Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

The blade whistled, aiming straight for Hua Miao's head. However, Hua Miao only slowed down slightly, allowing the fully charged spinning slash to strike the side of Chen Yan's blade steadily. The immense force caused Chen Yan to stagger.

With just one move, Hua Miao exposed a fatal flaw in Chen Yan.

"Let go, or die!"

Finally, a legitimate opportunity to beat Chen Yan up appeared. Hua Miao was so excited that her tongue was sticking out. Seeing that Chen Yan refused to let go, a cruel look appeared in Hua Miao's eyes.

"Today I'm going to carve the word 'misery' all over your legs to vent my anger at you for not letting me sleep properly!"

The cat's claws pressed down, aiming directly at Chen Yan's thigh.

It's that wretched thigh!

Last night, it kept getting tangled up with Harley's thighs, leaving it nowhere to sleep!

I'll bleed you a little, and see if you dare disturb your cat master's sleep tonight!

Flower Cat had lofty ideals, but the sound of wind crashing down on its head shattered them.

Chen Yan was originally thrusting with one hand, but when the side of the blade was struck and his center of gravity was off balance, he immediately used his other hand to tightly grip the last section of the hilt.

With his powerful waist strength, he forcefully absorbed the reverse force of the blade, then gritted his teeth and slashed down with all his might, sacrificing his kidney essence to achieve this fierce counterattack.

The cat didn't look up; it just ducked and bent over to avoid the attack. Its supple body twisted at an incredible angle, almost burying its head between its legs. Just as it finished moving, it heard the tip of the knife slam into the sand.

The cat rolled away to dodge Chen Yan's left and right slashing attacks. It was a close call, and it was only because Chen Yan's blade wasn't sharpened and he didn't have much sword energy that he managed to take at least a few bites off the cat.

It wasn't over yet. It knew that Chen Yan's basic skills were very solid. What it was about to face was a relentless barrage of attacks. If it were in its place, it would also choose to suppress Chen Yan to death in one fell swoop.

Therefore, we have no choice but to take a risk and resort to a drastic measure.

Just as it rolled to the ground with its legs touching the ground, it decisively released its pent-up strength, even straightening its tail to help it.

Flower Cat sprang to its feet, gripping the hilt of the knife tightly with both paws, pouring all its strength into it, and roared, "Dragon Ascension!"

Chen Yan, who was following the rules and gradually sharpening his blade, immediately started cursing.

"Who taught you how to perform a close-quarters dragon strike???"

"Let's go!"

As Hua Miao's blade fell, a clear gray-white slash mark was visible. Although Chen Yan angrily cursed Hua Miao for lacking martial ethics, he didn't want to take such a blow for nothing and had to sheathe his blade and retreat.

The air exploded with a deafening roar, and the whistling of blades was ear-piercing.

After landing in mid-air, the cat was panting heavily. This mid-air landing had exhausted at least half of its strength, but it had finally shaken off Chen Yan's relentless pursuit.

It's worth it.

The two dragon-slaying beasts that witnessed the whole thing stretched their necks and widened their eyes.

What kind of move is that? How is it executed?

As seasoned katana users, they could naturally see that the move was extremely powerful. If they used the Crimson Tail Blade with its maximum activation to unleash that move, could they split the opposing brother/brother in two?

The older brother, Long, even tried to interrupt Chen Yan and Hua Miao's match with a roar, but before he could open his mouth, his younger brother, Long, bit him.

The older dragon, whose microphone was forcibly muted, wanted to retaliate, but it understood immediately when it saw the younger dragon's eyes. The two dragons didn't dare to breathe and quietly lay back down, but their eyes were wide open, not missing any detail.

Seeing his older brother Long's unusually quiet demeanor, the younger brother Long was slightly taken aback.

This seems to be the same as it used to be.

The two brothers used to lie obediently in their nest, waiting for their father dragon to return from hunting. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, their father dragon would teach them some fighting skills.

Back then, the two little ones were very close. They not only fought every day, but also had to sleep together in each other's arms every night.

Unlike now, although they still fight, they haven't cuddled together to sleep in a long time.

It seems that ever since its father, the dragon, went missing after it was delirious from excess internal heat and went to challenge Teostra, it has never slept cuddling with its brother again...

Chapter 43: I won the lottery!

A man and a cat stand facing each other, each holding a knife.

Chen Yan breathed steadily and, with a standard knife-holding posture—right hand firmly gripping the middle of the handle and left hand loosely holding the end of the handle—slowly walked towards Hua Miao.

This sword-wielding stance is both offensive and defensive, and it is the starting move for many of the katana swordsman's combos. No matter what tricks Flower Cat plays, he has to find a way to break through the wooden sword in his hand.

Hua Miao, who also walked towards Chen Yan, was much more casual.

It was breathing rapidly, dragging its knife with one claw, its trembling little flowery arm making the sand path the knife tip cut crooked, its eyebrows drooping and its little tongue lolling out, looking like it was about to collapse from exhaustion.

But the two of them, one human and one cat, must have more than eight hundred schemes between them.

That's what Chen Yan thought.

"That fat thief, Flower Cat, is cunning and treacherous. He revealed his weakness after just one battle. Judging from his darting eyes, he must be plotting something again. I will use righteousness to overcome evil and slay him under the dragon."

This is what Flower Cat thinks.

"Fourth brother Chen Yan, bullying the weak with his big body, forced me to exert myself in a futile effort after just one fight. Watch me use my dragging knife technique to feign weakness, wait for his guard to drop, and then strike with righteousness to overpower evil and cut him down."

The person and the cat gradually drew closer.

Chen Yan stared intently at the cat's right paw, which was dragging the wooden sword. He was ready to unleash a swift, decisive strike the moment the cat made a move...

But he was almost at the cat's face, yet it still wouldn't make a move. Seeing that if he got any closer, he would have to use his katana as a staff, Chen Yan couldn't hold back any longer and made the first move.

Just as he was about to test Flower Cat with another surprise attack, the sun came out.

During the earlier competition, the sunlight was blocked by a menacing cloud. As the sun rose higher, the cloud lost its effect, and the scorching sunlight once again shone on this yellowish-brown desert.

The moment the sun came out, Chen Yan knew something bad was about to happen.

He had been tricked by that fat thief again without even realizing it!

Because the sudden sunlight was shining directly into his eyes, in order to avoid the sunlight, he subconsciously shifted his gaze, which was focused on the flower cat, an inch to the left.

It was this tiny movement of his eyes that made him suddenly realize that half of Hua Miao's body was gone from his sight.

The cat, who had been dawdling for half a day, was waiting for this moment when the sun would come out.

"Aha, take this Great Spinning Slash!"

The cat's weak steps and movements disappeared. It let out an angry meow, dragging the wooden sword with its paws in a 360-degree spin around its body, pouring all its strength into the wooden sword and making it whistle as it struck Chen Yan's thigh.

Flower Cat is really going all out to get a good night's sleep tonight!

Chen Yan's eyesight was failing, but his ears were perked up, and he naturally heard the sound of the blade whistling past.

If it were a powerhouse of Azure Star's level, they could probably tell the target of Flower Cat Wood Blade with just one ear, but Chen Yan is still one Azure Star away from being an Azure Star.

He could only instinctively lunge to the left.

Good news! Not only did he escape the attack, but the sunlight was no longer shining directly on him, and he could see again.

The bad news is that instead of holding back, Flower Cat has poured all its remaining strength into this missed strike.

"It will make the swallows return!"

Chen Yan, who had mastered the three moves of Flower Cat, could see through its thoughts at a glance. Even if he hadn't mastered the three moves, he could still recognize it, since Flower Cat had used this move in front of Chen Yan at least eight hundred times, if not a thousand.

Flower Cat knew that Chen Yan knew it wanted to use the Swallow Return technique, so it could only desperately squeeze out every last bit of strength hidden in the base of its tail!

Success or failure hinges on this one move!

What is meant by "swallows returning"?

Among birds, the swallow is known for its flying speed.

This move can be used to slash at swallows. It is all about speed. With an extremely fast blade speed, you slash down and then bounce back to slash again. It is so fast that even a nimble swallow has nowhere to hide. You can slash twice in an instant.

But Flower Cat took a different approach. It knew that it had short arms and a fat body, so its knife-wielding speed was not fast, or even slow.

Therefore, it abandons the power of its downward strike and focuses all its energy on the upward strike power when it bounces off the ground.

At that moment, the blade was only a split second away from touching the ground.

"Should we clash with the Swallow Return in terms of power? Or should we use the Hidden Blade Slash to catch it off guard? Or perhaps we should try the third move?"

Numerous solutions flashed through Chen Yan's mind, but as he landed on the ground and supported himself with one hand, a sudden inspiration struck him.

"Hmm, the shipment has been completed?"

His hand, pressed against the ground, seemed to have a jade-like luster, as if he had touched something precious.

[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.

"Never mind, whether we win or lose, it all depends on what we can get with this move!"

Chen Yan shoved his fingers into the sand and felt something rough and oval-shaped. He didn't have time to figure it out because the sound of Hua Miao's knife hitting the ground was already echoing in his ears.

Chen Yan threw what he had dug up directly at Hua Miao, but Hua Miao, who had already used Swallow Return, didn't care about this or that!

Anyone who dares to stand in its way will be cut down, you bastard!

The sandstorm that had been carrying the mysterious object dissipated, and it was finally fully exposed to Chen Yan, Hua Miao, Brother Dragon, Brother Dragon, and Harley.

Upon witnessing its magnificent appearance, everyone, including the dragon, was stunned, except for the cat.

With a sinister grin, Hua Miao didn't hold back at all. The wooden sword, now imbued with immense force, was faster than a steel blade, cleaving the creature in two.

Sparks drifted by, and a sudden, pungent smell of lava and sulfur filled Chen Yan's nostrils.

What he pulled out was a firebomb that had inexplicably failed to detonate!

"【Golden Claw】is a killer! If I ever try to win the lottery again, I'm a dog!"

The Blazing Fireball is made from rust and dull debris that adheres to the tail blade of a Glavenus after it has cooled down from its red-hot state. When Glavenus grinds it with its teeth, it swallows this debris into its Flame Sac and mixes it with lava. When it spits it out, it becomes the incredibly powerful Blazing Fireball.

According to an unknown hunter, taking a bullet to the face from a cannon would have terrible consequences.

Now it was Chen Yan and his team's turn to discuss the consequences of slashing an unexploded cannon with a knife.

The air suddenly distorted, and Chen Yan and Hua Miao only had time for one last look before they were swallowed up by the violent explosion.

The half-charred wooden knife fell to the ground in a perfect arc, sparks flying from the broken blade.

The sudden explosion even made the older and younger brothers, Long and Long, prop themselves up halfway and stare at the battlefield with their mouths agape.

Then the older dragon reacted first. It roared impatiently and turned around to bite the nose of the younger dragon, the "culprit".

The younger brother, Long, retaliated quickly, spitting fire directly at his "real criminal," the older brother, Long.

The two dragons, locked in a furious battle, seemed to be accusing each other of spitting out the Calamity Cannon.
