Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

The battle to stop the Lava Dragon has officially begun!

The hunters skillfully operated their cannons and crossbows, firing almost the instant the majestic, aged roar of the Lavasioth ceased. Cannonballs and heavy crossbow bolts rained down on the Lavasioth's body.

The specially made high-explosive shells caused a violent explosion on His rocky shell, and heavy crossbow bolts spun wildly and drilled into the gaps in the shell. Large chunks of volcanic rock fell down, and the sudden and fierce attack made His advance halt.

Faced with the tiny insects blocking its path, the dying Lava Dragon had little strength to resist and simply walked numbly step by step along the rift.

It wasn't until Azure Star hit its eyeball with a precise shot that it let out a low, angry roar for the first time.

The beard-like appendages on the dragon's chin began to tremble, signifying His wrath.

Slowly lift its front paws, then let it land freely.

Without him exerting any effort, his tens of meters long forepaws, along with the volcanic rock piled on them, fell with the force of a meteorite. The shockwave sent shivers down the spines of hunters within tens of meters.

The cannons under His claws naturally turned into a pile of unrecognizable rubble.

Despite the hunters' relentless bombardment, the Lavasioth easily crushed their first line of defense.

...

"Has the amphibious landing operation begun?"

Chen Yan held up his binoculars, watching the hunters busily climbing up and down the body of the Lava Dragon.

"Hmm, why is one guy going straight up there mining? Is he having an obsessive-compulsive disorder of mining every ore he sees?"

Chen Yan raised his binoculars to try and find traces of Nergigante, but the dense swarms of Acidic Wyverns and Pteranodons in the sky made him dizzy and he couldn't see Nergigante at all.

But Nergigante will definitely appear.

Chen Yan handed the binoculars to Hua Miao. He ate the cat food prepared by the head chef, drank a large bottle of demon medicine, and stuffed the Strength Seed and Strength Pill into his mouth, pressing them against his left and right molars so that he could bite them open and swallow them at any time.

He then sat cross-legged, placed the Flying Dragon Blade [Red Leaf] on his lap, and took deep breaths in a circular motion, trying to get his body used to the increased strength from the cat food and demon medicine, gradually raising his condition to its peak.

The dragon seemed to sense something as well. It appeared and protected Chen Yan under its wings. Its body color began to change drastically, its mouth churned with venom, and its eyes constantly scanned the sky.

After a few breaths, Chen Yan slowly pushed open the Xialong's wings.

Seeing the restless dragon clinging to his clothes, Chen Yan gently stroked its single horn. After it calmed down, he pointed to a secluded corner in the crater of the dead volcano, whispered a few words of advice, and then slowly disappeared from the spot.

"Go now! Don't think I don't know you haven't left. The front lines are too dangerous for you. Without my signal, you are absolutely not allowed to be exposed!"

Chen Yan nudged the "air," sensing it disappear into a hidden corner.

"Chen Yan! I saw it! So...so fierce! The tough battle you were talking about, you didn't mean fighting that guy, did you?"

Chen Yan looked at the back of the Lava Dragon and immediately recognized it as the Nergigante!

Nergigante, with its single-handed power, fought against the entire recommended group plus a sword master who had intruded from the crowd. With its many abilities that were not yet known to the hunters and its extremely ferocious nature, it overwhelmed everyone, leaving them unable to raise their heads.

"What, Flower Cat, are you scared?"

Chen Yan raised his hand and scattered a cloud of demonic dust, causing him and Hua Miao to breathe slightly heavier.

"Scared? If I were scared, I wouldn't have clung to your leg and insisted on following you back then!"

Flower Cat tossed the binoculars to Chen Yan, then began setting up the battlefield using all four limbs, hopping and skipping around, restoring the Honeybug and the Stop-Moving Bug Cage...

Even from a hundred meters away, the roar of the Nergigante was perfectly clear.

He suddenly spread his wings, and the thorn storm that suddenly appeared shattered the anchor hook that bound the Lavasioth. The Lavasioth was able to crouch down, crush the second barrier, and disappear into the depths of the rift under the unwilling gazes of many hunters.

"Flower Cat, it's our turn!"

"Meow!"

Chen Yan's eyes were fixed on the Nergigante that had returned to the sky. He knew that the Nergigante was absolutely starving at this moment.

Although he was a ferocious ancient dragon who fed on all creatures, including ancient dragons, his main food was the flesh and blood of ancient dragons, which were rich in life energy. He took out a small bag of purple blood from his pocket and was about to crush it with his five fingers.

That's right, it contains the fresh blood of the Elder Dragon species, the Chameleon!

To Chen Yan's surprise, before he could even crush the blood pack, the dark dragon shadow in the sky swooped down at top speed towards him. The wind pressure ruffled his hair, and Chen Yan and Hua Miao retreated one after another. Half a breath later, the volcano that had been dormant for a hundred years trembled violently once again.

A furious, ferocious, and domineering roar tore through the dust. Its blood-red eyes beneath its massive, curved horns stared intently at Chen Yan, and saliva dripped from its hideous, terrifying fangs.

"Hey, Chen Yan, why do I get the feeling that He's more interested in you than you're in Him?"

Flower Cat, gripping the hilt of the Fire Totoro Knife tightly, spoke quietly, but before Chen Yan could answer—

With a flap of its wings and a burst of power from its four thick limbs, the remaining volcanic rock of Nergigante instantly shattered into dust. A dark bolt of lightning ripped through the air and crashed in with unimaginable, terrifying force.

Chen Yan only felt a blur before his eyes, and the enormous horn of the Destroyer Dragon, capable of shattering mountains, appeared right in front of him!

"Iaijutsu!"

Chen Yan and Hua Miao struck almost simultaneously.

The blades at the waists of the man and the cat, trembling incessantly, were also brimming with power. Two slashes, each carrying flames, struck the black and white boundary of the Nergigante's left and right horns with almost perfect precision.

But the flames only clashed with them for a moment before being dispersed. Chen Yan and Hua Miao were sent flying backwards, about to fall off the mountaintop, when at the critical moment a beautiful figure descended from the sky. She caught Chen Yan and Hua Miao in the back, and the two of them and the cat slid for dozens of meters before stopping at the edge of the volcano.

Chen Yan's mouth was filled with the metallic taste of rust. He swallowed the blood, seeds, and pills all at once, and a blush rose on his pale face.

"Hey, Harley, what are you doing here? This is none of your business, get out of here..."

Before she could finish speaking, she received a sharp rap on the head. Harley remained silent, but the taut bowstring and the clicking crossbow spoke volumes.

Chen Yan smiled.

"Looks like I'm going to owe you a huge favor again..."

The Nergigante slightly turned its head, looking at the two people and the cat with its pure, bloodthirsty, and savage eyes. Its teeth trembled slightly, and the sharp teeth made a chilling clicking sound.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate..."

Chen Yan and Hua Miao simultaneously sheathed their swords, crouched down, and channeled their power between their legs. The two of them crushed the pebbles beneath them and charged towards the Nergigante from the left and right.

Using all four limbs and concealing the knife within, the cat transformed into a black and white cat-cart, roaring as it charged towards the Nergigante!

Chen Yan returned his blade to its sheath, each step faster and heavier than the last, his eyes fixed fearlessly on the eyes of the Extinction Dragon, the trembling sheath accumulating a devastating blow!

Just as the man and the cat were about to draw their blades, a burst of exciting music suddenly rang out, and another graceful figure swirling with guide insects fell from the sky!

Naomi brandished her uniquely designed hunting whistle, and with the support of her rousing music, the blades, which were almost out of control, became a little more stable, allowing them to pour more power into them.

"Hidden Knife Style!"

The Nergigante swung its thorny left claw, but a ghostly arrow suddenly flew in and bypassed its layers of black thorns, embedding itself firmly in the flesh of its left shoulder.

A divine arrow diminished His strength by a third.

Immediately following, a streak of light, almost seamlessly merging into one, pierced the sky and struck the left claw of the Extinction Dragon with the force of a thunderbolt.

It only lasted a moment before the black thorns on its left claw cracked under the strain. With Chen Yan and Hua Miao's angry shouts, the Nergigante's left claw was forced down, and its massive body was also forced back half a step by the sharp blade energy.

Chen Yan and Hua Miao retreated to avoid the flying sharp thorns. Melodious music started playing, and he and Hua Miao were recovering their strength.

Then he got another flick on the head.

"Chen Yan, I will definitely beat you to death."

Naomi withdrew her hand and gripped the hunting whistle tightly once more.

The long-awaited battle ignited her passion, as if she had returned to the days of fighting and killing in the underground black market of the old continent.

She was smiling happily.

"But that is, if we can get back alive."

Chapter 61 If only he were a little braver now...

Three people and one cat, ready for battle.

However, the blood-red eyes of the Nergigante remained fixed on Chen Yan, completely ignoring everyone else and the cat. Its long, thin, triangular tongue licked its sharp teeth, and thick saliva dripped continuously from the corners of its mouth.

The cat, having failed to attract any hatred, took the opportunity to catch its breath; the dragon's charge attack from the Nergigante had almost knocked the sweet potato out of its belly.

It patted Chen Yan's calf with its tail and frantically winked at him.

"Aren't you the one who loves to flirt with monsters? I think this monster over there is quite good-looking. Look at those big, thick horns, look at those big arms, look at all those black spikes..."

"As the saying goes, a fat dragon brings wealth; even if it doesn't make you rich, it can still bring good fortune to your home. Chen Yan, hurry up and use your charm to win him over!"

At Hua Miao's urging, Chen Yan carefully examined the sheep opposite him and actually slowly put away his knife.

Then he unleashed his signature move.

With his arms outstretched and a smile on his face, Chen Yan actually walked towards Nergigante, much to Naomi's astonishment.

"Hey, are you crazy..."

Just as Naomi was about to stop them, she was stopped by Flower Cat and Harley. She was puzzled, but she saw a lot of expectation in the eyes of the two.

"Could it be that..."

Naomi thought of Chen Yan and Xia Long.

Chen Yan also made the decision to take the risk after much deliberation.

Judging from the final quest being "to the ends of the earth with my beloved" rather than "to the ends of the earth chasing after my beloved," this Nergigante is most likely a soft and sweet female. Since she's soft and sweet...

If he were a little braver now, would things be different in the future?

Faced with Chen Yan, who had suddenly lost his hostility and was slowly walking towards Him, a hint of doubt flashed in the fierce eyes of the Extinction Dragon, and it even tilted its head slightly in a rather cute and fierce way.

The last monster that seemed so eager to die was that bald-headed scratching bird, wasn't it?

Seeing that Nergigante was looking at Chen Yan with its head turned to the side, without barking or getting angry, the tense battlefield atmosphere eased slightly. Flower Cat quickly gave Naomi a look.

"Quick, play some flirty tunes!"

Naomi swore she had never seen such an outrageous scene or heard such an outrageous request in her life.

Harley, who had accompanied Chen Yan on his adventures, was not surprised. She lowered her crossbow slightly and watched Chen Yan operate it with even greater anticipation.

If Chen Yan takes down this guy, wouldn't she be able to do whatever she wants at the stronghold?

Naomi gently waved her hunting whistle, and the soft, gentle melody echoed across the volcano's summit. Flower Cat cleared her throat and began to sing—

"Little Dragon's Nest with its black fur~ is your most beautiful mark~ Chen Yan can't sleep every day~ missing your smile~ you don't know~ how important you are to Chen Yan~ with you~ life is just right, meow~"

As Chen Yan slowly walked in, the Nergigante began to turn its head more frequently, its four toes scratching haphazardly at the volcanic rock.

Chen Yan noticed that in just a few seconds, the missing thorn on its left claw had grown back and was gradually turning black.
