I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

I saw a giant yellow beast crawling very quickly with its thick limbs, and in front of it was a group of herbivorous dragons.

The yellow dragon quickly caught up with a stray herbivorous dragon, then smashed its body hard with its front claws, leaving a deep scar on it.

The seriously injured herbivorous dinosaur naturally had no hope of escape and could only struggle and wail, but this struggle was useless to the predator.

The yellow giant opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the herbivorous dragon in one gulp.

That’s right, stewed in one bite.

Xier was stunned by what she saw. Wow, you don’t chew at all, right?

This hunting method, which is different from other dragons, really surprised Xi'er. It is rare for a dragon to swallow its prey whole. This method not only requires extremely strong digestive power, but also a relatively safe residence. The latter is quite rare in the world of Monster Hunter, where territorial disputes are frequent.

"Oh my god... this guy is too hungry..."

Xier stared with wide eyes as the guy swallowed the herbivorous dragon whole, and then walked step by step into the depths of the forest with his big belly as big as if he was nine months pregnant.

"Hey! You over there!"

Suddenly a voice brought Xier back to her senses. She saw a man in a ghillie suit waving and calling Xier in the grass nearby.

"Eh? You are?"

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you were just here to observe? Why did you send a hunter?"

The man said angrily, "But fortunately, the predation ecological process of the Megathiasaurus has been fully recorded. Now I can report to Xingchen."

"Wait! Xingchen? The base of the New World Investigation Team you mentioned?" Xier said excitedly.

"Of course, there is a second star there, eh? No, you are not a new hunter, why would a new hunter go on a mission on the first day?"

The man in the ghillie suit asked Xier curiously.

"No, no, no, I'm from the fifth group, but it's not what you think."

Xier told the other person in detail what she had experienced, and then the man's face gradually changed from curiosity to surprise, and then from surprise to shock. Until he heard that Xier and the others used the high pressure of the Molten Dragon to push the ship to the New World, his expression was completely stunned.

"hello?"

Looking at the person in front of her who was obviously having a computer crash, Xier waved her hand cautiously in front of him.

"Ah! Ah...Okay, I understand. I'll take you to the base first and let the commander-in-chief talk to you."

Finally he came to his senses, and that man led the way towards the stronghold.

After going through a rather complicated road, Xier, under the guidance of that person, arrived at a stronghold built against a cliff deep in the dense forest.

"Hey! Where's the commander-in-chief?"

The man in the ghillie suit greeted the hunter guarding the door and pulled Xier into the stronghold.

"What are you doing?"

The other hunter guarding the gate looked at Xier with some curiosity. He had been guarding the gate for a long time and knew all the hunters who went out, but Xier was someone he had never seen before.

"She's from the Fifth Regiment. Where is the Commander-in-Chief anyway?"

"They should be discussing the next plan now. They should be over there."

The guard pointed to a place in the stronghold and said.

"Thanks! I'll take her there right away." With that, the man pulled Xier and ran into the stronghold.

"Hey! Wait, register first... Never mind."

The gatekeeper looked at the two people who had already run away and couldn't help but said in confusion: "Didn't the fifth group come in... Hey! Could it be the one that got stuck on the Molten Dragon?"

(Revised) Chapter 10: The Name of the White Star

The news of Xi'er coming to Xingchen spread quickly in the base, and the crews of the other two ships came to ask Xi'er about them. But since there were still a large number of people waiting on the coast, Xi'er didn't say much to them and went straight to the commander-in-chief.

"Oh? Are you Xier? I heard people from the fifth group mention you."

Led by the man in the ghillie suit, Xier came in front of Commander-in-Chief Xingchen. The Commander-in-Chief seemed to have just finished the discussion and had not put down the pen in his hand. After seeing Xier coming, he wrote the last few words, handed them to the person next to him, and then stood up and walked to Xier.

During this process, Xier was also sizing up this respectable commander-in-chief. Before she left, she heard from the guild leader that the commander-in-chief was a man of great wisdom. The establishment of the Star Base relied largely on the strategies formulated by the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief was also an excellent hunter, but he was injured later and had to retreat behind the scenes.

His resolute face was covered with traces of weather-beaten years, his dark skin showed that he often moved in the sun, and the faintly visible muscles on his arms showed that although he had not hunted for a long time, he still maintained a considerable level of training. As for the reason for not hunting, it was naturally his legs. Although he could walk like an ordinary person, Xier still keenly noticed that he had old injuries on his legs. Perhaps this was also the reason why he no longer hunted.

"I'm Xi'er, a member of the fifth group. The group leader asked me to be responsible for exploring the way to Xingchen. Fortunately, I met that observer, and that's how I got to Xingchen."

Xier briefly recounted what she had encountered to the commander-in-chief. The commander showed a thoughtful expression and asked, "What are your casualties? I heard that you encountered the Molten Dragon directly?"

"There were no casualties. It was just that the hull was partially broken when we separated from the Molten Dragon, and the route was deviated. Therefore, we were unable to reach the New World at the planned location."

"Oh? No one was hurt? Although I've never met him, he seems to be a good leader."

The commander-in-chief said with some surprise. He didn't expect that no one would be injured after encountering the Molten Dragon head-on and what happened. This was not an easy thing.

"However, let's stop talking nonsense later. I will immediately assign a pair of people to help the fifth term leader move things. However, you are the only one here, so I can only ask you to lead them over."

Without further ado, the commander-in-chief immediately formulated a rescue plan. The longer he stayed in the New World, the more he realized the importance of time. The environment in the New World was complex and changeable, and the habits of the monsters were different from those in the Old World, so the rescue had to be done as quickly as possible, and the sooner the better.

Then the commander-in-chief said to the tall man standing beside him: "Go and get a pair of people to follow Miss Xi'er to the rescue."

"no problem!"

The tall man responded cheerfully, then stretched out his hand to Xi'er and said, "Please give me your guidance! I am the captain of Xingchen's investigation team."

"Hello."

Xier responded politely, and then said to the commander-in-chief: "Thank you for your help, commander-in-chief."

"It doesn't matter. The fifth group is already part of Xingchen. This is just our duty. Let's start the action. I have some things to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, the commander-in-chief took a few books and left.

"Don't worry, that's the kind of person my grandfather is."

"grandfather?"

Xier was stunned. The person in front of her was actually the commander-in-chief's grandson?

"I was born in the New World. My parents were hunters, but now they have returned to their homeland. I want to stay here to help my grandfather, so I stayed."

While packing up, the captain of the investigation team said to Xier: "For me, who was born in the New World, this place is like home."

After putting on the equipment, the captain of the investigation team said, "Let's go, let's go over there first. When we get there, I will fire the signal gun so that our people can go there as soon as possible. In addition, this is for you."

As he said this, he took out an insect cage that looked like a lamp and handed it to Xier.

"what is this?"

Xier looked at the insect cage with some curiosity. Inside the insect cage were luminous insects similar to lightning insects, but smaller in size and almost invisible to the naked eye. However, the light they emitted was very clear even during the day.

"These are guide insects, new things we discovered that can be used to aid hunting. They can track and locate creatures and locations. They are very practical. You just need to follow their guidance and you can reach your destination as quickly as possible."

“So there is such a good thing.”

Xier imitated the captain of the investigation team and hung the insect cage around her waist. The insect cage was very small and hardly hindered movement. It seemed that it had indeed been modified for hunters.

(But...was this thing blue just now?)

Xier looked at the insects in her insect cage with some curiosity. The light emitted was a faint blue light, but it disappeared in an instant and turned back into green light. Xier didn't know much about this thing so she could only regard it as a characteristic of the insect guide and didn't take it too seriously.

"Okay, I'm done getting ready, let's go."

Carrying a skeleton sword on his back, the captain of the investigation team said to Xier: "Let's go and pick up everyone from the fifth group!"

——————————————————————————————————

Just when Xier arrived at Xingchen, something big happened on the girl's side.

"Damn, where did these guys come from?"

The girl was holding a katana and running around among a group of thief dragons. The huge katana swept across and knocked the thief dragons to the ground.

"And it's ridiculously hard!"

The girl felt the slight numbing sensation on her hand and regretted using the crossbow earlier. The knife had no effect.

(Really? I'll get some high-level materials to strengthen it when I have time. I didn't expect the small monsters here to be so difficult to deal with.)

Although the girl's home is in the New World, she knows nothing about the place outside the nest, and everything outside the New World is a new thing to her.

"Ahhh!"

The group of thief dragons were defeated by the hunters, scattered, and soon disappeared in the middle of the forest. Only a small number of thief dragons were knocked unconscious, and even fewer died.

This extremely tragic record made all the hunters feel a little disappointed. After all, they couldn't even completely drive out a group of small monsters. How could they carry out the mission? Their desire to come to the New World and make a big splash hit a snag at the very first step.

"Really? What does it look like to have such a sad face?"

The girl, who was the leader of the group, couldn't help but feel angry when she saw the lost expressions of the group of people. Were they already becoming discouraged before the hunt even started?

"It's just a little hard! You guys actually showed that expression?"

The girl said, "Think about when you first became hunters, how many of you were chased by a group of dog dragons? All you had were the most basic iron weapons, but you didn't lose heart, did you?"

"The New World is a brand new and unknown world. Don't use your previous arrogance on the New World. Even the known creatures may evolve new abilities in the environment of the New World. What will you do when you see the creatures that you easily killed before become extremely powerful? Should you pack up and go home?"

These sharp words made everyone unable to raise their heads. Yes, they were too proud. As the elites of the Old Continent, they forgot the caution and spirit of exploration that they should have.

"Sorry! Captain! We know we were wrong!"

A hunter holding a hammer lowered his head and said, "You are right. We should not lose our confidence. The journey to the new world has just begun."

"That's right. The basis for you to become an excellent hunter is your hunting skills and awareness, not the weapons in your hands. The New World is full of dangers. Only by using your hunting knowledge and investigating and exploring can you succeed. This is the meaning of our fifth group!"

The girl couldn't help but sigh as she watched everyone regain their spirits. It was really weird that she, a dragon, had to tell hunters how to hunt. Why was this feeling so subtle?

(I wonder how Xi'er is doing...)

Thinking of this, the girl was about to sit down and rest for a while, but the sound coming from the jungle made her alert.

"Everyone, pay attention! Something is coming!"

The girl's words put the other people who were still chatting into a state of combat readiness.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

The sounds in the jungle were getting closer and closer, and were about to reach them. The girl and the other hunters were on high alert, holding their weapons.

"Wow!"

Just as the shadow appeared and their weapons were about to be fired, they saw clearly the figure coming. It turned out to be Xier.

"Ayo!"

The girl fell to the ground with a katana in her hand. She was at the front and moved the fastest. When she saw that the person coming was Xier, the katana in her hand had already swung most of the way out. Fortunately, she had enough strength to bend the katana back, but because she used too much force, she fell directly to the ground.

"Hey!!! Captain!"

Xier was walking in front when she suddenly saw the leader falling to the ground. She was startled and quickly helped the girl up.

"Hey, Xi'er, you're back! Did you find the base?"

The girl looked at Xier's cute face in front of her and said with a slightly blushing cheek.

"Of course, Xi'er Fule'ai, you completed the task brilliantly!"

Xi'er responded with a smile.

At this time, the captain of the investigation team also came out of the woods. Seeing Xier and the girl's actions, he couldn't help but say: "You two have a really good relationship."

"Hey!!"

Only then did Xier realize that it was a bit embarrassing for her to hold the girl in her arms. She quickly helped the girl up, then clasped her hands together stiffly, looking embarrassed.

"Ding~~~"

The girl looked at the captain of the investigation team with resentment. If it weren't for him, she would have been able to enjoy Xier's embrace, and maybe even have the benefit of brain pad waves.

"Hahaha"

The captain of the investigation team, who didn't notice the girl's eyes at all, smiled and said, "Everyone in the fifth group, I am the captain of the investigation team of the New World Investigation Team's Xingchen base. On behalf of Xingchen, I welcome everyone's arrival. Of course, let's hold the celebration at the base. I think everyone should be here, right?"

"Yes, we are all here."

The girl spoke up, "The fifth term leader, Shirahoshi. Please give me your guidance."

"Oh! So you are the leader of the fifth term, nice to meet you. Since everyone is here, I will notify people to come and help."

As he spoke, the captain of the investigation team took out a flare from his waist, installed it on the projector, and then a red firework exploded in the sky.

"Once my companions arrive, we can load our things into the car. We will then take the luggage along the other side of the road. Miss Leader, just lead the team members and follow me. We will go through the woods and reach the base as quickly as possible."
