Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

Hua Miao almost died laughing again.

The two people, the cat, and the dragon made a noisy return journey.

As Azure Star wiped the ink off her face, she glanced at the ocean below and clearly saw several slender dragon shadows wreathed in arcs of electricity flash by underwater, with the leader one wearing a unique white carapace.

It seems that the Namielle Dragon is not the only troublesome creature in the ever-churning ocean.

Even he didn't want to fight the Namielle Dragon and the several sea dragons that followed it underwater...

Azure Star glanced at Chen Yan, who didn't seem to notice. However, the Extinction Dragon suddenly sensed something, turned around and gave him a wary look, baring its teeth and wagging its tail at him, while also protecting Chen Yan even more tightly in its claws.

His meaning was clear and unambiguous.

Chen Yan belongs to Him! Neither the one in the water nor you can take him away!

...

On the now calm sea, a small porcelain bottle suddenly emerged as several bubbles appeared.

Just as it was about to drift away with the current, a slender tentacle appeared and silently wrapped around the porcelain bottle.

The porcelain bottle, which was said to be able to withstand 9-10 bites from an Anjanathus, was easily crushed by the tentacles, and a clump of pink slime appeared.

The Namielle Dragon poked half its body out of the water, curiously kneading the clump of slime. After playing with it for a while, it brought the slime to its nose and sniffed it, catching a faint, refreshing scent mixed with a hint of Chen Yan's aroma.

He blinked, then sniffed carefully. The glowing organs growing all over his body suddenly lit up. He recognized the scent!

It tastes exactly like the foam that you might accidentally find flowing down a stream from some riverbed in some new continent!

Namielle, who spent all her time at the bottom of the sea, doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and fighting sea dragon minions, suddenly became excited. She wanted to go and see! To see where humans lived!

Without hesitation, He vanished again, diving into the seabed to first feast, then give those unruly sea dragon underlings a good beating.

After being satisfied, He was surrounded by brilliant colorful light. This "Lord of the Turbulent Currents" wielded infinite power. With the flapping of His wings, the sea split apart and the ocean currents reversed. The endless seawater was nothing more than a toy in His hands.

A few breaths later, a deep underwater current appeared leading to the ditch.

His form transformed into a stream of light and vanished.

On the Coral Plateau, the Bubble Fox Dragon, who was busy dividing a fish equally between its two children, suddenly shivered. It surfaced and looked around in confusion, but saw no threat.

Since that Thunder Wolf Dragon stopped eating meat and started eating Dragon Slayer Fruit, there have been few monsters that have come to provoke it in the Coral Highlands. The Floating Dragon, on the other hand, occasionally comes to sit, eat some fruit and drink some stream water, and sometimes even acts as a trampoline to amuse the two cubs.

Seeing no threat, the Bubble Fox Dragon submerged again. Lately, its two cubs had been constantly demanding to see Chen Yan, driving it to its wits' end...

Chapter 129 That Flower

The Lava Dragon, battered and bruised from the barrage of cannon fire, had endured hours of relentless bombardment from nearly a hundred cannons. It was trembling and struggling to even stand.

During this time, it tried to fight back, but its extremely tired body moved slowly and stiffly, unable to lift its claws at all. The magma in its body was almost exhausted, and its entire body was covered with a layer of gray, just like a volcano that was about to die.

As Namielle retreated, the previously receding seawater surged back in. The warship carrying the Dragon Piercer drifted with the current, slowly approaching the Zorah Magdaros. The Dragon Piercer, which had been preheated, began to spin, and the chains binding it began to tighten.

The commander-in-chief, standing at the bow of the ship, raised his hand. He was waiting for the Lavasioth to be completely exhausted so that he could strike it with the Dragonslayer Spear and make it utterly terrified, never daring to approach the New World again for the rest of its life.

"Commander-in-Chief! The Lavasioth has exhausted its strength!"

Aibo, with her goggles down, stared at the Lavasioth. Among all the observers and squad leaders present, she was the first to speak up and confirm that the Lavasioth was exhausted.

"Grandpa, it's time to deliver the final blow!"

The class monitor was the second to speak.

The two were separated by less than half a second.

The commander-in-chief looked at Aibo and his grandson, who was the head of the investigation team, with admiration in his eyes.

Leaving aside his grandson, this child was born and raised in the Star Base. He grew up with him at the base and knows the developed areas of the New World like the back of his hand. His excellent performance as the head of the survey team shows that he has inherited his command skills and personal charisma.

He was quite surprised to see the unfamiliar Aibo; it was surprising that such a talented editor was hidden in the fifth generation.

Judging from her appearance, she does bear a resemblance to an ecological research expert from the first group. When he saw Aibo's chubby cheeks, he immediately confirmed his guess.

That old guy is just as gluttonous as him.

He actually dared to send his precious granddaughter to the New World.

Suppressing his distracting thoughts, the Commander-in-Chief's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the Lava Dragon's body, which was right in front of him.

"Alright! This is the final blow!"

The commander-in-chief turned around and roared.

"Where is the Dragon Slayer Spear!?"

His grandson immediately ran over; he was thrilled to witness the successful battle against the Lava Dragon.

"Grandpa, everything is ready!"

The commander-in-chief's arm fell.

"Fire!"

The Dragon-Slaying Spear, already poised at the bow, roared deafeningly as its advanced, sharp edge was suddenly propelled by a carefully designed mechanism, piercing fiercely towards the teetering Lavasioth.

"boom!"

A loud bang!

The metal, forged through countless hammer blows, collided with the lava, accumulated over centuries!

With a violent tremor, and under the tense and expectant gazes of all the hunters, the tip of the Dragon Piercer pierced through the lava carapace of the Zorah Magdaros amidst a shower of sparks.

The deadly weapon had penetrated deep into his body; all that could be seen was the scalding blood of the ancient dragon flowing along the gun barrel.

The Dragon-Slaying Spear was retracted, its tip now covered in crimson blood.

The Lavasioth shuddered again, letting out a painful roar. Following the direction the Dragonslayer Spear returned, its massive body began to tilt uncontrollably, eventually crashing heavily into the seawater.

The massive waves created by the crash caused the warship to tilt and nearly perished.

The group of people stood up, holding onto the railing, and nervously watched the boiling sea.

Can the Lava Dragon stand up again?

Those few seconds of waiting felt longer than an entire century.

In the end, the Lava Dragon did not stand up again. It turned and swam towards the new continent, leaving the hunters with only a lonely silhouette.

"Success!"

Aibo cheered, instantly igniting the emotions of all the hunters—they had succeeded!

Whether it's high-fiving with companions, embracing those around them, crying tears of joy, or collapsing to the ground... everyone celebrates in their own way.

The sword master and the commander-in-chief exchanged a glance and smiled in unison. Compared to the young people, the old guys always celebrated in such a simple way.

Unfortunately, there aren't many old guys left around.

Amid cheers, Aibo took out the flower tucked inside the book and gently tossed it into the air.

The petals danced in the wind, following the retreating figure of the Lava Dragon.

The petals danced halfway around the warship, but were about to continue dancing when they were startled away by the commander-in-chief's solemn voice.

"Alright, I declare the operation to lure the Lava Dragon a complete success. We have won a resounding victory. Now, let's go home together!"

Cheers echoed through the earth's vein corridors.

Naomi, however, had a furrowed brow.

Where is Chen Yan?

Azure Star, who went out with him, has already returned. Why hasn't he come back yet?

So you're ignoring what she said again?

Naomi rubbed her teeth, determined that she would not let him go this time no matter what, and would beat him to death!

...

A playful petal drifted into the cat's nose, causing its eyes to twitch. The intense itching made it want to sneeze comfortably, but even the most oblivious cat knew that now was not the time to sneeze.

The cat with its tail drooping stood quietly by its side.

Under the setting sun, a man and a dragon embraced tightly.

The shadows of humans and dragons intertwined, indistinguishable from one another.

Both Nergigante and Chen Yan knew that the time for separation had come.

The Extinction Dragon fell silent.

For the first time, He was so obedient and docile.

He listened quietly as Chen Yan mumbled in his ear.

Chen Yan's voice was low, concealing his reluctance.

"Go, lead the Lava Dragon to the Guiding Lands."

"You should know how to get there. Fly northeast, over the Coral Highlands, over the Elder's Recess, and you'll reach the Guiding Lands. If you've forgotten, look at the palm of your hand; I've drawn a map for you. The area marked with dung in the corner is the Guiding Lands..."

"That's where you should go, and only there can you withstand the energy released when the Lava Dragon died, allowing you to transform into—"

Chen Yan paused in his speech.

He took a deep breath and slowly stroked Meimeizi's cheek, where traces of the battle with Aotu Na still remained.

"Annihilate all dragons."

The cat picked its nose and finally managed to pry off the petals that were entangled with the cat. The petals nimbly dodged the cat's revenge and flew up on the wind, shredding the five barely audible words.

Facing Chen Yan's abandonment, Meimeizi let out a whimper, its massive body trembling slightly. With just a glance from Chen Yan, it was willing to give up what might be its only chance for transformation in this life.

But Chen Yan knew how cruel this world was; without strength, everything was just a mirage.

Xialong knew this, so she left him.

The Pink Rathalos knew this, so it left him.

Now, it's Nergigante's turn.

"Go ahead, I'll come find you. Then I won't be able to call you 'Meimei' anymore, I'll have to call you—"

"She's getting married."
