Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

From a distance, it looked like a slashing dragon wrestling with Mrs. Diablos's thick horns, its massive tail blade entangled in a fierce struggle.

Chen Yan's heart tightened. Could it be those two Dragon Slayer brothers he knew?

After getting closer and taking a look, Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief; it wasn't it.

Thankfully, it wasn't.

This dragon-slaying creature is fairly robust, but it is far less thick and long than the two special dragon-slaying brothers.

More importantly, its entire body was covered in beautiful red carapace and blue tail blade, with few scars, while the two dragon-slaying brothers had almost every scale covered with cuts from each other.

This appears to be a dragon slayer wandering alone in the desert.

When Zhanlong saw another horned dragon approaching, he hurriedly let out a threatening roar.

But the little horned dinosaur, so protective of its mother, ignored everything else and ducked down to bump into her.

Although its horns hadn't fully grown, the sheer size of its dragon body and the oppressive aura it exuded when it charged were still terrifying. Chen Yan and Hua Miao hung on its horns, one on each side, temporarily serving as the sharp tips.

Zhanlong had no choice but to withdraw his tail blade and gather his strength for the final strike.

But the little horned dragon was also very cunning. Seeing that the dragon was on guard, it knew its own strength and stuck its limbs into the sand, performing a braking maneuver and coming to a steady stop next to the mother dragon.

Caught off guard, the Glavenus roared in fury. It had originally intended to strike and severely injure or even kill the Barroth while it was roaring and relaxing after killing it.

But to everyone's surprise, the giant horned dragon reacted extremely quickly. Its tail blade slash, which was aimed at the vital spot on the neck, was blocked by the dragon's horns.

What I didn't expect was that this was actually a female ceratopsian with a baby. Looking at the ceratopsian baby next to her, it was about the same length as her, but it still didn't leave its mother. Could it be that it wasn't an adult yet?

Mrs. Horned Dragon stretched her neck, revealing a deep slash mark at the base of the left horn on the top of her head.

The fury in its eyes could almost melt sand. It slammed its massive wing claws heavily on the ground, lowered its head, tensed its muscles, and rubbed its tail axe together, assuming the starting position before its dragon chariot charge.

Not only did Mrs. Horned Dragon strike a pose, but the little Horned Dragon was also eager to try, imitating her and taking advantage of her power.

With two horned dragons, one large and one small, staring at him, it was time for Zhanlong to get his hands dirty.

As for the human-shaped and cat-shaped ornaments on the horns of the Lesser Horned Dragon, it ignores them automatically.

The Dragon Slayer possesses extremely strong aggression and a fiery temper, and will actively attack anyone within its field of vision, as well as large monsters.

But it's not brainless; on the contrary, it's very intelligent.

When it chased down the Barroth it encountered, it clearly saw the scratch marks left by the Diablos and knew that it had trespassed into the Diablos' territory. It hesitated for a moment, but with confidence in its strength, it still went in.

When the Diablos was truly attracted by the Sand Drake and leaped out of the sand, it was genuinely startled.

This was the first time in its life it had ever seen a hornedosaur of such a large size!

It was several times larger than a regular ceratopsian, and more than ten meters long!

After the initial shock came ecstasy; it loved defeating and even killing these unique monsters!

Just like that blue Anjanath that used to strike thunder, which took a lot of effort to kill last time, after it killed and devoured its flesh, it slept soundly for several nights in a row, and always felt a little stronger after waking up.

If it could eat such a large horned dragon, would some magical changes occur?

Suppressing its impulse, it patiently observed and waited for a while until the Diablos killed the Barroth and roared, revealing an opening, before suddenly charging out and swinging its tail blade.

Unfortunately, the opponent reacted quickly, and it failed to decapitate the target in one strike, but the opponent's hasty response still allowed it to maintain the upper hand.

If it continues to exert its strength, it might be able to sever one of the horns of the Diablos. Without its horn, the Diablos's combat power will naturally be greatly reduced, and it might be able to win little by little by taking this opportunity. However, the great situation was ruined by the sudden appearance of the little Diablos.

Chapter 136 Horned Dragon Group No. 3!

Zhanlong sized up the two horned dragons opposite him, one large and one small. The larger one was strong enough to instantly kill the Barroth, which was still half alive. The smaller one had a broken horn and should not be a threat.

But after rubbing its tail blade against the gravel a few times, it suppressed its restless heart. Fighting a horned dragon in the desert was already extremely disadvantageous, let alone fighting a mother and daughter horned dragon from the same family.

Chen Yan blinked, staring intently into Zhan Long's malicious eyes, and began to act as a translator.

"We are outnumbered by the enemy, so we should linger nearby for now and wait until the baby horned dragon grows up and leaves before killing it and then figuring out how to kill its mother."

Zhanlong was already showing signs of retreating, but his face remained fierce. His tail blade swung rapidly, causing the air to howl like ghosts, and a cannon of fire was brewing in his huge mouth.

The mother horned dinosaur instinctively shielded her cub behind her, and the cub instinctively ran behind its mother as well.

Fortunately, Mrs. Ceratopsian was exceptionally large; otherwise, she might not have been able to stop the little Ceratopsian, which was already over ten meters long.

"Don't let my imposing appearance fool you, I'm just kidding you two naive horned dragon mother and daughter. Aha, I'm running away now!"

The little horned dragon was startled, then hurriedly nudged Mrs. Horned Dragon, letting out a low growl urging it on.

The horned dragon lady, who had already wanted to kill it, did not hesitate. She immediately lowered her head and charged at the dragon with her pair of sharp and thick horns. The dragon, which had been quietly retreating, had no choice but to spit out the fire cannon in its mouth.

It thought the horned dragon would stop and give way, but the horned dragon acted as if it didn't see it at all and didn't dodge, letting the cannon fire hit its face.

The explosion caused flames to obscure its face, but before the dragon could rejoice, half a second later, the Diablos burst through the smoke and dust and took a hit from a cannon, leaving only a black stain on its horns, without even a scratch on the rest of its skin.

The smoke and fire only fueled Mrs. Horned Dragon's anger. She kicked the sand with her hind legs, kicking up clouds of yellow sand as she went, and her dragon chariot sped up even more.

Faced with the enraged Diablos's charge, the Glavenus, which wasn't particularly skilled at charging, put on its best effort. It folded its tail blade to its limit, held it in its still-hot jaws, and ground it until all the impurities were removed. Then, it unleashed a half-circle spinning horizontal slash.

The blade, imbued with immense force, slashed across the sand, aiming fiercely at Mrs. Horned Dragon's face.

According to the calculations of the "master swordsman" Zhanlong, his incredibly swift strike should have landed on the horned dragon first, avoiding its horns and striking its horn crest. This would not only shatter the crest but also allow him to make a cut on its back.

When sheathing her sword, she could also make a cut at the base of the horned dragon's wing, perhaps severing half of its wing. However, the battle-experienced horned dragon lady had long seen through her little trick.

In its eyes, the dragon-slaying skills and mindset of this creature were terrifyingly naive. If the special pair of dragon-slaying brothers that it had encountered long, long, long ago had seen this, they would probably have laughed their heads off.

The reason it could remember the pair of dragon-slaying brothers was because their aura was so astonishing, like two peerless swords that had just been drawn from their sheaths.

Ordinary monsters would be so frightened by a single glance that they couldn't sleep. Even it dared not provoke them, choosing to hide under the sand and wait until they were far away before emerging.

Mrs. Diablos merely raised her head slightly, and the tail blade that the dragon swung out slid perfectly into the gap between its two horns, striking the hardest keratin at the base of its horns with a "clang".

With a tremor of its tail blade, the powerful strike only caused Mrs. Diablos's head to tilt to the side. Zhanlong was stunned, completely unexpected by this outcome.

But it froze, while Mrs. Horned Dragon did not. Instead, she seized the opportunity to exert even more force and crashed headfirst into the side of the Dragon.

The scales on the side of the dragon were not thick, at least in front of the huge horns of the horn lady, they were as thin as paper. The horns pierced into flesh and smashed bones. If they were not stuck by the tail blade in the horn, the tip of the horn would probably have emerged from the other side.

But while the horns did block it, the immense force accumulated from the horned dragon's charge completely slammed into its body.

The massive body of the dragon flew out, spitting blood, and rolled several times on the sand until it crashed into three or four huge ant mounds before stopping. It struggled to its feet, its left hind leg almost broken in half, clearly crippled.

Mrs. Horned Dragon was oblivious to the importance of finishing off her opponent and continued to yell wildly to demonstrate her fighting prowess.

It didn't know that Chen Yan did.

Perhaps influenced by those special Dragon Slayer brothers, he now views Dragon Slayer through a filter, especially when it is severely injured, as if it could suddenly transform into a tempered individual or an Ember Blade at any moment.

Chen Yan charged forward on his little horned dragon. Even though Zhanlong could barely stand, it didn't stop him and Hua Miao from being on high alert.

"Flower Cat, watch out for its Dragon Rising Slash! I'm watching out for its Rock-Shattering Flying Blade Slash!"

Blood trickled from the corner of Zhanlong's mouth. He ignored the dragon, cat, and human rushing towards him and just stared at the Great Horned Dragon.

It underestimated the unusually large horned dragon. The power carried by its dragon charge was terrifying beyond imagination. After taking a hit from the dragon charge, not only were its external injuries horribly severe, but most of its internal organs were also shattered, making it impossible for it to survive.

But it's a dragon slayer! Even if it dies, it'll take someone down with it!

It glanced at the dragon, the human, and the cat rushing towards it, its gaze sweeping around before finally locking onto the flower cat.

The little horned dinosaur is tough and thick-skinned, and it might be too dangerous to cut it down since it's almost dead. Chen Yan is as thin as a stick and looks worthless. The herbivorous horned dinosaur has a fat, chubby cat in its den, so it must be very useful. Alright! I'll cut you down!

It let out a roar and raised its tail blade with all its might, trying to deliver its final blow.

Seeing its imposing presence, and realizing it had indeed been faking it, the little horned dragon braked again, and Chen Yan and Hua Miao also entered their highest defensive stance. However, they waited for a long time but did not see the dragon's tail blade fall.

Its eyes were dull and lifeless; it was dead.

In the end, it still failed to make the final cut of its life.

The massive corpse of Zhanlong lay on the ground, allowing the noisy sandstorm to gradually bury it.

Hua Miao looked at Chen Yan and made several cutting gestures.

Chen Yan nodded. Let's make the best use of it.

...

Inside the nest, Mrs. Diablos glanced at Flower Cat, who was huffing and puffing as she used the Glavenus Tail Blade to polish its horns. Flower Cat forced a fawning smile and polished even more diligently.

Unlike Chen Yan, who shamelessly calls her "Mom" all the time, she got into the Horned Dragon Group through her own abilities!

Look at this! Where else in the world can you find a Palico that can sharpen the horns of a Diablos?

After Hua Miao finished polishing, she stood nervously to the side waiting for the boss to inspect. Mrs. Diablos shook her exceptionally sharp horns a few times, gently pushed them against the rock wall, and with almost no resistance, easily poked two holes in them.

It was very satisfied. It pinched the flower cat with its wing claws, rolled it around on its body, and only put it down after making sure it was covered with its own scent.

Flower Cat rubbed its paws together and approached Mrs. Horned Dragon.

"Boss's mom, can you give me something good to eat? It's that thing you threw up, it almost made me drool. Can you throw up some more for me...?"

The little horned dinosaur nodded frantically; it wanted to eat too.

Mrs. Horned Dragon completely ignored them, so Flower Cat and Little Horned Dragon could only cast their hopeful gazes at Chen Yan.

"Boss, please."

"Awoo~ Waaaaah~"

Chen Yan sighed, walked up to Mrs. Horned Dragon, rubbed her belly, and a few seconds later, the green waterfall cascading from the sky once again engulfed him...

Chapter 137 Heartbreak

Perhaps because of the fierce battle, or perhaps because of the excessive regurgitation of food, Mrs. Horned Dragon was still starving after eating all the cacti stored in the nest. As soon as it got dark, she led the baby Horned Dragon out of the nest.

Judging from their expressions, they're probably going to eat all night.

To prevent Chen Yan from running around and getting into danger, Mrs. Horned Dragon even thoughtfully blocked the door with a broken giant ant mound.

But this was no challenge for Chen Yan, who had been playing the good boy all day. He quickly got up, wandered around the nest a few times, and soon found a spacious ventilation gap above his head.

He squeezed out without much effort, his tail hooking around him, turning him into a cat pancake, and he squeezed out as well.

I was immediately struck by the breathtaking scenery as soon as I stepped out.

The larvae of the flashing winged beetle gather on the huge anthill, preying on the transporting ants that live there, creating a magnificent sight.

Isn't it beautiful?
