Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

"Really!" Muti nodded vigorously.

Fu Fu and Yuwan in Muti's arms looked at each other, both a little surprised.

Muti has always been a soft-spoken person since she was young, and it is rare to see her express any opinions firmly.

"And Grandpa Amos also thinks highly of him and is personally teaching him Taito sword skills!" Muti quickly added.

These words made Fu Fu feel a little relieved.

Muti is an honest child, but she is not stupid. Even if someone can fool her, it will not be easy to get past Amos.

"You should have met him before. What kind of person do you think he is? Is he reliable?" Fu Fu asked Yuwan.

Yuwan licked his paw nonchalantly, "I don't know, meow, I don't care, meow, but if he dares to bully Muti, I'll kill him, meow."

"He's a brainless guy." Fu Fu curled her lips, opened the window, and shouted a few times outside, "Fishpak! Fishpak! Where have you been? Come out!"

After waiting for a while, the coquettish Elu, with exquisite clothes and an elegantly curled beard, came in from outside the window sill.

"What are you calling me, meow?" Fishpak, who was standing on the windowsill, shook the hair on his chest and neck twice as if unintentionally. Under the sunlight, his carefully cared-for mane reflected a dazzling golden luster.

(Understand the spirit)

As siblings from the same mother, Yuwan, who is also a hybrid of Elu and Deter, actually has mane, but it is very short. He has never taken care of it, so he looks no different from an ordinary long-haired Elu.

Seeing Yupa shaking his mane to show off his beautiful hair, Yuwan whispered, "I'll find a chance to shave it off for you later, meow."

"Stop showing off and come here!" Fu Fu, who was already used to her partner's appearance, shouted impatiently. Yu Pa didn't care, jumped off the windowsill, and came over leisurely.

After briefly explaining the situation, Fu Fu asked, "What do you think of that guy?"

Fish Chop looked at Muti, "How does he usually talk to you, meow? His expression, tone, and specific content. Imitate him, meow."

"He, he said."

"Stop, meow, you're just a big girl, imitating performances isn't for you, meow."

Muti: “.”

Under Fu Fu's dissatisfied glare, Yu Pai continued, "You should take me down to see that guy with my own eyes. Just one look will tell me."

Fish Chop stretched out two claws and pointed at his eyes, "With just one glance, I can tell if he's a gigolo or not."

Unable to bear the sight of it, Yuwan snorted coldly, "You act like you're so great, meow."

"When it comes to living off women, I'm a professional." Yupa raised his chin confidently.

"What sin did I commit to become a partner with this guy?" Fu Fu covered her face. "Let's go, sister, I want to see it with my own eyes too."

Fu Fu threw away her pajamas and changed into casual clothes. After thinking for a while, she went into the closet and changed into an exquisite dress that looked expensive.

Muti was confused, but still led Fufu and the others back home.

There was movement in the underground training ground, and it was obvious that there were still people there. Yu Pai took the lead and went into the basement with excitement on his face. Fu Fu also pulled Muti and quickly followed.

In the training ground, Orlan was discussing something with Amos, waving his wooden sword and making gestures from time to time, and he didn't notice anyone coming down.

"Boring, meow." The previously excited Fish Patty now had a bored expression.

"How to say?"

"It doesn't have that special smell of a pretty boy, meow." Yupa glanced at Fufu, "You're overthinking it, meow."

"Tsk." Fu Fu smacked her lips.

She trusted her partner's judgment, but out of concern for her silly sister, her gaze towards Orlan still unconsciously carried a hint of scrutiny.

Then, as I watched, I started to feel something was amiss. This guy looked familiar? Maybe I knew him?

She walked towards the two people in the field.

Noticing their arrival, Orlan and Amos paused their conversation and turned their gazes over.

Seeing Fu Fu's face clearly, Ao Lang also felt familiar. After recalling for a few seconds, he remembered.

A few years ago, the legendary shield axe user who had some connection with Teacher Huali came to Rocklak with her disciples.

Teacher Huali asked him to be a guide and took the disciple on a tour around the city of Rocklak. He also asked her a lot of questions about hunters.

Although her appearance had changed somewhat over the years, he could still recognize that the short young lady in front of him was the disciple from that year.

"Senior Francesca." Orlan put down his wooden sword and bowed respectfully to the other party.

"It's really you, kid." Fu Fu laughed, "You really have become a hunter."

Muti, who was following behind Fufu, looked at the two of them in surprise, "Have you known each other for a long time?"

"I met her a few years ago and received a lot of guidance from Miss Francesca." There was undisguised respect in Orlan's tone.

Initially, he didn't have a very good impression of this young lady, but after communicating with her, he found that she was a very outstanding senior, with strong strength, broad knowledge, and a deep background, but she was not arrogant. (Childhood filter)

"Miss Francesca has always been my role model. When she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, she once participated in hunting the Sand Dragon King. It was not until I became a hunter that I truly realized what an amazing achievement that was.

This incident has always reminded me that the world is vast and there are always people better than me, so I should never be complacent about my achievements.

"Yes, yes!" Muti nodded vigorously, looking very convinced, "Sister Fufu is amazing!

I remember it very clearly. It was five years ago. Back then, Sister Fufu hunted a Brute Jaw Dragon in the New World and skinned it, making leather goods to bring home and give to everyone. I learned how to skin dragons and give them as gifts from her!"

"This is truly an amazing achievement!" Orlan exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

Muti's face was filled with pride. "Although Sister Fufu has always refused to tell us what she has done over the years, she must have been promoted to a higher position!"

"For a high-ranking hunter, many missions are highly confidential, so it's common sense that they can't be disclosed." Orlan nodded without surprise.

Amos looked at Fufu with amusement, as her expression was stiff.

Fish Chop also squinted at her, "I told you not to brag everywhere, let's see how you end up."

Chapter 139 Fighting Competition

"Well! Let's not talk about the past for now!"

Seeing that Orlan and Muti were talking more and more outrageous, Fu Fu quickly interrupted them.

She had put aside her worries about Muti being cheated. She had a pretty good impression of this guy named Aolang, and considering Yupa's "professional judgment", he should be a relatively reliable person.

The question now is, how can I get out of this situation without losing face after boasting so much back then?

"Well, are you two planning to stay in Dondorma for a while?" Fu Fu, who couldn't think of a particularly good idea, tried to change the subject.

She succeeded, and Muti and Orang looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"I won't stay longer."

"I'll probably stay a while longer."

The two people's answers were surprisingly uncoordinated.

Muti came back this time just to get scolded, and besides that, he also came back to find his hunting partner Yuwan. Now that both goals have been achieved, he naturally doesn't want to stay in this overly familiar city for too long.

Orlan was just the opposite. During his exchanges with Amos, he became increasingly aware of the complexity and breadth of katana sword techniques. He once thought that he had basically mastered the use of this weapon, but now he realized that his understanding of katana was too superficial.

I finally met a good teacher like Amos, so of course I want to ask him more questions.

At the very least, one must learn advanced sword techniques such as Mikiri and Iai. Even if one cannot use more difficult sword techniques immediately, one must lay a foundation for future self-cultivation. Of course, one must also improve and perfect the Red Blade Slash and the Tachi Charged Slash.

There are so many things he wants to learn. Even if he is always quick at learning moves, he may not be able to use them all in a month.

Olang and Muti looked at each other again.

This may be the biggest disadvantage of traveling in a team. When two people's schedules conflict, disagreements are likely to arise.

Alang knew that Muti didn't want to stay in his hometown any longer, just like he didn't want to stay in Loklak forever, so he tentatively suggested, "How about you go back to Balubare first? I'll rush over as soon as I'm done here?"

Muti was also a little hesitant.

The two of them have not yet discussed whether to return to Balubare after this trip to Dondoruma.

According to Muti's previous thoughts, Yuwan might have gone to practice on his own, so the two of them might have to search all over the continent while asking and looking, and treat it as a trip.

Who would have thought that as soon as I returned to Dongdoruma, I would encounter

But if I don’t stay in Dongdorumado, where else can I go?

I don't have anything important to do. I can't just force Aolan to leave and ruin his hard-earned opportunity to practice just because he's "bored with staying in Dondoruma", right?

It seems that it is okay to go back to Barubare and act alone for a while. After switching to the gunlance, I haven't hunted a three-star monster alone. Should I take this opportunity to re-examine myself?

Seeing the two of them arguing, Fu Fu suddenly spoke up, "Actually, I have a suggestion."

Olang and Muti looked over.

In their eyes, Fu Fu is a role model senior and a mature and outstanding sister. When she makes suggestions, both of them listen carefully.

"Do you know about the fighting tournament?"

They both nodded.

Muti grew up in Dongdoruma, and most of his elders were hunters, so of course he knew this.

Orlan has also lived in Rocklak for ten years. The Rocklak Colosseum is very famous, so he naturally knows a little about it.

The so-called "fighting skills" are closely related to the "capture" system advocated by the guild.

During the hunting process, at least one-third of hunters will choose to capture the monster when it is weak using traps and tranquilizer balls or anesthetic bullets.

For hunters, this can effectively prevent monsters from counterattacking before they die, and is more efficient. Apart from the fact that transportation is a hassle, there are many advantages, especially in terms of material settlement.

In high-intensity combat, it is difficult for hunters to stop, so the body parts of monsters hunted normally will be damaged to some extent.

In addition, the hunting grounds are dangerous, monster corpses are easy to rot, and hunters do not have the conditions to slowly peel them and process them carefully, so they usually cannot bring much material back to the city.

Capture is different. After recovering a living monster, the guild will choose to kill it directly or raise it temporarily for research purposes, depending on the situation.

Whether the monster is slaughtered and carefully skinned by guild professionals, or is raised for a period of time and then slaughtered after its injuries have healed, more materials can be harvested.

Even if the guild charges some materials as fees, the amount of materials that the hunter finally gets is far more than if he directly hunts and peels them himself.

The monster materials collected by the guild can also be used for settlement of rewards, trade, city defense weapon manufacturing, and other aspects, truly achieving a win-win situation.

This is why the guild encourages hunters to capture, and sometimes even issues special capture tasks.

But there's a problem.

In a big city like Dongdoruma, hunters might capture several or even dozens of large monsters every day.

Most of them will be slaughtered directly, while a small number will be temporarily raised by the guild for various reasons such as research.

Large, wild monsters are extremely difficult to raise for a long time, and raising large monsters itself consumes a lot of resources such as food, manpower, and space.

Therefore, every once in a while, the guild needs to kill some of the monsters it has raised as planned.

If it was a monster like the Velociraptor, it would be easier to deal with, but not everyone is capable of killing a male fire dragon whose injuries have basically healed, even if it is covered with chains and shackles.

In the end, only the hunter can take action.

But it was a waste to tie up the large monster that was finally caught with iron chains and let the hunter hack it to pieces with just a few chops.

So, at the suggestion of some people, the fighting task came into being.

Arenas were built in major cities, allowing hunters who received arena missions to fight monsters in the arena and hunt them down.

In this way, hunters have more opportunities for practical training. Once an accident occurs, rescue is easier and there will basically be no serious injuries or sacrifices.

Ordinary citizens who serve as spectators can provide considerable ticket revenue and greatly reduce ordinary people's fear of monsters. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

For hunters, this type of fighting mission is also very popular. After all, it is relatively safe. There is no need to track monsters all over the hunting ground and then be led around by monsters. The rewards are good and can be counted normally towards the number of tasks.

Therefore, as soon as these tasks are posted, they will be scrambled to take them.

As for the fighting competition that Fu Fu mentioned, it is based on ordinary fighting tasks, but has more "competitive" attributes.

Simply put, it's a time trial. The competition is about who can deal with the same monster faster.

To be fair, the guild will also provide specific armor and weapons, and record breakers can receive more rewards.

"You mean, there's a fighting tournament coming up soon, and Muti can participate?" Orlan asked in a confirming manner.

"That's right, it's not necessarily just Muti who's participating. The fighting competition has both solo and double events. Brother Aolan, you can also participate in it after your training.

Wouldn't it be more efficient to practice sword skills while honing them in actual combat?" Fu Fu said with a smile.

"That's a good idea." Amos, who had been silent the whole time, nodded in approval. "Swordsmanship isn't something you develop in a training ground. Without actual combat, you'll never truly master it."
