Monster Hunter Monster Girl Story
0013 Battle to Subdue
The wild boar had two cuts, one horizontal and one vertical, on its side.
The wounds on the dark brown fur overlapped, forming bleeding wounds.
Li Ai spotted the wound, twisted her body, and prepared to tear it further.
Clang!
The powerful spinning slash, propelled by a twisting body, struck the curved fangs, sending sparks flying.
The recoil from the blade forced Li Ai to take a half-step back, his hand gripping the sword going numb.
"The struggle on the ground was too intense, making it too difficult to accurately hit the wound. Moreover, the bone blade wasn't sharp enough to damage the fangs... Real combat is indeed different."
Li Ai moved sideways, trying to continue slashing at the wound on her side.
The little wild boar seemed to have figured out that the opponent couldn't cut through its tusks, so it continued to struggle and root at the ground, shaking its head towards Li Ai.
The monster was knocked down, which should have been the best time to attack, but because the little wild boar actively responded by lying on the ground and rooting around, the two ended up in a standoff.
"Fine, then don't get up if you dare."
Li Ai, who was circling around, stopped, holding a shield in one hand to protect her chest, and tucked the bone blade behind her back with the other.
Next, use your hands to pry open the inside of the bone shield and use the tobacco box lid that is stuck with grass.
He leaned forward and put one of the four different brands of cigarettes, arranged in the box, into his mouth.
The hunter pulled a lighter from the shoulder strap of his tool, and four cigarettes were lit and quickly burned.
The rising smoke quickly enveloped Li Ai's face.
Smoke and dust drifted away, and cigarette butts fell to the ground.
A face with slightly reddish skin and bloodshot eyes was revealed.
Call ~
Li Ai exhaled softly, and wisps of blue smoke escaped from her mouth.
Upon seeing this bizarre sight, the fallen wild boar's eyes trembled, and its struggles momentarily ceased.
Bang! Bang! Bang! ...
Ignoring whether he could deflect the blade, Li Ai began hacking and slashing at the fangs.
Amidst the flying sparks, the bone blade grew increasingly blunt, but the impact of the recoil-shocking blade on Li Ai did indeed continue to decrease.
The slashing motions became increasingly fluid, and the frequency was intentionally increased.
The skin on the palm of his hand holding the sword was cracked from the impact, and blood quickly flowed from the hunter's handguard.
But at that moment, even one of the swinging fangs was smashed open, leaving a crack.
The little wild boar realized it could no longer lie down and confront the enemy, so it arched its back against the ground and stood up on all fours.
However, the grass, which had pulled ahead in the sprint, crashed into him from behind again.
The little wild boar rolled over and fell face-first into the mud.
He immediately stood up, lowered his head briefly to gather his strength, and then rammed into Li Ai.
"Green grass! Squad attack!"
The impact took too long to build up, and the little wild boar had already taken two hits, so it would definitely be on guard. Li Ai decided to change his battle strategy.
The little boar, already in a defensive stance with its shield in place, suddenly made a nearly 90-degree turn and escaped from the pincer attack.
"Isn't this a sharp right-angle turn pig cart that only the Great Wild Boar King can master... Chase it!"
After confirming that the little wild boar was unusual, Li Ai became even more excited.
A jungle chase ensued.
A truck is moving along the road covered with tire tracks.
Tap tap~
A wounded wild boar rushed out, crossed over, and entered the jungle on the other side.
The herbivorous dragon shuddered in alarm, and the truck came to a stop.
"Damn wild boar... wait, could it have been injured by a Velocidrome?"
The driver immediately became nervous.
Although many hunter teams travel through the village every day, not every truck can carry hunters because their destinations vary.
The dull thud of footsteps followed closely, and just as the driver's heart was in his throat, a herbivorous dragon darted out.
The herbivorous dragon pulling the cart watched its kind chasing a wild boar, its neck bent back as it looked at the driver, seemingly wanting an explanation.
"what?"
However, the driver himself was also confused.
The next moment, a hunter with blue smoke rising from his head also crossed the road and ran into the jungle.
"So many strange things are happening today, but at least it's not a Velociraptor."
The driver sighed and continued on his way.
In the jungle, to conserve her energy, Qingcao (Green Grass) moves through the gaps between the trees, transforming into a monster girl.
With powerful stomping of its hooves and a standard arm-swinging running posture, it continuously closed the distance with the wild boar.
Meanwhile, the little wild boar, having sensed a deadly threat, had exhausted its stamina after a long run. Despite frequently changing direction, it still couldn't shake off the pursuit.
Qingcao leaped and grabbed a pig's hind leg from behind.
The little wild boar twisted its body, swung its head, and rammed its tusks at the grass, which could only dodge.
Taking advantage of the opening, Li Ai drew his sword and leaped up to strike.
baah~
The wound on its abdomen was torn open further, and the little wild boar dared not linger, continuing to flee.
Looking at the bloodstains on the grass, Li Ai had a bad feeling.
Successfully hunting a boar will indeed fulfill the quest and allow you to obtain wild boar materials.
But that would mean you can't defeat the little boar. Having an extra monster girl in the early game is basically equivalent to having an extra hunter teammate.
Li Ai felt that she had to find a way to stop the bleeding before the patient died.
Seeing that this forest was not far from the sheep village, it quickly came up with a plan.
"Keep a safe distance and chase the sheep away!"
"good!"
The two then positioned themselves behind the sheep, each locking onto a location, forcing the little wild boar to rush towards the sheep village.
After passing through the bushes, a grassland plain came into view.
Under the warm sunlight, smoke was rising from the chimneys of two houses, one large and one small.
The little wild boar had no time to appreciate the pastoral scenery before it; it only saw the extremely long wooden fence blocking its way.
It tried to make a sharp turn, but Li Ai and the grass were suddenly closing in on it from both sides.
The pig's trotters charged at their maximum speed, raising a cloud of dust.
Thud!
The wooden fence was knocked open, and the little wild boar tried to continue charging to clear a path, but its speed had already dropped sharply.
The short-distance acceleration in the field did not allow it to break through the wooden fence on the other side; instead, it got stuck in the gap.
But the other side still didn't give up struggling. The pig pushed off the ground with its hind legs and tried to escape with the fence.
Li Ai leaped up and slashed down at the head from behind.
Massive blood loss, extreme exhaustion, and this devastating blow.
The little wild boar finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to its side, letting out a painful groan.
Li Ai waved for Qingcao to step back, covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and threw the tranquilizer ball with the other.
The two projectiles struck, and the little wild boar, having inhaled a large amount of pink mist, fell into a deep sleep.
Cecilia noticed the noise and ran out of the house, crying out in anguish, "My fence, meow!"
"Forget about the fence, Cecil, quickly build me a pig cage."
When the little wild boar woke up again, it was already night.
Finding itself in a suspended cage with its four hooves dangling in the air, unable to escape, it stopped its struggling.
Below, beside a bright campfire, Li Ai was sitting on the ground looking at her phone.
The little wild boar has indeed entered the contact period, but its affection level has dropped to a negative three hearts.
Just then, my phone alarm went off.
"It's time to change the medication... You're awake."
Li Ai picked up a bowl of crushed herbs and saw that the little wild boar had already opened its eyes, and smiled happily.
hum!
From the wild boar's indignant grunts, one could tell that it harbored only hatred towards Li Ai.
Li Ai wasn't in a hurry to improve the relationship. Instead, she loosened a section of the cable, making the pig cage closer to the ground.
Next, remove the cloth pasted on the wound and replace it with fresh herbal powder.
hum~
When the patch was applied, the little wild boar trembled in pain.
Seeing Li Ai raise her hand, the little wild boar thought it was about to be attacked again, so it grunted loudly.
Unexpectedly, what I felt was an extremely gentle caress on my back.
The groaning stopped, and the mood immediately calmed down.
"Oh, and it's also available orally."
Li Ai put down her food, picked up the whole, uncut herb, and reached towards the little wild boar's mouth.
In the past, wild boars would eat this to relieve pain from injuries sustained in the forest, and the little boar was quite familiar with its smell.
So, half-heartedly, I put it in my mouth and started chewing.
"Great, that will help you recover faster... Are you hungry? Here are some local specialty mushrooms, freshly picked this afternoon."
The fragrant fungi were the little wild boar's favorite. After tentatively taking a couple of bites, it began to chew them voraciously without a care in the world.
Not far away, behind a tree, two cats and a dragon, three heads peeking out, were intently observing everything.
"Such meticulous care! Will this turn the little wild boar into a monster girl as green as grass, meow?"
Cisel asked curiously.
"Li Ai said that wild boars don't easily accept humans, but there are still four days left in the entrustment period, so we can try to persuade them."
Green Grass shared its opinion.
"Then let's do our best to support him and help him as much as possible, meow."
After Mitsuha finished speaking, she went to collect mushrooms again.
In November, Senchiu is still quite cold.
However, thanks to the campfire and her improved physical condition, Li Ai was able to withstand it.
I heard the little wild boar snoring.
With nothing else to do, Li Ai started playing "Painful Match," a Soulslike match-3 game she developed.
Since they are all games under the Gumei Network brand, they were pre-installed on the mobile phones used by the characters.
Unlike typical match-3 games, these seemingly ordinary levels are filled with the malice of Souls-like games, requiring players to endure a great deal of suffering and torment.
However, after trying to pass the game multiple times with unwavering willpower, you will experience an unprecedented sense of exhilaration and accomplishment.
Therefore, it makes many players both love and hate it.
However, as a mobile game, this game allows for in-app purchases.
Furthermore, no one knows better than Li Ai, the designer, how tricky level design can be.
So he started spending money relentlessly, using in-game items to crush the levels, and played happily until dawn.
Watching the pay-to-win item from the collaboration, the lawnmower cart from Plants vs. Zombies, crush an entire block, Li Ai chuckled.
Just then, the sound of the pig cage shaking came from inside. Turning around, I saw that the little wild boar had woken up and was staring intently at the colorful mobile phone screen.
"You want to play too... It's a pity you can't play unless you become a monster girl."
Replace the herbs, feed the mushrooms, and gently massage the back.
Seeing that the little wild boar was no longer as resistant as before, Li Ai took out her phone to check, and found that its favorability rating had risen to a negative one heart.
"Is it the medal's effect, or am I just getting more skilled? I feel like my favorability rating is increasing so quickly."
When I changed the dressing again in the evening, the wound that had just been torn open yesterday had already started to scab over, showing signs of recovery.
"I wish humans had this terrifying regenerative ability too."
Li Ai lit a campfire and started playing the painful match-3 puzzle game again, which he found to be a pay-to-win experience.
Hmph~ Hmph~
The little wild boar grunted impatiently twice.
Li Ai was somewhat puzzled. He had taken care of his own eating, drinking, and toileting needs. The only thing he was unhappy about was that he was imprisoned and had no freedom.
During the contact period, you need at least two hearts of affection for the monster to be willing to follow you and not run away.
"Putting you down is impossible, don't even think about it."
Hmph~ Hmph~....
The little wild boar was unconvinced and began to grunt continuously.
Li Ai didn't have headphones, so she could only turn her back, and the humming suddenly stopped.
"You want to watch me play games...? You have a good eye! The person who designed this game is a complete genius!"
Li Ai began to narrate vividly, and the little wild boar, watching the flickering lights on the screen, gradually became engrossed.
The jungle at night.
A blue Velociraptor, smelling the bloodstains on the ground, came to the plain where the sheep village was located.
Human dwellings, consisting of houses and fences, are difficult for it to breach in the short term and are not the best choice for hunting.
There were areas illuminated by campfires, where there were occasional pleasant surprises, so I went over there.
Perhaps due to the constant spending of in-game currency and the lack of challenge, Li Ai yawned, already feeling sleepy.
But the little wild boar behind them remained alert and watched intently.
Seeing that her favorability rating had reached one heart, Li Ai could only force herself to continue playing.
Awoo~~
A howl came from the forest, and Li Ai was instantly wide awake.
I put four cigarettes in my mouth and lit them quickly.
Then he made a video call to Cecil.
"What's wrong, meow~"
Sleepy-eyed Cisel was rubbing his eyes with the back of his cat paw.
"A Blue Velocidrome is coming my way! Get Grass to provide support immediately!"
"I understand, meow!"
After Sisel finished speaking and hung up, the sound of gongs being struck immediately echoed throughout the sheep village.
Li Ai faced the woods, watching warily.
Soon, the sound of rapid clawing could be heard, and three Blue Velocidrome emerged one after another from the dark jungle.
Li Ai immediately realized that the situation was tricky.
Because if there is only one, with the help of grass, it is not only easy to repel it, but it is also possible to kill one.
After all, in terms of speed and escape, the Velocidrome is far inferior to the wild boar.
But now three of them have appeared, making it difficult to retreat unscathed.
Hmph! Hmph! ...
At this moment, the little wild boar's grunting became extremely intense.
After all, Li Ai could at least run, while it could only wait to die on the spot.
"Forget it, even if I run away, there's still some goodwill between us, so at least we won't be hostile when we meet again."
With these thoughts in mind, Li Ai swung her bone blade and severed the cable.
The little wild boar landed on all fours, dragging its cage into a tree trunk, smashing the cage to pieces.
The three blue Velociraptors seemed to have considerable experience in hunting together, and they had already formed a frontal encirclement.
However, perhaps because they had little meat on their bodies, or because they knew that it would be very difficult for hunters to kill them, all their targets were focused on the baby boars.
After a brief moment of hesitation, the little wild boar sprinted away to break through the encirclement.
It sped ahead at high speed, leaving one behind; the pig cart swerved sharply to avoid another.
Faced with the final attack, it lowered its head and clashed its fangs against the sharp claws.
Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the side. Li Ai used his bone shield to block the Blue Velociraptor's sharp claw attack.
The boar charged into the gap in front of the Velociraptor, its tusks piercing its belly, before violently shaking its head and pulling away.
Pfft!
A bloody hole was thus revealed.
The blue Velociraptor's mournful cry roused its two companions.
They immediately disregarded the encirclement formation and charged towards the man and the pig.
