Will Ditto dream of the Monster Hunter Rathalos?

If the guild really wants to punish you, just lie down on the ground and pretend to be sick. It will work. Believe me, no one dares to touch an old man who is half buried in the ground!

Hearing this, Lieren's eyelids and mouth corners twitched.

Suddenly, I felt that "it doesn't seem like it's a good idea to marry Alulu to this brat."

Seeing Lieren's strange expression, Han Xin changed the subject and said:

"Well, I feel like I can definitely defeat the Resentful Tiger Dragon even without you bringing me along."

But Lieren shook his head.

"No, you are the key this time. You are the absolute backup just in case."

"Just in case, a backup plan?"

When these words reached Han Xin's ears, he did not hear the deeper meaning of them. He just felt that Lieren was taking great pains to "assess" him, or that Lieren believed very much in his abilities.

But no matter what, Han Xin felt a little happy.

But just as the two were about to explore the bottom of the cliff,

Lieren suddenly felt something was wrong.

He staggered closer to a big tree, supported his body with his arms, and was obviously breathing heavily.

Seeing this scene, Han Xin immediately stepped forward.

"Are you tired? How about you take a rest for a while and I'll go down and take a look?"

Even though a powerful monster like the Tiger Dragon would be almost dead if it fell off a cliff, there are always unexpected things.

Only when we confirm its body as soon as possible can we be completely relieved.

That's why Han Xin asked Lieren to rest where he was while he went to investigate first.

After all, Lieren is indeed an old grandfather, so it is understandable that he is out of breath.

However, Han Xin originally thought that with Lieren's strong personality, he would naturally say something like "It's okay, we'd better confirm it as soon as possible."

But unexpectedly, Lieren nodded and said:

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll catch up later."

"Huh? Okay, are you okay on your own?"

"Who do you think I am? I'm [Flame], how could anything happen to me? Okay, confirming the life or death of Yuan Hulong is the most important thing. Go quickly."

Hearing this, Han Xin stopped wasting time, nodded, and ran down the mountain.

When Han Xin's figure completely disappeared from Lieren's sight,

The latter finally couldn't stand the pain in his chest anymore,

A large mouthful of thick black blood spurted out of his mouth.

The flowers and plants stained by the black blood withered instantly.

It's like the vitality is cursed, eroded, and plundered.

Lieren's hands were shaking as he supported himself.

Even the vision is a little blurry,

There was a trace of sadness and helplessness in his eyes.

"Grandson-in-law, that's why I said you're the 'absolute backup plan just in case'...

Fortunately, I made it through this time...but next time...

Time is running out... Even if it's the last time, I will protect the village, protect Shuiyun Huoya, and protect... Ye Zi..."

After saying that, Lieren collapsed on the ground.

The hunter's dignity made him not want Han Xin to see him in such an embarrassing state, so he let him go first.

Then, he took out the handkerchief that Huoya gave him that night, but he just glanced at it without wiping the blood stain from the corner of his mouth.

Lieren smiled and put the handkerchief back into his chest pocket again.

……

Han Xin went down the mountain.

After confirming that Lie Ren had not caught up, in order to pursue efficiency, he directly transformed into an electric dragon and dived towards the bottom of the mountain.

However, when they reached the bottom of the mountain, they found a fast-flowing underground river below.

This put Han Xin in a difficult position.

Not to mention that the water washed away all the blood,

In such a turbulent river, whether Yuan Hulong is dead or alive, he may be washed away directly.

Moreover, the underground rivers are interconnected, and trying to find the Yuanhu Dragon is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Chihong, I haven't gained the corresponding experience yet. Does that mean the Tiger Dragon is not dead?"

Thinking of the time when the Jaw Dragon was being eaten by the Fire Dragon couple in front of him, even if he didn't absorb its corpse,

I also gained some experience by hitting it with a dragon egg.

So Han Xin made this guess.

However, Chihong shook his head.

“I’m not sure. Although you can gain experience points by defeating monsters, there is a certain distance limit.

If the monster dies too far away, I won't be able to sense it and won't be able to provide any experience points."

This made Han Xin feel difficult.

Suddenly, Chihong shouted loudly in Han Xin's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Oh my god, this is bad. This resentful tiger dragon will not get away with it, then acquire some unparalleled martial arts skills and finally seek revenge on you, the host?!"

"Ah, aah, aah, Chihong, don't set a flag!

This isn't the first or second time you've been so cynical! "

"No no no!"

Hearing this, Chihong really covered her mouth and nodded desperately.

Han Xin, who was already doubtful about Yuan Hulong's life or death, became even more worried.

Then it transformed into a bubble fox dragon and dived into the dark river, following the current to search for the trace of the resentful tiger dragon.

However, even after patrolling several river branches, nothing was found.

Finally, Han Xin had no choice but to go ashore, turn back into Melalu, and sighed.

"Even if I transformed into a Bubble Fox Dragon that is very good at swimming, it is still very difficult to swim in this river.

There is no reason why Yuan Hulong could survive in this river after suffering such serious injuries.

Perhaps he really died of drowning, and the body was washed too far away, so no experience points could be gained.

After all, how could the clichéd plots in online novels possibly happen to me..."

Chihong still felt a little uneasy.

“Is this… right?”

"Isn't that right?"

As if sensing the solemn atmosphere, Chi Hong joked:

"How do you know if you're living in a novel? Someone might be looking at your teeth right now!"

"Chihong, should I complain that your words are too philosophical, or should I complain that you speak too strangely?

If what you said is true, then everything that happened between me, the cute dragons, and Alulu would have been seen by everyone, right?

You might as well just kill me!"

The two of them chatted casually and returned the same way.

On the way, I met Lieren who had just finished his rest.

At this moment, Lie Ren no longer showed any sign of decline in front of Han Xin. He was as energetic as usual. It was hard to imagine that he was already a terminally ill old man.

"How is it? Have you found the body of the vengeful tiger dragon?"

When Lie Ren asked about this, Han Xin just shook his head and told him about the dark river.

"Is that so... Group of teasing spirits ⒍ silk 镏 (seven) 岜 Wo ⑻"

Although Lie Ren was unable to chase him out of the hunting grounds due to the dark river, it did not violate the guild's rules.

But he still felt uneasy because he couldn't see Yuan Hulong's body with his own eyes.

But now that things have come to this, the man and the cat have indeed completed the task of repelling the resentful tiger dragon in a sense.

At least in the short term, Yanhuo Village will not be frightened because of the relationship between Yuanhulong and Yanhuo Village.

The other dragons in the Feishen Community will also be able to live a peaceful life again.

After discussing for a while, the two decided to stay at the edge of the hunting ground for a few days to observe whether the tiger dragon had the possibility of surviving and returning.

However, several days passed without any unusual incidents, and the rations the two men carried with them were almost gone.

Even if I could continue to delay by hunting Maru-tori or fishing, it seemed pointless.

It is highly likely that Yuan Hulong is really dead this time.

So, the two prepared to return.

But halfway through the journey, Han Xin seemed to be lost in thought and said to Lie Ren:

"Grandpa Lieren, I'd like to stay at the Abandoned Shrine for a while. Please let Alulu know you're safe."

Han Xin had lived in the Feishen community for many years, so Lie Ren naturally had no doubts. He just nodded and indicated that he would pass on the message.

The man and the cat parted ways at the entrance of a wood somewhere.

Han Xin, alone, looked back at the various territories where he had lived, feeling mixed emotions.

"What's wrong, host? Why don't you go back to the village with Lie Ren?"
