I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 166
The warm sunlight comes into the house through the gaps in the curtains.

Li Ming opened his eyes and saw that the little tentacles who had been practicing all night were still playing with the fog balls.

After saying that he should work hard, he changed his clothes and went to have breakfast.

Camp canteen.

Chuying saw that Li Ming's eyes were always turned upwards, so she followed suit, but after looking for a long time, she found nothing.

"Li Ming, are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Chuying asked curiously.

"It's okay, I just haven't been resting well lately."

Li Ming no longer observed the training of the tentacles, but lowered his head to eat.

bang~ bang~
A large number of fog balls continue to fall on the table, bounce and collide.

Obviously, replacing six fog balls in one load is a big challenge for tentacles who are just starting to practice.

Li Ming didn't know how to guide them at this point, so he could only let them explore on their own.

The good news is that the tentacles have no idea what fatigue is and can practice continuously throughout the day.

It makes Li Ming a little dazzled, which is a small shortcoming.

After breakfast, the next step is to go to the branch to check if there is a suitable contract.

In order to prevent Marudori from being frightened and agitated, Li Ming deliberately unloaded the fog ball and put on a large boar king hood at the same time.

At this time, when they passed the truck again, the Marutori were indeed not so afraid.

When we arrived at the city gate, we happened to catch up with instructor Ni Tai driving out of the city.

There were two other four-star hunters sitting in the front room of the sealed carriage.

From the staffing point of view, Li Ming felt that the things loaded on the car were definitely not simple.

bang~ bang~
The soft falling sound of fog balls sounded densely.

Generally, only if there is a major mistake in tentacle coordination, will a large number of fog balls break away and fall.

Li Ming lowered his head to check. The small black and purple tentacles entrenched on one side of the fog ball hole had stopped practicing.

All facing the direction of the truck, trying to swing forward.

"Instructor Ni Tai!"

Damn, the truck stopped suddenly.

"It's Li Ming, what's the matter?"

"I want to ask, what's in the car?"

"These are the crystals of the Mad Dragon Virus stored in the guild's warehouse. They were originally used to study alchemy to reshape the protective stones. Unfortunately, before the research results were achieved, the birthplace of the technology, Sinard Village, disappeared."

"So are you going to transport it now?"

Li Ming understood why the black and purple tentacles were so excited.

I also had a guess as to the reason for transporting the materials.

"Improper storage like this can easily lead to dangerous materials, and the fortress is being intensively cleared. There is no similar material in Nuanyangyang Camp, right?"

Ni Tai asked cautiously.

"Of course not. What dangerous materials can a group of cats produce? Producing a few small bomb barrels is already the limit of the camp."

Li Ming said calmly.

"That makes sense, I'll get busy first."

The truck gradually moved away, feeling that it was out of reach, and the small black and purple tentacles could only retract unable to do so.

"Can such dangerous material be approached at will?"

The black and purple tentacles slowly drooped down, as if they had lost their vitality.

"At the very least, we have to wait. There will be no one around before we go."

Li Ming moved his pink tentacles and guided a rodent to attach to the roof of the carriage.

At noon, Li Ming followed the trail and arrived at a cave in the forest.

When we reached the end, we couldn't find any trace of human placement of any items.

It wasn't until I saw the traces of landfill on the ground and the small black and purple tentacles poking downwards for guidance that I realized that the Mad Dragon Crystal had been buried.

"Let me analyze it first."

The impatient little black and purple tentacles immediately calmed down.

I don’t have the fog balls related to the Black Eclipse Dragon. Will I be unable to withstand it?
Li Ming had doubts in his heart.

However, I thought that the Mad Dragon Virus was permanently resident in the body and manifested itself.

It was also used in the research and development of stone protection alchemy. If you just try to get in touch with it, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

If you can provide an increase to the small black and purple tentacles, it will be a huge profit.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Ming started digging with his bare hands.

Ten minutes later, a metal box was revealed.

"There are mad dragon crystals buried deep enough. Please do not open them. Feiye Fortress Guild Branch. Such a frank description is because I am afraid that after being dug out, it will be disposed of as a treasure."

Use a hunter's knife to pry open the box, and there is a hardwood box inside.

Pry it open again, revealing three strips wrapped in thick black cloth.

When the fabric is untied, flaky black-purple crystals are revealed.

The small black and purple tentacles rubbed each other, looking eager to try.

Li Ming picked up the crystal and moved towards the tentacle.

swoosh~
A rich black and purple aura emerged.

Dudu!

The first tentacle it touched, like Mario after eating a mushroom, instantly expanded and became larger.

puff~
The crystals shattered and turned into residue.

Li Ming blinked and felt a little comfortable.

Bang!Bang!
At this time, the tentacle that became longer and thicker curled up around a fog ball and began to move rapidly with its tip.

The entire process does not require any assistance from other tentacles.

It's so powerful, how can it absorb the remaining two pieces?

To be cautious, Li Ming installed a fog detection ball and sensed it, hoping to explore it from other levels.

The Winged Serpent Dragon's [Ancient Dragon Trajectory Exploration] detected a slight scent of an ancient dragon in a cloth bag.

After curiously dismantling the cloth, the cologne aura instantly became stronger, but the black and purple crystals inside were no different.

As his fingers moved, a striking white light appeared.

It was a pure white dragon scale pressed under the crystal.

Li Ming pinched it with two fingers and lifted it up.

The small black and purple tentacles were extremely excited and kept beating the dragon scales.

However, since it has no entity, it can only pass through.

Are these the scales of the Sky Dragon? It’s just that little bit, and it’s probably not enough to teach cats how to be brave.

It must have been accidentally incorporated during storage.

Li Ming put it into his pocket.

Confirm that there is nothing wrong with the remaining two pieces of Mad Dragon Crystal.

Li Ming once again asked the black and purple tentacles to absorb it, and two more large black and purple tentacles appeared immediately.

Each of them can independently support and tie a fog ball.

Li Ming felt that with more practice and the cooperation of the other tentacles, it shouldn't be a problem to quickly switch between four balls.

I originally wanted to seek a breakthrough in proficiency and tacit cooperation.

Unexpectedly, as long as the tentacle is big enough, a single tentacle can independently complete the ball changing operation.

After Li Ming sighed, he put the remaining debris of the crystal into the box and put it back into the pit.

After confirming that nothing was missing around the area, the landfill was carried out again.

Apart from the overall sluggishness of the pink tentacles, there were no adverse reactions.

Li Ming returned to Feiye Fortress and came to the guild branch.

"Hello Li Ming, welcome to the guild branch."

Shuiyun greeted.

After confirming that the other party was not staring at the fog ball flying in front of him, Li Ming walked in and explained his purpose. "It hasn't been long since the team returned. Do you want to go hunting now?"

"Yes, we have had enough rest and are in good condition."

"What a hard-working team. Okay, do you have a clear goal?"

"As long as it's a five-star monster, it's basically fine. The closer the distance, the better, and the higher the degree of emergency, the better. If it has a weak thunder attribute, that's even better."

"Well, it is very difficult to meet the demand. Although the total number of contracts has increased rapidly, the number of five-star contracts recognized by the guild has been decreasing, and many backlogged contracts have even been cancelled."

Shuiyun looked a little embarrassed.

Is this to reduce hunter casualties and tighten the hunting scope?
"How about relaxing the conditions slightly?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"Then there are more options. There are the Thunder Dragon of Sand Plains, the Sea Dragon of Gudao, and the Snow Ghost Beast of Frozen Islands. The urgency level is higher, but they are a bit far away."

"The Snow Ghost Beast is pretty good. The one I turned over just now, what kind of contract is it with the purple mark?"

"This is the Fire Dragon's, the emergency contract of Bernard Village. It has been confirmed that it is an individual who has entered madness. I personally do not recommend it very much."

"Can every mad individual be able to dig out the mad dragon crystals from their body?"

Li Ming asked.

"Yes, but that kind of material has not been extracted and applied by anyone for many years."

Although the male fire dragon has the weakest dragon attribute, its thunder attribute is also quite effective.

The only difficult thing is that the other party's disease has entered the stage of madness.

It's obviously not worth hunting just to increase the tentacles.

But coupled with the fire attribute increase and the fog ball related to the dragon disease, it is still quite attractive.

"I'll go back and discuss it with the team members. Will it be picked up by other hunters?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"It's unlikely. No one is very willing to face the mad dragon individual at the moment."

"Well."

During dinner, the team members gathered together and Li Ming revealed the hunting plan.

"Becoming a mad individual? It feels like a big challenge."

Ni Shuang fell into thinking.

"I'm just about to try out the power of the Wang Pao Thunder Crossbow. If it's confirmed, Bubu and I will start preparing ammunition."

Chuying, whose face was pale, looked fearless.

"Okay, it just so happens that I also want to go back to Bernard Village to have a look."

Ni Shuang sighed.

It seemed like the chances of returning there were running out.

After finalizing the selection, Li Ming took over the contract early the next morning.

Then it was time to seize the time and conduct ultra-high-intensity strength training with Brother Xiong.

[Thunder Bug Symbiosis] combined with [Continuous Super Charged State], the strengthening effect on the body is immediately highlighted.

At first, Li Ming even thought that it was Brother Xiong's increasing size that caused his movements to become slower. In fact, his overall movements became faster.

Two days later, the small team of three-box trucks hit the road.

I rushed to the Bernard Village branch on the 9th day and learned that the contract must be personally authenticated by the principal and principal Vegasha before it can take effect.

So the team came to the dean's office at the Longliyuan headquarters.

After waiting in front of the door for a long time, I finally saw the dean himself.

Compared to last time, Vegasha, who was already old, looked even more haggard now, and her short figure seemed to be overwhelmed by the pile of documents around her.

As for the reason, the members of the ruthless team all know it.

"Everyone, please take a seat. What can I do?"

Vegasa, who was writing, did not raise her eyes.

"We are a ruthless team, and this time we are here to authenticate a contract."

"The ruthless team. Is it the ruthless team that defeated Lan Long?"

Vegasa raised her head sharply, her tone immediately becoming eager.

"Yes."

"I read the hunting report. It was an incredible battle. I didn't expect that a group of young hunters could achieve such feats. You are here this time."

Vegasa took the contract handed over by Li Ming.

"It is indeed this contract. If it were another team, they wouldn't have accepted it so quickly."

Vegas sighed.

"There isn't much information above, can you tell me the details?"

"We don't have much information here. We just observed and confirmed that the mad individual of the male fire dragon is moving in the outer area of ​​the ancient forest. If it were in the past, we would just be as prepared as possible. Now, we must try to hunt. Otherwise, once it becomes a source of disease and spreads around, it is likely to threaten the safety of the village."

Li Ming saw that this was a choice made to prevent multiple ecological disasters while superimposing them on the surrounding areas.

"Then please authenticate."

"You are so courageous. The individual mad dragons are very ferocious. To be honest, you feel a little too young to me. I thought it would be the teams that specialize in hunting individual mad dragons to respond to the call. Be careful."

The seal falls and the contract authentication is completed.

"By the way, I heard that you are very close to Dewen. He is not in good condition recently. Let's go and visit him."

"Ok."

The team split up.

Chuying Bubu went to the headquarters workshop to modify the Wang Pao Lei Crossbow.

Ni Shuang just wanted to walk around the village and visit people he knew well in the past.

Li Ming and Mi Duoduo came to the sample warehouse retrieval room and wanted to visit Senior Dewen before going on a hunting trip.

Opening the door, the gloomy scene of the first meeting in the house emerged again.

The curtains were closed and papers were everywhere.

"Dewen, cheer up, meow."

Beside the wheelchair, Eluka was nudging Devon's arm.

The other party just sat slumped in the wheelchair with a pale face, without any reaction.

Seeing someone entering the house, Eluka quickly ran over to greet them.

"Sorry, meow, after Dewen met with the president not long ago, he suddenly became like this. It must be her who said something that irritated Dewen."

Eluka said angrily.

"This can be regarded as the dean's recognition of Dewen's ability."

Li Ming persuaded to explain.

“Uh, is it approval, meow?
Eluka felt that she seemed to have wrongly blamed the dean.

"Is there any way you can get Dewen back on his feet, meow?"

"I'll try ahem, I want to hunt the Sky Comet Dragon!"

Dewen's eyes were still dull.

"That crisis was actually something I guessed, but I can't confirm it yet."

"what?"

Dewen's eyes trembled, and a voice of dry surprise sounded.

Eluka's eyes widened.

"Yes, how could a timid guild come to this completely unconventional inference? Eluka is going to get something to eat. I'm hungry."

"Okay meow!"

Seeing that her condition suddenly improved, Eluka rushed out.

Dewen turned the wheelchair on his own and opened the curtains.

"The shield ax made by black block is considered a failure. I haven't been in good condition recently, so I didn't write to inform you."

"I just want to give it a try. Can you tell me the specific situation?"

"After it is once formed, it will be accompanied by severe traces of rust, burning, and drilling. In short, any process or any material cannot form a correct embedded increase, even if it is a simple ore, this material does not seem to accept anything except The integration of materials other than one's own means that neither the sharpness nor the stimulation of dragon attributes can reach the level that can be used normally. Perhaps only more materials of the same kind can be processed."

Devon informed.
