Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

Harley squeezed the restless oval beetle in her hand and, from a distance, accurately tossed it into the basket on Chen Yan's back.

These things aren't necessarily inedible; you just need to break off their long, whip-like tentacles, throw them over a fire, and roast them for about ten seconds until they're cooked.

However, it tastes like tree bark, bitter, astringent, and hard. If you're lucky enough to find one that bursts with juice, the taste is even more indescribable.

"No, it's for... Yes, that's right. Actually, I'm also good at roasting insects. I guarantee it will open your eyes."

"Oh fine."

Chen Yan glanced at Harley guiltily. With Harley's intelligence, how could she not see through his incredibly weak answer? But she didn't react or ask any further questions, and continued to hold the beetle tightly.

After filling their baskets to the brim, the two flew back to the Sand Dragon. Suddenly, Chen Yan's hand slipped, and the basket fell right in front of the Sand Dragon. The Sand Dragon quickly devoured all the beetles they had painstakingly caught.

Chen Yan was extremely annoyed and apologized to Harley repeatedly, but Harley just shrugged and said, "It's a pity I won't be able to enjoy this food," and that was it.

Chen Yan rubbed his hands together in secret, and after the spinning wheel stopped, he finally received his first offensive mission reward amidst his eager anticipation.

[Rocket Headbutt]

[Rocket Headbutt]: When you charge forward ten meters headfirst and hit someone, they'll laugh. When you charge forward a hundred meters headfirst and hit someone, they'll dodge. But when you charge forward a thousand meters headfirst and hit someone, you simply can't stop. Blind spots, I thought it was a speed bump... Well, tell your insurance company... We're all trying our best to live...

The reward bubble burst, and unlike before, this time a scorching warm current swirled around his forehead.

On the unseen front of the skull, most of the warm current adhered to it, and its color seemed to have changed. A small portion went to the front and back of the skull, turning into elastic ligaments that wrapped around the brain. The transformation was completed in a few breaths.

Harley couldn't hide Chen Yan's head-shaking and swaying movements from him. She reached out and touched Chen Yan's forehead with concern, as if she was afraid he was sick.

This isn't right.

Chapter 25 The Dung Monster Attacks!

Chen Yan held her hand, pretending not to see the dark, unidentified object she was holding in her palm.

"Harley, I'm fine, it's just that the wind is a bit strong and messed up my hair."

Harley deftly dodged his blocking hand and continued to relentlessly touch his forehead.

"No, I said you have something to do, so you do. Stop talking nonsense and let me pat your head."

The two were locked in fierce combat beneath the pterosaur, completely unaware that the pterosaur had begun to fly erratically, unknowingly carrying them into a cloud formation.

As the sun sets, its afterglow bathes the entire wasteland of the giant anthills, and the sweltering air of the day finally becomes a bit cooler. Some nocturnal monsters also begin to hunt for food.

For example, this floating dragon subspecies that just flew out of its nest: the Floating Sleeping Dragon.

Its black fur provides perfect natural camouflage in the night, and its neck, which is full of air, bulges out with a huge air sac. There are also red eyeball-shaped patterns on both sides of the air sac, which is quite frightening at first glance.

However, if you observe its true expression, you will find that it is pouting blankly with two big front teeth showing, looking very cute and adorable, with a strong sense of contrast.

Its wings flapped intermittently as it glided slowly toward the hunting grounds.

As a subspecies of the Floating Dragon, it is even better at floating than the Floating Dragon. If it is not for eating, it can float in the sky all day long except when it is sleeping.

After floating around in the sky like a balloon for a while, it finally found its target: a medium-sized ant nest. It slowly exhaled and landed steadily and quietly in front of the nest.

Watching the ants crawling haphazardly on the anthill, its dark pupils brightened slightly; their large, plump appearance made them look delicious.

It slowly moved closer, and with a gentle suck, several transport ants flew up uncontrollably and entered its mouth.

One bite and the sweet and sour juice bursts forth.

After sucking back and forth a few times, about ten transport ants were gone. These few were obviously not enough to eat, but the transport ants had already sensed the danger and retreated back into the ant nest.

This won't stump it.

Inhale deeply, inflating the air sacs on your neck, and exhale forcefully through the entrances at the bottom of the ant nest. Countless transport ants spray out from various openings in the nest.

After landing, the ants wobbled and couldn't stand up, clearly because the hypnotic gas they emitted had taken effect.

The feast of the Floating Dragon has begun again.

Instead of devouring the entire ant nest, it only ate until it was half full before taking another breath and floating up to move on to the next ant nest to eat.

After all, the transporting ants are quite pitiful. Not only are they eaten by it every day, but the Sand Dragon also comes to eat them from time to time, and sometimes the ant nest is smashed to pieces by the Diablos.

It understands the principle of draining the pond to catch all the fish.

However, the Floating Dragon obviously did not notice the faint figure in the clouds above. When Chen Yan realized that a dark shadow had suddenly appeared in front of him, it was too late to avoid it.

An air disaster caused by negligence occurred.

The Pteranodon made an emergency landing. After landing, Chen Yan, Harley, and Hua Miao rolled around and barely managed to avoid the seemingly soft but actually incredibly powerful tail swipe of the Floating Sleeping Dragon.

The flying sand splashed all over Chen Yan's head. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, but instead of drawing it immediately, he cautiously floated in the sky, tilting his head to observe their sleeping dragons.

The original species of the Floating Dragon, the Floating Dragon, is the most docile among the many carnivores on the Coral Plateau. Generally speaking, they will not attack unless provoked. However, Chen Yan did not know whether this principle would apply to the Floating Dragon.

After all, it seems like he and Harley stepped on it several times...

If a fight were to break out, Chen Yan looked left and right, searching for the only item in the Great Ant Mound Wasteland that could restrain it.

Harley stared in shock at the Floating Sleeping Dragon hovering in the sky. She had never seen such a round monster before. If she had to describe it, it looked a lot like—

Just then, I heard Chen Yan's voice.

"Beware of the dung monster! Sleepy rats are not easy to deal with!"

Harley clapped her hands excitedly: "That's right, it looks just like a plush balloon with a mouse face!"

The Floating Dragon was enraged, its bared teeth and snarling appearance becoming extremely ferocious, exuding a level of taunting that made anyone who looked at it grit their teeth in hatred...

It opened its mouth and sprayed a mouthful of milky white hypnotic gas at each of them.

The milky white gas, which seemed lighter than air, fell at an unusually fast speed. Chen Yan covered his nose and ran away, watching with great apprehension as the hypnotic ball, which did not dissipate upon landing but instead formed a large area of ​​gas accumulation.

This is the only terrifying being that can make Azure Star lethargic, have lifeless eyes, stagger, and fall asleep instantly!

"A rat? No matter what kind of rat it is, dealing with rats is my specialty!"

Flower Cat also heard Chen Yan's words. It was overjoyed and instantly felt that the Floating Sleep Dragon was just a piece of meat on a chopping board.

With a katana in its mouth, the cat, using its half-black fur for cover, quietly climbed onto a sand dune.

It gestured a few times, took a deep breath, and leaped up with all its might. The sharp tip of the knife was aimed at its bulging neck, and it grinned as if it was about to deflate it.

The result went smoothly. The Floating Dragon didn't see the Flower Cat's little trick at all. The knife in its hand did stab, but only scraped off a little bit of fur. When it touched the Floating Dragon's skin, it bounced back.

"What kind of rat is this? Its skin is so soft and elastic, it's impossible to pierce it!"

After landing, the Flower Cat, which had attracted the attention of the Floating Sleeping Dragon, turned and ran away. It always made a hit-and-run tactic, but this time its usual strategy ended up causing a disaster for Harley, who was closest to it.

The Floating Dragon showed no intention of landing and pursuing. It floated in the sky, pouting and spewing out puffs of hypnotic gas. The spreading mist quickly buried Harley, who was crouching in the withered grass, aiming with her arm raised.

"Don't inhale its exhaled air, get out quickly!"

Chen Yan shouted outside, but did not hear a response from Harley or Flower Cat. Instead, he heard a "thump" as someone fell to the ground. He didn't know if it was Harley or Flower Cat, but either way, it was very bad.

Because someone fell into a deep sleep, the Floating Dragon's underlying code was triggered, and its inexplicable dung combo is about to begin.

The Floating Dragon inhaled a large amount of air, expanding its body little by little to its limit, and then shook its head as it prepared to slam into the ground.

Don't let its current fluffy and round appearance fool you. If this blow lands squarely, it might break a few bones if you're lucky, or it might be flattened if you're unlucky.

At the critical moment, Chen Yan threw water moss balls one after another. Since the Floating Sleep Dragon is weak in water, the hypnotic gas it spews out is likely to be diluted by water. Sure enough, the hypnotic gas formed by the sleeping mist was dissolved and a gap was created.

The Floating Dragon had expanded to its limit. Although it saw Chen Yan's actions, it didn't care because it had already smashed towards the person lying in the grass.

If he didn't want to get crushed along with his own body, he probably wouldn't have rushed in.

"Take this rocket headbutt!"

Fu Mianlong's thinking was both correct and wrong.

That's right, Chen Yan's speed was indeed slower than its, and it was too late to rescue the person from under its body.

But he was wrong. Chen Yan's target was not the unconscious and critically injured Harley at all, but it!

Chapter 26 The Out-of-Control Dump Truck

The first time I used the rocket headbutt felt strange.

Chen Yan felt dizzy and lightheaded. He tried his best to keep his neck straight so that his face wouldn't hit the ground first. He clenched his fists and pressed them tightly against his chest to maintain his balance. The further forward he ran, the heavier his legs felt, but he still had to drag his legs and keep running.

It was like desperately trying to control an out-of-control dump truck.

In the eyes of the Floating Dragon, Chen Yan suddenly let out a strange cry similar to a steam whistle, then lowered his head and charged towards it. At first, he was like a human being, but after a few steps, he no longer resembled one.

His increasingly wild movements were synchronized with a neighbor in the Floating Dragon's memory.

Its neighbor loved to headbutt dragons, and it had seen it send the unfortunate armored dragon flying into the air more than once.

But its neighbor is a 14-meter-long sand dragon with legs thicker than its waist!

The Floating Dragon couldn't dodge in time and was hit squarely by Chen Yan.

Chen Yan felt as if he had crashed into a semi-soft wall made of asphalt. His entire head disappeared into the swollen fur of the Floating Sleeping Dragon, and his skull and neck made cracking sounds upon impact.

He felt like he'd been hit on the head, seeing stars and almost vomiting again.

But the pent-up energy that made every part of my body ache during the sprint finally found a release.

It's like an out-of-control dump truck hitting a speed bump.

The Floating Dragon let out a wail, a large dent in the swollen fur on its neck. The sudden pressure caused its eyes to bulge, its nostrils and mouth to open wide, and air to rush out of its throat and lungs.

Fortunately, Chen Yan's head wasn't pointed, otherwise it would have poked a big hole in its neck.

Chen Yan was in bad shape, but the Floating Dragon, which had taken the hit from the side, was in even worse shape.

Its balance was broken, and its flight attitude was completely out of control, causing it to crash heavily onto a nearby open space, and then bounce and tumble as it crashed into a sand dune.

Chen Yan held his neck with one hand and hoisted Harley onto his shoulder with the other. He wanted to whistle, but his throat hurt so much that he could barely breathe. Just as he was about to run off in a random direction, he suddenly heard Hua Miao's meow.

"Chen Yan, come quick! There's a pretty deep hole here! Let's hide for a bit!"

The Floating Dragon's hiccup-like roar continued for an entire night.

When Harley woke up after a long-awaited good night's sleep, she saw Chen Yan sleeping in a strange position with his neck wrapped around his shoulder, and Hua Miao saying, "I know he's not feeling well, but I just can't help but want to sleep on him."

Harley frowned. All she remembered was being enveloped by the milky white mist exhaled by the Sleeping Dragon. The mist smelled like gas, and as she smelled it, she felt dizzy. Then everything went black, and she had no further recollection.

"It's amazing that this monster has the ability to hypnotize people."

Harley took out her notebook and carefully recorded the appearance and characteristics of the Floating Sleeping Dragon. Just as she closed the notebook, she saw Chen Yan, his face full of pain, holding his neck and trying to get up.
