Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

This little Dettel lynx is so adorable and well-behaved.

She wiped his sweat countless times along the way and fed him sweet tree fruits from time to time. Now she was comforting him with such gentle words, making him sigh in his heart once again that it was the cute little cat who knew how to care for people!

Chen Yan stroked the little lynx's head, and it purred contentedly.

The cat walking in front had its fur slightly ruffled. Whether it was from being afraid of heights or from being glared at with disdain by Chen Yan, its short legs trembled a little, and for the first time in a long time, it chose to walk on all fours at the same time.

Hearing the noise behind it, it turned its head slightly and barked at Chen Yan triumphantly.

"Chen Yan, look what a wonderful job I've found for you! You're the first person in history to step into the Forest Insect Cage!"

That's right, the task of visiting the Forest Insect Cage Clan of the Deter tribe fell to Chen Yan and Hua Miao.

God knows how he felt last night after giving Xialong a massage, when he went back to his room and found cats all over the floor.

If it weren't for the task of finding a beautiful little cat for Hua Miao still lingering in his mind, he would have thought that Hua Miao had already started openly building a harem right in front of him.

Chen Yan also really liked these fluffy little guys, and he even specially asked a few of the kitchen helper cats to buy some dried fish.

After he skillfully fed them, the little guys quickly became familiar with him. Last night, one of the bold little lynxes even took the spot that the cat had reserved for sleeping and slept in his arms all night. It was the same cat that had been perched on his shoulder.

According to it, Chen Yan not only felt warm, but also had a very pleasant smell.

The only downside is that these seven little lynxes did not issue any commissioned tasks.

After crawling and climbing for more than half an hour, Chen Yan finally arrived at their territory after struggling through a dead old tree.

The seven cats rushed in eagerly.

Seeing his clansmen, who hadn't returned all night, safely come back, the old lynx chieftain, who had been waiting at the door all night, first breathed a heavy sigh of relief, then raised his cane in a fit of rage and struck them.

"You disobedient little cats, one by one you ran away without saying goodbye, and last night you were all gone! I thought a flying thunder dragon crawled in in the middle of the night and carried you all away!"

Its movements were slow and leisurely; before the cane could even fall, the little lynxes skipped and ran away.

After startling them, the old lynx chieftain noticed that a human and an elf were following behind them.

Its reaction was very lynx-like; it was startled and almost jumped up, then grabbed from behind and threw it at Chen Yan and Hua Miao.

Having already learned its lesson, Hua Miao jumped onto Chen Yan's face and transformed into a face-hugging cat, covering his eyes with its belly and then wrapping its tail around his head to cover its own eyes.

As a blinding light flashed, the old lynx chieftain's panicked shouts came from behind.

"The enemy is attacking! You all run, I'll hold them off!"

The chaos in the tribe only subsided after the seven little lynxes gave their own explanations.

The old lynx chieftain had a dark face.

As native inhabitants of the New World who have long struggled to survive in sparsely populated forests, the Dettels are more shy than the Palicoes.

Although they knew that a group of strange humans were active in a corner of the New World, and that they could occasionally see them hunting in the forest, they always carefully avoided the hunters who exuded a dangerous aura.

Their cautious nature has made them accustomed to a self-sufficient life, and they have no intention of cooperating with humans, adhering to the principle of "you do your thing, I'll do mine."

Even the eloquent Hua Miao, who had almost run out of saliva from talking, didn't pay much attention to him until Chen Yan took out the gift he had specially prepared from his pocket.

Since it's our first time visiting, we should bring some things.

In his left hand he carried a large bag full of dried fish, a large bag of sausages, and a large bag of eggs, while in his right hand he carried two large chunks of whole cheese.

For a group currently facing a severe food shortage, this much-needed food was a perfect match for the old lynx chieftain.

It rubbed its cane, trying hard not to look at the delicious food, but the way its tail was frantically sweeping the ground behind it betrayed its thoughts.

When Chen Yan finally pulled out his secret weapon, a large cup full of herbal paste, the old lynx chieftain could no longer sit still.

The main fighting force of the tribe has suffered heavy casualties, and the hunters urgently need herbs with strong healing effects.

With their help, the lynx warriors, whose lives were hanging by a thread, were finally saved.

Chen Yan and Hua Miao not only enjoyed the tea brewed from the secret leaves of the Forest Insect Cage Tribe, but also admired their unique mural art. After the atmosphere became lively, they were fortunate enough to see the Forest Insect Cage Tribe's own joyful dance.

A dozen or so lynxes of various sizes ran and jumped around them, each one rubbing against them; the scene was incredibly adorable.

Chen Yan was fine; he just thought they were all cute, petting one and scratching the other, while Hua Miao was almost fainting from happiness.

The Forest Cage Clan and the Hunters quickly reached an agreement.

They will teach Palicoes some special skills, such as how to tame small monsters for riding, how to weave vine traps to restrain large monsters, and how to use the Stop-the-Wing Cage to capture Flashwing Bugs, etc.

The hunters also provided some necessary assistance.

Soon, several murals appeared on the large stone pillar at the entrance of the Starry Sky Outpost, and a strangely shaped stone quietly appeared next to the adventurer's flag erected next to the conference table.

If you look closely, you can see that it is covered with dense cat paw prints.

Chapter 16 Don't be afraid, I'm here!

"That's right, the Poisonous Bird must hunt in this area!"

After studying the map hand-drawn by the old lynx chieftain for a long time, Hua Miao gave Chen Yan an affirmative answer.

Facing Chen Yan's suspicious gaze, Hua Miao smiled confidently, as if the wrong locations from the last, the time before last, and the time before that weren't what it said.

But this time, it seems to be right.

Chen Yan found fresh sap on a dead old tree. He scraped some off with his katana and could smell a very pungent spiciness.

Although both are poison-using creatures, the poison of the Pukei-Pukei is far inferior to that of the Chameleon. The venom of the Chameleon emits a refreshing floral fragrance that makes people want to keep smelling it, and before they know it, they have been poisoned.

The venom of the Poison Bird smells so unpleasant that anyone with a nose would definitely not want to smell it.

Following the faint footprints, we passed through a dense thicket of grass and gently peeled back a few broad leaves. Sure enough, we saw a poisonous bird about 10 meters long, busy searching for food.

At first glance, this guy looks absolutely green.

It was covered in green carapace and scales, with green feathers growing on its neck and wings, and a few different colors on its cheeks and its long, tubular tail.

The former is bright red, while the latter is multicolored.

The cat lay prone beside Chen Yan, its eyes asking him whether he should go or not.

The Poisonous Bird's quest did not appear in Chen Yan's mind.

It seems this is a poisonous bird with no desires or wants.

That makes sense, since in the map drawn by Lynx, the entrances and exits in this area are relatively narrow, and large monsters like Anjanath would generally not enter.

The dense canopy of trees stacked on top of each other also blocked the fire dragon's view in the sky, making this place a paradise for herbivorous poisonous birds.

After observing for a while, Chen Yan tentatively threw a flying walnut at the Poisonous Bird. With a crackling sound, it looked up, its huge golden eyes scanning back and forth with snake-like pupils, finally stopping at the bushes where Chen Yan and Flower Cat were hiding.

It let out a few low growls that were hard to understand, and walked over step by step.

It was only because the Poisonous Demon Bird's eyes, which could distinguish colors, saw a little black and white in that place. In its limited memory, this place was all green, and there were no black and white plants at all.

If it were available, it wouldn't mind trying something new.

The cat's paws had already touched the hilt of the knife, and as the poisonous bird drew closer, its body tensed up.

Just as the two could hear the poisonous bird's breathing, a sudden change occurred behind them.

A huge dragon head squeezed in, its bloodshot, bulging red eyes fixed on the poisonous bird.

The Poison Bird let out a sharp cry, opened its mouth and spat a large amount of venom into the face of the intruding Anjanath, then flapped its wings and turned to run away.

Chen Yan and Hua Miao kept their heads down, lowering their bodies as much as possible and breathing as lightly as possible.

Until two bubbles, one white and one blue, suddenly appeared in my mind.

The white one is—

[The Poisonous Bird issues a quest: Help!]

[Anjanath is angry, it's so scary! Help me, help me, help me, help me...]

[Compensation for the commission: activating the venom/developing a long tongue/hollow tail sac]

And the blue one is—

[Anjanath issues a quest: Revenge is the ultimate punishment!]

[Yesterday's humiliation will be avenged today! I was almost killed by those two powerful insects yesterday. If it weren't for a pair of fire dragons fighting and spewing fire and poison, I definitely wouldn't be seeing the sun today! Roar! My revenge begins with crushing those two obviously weak insects!]

[Compensation provided: Hair removal follicles/heat dissipation film/flame resistance/fire breath]

"run!"

Upon reading the contents of the commission, Chen Yan instantly understood that the Anjanath, currently in a state of rage, was not there to cause trouble for the Poison Bird, but rather specifically to find the two of them.

Before the Anjanath could make a move or open its mouth, he grabbed the fur of the clown cat, which he thought hadn't been discovered, and threw it with all his might at the fleeing Poison Bird.

Flower Cat instinctively clung to the Poison Bird. As soon as it turned its head, it saw the Anjanath with its back membrane open, its mouth filled with fire, and its huge jaws, like a shovel, biting hard at Chen Yan, who was still in a throwing posture.

"Chen Yan!"

The meow of the flower cat was swallowed up by the sound of the Anjanath's massive jaws closing, which seemed to explode like a thunderclap in the jungle.

Without hesitation, Hua Miao jumped off the dragon carriage, drew her sword, and was about to run towards Chen Yan, whose fate was unknown, but before her body even hit the ground, she was caught in a soft, fragrant embrace.

"Chen Yan's Palico, right? I'm Aibo. We've met before, at the head chef's place on the third floor!"

Seeing the cat meowing frantically and struggling desperately to run towards Chen Yan, Aibo quickly reached out to pet it and soothe it.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Chen Yan will be alright, because he's here."

Before Aibo could finish speaking, the massive, tightly closed mouth of the Anjanath, which was about 18 meters long and covered in muscular muscles, was slowly forced open.

From its bloodshot eyes, its trembling, massive head, its short, thick neck with bulging veins, its robust body pressing down with all its might, and its thick claws gripping the ground, it's clear that it didn't open its mouth willingly.

"Chen Yan, hello, I am Azure Star, Aibo's partner. Nice to meet you."

As Chen Yan watched Azure Star slowly pry open the massive jaws of the Anjanath with his arms, he smiled and greeted him with a gentle tone and relaxed expression, as if he were opening not the fiery, fang-filled mouth of the Anjanath, but a large beach umbrella.

A blush rose on Chen Yan's pale face, and he forced a smile.

"Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

The Palico, holding the Azure Star Katana in one paw, tugged at Chen Yan's trouser leg.

"Meow~ Me too, me too! Hello Chen Yan, I'm an Elf from Azure Star. I heard from Flower Meow that you met the Forest Insect Cage Tribe and even befriended them..."

The Azure Star's Elf cat's tail quietly hooked around Chen Yan's leg, climbed onto his shoulder, and spoke in a voice that sounded like "I'm trying so hard to whisper, but everyone can hear me."

"If you have time sometime, please take me to visit you. Thank you!"
