Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 424 The World is Beautiful (6.2k, 6.10 more)

Lingling and Bai Zhen made a pinky promise.

She had agreed with Bai Zhen in advance: "You won't disperse all the rain clouds and then say it's not raining everywhere, right?"

"Don't worry, although I can indeed disperse the rain clouds, I can't change the weather."

Bai Zhen could change the weather by sending out Rayquaza or putting on Rayquaza's armor, but doing so would disrupt the nearby ecology.

It's so hard to get rain in this volcanic area, but if it directly disperses the rain clouds, it might kill many lives.

"I will supervise the whole process. If you try to play tricks, you will lose."

After Bai Zhen and Ling Ling waited for a while, the hunters and warriors came back from bathing.

They washed the blood off their bodies and looked much more energetic.

After making preparations for departure, Bai Zhen asked these people how many of them were afraid of heights. Unexpectedly, the proportion reached over 90%. Bai Zhen had no choice but to let these thirteen people stay in Xie Mi's small spiritual world temporarily.

After this trip, the small spiritual world is no longer a secret and there is no need to hide it too much.

Lingling was the only one left outside.

Bai Zhen asked Ling Ling: "Are you afraid of heights?"

"I shouldn't be afraid of heights, right?" Lingling had never tried to fly in the sky, so she was not sure whether she was afraid of heights or not.

"If you are afraid of heights, you can go into the small spiritual world later."

Bai Zhen took out the Poké Ball and summoned Rayquaza.

A giant green dragon appeared in the sky above the dense forest, and Rayquaza slowly lowered its head beside Bai Zhen.

Bai Zhen jumped onto Rayquaza's head and reached out to pull Lingling up with him.

Lingling was finally able to touch Rayquaza. She gently touched the long horns on Rayquaza's head and felt them cool.

She asked curiously, "What's the name of your partner? Why didn't you send him out during the previous battle?"

Others may not know the existence of Rayquaza, but Lingling has seen it.

"His race is called Rayquaza. The reason why I didn't send him out in the previous battle is because he can't be completely considered my partner now. In other words, I am the successor he recognizes."

Lingling didn't quite understand: "Inheritor? What's that?"

Bai Zhen explained simply in words that Ling Ling could understand: "Let's put it this way, it's like the relationship between you and the Fire Spirit. Rayquaza is a god-like existence in this world, and I am his priest, so I can draw on his power."

In the Monster Hunter world, people usually regard ancient dragons as god-like beings.

For example, in Yanhuo Village, in ancient times the villagers of Yanhuo Village regarded the Wind Dragon and the Thunder Dragon as gods.

The level 100 Rayquaza is even more powerful than the Wind and Thunder Dragon, so it is no exaggeration to say that he is a god.

When Lingling heard that Rayquaza was a god, she immediately became reserved: "Is it really okay for me to sit on the head of a god like this?"

"It's okay. Rayquaza likes you very much."

Lingling can communicate with the fire spirits in nature. Such people are born with a little bit of divinity.

When Rayquaza faces Lingling and an ordinary person at the same time, Rayquaza will prioritize showing trust and love to Lingling.

When Lingling heard Bai Zhen's words, she was a little flattered. She knelt on Rayquaza's head, reached out and touched Rayquaza's tentacles, and sincerely thanked Rayquaza for his magnanimity and love for her.

Bai Zhen originally thought that Rayquaza would be dismissive.

Unexpectedly, this move made Lingling gain a lot of favor from Rayquaza.

Rayquaza growled in response.

Rayquaza's voice was transmitted to Bai Zhen's mind through Xie Mi's telepathy. Bai Zhen's expression froze when he heard it, and he asked in disbelief: "Is it true?!"

"What's wrong?" Lingling turned to look at Bai Zhen in surprise.

Bai Zhen held his forehead with his hand, a little speechless: "Just now Liekongzuo said that if you encounter trouble in the future, you can call him and he will help you once."

"Is it really possible?" Lingling was surprised and happy.

She hadn't done anything, so getting promises of help from a god-like being felt very unrealistic.

"It's true. He said so himself. People like them usually keep their word."

Rayquaza's promise made Bai Zhen realize that the kindness and affection shown by Rayquaza when he met Huoya and Shuiyun before was not just an isolated case.

"Could it be that Rayquaza is also a 'Miko-con'?"

Huoya and Shuiyun have the characteristic of resonance. The clothes they wore in Yanhuo Village were shrine maiden costumes. In the game, they resonated with the wind and thunder dragons respectively, and they were more like messengers of God. To some extent, they both possessed a high degree of divinity.

Lingling's situation is similar. Although she cannot resonate with the ancient dragons, she is favored by the Fire Elf King and can be said to be a messenger of God.

Rayquaza was very kind to all three of them.

In addition, over the past thousands of years, Rayquaza has maintained contact with the Meteor People, and each time it chooses a new girl as the successor.

Putting these clues together, Bai Zhen unexpectedly discovered the truth.

Lingling felt that she had done nothing to gain Rayquaza's kindness, and she felt a little guilty. She asked Bai Zhen: "If I want to make offerings, do I need to make any sacrifices?"

"I'll ask him about the sacrifices later. Let's get going now."

Bai Zhen patted Liekong's head and begged, "Let's go."

Rayquaza took off with the order.

Bai Zhen used his protective gear to activate the star crystal shield to block the oncoming raindrops from the sky.

Rayquaza took off smoothly. Lingling nervously grabbed onto Rayquaza's long horns. She looked down at the ground that was getting farther and farther away from her.

It would be a lie for her to say she wasn't nervous or scared, as this was her first time heading into the sky.

But she was more excited and expectant!

The sky seemed to her like a secret place that had never been explored.

When she was a child, she had dreamed of flying freely in the sky, and now her dream has finally come true.

How could she not be excited and look forward to it?
Looking down at the ground, flying to a height of 500 meters, you can roughly overlook the entire dense forest from the air.

This perspective was very new to her.

Rayquaza continued to climb higher, and when it reached 2000 meters, Lingling looked down at the ground and saw that the dense forest had become very small.

Because it was a rainy day, a lot of white fog accumulated in the dense forest. Looking down from the perspective of the sky, the emerald green forest seemed to be shrouded in white clouds. The scenery was very beautiful.

The flight altitude continued to rise, and when it reached 4000 meters, Lingling looked into the distance.

It was a rainy day and the light was very dim even though it was afternoon.

But this darkness does not give people a feeling of depression, but instead gives people a sense of tranquility and comfort.

It is difficult to see clearly what is on the ground from here. The view becomes extremely wide and the wind becomes extremely strong.

Lingling quietly admired the beautiful scenery in front of her. At that moment, Bai Zhen, who was sitting cross-legged beside her, asked, "Isn't the scenery in the sky nice?"

Lingling withdrew her gaze from the distance, and when she looked at Bai Zhen, she saw that Bai Zhen had a smiling expression on his face.

Lingling could also clearly feel the anticipation and excitement in Bai Zhen's emotions.

This kind of anticipation and excitement is not the anticipation of going to the sky, but the anticipation of sharing what you love with others and then hoping that they will like it too.

Bai Zhen loves the sky and the ocean, and he loves everything about nature.

He also hopes that other people can fall in love with this magnificent world like him.

Lingling snorted softly, and she admitted frankly: "Not bad, it's very beautiful. This is my first time flying in my life, and I think I will dream about this scene often in the future. But, is this really okay? You are about to lose to this princess and become her servant~"

"Haha, don't worry, we've only reached this point. There are more beautiful scenery that you haven't seen yet."

“A better view?”

"Yes, more beautiful scenery, hold on tight, we are going to ascend quickly."

Bai Zhen stood up and deployed the star crystal shield over a larger area to prevent himself and others from being struck by sudden lightning.

Bai Zhen and Rayquaza are in tune with each other.

Rayquaza's entire body was covered in colorful glow, and with the help of Shiroma, he directly mega-evolved!
The long golden beard fluttered in the strong wind, and thunder and lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.

Above their heads was a roaring thundercloud.

Lingling saw that Rayquaza was about to fly straight into the thunderstorm, and she exclaimed, "Are you trying to rush in?!!"

"That's right, we have to fly in! Hold on tight, if you fall, you will be struck into charcoal by lightning."

Lingling saw that Bai Zhen was not joking at all, so she panicked and grabbed the long horns of Super Rayquaza to avoid being thrown off.

Super Rayquaza rushed into the thundercloud at an extremely fast speed. Lightning as thick as buckets flashed from time to time in the discharging cloud. The surroundings were all filled with gray fog and the visibility was less than 5 meters.

The lightning and thunder beside her ears seemed to explode in her ears, and Lingling was so scared that she closed her eyes.

Is Bai Zhen crazy? ! ! He actually rushed into such a dangerous place. Where else could there be a more beautiful scenery? !
During these short twenty seconds, Lingling's mind was spinning frantically. She was wondering if she had offended Bai Zhen in some way that made Bai Zhen scare her in this way.

After thinking about it, I seem to have done a lot of things like this.

Lingling secretly decided that she would apologize properly once she got back to the ground safely.

Super Rayquaza was still climbing rapidly, and Lingling was so nervous that she was almost traumatized, when Bai Zhen suddenly shouted, "We're going to rush out!"

Hearing Bai Zhen's voice, Lingling boldly opened her eyes.

The gray clouds in front of my eyes only lasted for three or four seconds.

The moment Super Rayquaza rushed out of the clouds, countless rays of light poured into her eyes.

The thunder in my ears disappeared without a trace, as if I had entered a new world.

She had no words to describe what she saw.

There was not a single cloud in the clear blue sky. A few dozen meters below them was a sea of ​​white clouds that looked like waves, fish scales, and mountain peaks. Lingling stared at the dreamlike scene in front of her with her eyes wide open.

They seemed to have come to the abode of gods.

While Super Rayquaza slowed down, Bai Zhen opened the Water Drop Slate and Fire Ball Slate at the same time, ensuring that there was sufficient oxygen around them and raising the surrounding temperature to a suitable temperature.

Bai Zhen removed the star crystal shield, and a steady strong wind blew towards him.

In this extremely quiet 'world', Bai Zhen also said excitedly: "Welcome to the world of the stratosphere."

There is something powerful about being able to share something you love with others.

Bai Zhen really hopes that others can also like this "new world".

Lingling supported Liekong's long horns and slowly stood up.

She looked out at the endless blue sky and sea of ​​clouds.

Pata~ Pata~
Tears fell from the corners of Lingling's eyes, and Bai Zhen's smile froze on his face in an instant.

What the hell! ? ? I’m crying! ? ? ?

Did I say something I shouldn't have said?
Bai Zhen panicked instantly. He took out a piece of paper and asked, "Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?"

Taking the tissue from Bai Zhen's hand, Ling Ling turned around and wiped her tears with her back to Bai Zhen. She apologized, "I'm sorry, let me calm down for a moment."

When she finally calmed down, Lingling turned around and explained, "I'm sorry for showing you my gaffe. I cried because I was too happy."

Bai Zhen certainly knew that the princess was crying for joy, but he didn't expect that the princess would cry just by seeing the scenery above the clouds.

Fortunately, it was not his fault. Bai Zhen breathed a sigh of relief: "You really scared me. I thought I said something wrong. But don't get too excited now. There are better scenery to come."

Lingling rubbed her eyes and smiled brightly: "For you, this scenery may be just a common scene. But for me, it is definitely something worth remembering for a lifetime. When I was a child, I always imagined what was above the clouds, and I always imagined that I could go up to the sky to take a look one day. I didn't expect that it would come true in this way today."

Bai Zhen had heard Lingling mention her past.

Although she was born into a life of luxury as a princess of the kingdom, it was as if she had arrived in Rome when she was born.

But the price of such excellent conditions is freedom.

In Bai Zhen's view, Lingling is just a bird in a cage, yearning for the sky but unable to leave the cage that binds her.

Bai Zhen sighed helplessly in his heart.

The princess is already in this state. If I don’t satisfy her wishes, wouldn’t I be worse than an animal?
Bai Zhen patted Lingling's head and said, "If you want to express your feelings, you should wait until the evening. You don't have time to express your feelings now."

Bai Zhen changed his armor from Tailebagos armor to Rayquaza armor.

Bai Zhen asked Ling Ling: "Do you want to try flying on the clouds yourself?"

Lingling opened her eyes wide and asked eagerly, "Can you do it?"

"You can do it as long as you stay within 500 meters of Super Rayquaza."

As the overlord of the sky, Super Rayquaza's characteristic is called Delta Airflow.

He can calm all weather phenomena around him in a very short time. This ability relies on Super Rayquaza's influence on air currents.

As long as Super Rayquaza generates a continuous upward airflow, Lingling can fly slowly even if she does not have the ability to fly.

The only difficulty with this approach is that it may consume a lot of Super Rayquaza's physical strength.

This is a completely strenuous job, and Super Rayquaza may not be able to do it normally.

But because of Super Rayquaza's love for Lingling, he was willing to help.

"How am I supposed to fly? What if I fall?"

After the anticipation, Lingling naturally became concerned about her own safety. She came to the edge of her head and looked at the sea of ​​clouds below, with anxiety in her eyes.

Bai Zhen planned to let the princess have a good experience in the simplest and most brutal way.

He raised his foot and kicked the other person on the butt, kicking Lingling down directly.

Lingling only had time to scream before her body quickly fell towards the ground due to the gravity of the planet.

The intense feeling of weightlessness almost made her faint, but fortunately, after she fell for only two seconds, a strong updraft came from under her body and she was blown up directly.

At the same time, a layer of golden light particles appeared on the surface of her body.

That is the special substance that Super Rayquaza uses to control airflow - delta particles.

Lingling found herself suspended in mid-air, her beautiful eyes full of surprise: "I-I'm flying!?"

Bai Zhen also activated the ability of the armor, slowly controlling the airflow to fly to Lingling's side. Bai Zhen explained: "The particles on your body surface are called Delta particles. This is the power that Super Rayquaza temporarily lends to you. Try to use this light particle to control the airflow around you, so that you can fly freely in the sky."

The moment Bai Zhen finished speaking, Lingling quickly rushed towards the higher sky, then suddenly made a 90-degree turn and rushed to the right.

She kept making various sharp turns in the air, and not to mention the opponent, even Bai Zhen felt a little dizzy just watching her.

Just when Bai Zhen was about to rescue Lingling, she, who was originally flying around in the sky, suddenly seemed to have mastered the trick and slowly mastered the speed and posture of flying.

About a minute later, she was able to control the airflow easily. Her talent was incredible.

Lingling hovered in the air, she flew a perfect circle on the spot, and shouted excitedly: "I can fly!"

Bai Zhen couldn't help but applaud her talent: "Congratulations, you can fly freely now."

Lingling excitedly pointed at the thousand-meter-high cloud mountain in front of her, which was made entirely of white clouds, and challenged Bai Zhen, "Let's have a competition! Let's see who can fly to that cloud mountain first!"

"Sure, but don't cry if you lose."

"I'm not going to cry! I'll count to three, and then we'll go together! One, three!"

Lingling counted from 1 to 3 and ran away.

In the blink of an eye, she flew 30 meters.

This princess is cheating, and Bai Zhen also has the capital to cheat.

Wait until Lingling flies out for 10 seconds and about 300 meters.

Bai Zhen immediately activated another skill of the armor without saying a word - the speed of sound!
This skill allows Bai Zhen to reach twice the speed of sound in an instant, and can last for 10 seconds. It can be used up to three times at a time.

The turquoise protective gear instantly turned into gold.

While Lingling was still feeling smug, suddenly, there was a bang beside her.

In one second, Bai Zhen flew a very long distance of 340 meters! He surpassed his opponent!

Bai Zhen didn't stop, he continued to fly forward, and in ten seconds he flew 3400 meters.

Just when he turned around to look at Lingling who was two or three kilometers away, Super Rayquaza actually used super speed to flash past him.

Lingling's smug voice still lingered in the air: "I'll wait for you over there!"

Bai Zhen's eyes widened. This cheater actually found Super Rayquaza to cheat, and Super Rayquaza actually helped!
Bai Zhen quickly launched his second sonic opportunity to catch up.

Using the super-speed Super Rayquaza, the speed can easily exceed the speed of sound. In order to catch up, Bai Zhen also used water jets to increase the speed of Mach 1 to Mach 1.5.

The distance of ten kilometers was covered in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the Cloud Mountain was right in front of them, Lingling jumped over Super Rayquaza's head and rushed into the Cloud Mountain.

Bai Zhen finally arrived three or four seconds later.

Lingling controlled the airflow and poked her head out from the clouds and said with a smile: "I won~"

Bai Zhen was naturally not convinced at all and said: "Super Rayquaza was the one who carried you throughout the whole journey. If you acknowledge this kind of victory, then I have nothing to say."

"Huh~ You really like to talk nonsense~ Then why don't you tell me that you have that magical armor and the ability to speed up?"

Lingling snorted in dissatisfaction, and then she was attracted by a strangely shaped cloud in the sky. She pointed at it and said to Bai Zhen: "Let's go over there and take a look~"

After saying that, she controlled the airflow herself and soared into the sky.

She rolled up and down in the clouds, sometimes flying high into the sky towards the sun, sometimes falling with gravity, and sometimes rolling in the clouds.

At this moment, the soul felt the freedom she dreamed of.

She had never been happier.

After two hours of crazy play, Lingling felt very tired no matter how excited she was. She sat sideways on the head of Rayquaza, while Bai Zhen sat about two body lengths away from her.

Dusk comes early in winter. At 4:30 p.m., the golden sunset gradually sinks into the sea of ​​clouds.

The white sea of ​​clouds was painted with a touch of brilliant golden light.

Lingling quietly admired the most beautiful scenery in the world. Just looking at such scenery, her whole body and mind felt as if it was purified.

This afternoon was definitely the most unforgettable afternoon in her life.

It all seemed like a dream, so dreamy that it seemed like an illusion.

Lingling had an intoxicated smile on her face. She couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "If only time could stop at this moment"

"Stay at this moment? Then won't you be able to see other scenery?"

Although Bai Zhen also enjoyed the current tranquility and beauty, he did not want to just see this scene. Bai Zhen was looking forward to more encounters.

Lingling turned her head to look at Bai Zhen, who was two body lengths away from her.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled into Bai Zhen's eyes. There seemed to be a golden ocean in his eyes. Bai Zhen's eyes could no longer accommodate anything else.

Looking at Bai Zhen's profile, Lingling found it difficult to take her eyes away for a moment.

Bai Zhen turned his head and looked at Ling Ling. A brilliant smile appeared on his face and he said, "The world is very beautiful. There are many more beautiful places than this. It would be a pity to stop now."

At this moment, even the sunset can only become a background.

Lingling finally figured out what she was thinking.

"It turns out that feeling is not just a liking, but a real love."
