"Don't rush, Olivia."
Olivia turned to look at Zhou Si, hoping to get information about the monster from him, but Fabius stopped her.
Fabius shook his head slightly at her, signaling the other teams to take turns sharing their findings.
Apart from a few teams, almost all the other hunters encountered species they had never seen before. It should be noted that among those present were many scholars with in-depth research on environmental ecology, but even they had never seen those creatures before.
Some of these creatures have integrated into the local ecosystem, but many more are rampaging through it. The most prominent among them, like the escaped Honkai Beast and the Fallen Star Beast, have already caused significant damage to the ecosystem.
Even if this is a forbidden place that no one has ever set foot in before, this is still too illogical.
"As you've probably heard, the environment in the Forbidden Land is far worse than we imagined, and this investigation will likely be much more difficult than we anticipated."
"Therefore, subsequent investigations must be conducted with utmost caution."
"Team Star and Team Bird, please stay behind. The rest of you, please leave."
Fabius looked serious. After repeatedly emphasizing the special nature of this investigation, he redeployed the investigation efforts of each team and then let them leave.
Only the Star Team and the Bird Team, who had fought those monsters, remained.
"Mr. Zhou Si, do you know that kind of monster?"
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Honkai Beast from another world. That Thorn Spider was most likely transformed into a Honkai Beast by Honkai energy, which is why it came back to life."
Zhou Si voiced her guess, but Eric, who was next to Olivia, raised more questions.
Will this energy spread? Is the transformation contagious?
"this..."
Zhou Si was stunned. Although he knew the general reasons for the formation of Honkai Beasts, he really didn't know the specific conditions required for transformation or whether it would spread. He didn't even know if Honkai energy existed in the Monster Hunter world.
“Lord Fabius, if that Honkai Beast can transform into more beings similar to the Thorn Spider, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Olivia's words made Fabius nod. If what Olivia and the others said was true, these monsters from another world were even more dangerous than the Mad Dragon Disease, because they knew far too little about Honkai Beasts and Honkai Energy.
Faced with a creature they knew so little about, the atmosphere in the tent became somewhat silent as they all seriously considered their options.
"Perhaps I can find a professional who understands Honkai energy."
Just when everyone was at a loss, Zhou Si suddenly remembered something and spoke up.
He may not understand Honkai energy, but others do!
At this moment, Zhou Si finally remembered the lonely Ellie, whom he had been waiting for for a long time. However, she was not Zhou Si's ultimate target. His real target was Dr. Mebius.
If you were to ask who had the deepest understanding of Honkai at this point in time, it would definitely be her.
However, if you want to reach a cooperation agreement with her, your friendship with Alicia alone is not enough; you need to use something of greater value to negotiate with her.
But coincidentally, the Hunter's Guild has no shortage of such bargaining chips, and Mebius will most likely be interested in the various monster materials in the guild.
Zhou Si told Fabius about his idea, and after thinking for a moment, Fabius nodded and agreed with Zhou Si's idea.
"Go contact Dr. Mebius; the guild will provide enough leverage."
Fabius was clearly not in a good mood as he watched Zhou Si and the others leave.
Although he agreed to Zhou Si's plan, Fabius clearly understood the principle of not putting all his eggs in one basket. He then summoned other hunters and ordered them to search for traces of the Honkai Beast in the Crimson Forest.
......
Stepping out of the massive tent, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the rocks, illuminating Zhou Si's face. The hot wind blew against his skin, and the overwhelming amount of information made him involuntarily sigh. Seeing this, the lone bird patted him on the shoulder.
"What, regretting becoming a hunter?"
The caged bird's voice was as cold and clear as ever, but Zhou Si could still hear the concern in it.
"...That's not the case."
"I'm just a little irritable."
Zhou Si rubbed his temples. These monsters from another world shouldn't be things that appear in the Monster Hunter world at all. Putting aside what other teams encountered, the two that Team Star and Team Bird encountered were no good either. A slight mistake could lead to disaster.
But that's not the real reason he's anxious.
What really bothered Zhou Si was that he felt the appearance of these monsters might be related to him.
If Zhou Si's suspicions are true, then perhaps he is the culprit behind the appearance of these monsters, something he cannot accept under any circumstances.
But let's think about those things later. The most important thing right now is to contact Ellie.
Let me eat first: [@PinkFairyMiss, are you there?]
Miss Pink Fairy: [Why are you suddenly contacting me? Suspicious.jpg]
"Anything that starts with 'Are you there?' is never a good thing." This is an experience that humanity has accumulated over thousands of years, and Alicia obviously understands this as well.
Zhou Sige has been looking for her for so long, so her sudden call must be for something important.
Seeing that Ellie replied so quickly, Zhou Si immediately explained the situation to her, stating their request to communicate with Dr. Mebius.
Pink Fairy: [I can relay this to Mebius, but I can't guarantee it will be successful.]
Pink Fairy: [Don't worry, even if Mebius doesn't agree, I'll still help you! Just let me touch Bai a lot then.]
Let me cook first: [Then I'll leave it to you.]
Ellie readily agreed to Zhou Si's request, and now all that's left is to wait for news from her.
However, at that moment, Bai suddenly emerged from the Hunter's Book.
"Boss! The gear is ready, meow!"
Chapter Thirty-Five: Boss, This is Also a Katana Cat
"Boss, the equipment's ready, meow!"
"I just popped out of the Hunter's Book," Bai said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Si burst into tears. Was this finally some good news? However, as this was his first set of equipment since becoming a hunter, Zhou Si was quite nervous.
Is it finally coming? My katana!
Back in the New World, he was incredibly envious of the Caged Bird's cool "wardrobe," but from now on, he too is equipped!
"Hurry up and bring it here, I can't wait any longer."
Zhou Si rubbed his hands excitedly, and under his expectant gaze, Bai took out a set of dark blue armor from the Hunter's Book.
The armor made from the scales of the Thunder Dragon (Honkai) lay silently on the ground. Its deep blue surface reflected a metallic luster, and the scales were arranged like the claws of a ferocious beast. The sharp edges were enough to send chills down one's spine.
Zhou Si stared wide-eyed at the equipment and couldn't help but poke the caged bird beside her.
"Holy crap, this is so cool! Do you have any new clothes this cool, you little bird?"
Lone Bird hardened her fist, but she still tried her best to hold back her anger. After all, she could understand this feeling very well, and she would also be very happy every time she finished making new equipment.
Or perhaps seeing Zhou Si in this nostalgic state gave her a sense of being a mentor.
Zhou Si didn't see the tolerant look in the lone bird's eyes. At this moment, he couldn't wait to put on the equipment. Only when all the equipment pieces were on did he truly realize how much a hunter could be enhanced by a set of equipment made from powerful monster materials.
Leaving aside the fact that the armor covers almost the entire body, this suit of armor was made from the materials of that Thunder Dragon. The strength of its scales was such that even Zhou Si couldn't break through it with pure strength. Moreover, this equipment is obviously more than that.
The greatest function of a hunter's equipment is to provide them with a variety of powerful skills. After putting on this equipment, Zhou Si could clearly feel a certain force acting on his body, which improved his physical attributes such as agility.
And that's not even the most outrageous part!
In addition to providing him with a large number of basic skills, this set of armor also gives him a skill called Absolute Defense Stance. This skill can create a blue aura around him, and this field can negate one attack. It is currently unknown what the upper limit of the negation is.
The equipment is already so powerful, and it looks really cool too. Zhou Si can hardly imagine how cool he would look wearing this outfit and fighting monsters with a katana!
"Bai, isn't it your turn now?"
After Bai finished explaining the equipment's skills, Zhou Si's smile became even more sinister. He had already decided who he would give his first Dragon Slash to.
Moreover, once he gets the Thunder Dragon's Greatsword, he'll never have to worry about the Talonflame again and can use Sight Slash and Rising Dragon at will!
"Um..."
Seeing its owner's expression become somewhat inhuman, Bai's voice suddenly sounded a little guilty.
"Boss, I have something to tell you. Don't be scared or angry."
"I'm a professional hunter, I'm not afraid, besides, you're my best partner!"
Zhou Si patted Lei Honglong's breastplate, making a loud thud, his smile unwavering, seemingly oblivious to Bai's odd appearance.
"Ha ha..."
After seeing his master's confident expression, Bai chuckled twice, then walked silently towards the Hunter's Book. Finally, after glancing at Zhou Si's expectant gaze, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and pulled the mysterious weapon out of the Hunter's Book.
"Hahahaha, with such a magnificent blade, why can't I...can't I?"
Zhou Si had only opened half of his champagne when he saw the weapon that Bai had taken out of the Hunter's Book.
The moment Zhou Si saw the weapon, his vision went black and he fell backward.
It was a huge weapon, entirely blue, with a slender handle covered in blue and white animal scales. But at the other end of the handle was not the katana Zhou Si had been longing for, but a large hammerhead. Upon closer inspection, Zhou Si even discovered several sound holes on it.
If Zhou Si wasn't mistaken, what was placed in front of him was a genuine hunting whistle.
This is an extremely unpopular weapon, even among hunters. So unpopular that even a lone bird has hardly ever seen anyone carrying a hunting horn in the Hunter's Guild.
But this doesn't mean the weapon isn't strong. On the contrary, because the Hunting Horn can buff itself, its DPS is actually much higher than many people imagine.
But Zhou Si obviously didn't care about any of that. He hated those who prioritized power more than anything else. Did he choose the katana for its power? It was all for the sake of looking cool!
"Why? Tell me why?"
Zhou Si pointed at his Palico in disbelief. He had repeatedly told him to get a katana, so how did he end up with a flute?
"Boss, is it possible that this is actually a katana, meow?"
Shiro was extremely flustered at this moment, standing helplessly next to the hunting flute, trying to convince his master that it really was a katana.
Then it started saying something. This flute and the katana are essentially no different. They can increase damage after completing the initial attack and then unleash a powerful attack.
This flute... no, this katana doesn't even need constant upgrades to red edge; you just need to refresh the buff when the time comes. Isn't that stronger than a regular katana?
"Little Bai, do I look like an idiot to you?"
Zhou Si tried to keep his expression as calm as possible, excluding his hands, whose veins were bulging.
"Pfft..."
The lone bird standing nearby couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Serves you right for showing off earlier, now you're getting your comeuppance!"
"I'm sorry, boss. I also wanted to forge you a cool katana, but that alchemy furnace just wouldn't listen to me, meow."
Bai lowered its head dejectedly, and Zhou Si was puzzled by its words.
"An alchemical furnace?"
"That's right, meow! Meow is the one who crafts equipment for her master through the system's alchemy furnace. The equipment she wears is fixed, so it doesn't matter, but the weapon seems to be random..."
Bai truthfully revealed the truth about equipment crafting, and Zhou Si still tried to struggle even after learning the truth.
"If I acquire the materials later and hand them over to the guild's craftsmen, will they be able to forge the weapon I want?"
Then Bai shook his head at his somewhat desperate gaze.
"Materials obtained through system commissions can only be used to craft cats here. This is because, in order to balance the influence of other worlds, the craftsmen in the Hunter world cannot use those materials."
Zhou Si looked at Bai, then at the hunting flute on the ground, and finally could only tearfully carry it on her back.
I was too tired from going out yesterday, I'll update later when I wake up.
I was so tired when I got back from going out yesterday, so I'm going to sleep now. I'll make up for it with an extra update later.
Goodnight everyone, see you this afternoon.
