I play the mythical beast Paloo in Monster Hunter

"Ok!"

The two of them nodded in unison, their wide eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

"...I'm afraid you've forgotten. Let me reiterate that our main goal is to anger the Ice Curse Dragon and then lead Him to the ambush location. Got it?"

Heiyue looked at the two battle maniacs with concern.

"Yeah, don't worry, we know we can't beat them, but even so, it's hard not to be excited!"

The black wolf bird clenched its little paws, completely unable to suppress the smile on its face.

The Broken Dragon beside him also nodded frequently, "Yeah, being able to fight the ancient dragon head-on is worth it even if I die this time!"

"Where did you learn these weird words? Anyway, just follow my orders and don't get carried away, okay?"

"understood!"

Broken Dragon and Black Wolf Bird replied hurriedly, fearing that if they replied too late, Black Moon would not take them up.

"Okay, let's go!"

Following Black Moon's words, Shattered Dragon's body immediately began to swell and change color, and in the blink of an eye it turned back into its original monster appearance.

Black Moon rode on the back of the Broken Dragon, with the heavy crossbow in his hand loaded with ammunition. He lowered his head and aimed at the Ice Curse Dragon not far away.

boom!

As the gunshot went off, a blue bullet flew out from the thick barrel and headed straight for the Ice Curse Dragon's head.

The high-speed rotating bullet easily penetrated the ice and snow covering the head of the Ice Curse Dragon and landed on the ice-blue scales inside, but it could not penetrate further and could only pass through along the lines of the scales.

"Is it more realistic? I thought I could go all the way through like in the game. Feelings are like being able to just stick to the edge and get through. It's also quite magical though."

Putting the heavy crossbow back on his back, Heiyue covered his ears in advance.

The attacked Ice Curse Dragon also discovered Black Moon and the others at the same time, and its raised forelimbs meant that a demonstrative and warning roar was about to come.

The Broken Dragon immediately seized the opportunity, tightened his legs, pounced on the Ice Curse Dragon with an extremely long jump, and threw the first punch in his fight with the ancient dragon in mid-air.

"Roar--!!"

The piercing roar made Black Moon's body instinctively cover his ears further, but it had no effect on the Broken Dragon and Black Wolf Bird who were already prepared.

A fist covered with green slime and a huge fireball flew towards him almost at the same moment the Ice Curse Dragon roared.

The dragon-crushing fist immediately knocked the unstable Ice Curse Dragon to the ground. The fireball ejected by the black wolf bird also shattered the ice armor on the Ice Curse Dragon the next moment.

"Okay, before He gets up, give Him two more punches!"

While shouting, Heiyue pointed his gun downward and fired several shots at the fallen Ice Curse Dragon.

The Broken Dragon didn't hesitate, and immediately raised his fist and smashed it hard on the Ice Curse Dragon's head. Even the Black Wolf Bird in the sky raised its head and accumulated the energy of continuous fireballs in its body.

Flames and explosions continued to sound in the magma pool. If it were an ordinary monster, Black Moon would have almost lost the ball by now.

However, as the magma at the feet of the Broken Dragon began to solidify and turn black, and white frost slowly fell on the magma pool, a hint of coolness made Black Moon, who was originally feeling the heat, shiver.

The ice-blue dragon spread its wings and forced back the monster that dared to attack it. White frost covered its body again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And unlike the previous ice and snow armor that was meant to melt and fade away, this armor is obviously stronger and harder!

"He is angry, retreat quickly!"

I don’t know if it was because the damage from the Shattering Dragon and the Black Wolf Bird was too high, or if it was simply because it got suddenly beaten that it got angry, but the speed at which the Ice Curse Dragon became angry was obviously much faster than Black Moon expected.

Black Moon, who didn't have time to take out the Flash Ball, looked at the breath of the Ice Curse Dragon and quickly jumped off the back of the Broken Dragon. At the same time, he turned around and used the Palu Ball that had been hung on his wrist with a straw rope to put the Broken Dragon back into the ball.

The breath mixed with countless ice particles bit the broken dragon that turned into light and returned to the ball and shot through.

As Black Moon landed on the ground, he rolled skillfully. Although the magma that had not yet completely solidified caused many parts of Black Moon's body to catch fire, fortunately, Black Moon was still wearing a dragon suit, so his fire resistance was relatively high.

After slapping a few times to put out the flames on his body, Heiyue leaped again, grabbed the black wolf bird that was flying to pick him up, and flew straight towards the stronghold he had arranged in advance.

"Come out, Dragonbreaker!"

Using his free hand to release the Broken Dragon again, Black Moon let the Black Wolf Bird throw him back onto the Broken Dragon's back, then he took out his heavy crossbow again and turned back to face the Ice Curse Dragon that was chasing them.

"Haha, come on! Come and chase me!"

Riding on the back of the Broken Dragon, Black Moon continuously fired penetrating bullets at the Ice Curse Dragon behind him. The bullets kept "penetrating" through the Ice Curse Dragon's body, leaving white marks, and then it was covered by ice again.

Although the damage caused by this is obviously not as high as the damage of Shattering Dragon's two punches, the purpose of Black Moon's shooting was not to cause damage, but to slow down the speed of Frost Dragon's pursuit.

It’s just that I don’t know whether it is a lower-level or higher-level weapon, and it’s a set without any relevant skills. How can it possibly delay the Frost Dragon?

The Ice Curse Dragon spread its wings again and flew directly into the low volcano. The moment it approached the Broken Dragon, it turned around and stabbed its tail like an ice spear towards the Broken Dragon's back.

"Yay, get out of here!!"

But how could Black Moon, who is familiar with the Ice Curse Dragon's moves, not know what He is going to do?

As early as the moment the Ice Curse Dragon flapped its wings and took off, Black Moon had already put away his weapon, took out the flash ball he had prepared in advance from his bag, and threw it directly at the Ice Curse Dragon's face.

Accompanied by a burst of strong light, the Ice Curse Dragon, which had just taken off, immediately fell back to the ground due to the dizziness caused by the strong light.

"Okay, finish off the enemy!"

Needless to say, as soon as the strong light flashed, the Shattered Dragon under him turned around.

The hammer-shaped protrusion on its head immediately fell to the ground, and the green slime mold quickly spread to the side of the Ice Curse Dragon like water stains on the bed, followed by a series of explosions.

The Black Wolf Bird, which had closed its eyes to prevent accidental injury from the flash ball, opened its eyes after hearing the sound and explosion of Black Moon. It raised its head again to gather strength and sprayed a large number of fireballs at the Ice Curse Dragon that had just climbed up.

Huge fireballs that were completely different in size from the Black Wolf Bird's mouth kept falling on the Ice Curse Dragon's body. The armor made of frost showed signs of melting, but was quickly repaired by the condensed ice again.

"It's really hard!"

Unable to help but complain, Black Moon waved his hand and asked the Broken Dragon and Black Wolf Bird to retreat a few steps and keep some distance.

The Ice Curse Dragon, which had just stood up, had not yet recovered from the blindness caused by the strong light and was attacking the surroundings indiscriminately.

Heiyue and the others also took the opportunity to take a short rest, hoping to relax for the subsequent escape and battle.

However, when Heiyue lowered his head to change the bullets for the heavy crossbow, a wisp of "white smoke" floated past the feet of Shattered Dragon.

"This is?"

Heiyue was a little puzzled. He looked up and found that the air around him had turned a little blue without him noticing. The biting cold made him shiver.

"What, what did you do?"

Looking towards the Ice Curse Dragon, on the blackened ground, countless cold air was falling from His body.

The bright yellow eyes raised slightly and looked at the Black Moon riding on the back of the Broken Dragon, revealing a hint of ferocity.

At this moment, Heiyue remembered. Unlike in the game, many of the ancient dragons in the setting seemed to be intelligent.

I'm going to try posting twice a day today. I'm not sure how long I can keep it up, but... I'll just keep doing it for as long as I can.

Lower Rank: New Arrival: Chapter 45 VS Ice Curse Dragon (Part 2)

Near the volcanic base, the heat-fearing Ice Fang Dragon and Wind Drift Dragon were squatting in prepared positions with their tongues hanging out, panting softly.

"Is the master not here yet?"

The Ice Fang Dragon couldn't help but grab the "curtain" on her body and fan herself up and down. However, the hot air in the volcano not only failed to make her feel cool, but made her feel even hotter.

"It should be on the way. After all, if it fails, the master should have walked out of the terminal by now."

The Swift Dragon, who was also afraid of heat, fanned himself with his claws, glanced at the Ice Fang Dragon, and looked her up and down.

"Speaking of which, you are already dressed like this, are you still afraid of the heat?"

"…It's not like I decide on the outfit, and it's still going to be hot, even though it's definitely going to be cooler this way."

The Ice Fang Dragon's face turned slightly red.

"You two, stop chatting, they seem to be coming over!"

The shout of the Boom Dragon made the Ice Fang Dragon and the Swift Dragon alert. They quickly stood up and looked towards the only entrance and exit here.

Boom—boom—boom—!!

The sounds of flames and explosions continued to ring out, and Xunlong and the others immediately realized that the luminous slime mold used for notification and obstruction along the way had been detonated, so they all returned to their reserved positions.

From the narrow tunnel entrance, the tiny black wolf bird flew out first, followed closely by the Shattered Dragon and Black Moon riding on her back, and then the target of this mission - the Ice Curse Dragon.

The moment the ice-blue body stepped in, the temperature inside the stronghold plummeted like a stock undergoing technical adjustments.

The originally red and hot rocks turned black in an instant, and the air distorted by the heat turned into an icy blue at a speed visible to the naked eye. White cold air poured out of the tunnel entrance like a tsunami, covering the entire base.

"WDNM, are you Nana's? Didn't I just dodge you for a second? Are you so angry!?"

Heiyue shouted while shooting at the Ice Curse Dragon. He was only a few meters away from the stronghold he had set up, and he didn't want to give up all his efforts.

Looking back at the open stone door in front of Shattered Dragon, Heiyue hurriedly let Shattered Dragon in.

The Ice Curse Dragon that had caught up to them paused for a moment when he saw the human building, but the bullet that hit his face again made him squint his eyes and he rushed in with the others.

Inside the huge stone house, there was no furniture or equipment that humans would normally use. Only countless green slime molds and wooden barrels filled every corner of the stone house.

"Ha, you've been fooled, Ice Curse Dragon!"

Heiyue jumped off the Broken Dragon's back, grabbed the Black Wolf Bird's ankle, and flew to the only window in the stone house. He took out the ball and quickly climbed through the window, adding:

"Take that! Glowing slime mold and gunpowder barrels in a 20-kilometer radius!"

Following Black Moon's words, Shattering Dragon, who was standing in the center of the stone house, slammed his fists on the ground, and the slime mold on his hands quickly connected with the slime mold arranged in the stone house.

The Ice Curse Dragon was stunned for a moment and looked back at the entrance. The tall stone door had been closed at some point.

Before He could figure out whether to hit the door or the monster that was clearly going to explode everything nearby, the Broken Dragon raised its head and roared:

"burst!!"

Countless bright green slime molds turned yellow and red in the blink of an eye, and a beam of light hit the Broken Dragon who was still in the house from the window, taking her away.

In the huge stone house, there were only the Ice Curse Dragon and countless slime molds and exploding barrels left.

And in the next second...the light swallowed everything!

The astonishing power caused the huge stone house to explode like a landmine, with countless pieces of stone flying out. The air that had been frozen into an icy blue by the Ice Curse Dragon also turned back to its original red color under this terrifying heat.

At the same time, the second layer of the design built by Black Moon was also revealed - an iron defense wall built around the entire cave, as well as fixed crossbows and continuous crossbow cannons built on top of the defense wall.

That’s right, this is the culprit that Black Moon has been preparing for for so long - the Monster Hunter version of the fixed crossbow and fixed rifle!

Just like the weapons that were modified into Monster Hunter weapons, this type of defensive weapon was also modified.

Not only were the mines changed into pitfall traps, paralysis traps, and sleep traps that appeared out of nowhere, but even the fixed rocket launcher that was finally unlocked at level 50 was changed into a cannon.

It’s just a pity that Black Moon’s level has not reached 50 yet, so he can’t build cannons and can only make do with crossbows and ballistas.

"Get ready. Once the smoke clears, focus your fire! Deviljho, Black Wolf Bird, and Dragonbreaker, go down and attack the Ice Curse Dragon. Don't give it a chance to fly up and attack us."

"Ah."

The three challengers nodded.

Heiyue looked at the thick smoke below that had not yet dissipated, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Although the amount of gunpowder he stored in the stone house would definitely be enough to kill more than one Ice Curse Dragon if converted into the game, but considering the law of smoke without damage and the principle that ancient dragons would only become stronger in reality, he still prepared for the worst.

The smoke gradually dissipated, and as expected, the Ice Curse Dragon was still standing there. He was panting on the spot, and except for the shattered ice armor on his body, there was almost no sign of being blown black.

"How, how is this possible!?"

Heiyue was shocked. After all, even if you are a pervert, you wouldn't be like this, right? The amount of explosives I have is enough to blow up a tank, and I think I can wake up Mount Fuji. You are not injured at all, so what's the point of fighting?

However, just when Heiyue's eyes turned white and he was ready to surrender, his shifted vision made him notice the real reason why the Ice Curse Dragon was not seriously injured.

"Humph, damn, is this the wisdom of ancient dragons in reality?"

All around the Ice Curse Dragon, under countless gravels and the ice that had not yet melted, a large amount of slime mold still remained green and safe.

"He was able to stay calm in that situation, using ultra-low temperatures to force the slime mold around him into a dormant state. And judging by the fractures in the ice and the broken ice around him, he probably built an ice wall for defense."
