I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 126: Bubble Fox Dragon

Amidst the salty sea breeze, the transport ship docked, and the team ended its six-day voyage.

At noon, the harbor terminal was very busy with a large number of cargo containers being hoisted.

In the Jungle Guild branch hall, cats are delivering food on trays, and hunters are drinking from cups.

"Hello, I would like to authenticate the contract."

Li Ming at the counter unfolded the contract and handed it over.

"pass it to me."

The dark-skinned female receptionist took it and took a look. The warm smile on her face suddenly stopped.

"This is a five-star hunting contract!"

The exclamation, which was not too loud, soon attracted many hunters to watch, and the noise was instantly suppressed.

"Sorry, I was the one who lost my temper."

The female receptionist straightened her tie, opened a heavy book containing a summary of recent ecological information, and began to compare it carefully.

"The latest sighting report of the Bubble Fox Dragon was submitted two days ago. There is no sign of migration. It is important to remind you that there were sighting reports of heavy beetles deep in the jungle some time ago, so please pay more attention to any intruders during the hunt. .”

After completing the certification, the female receptionist handed over the latest jungle map and four high-end cat meal tickets together with the contract.

The difference with premium cat meal tickets is that the selection of ingredients will be wider.

During the voyage, the team had already selected cat meals suitable for this hunt, sat down in the lobby and started ordering.

Not long after, the combination of braised general sickle crab claws and grilled Daming shield crab legs was brought to the table.

This is a package designed to activate water attribute resistance and water attribute abnormalities.

Hunters eat very quickly, sometimes so fast that they can't even see the process, and only empty plates are left.

After getting up and patting their stomachs, the team arrived at the supply distribution point at the harbor base.

When the warehouse manager saw that the contract was five-star, his expression immediately became serious.

Soon, a wooden box was moved out by the uncle.

"Is this box of 20 bottles of dispersant enough?"

enough?

Facing the uncle's inquiry, Li Ming was a little confused, so he gave a reminder.

"Uncle, according to the contract supply quantity label, the team should receive 8 bottles."

"Puffing Fox Dragon is a five-star monster. We must prepare sufficient supplies. 8 bottles are not enough. Don't worry, I will take the responsibility for anything that happens. I won't put any burden on the team, right?"

"Well, that's not the case."

"Then bring it with you. We also need a paralysis trap as a supply, and five poison-soaked knives."

Not long after, Li Ming and Mido Duo's hands were filled with various supplies.

"Oh~ It's almost time. Be careful, young hunter. Five-star monsters are not that easy to deal with. I wish you all can come back safely."

"We will."

Under the watch of the uncle, one person and one cat left.

After reuniting with other members, the team and three cat cars headed towards the dense forest.

Without the Ming Shield Crab and the Peach-haired Beast King, the ecological environment outside the dense forest has become much more friendly, and there are more collectors.

"A long time ago, the legendary ruthless team led the cats to defeat the terrifying peach-haired beast king Meow near this coast."

The Ellu collector carrying a small backpack began to tell the story to his companions.

"That battle must be fierce, nya."

the companion asked in surprise.

"Yes, meow, it is said that the clouds in the sky have burst."

"That's awesome, meow."

The companion looked up at the white clouds with fascination on his face.

Ni Shuang, who was marching behind, asked, "Is that you?"

"um, yes."

Li Ming nodded and said.

"I only knew that it was recorded in the team's hunting resume, but I didn't expect the process to be so exciting."

"I can tell you about it when I have time, meow."

Mido introduced himself.

"it is good."

Ni Shuang responded with a smile.

Two days later, as we went deeper into the dense forest, the number of collectors we met along the way dropped sharply.

Arriving at the general area defined by witness reports, the team established a camp in the cave.

In terms of food reserves, the team hunted a large number of small shield crabs, fungus pigs, and wild boars along the way, so there is no need to worry in the short term.

The appearance of the five-star monster Heavy Beetle was completely unexpected.

And according to ecological habits, there is a high probability that there will be a Thor Beetle guarding it.

Although the Thor Beetle is only a two-star monster, if the two cooperate in a coordinated battle, the threat will further increase.

In the evening, three people and two cats discussed around the campfire.

A hard-line approach will definitely not work. Tracking and exploring from both sides will scatter the team.

In the end, Midoduo came up with a plan, which was to use the power of various local cat tribes to carry out continuous tracking and investigation.

Whenever there is a change in the movement of the heavy beetle, a signal flare will be fired to alert it.

With such an early warning strategy, the level of security will definitely be greatly improved.

As for the initial investment, it requires some contact and deployment time. It would be great if you can bring some gifts that the cats will like.

All members agreed with this proposal. The next day, the team was divided into two groups. Li Mingchuying and one group began to explore the ecological traces of Paohulong and try to narrow the search scope.

Ni Shuang escorted Midoduo Bubu and visited various cat camps.

At noon, Li Ming found a large amount of foaming synovial fluid residue next to a forest shoal.

Its concentration is so high that just by gently rubbing it with your fingers, a large number of bubbles will rise.

The two took out the empty bottles and collected them.

"After adding water, it will be the foaming synovial fluid we buy in the store, right?"

Chuying asked.

"Yes, but given the depth of this area, the tracking target is still the fox dragon. Only experienced collectors can guarantee safety."

After experiencing it personally, Li Ming felt that there was a certain reason why foaming synovial fluid was so expensive.

"I wanted to test the results of balance training."

Chuying suggested.

After all, this top-level training scene cannot be simulated in the camp.

"Okay, I'll prepare the dispersant to help you be on guard."

If you fall on a large amount of high-purity foaming synovial fluid, a large amount of it will adhere to the surface of the armor.

This abnormal state of being covered in bubbles may seem funny, but it is actually very dangerous if you cannot maintain your balance in the wild.

"Oh~oh~oh! Woo! Hoo~"

Stretching her hands sideways and swinging them constantly to maintain balance, Chuying finally stood firm and started to take steps.

"It would be great if we could use the foaming synovial fluid to travel by sliding."

Chuying, who was walking slowly, sighed.

"This idea is similar to what I used to do."

"Perhaps because we have been hunting together for a long time, I have also been affected, haha. Alas! Fortunately, I didn't fall."

"In fact, someone has already thought of it."

"Who?"

"The guild that designs equipment for hunters. In the equipment design diagram given by Daoji, the Bubble Dragon Armor has a similar design. Water is injected into the armor surface to generate foaming fluid, and the hunter slides, rolls and rubs it, and then Adding the smooth Foul Fox material, the friction can be reduced to an extremely low level, and then the ability of the Foul Foul material can be used to stimulate the sliding and offset the imbalance that is not conducive to the body. The idea is quite subtle. "

Li Ming explained.

"I seem to have heard that that ability is called Bubble Dance. It is said that as long as the monster's attack angle is slightly shifted, it will slide past the surface of the armor without causing any damage." "It shouldn't be that exaggerated, but it is true. Witnessed cases of golden lions sliding away after being grasped. Unfortunately, the amount of foaming synovial fluid generated by water injection into the armor alone is too low. Otherwise, the entire high-speed sliding hunting operation is not impossible. Therefore, the most practical applications of bubble dance are all Concentrated on Paohulong."

Li Ming sighed.

"If you want to hunt the Foul Fox Dragon, it's best to wear the Foul Fox Dragon Armor!"

slap~
Chuying muttered and fell to the ground.

Two days later, the teams divided into two groups made good progress.

Although Li Ming Chuying did not witness and confirm the Buhulong, the search scope has been reduced to the minimum.

On the side of Ni Shuang and the two cats, the Maomao camp has no resistance to the gift of self-produced drugs.

What's more, it was the ruthless team that requested assistance, and they immediately expressed their full cooperation.

Although heavy beetles are extremely scary to cats, if they just observe the movements from a distance, as a local cat resident in this area, they can still do it.

Therefore, the green cat's claw signal flare became the communication signal for calibrating the movement direction of the heavy beetle.

everything's ready.

In the early morning, the team was ready to go and explore the narrow forest area.

The four nearby cat tribes all mobilized to observe the movements of the Heavy Beetle and the Thor Beetle.

As the exploration unfolds, more and more traces of Bubblesaurus remain on the surface.

Midoduo even collected a piece of broken white scales that shimmered in iridescent colors.

Towards noon, the sound of water flowing could be heard.

A rushing river appeared across the mountain forest.

Since a large number of collected traces pointed here, the team slowed down and moved stealthily in the jungle.

After pushing aside the bushes, a monster with a white fox face was curled up and crawling peacefully on the sandy ground on the river bank, with its head resting on its paws.

The two white tentacles on the tip of the nose tremble slightly with breathing.

A large number of fins stand up on the back, shining a moist peach pink in the sun.

The purple mane on the abdomen under the tail is continuously sucking water from the wet sand into the body.

"There is such a beautiful dragon cat, no wonder it is called the coquettish dance."

Midodo exclaimed.

"The old knight has good taste, but if you fall in love with a monster, there will usually be no good results."

Li Ming sighed.

"Yes, loving each other is the right way."

Chuying agreed.

Ni Shuang took a deep breath, as if trying to gather his courage, and then asked: "Do you want to start fighting directly?"

"Fighting in an area with a river has its own advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the foaming synovial fluid can be washed away by the river water. The disadvantage is that the Bubble Fox Dragon can replenish water at any time. If you want to know the advantages and disadvantages, only actual combat can test it."

Li Ming informed.

"Then come on! If I can die under the claws of the Foul Fox Dragon, it may mean that I am not even qualified to face the Skeleton Dragon."

Ni Shuang cheered up.

"Okay, I'm going then. Three brothers, remember to pull me in time if you are in danger."

Li Ming stuck three pieces of spider silk to his legs, then walked out of the bushes and slowly moved forward.

Huwu~huwu~
The sleeping Paohulong snored.

In this light sleep state, as long as it touches the surrounding bubbles to burst them, the Bubble Fox Dragon will wake up immediately and enter an alert state.

Generally, after assessing the threat, they will choose to eliminate the opponent or expel them.

There are eyewitness reports that even Elu accidentally offended the fox dragon and caused it to wake up.

The opponent did not launch an attack, but used foaming synovial fluid to repel it.

As for Paohulong's assessment criteria for threats, naturally no one can find out.

Li Ming can only try it himself to see if the dance of love can work.

Touching the bubbles will automatically burst them, which seems a bit irritating. A gentle wake-up call is better.
Li Ming raised the Night Bird waist drum and began to sway while beating.

Pao Hulong's heavy eyelids opened, and blue eyes appeared.

Hey~
After leaning in a little with his neck, he looked at the human beings swaying to the rhythm of the drums.

After a while, Pao Hulong's eyelids gradually sank as he was surrounded by blue sound waves.

This time, instead of using the pillow on his forepaws, he just lay down on his side with his mouth slightly open.

"Whoo~"

Li Ming took a long breath and continued to penetrate.

slap~
He raised his hand to pop a large bubble. Seeing that the Bubble Fox Dragon didn't respond, he immediately called the other members of the team to take action.

Bubu climbed to the top of the tree canopy and watched the signal flares being launched.

Midoduo sets up paralysis traps.

Chuying set up detonating dragon bombs on the ground.

Ni Shuang plays the hunting whistle, which is expanded and strengthened by sound waves.

Li Ming swallowed the lightning bug in a big mouth.

"The stacking of two carts of small explosive barrels is completed."

Eller reported.

"Very good. Although the ambulance team rarely carried out rescues in the past, the crisis level this time is no more than usual. We must always pay attention and never be careless."

"Don't worry, Meow! The other two Catmobiles are also good at first aid. Let's go take cover."

After Eller finished speaking, he guided the cat cart to leave the scene and retreat.

"are you ready?"

As Li Ming spoke, lightning surged from his arms.

"of course."

Ni Shuang, standing on the other side of Paohulong's head, gave a firm answer.

"Then come on! Six Lightning Axes!"

Poof!Boom!
boom!boom!boom!
Paohulong, who was hit on the head by an axe, woke up from his sweet dream.

As soon as he opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with the green-blue electric light that he hated most.

Then the hammer hit his head again, making a buzzing sound.

However, these two attacks were just the beginning, as a large amount of flames and smoke spread all over the body.

It stood up on its four paws with sharp hooks, and its downy tail swung forward.

When~ poof!

He hit the ax blade head-on, and his body used the force to slide backwards.

This is a displacement move similar to softening defense.
Li Ming was quite surprised. He did not expect that the other party could get rid of the attack in this way.

If you want to pursue and follow up at this time, you must set foot on the path covered with foaming synovial fluid.

Although using melee weapons to fight the Bubble Dragon, it would only be a matter of time before a large number of people were infected, but this was a bit too fast.

The single-legged form I developed was originally prepared for this hunt. Work hard!

Li Ming dismantled his sword and shield, touched the ground alternately with one leg and the charged sword, and rushed straight away.

The path filled with thick, frothy synovial fluid provided no hindrance to its movement at all.

At this time, Paohu Longyan was confused, because in his consciousness, he could not match any similar creature.

At the same time as the charged sword slashed horizontally, the power of the earth stepped down with both feet.

Li Ming dug deep with his steps, perfectly resisting possible imbalances.

Paohulong received another blow on the head.

Ow! ! !
A roar dispersed the smoke and dust lingering around him.

The Bubble Fox Dragon raised its front paws and struck down hard.
