Monster Hunter Gathering

"Are there no ancient dragons and those powerful monsters?" Laos was a little disappointed, but not completely disappointed.

After all, the Map King is already a rare and powerful existence in the ecosystem. Apart from those extremely powerful monsters, these monsters are already at the top of their own ecological niches.

[Map King: Usually refers to a powerful monster that occupies a dominant position or has iconic significance in a specific map.]

Just like the two monsters, Rathalos and Triceratops, which are widely found in various regions. (PS: In Monster Hunter World, these are relative quest names—Rathalos for the top of the forest, Triceratops for the bottom of the sand.)

So while Laos felt a little disappointed, he was also looking forward to seeing as many unique monster ecosystems as possible during these hunts, and to tasting the meat of those monsters after the hunt.

"After all, monsters like the Golden Lion and the Exploding Scale Dragon are already creatures that can seriously fight against the Ancient Dragon." Nie Chiwu spread his hands and said, "In fact, I think the Map King is a challenge for us."

"To be fair, in this world rife with monsters, our most iconic map king... the one with the widest range, found in almost every region - the Rathalos."

Nie Chiwu said, "How many of you are absolutely sure you can defeat it alone?"

The hunters fell silent because of what Nie Chiwu said.

Male Rathalos... the most standard map king among all monsters, the top predator in the conventional ecology.

It has a strong flying ability and can fly for a long time with flexible movements. It can accurately attack prey from high altitudes. It can spray high-temperature flames from its mouth and can even burn people on the ground like a bombing.

The King of the Sky——Leorius.

"This is a trial, a challenge." Nie Chiwu walked over to the large round table where the hunters were dining, resting his hands on it. He addressed the assembled hunters, "As hunters, the monsters we must defeat must be more powerful than those on the current list."

"Think about the missions we've completed before... We've never faced a situation where we had to rely on our own strength to resolve it."

Nie Chiwu said, "Now, there's no way to cheat against the Black Eclipse Dragon and the Berserker Dragon-transformed monsters."

"If we can't even hunt these monsters, then if we encounter an ancient dragon again in the future... are we going to have to wait for someone like Xin Meier to finish us off?"

When the hunters were silent, Laos's voice suddenly emerged from the side.

"Speaking of which, fire dragon meat is also a rare delicacy, especially the ribs of a male fire dragon, and the shoulder and pork belly of a female fire dragon..."

Laos' words made the hunters think of the fire dragon meat feast prepared by the cat lady.

Laos continued, "Grandma Cat said that after the fire dragon meat is brought back and processed, it's freshly sliced ​​and grilled on a stone slab, then brushed with a special seasoning...it's even more delicious than roast beef."

Laos' words made the hunters gulp.

"I still remember the first time I came to the gathering, I ate stewed fire dragon tail meat." Laos continued to recall: "Not only was it thick with gelatin, but it also had the flavor of the fire dragon tail marrow melted in the soup. The meat shaved from the tail bone was stewed until it was soft and tender, and I could lick it directly into my stomach..."

"do not talk!!!"

Nie Chiwu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Laos from continuing speaking, and Laos also woke up from his memories. He suddenly found that the hunters around him were like a pack of wolves that had been hungry for a month, breathing rapidly and their eyes were shining.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have said those great things before."

Nie Chiwu's breathing was also a little rapid: "Becoming stronger, taking shortcuts, etc., it doesn't matter anymore."

Nie Chiwu glanced at the hunters around him and slowly said these words.

"Everyone... I want to eat roasted fire dragon meat, what about you?"

The very next moment, the hunters burst out with a strong desire to fight.

"Roast dragon meat! Drink broth! Eat cat food!!!"

The hunters shouted: "Roast dragon meat! Drink broth! Eat cat food!!!"

"Then what else is there to say!!" Nie Chiwu's eyes flashed with ferocity: "Hunting is the most primitive desire of life! It's just to fill your stomach!!!"

"hunting!!!!!"

“Ohh ...

-------------

When Madoka and her group of new hunters returned to the gathering after finishing the hot spring reception in the main world of RE Creation, they saw enthusiastic male hunters preparing their equipment in front of the gate of the base.

"Listen up! There are ten of us! Let's each go out and hunt our targets!" Nie Chiwu said as he set off. "The Felycats will help us point out the monsters we can hunt and capture! We must hunt strictly according to the hunter's rules!"

"Everyone!!! When we get back, let's have a barbecue party together!!! Let's work hard together until we're exhausted! Even until we die!!!"

“Ohh ...

The next moment, the gate of the stronghold was pushed open by the Felynx, and ten hunters carrying various weapons rushed out of the stronghold, caught the pterosaur and went hunting.

"What happened?" Xiang was alert: "Is there an enemy invasion?!"

Those male hunters looked as if they were going to fight for something...

The confused girls wondered what had happened and asked anxiously in the base. Finally, they asked all the way to the cafeteria and saw the two resident receptionists, Qianhu and Yuli, who were slacking off there.

After listening to the girls' concerns, Qianhu and Yuli looked at each other, and then Qianhu held his forehead helplessly and sighed: "They want to eat cat food..."

∑(口||"Huh?" Xiang showed a dull expression: "Why do you look like you're going to the battlefield when you're eating cat food..."

"The captain and his men are going hunting and grilling their own food. They say ingredients hunted by hand are the most delicious." Yuli leaned on the table. "Anyway, the captain and his men suddenly got excited. Maybe that's what boys are like!"

"Male... is that what it is like?" Sakura looked confused.

She didn't seem to feel that her father, brother, and Snow Rabbit brother would suddenly get angry or something...

"I'm not sure either. After all, the Grand Commander and his men have been known to suddenly spring into action before, and they even call the person who makes the suggestion the "Idea King." Qian Hu said expressionlessly, "I'm used to it. Maybe that's just how men act when they get together."

Chapter 315: The Grand Commander Hunts the Fire Dragon

Before we start hunting, let's review what monsters actually mean in this world.

In the ecosystem, from top to bottom, the ecosystem is composed of monsters. Among these monsters, there are either gregarious groups or highly adaptable species. Their naturally strong bodies make them the dominant species in this world. Because of this, this world has [Monster Hunter].

And Nie Chiwu, at this moment, as the leader of the Monster Hunter Gathering, is making serious preparations for the hunt.

When Nie Chiwu took out the telescope, he could see the young male fire dragon in the distance patrolling the surrounding area.

It looked very young, slightly smaller than a normal male fire dragon, and even had no scars on its body... The dark red scales shone with a metallic luster under the sunlight, and the edges of the wing membranes had not yet faded the light green lines.

These traces all prove that this is a young male fire dragon that has just become independent and is preparing to obtain its own initial territory.

When the young male fire dragon's tail swept across the huge rock next to it, the first stroke swept away the moss on the stone, and the second stroke directly drew sparks.

When it noticed a herbivorous dragon in the distance, an unstable orange-red light erupted from the gaps between its throat scales. After several attempts, a fireball mingled with black smoke finally erupted from its mouth, but it landed directly on the herbivorous dragon at a considerable distance, exploding into a ball of fireworks and scaring the lone herbivorous dragon deep into the forest.

"Roar--" The young male fire dragon growled in annoyance, and at the same time he was quickly recovering from the damage to his throat caused by the fire breathing.

It was obvious that it had not yet fully adapted to hunting and living alone. Its expression and skills showed that it was still a young dragon just starting out. And it did not notice that at this moment there was a strange man with a big sword on his back squatting on a huge tree in the distance, staring at it with a telescope.

"The fire dragon's ribs, pork belly, shoulder meat, tail meat..." Nie Chiwu's mouth was drooling.

In fact, Nie Chiwu had already obtained information about this young fire dragon from the Felynx - the hardworking Felynx had been keeping an eye on this newly adult fire dragon for some time.

But... although this fire dragon has reached adulthood, it has already posed a certain threat to the surrounding ecology.

Perhaps because they have just reached adulthood, their hunting is less restricted and has caused widespread damage to surrounding species.

Those creatures in the environment that were not the fire dragon's prey were almost completely wiped out by the young fire dragon's prolonged breath, which also affected the migration of species in this small area...

To sum up, this is a fire dragon that can be defeated directly.

Nie Chiwu jumped directly down from the tree, rolled his body on the ground to relieve the force of the fall, then immersed himself in the short grass and covered himself with an invisible cloak.

General Nie Chi lowered his body another three inches. The fibers of his specially made camouflage cloak rubbed against the long grass, making a rustling sound, which was immediately drowned out by the harsh sound of scales scraping against the rock wall in the distance.

Nie Chiwu lay down in the grass and slowly approached the male fire dragon.

The closer he got, the more Nie Chiwu could smell the slight burnt smell of the male fire dragon with the scent of fiery liquid.

This male fire dragon relied too much on its breath, and this hunting method had caused considerable damage to the surrounding environment. The slight black smoke mixed in its breath just now was due to the excessive use of the flame bag breath.

The male fire dragon seemed to have not realized what was happening. At this moment, it was still annoyed about its failed hunt, and its tail was unconsciously rubbing against the huge rock behind it, emitting a string of sparks.

Nie Chiwu kept approaching the male fire dragon until he was only less than thirty meters away from it.

This distance allowed Nie Chiwu to easily see the scales and limbs of the male fire dragon without relying on a telescope.

It was very young, and perhaps because it used its breath more often instead of hunting with its body, it had very few scars on its body, and its scales and shell were in good condition.

But the opponent seemed a little thin, and the long exhalation had obviously consumed a lot of its strength... This was also one of the reasons that prompted this young male fire dragon to hunt in large numbers.

In order to replenish consumption, I have to hunt, and in order to hunt, I am forced to exhale and consume a lot of energy...

"Very good, just touch it from behind..."

Nie Chiwu continued to approach the male fire dragon. His feet did not make much sound when stepping on the humus soil in the forest. The invisible clothing concealed Nie Chiwu's figure and smell very well, so that the inexperienced male fire dragon did not notice the approaching evil two-legged upright ape dragon.

After Nie Chiwu had already touched the back of the male fire dragon, and was even able to touch its butt with his hand, Nie Chiwu finally raised the catapult in his left hand and directly shot the dye bullet that had been prepared long ago at the male fire dragon.

The colored ball almost instantly aroused the male fire dragon's vigilance, but before it noticed Nie Chiwu behind it, Nie Chiwu launched a surprise attack from behind on the male fire dragon.

The heavy sword slashed horizontally, leaving a deep wound on the fire dragon's hind leg. The intense pain made the young fire dragon roar violently.

The young creature obviously did not have those skilled combat wisdoms. It did not think of relying on tail swinging to eliminate the enemy behind it. It instinctively wanted to flap its wings to fly, then turn around and attack the guy who attacked it with its breath.

However, the next moment when it flapped its wings and took off, Nie Chiwu had already replaced a flash bomb and shot it into the air from the projector, which turned into a strong flash directly in front of it.

"Roar------"

The male fire dragon wailed as it fell from the sky. The strong flash of light brought it dizziness, making it struggle on the ground and find it difficult to stand up.

Nie Chiwu rolled in front of the male fire dragon's head and suddenly hit the male fire dragon's head with his shoulder. The big sword in his hand was dragged behind him and began to accumulate power.

When the big sword hit the male fire dragon's head, it caused a wound so deep that the bone could be seen, but Nie Chiwu's attack had not stopped.

After charging a lot of power, the greatsword was pulled back again, preparing for an attack even more powerful than the previous one.

The True Charged Slash also hit the young fire dragon's head.

"Roar----"

The fire dragon roared even more shrilly than before. Despite a severe head injury, it relied on its incredibly tenacious vitality to stand up again, forcibly accumulating a scorching flame in its throat...

“Even a young monster is still a monster…” Nie Chiwu sighed, but he had already held the sword in front of him: “Come!”

The next moment, an extremely hot breath of fire suddenly exploded in front of Nie Chiwu.

Chapter 316 Air Combat Great Sword!

The fiery breath transmitted through the big sword dried up Nie Chiwu's hair, and the huge impact of the explosion made Nie Chiwu experience something firsthand.

Whether young, old, or in some other state, the pure and powerful vitality of these dragon species makes them absolute monsters.

But because of this, because of this feeling of hunting, this feeling of using various methods, the tiny people using the weapons in their hands to fight against the monsters walking in the wilderness... Nie Chiwu loves Monster Hunter.

After spitting out the charged fireball, the panicked young fire dragon flapped its wings and flew up, reaching a position where the flash bomb could not hit it.

It was shocked by the two sudden serious injuries to its head and wanted to move to another area to regroup and then take revenge on Nie Chiwu.

But the dye ball on its body has made its location appear on Nie Chiwu's map like a bright light.

Nie Chiwu looked at the young male fire dragon gradually moving away, took out the insect guide light from his waist, shook it gently, and urged the guide insects to fly out, find the direction of the fire dragon, and show the hunters the hunting path.

"Hunting is really addictive..."

Nie Chiwu said this and started a long chase with the male fire dragon that had already flown away.

------------

In this huge and lush forest, a huge dragon roar sounded from beside a body of water in the jungle.

The creatures living in the forest were all shaken and fled in all directions by the huge dragon's roar.

Now, about twenty hours have passed since Nie Chiwu initially attacked the male fire dragon. During this long chase, the male fire dragon has fought with Nie Chiwu more than once.

Even the male Rathalos' eyes had adapted to the brightness of the dazzling flash bomb, but no matter where the male Rathalos ran, the little guy who attacked him would always catch up with him and leave new wounds on his body.

The male fire dragon didn't even have a chance to eat... It had previously forcefully attacked a group of herbivorous dragons. When it caught a herbivorous dragon and was about to eat to replenish its strength, the hateful hunter jumped down from some high tree and left a huge wound on its wing membrane.

"Roar------!"

The male fire dragon flew in the air, constantly breathing in the direction of Nie Chiwu. Even his throat had been burned repeatedly by his own flames, and even regeneration was exhausted.

Nie Chiwu also felt that the situation was quite difficult.

Unlike the fire dragon made up of virtual data on the screen, the fire dragon in reality will not deliberately stay only one or two meters above the ground so that hunters can attack its feet and tail with weapons.

Facing this rogue young dragon that could fly and kept repeating the use of its breath, Nie Chiwu also felt that if this fire dragon continued to grow like this, it would be the best among the dung monsters.

Moreover, Nie Chiwu also noticed that the wound on the fire dragon's head that he had initially caused was covered with a layer of new flesh... The monster's powerful vitality gave them terrifying endurance. If it continued like this, Nie Chiwu didn't know how long this hunt would last.

Nie Chiwu looked around the area and some ideas came to his mind.

We must kill this fire dragon right here before it escapes again.
