I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 124 Dragon and Tiger

Li Ming's persistent observation quickly won the favor of residents and resident hunters.

After all, with the current situation, no one would expect the monster to show up.

It should be recognized as due diligence to the garrison contract.

At noon, a caravan member climbed the mountain and rushed to the safe cave, and came to the counter to submit a commission.

The caravan transportation route will basically choose the gap boundary area where monsters do not often appear.

However, in the context of large-scale migration of monsters, these areas will become high-risk areas.

After a natural disaster, it is especially important for villages and towns to restore transportation, so guild branches usually take the initiative to eliminate threats on transportation routes.

This kind of contract is usually completed by the resident hunter and requires a very short time limit.

The client does not need to pay any fees, as long as he has detailed witness information.

Everything is just to make transportation in villages and towns smooth as soon as possible.

The female receptionist Metty has handled similar commission submissions several times recently.

The difference this time is that the target that needs to be eliminated is a water beast that has blocked the transportation line.

Li Ming was extremely excited when he learned about it.

Metty also reminded that the contract was only for five days, and of course the hunting location was not too far away.

In addition, due to the severe shortage of manpower in the guild, it was unable to summon investigators for verification after the contract was completed.

“So how do you certify a hunt?”

Li Ming was puzzled.

"You can try to transport the monster corpse back, or harvest and bring back some key materials."

"Will the freight association reimburse you?"

"No, but we will not charge a share of the material."

"I see."

Li Ming suddenly realized.

With the chain reaction caused by the outage of the base, regional ecological intelligence updates, information transmission, supply distribution, and many other regular assistance will be ineffective.

However, necessary hunting activities still need to be carried out by the hunter team.

It really doesn't make sense that the guild is unable to provide support within the regulations and still wants to seek a share of the materials.

It is better to relax various conditions to motivate the hunter team.

After a short preparation, the team set off.

That evening, we arrived at the area reported in the sighting, a muddy forest trail.

I saw a damaged truck stuck in the mud on the roadside, as well as scattered cargo.

Li Ming speculated that the water beast should be nearby.

However, in order to maintain the smooth flow of transportation lines, many hunting teams have appeared here recently, and there is a high probability that the water beasts have become alert.

After all, the resident hunters in Jieyun Village are quite powerful.

So the strategy of pretending to be a caravan was chosen again.

Late at night, three cat cars traveling in a line encountered a dark shadow blocking them.

Judging from its outline, it looks like a giant lizard.

Aw~ Aw~
A threatening roar sounded.

Those who stand at the forefront of the caravan do not retreat but advance.

One hand pulled off the hood of the raincoat, and the other hand illuminated the front with a lantern.

"is it?"

Chuying's questioning voice sounded from behind.

"Yes."

Li Ming threw his raincoat into the air.

The water beast blocking the road suddenly felt something was wrong when he saw the blue electric light illuminating the surrounding area.

"Finally waiting for you."

Li Ming, illuminated by blue light, looked a little scary in the eyes of the water beast.

But it already regards this place as its own territory.

Faced with the creatures that walk through it at will, unless it is the kind that has absolutely no chance of winning, no matter what, you will not let it go easily.

The water beast crawled quickly with four claws and rushed towards it.

Chu Ying showed off the muzzle of the tight syringe, and Ni Shuang played the hunting whistle.

Hey!
"what!"

One man and one dragon collided head on.

Not long after, the calm-looking water beast hitched a ride on three cat carts.
Li Ming also obtained the [Spongy Super Saturated Water Storage] that he had been dreaming about for a long time.

After inserting the loading fog ball, put on the water beast gauntlet with a large bright yellow sponge.

Two catheter needles are inserted into the skin to complete the docking.

Whenever you encounter a puddle, put your palms in and take a breath.

As the water surface settles rapidly, the spongy material that holds the water expands.

Li Ming clenched his fist to accumulate strength, and used [Water Booster Jet] to guide the flow. The water overflowing from the gauntlet quickly enveloped his fist.

"My punch must not splash water all over the monster."

Li Ming opened his palm, and part of the water flowed back into the gauntlet, and part of it scattered to the ground.

Observation on the pier body shows that the water flow dissolves the soil sand and gravel very weakly, which shows that the content of the dissolving agent in the water-based solution is very low.

Without higher-level water-attribute materials, the increase can only be achieved by increasing the purity.

But Li Ming was not surprised by this.

Because even if it is a water-based weapon, the dissolving agent in the energy injector is injected into the water accumulated in the weapon in proportion to achieve the standard water-based solution blending.

He has not yet mastered the ability to independently generate dissolving agents.

However, the guild's method of refining the raw materials of the dissolving agent provides an idea.

That is to let a large amount of water flow through a circulation system composed of multiple water bags, and the white precipitate extracted is the raw material of the dissolving agent.

This idea is probably to imitate the circulation in the monster's body to produce similar output.

Li Ming, who focuses on developing his body, is very familiar with this method.

Moreover, he has accumulated a lot of relevant experience using various organ bags to generate venom for a long time, and he feels that it should be possible to reproduce it on the body.

As for the required materials, the water beasts on the car are the best source.

Naturally, the refuge cave was not a place for research. Li Ming simply set up his own tent on the mountainside platform and stayed with the corpses of water beasts every day.

If you encounter something you don’t understand, go to the craftsmen or scholars in the cave to discuss and study it.

Although everyone can't understand some of Li Ming's research, they are still happy to help.

Soon, two closed circulation water bags with conduits were loaded onto the handguards on both sides.

Gollum~
Li Ming used [Water Pressurized Jet] as the driving force, and the two water bags immediately began to flow rapidly and alternately transport each other.

Faced with such a small structure, no one can think of producing dissolving agent raw materials.

But only Li Ming knows that he himself is also part of the generative structure.

Ten days later, the water level returned to a safe position, and there was no abnormal movement at Lingfeng.

The residents finally ended their refuge life and returned to the Yuzumo stronghold at the foot of the mountain.

The guarding contract of the ruthless team ended with this, and they began their return journey under the welcome of the residents.

Three days later, two cat cars drove up from the opposite side of the sedan truck.

"The flag of this cat carriage looks like that of Nuanyangyang Camp."

In the front room of the truck, Midoduo said in surprise.

"The uniform cat armor also looks very similar to a cat's."

Bubu agreed.

"Well, that's the armed team in the camp, hello!"

Li Ming immediately raised his head and waved.

"It's Li Ming! Sorry, meow, we are going to Jieyun Village to rescue you now, we don't have time... huh?"

Eller, who was standing on the cat car, quickly realized something was wrong.

After some exchanges, we learned that the team had never returned, and news of a natural disaster came from Jieyun Village.

The tribe decided to dispatch its armed forces to launch the "Rescue the Cruel Squad" operation.Seeing the tired look of the cats, Li Ming was a little touched, but he still tried to persuade them: "Thank you very much, but things like this are very dangerous. Don't try it easily in the future."

"This was decided together by everyone, meow. Everyone is very worried about you. We are really afraid that after a certain hunting trip, we will never come back."

Elle said with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry, that won't happen. Everyone, help put the cat car on the roof. Let's go home!"

As the Cat Car reversed the roof of the truck, the armed team entered the carriage and the team continued on their way.

Four days later, it was warm in the morning at the campground.

Daoji was in front of the door of the two-story wooden house, pacing back and forth anxiously.

The ruthless team lost contact, and there is still no news about the Maomao Armed Team that went to rescue them.

Various bad possibilities kept swirling in his mind.

"I'm back, meow! I'm back, meow!"

As an Elu cat ran and shouted, a large number of cat heads poked out of the wooden houses and tents.

When he came to the wooden fence and saw the returning truck, Daoji finally let out a sigh of relief.

"I knew you were fine, so I wasn't worried at all."

Daoji said calmly.

"Long time no see. I brought back a total of 19 cats this time. They are all from the stream area. The list is here."

"Thank you very much. That cat must be very insecure. Why did you replace the injector with a water bag? Or two?"

Daoji asked doubtfully.

It would be understandable if we were talking about wearing various poison bags to store venom.

Then wearing a water bag, apart from the convenience of drinking water, there is no other use that can be thought of.

"This is a new attempt. By the way, the team needs a lot of lightning bugs. If the reserves are insufficient, can they be purchased directly from the Cat Merchant Guild in the tribe?"

Li Ming asked.

"Of course, you can also replace it with materials that are too much in stock. Uh, what does the team want?"

There was an ominous feeling on the spine of the knife.

"The next goal is to pick up a fox dragon."

"It feels so rushed."

"Including the time it takes to find an emergency contract, it's not too fast."

"Yes, the team is not yet a five-star team, so it is normal to make preparations in advance."

Daoji breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, that green bear beast has been depressed recently. He hasn't eaten much honey. He often runs into the forest and beats up all kinds of monsters with extremely cruel methods."

Daoji felt lingering fear.

"You didn't attack humans or cats, right?"

"Not really, but every time I come back, I have to explore around the camp and then go to sleep listlessly."

"It must have been too long since I last saw him."

"It has a brother?"

"Yes, no more chatting, I'm going to take a look."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he came to the shack in the forest near the sea.

Fish bones and fragments of earthenware pots were scattered on the ground.

Brother Bear was lying on his side in the shack, snoring.

Opening the honey jar, Brother Xiong raised his head slightly and took a sniff, then didn't bother to turn around at all.

Bear Claw groped around, grabbed a smelly fish and threw it over.

"long time no see."

Brother Xiong's ears twitched twice, then turned his head.

Hu~hu~
Taking two deep breaths, he stood up and flew over.

One person and one bear hugged each other for a moment, and then began to fight passionately.

"Oh~ you have great arm strength."

Aw~ Aw~
"I know how to do it, right?"

Aw~ Aw~
At night, in order to celebrate the successful return of the Ruthless Team and the Maomao Armed Team, a grand celebration was held in the camp.

The next morning.

Shui Yun, who was sitting at the counter of the guild and practicing ink painting with a pen, noticed something strange.

So he stood up slightly and looked at the entrance of the guild branch.

Sure enough, Li Ming appeared after a moment.

"It's Li Ming, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yes, Chuying has been coming to pick up the contract recently."

"How can I help?"

Shui Yun said, rolling up the ink painting on the counter.

"I want to take the five-star emergency contract and hunt the Bubble Dragon."

"This could take a long time to find, and is the team really ready?"

Surprise flashed on Shuiyun's face.

"Yes, I have discussed it with other members and everyone agrees."

"Okay, let me register first. If there is a suitable contract, I will find a messenger to contact the Nuanyang camp."

"Thank you. By the way, has the Hunting Tiger Dragon left the Abandoned Shrine?"

"Sigh~ I have a headache just talking about this. The time the resentful tiger dragon has been at the abandoned shrine has far exceeded its hunting period."

Shuiyun sighed and held her forehead, looking very melancholy.

"Is there any special situation?"

Li Ming asked.

After all, the Night Parade of Hundred Dragons is gone. According to common sense, the Resentful Tiger Dragon will not stay here for a long time.

"Do you still remember that Black Eclipse Dragon individual with a tendency to become monstrous? I remember seeing it many times in the sighting reports submitted by the team."

"Yes, I'm very impressed. The last sighting seemed to be in the swamp area."

"Yes, there are eyewitness reports that it was contaminated with a large amount of poison and escaped with serious injuries. It is speculated that it may have been caused by the battle with the two monsters living in the swamp, Purple Poison Lady."

"Isn't it going to destroy the shrine?"

Li Ming suddenly noticed something.

"Yes, it's just what you thought. After disappearing for a period of recuperation, the black dragon appeared in the area of ​​the Waste God Community. In fact, according to the previous handling methods, it was nothing more than distributing more inhibitory injections and blocking part of the contract distribution. But since it met the Resentful Tiger Dragon, neither side has been willing to give in. In short, the situation is developing in an uncontrollable direction."

Shuiyun said helplessly.

"Can the Black Eclipse Dragon last this long?"

It has been more than a month since the team last left the camp.

Li Ming didn't expect that the Black Eclipse Dragon could fight the Resentful Tiger Dragon for such a long time.

"According to Instructor Ni Tai's tracking and observation report, the Black Erosion Dragon individual has partially mastered the ability to become weird, including injecting calamity blood. Therefore, it did not fall into a disadvantage during short-term battles."

"In this case, an emergency contract needs to be issued, right?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

The distance between the two dragons is far enough, and the guild is eager for both sides to fight hard.

As long as you keep a close eye on it, you might still be able to prostitute the monster's body for free.

The problem is that Feiye Fortress is too close to the Abandoned Shrine, and if it doesn't work, they will be forced to join the war and drive them away.

"It has been submitted to the guild headquarters. The branch can actually publish it on its own, but the village chief is still considering it. After all, this kind of contract is too dangerous."

Shuiyun sighed.

"If there is an update on their war situation, can you ask the cat messenger to deliver one to the camp?"

Li Ming felt that Gu Long's ball couldn't hit him, so he could still try the two dragon's balls.

"Most of the cat messengers currently employed by the guild are members of Nuanyang Camp, so there should be no problem."

"Is there any cat coming to work in the fortress? It should be arranged by Daoji. Thank you very much."
