Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests

Only Chen Yan remained lingering at the bottom of the sand dunes.

Even with Mrs. Horned Dragon's extra care, the surging sand and gravel caused him to fall several times, tumbling and tumbling to the bottom of the sand.

Seeing Chen Yan's predicament, Hua Miao grew anxious.

"Boss, talk to your godmother and ask her to let you have some water, otherwise you won't be able to climb up even if you climb all night!"

The baby horned dinosaur approached its mother and whimpered repeatedly, begging her to let it have water, but the horned dinosaur ignored her and even sped up its sand-digging.

Seeing that Chen Yan had tried several times but still couldn't climb even a little bit, and his face had turned pale from exhaustion, Hua Miao became completely anxious.

Ignoring Mrs. Horned Dragon's fierce gaze, it curled up and rolled down, while the baby Horned Dragon tried to rush down as well, but the mother dragon suddenly smashed her axe in front of it, blocking its path.

The baby horned dinosaur was startled. It looked up at its mother and let out a few whimpers, but its mother responded with a low growl. The blatant threat made it shrink back in fear.

Having been raised with almost excessive pampering, this was the first time it had been scolded by its mother dragon. It felt extremely wronged and terrified.

But when it heard Chen Yan and Hua Miao struggling to crawl, supporting each other, it resolutely turned around, pushed aside the mother dragon's tail axe, and slid down the slope with determination.

Little did it know that the moment it turned around, the mother dragon's feigned fierce gaze vanished, replaced by a look of relief mixed with bittersweetness.

Its child has grown up so much...

The little horned dinosaur carried Chen Yan, the cat, back to the top of the dune, feeling uneasy. It thought its mother dinosaur would be angry and furious, but to its surprise, she looked at the stacked dragon, human, and cat, and simply stroked each of them with her rough wing claws before dragging them back to the nest.

The setting sun cast its glow upon Mrs. Horned Dragon, who walked slowly and steadily, for her children were fast asleep. Even when returning to the nest, she moved backwards and slowly made her way in.

It gently placed the flower cat, Chen Yan, and the little horned dragon into the grass nest one by one.

The grass nest was full, so it casually found a corner to lie down. Training their running and digging abilities was also a very tiring task for dragons.

Before resting, however, it licked its slightly blackened carapace with a puzzled look.

Chapter 142 I'll kill you!

When Chen Yan woke up from the smell, he felt that every bone, every muscle, and every inch of skin in his body was sore and uncomfortable.

He wriggled under the little horned dinosaur's wing claws, rubbing against its hard yet soft claw soles like a massage stone, his face full of soreness and pleasure.

Meanwhile, the cat wriggled into Chen Yan's hand and rubbed against his fingers like a massage stone, its face also showing signs of intense pleasure.

After relaxing their muscles and bones, the dragon, the human, and the cat began to stare longingly at Mrs. Horned Dragon, who was chewing on cactus fruit, waiting for her to feed them.

But when I actually tasted it, the porridge that used to taste so sweet didn't taste sweet at all this time.

The baby horned dinosaur was fine, eating with relish, but Chen Yan and Hua Miao felt more and more like crying as they ate.

No matter how much porridge I eat, my stomach still feels empty, which makes me feel uneasy.

The cat, slurping its mushy food, poked at Chen Yan with a pained expression, its eyes telling him that it desperately wanted to eat meat, so much so that it had never thought of it before.

Since arriving here, I haven't eaten meat for several days in a row; I've been eating either porridge or cactus fruit.

I don't usually feel it when I'm lying down, but after exercising vigorously today, I feel like every cell in my body is craving meat.

Unlike the herbivorous horned dinosaurs, Chen Yan and Hua Miao couldn't get much energy just from eating cactus fruit paste.

Chen Yan gave Hua Miao a reassuring look, determined to treat it to a good meal tonight.

They waited until Mrs. Hornedosaurus went out to forage for food and the baby Hornedosaurus fell asleep before they quietly crawled out of the nest one after the other.

Chen Yan dragged Hua Miao stumbled and fell to the entrance of the lynx cave in the wasteland. When he arrived at the door, he looked at the slope with a slight angle. Having climbed the slope for half a day, Chen Yan had developed a psychological aversion to it and no longer had the strength to climb up.

Just as Chen Yan was trying to summon Harley telepathically, a large group of lynxes suddenly ran out, lifted Chen Yan and Flower Cat up with their claws and feet, and carried them into the cave.

Upon entering, they saw Harley holding a small fan woven from leaves, slowly fanning the plump herbivorous dragon roasting over the campfire. The rich aroma of the meat completely shattered Chen Yan and Hua Miao's mental fortitude.

Chen Yan was alright, he tried to remain calm, and with trembling hands he played with the little cat. The cat was completely starving and was clinging to Harley's leg, crying and begging for meat.

In the past, Chen Yan's favorite food was roasted herbivorous dragon tenderloin, but today he felt that the tenderloin had too much lean meat and too little fat, and it was far less delicious than holding a herbivorous dragon hind leg with a good balance of fat and lean meat and gnawing on it.

Flower Cat also went crazy eating, shoveling the grilled meat skewers into her mouth like she was drinking noodles. She filled a bowl with both fatty and lean meat and started drinking. The wild eating habits of the two of them were quite an eye-opener for the lynxes.

After eating and drinking his fill, Chen Yan nestled comfortably on a soft cushion woven from cat fur, quietly savoring the oily taste rising in his throat.

The cat was also fast asleep beside him, with half a meat skewer still clutched in its paw.

"Thanks, Harley! I'm finally alive..."

There was still a lot left. Harley, who was busy dividing the meat among the lynxes, glared at him. Chen Yan understood and immediately squeezed over to help.

The lynxes also had a rare treat.

Afterwards, the two sat in front of the small campfire, flipping through her notebook. Perhaps afraid that Chen Yan couldn't see it clearly, she leaned closer, almost snuggling into his arms.

Little did she know that Chen Yan, who possessed night vision, could clearly see the shyness shimmering in her eyes.

Chen Yan waved and wrapped her in the cushion as well.

"You mean, Teostra and Lunastra are most likely to appear in these two locations?"

Chen Yan pointed to the northeast and southeast corners of the simple map. One was near the majestic mountain range that encircled the coral plateau, and the other was right next to the sea.

"Yes, the wind blowing from the northeast corner is always unusually hot, day and night. Some of the monsters living in the southeast corner are migrating, and that dragon slayer is one of them. So far, it seems that only these two places are strange."

Chen Yan sat up abruptly. Now that he had a target, he should hurry up and investigate. He hadn't avenged the little horned dragon's near death yet!

However, Harley, who is always a woman of action, held him back.

"No rush, let's wait a few more days."

Chen Yan wondered why he had to wait a few days, but Harley didn't say much. She simply reached out and gently massaged Chen Yan.

"You usually massage me, but this time I'll massage you instead..."

...

Mrs. Diablos's training continues.

In the morning, I chased Chen Yan and the others around like crazy; in the afternoon, I led them up a hill; and in the evening, I carried them back on my back.

The monsters of the New World were incredibly strong, the hunters were talented, and the Palicoes were resilient. In just a few days, their performance improved dramatically.

Let's start with running laps.

Hua Miao successfully broke the five-lap mark, reaching a new record of five and a half laps.

The small horned dragon also broke through the eight-lap mark, and even took the lead in the first few laps, but its stamina was slightly lacking in the later stages.

Chen Yan no longer pursued the number of laps, but instead aimed to catch up with Mrs. Horned Dragon after winning the laps.

Let's talk about climbing hills.

The cat remained relaxed.

The little horned dragon didn't exert much effort either.

Chen Yan managed to climb up on his own, albeit with some stumbles and falls.

Everyone passed.

Under the setting sun, a large dragon, a small dragon, a person, and a cat walked home together. The cat jumped around in the middle, its chubby body visibly thinner, and it looked much more energetic.

The baby horned dinosaur had grown quite a bit, and judging from its size, anyone could tell that it was already an adult dinosaur, although it was still very dependent on its mother.

Chen Yan also got quite a tan, but his eyes looked even brighter.

Back in their nest, Mrs. Horned Dragon immediately plunged into the pile of cactus fruits and ate voraciously. After sleeping for a while, she regurgitated an unusually large amount of mushy mush. Little Horned Dragon knew there was no room for him, so he could only watch enviously.

Just as Chen Yan and Hua Miao, looking miserable, were about to go forward to eat, Mrs. Horned Dragon swatted them away with a wing.

It beckoned the baby horned dinosaur to come and eat, and the baby horned dinosaur was overjoyed and immediately plunged in to devour it.

The mother dragon watched it finish eating.

Chen Yan and Hua Miao weren't even allowed to share the grass nest tonight. Mrs. Horned Dragon spread her wings and hugged Miss Horned Dragon. The mother and daughter cuddled together and whispered to each other. The sudden maternal love made the little Horned Dragon feel so happy that she almost melted.

Mrs. Triceratops didn't go out to forage tonight either; she just quietly coaxed, stayed with, and accompanied it through the whole night.

Chen Yan and Hua Miao, who were huddled in the corner, exchanged a glance and had a vague idea in their minds.

Sure enough, the next morning, when the baby horned dinosaur emerged from its nest, stretching its claws, spreading its wings, and kicking its legs in preparation for today's training, it did not hear its mother's urging roar.

It turned back in confusion and found that the mother dragon had not followed it out.

It tried to burrow back, but nearly crashed into the rock blocking the entrance.

Staring at the stone that was tightly blocked from the inside, it froze, its eyes shifting from confusion to disbelief in just a few seconds.

Then, as if possessed, it went berserk, stabbing with its horns, slashing with its tail axe, flapping with its wing claws, and ramming into things with its dragon chariot...

Seeing that it couldn't get the stone open no matter what it tried, it started burrowing into the ground, but the mother dragon was prepared and couldn't get in no matter how hard it tried.

In the end, it tried everything but failed to see the mother dragon.

It huddled outside the door, whimpering loudly, its dragon tears flowing freely.

After a long while, the little horned dragon looked at the still tightly closed cave entrance and let out a mournful howl. Ignoring Chen Yan and Hua Miao's attempts to stop it, it rushed into the distance.

Harley, who had just arrived, sighed softly. She had seen this scene many times before. She had anticipated this a few days ago, which was why she had asked Chen Yan to wait a few more days.

"I'll go find the baby horned dragon; you go and talk to it..."

Chen Yan nodded and crawled into a ventilation gap.

But as soon as she entered, Mrs. Horned Dragon pressed her down beneath her. Her eyes were fierce, her mouth was half-open, and she looked as if she wanted to eat him.

But Chen Yan could clearly see the tear stains remaining in the corners of its eyes.

"Well, there's really no need to chase it away. Wouldn't it be better if everyone lived together peacefully and happily..."

Mrs. Horned Dragon's roar nearly deafened Chen Yan.

"I'm not saying this is bad, but this is a bit too sudden. Yesterday you were kissing me, feeding me, and coaxing me to sleep, and this morning you've turned on me like I'm nothing..."

His response was still a loud roar.

"Alright, alright, even if you want to send it away to live on its own, there's no need to use such a heartbreaking method. If I had such a cute, beautiful, gentle, and obedient daughter dragon, I'd spoil her rotten every day, how could I bear to send her away..."

Seeing that it was about to roar again, Chen Yan got annoyed by the stubborn horned dragon's wife.

"What are you yelling about? Calling you 'Mom' is giving you face. Don't you even know that I, Master Chen, can beat up Ao Tu Na? Why would I be afraid of a little half-black, half-yellow female horned dragon like you?"

"..."

Chen Yan jumped out of the ventilation gap as if his butt was on fire.
