Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

"Eat without worry, I'm fine now. I could fight Nergigante for another three hundred rounds without any problem."

Seeing that his tone was steady, his complexion was rosy, and his body was warm, the relieved Flower Cat and Sakura Rathalos began to eat.

Chen Yan stroked the cat's fur with one hand and massaged the Sakura Rathalos's wings with the other, his eyes fixed on the epic battle in the sky.

...

The Extinction Dragon roared, but the Black Flame King responded with an even more terrifying roar.

The "Ancient Dragon Slayer" Nergigante, whose mission is to hunt Elder Dragons, is now in a state of utter disarray.

His body was no longer as intact as when it was first seen. Most of the black and purple thorns on his body had been burned down to only the short, thick roots, and his scales and flesh had been charred and cracked.

This was caused by the Black Flame King's dragon flame. He dodged in time and only burned off a small part of it, but he did not expect that the flames remaining on his body would trigger a more powerful secondary explosion, which directly shattered half of his thorns.

Under its left forelimb, near its vital abdomen, were several deep, bone-revealing claw marks, from which dripped thick, pungent black blood—the marks inflicted by the Purple Poison Queen's venomous claws.

The Purple Poison Queen's deadly poison also took the Extinction Dragon by surprise. It had planned to rely on its extremely strong poison resistance to withstand a claw attack and then bite back, but unexpectedly, the deadly poison not only instantly invaded its body and began to wreak havoc, but also brought it unbearable pain.

He barely dared to move his left paw anymore, because pulling on the wound was so painful that he wanted to smash his head against a volcano.

The invincible regenerative ability simply couldn't keep up with the destructive speed of Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess.

The dragon flames continued to burn away at His flesh and blood, and the deadly poison tore at His lungs and internal organs little by little along His blood.

The double torment drove Nergigante almost mad. More than once, it wanted to eliminate or severely injure one of the two dragons first, but what it couldn't understand was that the dragon couple's cooperation was so seamless.

Black Flame King hovered around it the whole time. The Fire Dragon King’s unparalleled flying skills and speed made it impossible for the less agile Nergigante to catch up. It never got close, but instead hurled wave after wave of dragon fire at Nergigante, pressing it down until it fell into the attack range of its partner, Purple Poison Princess.

Meanwhile, the Purple Poison Queen had already swung her venomous tail, creating a poisonous zone shrouded in purple smoke on the ground. She danced gracefully within the poisonous zone, her figure hazy and beautiful. In her dance of death, the Nergigante repeatedly missed its targets and was unknowingly scratched and whipped. Before long, even purple blood foam was spitting from the corners of its mouth.

The Extinction Dragon was dizzy from the poison and felt pain even when it was breathing. It folded its wings and then unfolded them again, creating a storm that dispersed some of the poisonous smoke. Taking advantage of this moment, it broke free from the Purple Poison Princess's entanglement and hurriedly tried to fly into the sky, but what it got in return was a mouthful of dragon fire from the Black Flame King.

This fire takes longer to build up, has a higher temperature, and a more frightening color.

The distorted air, carrying flames, enveloped it like an inverted lotus flower. Knowing that being suppressed would be worse, and in order not to face both the Purple Poison Princess and the Black Flame King at the same time, it could only force its way out before the red lotus flames fully unfolded.

He roared again, his right claw protecting his face, his wings flapping fiercely and pressing tightly against his back, smashing through the flames and returning to the sky.

Facing the approaching Black Flame King, the raging Nergigante suddenly turned around, flinging off all the remaining thorns and the flames clinging to them, ready to explode a second time.

Hundreds of thorns transformed into a black mist, but the Black Flame King neither dodged nor avoided it. It simply folded its wings in front of its body. Its wings, with their flowing red patterns, were far thicker than those of an ordinary fire dragon. The thorns that could pierce through the thick mud armor of the Earth Sand Dragon only left a few white marks on its wing membrane.

After a long battle, Nergigante was almost exhausted. The speed at which the regenerating shell on its body grew thorns was significantly slower than half. Under the dual torment of flames on its body and the deadly poison inside, some of the white thorns shattered and fell off before they even had a chance to turn black.

Purple Poison Princess spread her wings and returned to Black Flame King's side; the three dragons stared at each other.

Faced with the formidable fire dragon couple, who were extremely adept at coordinating and controlling the battlefield, the fearless Nergigante had, for the first time, considered retreating. Meanwhile, Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess were also puzzled as to why this unfamiliar monster, Nergigante, was still alive.

This was the first time they had ever seen a monster that had withstood more than a dozen dragon fire explosions and more than a dozen venomous tail lashes and was still so full of life.

Seeing Nergigante slowly retreating, the Rathalos couple didn't try to force it to stay. Nergigante gave the Rathalos couple a deep look, then turned and left. Perhaps because it was too badly injured, it flew erratically, sometimes high and sometimes low, until it flew close to the ground, its lowered eyes meeting Chen Yan's.

Chen Yan felt a chill run down his spine. The Extinction Dragon actually wanted to hunt him!

Sure enough, the moment Chen Yan discovered his thoughts, the weakened Nergigante suddenly regained its strength. It stomped its limbs on the ground, instantly crushing the solid volcanic rock beneath it. Using the force, it transformed into a black lightning bolt and charged straight toward its prey, which it had always wanted the most!

The distance was too close and the speed too fast; the weakened Chen Yan had no way to dodge or avoid it!

Nergigante grabbed him in its claws, its hungry eyes seeming to want to devour him alive. Meanwhile, the Pink Rathian and Suicune, who had just reacted, tried to save Chen Yan with fire and slashes, but only ended up with two more wounds on its wings.

That's too late!

Chapter 82 A Life or Death Battle!

Chen Yan had never been so close to the Extinction Dragon.

In His sudden, heartfelt embrace, the man and the dragon faced each other once more. If Chen Yan hadn't drawn his sword at the last second and pressed it against the Nergigante's fangs, he probably would have been halfway into the Nergigante's belly.

Sparks flew as the blade rubbed against the fangs. The Nergigante shook its head, desperately trying to shake off the obstructing blade and bite Chen Yan. Although Chen Yan's arms trembled like leaves, he also desperately followed the Nergigante's two large fangs, refusing to let it bite him.

In the stalemate between the two, Chen Yan was forced to inhale the fishy, ​​sweet breath exhaled from the dragon's mouth. After a few breaths, his face began to turn purple. Then, a sharp pain that started in his throat quickly spread to his lungs. Every breath he took felt like a knife being stabbed into his lungs.

He now understood why Nergigante twitched when it breathed—it was really in pain...

Even worse, the Nergigante had already crushed his breastplate, and its sharp claws had opened several bleeding gashes. Chen Yan felt like a deflated balloon, his strength and body temperature rapidly draining away.

Blood loss and venom made him dizzy, and his hand, which was poking at Nergigante's fangs, grew weaker and weaker. In his daze, he met Nergigante's gaze once more and saw the extreme longing deep in its dim eyes.

Chen Yan was slightly dazed. It turned out that the Extinction Dragon not only coveted his body, but also the strange things inside him.

Since arriving in the New World, he has been diligently searching for and completing missions every day. Unbeknownst to him, his body has accumulated dozens of different monster abilities, which, regardless of their strength, are transformed into warm currents and absorbed by various parts of his body.

Could it be that the Nergigante, which can sense the life energy of the ancient dragon, has already discovered the special nature of his body, which is why it is so relentless in trying to devour him?

As the blade lodged in its mouth slowly lost its strength, Nergigante suddenly shook its head, sending the blade flying. Facing the now unarmed Chen Yan, a faint glimmer of light appeared in its eyes, and it opened its jaws again, biting down on Chen Yan.

"You won't even give me a task... I'd rather die than let you get something for nothing!"

Suddenly, a surge of strength welled up in Chen Yan's body, which had long since lost all sensation. Facing the gaping maw of the Nergigante, he desperately used his left hand to hold down its upper jaw and his right hand to support its lower jaw. He could no longer feel the pain of his palm being pierced by the fangs; he only saw blood dripping into the Nergigante's mouth.

His tongue licked it, and the incredibly delicious taste made his eyes shine even brighter.

Chen Yan glanced one last time at the frantic Flower Cat and Sakura Fire Dragon trying to save him, then resolutely looked away and roared at the Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess who were rapidly swooping down from the sky.

"It's too late, fire at me!!!"

Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess sensed the resolute tone in Chen Yan's voice.

He had no choice but to be resolute. Judging from the reaction of the Nergigante after drinking a few mouthfuls of his blood, if it really swallowed this super tonic alive, the Nergigante would probably transform into the World Destroyer Nergigante on the spot.

Even if the Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess, the fire dragon couple, joined forces, they would probably only be able to flee when faced with the Annihilation Dragon.

Facing Chen Yan, who was fearless in the face of death, a hint of approval and appreciation emerged in the guilty and anxious eyes of Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess. These two "kings" and "princesses" who had survived thousands of battles had already acknowledged Chen Yan.

They now agree to let Chen Yan ride on their beloved granddaughter, Sakura Rathalos.

Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess stopped diving. One raised its head and spread its wings to fly high again, while the other stayed in place and danced gracefully.

The one that flew up was the Black Flame King.

When it flew to a height of a thousand meters, the lotus-shaped patterns on its black scales glowed with an extremely dazzling red light. The fire sac inside its body, several times the size of an ordinary fire dragon, shrank into a ball, and the endless bursts of flame were all gathered into its tightly closed mouth.

A fireball appeared, filling every inch of its mouth. The intense heat licked at its mouth and throat, but the Black Flame King gritted its teeth and continued to frantically squeeze the flames into the fireball, which was no bigger than a fist.

Under immense pressure, the fireball's color began to change drastically.

In just a few breaths, the color changed from orange-red to golden yellow, from golden yellow to pure white, and then from pure white to bluish-white, until when it opened its mouth, which was already severely scorched by the flames, there was only a silent, burning, and rising azure fireball inside.

The moment it appeared, it was as if a volcano was erupting in the sky, and the extremely high temperature of thousands of degrees made the air explode.

The Purple Poison Princess, hovering a hundred meters in the air, also performed the most beautiful dance of her life.

Its internal venom glands, like the Black Flame King's fire pouch, were empty. All the venom had been gathered into the longest thorn on its tail. The venom, which should have been purplish, had now turned pure black. Its toxicity was so potent that even the air hissed as it was corroded.

As the Dance of Death drew to a close, Purple Poison Princess looked down at Chen Yan.

With the final dragon flame in its mouth, Black Flame King also looked down at Chen Yan.

Half a second later, Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess no longer hesitated.

Purple Poison Queen took the lead with a magnificent twirl and dive, pouring all her strength into her taut tail. The sharpest thorn at the end of her tail trembled slightly, issuing a final warning to the Nergigante.

However, the Nergigante ignored him and just bit harder. At this moment, its upper and lower fangs were only a finger's width away from crushing Chen Yan's head.

Until the Purple Poison Princess's long, sharp thorns pierced through its scales and flesh, deeply penetrating its heart, the concentrated poison exploded in the Nergigante's internal organs in an instant. The Nergigante shuddered violently, and its eyes instantly darkened.

Even so, He didn't forget to use the last bit of strength to continue biting Chen Yan's head.

Purple Poison Princess injected all her venom into Nergigante's body, leaving not a single drop. Feeling the sun about to set overhead, she deliberately twisted off the poisonous thorns that had pierced Nergigante's body at the last moment, and then spread her wings and rushed towards Pink Rathian and Suicune.

As it landed and rose, it grabbed one thing with each of its paws, trying to take them with it away from the center of the explosion.

However, to its surprise, the little Rathalos that it remembered as the most timid and cowardly, who was so scared of even a Rock Dragon that it didn't know how to fly, suddenly roared angrily at it. It clawed and bit, desperately trying to break free from the Purple Poison Princess's claws.

The fat cat that it thought was a backup food source reacted even more, actually stabbing it with a knife and yelling at it to let go of its claws, although after stabbing it for a long time it only left a few white marks on its scales.

Purple Poison Princess looked down at Little Sakura Fire Dragon, a hint of relief in her eyes.

My little princess has finally grown up...

As for the flower cat, it ignored it.

With a breath containing a slight toxin, Sakura Fire Dragon and Flower Cat quickly fainted, but the dragon and cat still struggled in their last moments before their eyes closed.

After they flew far away, the Black Flame King swooped down, carrying the blue sun.

Its hard-earned combat experience taught it when to drop the bomb. Once it was certain that the fireball's power would be maximized, it spat it out without hesitation, then rapidly ascended, completely unconcerned about the impending explosion.

Anyway, everything will turn to dust in the flames, so there's nothing to see.

Watching the Black Flame King and Purple Poison Princess fly away, Chen Yan completely gave up struggling. He let go so quickly that even the Extinction Dragon didn't have time to react. By the time it came to its senses, Chen Yan had already willingly crawled into its mouth, only sticking its head out to admire the deep blue fireball.

"Hmm... According to scientific research, when a flame turns blue, it generally means that the temperature has reached over 1700 degrees Celsius. Hey, Meimei, can you handle it?"

The Nergigante remained silent, simply using its tongue to swallow him, but Chen Yan stubbornly refused to comply, clinging tightly to its triangular, sticky tongue with both hands and feet, transforming into a stubborn "tongue-hugging man," unable to be shaken off by the Nergigante no matter how hard it tried.

This was all thanks to Hua Miao for providing Chen Yan with a wealth of experience with face-hugging cats.

With the fireball approaching overhead, the Nergigante had no choice but to abandon its plan to swallow Chen Yan whole. After all, the flesh was already in its mouth, and it would be swallowed sooner or later. While swallowing its saliva, which contained a hint of Chen Yan's flavor, it looked around and pondered how to escape.

It wouldn't work in the sky. Although the fireball was falling slowly, its internal organs had been severely poisoned, and it couldn't feel the existence of wings, so it couldn't fly at all.

Neither left nor right worked; the almost straight volcano, without any gaps, completely blocked any possibility of Him rolling in and hiding inside.

Neither the front nor the back worked. Although the road was flat and there was a ravine not far away, its limbs, which were throbbing with pain, were not strong enough to support its massive body as it crawled in.

So, there is only one way out.

With difficulty, it shook its thick, massive tail, the only part of its body that hadn't been badly injured in the battle with the fire dragon. It rose high into the air and landed heavily, instantly cracking the several-meter-thick volcanic rock beneath it.

Holding His tongue and watching His miraculous manipulations through the gaps between His teeth, Chen Yan heard a terrifying sound.

thump—

thump—

thump—

The long echo told him that there seemed to be a bottomless cave underground.

Hearing the tail slam down again and the continuous cracking sound of the volcanic rock beneath him, Chen Yan thought of an even more terrifying rumor.

I heard that Nergigante is really good at digging burrows?

The sinking of Nergigante's body confirmed his guess.
