Monster Hunter Gathering

Doc and David knew each other because David helped Doc sell Mewtwo, so they got to know each other through interactions.

Doc always thought that his relationship with David was just so-so, but today he suddenly received a message from that guy's girlfriend.

The video shows David's accident.

Doc didn't want to care about it at first, but after lying down and watching Mewtwo for a while, Doc felt a little uncomfortable, so in the end Doc put on a prosthetic hand and went out to drive to find David.

As a result, when Doc found the location, not only did he not find David, but when he returned, he found that his clinic had been bombed, and there was even smoke coming out of the top of the clinic...

Then, Doc saw the door of his clinic. After cursing, he slowly fell down, revealing David and Lucy hugging each other and getting closer and closer behind the door...

Veins popped out on Doc's forehead. "You...sent me away just to do this in my clinic?"

"! No! You misunderstood!" David obviously felt that his reputation was damaged, so he quickly let go of Lucy and raised his hands, but just as he raised his hands, a column of blood spurted out of David's nose like a water gun, and then David fell backwards.

“DAVID!!!!!!!!!”

A few minutes later, David regained consciousness and found himself in the back seat of a car. When he looked up, he could see Lucy's face and felt a wonderful sensation on the back of his head.

"Heaven?" David cried out.

"Hell! Boy!"

Doc cursed directly from the driver's seat: "What the hell did you get involved with? You even killed Adam's Hammer! If you stay there any longer, Arasaka will definitely catch up!"

"And... how long have you been using that Sian Westin?! You're not going to get your brain fried! You weren't running that thing the whole time you were hammering Adam, were you?"

"No... I didn't..." David felt that his body was full of strength at this moment, but he was extremely tired mentally, and his whole body was limp.

"Sian Westin is long gone..." David said, "But after losing my prosthetic body, I can still use the functions of Sian Westin, so I..."

When David said this, the car Doc was driving suddenly shook, as if Doc made a driving mistake after listening to David's words.

"You idiot..." Doc cursed, "What do you think Sian Westin is used for?!"

"A prosthetic body that can slow down time..." David said somewhat listlessly.

"It's a neural reaction acceleration plug-in! You little idiot!" Doc scolded David. "A real plug-in only needs a small chip! That whole prosthetic frame is to prevent you from accelerating and burning your brain out! It's a protective measure!!!"

"You can activate neural acceleration without Sianwestin... How many times have you used Sianwestin?! Your nervous system has already adapted to that state! It's okay to have protection in this situation..."

"And you, an idiot! You used neural acceleration without a protective frame! And you killed Adam Hammer... Damn it! You're a real freak!!!"

"Doc, is David... going to be in trouble?" Lucy asked with some heartache as she looked at David resting his head on her thighs.

"A normal person would be half crippled if not dead, but I don't know what kind of organization this kid joined... Have you been transformed? All the prosthetics are gone! But you can even make Adam Sledgehammer, who only has half a brain left, into a whole one! Even if he only has a brain left, I think he can be saved!" Doc cursed while driving, "Asshole... If you have this organization, don't lure Adam Sledgehammer into my clinic! You've destroyed all my belongings!"

"Haha..." David forced a laugh. "I'll compensate you, Doc."

David's spirit is gradually recovering.

David realized that he collapsed because nerve damage was more difficult to heal than the body itself, so his super recovery ability could not keep up with his overdraft and he finally collapsed.

Now Doc should be taking himself and Lucy away from the place where Adam died with the hammer, so as to avoid being chased by Arasaka...but his work has been completed.

David opened the meeting panel, and then... sent his message in the meeting channel.

[Adam's Hammer...I've already taken care of it! I win!]

David clenched his fists.

"I did it! With Lucy! We changed this fucking future!"

David's message spread to all hunters' gathering channels in an instant.

Kazuma, who was at the camp, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing David's news.

"Huh...Luckily David and Lucy are okay..."

Naofumi Iwatani, who was almost at Arasaka Tower, also nodded, closed the meeting channel and prepared to climb the tower.

And at this moment, on top of Arasaka Tower...

"Pfft, cough, cough..."

Nie Chiwu was kicked in the chest by Qilin, and his ribs were broken almost instantly. His heart was also hit hard. Nie Chiwu crashed into the fence on the top of Arasaka Tower and was embedded in it.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Nie Chiwu saw the message from David while drinking the recovery medicine.

"Great, cough cough cough... This is exactly what I wanted to see..." Nie Chiwu shouted "good" and spit out two more mouthfuls of blood. Then the recovery medicine brought his health back to normal. He stood up again and rushed towards Qilin.

"David has already completed his life's mission! How can we fall behind!"

"Come on, little white horse Thunder!!! Today I'll show you what sunshine and rainbows are!!!"

Nie Chiwu carried the insect stick and did a high pole vault into the air, and fired a marking bullet directly at the Qilin in the air, allowing the hunting insect to directly lock onto the Qilin and attack.

"Listen up! Our goal...is to drag them to Xinmeier!"

"Before he arrives! We must weaken Qilin as much as possible!" Nie Chiwu shouted: "First..."

“Let’s find a way to break off the horns!!!!!”

There were now several more wounds on Qilin's crystal clear horn than before.

Those are the marks left by the hunters who besieged here for the unicorn horn.

This also made Qilin... even more angry.

Chapter 262 The Grand Leader’s Coming of Age Ceremony!

In the world of Monster Hunter, monsters are creatures that occupy the world's primary ecological environment. Those that hunters define as monsters are generally powerful enough creatures in the corresponding area...

Monsters come in a wide variety of species and races, forming a fairly complete ecosystem. Depending on the region, the monster populations will vary, though some are highly adaptable, capable of surviving in most environments and even migrating between continents.

And in this ecosystem, the monsters also have one thing in common... their vitality is so strong that it can be said to be terrifying.

This point is also vividly demonstrated in the Qilin, an ancient dragon species.

The Qilin, who had been hungry in this world for who knows how long, had gone through such a long chase and fought with so many hunters on the top of the tower for such a long time, but still showed no signs of exhaustion.

Instead, the hunters were like a group of cockroaches. They were knocked down one by one, and then rushed up again, delaying Qilin on the top of the tower.

Nie Chiwu was fully aware of the current situation.

Although everyone says that Qilin is the shame of ancient dragons... and is the only lower-level ancient dragon...

But in the real world of Monster Hunter, there is no distinction between high and low ancient dragons. An ancient dragon is an ancient dragon... Even the weaker Qilin among the ancient dragons is definitely not an opponent that current hunters can defeat through fighting.

Among the hunters today, there is only one who can fight against Qilin, the true perfect hero - Xinmeier.

But... if everything depends on Tianzun, then what are the uses of these people being hunters?

Why not change the name to Cat Rice Bucket Club!!

Nie Chiwu rushed towards Qilin with a bottle of recovery medicine in his mouth, as if he was crazy with killing intent. In order to avoid Qilin's lightning, Nie Chiwu forcibly changed his direction twice in the air. He hit Qilin's back hard with the insect stick and jumped up again. With the insect stick with three lights on, he turned over and smashed it towards Qilin's head.

The Qilin's reaction was faster than Nie Chiwu had imagined. Its roar swelled with thunder, its long, nimble neck swung, and its spiral horns twisted the lightning bolts falling from the sky into arcs. The first lightning bolt barely grazed Nie Chiwu's body before landing on the Qilin's horn, but the second one bit the hem of Nie Chiwu's armor.

Nie Chiwu watched helplessly as the Qilin's body suddenly twisted in place, changing its direction, and its hind legs suddenly kicked the ground, turning its body so that its entire body was almost perpendicular to the ground. Its hind legs kicked straight into the sky, and it burst out with tremendous force, kicking Nie Chiwu's insect stick from bottom to top.

The enormous force almost shook the insect stick out of Nie Chiwu's hand. Nie Chiwu's somersault was completely shattered by Qilin, which also kicked Nie Chiwu uncontrollably towards the third lightning arrow in the sky.

Nie Chiwu's entire face turned black, his hair began to stand up unnaturally, and a huge electric current fell directly from the sky and penetrated Nie Chiwu's body.

The electric current paralyzed Nie Chiwu's body. Although his subjective consciousness urged Nie Chiwu to react, Nie Chiwu was unable to control his body which was penetrated by the electric current.

When Nie Chiwu fell again, Qilin kicked Nie Chiwu's waist armor with its hoof. The sound of metal deformation and bone breaking sounded almost at the same time, mixed together into a muffled sound, and Nie Chiwu was kicked out like a cannonball.

"Hermit Purple!"

At the moment when Nie Chiwu was about to fly out of the top of the tower, Er Qiao took action. A large number of thorns that were invisible to ordinary people burst out from Er Qiao's hands and wrapped around Nie Chiwu's body. It took almost all of his strength to pull Nie Chiwu back to the top of the tower.

And when Nie Chiwu was knocked away, Tanjiro and Laos stood in front of Qilin.

As the second group of hunters to join the gathering, the gap in strength between the two and Nie Chiwu and the others was not that big, and they even had their own advantages due to their previous experience.

The moment Nie Chiwu was repelled, Laos used the transformed axe to cut in against the Qilin's lightning. The heavy chop in sword mode forced the Qilin to raise its hooves for defense. At the moment when the Qilin was defending, Tanjiro jumped up from behind Laos, stepped on Laos's shoulder and used the air blade to cut at the Qilin's horn.

Tanjiro's timing was very precise, and the sword was almost about to chop the Kirin's horn, but rich plasma suddenly burst out from the Kirin's mane, and the sword swung by Tanjiro was bounced away.

Laos anxiously pulled the trigger of the sword form of the Axe, and the mechanical bite sound of the energy bottle being charged activated the zero attribute liberation. But when the blade just emitted violent energy and was about to touch the Qilin's shoulder blade, lightning had already covered Laos' body.

The terrifying electric current changed Laos' hairstyle in an instant, and at the same time, the close-range explosion of lightning blew the two away.

The metal parts of Tanjiro and Laos' equipment were emitting terrifying heat under the high-voltage electric current. Laos also felt as if he was being roasted.

Qilin and the hunter maintained this rhythm and attacked each other.

The hunters rushed forward again after recovering with recovery potions and secret medicines, but Qilin did not hesitate to beat the hunters to the brink of death with his terrifying thunder and brutal body.

Hunters also use this method of torturing themselves to hone their abilities.

Nie Chiwu used this Qilin as a sparring partner for the hunters, trying to use it to promote the growth of the current hunters.

They may encounter more and more things in the future. Hunters cannot expect that every monster can be killed mechanically like the winged lion. Sooner or later, there will be problems that must be solved by force.

"Captain, the Qilin... is truly powerful." Er Qiao and Nie Chiwu supported each other as they stood up. "When I think about encountering even more terrifying ancient dragons in the future, I feel like I don't want to be a hunter anymore."

"Shouldn't we be motivated to challenge?" Nie Chiwu asked bluntly, "Come to think of it, the Qilin's horns have already accumulated quite a bit of damage..."

"Hmm?" Er Qiao immediately understood what Nie Chiwu was saying. "What do you want to do?"

"Nothing, it just suddenly occurred to me that I haven't told you about a creature called... the Golden Lion." Nie Chiwu released Er Qiao and, after struggling to stand up, said, "The black monkey's nickname is the Grand Commander, but the Golden Lion has a special custom, or perhaps a common understanding..."

"Listen to me!" Nie Chiwu shouted, keeping everyone in suspense. "Today, I'll show you what a grand master's coming-of-age ceremony is like!"

Leave

I have to take a five-hour bus ride today, more than two hours each way. I’m already on the bus and will update when I get back in the evening.

Stomach pain, maybe I caught a cold from riding in the car

I'll take it easy and update during the day. This really gives me a stomachache...

Chapter 263 Kirin Battle 1

Just when Naofumi Iwaya arrived at the bottom of the tower and was about to challenge Qilin, he suddenly received a message from Nie Chiwu.

"Shang Wen, I have something to entrust to you and Er Qiao."

After Naofumi Iwaya received this message, Jotaro, who was originally on the roof, jumped directly down from the roof and landed on the ground with her knees that made the witcher next door extremely envious, which made Naofumi Iwaya a little confused.

"JOJO, what does Nie Chiwu... want us to do?" Naofumi Iwaya asked Jotaro in confusion.

"Nie Chiwu has made a plan." Er Qiao whispered to Iwaya Naofumi, "We need to get busy before Xin Meier arrives."

"Plan? Isn't Qilin on the tower right now?"

Iwatani Naofumi pressed the issue, "Could it be that they want us to intercept those from other companies who might try to get here? But with the electromagnetic field so intense around Arasaka Tower right now, those companies' troops should have been severely affected, right?"

"... Kazuma will take Arasaka Yorinobu and V to fight for control of Arasaka." Jotaro began to explain, "We don't need to worry about the affairs of other companies in Night City... With Arasaka Yorinobu here, Night City will not be attacked by large-scale weapons of mass destruction."

"What we need to do now is destroy the mikoshi in Night City." Qiao Qiao looked at Iwatani Naofumi. "So it has to be the two of us... We need to get ready quickly before Xin Meier arrives."

"Prepare? What preparations?" Naofumi Iwatani frowned. "Use the Kirin to destroy the mikoshi? But the mikoshi database... we can only blow up the mikoshi in Night City, right?"

“So, we need to lend a hand.”

Qiao Er said: "In the world of Cyberpunk, there is a group of people who can get rid of the mikoshi... Although the people in this world are very dangerous to Cyberpunk itself, but..."

"We've already contacted Arasaka Yoshinobu. The losses that are about to happen to Night City are still within the tolerance of Arasaka Corporation!"

"I! Will use the Hermit Purple! To telepathically inscribe those roaming AIs outside the Black Wall into the mikoshi!" Qiao Qiao clenched her fists. "As for Shangwen, all you have to do is prepare a passage inside Arasaka Tower for Nie Chiwu and Qilin... a passage that goes straight from the top of Arasaka Tower to the underground."

"!" Naofumi Iwatani frowned slightly. "AI outside the Black Wall? Isn't that very dangerous? They seem to have the ability to affect the residents of Night City..."

"So, this matter is now in the charge of Shirou and Yangle. They have already returned to the camp to change their equipment." Qiao Er said: "Do you remember what we did in the Infinite City?"

"Ah... I see." Naofumi Iwatani guessed what Qiao Qi was talking about: "Imagine it feels a bit like a horror movie..."

"I don't know if the body doctors will make a fortune, after all, this may bring in a lot of business. All right, let's take action!" Er Qiao clenched his weapons: "Time waits for no one!"

As Qiao Er said this, Emiya Shirou and Yang Le, who had just rushed out of the camp, were looking at the map of Night City, each looking for a point that would cover Night City to the greatest extent possible, in order to ensure their influence...

Shirou and Yang Le rushed to the north and south of the city respectively, and they both changed into new equipment, and the skills that came with the equipment were... wide-area expansion.

The two new hunters stayed at their respective positions, waiting for the signal from the assembly channel.
