I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 19 Aptitude Tests
[Calling-Huang Sulong King]?
Thinking of the high-pitched cry of the lame Huang Velociraptor, Li Ming suddenly realized that danger was approaching.

"Everyone, hurry up and get the materials! King Huang Sulong is probably nearby!"

Li Ming picked up the mist ball of [Calling - Huang Speed ​​Dragon King], and regardless of his physical fatigue, he opened Huang Speed ​​Dragon's mouth, revealing the two half-moon-shaped fangs on the upper jaw.

Press the head with one hand to fix it, and use the hunter's knife with the other hand to press the root of a fang and cut it quickly.

bang~
Soon, a paralyzed tooth of a Huang Velociraptor was removed.

"The thighs are very tight, meow! Remember to cut them off."

Bubu gives a reminder.

After successfully cutting off two fangs, Li Ming immediately looked at the other two one-star white fog balls that exploded.

One is [Big Jump], [Scratch Strike], and [Calling-Huang Velociraptor].

The other one is [Sleep soundly], [Poison gland paralysis and toxin secretion], [Calling-Huang Velociraptor].

These two can only call Huang Sulong's partner, but the lame one can call Huang Sulong King. It seems that he should be a related household.

Li Ming made a simple inference, and the next step was to select skills.

Even though the introduction of [Big Jump] says that it requires short-term charging, it is still a must-select skill for Li Ming.

Cross the terrain, jump on the back of the monster, escape, and transcend in the air.
[Big Jump] has so many uses, and the Yellow Velociraptor is a small monster that travels on two claws, so there is no need to worry about its adaptability.

As for [Scratch Attack], Li Ming would probably only have the choice if he was reincarnated into a Mer Cat.

[Sleep Soundly] looks nice, but with the current level of stability in the monster hunting world, monsters may come to tear off the roof of the house if you sleep in the stronghold that day, and it cannot be used with confidence in the wild.

[Poison gland paralysis and toxin secretion] is good, but it’s still the same old problem, Li Ming doesn’t have poison glands.

Even if it can really adapt to the extent of producing paralyzing venom, how to squeeze and spray it outside the body is still a problem.

If I use enough strength, I can actually get quite far.
No, taking off your pants while hunting is not only embarrassing, but also actively exposing the body's greatest weakness to monsters, which is also too dangerous.

Li Ming quickly shook his head to get rid of this outrageous idea.

Huang Speed ​​Dragon King was probably on his way, and without much time to think, Li Ming finally chose [Big Jump] among the three fog balls for the first one, and [Call-Huang Speed ​​Dragon] for the second one.

The advantage of this choice is that as long as [Calling Huang Speed ​​Dragon] can be realized through verification, there will be no need to spend a lot of time in tracking Huang Speed ​​Dragon in the future, setting up an ambush and waiting.

The team hung the six dragon legs on their backs, quickly ran out of the sand pit, took all their belongings including tents and barbecue grills, and quickly evacuated in one direction under the setting sun.

The sky is getting dark, and the silver full moon rises from the horizon.

The team found a cave in the mountain, entered and checked and found nothing unusual.

After a short rest, we started setting up camp.

Chuying was responsible for setting up a simple tent, Mi Duoduo collected dead branches to make a fire, and Bubu built a barbecue grill.

Li Ming was on the cliff edge of the cave entrance, fixing the cable that was lowered to the surface.

After the team was busy for a while, a small and simple camp was formed.

Pata~Zizi~
The skewered yellow Athlon thigh meat is rolled and grilled, dripping with golden butter.

Chuying, Midoduo, and Bubu, who was turning the handle of the grill, were all humming a light tune.

Is this the secret of barbecue?
Li Ming sat on the floor and tried to join in.

After humming twice, the sound suddenly stopped.

Whoosh!
Bu Bu's eyes flashed sharply, and he raised his claws fiercely, and the barbecue pole was lifted.

clap ~ clap ~ clap ~
Looking up at the fragrant golden barbecue, the two of them immediately applauded.

"Hmm~ The meat is so firm. It's much more delicious than the Crustacean Herbivorous Dragon."

Li Ming praised.

"Huang Athlon has to travel long distances every day, and its well-developed leg muscles are in activity for a long time, so the meat will definitely be more delicate."

Bubu pinched his waist with his claws and gave an explanation.

"You seem to have a deep understanding of monster flesh?"

Li Ming asked curiously.

"Of course, Meow. I originally wanted to be a chef, Ellu, but high-quality ingredients became increasingly difficult to obtain, so I changed my career to a hunting cat."

Boobu informed.

After dinner, the team took stock of the harvest from the hunt.

Each Yellow Velociraptor has two front groove teeth, which are paralyzed teeth injected with paralyzing toxins.

Logically speaking, we should be able to collect six, but one of the paralyzed teeth was shattered by biting into the hardened mud armor, so we only managed to collect five.

Six yellow velociraptor thighs are currently the team's reserve meat, and two have already been eaten for dinner, so they cannot be included in the profits yet.

Other materials were not harvested due to time constraints and low value.

"If we just want to pass the contract certification, we have actually reached the standard. Do we still need to continue?"

Looking at the unfolded contract, Li Ming asked.

The goal of the contract is indeed to hunt five yellow speed dragons, but the certification method is five yellow speed dragon paralysis teeth.

The guild probably doesn't want this kind of loophole to appear. It would be worth the loss to allow field investigators to travel across the sand plains to certify the hunting of several yellow velociraptors.

As for transporting the body back to the base for certification, the round-trip freight is not enough.

"Go on. The first hunt must be completed successfully at least so that there will be no regrets. In addition, there is no material sharing for this hunt. If you can hunt a few more, the profits will be considerable."

Chuying expressed her thoughts.

"That's right. If it were another four-person team planning a hunting trip, they wouldn't be in a hurry to return after getting five paralyzed teeth."

Li Ming agreed.

"As for the camp watch, at what time do you want to do it?"

Seeing that the night was getting dark, Chuying asked.

"Later in the night."

"Ok."

After Chuying finished speaking, she stood up and sat down directly opposite the entrance of the grotto.

Bubu brought two small bags. After opening them, one contained a bunch of cone-shaped empty fruit shells, and the other contained a spiked fruit core.

"Is this to reconcile ballista bullets?"

Li Ming asked after seeing this.

"Yes, meow, embed the needle fruit into the hollow fruit, then add a little gunpowder powder to compact it, and it will be a level 2 normal bomb."

Boo Boo replied.

"The level 1 normal bullets given by the guild are not easy to use, are they?"

Li Ming speculated.

"The range and power are somewhat different. Unless the ammunition reserve is really exhausted, few people will use it."

While Chu Ying was talking, she took the hollow fruit from Bubu to complete the fitting, poured a little gunpowder powder into the end opening, clamped it firmly with a press, and a level 2 normal bullet was completed.

"Speaking of ammunition mixing, could you and Mido do a favor?"

Chuying asked tentatively.

"You want me and Mido to help collect materials for making ammunition when we are collecting in the wild?"

Li Ming asked.

"Yes, although Bubu and I are also paying attention to gathering, once the real hunting begins, the ammunition reserves are still a little tight."

"Yes, but Midoduo and I may not be able to distinguish all ammunition materials."

"I have a blending book here that specifically introduces the blending of ammunition and explosive barrels. You can use it as a reference. The most lacking ones at the moment are needle fruits and hollow nuts. I'm sorry to bother you."

"We are all teammates, there is no need to be so polite."

Li Ming took the reconciliation book. Like Daju's previous reconciliation book, it was also published by Longli Academy. It also had detailed pictures and text annotations for each required material.

"Do you have any needed materials? Bubu and I will also pay attention."

Chuying asked.

"The seed of strange strength, I have been doing strength training recently, and I am lacking this."

"Remember Meow, leave it to us." Bubu responded.

"There's something else I want to ask you."

Chuying said hesitantly.

"Don't worry, hello."

"Why can you absorb silt on your body?"

"This is the secret technique of ancient hunting, practiced hard."

Li Ming said nonsense.

"I see."

Chu Ying looked astonished.

when!when!Wow~
On the edge of the cliff outside the cave, Li Ming struck with the back of his charged sword, shattering the last piece of mud armor on his legs.

Get up and stretch your body and feel instantly relaxed.

After that, I took out my notepad and started recording my experience of using [Milt Armor].

Let’s talk about the shortcomings first. If the mud is too thick, it will be too heavy. If the mud is thin, the defense strength will plummet. It may take a long time to use it to master the scale.

High-quality mud is also a bit difficult to obtain. In the mud swamp I went to, the quality of the mud was too low, as thin as water. It was completely incomparable to the rich and thick mud on the back of the earth sand dragon.

There seems to be a reason why there are no earth sand dragons inhabiting such a large swamp.

If you encounter better soil quality, you can try to mix it yourself.

In terms of application techniques.

The mud should be applied more evenly next time. The mud on the joints of the body will peel off quickly with movement after hardening, so just apply a thin layer.

In terms of defense strength, Huang Velociraptor can basically withstand the bite and claw scratches, but judging from the depth of the claw marks embedded in it, it is better not to resist the attacks that should be avoided.

In terms of comfort, it is a bit uncomfortable to have it stuck to the body for a long time without being breathable. I should leave a few air holes next time when I equip myself.

In terms of attribute resistance, it is speculated that it can resist fire and lightning strikes to a certain extent.

Dragon attribute, ice attribute resistance is unknown, weak to water is certain.

After recording and summarizing, Li Ming came to the innermost tent of the grotto, lay down on the animal skin mat, and fell asleep with Midoduo.

In the early morning, the night shift takes place.

Li Ming sat at the entrance of the grotto.

At night outside the sand plains, except that the wind noise was quieter, it was not much different from the core area.

He unfolded the map and carefully studied the swamp marked points on it.

As the sun rises, the team gears up and sets off to the swamp.

Midoduo and Bubu ran frequently along the way, carefully exploring plants that might contain ammunition materials.

The time came to noon, and the improved version 2.0 [Milt Armor] was formed.

This is far enough away from the camp, it's time to try the calling skill.

After Li Ming made his decision, he guided the other members of the team to ambush at a high place in the distance, while he himself came to the bottom of the sunken sand pit.

After experiencing yesterday's ambush plan, Chu Ying knew that she must have been fully prepared, so she immediately followed it.

There is only one word difference between [Call-Huang Sulong King] and [Call-Huang Sulong], so be sure not to put them in the wrong words.

After Li Ming confirmed it three times, he stuffed [Calling-Huang Speed ​​Dragon] into his chest.

The next step is to test out the activation method.

"It's so strange, meow. Didn't Li Ming ask you to cooperate last time and wait for a long time to ambush three yellow velociraptors? Why is it only him this time?"

Bubu, who was watching, asked curiously.

"I don't know very well, Miao, but I feel that Li Ming is very confident, and I believe in him."

Midodo responded.

"But I still don't understand, meow."

Bubu frowned.

"Believe Li Ming, he must have a careful plan."

Chuying, who was lying down and taking aim, informed.

"Ahem~Huang Velociraptor! Come quickly!"

At this time, Li Ming's shout came.

One person and two cats were immediately stunned.

"Is this a careful plan, meow?"

Bubu Cat's mouth opened in an O shape, with a look of disbelief.

"Maybe. Maybe I don't know either."

Chuying tried to explain several times, but she still failed.

Li Ming, who was at the bottom of the pit, was lost in thought.

Sure enough, it doesn't work. I don't have the physiological structure of Huang Velociraptor, so how can I shout a roar to attract my companions?

Human language is even worse.

Is this a useless skill?
At this time, the sight of the lame Huang Velociraptor being forced into a desperate situation, raising his neck and roaring, suddenly appeared in his mind.

despair, loneliness, helplessness
All emotions converge at this moment.

"Uh, this is how I feel. I really want to shout out."

Li Ming tried to suppress his impulse, but suddenly remembered that this might be the correct way to release his skills, so he used enough breath to shout.

"I'm going to die!!! Who can come and save me!!!"

This extremely penetrating shout had an extremely shrill tone, as if it could penetrate the clouds.

"Li Ming is going to die, meow!"

Midoduo, who stood stunned for a moment, was the first to react and jumped out directly.

Chu Ying, who raised the heavy ballista, was about to slide towards the sand pit, but she calmed down and watched carefully for a moment, and then stopped her action after confirming that Li Ming was not injured.

"Have you failed again?"

Li Ming rubbed his torn and painful throat and sat on the sand with a look of helplessness.

"Li Ming! What happened to you, meow!"

Midoduo said excitedly and stuffed the bottle of recovery medicine directly into Li Ming's mouth.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Pointing to the medicine bottle, indicating that he couldn't speak, Midoduo removed the cat's paw.

"Pfft!. I'm fine. I'm sorry for making you worry."

Li Ming spit out the green concoction, then lay down on the sand.

"It scared me to death, meow. When I heard you yelling so pitifully, I thought I was under a fatal attack and was making my last struggle."

"Well, is it really that miserable?"

Li Ming asked.

"Of course, meow. Only hunters who are seriously injured on the cat cart will make a sound similar to the one just now, but the sound is not that loud. At this time, Eller will take out a wooden stick and put it in the hunter's mouth to let him bite."

"Are you afraid that the hunter will be in too much pain and bite his own tongue?"

"No, meow, I'm afraid of being heard by monsters. Similar screams from hunters can easily attract monsters."

After hearing Midoduo's explanation, Li Ming sat up suddenly.

[Call-Huang Speedlong] It’s realized!

There is a feeling that you don’t care how I achieve it, it’s achieved anyway.

Is this an adaptive manifestation of the fog ball, or is it an accident?
In the confusion, several familiar roars came from the distance.
