Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests!

With reverence for nature, Chen Yan, Hua Miao, and Yinghulong finally embarked on their journey to find the two fire dragons, Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess.

Naomi frowned as she waited and waited at the dormitory entrance, but Chen Yan never returned.

Xia Long left, and Chen Yan's vacation naturally came to an end as well. She had originally planned to have Chen Yan stay by her side and learn some skills, but she couldn't see him come back no matter what.

She walked toward the log warehouse, only to see neatly stacked logs at the entrance but no one in sight. She then approached Xialong's hut and saw the note nailed to the logs.

"Big Sister Naomi, I'm going on a long trip and will be back in ten days to two weeks. Remember to air out my blankets when the weather is nice, make sure to air them out on both sides, remove any cat hair stuck to them, and water the plants in the house..."

It was obvious that Chen Yan had slipped away again.

Naomi's temples throbbed.

She could tell from the strands of her hair that Chen Yan was up to no good, and that he might be stirring up some big trouble again.

Amidst the continuous sneers, Naomi's eyes blazed with fury. She hadn't settled the score with him for the last time he annihilated Nergigante because he was in a bad mood lately. It seemed she had to teach him a lesson he deserved.

She gripped the note tightly, about to send Harley to hunt her down, when she suddenly felt something poking her hand.

She opened her hand and found something stuck to the back of the note.

A dazzling piece of ancient dragon jade.

He paused for a moment, then looked at the note again; there was a second half to the sentence.

"...Water the flowers and plants. Oh, and I think this stone is pretty, so I'll give it to you, Big Sister. Chen Yanliu, who respects Big Sister the most."

Naomi stared at the Ancient Dragon Jade, slightly dazed.

Even Flower Cat knew how precious this thing was, and she didn't believe Chen Yan didn't know, so she carefully wrapped it in a piece of paper and casually tossed it into Xialong's Hut.

The ancient dragon's aura still lingers; there's nowhere safer than here.

She turned around, and the scale brooch in front of her trembled.

"Chen Yan, you've got some nerve, willing to use the Ancient Dragon Jade to shut me up. But ordinary things are one thing, but I don't want this rare stuff. You'd better get back here as soon as possible and pray your legs are tougher than my hunting flute!"

...

"Achoo!"

Wearing only underwear, Chen Yan rubbed his nose and tightened his grip on the warm cat in his arms.

"The wind isn't strong at all, so why did I sneeze? Could it be that Naomi found the precious jade I left for her and is excitedly calling my name over and over again?"

Chen Yan didn't really care much about the mere ancient dragon jade; he would have taken a second look if it were a great ancient dragon jade.

I touched the clothes and pants hanging on the Pink Rathian's shell; they were still a little damp and needed to air dry for a while.

Flower Cat was much better than him in this respect. After being pulled out of the sea by the Pink Rathian, it shook its shiny fur a few times and easily shook off all the water, which made the shivering Chen Yan extremely envious.

Just then, the Rathalos turned its head to look at him, blinking at him, and Chen Yan knew what it wanted.

Are you hungry?

Chen Yan peered down; they had already flown over the volcanic area, and judging from the deep blue hues below, they must have arrived at the Coral Plateau region.

He was also experiencing some back pain from sitting, so it would be good for him to go down and warm himself by the fire to rest.

He patted the Pink Rathian's neck, and the little guy let out a cheerful growl, folded its wings, and chose to dive down in freefall. However, the descent speed was not fast at all, because the strong updrafts everywhere pushed them down slowly.

During the swaying descent, Chen Yan soon saw the summit of the Coral Highlands. He looked around carefully but didn't see the mythical beast Qilin, nor the Namielle Dragon, which belonged to the same suborder as the Chameleon Dragon. This made him somewhat disappointed.

"Where aren't Poppo and My Little Pony home?"

Drifting further down, you'll reach the middle layer of the Coral Highlands, a place teeming with bizarre and wonderful coral forests.

Compared to the silent summit, this place is much more lively.

The Rathalos circled a few times, raised its head as if it had smelled something, and slightly opened its wings, changing its gliding route. After passing through a coral forest, a dreamlike scene appeared before Chen Yan.

They arrived at an area where pink land corals, resembling cherry blossom trees, grew in abundance. The land coral eggs floated in the air like cherry blossom petals, and groups of flying euphratica trees drifted around. The environment was simply too beautiful.

Chen Yan was captivated by the beautiful scenery, while Flower Cat and Pink Rathian were captivated by the prey that could be found everywhere.

When the herd of Pteranodons, which feed on the eggs of terrestrial corals, saw a Pink Rathian approaching, they panicked and began to fly around wildly. Meanwhile, the bulging, floating dragons quietly deflated and disappeared into the ubiquitous holes in the coral forest.

The cat-lizard dragons and spirit deer on the ground were also startled and fled. Chen Yan even saw a few soft-feathered rails nestled on the back of the ancient ghost bat.

This is a rare find.

Before Chen Yan could even properly admire these adorable furry creatures, the cat in his arms transformed into a bolt of lightning and swiftly leaped onto the back of the ancient ghost bat.

Then it started poaching at the trembling, feathered moorhen, sending feathers flying everywhere. The moorhen quickly hopped back with its catch.

"Chen Yan, we're so lucky! We caught a few fat chickens right away. They'll taste great roasted later!"

Chen Yan sighed helplessly.

He flipped off the dragon and landed on the bouncy soft coral. Just as he was about to call for Flower Cat to jump down as well, he felt a pain in his chest, his vision blurred, and he was sent flying backward.

He landed and tumbled several times, rubbing his chest. Despite the armor protecting him, he estimated it was covered in bruises. He gasped as he stood up and discovered that the culprit was a rabid bird that had launched a sneak attack without any sense of martial ethics.

The cat also jumped down, holding a fat chicken in one paw and a knife in the other, gesturing wildly in front of the bird.

Hua Miao had never seen such a strange-looking monster before, but a monster that could kick Chen Yan away with one claw must be no pushover, so it didn't dare to start a fight rashly for a moment.

The Dazzling Bird didn't even glance at the Flower Cat, which was half its height. Seeing that Chen Yan could still get up, it let out an excited cry and hopped over to kick him with its powerful hind legs, which had sharp claws.

This time Chen Yan was on guard. He drew his knife to parry, but was still forced back several steps by the powerful claw kick.

While the cat wasn't paying attention, it sneaked up behind it, ready to use the tip of its knife to poke at its vitals.

As it turned out, the bird seemed to have a premonition, and with a sudden, unexpected kick, the cat was also sent flying, and the fat chicken it was clutching tightly was thrown into the air as well.

After kicking Chen Yan away and then knocking over Hua Miao, Xuan Niao was extremely pleased with himself.

It let out strange cries and hopped around, trying to kick Chen Yan again, but a dark shadow enveloped it. Amidst a deafening roar, strong claws emerged from beneath its cherry blossom-colored wings. If they were to grab it, they could instantly crush the bird into mincemeat.

Sensing danger, the dazzling bird pushed off the ground with its claws and pulled back, simultaneously opening its flash membrane. In an instant, a flash of light, no less intense than a flash bomb, illuminated the area. The pink raven was blinded by the bright light and lost its target, only managing to tear apart a piece of soft coral.

Seeing that the Pink Rathian was dazed by its flashbang, the Dazzling Bird let out another excited cry. Instead of running away, it jumped up and tried to kick the Pink Rathian!

They've turned the Heavenly Gang upside down!

Having recovered, Chen Yan used the soft coral beneath his feet to spring up and swung his large robe at its head, but this unusual bird actually knew how to feint.

It shrank its head and bent its body, successfully dodging Chen Yan's slash. When Chen Yan looked up again, it had already stuck the flashing film on Chen Yan's face.

Another flashbang!

As his vision was completely filled with white light, a new white bubble appeared in his mind.

[Dazzling Bird issues a mission request: I want to prove that I am the true overlord of the Coral Highlands!]

[What? You say you're not convinced? You little brat, look me in the eye! Take this flashbang!]
