Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

Faced with the charging armored dragon, the squawking bird, which only knew how to howl, did not understand Chen Yan's meaning at all. It just frantically jumped on the rocks, regardless of whether its claws could stand on them. As a result, it slipped and fell with every step it took, and apart from flapping its feathers all over the sky, it did nothing to help.

Now Chen Yan fully understands just how intelligent the Xialong behind the stronghold really is.

"Flower Cat, hurry up and come help!"

The cat calmly picked at its nails.

"It's not impossible for me to help you. I think that egg has delicate features and is quite pretty. It should taste pretty good when baked. You know what I mean?"

Chen Yan gritted his teeth and desperately resisted the armored dragon that charged towards him.

"Great! The whole thing is yours! Come help me!"

Having not tasted Chen Yan's signature roasted dragon egg for a long time, the cat smacked its lips in satisfaction and leaped down, landing steadily on the head of the scratching bird.

Before the scratching bird could even cry out, it once again unleashed the cat clan's secret technique—the Face-Hugging Cat Technique.

The gnat bird, its sight suddenly taken away, let out a startled cry. Instinctively, it began to fumble and scratch, trying to grab a stone to smash the strange thing on its head. Chen Yan, standing in front of it, was undoubtedly the perfect "stone".

Its long, slender, and nimble fingers gripped Chen Yan's waist tightly, easily lifting him up.

They've finally combined!

Chen Yanhua, the invincible cat-scratching bird, is officially complete!

"Meow, to the left!"

The cat, which was firmly perched on the scratching bird's face, reached out and ripped off a yellow hair from the left side of the scratching bird's head. The scratching bird let out a howl and instinctively flailed Chen Yan to its left.

With its combined strength and Chen Yan's, it easily knocked over a charging armored dragon.

"Flower Cat, to the right!"

Flower Cat then ripped off the yellow hair on the right side of the Scratcher's head, and successfully knocked over a Hardened Dragon on its right side as well.

"Flower Cat, in the middle, unleash an invincible sweep!"

The cat rubbed its paws together. Faced with this very difficult challenge, its eyes darted around and it quickly locked onto its target among a row of yellow fur.

It revealed a cruel smile and grabbed the thickest, longest, and yellowest feather on the scratching bird's head.

With an angry meow, it exerted all its strength and pulled hard with its claws, tearing out a hair almost as long as its front paws, with a bit of blood still clinging to the end.

The tarantula let out a mournful cry that pierced the sky and began to frantically lash out at Chen Yan. Chen Yan, enduring the dizziness, knocked down the armored dragons that charged at him one by one.

When only the last tuft of feathers remained on the Scratcher's head, they finally managed to knock down all the Ankylosaurus.

"It's done...it's done!"

The cat, having accomplished its mission, jumped down from the scratching bird's head and hugged the yellowish-brown dragon egg, unable to stop kissing it. It had already imagined the joy of enjoying the roasted dragon egg all to itself.

Chen Yan knelt on the ground, vomiting so violently that he was dizzy and disoriented. He couldn't even bother with the ritual of escaping misfortune that was required before receiving the reward.

The first Mediterranean scratcher in history looked at the yellow feathers all over the ground, grabbed a handful in disbelief, and after confirming that they were its own feathers, its expression gradually became blank. With a scream mixed with a strange cry, it disappeared by stepping on several armored dragons.

As for Harley, who was "hidden" in a patch of unremarkable withered grass in the corner and witnessed the whole thing, she was completely stunned.

Chapter 22 Don't Be Afraid

By the time Chen Yan wiped his mouth and stood up, the mission reward had already been credited to his account.

It wasn't the bird-scratching kick he thought it was.

[Task completed.]

[Gold Digger]: Not only are combustible stones or sticky stones buried under your feet, but also pottery jars. There is a very small chance that you will dig up special items when you dig.

Instead of drawing the Scratching Bird Kick, Chen Yan drew a Gold Rush Claw that he didn't understand. He frowned and poked the ground with his scabbard. All that came out were gravel and pebbles of various sizes.

"What do you mean by extremely low probability? Even though the scratching bird is so good at digging, I've never seen it dig up any treasures. Could it be that I'm going to dig up some kind of treasure...?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a slight tremor came from the ground beneath his feet.

Chen Yan was stunned, and an incredulous look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"My new account is amazing! I actually found some treasure on my first digging!"

Chen Yan spat into his hand, ready to go all out and dig for treasure, but before he could even bend over, a person suddenly jumped out from an ordinary pile of dry grass a dozen meters away.

Chen Yan thought he was seeing things, but when he blinked hard and looked again, the figure turned into Harley and rushed in front of him.

Why did you follow me here?

Before Chen Yan could whistle to signal the pterosaur to help him escape, she pounced on him with the ferocity of a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

The two entangled bodies slid along the soft gravel until they slid into several unconscious Ankylosaurus before stopping.

Chen Yan was completely bewildered and unable to move. He had clearly grabbed Harley's hands first when she tackled him, so how did his hands end up being pinned down by her knees after just a few seconds?

"Wait, don't hit my face!"

Seeing Harley raise her fist, which was as big as a steamed bun, Chen Yan could only beg her not to hit his face. But the expected pain did not come. Instead, he felt a softness in front of him, a fragrance in his nose, and a few strands of black hair fell down his side.

"Don't move!"

Harley leaned down and pressed herself tightly against Chen Yan, whispering in his ear in the softest of voices, while also tugging at her invisibility cloak in the smallest of movements, trying to cover Chen Yan as much as possible.

"Huh...uh!"

Seeing that Chen Yan was about to open his mouth to speak, Harley pressed his mouth down and even pinched his lips with two fingers.

She unleashed a powerful, deadly scissor-hand move, catching Chen Yan off guard and causing him to nearly cry from the pain.

I didn't experience the so-called delicious flavor from a young girl's fingertips. Instead, I ate a mouthful of sand that grazed my teeth, and I couldn't even utter a single word of complaint.

Seeing Harley, who remained silent as if mocking him, Chen Yan was enraged. A true man can be killed but not humiliated!

He had teased her at the camp earlier, and he was indeed a little embarrassed, but he hadn't given up on making amends.

He was planning to show off his skills when he got back that night, cooking an amazing meal to win her forgiveness, but he didn't expect her to be so mischievous, wanting to play some thrills on him in broad daylight in the wild. Well then, he shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

If it were his old tongue, it would be completely immobile, but his current tongue has been enhanced by the [Developed Tongue] reward from the Poisonous Bird quest.

Let alone being held between Harley's two fingers, even pliers might not be able to clamp his mouth shut.

Chen Yan sucked his mouth back, and Harley's two fingers immediately missed their mark.

Before she could search again, Chen Yan pressed her curled tongue firmly against her palate, and in an instant, she mustered all her strength, opened her mouth, and flicked it hard. With a crisp sound, her two fingers were directly whipped away by the tip of Chen Yan's tongue!

The girl's fair fingertips left faint red marks.

"Haha, you think you can subdue me? Don't even dream about it! I'm not even afraid of Xia Long, why would I be afraid of someone like you..."

Chen Yan's arrogant smile froze instantly.

Among the fallen armored dragons, there appeared something that, like Harley, shouldn't have been there.

To put it simply, it is—

A pair of huge, curved dragon horns, a massive mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth, and a pair of small eyes that radiate a terrifying, cold light.

Chen Yan gazed deeply into the eyes of a strikingly prominent dragon head on the sand.

It exhaled a stream of scorching hot exhaust gas from its nostrils, gently, slowly, and quietly pulling out the hideous, terrifying, and oppressive body buried under the sand.

“Hey, Harley, please… no, please shut my mouth again.”

Harley gently patted Chen Yan's face and smiled, a smile as beautiful as a black rose.

"run!"

She leaped up like a hare, her slender figure extremely agile. Not only did she complete a 360-degree flip in the air, but she also managed to pull Chen Yan up as well, and even kicked the equally dumbfounded Hua Miao.

The three had just rushed out of the pass when they heard a thunderous roar behind them. A shockwave, as if it were real, swept over them. Blood gushed from Chen Yan's ears instantly. He felt as if he had been hit on the head. His vision blurred and he was about to fall to the ground uncontrollably.

Harley also let out a muffled groan, her body stiffening for a moment, but she quickly recovered. While pulling Chen Yan and Hua Miao along, she somehow managed to unscrew a bottle of healing potion and splash it all over Chen Yan and Hua Miao's faces.

The icy medicine quickly brought them back to their senses, and they continued their escape without stopping. With Harley pulling and dragging them, their speed was astonishing; Chen Yan had never run so fast in his life.

But they angered a horned dragon.

Although the Diablos is a type of flying wyvern, it is one of the few herbivorous monsters among them. They usually feed on cacti in the desert, but this vegetarian monster has an extremely violent and ferocious heart. They will kill any creature that enters their territory.

Just as Chen Yan was running with all his might, Harley suddenly swept his leg, knocking the unsuspecting Chen Yan and Hua Miao to the ground.

Watching Harley's resolute back, Chen Yan suddenly had a terrifying thought.

He heard a story when he was a child.

Two people, A and B, startled a bear in the mountains. A ran as fast as he could, while B stood still and said, "What's the use of running? Can you outrun a bear?" A ran and said, "I just need to run faster than you."

Harley is like A now, while he and Flower Cat together are like B.

Just as he was feeling a mix of emotions, he saw that Harley had not gone far. She tried her best to regulate her breathing, held up the crossbow, and fired a bolt into the sky at an angle.

The strange crossbow bolt, made of some unknown material, emitted an extremely piercing scream the moment it left the bowstring.

She then turned around and pounced on Chen Yan again.

This time, without her saying a word, Chen Yan very proactively and eagerly placed that damned mouth between her fingers.

Seeing Chen Yan's comical pout, Harley laughed happily despite their life-or-death crisis of being chased by the "Desert Tyrant." She gently pinched Chen Yan's lips.

The girl's barely audible voice echoed in my ears.

"Don't be afraid, little brother, your boss is here."

The sand beneath it trembled, and the massive body of the horned dragon, over twenty meters long, leaped out from under the gravel like a yellowish-brown missile. Ignoring the two people and one cat huddled together beneath it, it chased after the crossbow bolt.

Chapter 23 is not bad.

"Brother Chen Yan, let me ask you, am I good-looking?"

Harley, who was standing right next to her, spoke softly and suddenly asked a very inappropriate question.

The cute brim of her poisonous bird-patterned top drooped down, covering her full head of black hair and also just enough to obscure half of Chen Yan's face.

A strand of hair slipped out from under the hat and landed right on Chen Yan's nose. His mouth was pinched shut, so he could only breathe through his nose. Instantly, a rich and unique fragrance wafted over.

The fragrance of her hair that filled his nostrils made Chen Yan, who was trying his best not to appreciate how beautiful her body was, suddenly feel his heart race.

To the average person, it simply smells very fragrant, with a fresh and refined natural scent. But to Chen Yan, who possesses the sense of smell of a crown dinosaur, it detects something that ordinary people cannot smell.

"Water plants, cacti, ivy leaves, honey, herbs, dragon bones... these are all good things! No wonder your hair is so black and shiny. Hmm, but why is my heart racing? Could it be...?"
