I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Roar------!"

With repeated blows from the Endless Hammer Modified, the thorns on the twisted carapace on the back of the Glaive were shattered by the power of the continuous explosions.

The explosion caused Zhanlong to lose his balance and fall to the ground, struggling desperately to get up. Yuhaka then raised the Endless Hammer Modified and smashed it hard into Zhanlong's thigh.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

As the sound of metal clanging rang out, the impact was inside the carapace, and a series of explosions immediately blasted open the hard carapace on the dragon's thigh, revealing the bright red, mangled flesh inside.

"Roar------!"

A sharp, intense pain erupted in his leg, causing Zhanlong to let out a scream. Then, Zhanlong struggled to his feet, opened his blood-red maw, and lunged at Yuhaka.

"OwO!"

However, in its second form, Yuhaka is small and only needs to jump back two steps to easily dodge the bite of the dragon's big mouth, and also deliver a hard blow to the dragon's face.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

A series of explosions suddenly ripped open Zhanlong's face, making him see stars and fall to the ground again. Then, like a salted fish, he struggled to get up.

Zelus watched as Yuhaka repeated his old trick, launching a blast attack on the other thigh of the dragon.

"This is where the first and second forms are useful. While the third form's combat power surpasses the first two forms, the first and second forms are better in terms of skill."

As she spoke, Zelus added a record to her log of Yuhaka using weapons to fight the enemy.

Zelus watched on the big screen as Yhwach skillfully used the Endless Hammer Mod to deal with the Dragon Slayer and said:

"If it's in its third form, it's not impossible to deal with Zergling, but it will come at a terrible price. After all, Zergling's tail blade greatsword is no joke."

"The most important point is that even if Yuhaka were to transform into her third form and try to deal with the Dragon Slayer, her current biological essence would be no match for this sentient greatsword."

"However, in his first and second forms, Yhaka can now easily use the Endless Hammer made by intelligent races, which is a great advantage and makes up for the disadvantages of his first and second forms."

Zelus looked at Yuhaka, who was shouting "Big bad dragon! Burn Yuyu Sweet Fruit!" and relentlessly retaliating against the dragon, and said with some confusion:

"Well... although Yuhaka is very smart, is there any way to trick this little guy into learning some combat techniques?"

This plan is very important. It would be troublesome if we encountered a difficult enemy when we couldn't use the third form in a narrow place.

Boom!

With the final explosion, Zhanlong's head fell heavily to the ground, its tongue lolling out, while its body lay motionless.

"OwO?"

Seeing the Dragon Slayer lying motionless and not breathing, Yuhaka blinked his big eyes, squatted down, and poked the Dragon Slayer's butt with his Endless Hammer.

After Eyjafjalla discovered that Glavenus was indeed dead, it jumped onto Glavenus's body as if to say, "I've received a new Pokémon!" Zellus, who was standing nearby, even took a picture of Eyjafjalla.

Then Yuhaka arrived at Zelus's location, slapped the system panel, and shouted:

"Pan! The hole is open!"

Zelu glanced at the Dragon Slayer, whose body reeked of gunpowder, and said to Yuhaka:

"Don't eat this meat that's been fried like this, it smells awful."

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Yuhaka was also stunned for a moment before running over to the Dragon Slayer and sniffing it. After smelling an unpleasant gunpowder odor, Yuhaka immediately lost interest in the Dragon Slayer meat.

Seeing Yuhaka pouting and looking unhappy, Zelus probably guessed what was wrong.

After fighting for so long, it's no wonder Yuhaka is furious that he can't eat such a big piece of meat.

Chapter 70 [Two Dragon Slayers Were Slain]

"Oh dear... what is this all about..."

Looking at the motionless corpse of the dragon-slaying beast lying on the ground with a troubled expression, Max said this.

Maxie originally wanted to hunt dragons for fun, but she didn't expect that her hunting target would be hunted by other beings.

"Sniff, I see. So the explosion I heard today came from here..."

Max said, sniffing the thick smell of gunpowder in the air. At first, Max wasn't very interested in the explosion, but the marks on the ground and the corpse of the dragon-slaying beast piqued his interest.

"Hmph... Although there is the smell of gunpowder from the explosion, there are no traces of the explosion on the ground."

As Max said, although the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder from the explosion, no traces of the explosion were found on the ground.

For example, after a large explosive barrel explodes, it will leave traces of the explosion and some barrel fragments on the ground. Even the explosive slime of a broken dragon will leave some traces of inactive explosive slime after the explosion. But here, Maxie didn't see any trace of the explosion... no, it should be said that she didn't see any trace of the explosion in the surrounding environment.

Max looked at the dark, splattered remains of the dragon-slaying corpse lying on the ground and said with a hint of interest:

"Hey... This is interesting. Are explosion marks only found on the corpse of the dragon-slaying beast? ... The situation here is much more complicated than I imagined."

Maxie stroked the charred flesh and blood exposed by the blasted carapace on the dragon's corpse and said:

"The explosion actually occurred inside the shell? This is the first time I've ever seen something like this."

Max looked at the dragon-slaying corpse, its entire body covered in explosion marks, and wondered:

Who did this? Or rather, what monster did it? And why is it here in the Ancient Forest?

Max was very curious about these questions, but based on the situation at the scene, Max couldn't tell what had killed the dragon. However, the fact that her prey had been stolen by someone else for the first time excited Max, and she wanted to find that person to have a match with.

Of course, duels and contests between hunters are not about hunters facing each other with swords, but about hunting monsters, not the sword duels you might imagine.

"Well... let's hand over the Dragon Slayer's corpse to the Hunter's Guild staff for inspection now."

As he spoke, Max pulled a signal gun from his waist pouch, pointed it at the sky, and pulled the trigger. With a "bang," a plume of white smoke shot into the sky like a rocket and then exploded with a bang, just like fireworks.

Soon, Maxie spotted the Hunter Rescue Team's hot air balloon observation station slowly approaching in the distance. Maxie grinned wickedly and said:

"Now it's time to pick up my dear little Milia! Yay!"

Meanwhile, in Water Cave Village, Milia sneezed violently.

.....................

At the Hunter's Guild in the town of Scylla.

Secretary Messiah pushed open the door to the guild master's office and said to the guild master:

"Guild Master, the Hunter Rescue Team has reported that their dragon-slaying attempt has failed."

Upon hearing Messiah's words, the Hunter's Guild Master choked on his tea. Looking flustered, he shouted at Messiah:

"How is this possible?! That hunter named Maxie can even defeat a Golden Lion, a creature that can rival Elder Dragons! How could he possibly fail at defeating a mere dragon?!"

Seeing the flustered Hunter's Guild Master, Messiah sighed, adjusted her glasses, and said to him:

"President, please calm down. Although the subjugation of Maxi failed, the dragon slayer was indeed defeated."

Upon hearing this news, the Hunter's Guild Master paused for a moment, then, as if realizing something, looked at his secretary, Messiah, with some confusion and said:

"Dragon Slayer was defeated by other hunters?"

Messiah thought for a moment and then said to the Hunter's Guild Master:

"The specific reason is still unknown, but the dragon that attacked Miss Milia was indeed defeated. However, the one who defeated it was not Miss Maxie. We will only know the details when the dragon's body is brought over."

Just as the Hunter's Guild Master breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news of the Dragon Slayer's defeat, Messiah's next message made his heart leap into his throat again.

"In addition, the hunter rescue team also spotted the Thunder Wolf Dragon, but it was repelled by Miss Maxie."

Upon hearing this news, the Hunter's Guild Master looked at the letter handed to him by Secretary Messiah with a troubled expression and said:

"Isn't the Thunder Wolf Dragon supposed to live in the area over there in the valley? Why is it appearing around the town of Scylla? Could it have migrated?"

Zinogre has always been a social fanged wyvern. If it really is migrating, then Zinogre could be found randomly in various hunting areas of the Ancient Forest around Scylla Town, and there might even be several Zinogres wandering in together.

"That'll be really troublesome then..."

Because Zinogre are social creatures, and their leader is the legendary Zinogre known as the "Golden Thunder God," it would be very troublesome if they migrated and that terrifying being with golden lightning followed them. Basically, no hunter other than G-rank or higher could stand up to them.

Just as the Hunter's Guild Master was considering requesting support from the Hunter's Guild headquarters, a female mascot peeked out and looked at the Hunter's Guild Master and his secretary, Messiah, saying:

"Guild Master, Miss Messiah, the hunter who was tracking the Dragon Slayer last time successfully defeated it near the Misty Swamp!"

"What did you say?! That dragon slayer isn't the same one that Miss Maxie fought?!"

Upon hearing the signboard girl's words, the Hunter's Guild Master slammed his hands on the table and stood up, looking at her with a shocked expression. Startled by the Hunter's Guild Master's words, the signboard girl panicked and hurriedly said:

"Huh? Huh?! Wasn't the dragon-slaying hunter sent out by you, guild master?? How did he become a young lady??"

The Hunter's Guild Master and his secretary, Messiah, exchanged a glance, and a message could be gleaned from their eyes.

This is a huge problem.

Chapter 71 [The title was eaten by Youyou]

"It's troublesome..."

The Hunter's Guild Master stood with his arms crossed, looking at the letters that the mascot had just brought him and the letters that his secretary had brought him. Both letters were about hunting down a different dragon.

If it were simply a matter of hatred towards the dragon slayer, it would be easy to find out by coming to the hunting grounds on the outskirts of the Ancient Forest. However, the key point is that the letter delivered by the signboard girl clearly stated that the dragon slayer did not go to the Misty Swamp because of hatred, but rather because it seemed to be afraid of something and ran in a panic towards the Misty Swamp.

The hunter had initially assumed that the dragon had chased the female Rathian to that area, but after leaving the Ancient Forest, he found no trace of the female Rathian. The dragon, having no target of hatred, continued towards the Misty Swamp as always.

You should know that Zhanlong has never been to a place like the Misty Swamp. Why would Zhanlong, who has no target of hatred, go to the Misty Swamp?

If it's about crossing the Misty Swamp to reach the distant desert on the other side, that's understandable. But why would Zhanlong travel so far from the food-rich Ancient Forest?

The Hunter's Guild Master felt that things might not be as simple as they seemed, especially after encountering the Zinogre, which was far from its habitat. He felt that things were probably not so straightforward.

................

In the Water Cave Village of Merlin, Milia was quickly scribbling something in the sketchbook that Rorota had bought for her. Rorota, who was writing in an account book nearby, looked curiously at the large amount of writing and some monster drawings in Milia's hand and asked her:

"Miss Milia, what are you writing, meow?"

Hearing Lorota's words, Milia looked up and showed Lorota her sketchbook, saying:

"Oh, I'm writing a report on some monster ecology observations."

Lorota looked at the sketchbook in Milia's hand, which contained descriptions of the ecology of the colorful bird and some portraits. She exclaimed in admiration at the detailed descriptions of the bird's ecology and the portraits that looked so real.

"As expected of Miss Milia, meow. But why would Miss Milia record these things?"

In response to Rorota's question, Milia scratched her head somewhat embarrassed and said:

"Well... because I'll be taking the Scrivener's Hunter exam, I need to take some notes to remember this information."

Hearing Milia's words, Lorota looked at Milia with a puzzled expression and said:
