming fall asleep.

Noticing that no one was in the house, he heard shouting coming from the roof above, so he ran to investigate.

Under the moonlight, Li Ming, who was on the terrace, was holding a sword, shield and axe, practicing basic slashing moves.

Mido was a little surprised. In the past, Li Ming would have a training plan when he was in the wild.

But it was already midnight, not to mention that I would go to the headquarters tomorrow to participate in the five-star selection, so I tried to dissuade him.

"Huhu~ Is it so late already? I feel like I've only been practicing for a while."

Panting, Li Ming wiped off his sweat and returned to the house with Mido Duo.

Before he could sit down, the room was shaking at high speed, and shadows flashed around the edges of all objects.

The back of Midoduo's entire bed became blurry.

An urgent and suffocating feeling came over me.

"You make the bed first, Mi Duoduo, and I'll go practice for a while."

"Ah? You still want to go to Meow?"

After Li Ming finished speaking, he returned to the terrace of the puppet shop and slashed dozens of times with all his strength as if to vent his anger. Only then did the urgency of the approaching danger ease.

Something must be wrong!But what is the problem?
Li Ming felt inexplicably restless in his heart.

Although it is not as strong as the uneasiness shared by Lao Shanlong, the problem is that this restlessness continues to intensify.

"Disappear!"

Li Ming roared angrily and began to rapidly consume his energy by increasing the frequency of his slashes.

The urgent restlessness has finally been greatly relieved.When I dragged my exhausted body back to the house, it was almost early morning.

Puff~Puff~
The drowsy venom sprayed on his face, and Li Ming fell directly to sleep.

when!
A bell rang.

Li Ming suddenly opened his eyes. Sunlight filtered through the window and the sky was bright.

when!when!when!
The insect bell of the Pavilion Mantis rang eight times in succession and then stopped.

Li Ming stretched his waist, got up and put on his armor.

"Are you feeling better, nya?"

Midoduo asked worriedly.

After all, judging from yesterday's performance, there is obviously something wrong with Li Ming's condition.

"much better."

Although it is uncomfortable when restlessness strikes, at least there are ways to control it.

The method is the physical exertion caused by heavy training.

But Li Ming felt that after being promoted to a five-star hunter, he must first find and eliminate the source of the problem.

Otherwise, hunting would not be possible at all in this state.

In the lobby of the guild headquarters, after the team submitted all the information, they were invited to wait in the reception room of the database on the second floor.

Not long after, a receptionist came with a small stack of hunting files to communicate with the team for confirmation.

The other party said that judging from the hunting resume, it would not be a big problem for all the ruthless team to be promoted to five-star hunters. They only need to wait for about two days for the review process.

The corresponding treatment of five-star hunters was also introduced.

In addition to a large number of convenient and favorable conditions, Li Ming was interested in being able to independently certify hunting contracts in the wild.

"Does this mean that after a successful hunt, certification by a field investigator is no longer required?"

"Yes, but for the needs of carcass transportation and ecological intelligence updates, you can still communicate with the local investigators. In addition, if you are interested in conducting certification assessment training, after passing the assessment, you can also help other hunter teams to carry out certification contracts. , if you are interested in garrisoning the guild branch, the guild also has relevant training and assignments."

The female receptionist introduced.

It seems that five-star hunters have more choices in hunting and career planning.

"The documents in the database can also be borrowed at any time, right?"

Ni Shuang pointed to the heavy iron door guarded by knights.

“Most of them are viewable.”

"Do you have any ecological information about the skeleton dragon?"

"Well that's a small part."

"Ok."

Ni Shuang sighed helplessly after hearing this.

"While you are waiting for the review, you can do more research on the future direction of the hunter's career. I'll take my leave now."

The team walked out of the gate of the guild headquarters and descended the spacious stone steps.

On the other side, a large number of young people lined up in a long queue, preparing to participate in the hunter admission assessment.

Perhaps it was the confidence and encouragement brought by Lao Shanlong's successful defeat that led to the extraordinarily large number of people running for election today.

Chuying wanted to go back to the puppet shop and tell Sophia the result as soon as possible.

Ni Shuang wants to go to the city's workshop to create decorations.

Because Midoduo has never forgotten the grilled fish outside the training ground.

Li Ming decided to take him to eat.

The three members of the team said goodbye.

"Boss, here are twenty pieces of spicy grilled fish."

Seeing how heroic Li Ming was, the boss smiled, accepted the money, and got busy.

Beside the circular fountain, a man and a cat were sitting on a bench, eating spicy grilled fish.

The sky is blue, with a few white clouds floating in the air.

Looking at the dense flow of people passing by, Li Ming suddenly felt like he was in a commercial street, and his mood became comfortable.

hum ~ hum ~
The shaking returned, this time accompanied by a slight shudder.

Li Ming's mood immediately turned restless.

Do you still have to force me to exhaust my energy?
"Uh, I can't eat any more, nya."

Midoduo patted his bulging belly and handed out the grilled fish.

Realizing that Li Ming had not married yet, he turned around to check.

"What's wrong with you, meow!"

"It's not a big problem, I just have to go back to the puppet shop first."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he grabbed the sword and shield ax standing next to him.

At this time, the puppet store, which was located in a remote area and had extremely low housing prices, was actually an excellent training place.

"Your eyes are all bloodshot, it seems..."

Midoduo hesitated to speak.

"Like what?"

"The monster Meow was greatly stimulated."

After hearing Midoduo's description, Li Ming stood up and sat back down.

Yes, uneasiness and anxiety are the monster's warning responses to approaching threats.

It's like a dog barking before an earthquake, but the ancient dragon's blood should have been sorted out for a long time.
Could it be the influence of another induction?

A ring of fog balls appears, slowly floating around.

Li Ming has been suffering from empathy recently, and of course it is impossible to load any sentient fog balls.

For example, if you load the big strange bird's [supersensory hearing] in the expedition city, let alone sleep.

If you listen to the sound for two or three days under the stimulation of shock and rumbling, you may go crazy.

However, as the loading time of the sensory fog ball increases, the body continues to adapt during use.

This kind of perception ability will be slightly strengthened to some extent, but the amplitude is still relatively low.

Holding up [Supersensory Hearing], Li Ming was planning to try loading it to see if there was a problem with auditory perception.

But the possibility he thought of made him stop.

That is, the slight improvement in perception brought about by the loading time can have such a big impact.

Can you bear the instantaneous increase in the level of the loaded fog ball?

Li Ming whispered softly as he looked down at the small tentacles in the hole that were eager to try.

"If something goes wrong, it's up to you to get the ball out."

The small tentacles shook quickly and gently, as if to express that Li Ming was reassured and bold to try.

"Hey!"

When [Supersensory Hearing] is plugged in, the noisy crowds of people become clearer. Other than that, there is no strong stimulation.

Not [supersensory hearing]?Could it be Pterodactyl's [Ancient Dragon Trajectory Exploration]?
No, this kind of perception is quite gentle. Even when facing Tian Huilong, it didn't make me overly agitated.

Li Ming tried again, but there was still no unnecessary response.

The tickling bird's [Incubation Nest Exploration], the giant bee's [Injection Point Detection].
This is simply impossible! This is it!

At this time, Li Ming saw the [Resonance Detonation] that was constantly trembling slightly and appearing extremely unstable.

This is the fog ball of the Serpentisaurus, with the ability to sense amplitude.
Li Ming picked it up and stuffed it into his chest.

呲呲呲! ! !
Strong high-frequency tremors seemed to turn the world upside down.

Layer after layer of shock waves spread in a manner similar to a radar waveform.

Rolling across the ground, there is a steady stream.

The small tentacles worked together to grab the [Resonance Detonation] and throw it out.

Li Ming gasped for breath for a long time. After the strong stimulation subsided, he looked towards the direction of the ring shock wave.

"Midodo, if you leave the city from here, it will be the sea, right?"

"Yes meow are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but this continent might be in trouble."
