Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

"Alright, it's not like Xialong isn't coming back, what's there to be sad about?"

She handed a plate of sliced ​​pork to Chen Yan, while she leisurely munched on an apple, casually flicking two apple seeds that landed squarely on the foreheads of Hua Miao and Harley, who were fighting over the grilled pork tenderloin.

Seeing that Chen Yan, who was usually very talkative, was just eating meat in silence, Naomi smiled slightly, moved her body slightly, leaned close to his ear, tilted her head towards Chen Yan, and spoke in a barely audible voice in his ear.

"If you really can't sleep tonight..."

Both the person and the cat pricked up their ears at the same time, forgetting even about grabbing the best pork tenderloin.

Flower Cat is an Palico that can hear the faintest sounds from several meters away, while Harley is a master of wilderness survival and can accurately hear the female mosquitoes mixed in with the buzzing of a group of male mosquitoes.

Even if Naomi's voice were ten times quieter, she and Flower Cat could still hear it clearly.

The person and the cat exchanged a secret glance, then looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman whispering in each other's ears with an ambiguous look.

"Could it be..."

Just as the two, one human and one cat, were lost in their fantasies, they heard Naomi's next words.

"If you can't sleep, go and tidy up the log warehouse."

"The last attempt to intercept the Lavasioth failed, and many of the artillery and ballistae we laid were ruined. We're also running low on bolts, and the other lumber warehouses are almost empty. The newly felled timber isn't even fully dried yet, so we can only take a batch of logs from there as a temporary measure..."

Disappointed, the man and the cat lowered their ears and resumed their fight over the pork tenderloin.

Naomi rolled her eyes at the two clowns opposite her, gripped the wine bottle, flicked the cork off with her thumb, and handed a bottle of fruit wine to Chen Yan.

"It's windy at night, let's have a drink to warm ourselves up..."

...

Late at night, the cat perched on Chen Yan's shoulder wrapped its black and white fur coat tightly around itself, looking expectantly at the log warehouse.

It didn't want to come at first, but after being persuaded by Naomi that the Xialong might have left some treasure, Flower Cat became more enthusiastic than anyone else upon hearing about the treasure. As soon as the dinner ended, it couldn't wait to drag Chen Yan out the door.

At Flower Cat's insistence, they entered the log warehouse, but instead of going to the Chameleon's lair, they wandered around until they reached the edge of a secluded thicket behind the warehouse.

"Are you sure the toilet is right here? How come it doesn't smell at all?"

Faced with the curious cat peeking out, Chen Yan silently lifted the turf, and a strong smell of feces made the cat look up and burst into tears.

It gritted its teeth, wiped away its tears, brandished its pitchfork, and was about to jump into the sea of ​​dung to dig for treasure without hesitation.

"Flower Cat, are you serious?"

Chen Yan quickly hugged its waist, but the cat only gently patted his hands, its gaze filled with a firmness Chen Yan had never seen before.

Hua Miao took one last deep breath and plunged headfirst into the water without hesitation.

With a "plop," most of its body plunged into the sea of ​​dung.

"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; there's no gain without pain..."

The cat waded through the sea of ​​dung, picking up one clump after another to examine it closely.

"I've heard that the Xialong is the ancient dragon species most capable of condensing precious gems, even large precious gems, within its body. There's a chance that it might excrete them when it eats, drinks, or defecates."

"If I'm lucky enough to find one, we could probably fast-forward straight to our retirement life... It's a deal, if I really find one, I'll give you nine out of ten!"

Flower Cat brandished its pitchfork, determined to thoroughly examine Xia Long's dung.

Chen Yan was about to vomit from watching the clumps of excrement rise and fall, while the cat, deeply immersed in the dung, was completely focused, as if it were a garden rather than a sea of ​​excrement beneath it. It kept one eye on what was flying up and the other on what was below.

It has to be said that its busy silhouette is quite dashing.

This was the first time Chen Yan had ever admired Hua Miao so much.

"Hua Miao, if you really find the precious jade or the great precious jade, you don't need to share it with me. You can keep it for your retirement."

Flower Cat smiled disdainfully and sped up.

"Human, you will regret this."

Chen Yan covered his nose and returned to the Xialong's nest.

Stepping inside, Chen Yan was slightly stunned by the shabby environment. Logs were piled up haphazardly, barely forming a nest. Looking up through the gaps, he could even see the stars and the moon in the sky.

Chen Yan stood at the door, stroking a round log with old marks left by Xia Long when it came in and out.

I've slept here so many times before, how come I only just realized how shabby it is?

"Perhaps it's because he's always sleeping under the wings of the Chameleon..."

Before he could feel sad, he heard the sound of wings flapping as they swept across the sky. From the increasingly loud noise, it was easy to tell that they were coming for him.

Chen Yan gripped the hilt of his sword, stepped out of the Xialong's lair, and looked up. Tonight, there were few clouds in the sky, and the moon was very round and large, so not only did he see the familiar Pink Rathian, but the Pink Rathian also saw the familiar him.

"Great, another punching bag to relieve stress has been delivered to my door."

Chen Yan beckoned to the Pink Rathian, and the Pink Rathian indeed began to fly downwards.

But as it flew, it suddenly stopped, because two faster figures flew out from its left and right.

Their massive bodies landed with perfect grace, barely causing a ripple.

A massive Azure Rathalos and an even larger Pink Rathalos were glaring menacingly at Chen Yan, who remained frozen in place, still waving.

Their pheromones flooded Chen Yan's nasal cavity, and Chen Yan was surprised to find that they were 90% similar to the little Sakura Fire Dragon in the sky.

The truth is self-evident.

"If you can't beat them, you call your parents? That's not very civilized..."

Chapter 70 The Young Lady Has Arrived, Everyone Get Out of the Way!

Compared to the male Rathalos, which is only halfway through its metamorphosis, this Azure Rathalos, whose entire carapace is a deep blue, truly embodies the aura of a Rathalos subspecies.

It slightly opened its mouth, and tiny sparks spewed out from its throat. Even from a distance, Chen Yan could feel a surge of heat coming towards it.

Its wings, folded behind it, are large enough to cover half of its body, and the muscles surrounding its wing bones are frighteningly developed.

The wing membrane is also a vibrant green, with narrow, dark stripes throughout, each part showcasing its unparalleled domineering presence as the "King of the Sky".

Its huge tail, covered in thorns, swung behind it, easily shattering the surrounding logs.

Only its legs seem to be shorter than those of a Rathalos.

Is this why it is less able to move on land than Rathalos?

Azure Rathalos and Chen Yan were still staring at each other, while the Pink Rathalos beside it couldn't help but let out a roar and lowered its head to assume a dragon-carrying stance.

Under the moonlight, its scales scatter an extremely beautiful and enchanting cherry blossom color.

Compared to the Azure Rathalos, which has its weaknesses, the Pink Rathian completely outclasses the original Rathian in every aspect.

Its land combat ability is no less than that of the female Rathalos, its flight ability is also greatly enhanced compared to the female Rathalos, and the temperature of its flames is also much higher, allowing it to fly and launch attacks in a more diverse range of postures.

Its most deadly feature is its enhanced tail thorns, which secrete venom that is more potent and deadly. All these changes make it truly deserving of the title "Queen of the Mysterious Kingdom".

Compared to this real Rathalos, the one flying in the sky is simply too weak.

The Pink Rathalos charged forward, its powerful hind legs propelling it forward, and its massive body went from stillness to sprinting in just a few seconds.

As the oppressive aura of the colossal dragon chariot swept over him, Chen Yan was about to draw his sword in response when he heard a series of crackling sounds of flames exploding overhead.

The Azure Fire Dragon had flown above his head at some point, its mouth open, gathering a massive fireball. Judging from the deep color of the flames, this fireball, if it were to crash down, would probably blast half a warehouse of logs into the air.

Chen Yan stood in front of Xialong's hut, his gaze slightly cold, a touch of orange-red swirling around the blade.

Just as he was about to use his sword skills to deal with the combined attack of Azure Rathalos and Pink Rathian, the little Pink Rathian watching from the sky suddenly let out a short, urgent roar.

Azure Rathalos and Pink Rathian were taken aback. They tilted their heads to look at their beloved daughter above them. Seeing that she was not joking, the two giant beasts' man-eating aura dissipated by more than half.

Chen Yan saw it all clearly.

With a roar from Sakura Fire Dragon, the dragon that had been charging forward with its head down lost most of its strength, transforming from an out-of-control pink dump truck into a pink three-wheeled farm vehicle carrying only a little corn and driving at low speed.

The Azure Fire Dragon above was even more outrageous. With a hiss, it sucked back 90% of the massive fireball, reducing it from the power to blow up half a warehouse to a tiny flame that would struggle to even blast a tree.

Chen Yan guessed what they were thinking.

It seems that this little Charizard didn't want to kill him, but just wanted to use his parents' power to teach him a lesson and avenge the beating he received yesterday.

Since that's the case, Chen Yan is willing to play along with this mischievous and adorable little guy.

Without drawing his sword, he leisurely pressed it against the face of the slowly approaching Pink Rathian. The moment they made contact, the Pink Rathian let out a deafening scream, and with a kick of its legs, it was sent flying at least five meters away.

While floating in the air, he didn't forget to smash the small flames spewed out by the Azure Fire Dragon. To prevent the flickering flames from going out, Chen Yan even stretched out his neck to catch them.

As a result, he fell backward onto the ground amidst black smoke, writhing in pain, looking half-dead.

The incredibly realistic acting even left the Azure Rathalos and Pink Rathian bewildered. They hadn't exerted much effort, so how could the human be on the verge of collapse?

Seeing Chen Yan's miserable state, the little fire dragon watching from above got anxious. It flapped its wings and flew to its parents' side, bumping and ramming them. Its spoiled and willful appearance only made its parents quite helpless.

You're the one who told us to teach this human a lesson, and you're the one who told us not to hit him hard. We did everything you said, and we still get beaten up by you. Is there anywhere we can get justice...?

The Azure Rathalos, whose tail was being stepped on and bitten by the Sakura Rathalos, let out a low growl, but was met with an even more ferocious "beating" from the Sakura Rathalos. It looked at its mate, only to see the Sakura Rathalos looking up at the sky and down at the ground, refusing to look at it.

Frustrated to the point of wanting to vomit blood, Azure Fire Dragon had no choice but to look at Chen Yan, desperately signaling with his eyes for him to stop pretending and quickly get up to help break up the fight.

Chen Yan suppressed a laugh, coughed a few times, and stood up. Sure enough, he attracted the attention of the little Sakura Fire Dragon. It let go of its poor father dragon and began to imitate its mother dragon's posture, pretending to ride a dragon.

Although it still looked somewhat similar, its power was so weak that Chen Yan didn't even bother to block it.

The "pink baby carriage" wobbled up, and under the threatening gaze of its parents, the dragon, Chen Yan had no choice but to pretend to fail in blocking again, and was violently knocked away.

His acting skills kicked in again as he collapsed helplessly to the ground, yelling and screaming, his eyes filled with terror as he stared at the smug Little Sakura Fire Dragon.

"Young Miss, are you satisfied now?"

Chen Yan got up slowly and reluctantly. After fighting for a long time, he didn't even break a sweat, but he was covered in dirt.

Having successfully avenged itself, Sakura Fire Dragon came over again.

It looked curiously at Chen Yan, who was covered in dirt, and saw him patting the dirt off his clothes. So it opened its mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth, and spat out a wet, triangular dragon tongue, giving the unsuspecting Chen Yan a deep clean.

Chen Yan was covered in its sticky drool, and knowing the little guy's innocent thoughts, he felt like crying.

"Young lady, we humans don't need to lick each other's bodies to clean ourselves; we prefer soaking in hot springs..."

Little Sakura Fire Dragon couldn't understand, it just kept trying to clean his back again. Although Chen Yan shook his head repeatedly to refuse, it still managed to trap him with its soft, pink wing membrane.

Just as it opened its mouth, a loud shout suddenly rang out.

"That dragon wants to eat Chen Yan, but did it ask your Meow Master first? How about I treat you to a taste of its arrogance to whet your appetite?"
