Monster Hunter Gathering

"No! It's something else entirely!" Nie Chiwu said anxiously, "So why did Qilin attack Arasaka Tower... Shit! We were originally planning to hunt in the Badlands! If Qilin attacks Arasaka Tower, both our plans will be in jeopardy!"

"Kirin...attacks Arasaka Tower???"

David's eyes were filled with question marks.

I haven't even had the chance to stand on the top of Arasaka Tower, how come Jotaro over there has already recited the scene of the Kirin's angry thunder striking the top of Arasaka Tower?

The Kirin was faster than me? I was still looking for support here, but the Kirin, a mythical beast, directly attacked Arasaka Tower?

Should I ask Qilin to fight Arasaka with me?

While David was lost in thought, Arasaka Yorinobu was also confused: "Qilin? That monster is going to attack Arasaka Tower? Why? No, has it already attacked Arasaka Tower?"

"What Qilin?" V still hadn't found the track on Qilin's side, and he was even more confused: "Fuck! What's going on?"

"There's no other way. We can only observe it with our own eyes. There happens to be a place on the hillside at the top of the camp that is very suitable for observing the Qilin..." Nie Chiwu rubbed his temples with a headache. He rummaged through the box next to him and found a few telescopes. Then he climbed to the top of the hillside with a few people, lying on the hillside and carefully looking at the place where the Qilin was in the distance.

The area in the badlands that was barely covered with vegetation has now been completely eaten up.

Even the cacti growing in the evil soil were dug out with their roots, and Qilin's territory was now full of dug pits.

"Why are there so many pits?" Arasaka Yorinobu was a little confused. "What's going on? Where is the Kirin?"

Just after Arasaka Yoriaki finished speaking, a loud noise was heard in the distance.

When a few people looked over with binoculars, they saw that Qilin was digging the ground vigorously with its hooves. It seemed particularly irritable, as if it was looking for something.

"Fuck! What kind of monster is this!" V cursed.

The next moment, they saw that the Qilin turned out a piece of cactus rhizome from the ground, then pounced on it and gobbled up the cactus rhizome into its stomach.

But the Qilin was clearly not satisfied yet, and it quickly continued to dig at the ground...

V had a question mark on his face: "Why do I feel like this monster is starving?"

"Uh... Is it possible that it's just starving to death?" Nie Chiwu touched his chin in embarrassment.

In fact, hunters do not have to challenge Qilin so many times. After all, the real hunting plan has not been formulated yet.

But Nie Chiwu would still call on Kazuma, Jotaro, and Tanjiro to challenge Kirin from time to time...

On the one hand, it is to exercise the hunter's own ability, and on the other hand... it is to throw some materials to Qilin to prevent Qilin from going crazy.

Looking at Qilin's two eyes that were red with hunger, Nie Chiwu felt that if he held back any longer, Qilin would go out and eat people.

"It... doesn't eat people, right?" Arasaka Yorinobu asked after hesitating for a moment.

After receiving the information that the hunters are from another world, Arasaka Yorinobu now really suspects whether Kirin, the monster from another world, is some kind of man-eating beast.

"Probably... not eating it." Nie Chiwu's expression was a little guilty. "After all, you know, the people in Night City have nothing but sour meat and iron. A pound of meat and half a pound of iron, they probably won't eat it..."

"Should?!" Arasaka Yorinobu widened his eyes.

"Fuck! Did you bring this kind of monster here?" V was also incredulous: "What kind of hunters are you?"

"Can you blame us for this? It's an ancient dragon species! Even though you don't know what an ancient dragon species is... it's a natural disaster in the hunter's encyclopedia!" Nie Chiwu said with a look of grievance: "We've tried our best to feed Qilin! Who would have thought that the biggest problem Qilin encountered in this world was being starving..."

Nie Chiwu waved his hand. "Even if there were a small forest, Qilin wouldn't be so hungry. But there are only cacti and weeds near Night City... There's not even a green belt in the city!"

"You cyberpunks, can't you please pay attention to environmental protection, Kora?" Nie Chiwu threw the blame back without hesitation: "Do you understand what sustainable development is?"

Nie Chiwu said this with a sad expression. "Our mythical beast used to live in a world with abundant energy, lush vegetation, and a stable ecosystem. And then, for no apparent reason, it ended up in a desolate place like Night City. Look at its eyes, they're red with hunger. It's so pitiful just thinking about it... And Qilins are vegetarians. They won't attack humans just because they're hungry. You know, hunters' records even show Qilin raising children!"

Nie Chiwu said a lot of things like this, which made Arasaka Yoriaki feel a little ashamed.

V finally reacted: "Fuck! We didn't ruin the environment! Night City has been like this since I was born!"

"It's all the fault of those giant companies." Arasaka Yorinobu clenched his fists.

But David fell into deep thought.

"Captain, is it possible... that the reason Kirin attacked Arasaka Tower was because he was hungry?" David suddenly seemed to have discovered something.

"Huh? If a Qilin is hungry, why would it attack Arasaka? Is it going to eat iron or chew on the mikoshi?" Nie Chiwu scratched his chin. "There's no food for Qilin in Arasaka Tower... huh?"

Nie Chiwu also reacted: "Come to think of it, Arasaka Yorinobu, you just said that Arasaka Saburo has started collecting a large amount of materials in Arasaka Tower to prepare for the production of large quantities of medicine...?"

Nie Chiwu and Arasaka Yoriyuki looked at each other and realized it at the same time.

Then, Nie Chiwu and Arasaka Yoriyuki heard V's exclamation: "Stop talking nonsense! That monster ran away! It ran towards Night City!!!"

"What!"

Nie Chiwu was horrified and grabbed the telescope, looking in the direction of Qilin.

Then, the Grand Commander saw the Qilin, which had been digging for food in the ground, now sprinting towards Night City with red eyes, while the thunderclouds in the sky began to gather in size...

"Fuck you! Changing zones!"

Nie Chiwu threw away the binoculars and turned on the assembly channel: "Emergency assembly!!!!"

"The Kirin went to Arasaka Tower and turned into a blaze!!"

Chapter 238 The Hunt Begins!

"?????"

"??????"

"???"

Following Nie Chiwu's urgent notice, a lot of question marks appeared in the rally channel, and then the rally voice chat exploded.

"What's going on! Didn't we just kidnap Arasaka Yorinobu and come back to work with him?" Kazuma shouted, "Why did Kirin turn into a blazing fire?!!!"

"What's going on?" Iwaya Naofumi asked with great concern: "What exactly happened? What happened to Arasaka Yorinobu now?"

Er Qiao was even more shocked: "I just read it and Qilin ran away!"

When the gathering was in turmoil, Nie Chiwu explained the whole story as quickly as possible.

then……

"Time is urgent, brothers! It's time to advance our hunting plans!" Nie Chiwu said in the assembly voice with a resolute expression: "If you have nothing else to do, come and help! We may have to start the ancient dragon battle directly!"

“It’s too hasty!!!” Kazuma screamed, “We just solved a problem! I haven’t even sat down yet——————”

"What can I do?! This is how hunting works! What can I do if Qilin suddenly changes zones?"

Nie Chiwu said aggrievedly, "Qilin went straight to Arasaka Tower. It's in a berserk state right now... I don't want to fight it in such a hurry."

"Actually... I don't think this matter is as bad as we think." Iwatani Naofumi said after thinking it over. "Perhaps we can use this ability of the Qilin to directly resolve the issue in Night City."

"Ok?"

Nie Chiwu raised his eyebrows: "Tell me more."

…………

Arasaka Yorinobu, I feel very nervous now.

At this moment, Arasaka Yorinobu was sitting on a 70% new motorcycle, with a layer of plate armor on his body...

On the other side, the hunters had already gathered and were squatting in front of the Badlands camp, discussing tactics.

This time, all the hunters except Xinmei arrived at the scene. Xinmei was dealing with the monsters in this world, so he would be a little late.

Nie Chiwu also began his speech passionately.

"Listen carefully, this time we are going to hunt on motorcycles. Qilin is very fast, so we should try our best to surround it..." Nie Chiwu told the hunters about the revised plan.

"The main thing is to drive Qilin to a less crowded section of the road. Also, considering the impact on those companies, we might have to fight Arasaka and Militech..." Nie Chiwu clenched his fists and said, "Get ready! This is our first real Ancient Dragon battle!!!"

"Oh!!"

The hunters high-fived each other and then got on their motorcycles. Kazuma even slicked his hair back, looking like a motorcycle thug from the last century...

"Hey!! All you do when hunting is... riding a few motorcycles?!" V said in disbelief. "Don't you hunters have any... cool technology or something?"

V was also given a motorcycle.

But when V thought about riding this motorcycle to deal with the damn company and the natural disaster monsters, he felt like he was about to laugh out of anger.

"We may not have amazing technology, but we do have amazing bodies." Nie Chiwu scratched his head. "Be content. You know, the first generation of hunters, in order to protect the village, carried their own rice cookers and kitchen knives to kill a unicorn..."

"Huh? Didn't I see in the special report that he was wielding a one-handed sword?" Laos was puzzled. "So the hunter also fights with a pot... just like Sensi..."

"It's impossible no matter how you think about it! No matter how you look at it, it seems that Nie Chiwu is smuggling something in!!!" Kazuma shouted.

"Because the one-handed sword is really getting weaker and weaker!!!" Nie Chiwu angrily hammered the motorcycle: "Other weapons can do damage! They can look cool! They can even provide wheelchairs!"

"The one-handed sword is a pure hymn to human courage, asshole! The new one-handed sword is too weak!!!"

"Do you dare to say this while looking at Xin Meir?" Er Qiao raised his eyebrows.

Xin Meier, in order to adapt to the traditional one-handed sword combat, chose a one-handed sword as his weapon. Currently, he is undoubtedly the most powerful person in the gathering...

Although he couldn't come for a while because he was helping the villagers deal with monsters in his own world, he is undoubtedly a one-handed hunter...

"Xin Mei'er is incredibly strong!" Nie Chiwu argued. "Alright! Qilin is probably about to enter the city! Let's get ready to go!"

Nie Chiwu said this, took out his hunter's weapon, and got on the motorcycle directly: "Arasaka Yoriaki, in your opinion..."

"After discovering the Kirin, what will Arasaka Saburo do?"

Nie Chiwu looked straight at Arasaka Yorinobu.

After a moment of silence, Arasaka Yorinobu said, "He definitely won't stay in Arasaka Tower, but I should be able to guess where he'll go... He'll probably take my sister Hanako with him. I've resisted him for so long, so I can still guess that."

"Then... V, how about you and Arasaka Yorinobu go together?" Nie Chiwu turned to look at V. "As you can see, our main battlefield will definitely be the melee with the company and Qilin. Although you have a strong future, you are not at that level yet."

"I understand. I will follow Arasaka Yorinobu and blow up that bald head of Arasaka Saburo." V said viciously.

"Then... Kazuma, please help me follow." Nie Chiwu began to make arrangements seriously: "You are the most suitable for this kind of occasion."

“Humph, this feeling… Mr. Kazuma doesn’t mind it.” Kazuma rubbed his nose proudly and slung his bow. “I’m a very strong adventurer… As long as there are no teammates who hold me back.”

"So you know how to plan tactics." V looked at Nie Chiwu and breathed a sigh of relief. "I almost thought you were the kind of reckless man who wouldn't make any plans and would just rush forward..."

"Ahahaha, how is that possible? We hunters are all experts with plans..."

Nie Chiwu laughed and turned the throttle of his motorcycle. "Great! The rest of you! Charge with me! Charge straight into Night City!!"

“Ah, ho——————————————”

Nie Chiwu let out a strange cry and rushed out. The next moment, the other hunters also started their motorcycles.

A group of hunters, with the momentum of the saviors of the end of the century, charged towards Night City...

"Aren't we still rushing forward together!!!"

Update a few hours later

I overslept, so it's too late to write. I have to pack up and leave my hometown in two days. I have to clean up the house before leaving.

Chapter 239 Hunting time!

"So we're just going to follow this little guy?" V watched the hunters rush out like thugs at the end of the century. He glanced at Sato Kazuma and said to Arasaka Yorinobu, "Is it really okay with just the three of us?"

"I remember there should be that monster in Arasaka? The one called Adam's Hammer?" V said.

Kazuma pinched his waist in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by short? I am very strong, Kazuma!"

"What are you good at?"

V looked at Kazuma with some suspicion. Although he had followed Kazuma into the Blue Sky Building before, he was now preparing to kill Saburo Arasaka.

"Stealth, stealing, and I'm incredibly lucky." Kazuma raised his nose proudly.

"What are you so proud of?" V felt his temper rising. "You're just a simple street thief and pickpocket! Are you really a hunter?"

Kazuma was furious when he heard this, "What do you mean by a mere thief and pickpocket?! I'm a hero from another world! The kind that fights demon lords!"

Although Kazuma has no intention of fighting the Demon King, it does not affect Kazuma's self-flattery in other worlds.

"Why is it that the hero from another world is good at stealing!" V glared at him, "What are you planning to steal? The Demon King's pants?"

"Kazuma, how far can you go in stealing?" Arasaka Yorinobu asked after calming down a little.
