Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

Chen Yan sheathed his sword and used Iaijutsu, charging up his power in milliseconds. He drew his sword at lightning speed and slashed four times with incredible speed, his movements strikingly similar to the four-hit combo of the Swift Dragon Blade Wings from last night.

In the blink of an eye, four bright and solid blades of energy flashed past, slashing at the velociraptor's tail from different directions and angles.

The velociraptor quickly turned its head, its pupils slightly red, and the thorns on its tail stood up in fright.

Its long tail was like a barbed steel whip. It lashed, whipped, wrapped, and shook, deflecting three of the four fierce slashes. Only the last one struck its tail solidly, severing several thorns. It then spun and flew into the sky.

"Finally, finally I used it!"

Chen Yan collapsed to the ground with a thud, and the training wooden sword in his hand nearly shattered.

He reflected on the results of his busy night.

First, I successfully received the task issued by Xunlong.

[The Swift Dragon issues a quest request: What is this? It tastes so good! I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life...]

Please feed it with Royal Canin cat food, premium dried fish, premium tri-protein cat treats (sea, land, and air), freeze-dried chicken, duck, and fish...

[Commission Fee (Specified): Four Consecutive Light Slashes]

After wiping out Flower Cat's secret stash of storage, the mission was successfully completed.

[Task completed.]

【Four-Shot Combo】: You have learned the Nargacuga's four-shot combo at lightning speed: "Crimson Meteor, Dark Shadow". In terms of speed, this move is enough to make you stand out among all dragons. By the way, do you also want to become a nail clipper and cut off Shalltear's... no, Kushala Daora's nails?

The task bubble transformed into a warm current, specifically nourishing his wrist.

But acquiring it was one thing, but successfully unleashing the [Four Consecutive Light Slashes] was not as simple as Chen Yan had imagined.

He had received the mission reward a whole night ago, and had tried countless times during that time. This was the first time he had successfully unleashed four sword energies and hit the velociraptor's tail with all of them.

Unlike the simple and straightforward [Flying Blade Rock Slash] obtained from the Blade Slayer Dragon, which only requires spending time, the Nargacuga's [Four-Hit Light Slash] does not require spending time, but it requires extremely high skill and a very special way of exerting force.

Even though I have detailed instructions on the moves in my mind, my mind knows them, but when it comes to actually using them, my hands always have their own ideas.

It's either too fast or too slow, either crooked or twisted.

At first, let alone a four-in-a-row, even a two-in-a-row was difficult.

Fortunately, the velociraptor was very patient, and through its tireless training, he finally mastered the move.

Seeing Chen Yan happily hugging the velociraptor's tail, Meimeizi, who had been holding back all night, could no longer bear it.

Its tail is clearly ugly and unsightly, not nearly as pretty or fun as his own, so why doesn't Chen Yan play with it?

The cat, who witnessed the whole thing, was completely dumbfounded. It had never seen such a rapid series of slashes before. Compared to Chen Yan's move, its proud Swallow Return was simply pathetic.

Flower Cat was both angry and anxious. Everyone was doing fine, but you suddenly became stronger. Are you trying to kill me?

"Brother Chen Yan, teach me! I want to learn too!"

Chen Yan was caught in the midst of a flying pounce of a flowery cat. He petted the flowery cat with one hand and the swift cat with the other, feeling both busy and happy.

Seeing this, Nergigante could no longer bear it. It ran over, pushed aside the Nargacuga that was enjoying itself with its eyes half-closed, picked up the wiggling cat in Chen Yan's arms and threw it to the Nargacuga. Then, it wrapped its tail around Chen Yan and dragged him into the small dark room.

Now it's time to play with His tail.

Chen Yan only had time to greet Xunlong.

"Boss Xunmiao, this is my little brother. Why don't you help him train!"

The Swift Dragon caught the Flower Cat in one go. Judging from its eyes, its desire to eat it was clearly greater than its desire to teach it.

Flower Cat trembled as it looked at Swift Cat, who was practically drooling.

"Hey, Boss Xunmiao, my name is Huamiao. Since we're both from the 'meow' generation, could you please spare me...?"

Seeing that Xunmiao ignored her but drooled more and more, Huamiao had no choice but to take out its most treasured possession: the Supreme Deluxe Cat Stick.

"Boss Xunmiao, I bet you haven't tried my secret recipe cat treats. Unlike those pre-made cat treats, these were made by the head chef just yesterday. They're made with the best ingredients from the New World. Look at this meat, look at this oil, it's definitely better than the lousy pre-made cat treats Chen Yan fed you."

Xunmiao, already corrupted by luxury, was indeed fooled.

The cat eagerly handed over the cat treat, watching it lick it with obvious enjoyment.

"Boss Xunmiao, how about we make a deal? You teach me that trick I just used, and I'll give you a month's supply of my secret-recipe cat treats, how about it?"

Xunlong licked the cat treat bag again and again. The taste was far better than what humans fed it. What kind of miserable life had it lived before?

More importantly, this fat cat actually supplies it with a month's worth of its secret-recipe cat treats?

The velociraptor abandoned the flower cat, and motivated by the delicious food, it decided to unleash its most powerful and secret weapon.

Chen Yan, who was doing his best to massage Meimeizi's tail, suddenly heard the sound of blades tearing through the air outside. The sound was continuous, and Chen Yan counted in his mind.

First tone, second tone, um, normal.

The third and fourth tones are also normal.

Fifth tone, sixth tone, huh?

Chen Yan was taken aback. How could there be six whistling sounds?

Shouldn't the [Four-in-One Light Slash] only have four sounds?

After finally getting Meimeizi to sleep, Chen Yan hurriedly came out of the dark room and saw a scene that shattered his Dao heart.

The velociraptor spun and leaped, raising the spikes on its tail, and slashed down with all its might, its target being the blind cat beneath it. Just as the cat was about to turn into a puddle of cat sauce, it suddenly opened its eyes.

Chen Yan could barely see Hua Miao draw her sword.

With six sharp clangs, the velociraptor's slamming tail was precisely struck by the six blades, preventing it from falling and sending it flying. The velociraptor's massive body was even pulled back several steps.

"I see, so it's about using six precise, light-speed slashes to achieve instantaneous burst damage? It's somewhat similar to the move the head chef taught me..."

Chen Yan, who witnessed everything, was stunned.

This [Six-in-a-Row Light Slash] is clearly the ultimate upgraded version of the [Four-in-a-Row Light Slash].

He studied diligently all night and barely managed to learn the [Four Lights Combo Slash]. That fat cat, Flower Cat, could do it the moment it opened its eyes...

Everyone was doing fine, and then you suddenly became stronger. How are we supposed to survive?

Chapter 123 A Contest

Feeling a bit down, Chen Yan wandered around the Ancient Tree Forest with Flower Cat.

Having just learned a new move, it's best to find a monster that's neither too strong nor too weak to test it out.

He looked down on weaklings like Great Jagras, Pukei-Pukei, and Tobi-Kadachi, and since Rathalos and Rathian were all related to him, he couldn't use them for practice. After thinking it over, he decided to target the "forest thug" Anjanath.

After searching high and low, they only found a few old traces that might have been left by Anjanath.

Undeterred, Chen Yan wandered back to the spot where the electric dragon had crashed, but still couldn't find it.

Just as the man and cat, having gained nothing, were about to return to their base, several female fire dragons descended from the sky, excitedly sniffing around Chen Yan, clearly influenced by the aura of the "King of Fire Dragons".

The several Rathalos that had followed the falling dragons looked at each other, completely unaware of where they had gone wrong.

Chen Yan politely declined the enthusiastic gazes of the female Rathalos.

He couldn't refuse; there was still a little sheep sleeping at home. If He smelled the scent of other female monsters, he would definitely be in trouble again. He didn't want to have his legs weak for several more days.

After wandering around for a while, I arrived at the foot of an extremely thick old tree. Just as I looked up to see if there were any fruits on the tree to quench my thirst, I saw a small head peeking out from the bushes.

"Aibo?"

"Chen Yan?"

Since Aibo is here, that means...

Sure enough, his trouser leg was gently tugged, and a muscular Felyne meowed softly at him, nothing special, just a greeting.

He was patted on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw it was Azure Star.

They seemed to have just returned from a hunt, and the chilling aura emanating from them had not yet dissipated. Seeing that he also carried a Flying Dragon Blade [Red Leaf] at his waist, Chen Yan suddenly had a bold idea.

"Azure Star, how about a friendly spar?"

Chen Yan was genuinely curious about just how powerful Azure Star was at this moment.

Faced with Chen Yan's request, Azure Star pondered for a moment and readily agreed. Aibo, who was holding a snack, also jumped down from the tree with great interest and took the initiative to lead the two to a spacious area.

Azure Star's gaze swept around and locked onto a very standard, ordinary tree. He drew his knife, and with a few strokes, he carved out four wooden knives.

While he was scraping the barbs, the cat climbed onto Chen Yan's shoulder and whispered something to him.

"Chen Yan, look at those skills of his, can you even do that?"

Chen Yan shrugged.

"Whether it works or not, we'll only know by trying..."

Azure Star tossed two of them to Chen Yan and Flower Meow. Chen Yan tried swinging them a few times, and found that the feel and weight were exactly the same as the Flying Dragon Blade [Red Leaf]. He and Flower Meow exchanged a glance and became extremely vigilant.

The two people and two cats stood several dozen meters apart, with Aibo acting as the referee.

As her whistling subsided, Flower Cat charged forward, concealing a wooden sword within its body. As it charged in the Palico cart, it subtly gathered power in its hidden sword stance, its target the Palico on Azure Star.

But when the cat finally ran over, it was dumbfounded to see the cat nimbly climbing the tree and leaping to the top. This move not only perfectly avoided the cat's long-awaited attack, but also figured that the chubby cat couldn't climb the tree and had no ability to chase it.

Sure enough, Flower Cat braked suddenly with all four limbs, its claws turning red before it could barely stop. Before it could catch its breath, the Palico from Azure Star jumped down again, holding a wooden sword, and stabbed it straight into Flower Cat's armpit.

The cat was even more surprised.

Its wooden knife was hidden in its armpit, surrounded by layers of fat. How was it discovered as soon as the fight started?

Without a second thought, the cat immediately rolled away to avoid the attack. However, after rolling for a while, it only felt more and more pain. A quick glance revealed that the gleaming blade had already anticipated its rolling path.

It rolls and gets poked, rolls and gets poked again, it's like it's running into someone's knife.

"Brother Flower Cat, you roll around too slowly, and your direction is too easy to guess. If I were you, I would use my fleshy body to withstand a few hits, and then look for any openings I might make."

Flower Cat, who was secretly mocked for being too bad, was furious.

It immediately flipped over and raised its claws to deliver a sharp backflip.

Then I saw what Palico-style rolling and dodging really meant.

The tumbling was so unpredictable and fantastical that Hua Miao, holding her knife, didn't know how to strike. Her eyes were practically dazzled by the sight.

Chen Yan and Azure Star also clashed.

Both men started with a standard forward slash. The unsharpened blades clashed together. After assessing Azure Star's strength through the struggle, Chen Yan felt reassured and tentatively entangled Azure Star's blade.
