Monster Hunter Gathering

"Good morning, Sensi." Laos felt that he had slept so soundly, which was a rare occasion. In order to deal with the next things, Laos also tried his best to rest his mind.

"Good morning, Laos." Sensi was frying herbivorous dragon eggs in the kitchen and turned around to reply Laos: "You look like you slept well. Please sit down first. You can have breakfast later."

"Oh... um?" As soon as Laos walked to the table in the living room, he saw Nie Chiwu sleeping next to it. "Is the commander up so early?"

"When I got up, he was already asleep next to the table," Sensi said as he flipped the solidified egg in a frying pan. "It seems like as the leader of those guys, he has a lot to worry about."

"..."

At this moment, Chirchak also walked down from upstairs with dark circles under his eyes. When he saw Laos and Nie Chiwu sleeping on the table, he was instinctively startled, then he patted his face and walked down.

"Did Chilchak drink too much last night? He looked like he didn't sleep well." Laos asked with concern.

Originally, Chirchak was planning to drag Laos along to talk about what happened last night, but for some reason, looking at Laos's smiling face, Chirchak was afraid that he would reach a consensus with the other party...

In the end, Chilchak could only swallow what happened last night.

"The next step is to unlock the seal of the winged lion and become the master of the labyrinth." Laos said, "First, we need to wake up Malusil."

Laos also stood up before breakfast: "She hasn't gotten up yet, I'll go upstairs and call her."

"etc……!"

Chilchak raised his voice, almost cracking, "She drank too much last night! She's hungover now! Let her sleep a little longer!"

"That's it..."

Laos sat down again: "Then let's have breakfast first. Joseph and the others should be getting up soon..."

As Laos said this, Jotaro and the others, who were yawning, also walked over from the direction of the warehouse. Their hair was messy from sleeping, and they were yawning together.

"Breakfast is ready. Call Nie Chiwu to eat." Senxi also brought out the fried herbivorous dragon egg rolls at this time: "You will feel listless if you don't eat breakfast."

"I'll do it!" Hearing this, Kazuma ran to Nie Chiwu eagerly and slapped Nie Chiwu's face with all the strength he had from drinking the recovery potion: "Hey! Get up!"

"Okay! Let's start with a hundred! But I have to get one super ancient one!" Nie Chiwu was woken up by Kazuma. He suddenly sat up straight from his sleep and said this. Then he looked at the breakfast that had been placed in front of him and squinted his eyelids: "Why are you having breakfast already..."

"What do you mean by 100? Fish?" Senxi asked. "If it's fish, I know a lot of ways to cook them."

"Fish...? Not really, more like a snake!" Nie Chiwu shook his head and replied, "What a sweet dream!"

"..."

After hearing what Nie Chiwu said, Qierchak almost buried his neck under the table.

One hundred... Is this the monster called the King of Snakes that we talked about last night?

It would be terrible if such a person really became the master of the maze!

The world will be destroyed! Races will be exterminated!

Chirchak, feeling as if he had shouldered the burden of saving the world, began to speak frantically, "Right! We've already defeated the Mad Mage! Shouldn't we find a way to get up there too?"

"Oh right! Island Master! I need to talk to you first about defeating the Mad Magician!" Chirchak said with effort, "And other things..."

Chapter 88 Meeting with the Elves

Chilchak is really a little panicked now.

His appearance also made Laos look at him curiously: "Chilchak, why do you look so anxious?"

"This one……"

Qierchak didn't know what to say for a moment, but Nie Chiwu laughed: "He must be anxious to go back to see his wife and daughter! After all, he is a reliable adult with three daughters!"

"!"

Chilchak became even more anxious, but he couldn't find any other excuse. In the end, he could only eat this long breakfast slowly and anxiously.

After finishing his breakfast the fastest, Laos ran to the window and began to observe the situation outside.

"The elves should be here today, right? I wonder when I can see them again..." Laos looked outside, trying to see if there were any traces.

There happened to be an unnatural cave on the outer wall of the maze, which looked like it had been forcibly opened.

"!"

Laos was also surprised by this. That should be the cave opened by the elves! So, have the elves already arrived here?

"Everyone! There's movement outside!" Laos shouted to the people in the house, and went out to prepare to welcome the Canary Corps of the Elves who were about to arrive.

This made the hunters who were eating breakfast eat faster.

And Chilchak suddenly realized that this was what Nie Chiwu had said before... the Western elves are coming!

"It's over!" Chirchak was suddenly terrified. "It's really over now! There's no way out anywhere!"

"No! I must make one last effort!" Chilchak went after Laos without even finishing his breakfast.

"So full of energy!" Nie Chiwu praised. "Western elves! Speaking of which, the elves here are a bit more like those from Dandy and the Dark World... I want to see them!"

Nie Chiwu also clenched his fist: "Hey! What do you think? If we negotiate with the elves, what will happen in the end?"

"Are you sure the elves won't come directly with their army to kill us once they know what we want to do?" Iwatani Naofumi's mouth twitched upwards. "I won't get involved. There's a hypnotist among the elves, right? I... don't really like people like that."

“How could anyone hypnotize me?” Kazuma said in a strange pose. “The only one who can hypnotize me is the succubus who can make people have beautiful dreams in our town!”

“Ew…” Qiao Shu shuddered beside Kazuma, disgusted by his tone. “I hate arrogant guys like that too! I hate it most when people act like that in front of me! I won’t participate! I’ll hide too.”

Senxi didn't pay attention to the hunters' conversation. He just looked at Nie Chiwu who was still eating and asked, "Would you like another serving? I've prepared some more."

"Oh! Great! Another one!" Nie Chiwu's mind was completely focused on eating, and then he said to the few people who didn't want to contact the elves: "Then it's okay, Kazuma will sneak away and hide with you, and Tanjiro and I will stay here!"

Nie Chiwu puffed out his chest proudly: "After all! Tanjiro and I are the moral role models among our hunters! The elves will definitely be moved by our sincerity and kindness!"

"I will try my best!" Tanjiro said loudly with full energy.

"Hey! Don't take this opportunity to confuse yourself with Tanjiro, you bastard!" Kazuma, as usual, was the one making fun of the atmosphere: "You have no morals at all! You're just like the remora that clings to a whale's belly, dragging down Tanjiro's impression! No! It's a barnacle! The kind that grows on the round shell of a sea turtle, ruining the rounded beauty!"

"How dare you, Cricket Ghost, question me!" Nie Chiwu and He Zhen argued, "Gathering rules! Hunters may not kiss the Grand Master!"

"Stop arguing and hide quickly." Iwatani Naofumi interrupted the quarrel between the two with some helplessness: "Let's go to the warehouse. We just need to store the bodies of the king and others properly to avoid any problems... And we have to take Yade's scarecrow with us first..."

"Although I'm not sure, I think there should be guests coming to visit, right?" Senxi said, "In that case, I'll prepare some tea. I just made some snacks to entertain you."

"Great! I admire people like you the most, Senxi!" Nie Chiwu gave a thumbs up: "Just like Granny Cat!"

While they were communicating like this in the house, Laos outside also saw a crow that was an elf's familiar. It flew in front of him, looked at him, and then flew away.

"Laos!" Chirchak also rushed to Laos' side: "The elves are here!"

"Well, that bird just now must be the elf's familiar." Laos also said: "I wonder when the others will come..."

As Laos said this, the crow flew into the forest, and soon a figure that Laos was somewhat familiar with appeared in front of him and Chilchak.

"Kabul!" Laos shouted happily, "You're here."

"?"

Kabul was confused.

Laos's behavior was a little strange. His tone was as if he had known that I would come here, and it seemed that the other party was even more enthusiastic towards him than before. What was going on?

What happened after they separated? Why was he here? Could it be that he had become the master of the maze and therefore knew of his movements?

Kabul was analyzing, but Laos had already walked over quickly and grabbed both of Kabul's hands: "Great! Seeing you here again!"

Knowing that the other party will help him a lot in the future, Laos now has a very good impression of Kabul.

But after Kabul's hand was held, he became even more confused.

How come Laos seems to have grown stronger after not seeing him for a few days? Is he a monster in disguise? But judging by his expression and subtle movements, it's clearly Laos. What's going on?

Although he had many questions in his mind, Kabul still said to Laos: "Laos, I want you to meet someone... It's something very important about the maze."

"No problem!" Laos shook Kabul's hand: "We also have something important to discuss!"

"Hey! Laos! Be careful with your words!" Chirchak said cautiously, "If we're not careful... we might get caught!"

As they were talking about this, a group of elves from the Canary Squad walked out of the forest and were clearly seen by Nie Chiwu from the window.

"I have to say, the elves are all pretty good looking..." Nie Chiwu muttered, "At first I thought they were all female... I didn't expect there were both males and females... Damn little Nanliang!"

Chapter 89: Kabul's Powerlessness

When the Canary Squad arrived near the hut, they immediately saw the fallen Farin Dragon. Then, an elf leading the way said to Laos, "Hello, are you an adventurer?"

She also pointed at the fallen Farin Dragon and asked, "Did you defeat this monster?"

"Yes, she is my sister."

Laos nodded and said directly, "Let's go inside first."

"?"

Laos's attitude made Kabul even more confused.

Wasn't Laos surprised by the elf's appearance? Why did he look completely unsurprised? And even seemed ready to talk to the elf? Did he just admit that Faline was his sister? Didn't he know that this would make the elf even more wary of him?

A lot of confused thoughts popped up in Kabul's mind in a blink of an eye.

Finally, when Laos brought Kabul and the six elves of the Canary Squad into the cabin, Nie Chiwu was holding a cup of tea brewed by Senxi and said to Kabul beside him with a natural look on his face: "It's really nice, the weather is perfect for talking about things... Would you like a cup of tea?"

"Uh-huh?"

Kabul stared at the two extra people at the table.

Nie Chiwu and Tanjiro.

Why are there two people here besides the people from Laos's team that he has never seen on the island?

Could it be that the change in Laos was due to these two people? Or...

"Hello... hello?" Although there were many thoughts in his mind, Kabul finally tried to talk to Nie Chiwu and Tanjiro: "You two look unfamiliar. Are you Laos's companions?"

"That's right!" Nie Chiwu gave Kabul a thumbs-up. "Laos and I are spiritual friends. We even stole eggs together!"

"!"

When did Laos get a spiritual friend? And what Kabul really wants to complain about is...then they must go together to steal monster eggs, right?

Where did this inexplicable person come from? I don’t know anything about him!

"Hello! Mr. Kabul!" Tanjiro answered loudly and seriously: "I am Tanjiro Kamado! I am Mr. Laos's companion and also a swordsman!"

Tanjiro Kamado's words made Kabul breathe a sigh of relief.

With his oriental name and the distribution of calluses on his hands, Tanjiro is easy to understand, but why did he have to introduce himself so loudly?

Just when Kabul was deeply confused, an elf stood up and began to communicate with Laos and others.

She took out a document and showed it to Laos and the others: "My name is Patadlu. We have the permission of the island owner and are investigating the maze..."

She and the other elves were staring at Laos, Nie Chiwu, and the others, observing their expressions. "I hope you can tell us... Have you ever encountered the Lord of the Labyrinth?"

"Um……"

Laos tilted his head in thought with some distress, which made Kabul scream inwardly.

Why was he thinking at this moment?! Wasn't it obvious that he had already met the Lord of the Labyrinth, and something had happened?

Laos waved to Nie Chiwu and Tanjiro, and then they buried their heads together and whispered in front of the elves, then raised their heads and looked at the elves together, and then buried their heads again and whispered in front of the elves.

Finally, Laos stood up with some distress and said to the elves: "I'm not very good at lying... If it was Hisil, he would be sleeping upstairs now."

"!"

Laos's natural tone made the elves alert, and some even stared at the ceiling, ready for battle.

"Ah! Hisel is not dangerous now. We have defeated him and captured him. Now he has been anesthetized." Laos explained and shook his head helplessly: "Um... can you talk to us first?"

"Have a cup of tea or something first." As Laos said this, Sensi brought out a few cups of tea made from tree demon seeds from the kitchen, and even prepared a few plates of jelly.

"Wait, where is the captain?" The elves now discovered that one of the original six people was missing. Mislen, the captain, had disappeared at some point.

"It's here with me."

Nie Chiwu spoke from the stairs without knowing when, still holding Mislen's wrist as he tried to go upstairs: "Some of us are sleeping upstairs now. It's not a good idea to go straight up, right?"

As Nie Chiwu said this, he blocked the stairs directly, looking like he was guarding them.

"Hand over the Master of the Labyrinth to us."

Patadello said directly to Laos, "We will take care of this maze."
