Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

It slowly sipped the wine in its glass, which was the half-bottle of fruit wine that Naomi had brought last time. Emboldened by the alcohol, it boldly extended an invitation to one of the little kittens.

"Don't let my weight fool you, I can actually do backflips. Want to stay and watch tonight?"

The little cat with a big bag of leftovers on its head blinked and answered the wicked cat with a very innocent mind.

"I can do backflips too, and not only me, it can too, it can too... We can all do them, and the best backflipper in the group is my husband cat, he can do more than ten in a row."

Hua Miao almost choked on the alcohol and got a stitch.

"What? You have a husband, meow?"

Little Meow remains innocent.

"Yes, not only do I have one, it has one too, it has one too...we all have one, because Grandpa Chief said that you are an evil cow cat, and single little pretty cats are easily lured into your bed and give birth to eight in one litter, so Grandpa Chief specially sent us cats who already have husbands."

Enraged, the cat could no longer contain its anger. The buttons on its gentlemanly suit flew off, and it pounced on the cat climbing pole with its claws outstretched.

"You wretched old cat! Your cat master has brought you so much delicious food, and you actually called your cat master an evil cow cat? Just wait until next time, I'll scratch you and you're done for!"

After it finished venting its anger, it looked back and found that the little kittens had already run away.

The cat lay listlessly on the ground, its eyes regaining their light after a long while, and it slowly clenched its paws in front of its body.

"This mere forest insect cage creature kitten, I have no interest in her..."

"What Meow Master likes are the Wasteland Guardians, who have black fur like me and white stripes. I didn't encounter one in the Anthill Wasteland last time, so I'm determined to get Chen Yan to find me a nest this time!"

"You dare say you'll have eight in one litter? Who do you think you are! I'm going to have eighteen in one litter!"

It picked up the very thick animal skin bag, struggled for a long time to pry it open, and its fur stood on end as soon as it peeked inside.

The monster scales inside, shimmering with gold, silver, black, and tricolor light, smelled quite frightening.

"Chen Yan! Something's happened!"

It used all four claws to carry the animal skin bag and rushed towards the warehouse behind the stronghold at top speed. Running east and west, it crashed into Chen Yan's arms, who was sleeping soundly with Sakura Fire Dragon.

"Chen Yan! Look!"

The scales of the Gold Rathian and Silver Rathian are special; they not only feel like they are made of precious metals, but they also produce a crisp metallic clanging sound when struck together.

Most importantly, they are really beautiful. No wonder those emperors were so eager to get their hands on the scales of the Gold Rathian and Silver Rathian. They truly deserve to be the most valuable and rarest monster species.

The scales of Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess also have their own unique characteristics.

The Black Flame King's scales are terrifyingly hot, like holding a lump of flowing lava. From now on, I won't need to carry a flint and steel when I go out; I'll just throw its scales into the grass, and it'll probably burn even faster.

The scales of the Purple Poison Princess exuded a faint fragrance. Hua Miao felt dizzy after taking a whiff and vomited up everything she had eaten at noon. Even Chen Yan, who had excellent poison resistance, was momentarily dazed.

After confirming that the pheromones emanating from the scales of Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess were of the same origin as those of Sakura Fire Dragon, he looked at the little guy who was still fast asleep with both shock and astonishment.

"I underestimated you. You truly are a princess of the Fire Dragon Clan!"

Its parents are the tempered Azure Rathalos and Pink Rathian, while its grandparents are two male Rathalos, Black Flame King, and two female Rathalos, Purple Poison Princess. With such a family background, it can practically roam freely in the New World.

Even the Netherworld Dragon probably wouldn't easily provoke this family of fire dragons with their explosive combat power, except for this little useless dragon, of course.

Chen Yan silently wiped the chicken bone fragments from its mouth. If he had known those two big shots were in charge at home, he would have definitely fed it a higher-grade roasted mushroom pork to improve its relationship with it...

Chen Yan picked up the scale and waved it under the little fire dragon's nose. Upon smelling the familiar scent, it immediately opened its eyes and stared intently at the fire dragon scale in Chen Yan's hand.

Then, as if remembering something, it suddenly stood up, burst out of its nest, and was about to fly towards the Ancient Tree Forest. Chen Yan hurriedly caught up with it and managed to stop it.

With a combination of gestures and words, it quickly understood that its parents were not asking it, a weakling, to help, but rather to call its grandparents for assistance. So it turned around and spread its wings, ready to fly away.

Chen Yan waved goodbye.

"I wish you all the best. When you're done, don't forget to put in a good word for me with Black Flame King, Purple Poison Princess, Azure Fire Dragon, and Cherry Fire Dragon. And when you're all done, don't forget to come visit me. I'll treat you to roast pig. As for the reward, just give me some materials from Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess..."

Chen Yan was still rambling on when he suddenly noticed that the little fire dragon had stopped flapping its wings. It turned around and stared intently at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was startled. That gaze was exactly like that of a cat counting gold coins over and over, dreaming that they would drop small gold coins on their own.

"You're not going to..."

He took a step back, and before he could finish speaking, Little Sakura Fire Dragon rushed over, grabbed him in its mouth, and slowly flew up, ignoring Chen Yan's struggles. Flower Cat sighed; it knew this would happen. It jumped up and clung tightly to Chen Yan's trouser leg.

"Hey, hey, I'm not ready to visit my mother-in-law's mother and father-in-law yet. It won't look good if I go empty-handed. Let me bring two pigs, or if that's not possible, two roast chickens will do..."

Seeing that Chen Yan didn't seem to want to go with it, the little Sakura Fire Dragon whimpered a few times, its bright eyes filled with tears, making its beautiful pink pupils even more moist and charming.

Those pitiful eyes could melt even a stone.

Seeing that Chen Yan didn't speak, it slowly lowered its head, released Chen Yan, and walked forward alone, unsteadily and weakly.

Chen Yan felt like he was living the life of a scumbag.

Finally, he sighed and grabbed its soft, pink wings.

"Let's get this straight, I'll protect you along the way, but when we get to your grandpa dragon and grandma dragon, you'd better protect me. I'm afraid they'll each take half of me and devour this human who kidnapped my cute little granddaughter..."

Little Sakura Fire Dragon let out a cheer, turned around, picked up Chen Yan, and gently tossed him onto its shoulder. Meanwhile, the cunning Flower Cat had already found a soft, sheltered spot to lie down.

[Pink Rathalos issues a quest: The Temptation of Going Home!]

There's not much to say, just go home with it! What awaits you might not only be a double beating from the Black Flame King and the Purple Poison Princess!

Chapter 75 How to Train Your Dragon

Unlike the cat that could curl up and sleep anywhere, Chen Yan carefully selected a seat for himself.

He carefully combed the fur on the Pink Rathian's shoulders and neck, touching and pressing it, and finally chose a good spot where the fur was neither too soft nor too hard, and the carapace was neither too much nor too little.

Once the location is chosen, the next step is figuring out how to ride up there.

He tried to climb up the Pink Rathian's head, but the smooth pink scales made it difficult to stand. He then tried to climb up the Pink Rathian's tail, but it started trembling as soon as he touched it.

Seeing this, Chen Yan suddenly remembered that it was said the fire dragon's tail was glued on and would fall off at the slightest touch...

In the end, they circled back to the side.

He first pulled down half of the Pink Rathian's wing, then tentatively stepped on the huge thorns on the side of its wing with one foot, and walked up a few steps as if climbing stairs.

Using both hands to support itself on its protruding shell, once it was about the right distance, it pushed off the ground with its remaining foot, jumped a few times, and then sat down steadily.

"Wow, it's not as difficult as I imagined!"

Chen Yan straddled the neck of the Pink Rathian, his rear end pressed against the base of its muscular wings, with its thick neck and head in front of him. Feeling the rise and fall of the giant beast's breath beneath him, Chen Yan, riding a dragon for the first time, was both nervous and excited.

The Pink Rathalos also curiously turned around to look, and this turn caused its muscles and shell to rotate. Chen Yan's face turned pale, and he gasped sharply. He quickly supported the Pink Rathalos's head.

"Wait, wait! It's caught in my hand!"

After adjusting his sitting posture, he tried a few more times and only felt at ease after confirming that no matter how the Pink Rathian turned its head, it couldn't grab his vital points.

He instinctively gripped the protruding carapace on the Pink Rathian's shoulder blade, his ten fingers weaving along the gaps until he finally touched the flesh beneath its neck carapace.

Startled by the touch on its sensitive areas, the Rathalos jerked violently, nearly throwing Chen Yan and the Flower Cat away.

Seeing its strong reaction, Chen Yan realized that it was nervous being ridden for the first time. Since it was nervous, Chen Yan couldn't be nervous either.

He slowly withdrew his hand and gently stroked the scales on its neck to calm it down.

Since using your hands makes it tense, trying a different method should work.

This time, as he stroked it, he gradually tightened his legs, clamping them around the sides of the Pink Rathian's neck. His strengthened muscles allowed him to maintain a stable posture, and the Pink Rathian reacted much less, frequently turning its head to look curiously at the person sitting on it.

Under Chen Yan's command, the Sakura Rathalos took a few tentative steps, its steps steady and powerful, and Chen Yan, sitting on its back, could hardly feel any bumps.

"Okay, fly slowly from now on, let me get used to it—"

Before Chen Yan could finish speaking, he heard the wings behind him flap violently, and then the scene in his eyes changed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he was dozens of meters in the air.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the Sakura Fire Dragon flapped its wings vigorously again, soaring into the sky at a perfect 45-degree angle. By the time Chen Yan came to his senses, they were already a hundred meters in the air.

Riding a Pink Rathian is a completely different experience from riding a Pteranodon.

Although the pterosaur can carry hunters very high, it tends to float when it flies high, and the hunter will be swayed by the wind.

But sitting on the Pink Rathian, apart from feeling the strong wind rushing towards you, you don't feel any extra shaking at all.

"Is this the difference between turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines?"

Feeling the muscles tremble as it flaps its wings, listening to its long, deep breaths, and watching the rapidly passing clouds and the panicked pterosaurs trying to avoid them, Chen Yan felt as if he were piloting a fighter jet.

The Sakura Fire Dragon carried Chen Yan around a hundred meters in the air. They got to know each other well, and Chen Yan also figured out a way to control the Sakura Fire Dragon fighter jet. Through eye contact, the two quickly determined how to control the direction.

Simply stroke the right side of its neck and it will fly to the right; stroke the left side and it will fly to the left.

If you touch the center of its neck, it will tilt its head back and fly high. As for landing, it's very simple. Touch it all over, and it will freeze and fall headfirst because it can't stand the tickling.

As Chen Yan and the Sakura Fire Dragon soared through the sky, crashing through the clouds and skimming across the sea, a feeling of having conquered nature surged within Chen Yan.

Just as he was in high spirits, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, a splash erupted on the calm sea surface, and a monster with a streamlined body, covered in shimmering blue-gold scales, and with wings on its back resembling those of a flying dragon, leaped out of the water.

It swung its large, fan-shaped fins behind its head, opened its huge mouth full of carnivorous teeth, and bit down hard on the Pink Rathian.

It turned out to be a rare individual water dragon capable of living in seawater.

The sudden appearance of the water dragon threw the Pink Rathian, which lacked combat experience, into disarray, leaving it once again caught in a dilemma: should it run or fight?

Despite the chaos, Chen Yan remained calm. After analyzing that the attacking monster was a water dragon, Chen Yan immediately lowered his body and stroked the center of its neck with both hands. The Pink Rathian, which had lost its ability to think, suddenly rose up almost the instant it received the command.

The excessive overload caused Chen Yan's vision to go black. He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on every part of his body, and he was so uncomfortable that he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

This was with his enhanced body; if it were an ordinary hunter, this blow would have been enough to break several of their ribs.

The ichthyosaur missed its target, but it didn't want to let the rare fire dragon escape. Its belly heaved, and it opened its mouth to spew out a high-pressure stream of water, which shot straight toward its prey like an arrow.

"Good timing! Use Dragon Flame!"

The Pink Rathalos obediently lowered its head, but just as it took a deep breath after aiming at its target, Chen Yan, sensing something was wrong, immediately interrupted it in a panic.

It's so hot! It's incredibly hot! How can a fire-breathing dragon's neck be so hot?!

"Wait, wait, wait! I'm about to turn into roast chicken! Quick, switch moves! Use the ultimate move, Whirlwind Tail Poison Slap!"

The Rathalos swallowed the flames that were rising from its mouth, and under Chen Yan's control, it dodged the high-pressure water jets by turning sideways and swooped down rapidly from the air.

The water dragon, having exhausted all its strength and methods, is now panicking.

It shook its head and whipped its tail as it jumped back, but the Pink Rathian's dive was faster than its freefall speed.
