Monster Hunter Gathering

The winged lion's wings blocked all the attacks from the elves outside, and it said to Malusil gently, "So... what should we do first?"

"Change the maze? Save your friends? Or... kill these enemies?"

Chapter 99: Izujinmei and Elucat!

At this moment, Malushil felt that the scene before her was suddenly filled with the perspectives of the familiars left by Hisser. The overwhelming amount of information made Malushil's head dizzy, but some vague thoughts still emerged: "No, I can't use murderous methods. I must protect Chirchak and the others first, and then store Falin's body properly..."

Malusil had lost all strength except for her chaotic thoughts, and could only say dazedly, "I have to go find Laos and prepare to resurrect Farin..."

"Really? Then let's do this for now."

Under the protection of its wings, the winged lion snapped its fingers. Malushil could only vaguely hear a noisy sound coming from outside the wings, and then it quickly quieted down. The winged lion's wings were fully opened, releasing Malushil.

Malusil looked up in a daze and found that the elves around her had disappeared, but the surrounding forest seemed to have been partially destroyed for some reason.

Chilchak and Sensi fainted again at some point, and now they were lying on the sled familiar on Falin's side...

"Where's Izujinmei?" Maruxiel asked in confusion, "Why is she gone?"

"That little cat."

The winged lion had a smile on his face, and he kept looking at Malusil: "She should have gone to find Laos. After all, you are safe here."

"Alright, now start doing what you want to do." The Winged Lion lowered his head and approached Maluthier. "First, let's build a place for you to rest, so you can get used to being the Master of the Labyrinth."

"Then freeze Farin, let the monsters go find Laos and the others, and change the terrain here..."

The winged lion held Malushiel like a child and walked forward. With his other hand, he grabbed the sled familiar and dragged it forward. "Do what you want to do first..."

At this moment, Itsuzumi was fleeing quickly in the forest.

The reason was that there were several giant spiders chasing her from behind.

After the winged lion covered Malushiel with its wings, many monsters suddenly appeared around it, and some monsters knocked Sensi and Chilchak unconscious and put them on the sled.

Those elves were also besieged by monsters and taken to other places. Itsuzumi also knew that these monsters probably wanted to knock her out and throw her onto the sled and take her away.

Itsuzumi is now also thinking about what to do, but running in the forest to avoid monsters has consumed a lot of her physical strength, and the number of monsters has increased instead.

Just as Itsuzumi jumped over a bush, she suddenly discovered that the terrain under her feet had changed, from the original forest to a cliff with a river below.

Izujinmi fell down while shouting and unable to find any support, but just as Izujinmi was struggling frantically in the water, she was pulled out by something.

"It's the Grand Commander and the Hunters' friends, meow!" A voice that sounded like a child sounded in Itsuzumi's ears.

"Why did she fall from up there, meow?"

"Bring her back to camp too!"

"?"

Izutsumi opened her eyes in confusion and found that three Felynx of different colors, wearing equipment that looked a bit like children's toys, were surrounding her, and there was also a large fishing net next to her.

She had just been released from the fishing net.

"She's awake, meow!" the pure white Elu cat shouted happily.

Then the calico cat next to it gave the Scottish Fold cat a claw: "Idiot, she just fell down, she didn't faint meow!"

"Are you also a Felynx, meow?" The last cow Felynx also looked at Itsuzumi with great interest: "You are also black and white!"

"...?"

There was confusion in Izutsumi's expression, but the Felyne cats were already jumping around her, as if they felt close to her because of her cat ears.

"Why are you here?" Izuzumi asked curiously, "So there are so many of you!"

Itsuzumi had only seen one Felynx that made cat food before, and she almost mistakenly thought that it was also a person stuffed with a monster soul. Unexpectedly, there were three other Felynx like this!

"We're here to gather ingredients, meow! For the hunters' cat meals!" The pure white Felyn raised its paw and said to Itsuzumi, "The fish here is great, meow! I think it could be added to the regular ingredients in the cat meals!"

"We're the gathering's food exploration team!" The calico cat said proudly, pinching her waist. "We've come to this world to explore new ingredients! And the Grand Commander happens to be in the camp... Let's take you back to see him, meow!"

"Oh……"

Itsuzumi was confused for a moment, but quickly carried a basket of fish in the happy atmosphere of the Felynx and followed the Felynx. It didn't feel like she had walked far, but she had suddenly left her original place and came to the vicinity of the dwarf ruins. In front of her was a tent filled with the aroma of food?

"??"

Itsuzumi slowly typed a question mark.

How did she get here? How did the Felyne cats get here?

"Captain! We're back with new ingredients, meow!!"

When the three cats from the Food Expedition Team saw Nie Chiwu eating heartily, they suddenly became excited and rushed over.

"Oh! You guys have worked so hard! Yoshi yoshi!"

After seeing the food expedition team returning with new ingredients, Nie Chiwu also dropped his knife, fork and chopsticks, squatted down and started petting the cat: "Yo shi yo shi yo shi yo shi yo shi yo shi..."

Nie Chiwu touched them one by one, and when he touched the fourth one, he suddenly found that this Elu cat had a human face... No, this is Izujinmei!

"Izujinmei!" Nie Chiwu's eyes widened: "Why are you here? Have you joined Elu Cat?"

“Xia————!”

Ijinjinmei was a little angry towards Nie Chiwu, and was wary of Nie Chiwu's two hands that were still raised, as if ready to touch the cat at any time.

"Captain, you scared Miss Itsuzumi." Tanjiro said from behind: "She is a girl after all, you can't be too rough with her."

At this moment, Tanjiro was holding a Felynx in his arms. The Felynx was curled up on Tanjiro's knees, and seemed to be enjoying Tanjiro's body temperature which was slightly higher than that of a normal person as a striped swordsman.

"But!"

Nie Chiwu's eyes widened. "This is Furui! She's not one of those cat girls with just a tail and ears. She's a higher level..."

Chapter 100: Power from Beyond the World

"...?"

Tanjiro, a simple charcoal-burning boy from the mountains, had no idea what Nie Chiwu meant.

But Tanjiro always feels that the current Nie Chiwu's figure and Zenitsu have some overlap for some reason...

"do not come!"

Izujinmei had already shown her claws and was scratching Nie Chiwu's face.

then……

No defense breached.

"You have the nerve to withstand the powerful spin of the dragon-slaying tail blade!" Nie Chiwu proudly raised his thick skin.

"Cat! Change Izujinmei's wet clothes first!" Nie Chiwu snapped his fingers.

Before Itsuzumi could react, she was lifted up by the Felyne cats and walked towards the tent.

"Meow!!!"

When Itsuzumi was released from the tent, she had already changed into a set of Fey cat equipment that suited her figure... and even a toy-like Fey cat weapon was stuffed into Itsuzumi's hand.

As soon as Itsuzumi came out of the tent, she hid behind Tanjiro vigilantly, her face full of vigilance towards Nie Chiwu.

This guy always feels a lot like Laos...

This dark red-haired boy, although also a hunter, at least looks a little reassuring...

"Ahaha..." Tanjiro patted the Felyne who had fallen asleep on his knees and said to Itsuzumi who was hiding behind him: "Although the Grand Commander looks a little strange, he is really a good person."

"Ms. Itsuzumi, aren't you with Miss Malcel? How did you get brought here by the Felyne cats?" The reliable Tanjiro started asking serious questions.

Itsuzumi thought about it, then briefly told the two of them what had happened before.

The elves were besieged by monsters and went to another direction. Sensi and Chilchak were knocked unconscious by monsters, and Malushil became the master of the maze.

Although cats have no sense of existence, they know everything!

"That's really the style of the Winged Lion."

Nie Chiwu thought about it, then contacted Laos directly in the meeting voice: "Laos, how is the situation over there?"

"...?"

Yi Jinjinmei looked at Nie Chiwu who was talking to the air, and wondered if there was really something wrong with his brain...

How can I possibly contact Laos by talking to the air?

But just as Itsujinmei was looking at Nie Chiwu like this, Laos's anthropomorphic voice came from Nie Chiwu: "Oh! It's the Grand Commander! I've already had a good talk with Kabul! He said he's willing to join us!"

"It's assistance!" Kabul's voice came from the air: "How is this done? It's not a familiar like a fairy, and it doesn't seem to be some kind of magic... but it can transmit information like this..."

"Meow?!" Izuzumi was stunned.

I was actually able to contact Laos!

"I won't say any more. Anyway... Malusil has become the master of the maze!" Nie Chiwu said to Laos, "We have to take corresponding actions... Is Hisil still by your side?"

"Yes, I am." Laos responded: "When I left with Kabul, I took Hisil with me. If I had stayed there, I might have been taken away by the elves."

"Mr. Grand Commander."

Kabul took a deep breath and asked Nie Chiwu on the other end of the line, "I've heard from Laos about your purpose, but I still want to ask..."

"Can't you really cooperate with the elves? If the elves are here, at least the adventurers and other forces on the island can be united..."

"It can't be done."

Nie Chiwu calmly replied to Kabul: "We can't possibly cooperate with the elves. If we have to do anything... the only way is to get the elves to cooperate with us."

"Kabul, I know you."

Nie Chiwu said to the other end of the assembly voice: "Your hometown was destroyed by the maze, and you were raised by elves. In your opinion..."

"Will the elves take the initiative to cooperate with us to unlock the demon's seal and solve the demon problem?"

After hearing Nie Chiwu's question, Kabul fell silent for a moment, and quickly reviewed the elves he knew in his mind: "...No."

"Stand, stand!"

Nie Chiwu clenched his fist and said, "The elves won't cooperate with those of us who would take the initiative to unlock the demon seal, so we have no choice but to do it first."

"The elves won't be willing to cooperate with us..."

Nie Chiwu said cheerfully, "But the elves came to us for cooperation! We're more than happy to do so!"

"Because we are hunters who believe in love, justice, and peace!" Nie Chiwu said excitedly, "The arrogant elves who were once hostile to others have finally put aside their differences and cooperated with those who were once considered enemies! Together, we defeated the final boss!"

"How beautiful! How pure! It makes my blood boil!!!"

Nie Chiwu said excitedly: "Gua! This is exactly what I want to see!!!"

...You are clearly forcing the elves to cooperate with you.

Kabul thought so but didn't say it out loud.

"Hasn't it occurred to you that after what happened before, the elves might completely distrust you?"

Kabul asked.

He needed to get to know the Hunter's Grand Master better, as this would have a huge impact on what was to come...

"The trust of the elves...that kind of thing doesn't matter anymore."

Nie Chiwu said casually, "From the beginning, I never thought that we hunters needed the elves' trust. That kind of thing is useless."

"Given the elves' personalities, even trust is somewhat tainted. After all, elves are still too arrogant...from a human's perspective."

Nie Chiwu patiently explained to Kabul, "So why trust me? I just need the power of the elves! In the end, the elves will take the initiative anyway!"

"I don't care about the trust of the elves here." Nie Chiwu said nonchalantly: "I'm not from this world. The only connection between us hunters and this world is Laos."

"Now do you think we care about the elves?"

Nie Chiwu inadvertently said something that Kabul had never expected.

The origin of the hunter.

Kabul began to think frantically.

A hunter who had never appeared on the island before, a fighting style that was completely unlike the humans of this world, the combat power that allowed him to fight the Canary Squad alone, and the strange recovery ability.

Kabul finally realized.
