I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

As she spoke, the little hunter's dog, Fang, barked in agreement, and the two of them started running towards the camp. However, as the little hunter rode her hound past a waterfall, a huge figure suddenly jumped down from above them, leaving the little hunter and her dog no time to react.

With a loud crash, the loli hunter and her hound were thrown back by the impact. Fortunately, the loli hunter and her hound, Fang, reacted quickly when attacked and quickly prepared to get up as soon as they landed, avoiding further damage.

After they got up, they saw that there was a Spectral Tiger Dragon where the heavy object had just fallen. The little hunter was surprised to see this. She did not expect that the Spectral Tiger Dragon would catch up with them so quickly. It seems that she had underestimated the speed and mobility of the Spectral Tiger Dragon. She did not expect that it could catch up with them in such a mountainous place.

Seeing the menacing Specter Tiger Dragon made the Loli Hunter feel nervous. As she drew her twin swords, her hound, Fang Fang, picked up its weapon and prepared to attack.

Meanwhile, the vengeful tiger dragon was keeping an eye on the loli hunters, circling around them and blocking their way out. This showed that the vengeful tiger dragon was consciously preventing the loli hunters from escaping.

The loli hunter, noticing this, also found it troublesome, and noticed that the number of blue flames emanating from the Spectral Tiger Dragon had increased.

"Roar----!!"

The Wraith Tiger Dragon roared, and the yellow carapace on its body sprang out blade-like shells. The arm blades on its forepaws also unfolded, and the spear-like shells on its tail opened up into the shape of a cross-shaped spear. The will-o'-the-wisps on its body became even more bewitching.

Seeing this, the loli hunter realized that the Spectral Tiger Dragon had entered a serious state. This made the loli hunter prepare to dodge. The Spectral Tiger Dragon's next attack would not be able to withstand her thin armor. Just like the instructor at her former hunter training ground had told her, dodging was the best defense.

After shifting its stance, the Spectral Tiger Dragon also pounced towards the Loli Hunters. The two of them, one human and one dog, did what they had done before, separating to dodge the Spectral Tiger Dragon's attack.

However, after swooping down, the Spectral Tiger Dragon immediately followed up with its second tail sweep, aiming at the Loli Hunter. The Loli Hunter reacted quickly, performing an aerial spin and leap like a spinning bamboo dragonfly as she slashed at the Spectral Tiger Dragon's tail with her sword. However, the Loli Hunter's dual swords only left white marks on the carapace of the Spectral Tiger Dragon's tail.

Seeing this, the loli hunter realized that it would be difficult for her to inflict effective damage on the Magnificent Tiger Dragon unless she could attack a weak point in its carapace.

After landing, the Loli Hunter tried to keep some distance from the Magnificent Tiger Dragon, maintaining a relatively safe position. The Hound Fang Fang also swung its weapon in its mouth at the Magnificent Tiger Dragon, but even so, it could not cause any effective damage to the Magnificent Tiger Dragon, at most only leaving a few shallow scratches.

Although the Loli Hunters couldn't inflict any effective damage on the Grudge Tiger Dragon, the Grudge Tiger Dragon also couldn't do anything about the Loli Hunters for the time being because the Loli Hunters were too agile, and the Grudge Tiger Dragon couldn't find any openings for the time being.

It was during the battle between the Loli Hunters and the Magnificent Tiger Dragon that the Magnificent Tiger Dragon began to raise its tail high and start to swing it in a spinning motion. Seeing this, the Loli Hunters couldn't help but become cautious.

Although the Hunter's Guild knows the name of the Magnificent Tiger Dragon, information about it is scarce. The only hunter who defeated the Magnificent Tiger Dragon was a hunter in Fire Village 50 years ago, and there is not much other information recorded.

This left the loli hunter unsure of how to best deal with the Specter Dragon.

Just as the loli hunter was putting distance between herself and the Magnificent Tiger Dragon to avoid it using its tail whip attack, she didn't realize that this attack from the Magnificent Tiger Dragon was quite different from what she had expected.

As the Spectral Tiger Dragon made a tail-thrusting attack, a powerful impact was unleashed, and the will-o'-the-wisp flames on its tail were also swept towards it by this impact.

The loli hunter was caught off guard by what she saw, as she hadn't expected the Grudge Tiger Dragon to have such a long-range attack capability from such a safe distance.

This prevented the Loli Hunters from dodging the attack range of the Wraith Tiger Dragon. They were immediately sent flying by the powerful impact. At the same time, the Loli Hunters were hit by rocks thrown up by the Wraith Tiger Dragon. Coincidentally, the waterfall was right behind them, and both the Loli Hunters and the dog were sent flying.

The person and dog that were thrown out also fell from the waterfall, which was dozens of meters high. The loli hunter and the hunting dog Yaya, who were thrown out, endured the pain and forced themselves to assume a diving position to avoid falling from such a height and getting injured.

With two splashes, the loli hunter and her hound, Fang, jumped safely into the water. The loli hunter and her hound, who had surfaced, were swept away by the rapid current. The vengeful tiger dragon above the waterfall glanced at the loli hunter being swept away by the current, narrowed its eyes slightly, let out a roar, and left.

Meanwhile, the loli hunters in the river also saw the departing vengeful tiger dragon. Although they didn't know if it had given up, at least they had escaped a calamity.

Chapter 1174 [Yohaka: It's Yooyo-da OwO!]

When the little hunter emerged from the water, it was already nearly evening. She swam out on the back of her hunting dog, and after reaching a large tree, she patted the dog's back and said:

"Alright, YaYa, put me down here."

Hearing its master's words, Ya Ya lowered its body, and the Loli Hunter rolled off the hound. When she rolled off Ya Ya, the Loli Hunter accidentally pressed on her wound, and she gasped.

"hiss......"

Hearing its owner gasp, Ya Ya turned to look at the loli hunter and barked twice, as if asking if its owner was alright. Hearing Ya Ya's bark, the loli hunter waved and said:

"I'm fine, Yaya, I just accidentally bumped my wound."

As she spoke, the loli hunter carefully perched herself on the tree, then took out two bottles of healing potions from her pouch. After checking that the bottles weren't broken, the loli hunter breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Phew, thankfully the bottle wasn't broken, otherwise I would have had to go find herbs to make a recovery potion."

As she spoke, the loli hunter uncorked the bottle and said to Yaya beside her:

"Tooth, open your mouth."

Upon hearing the loli hunter's words, the hound Fang Fang obediently opened its mouth. The loli hunter poured the recovery potion into Fang Fang's mouth, then glanced at the green liquid in the recovery potion in her hand and frowned. Clearly, the loli hunter disliked the bitter taste of the recovery potion.

Seeing that its owner hadn't taken the medicine, Yaya waved its paws, urging the little hunter to drink it. Seeing its hound's urging, the little hunter looked helpless and said:

"I understand, I'll drink it all!"

With that, the loli hunter closed her eyes tightly and reluctantly drank the recovery potion. A strong, bitter taste immediately filled her mouth, making her think that she should carry Recovery Potion G in the future; at least Recovery Potion G contained honey, so it wouldn't taste so bitter...

After drinking the recovery potion, the loli hunter stuck out her tongue and said with a face scrunched up like a chrysanthemum:

"Ugh, I hate bitterness, it tastes awful."

Hearing what the little hunter said, Ya Ya shook her head helplessly. After drinking the recovery medicine, the little hunter began to check her injuries. Fortunately, being swept away by the water and hit the rocks did not cause her any fractures, only some superficial injuries.

Even so, the pain from the impact made it difficult for the loli hunter to move. She would need to rest for at least a few days. Of course, if this injury were to be suffered by an Earthling, she would need to stay in the hospital for about ten days to two weeks.

Meanwhile, the hound, Fangfang, was unharmed; it was only she who was unlucky.

After drinking the recovery potion and waiting for some time, the loli hunter felt her injuries had improved slightly and was able to stand up again. Although she felt weak, she was at least able to move. However, the loli hunter's weapon was missing, which made her feel troubled. She said:

"This is bad, the weapon is gone..."

Although he had a small knife that could be used to extract materials, it was not very effective in combat. It was okay to deal with small monsters, but it was difficult to inflict much damage on large monsters. Moreover, the blade of such a knife was very fragile and could easily chip if not used properly.

"Forget it, let's find a safe place quickly..."

Because both she and her dog were injured and it was getting dark, the loli hunter dared not ride Fangfang through the dark forest any longer. If they encountered any large monsters, they would be unable to fight them. If they encountered the same Wraith Tiger Dragon as before, then things would be very bad.

It's best to wait until dawn before taking any action; at least you should eat something first.

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

While searching for a suitable safe location, the loli hunter and her hound, Fangfang, also planned to pick some local mushrooms and edible wild vegetables. However, for some reason, the loli hunter had difficulty finding those things, even though there shouldn't be so few resources in the hunting grounds.

After all, no other hunters have been to this hunting ground yet, and the loli hunter knows that. Could it be that the feline living in this forest has taken the things?

After thinking about these things, the Loli Hunter didn't pay too much attention to them. Soon, after collecting enough ingredients, the Loli Hunter and Ya Ya found a suitable hiding place.

Beneath a huge tree stump was a tree hollow. After briefly checking the hollow and finding no trace of any monsters, the loli hunter felt at ease and set up a temporary camp there. The loli hunter took the dried meat she was carrying—well, it's better to say wet chunks of meat. In any case, she put the water-soaked dried meat together with some local mushroom skewers and wild vegetables, and then roasted it over the fire.

"Ya Ya, these are for you."

The loli hunter handed the rest of the food to her hound, and Ya Ya ate it without complaint, knowing that now was not the time to be picky.

After the skewers were grilled, the loli hunter picked one up and ate it. Although the taste wasn't great, the loli hunter didn't have any seasonings on her, so there was nothing she could do.

"Youyou smells it! OwO! There's food!"

Just then, a giant cat head appeared at the cave entrance, startling the loli hunter and Yaya inside. Yaya barked loudly at the Meru cat head that appeared at the cave entrance, and the loli hunter quickly calmed Yaya down to prevent her barking from attracting the monster. The loli hunter looked at the Meru cat head with a puzzled expression, clearly curious about this suddenly appearing stranger.

Chapter 1175 [Yohaka, whose Strange Background is Imagined to Explain It]

After the unknown person wearing the Meru cat headgear appeared, the loli hunter also looked puzzled, since there was basically nothing of value in this hunting ground.

The only valuable things are probably the antlers of those elven deer.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

The loli hunter stroked the head of her hound, Fangfang, while asking the question to the unknown person wearing the Meru cat headgear. The unknown person wearing the Meru cat headgear was none other than Yuhaka, since she was the only one dressed like that here. Of course, if Yuhaka's outfit appeared among the hunter players, it was estimated that a large number of players would equip it as a costume. If the equipment had good stats, some hunter players might even use it as armor for hunting.

Yuhaka answered the question from the loli hunter very honestly:

"Youyou is Youyou~"

"Youyou?"

Upon hearing the name Yuhaka, the loli hunter had a question mark above her head. After all, the name Yuhaka didn't seem to fit the style of names from their Flamefire Village at all. Moreover, the loli hunter had never heard anyone in Flamefire Village with that name, and she knew everyone in the village, so it was probably not a resident of Flamefire Village.

That could very well be someone from out of town. After all, there are other hunters and merchants from foreign countries in Flamefire Village, but very few people come. They are mostly familiar faces, and the loli hunter has never heard of anyone named Youyou.

Most importantly, the person in front of me named Youyou is about the same height as me and looks like a child. If she is a child, then it will be easier to remember her, right?

After all, there are very few foreign children who come to Flamefire Village. Of course, although he is about the same height as the child named Youyou in front of him, he is several years older than he looks.

However, right now, we should figure out where this Youyou is from, otherwise I might have to worry about encountering the Resentful Tiger Dragon. If it were just me and Yaya, we could still escape, but with this child, it's not certain.

"Youyou? Are you from abroad?"

Upon hearing the loli hunter's words, Yuhaka tilted her head in confusion, as if pondering something. After a few seconds, Yuhaka nodded and said:

"That's right, Youyou is from abroad OwO~"

Upon hearing that Yuhaka came from abroad, the loli hunter felt somewhat strange. After all, foreigners who wanted to come to Flamefire Village had to travel by sea and waterway to reach it, as this was the safest route. Traveling by air was not necessarily an option, as thunderstorms and strong winds frequently occurred there, and airships coming from the air had a high probability of crashing due to these factors. This was why the Hunter Guild headquarters could only rely on the relatively safe waterway to transport supplies and other matters.

"Let me introduce myself briefly. I am Yuuko, a hunter from Flame Village, and this is my partner, Aya."

"Wang Wang!"

Hearing Yuuko's words, Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at Yuuko, saying:

"Chestnuts? They sound delicious! OwO~"

Yuuka's answer made Yuuka look a little embarrassed. It was the first time she had heard someone say that her name tasted delicious. Yuuka rubbed her head, feeling a bit of a headache. Although she didn't know who this child named Yuuka was, she didn't seem like a bad person.

After all, if all bad people are like this, then I have nothing to worry about.

"By the way, Youyou, how did you end up here?"

Yuriko first asked Yuhaka about this, since there were very few foreigners here. Apart from foreign hunters, no one else came to the hunting grounds of Flamefire Village. Moreover, Yuriko didn't see any hunter-specific weapons on Yuhaka, so she naturally thought that Yuhaka was unlikely to be a hunter.

However, it is also very possible that it is an organization like "Mountain Vegetable Grandpa". But according to Yu Lizi, the Mountain Vegetable Grandpas are all dragon-human grandfathers. Yu Lizi has never heard of any dragon-human children participating in the Mountain Vegetable Grandpa organization. Could it be another organization similar to the Mountain Vegetable Grandpa organization, called something like the Mountain Vegetable Girl organization?

Uh... okay, that doesn't sound very likely, but at least I know this kid in front of me isn't a bad person.

When Yuhaka heard Yuriko's question, he answered very honestly:

"Youyou flew here =w=~"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's answer, Yuriko nodded. So that's how it is. He came by airship. No wonder she hadn't seen him in the village. However, Yuriko thought about it carefully. If he came by airship, there was no trace of it in the village. Could it be that his airship had encountered an accident?

So, Yuuko, who was thinking the same thing, asked Yuhaka out of curiosity:

"Youyou, are you all alone right now?"

Hearing this question, Yuhaka was also puzzled, after all, she had Esther in her contract space, and Yuriko was alone now.

"That's right, only Youyou OwO."

Yuuko was a little puzzled by Yuhaka's behavior, but because Yuhaka was wearing a Meru cat headgear, Yuuko couldn't see what Yuhaka's expression was and didn't say anything. However, Yuuko suddenly remembered something: the airship route to Flame Village had been suspended for a long time, so it was basically impossible for any airships to come.

So how did Yuhaka get here? Besides by water, there's no other way to get here.

Thinking about it this way, Yuuko also realized that there was a problem. Could it be that the other party was lying to her? But her intuition told her that the child in front of her was not lying. Then Yuuko noticed that the fur and headgear on Yuuka's body looked like something made by Mewcat. Could it be that this child was adopted by Mewcat?

Thinking about it this way, Yuuko also felt it was very possible that one day the airship flying to Flame Village was involved in an accident and crashed, and only one child survived, who was then adopted by the Meru Cat tribe. Thinking about it this way, Yuuko had already filled in the blanks about Yuhaka's origin.

Yhaka, however, was unaware of the bizarre backstory being imagined about him, because all he wanted to do right now was make a living.
