Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

Their impurity-laden tail blades slammed into each other's skulls, and Chen Yan clearly heard the sound of their shells shattering.

Blood dripped down, and despite each other's tail blades pointing at their heads, neither moved or howled. They glared hatefully at each other before collapsing to the ground together.

Harley frowned again upon seeing this.

"Chen Yan, didn't you say they could only win? They both look exhausted and collapsed..."

"You don't understand. This is the mutual respect between swordsmen. A worthy opponent to fight with all your might is more precious than anything else..."

"Flower Cat, aren't you right?"

The cat, which had been stunned for a long time, suddenly jumped up. It gestured with its paws, its expression fanatical, and it almost shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! That's it!!!"

Chen Yan was startled by Hua Miao's reaction, but he was overjoyed because Hua Miao hadn't contradicted him and had even given him a rare compliment. Just as he was about to treat Hua Miao to a big meal that evening, a bubble suddenly appeared in his mind.

Unlike the pale white of the baby horned dinosaur with only a few blue bubbles, it was an incomparably pure blue from the inside out.

[Zhanlong issues a quest: Good will prevail over evil!]

[We were both taught by the same father, so I can't break his moves! Father! Why didn't you tell me who was the strongest between me and my brother before you died!]

[Compensation for the commission: Crimson Flame Pouch/Fire Cannon/Strong Fire Resistance/Mastery of all three sword techniques (sweeping, downward slash, thrust)/Iai Slash Blade]

Chen Yan's eyes twitched violently; a big job was about to begin.

The two people and the cat who left the Dragon Slayer battlefield were all somewhat silent.

The cat continued gesturing wildly as if possessed, and in its haste, it even grabbed its taut tail and swung it a few times.

It became happier and happier as it chopped, even more so than when it first ate the enormous, luxurious rice ball with tuna, ham, and grilled meat.

"That's it! That's it!!"

If Chen Yan and Harley were to observe the erratic Flower Cat closely, they would likely notice that its swings were remarkably similar to the final strike it made before Zhanlong was exhausted.

But Chen Yan was focused on studying the mission of slaying the dragon.

No wonder the two dragons not only look almost identical, but they also use the same moves and have the same stubborn, unyielding temperament. It turns out they were born from the same dragon father.

Judging from the mission description, it seems that the task is to find a way to help the twin dragons determine which one is stronger.

Chen Yan glanced at the lavish mission rewards, any one of which would be extremely useful when facing Nergigante.

He swallowed hard and clenched his fist tightly.

"Alright, what your Dragon Father didn't finish, I, Chen Yan, will finish!"

Harley was also somewhat distracted. She would glance at the crossbow from time to time, and then steal a look at the katana on Chen Yan's back, her eyes full of envy.

Who hasn't dreamed of slaying a dragon?

Complex thoughts weighed on his mind, ultimately culminating in a somewhat desolate sigh.

"If I had persisted just a little bit more back then, just a tiny bit more, would things be different now...?"

Although no trace of Mrs. Blackhorn was found, everyone gained something, more or less.

They finally made their way back to the camp just as the sun was about to set.

Harley went in, then came out, then went in again, then came out again, then went in again...

"Did you encounter a bug?"

Chen Yan, who was standing behind her, squeezed in sideways, and one glance almost made him vomit blood.

The campsite, which was neat and tidy when I left this morning, has now been completely turned into a battlefield ruin by the little horned dragons.

The perfectly good animal skin tent was torn to shreds, the cotton from the quilt was scattered all over the ground, the piled firewood was rolling everywhere, and the sawdust and broken leaves made people cough. Even the stone stove and benches could not escape its wrath.

The phrase "the pot overturned and the stove collapsed, ruining the home" is not an exaggeration at all.

Harley still couldn't believe her eyes and kept going in and out of the doorway, encountering bugs, until she saw Chen Yan find the culprit from the ruins.

The little horned dinosaur that had destroyed its home was sleeping soundly.

Harley's anger surged to the top of her head. Just as she rolled up her sleeves, ready to give the little horned dragon a taste of human rage, she saw Chen Yan let out a soft sigh of relief.

He held the baby horned dinosaur, gently stroking its soft little head, his smile tender and indulgent.

"Thank goodness the little guy isn't hurt."

Harley's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

Chapter 33 It's Different!

"You're silly. You have to go through here and then come back here, just like I did."

Harley turned around, and the two sat facing each other. The little horned dragon, which had been nestled on Chen Yan's lap, rolled over and lay comfortably on its back on their crossed legs, fast asleep.

Chen Yan tore off a piece of cloth and covered its navel.

Harley's hands were nimble and her movements swift; the two pieces of cloth were quickly pieced together, stitched together with fine threads, as if they had never been separated.

Chen Yan followed suit and sewed, albeit barely, with only occasional small or medium-sized holes.

Flower Cat was no good; its claws were too sharp and short to hold a small sewing needle. When it got impatient, it would scratch and bite, making things worse and not helping at all. Chen Yan sent it to sweep the floor.

Watching Chen Yan and Harley huddled together under the firelight, sewing a tent stitch by stitch, Hua Miao rubbed her little nose, muttering to herself as she haphazardly rummaged around with a broom.

Wood chips, rotten grass, and clumps of dark cotton were swept up. In the pitch black, the cat couldn't see what it had swept up, but it swept everything into the corner puddle.

The pool connected to the underground river was murky for a moment, but soon became clear again.

As it swept, it sensed something again, and after waving the broom around a few times, a hazy white light appeared on the broom handle. Just as the white light was gradually spreading upwards, it suddenly heard the sound of a pot lid being lifted.

Nothing is more important than eating.

"Chen Yan, what are we having for dinner tonight? I'm starving!"

Hua Miao excitedly ran over to take a look, only to see Chen Yan breaking off wild vegetable roots and throwing them into the pot. Its heart sank, and when it peered into the pot again, its heart sank completely.

Sure enough, a few wilted wild vegetables floated listlessly in the half-cooked pot of clear broth. There was no trace of meat, not even a speck of oil.

The cat was furious and raised its paw to overturn the pot, but after thinking about it, it couldn't bear to do it and went to hug the baby horned dragon drinking milk at its feet.

It grinned maliciously and was about to throw the baby horned dragon into the pot.

"Get out of the way, your cat master is adding some meat to dinner!"

The baby horned dinosaur didn't make it into the pot as hoped, and it ended up with two bumps on its head.

While Chen Yan and Harley were still politely debating who should eat the slightly thicker wild vegetable root in their bowls, Hua Miao had already emptied the pot and slyly slipped into the half-sewn tent.

The tent was half the size of the original one. Chen Yan originally planned to let Harley and Flower Cat sleep inside while he found a corner to take a nap. However, after Harley went in, she reached out and pulled him in as well.

The space is cramped; it's difficult for one person to lie down comfortably, let alone two.

They could only lie sideways close together, looking at each other, with Flower Cat and Little Horned Dragon sandwiched between them.

For a moment, only the sound of their breathing echoed in the tent, and the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat strange.

Looking into Harley's sparkling eyes, Chen Yan sensed that she was acting a little strange tonight.

Without going too far, if it were yesterday, she would have already laughed at his clumsy sewing, but tonight she was all smiles and giving him instructions.

At dinner, he would have probably just had a bowl of clear soup in the past, but this time he noticed that Harley had quietly taken all the wild vegetables from her bowl and given them to him.

It's even stranger now.

Harley never took off her clothes and hat when she slept; she was always wrapped up tightly, as if she had transformed into a green, venomous bird, using the two big eyes on the brim of her hat to keep watch.

But this time, she took off her Poison Bird hat, spread out her beautiful hair, and hummed a song that Chen Yan couldn't understand, half-heartedly coaxing the little horned dragon and the flower cat to sleep.

Chen Yan tried to calm his wildly beating heart, but the deeper he breathed, the faster it beat.

"Strange, is this mushroom with such a rapid heartbeat really that powerful...?"

I drifted off to sleep, only to be woken up by the cat stepping on me while I was still half asleep.

Chen Yan opened one eye and first saw Hua Miao carrying the little horned dragon sneaking out, then he saw Harley sleeping wildly and her exposed cleavage right in front of him.

To avoid touching something he shouldn't and getting slapped again, Chen Yan yawned and crawled out of the tent.

He had barely stepped out of the tent when Harley sat up abruptly, watching Chen Yan's departing figure with a mixture of shame and resentment in her eyes.

She pulled out her notebook and looked at the words of wisdom from her mother recorded inside: "We're all hunters, we might be dead tomorrow. What's with all this fuss about being ambiguous? Just listen to me, go for it!"

She has already done everything she could, so why is no one else stepping up?

"Mother, this is not what you taught me!"

Harley is going crazy.

The little horned dinosaur made incoherent noises, curiously observing the outside world.

The cat standing opposite it gripped a handful of dry grass stalks. With a deep breath, it shook the stalks, and the originally limp grass stalks suddenly became taut. Then it adopted a starting stance that Chen Yan had never seen before.

It stood upright with its legs spread shoulder-width apart and its tail close to its back, standing like a stubborn rock.

Its right hand gripped the withered grass stalk tightly, and with each breath, a hazy white light emanated from the stalk. Its eyes were fixed on the little horned dragon, and its arm was slightly raised, as if it were waiting for some opportunity.

Just as a dewdrop fell from a blade of grass at its feet, it moved.

The speed of the twitching was extremely fast, which was somewhat similar to its previous move, "Hidden Knife Slash," where the knife was revealed and then slashed. As it exerted force with its wrist, the moment the grass stalk was fully exposed, the white light wrapped around it suddenly shone brightly.

It gritted its teeth, and although it was holding a handful of dry grass as light as a feather, its face was contorted as if it were dragging a heavy mountain.

As the blinding white light reached its limit, it suddenly swung forward, unleashing a visible white blade of energy that shot straight towards the little horned dragon.

With a sharp whooshing sound, the blade energy transformed into a streak of light across the sky, moving at an extremely fast speed, like a thunderclap tearing through the air. Wherever it passed, ravines appeared on the ground, and gravel and sand flew everywhere.

Chen Yan was shocked to see the little horned dragon exposed to the Flower Cat's blade aura.

Just as he was about to rush to the rescue, he saw the flower cat flick the grass stalk in its claws with great elegance. The stalk straightened and instantly turned into ashes and vanished. The sharp blade energy it had unleashed also disappeared into thin air. The strong wind only caused the little horned dragon to tumble over.

Flower Cat took a deep breath and returned its empty hands to their sheaths.

This set of movements is clean and crisp, and the entire movement is performed while maintaining a standing posture. There is no jumping or leaping in the first move "Swallow Return" and the second move "Hidden Knife Slash". It is as if the slash just now was only a fleeting moment, showing its composure and power.

Looking at the cat with its eyes closed, brows furrowed, and claws still waving incessantly, Chen Yan had to admit that it was really putting on an act.

It seems the head chef was also dressed in black and white?
