Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

No chewing is needed. Just hold it in your mouth for a few seconds, and the corrosive saliva will melt it down to the bone and skin, sliding down your throat and into your stomach.

It eats, it eats, it eats and eats...

Chen Yan and Hua Miao followed the passage that appeared to have been dug by the Odogaron to the bottom, eventually sliding out from a crevice in the cliff wall of a relatively quiet underground cave.

The moment Chen Yan landed, he noticed the signs of battle all over the walls and the floor.

Not only were there scratch marks left by the Tianhui Dragon as it flew by, but also blackened cliff walls from the Tianhui Dragon's bombardment with its dragon energy, and countless dried corpses that had been drained dry by the miasma.

It seems a rather fierce battle took place here.

Chen Yan opened the guide worm jar that Naomi had given him before he left, letting the guide worms hover and record the scents of the three ancient dragons.

When Hua Miao landed, she immediately took a liking to the plump fish swimming in the blue water.

It rubbed its belly; after being chased and leaped around by the raging Devouring Deviljho for so long, the little bit of food it had eaten that morning was long gone.

Licking its lips, it transformed into a ferocious, ravenous Deviljho cub and tiptoed to the edge of the pool. Seeing that the fish inside were not trying to escape, it leaped in to eat the fish meat and drink the fish soup.

Just as it was about to plunge in, Chen Yan grabbed it by the scruff of its neck. Before it could even ask a question, several cat hairs fell and were completely dissolved by the seemingly ordinary blue liquid...

"This is an acid pool, silly cat..."

Chapter 229 Good people really do get good rewards

In the end, the flower cat did manage to eat the golden fish swimming in the acid pool.

As for why Chen Yan went to such great lengths to catch it and eat it, it was definitely not because he saw that rare, large golden fish and couldn't resist the urge to catch it.

Using the tail blade of the Sulfur-Slaying Dragon as a baking pan and the bones of the Bonehammer Dragon as firewood, smoke rose from the deepest part of the Rotten Vale.

After eating and drinking their fill, the guideworms memorized the scents of the three ancient dragons. They split into three groups and drifted off to different locations.

One of the streaks points directly into the depths of the cave, presumably where the ghoul dragon is hiding.

Chen Yan didn't disturb Him. Actually, he was quite interested in the cold, pale, thin, gloomy, and reclusive beauty of the Corpse Haze Dragon. He had fantasized about it more than once—

He transformed into a domineering CEO, ruthlessly tearing off the hides of the Great Paralysis Dragon, Bone Hammer Dragon, Odogaron Dragon, Bazelgeuse Dragon, Tigrex Dragon, Sulfur Dragon, and Ferocious Claw Dragon drapes covering the body of the Corpse-Clad Dragon...

In a "romantic" environment where monster skin flakes fly everywhere, gently stroke its "beautiful" body covered in barbs that prick your hands, legs, and buttocks.

Occasionally, I'd get a static shock, and a sliver of light would illuminate the miasma-like liquid flowing from the Vaal Hazak's body—sticky, watery, and foul-smelling...

Chen Yan felt exhausted just thinking about it.

Indeed, people should at least not...

Chen Yan ultimately did not choose to go inside.

Of course, if it were the Miasma Vaal Hazak, Chen Yan would definitely go in to take a look. After all, who wouldn't want to gently lift that sacred wedding veil and behold its pure and flawless appearance...

Then, transforming into a domineering CEO, he ruthlessly tears open the giant paralyzed dragon skin and bone hammer dragon skin covering the "Bride Corpse Hare Dragon"...

Chen Yan shook his head abruptly, "Forget it, digging him up is more difficult than digging up ten acres of cornfield!"

Emerging from the cave, they followed the circular ramp upwards, carefully avoiding the ravenous Deviljho who was feasting on its meal. After a morning of wandering around, they finally returned to the Coral Highlands.

Following the guide worm's lead, without pausing, it turned and plunged into the undulating coral forest.

They had assumed it would be a spacious secret passage large enough to accommodate the enormous size of an ancient dragon, but Chen Yan and Hua Miao were dumbfounded when they entered.

This path is so narrow that even a small, agile bird would have a hard time squeezing through it completely, let alone an ancient dragon.

Extremely rugged and difficult narrow paths, hard and sharp coral pillars, dangerous terrain with varying elevations...

The Heavenly Returning Dragon ignores the vast sky and the wide, good road next door, and instead deliberately wanders through this dilapidated road, making Chen Yan and Hua Miao suffer terribly in their pursuit.

Both the human and the cat began to doubt the authenticity of the Heavenly Returning Dragon.

Fortunately, after a difficult journey of most of the day, they finally emerged from a newly dug dragon cave.

As a pungent smell of sulfur wafted over, Chen Yan and Hua Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally out; the sun was still half-lit, so it shouldn't be too late...

Looking around, they actually found themselves traversing the vast Coral Highlands via a small path, arriving at the edge of the Elder's Recess.

Chen Yanhua patted the coral fragments off her body, preparing to find a corner of a cave to rest for the night, but the sudden panting behind her immediately alerted them.

The Elder Dragon's Recess is extremely dangerous. Elder dragons roam everywhere, and subspecies are as common as dogs. If you venture in recklessly, you can't afford to be careless.

Even after discovering that it was just a group of assault dragons behind him, Chen Yan did not let his guard down.

It's not like he hasn't been injured by the Assault Dragon before.

These dozen or so assault draconians immediately bristled at the sight of the human and cat that had intruded into their territory. Led by the lead draconian, they lined up and prepared to ride together in a dragon-carrying formation.

Chen Yan and Hua Miao also drew out the Hei Yi Katana, which was made from materials from the Tianhui Dragon.

The blade, gleaming with a crimson hue, looked as if it were soaked in blood, and a chill could be felt from a great distance.

"I don't want to use the Assault Dragon to consecrate my weapon, but it seems I can't find any other monsters to bleed me dry right now..."

Just as the two sides were about to engage in a fierce battle, the leading assault dragon suddenly paused. It stopped the group from launching their charge, looked at Chen Yan with a puzzled expression, and twisted its head back and forth.

The more Chen Yan looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. When it tentatively raised its head, revealing a patch of hair on its neck that was neither long nor short, and a few bald patches, Chen Yan immediately remembered it.

It was that Assault Dragon that was almost blown up by the Slime Slime!

Seeing the swaying dragon, Chen Yan sheathed his sword. He knew that doing good deeds would always bring good fortune. Look, the dragon has come to repay his kindness!

Chen Yan strode forward and haphazardly stroked the dragon's head.

To save its life, they almost shaved it bald. After a long time, it has grown a beautiful new coat of fur, but the lengths are uneven and it doesn't look very good.

Judging from what Assault Dragon meant, it seemed she wanted him to take care of her again.

After a lot of effort from Chen Yan and Hua Miao, it successfully went bald again...

But I have a place to sleep tonight.

We followed them to a narrow cave between two mountains, ate a fairly palatable meal of mixed grass roots, and then the sun completely set.

Beneath him was a blanket made of Assault Dragon fur, and several warm Assault Dragon cubs lay on top of him. Apart from the occasional noisy roars and shouts of the sleepless dragons, he slept relatively soundly.

After saying goodbye to the swarm of Assault Dragons, Chen Yanhua continued to follow the Scoutflies to track the trail of the Sky Wyvern. The journey was quite peaceful, so peaceful that it felt as if the hunters had swept through the area, completely different from what he had imagined—that he would have to overcome numerous obstacles.

He thought he would have to fight all the berserk monsters, big and small, in the Elder's Recess.

After winding their way through various rugged paths, the guideworms, having caught enough of the scent of the Sky Comet Dragon, suddenly emerged and merged with the guideworms that were pursuing the Sky Returning Dragon, eventually leading them to a bottomless sinkhole.

Chen Yan could tell at a glance that this was a crater created by the collision of the adorable star flying into the sky by the Tianhui Dragon, obviously because he and the Tianhui Dragon jumped down one after the other.

The guide insects also descended straight down, but Hua Miao and Chen Yan stood in front of a sinkhole, looking at each other, both hesitant to take a step.

Looking down from above, all you can see is black; you have no idea how deep the pit is. If you land there and are smashed to pieces, you'll probably have trouble finding even a single intact fragment.

"How about we go back and talk to those assault dragons and borrow some of their fur to make a rope?"

Hua Miao suggested it, and Chen Yan agreed. The two of them started heading back.

Little did they know that no sooner had Chen Yan and his group left than the Dragon Assault Group encountered its greatest crisis ever.

A ferocious-looking monster, covered in dark brown scales from head to tail, breathing long and deep, whose mere gaze was enough to terrify a group of assault dragons, was blocking the entrance.

The strong and sharp wing claws scratched at the ground, easily tearing open the solid volcanic rock.

Its gaze lingered on the horns atop the heads of the attacking dragons. It wasn't particularly hungry; it just wanted to borrow some of their bones to sharpen its teeth.

Just as it was about to pounce and wreak havoc, it suddenly smelled a familiar scent. It paused, then used one claw to pin the strange-looking, bald-headed assault dragon down and sniff it intensely.

It didn't smell wrong.

It smells like Chen Yan's cooking.

Chapter 230 of the large-scale Monster Hunter documentary, "Black Rathalos Can't Get Hurt," continues to air.

When the Assault Dragon was pinned down by the Black Tigrex, known for its ferocity and bloodlust, it knew it was in grave danger. Just as it was preparing to sacrifice itself to save its kind, the Black Tigrex unexpectedly released it.

When it smelled Chen Yan's scent, the Black Dragon's eyes first lit up with ecstasy, but then dimmed. It tried to open its mouth, but its breath produced a hoarse noise like banging a broken gong or hammering a shattered drum.

It is now stronger than it was in the desert.

Whether it's the volcanic rock components mixed in with the newly formed scales, or the heart and lungs that have become stronger due to intense battles, even their strength has increased significantly.

Becoming stronger comes at a price; it inhales too much volcanic ash and toxic gas. Although its liver can metabolize some of the toxins, it doesn't completely eliminate them, and the toxins accumulate more and more in its body.

The first thing I couldn't stand was its loud voice, which it was so proud of.

If a "roaring black tiger" can't roar, can it still be considered a black tiger?

It lost interest in grinding its teeth and left under the watchful eyes of the group of Assault Dragons. But before they could rejoice in their escape, the Black Tigrex, which hadn't gone far, suddenly turned back, pushed aside the group of Assault Dragons, and plunged into the deepest part of the cave.

Then, it stumbled a few steps outside and hid.

We have to run; the innermost part is where the Assault Dragon poops, and it smells pretty bad.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the group of Assault Dragons, Chen Yan and Hua Miao suddenly appeared outside the cave shortly afterward.

They greeted us and carried a large pile of lichens and moss, which were their snacks, before ducking in.

"Old Baldy, I need to ask you something. I'd like to borrow some dragon whiskers from your tribe. I'll braid them into a rope; I see you all have heat rash on your necks, this will help you cool off..."

Chen Yan suddenly paused, his eyes fixed on the dark, seemingly dead figure inside the cave.

The "dragon-seeking antenna" beneath him moved.

Judging from its size, it should be about the same size as a small horned dinosaur.

Judging from her skin color, she is exactly the same as Mrs. Triceratops.

But that tail, which couldn't be hidden and was thin, sharp, and barbed, didn't look like the tail axe of a horned dragon; it looked more like the gun barrel of a Tiger II heavy tank that refused to admit defeat.

"Oh ho ho, what's gotten into you? You're even shy now, aren't you...?"

Chen Yan walked towards the Black Dragon. The Black Dragon knew it had been discovered. It looked up at him and retreated repeatedly until it was almost touching the latrine and had nowhere left to go. Then, it had no choice but to "very shyly" push a few stones out.

"Hmm, that's a very Darkrai Dragon-like way to greet someone."

Chen Yan exclaimed in admiration, "The stones it pushes are still as powerful and heavy as cannonballs."

Chen Yan dodged and weaved, getting close enough to not give it another chance to push the stone. He rushed up to it in a few steps and expertly rubbed the fluffy, soft "cute cat ear" on the back of its head.

In just a few moments, the Black Raptor was groaning and sprawled on the ground like a limp rag doll, completely powerless to resist, only able to glare at him with its small eyes.

It seems that even though it has become a Black Diablos, its weaknesses haven't changed...
