I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 197 Invasion of Shuiwu Forest

Seeing that the surrounding ecology was prosperous, Li Ming began to practice flying knives.

With the strength of the terrifying throwing force, the small monsters wandering around the road were basically killed with one blow as long as they could hit their vital points, so there was no need to quench their tongues.

After practicing for three days along the way, Li Ming concluded a strange phenomenon, that is, since the area of ​​the Wasted God Community was opened, the number of monsters with strong hostility has obviously increased.

In the past, traveling long distances required intermittent stops to hunt to ensure adequate food reserves.

Now, due to too many monsters actively attacking the truck, the chilled carriage was already full yesterday.

It seems that the monsters in other areas are not very friendly towards the Overlord.

In order for Li Ming to drive, all the fog balls have been uninstalled.

Only the [Overlord] integrated into itself is the only fog ball that can attract monsters.

The advantage of this situation is that there is no need to stop midway to hunt.

Monsters with strong enough hostility will come to them on their own, and their traveling speed will be significantly increased.

The disadvantage is that it is easy to detect in advance.

The monster has no idea about the "humanoid overlord".

After watching, you will probably just feel that this monster is so arrogant, so small, and has never been seen before, and it must be taught a lesson.

Once you try to get closer, you become a moving target for flying knives.

A day later, a series of shallow shoals appeared in front of us.

Li Ming stored the truck at a small stronghold in the wild and found the hunters and gatherers stationed here to inquire about the Velociraptor in the Red Glory Meteor Contract.

As a result, the topic that everyone focused on and discussed was the golden lion that recently visited Shuiwu Forest.

Only the uncle responsible for taking care of Marudori has been stationed here for many years.

It gives personal information that the blades on both sides have a lot of old wounds, and he is extremely good at using his tail to fight.

Unfortunately, although the information is available, it has not been updated for a long time because the number of hunter teams rushing to Shuiwu Forest has been decreasing in recent years.

And the uncle said that because the golden lion occupied the area, the Velociraptor's activities were severely restricted.

It is speculated that he is either hiding deep in the submerged forest, or turning into a bone mound in a corner.

"This is difficult"

Li Ming looked troubled.

By setting fire to the forest and adding the [Overlord] sense, it would be easy to attract the boss of the current territory, the Golden Lion.

The target of the Red Glory Meteor contract, the Velociraptor, is not even clear whether it is dead or alive.

"Brother, you are a lone hunter. Just try your luck on the outside. If it doesn't work, just give in. It's better than losing your life. Alas."

After the uncle finished his persuasion, he sighed helplessly.

"Uh, did a team encounter something unfortunate?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"Not yet, but about a week ago, a lone female hunter said she wanted to hunt a golden lion. She made simple preparations at the stronghold, and actually set off. There is no news yet. If you find out something about it... talk to her. Regarding the relevant traces, I hope to mark the sighting point and inform me when I return. Although the stronghold is unable to help her take revenge, it can still be done to bring her back and place her properly."

Hunting a golden lion alone?
Li Ming couldn't help but glance down at the corner of his mouth.

As for the relevant traces that the uncle mentioned, they were actually the other party’s body.

I just don't want to make a conclusion before death is confirmed.

"What star is that female hunter? Does she have a show contract?"

"I didn't see her wearing a hunter badge, and she didn't seem to be willing to communicate with other people. In terms of characteristics, the sword she carried on her back seemed to be a snowflake sword, and the armor looked very uniform in design. It should have been made by some kind of monster. It’s a suit, but I’ve never seen any hunter wearing it, I just remember it was embedded with a lot of black and gold hair.”

The uncle told him his impression of the female hunter.

The ice flower, snowman, sword, and ice attributes are very strong, and the attributes are obviously targeted.

The armor is embedded with a lot of black and gold hair. Is it a full set of gold lion armor?

If you can make that set of armor, it means you have successfully hunted before.

After Li Ming speculated, he felt that the other party might not be here to die.

But the idea of ​​hunting a golden lion alone seemed outrageous no matter how you thought about it.

"I'll try to keep an eye out."

"Thank you. The other party is a hunter. Even if you act a little recklessly, you can't let her die in the wilderness. You should be more careful yourself."

The uncle ordered.

Li Ming distributed some of the raw meat he hunted along the way to the wild stronghold, and then started making preparations.

The Thunder God type is indeed suitable for dealing with Velociraptors, but the purpose of this trip is not only hunting, but also the practice of [Dragon Flame Burning].

If you want to try to use it to the extreme, weapon and armor linkage is naturally indispensable.

And for Xunlong, the priority of fire attribute is only behind thunder.

So it was decided to use the fire attribute as the main excitation direction.

Wear a male fire dragon breastplate with double dragon jade embedded in it, a helmet and gauntlets, and choose a female fire dragon belt as your belt.

The leggings are Mudonglong leggings, which can ensure a certain speed of sinking into the mud when switching to mud-type fog balls.

Coupled with the soft river bed under the shoals of the forest, if you encounter a golden lion, it is not a problem to escape as quickly as possible.

"set off!"

Facing the moonlight, Li Ming led the two cat carts towards Shuiwu Forest.

At noon the next day, the camp was completed in a hollow giant tree covered by a large number of vines.

Velociraptors like to hunt at night, so Li Ming decided to take a rest first.

Eliminate travel fatigue and maintain good condition.

The accompanying cats replaced the team members and took turns on duty to explore the situation around the camp.

On the top of the giant tree, Midodo was crawling, holding a telescope and looking around, alert to the monsters that might approach and attack at any time.

oooo~
A rapid roar sounded.

Midoduo's eyes moved sideways, and he noticed a yellow persimmon flying towards him, and quickly jumped up to avoid it.

puff~
"Wow!"

The yellow persimmon hit the tree and exploded to pieces. The pulp and juice splashed around, making Midoduo almost lose his balance and fall.

"It's Tengumon Meow! A monster is coming!"

The cat observing on the other side suddenly blew the iron whistle on its neck strap with a puff of cheek.

Woohoo!Woohoo!
Tengumon did not restrain himself, but put its front paws into its abdominal bag, grabbed another yellow persimmon and threw it.

"Ugh meow!"

"Be careful meow!"

The cats were dodging and flying away.

Seeing this, Tengumon screamed even more happily.

Li Ming, who was lying on the bed in the camp, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the whistle.

"I just lay down for a while, and I feel so irritable."

Li Ming deeply felt the hardship of a lone hunter.

That is, in the wild where various conditions occur frequently, it is difficult for a person to have sufficient rest time.

Walking out of the tree hole camp, an ape-like monster with a brown horn on its head and green claws and wings appeared in the shallows below.

At this time, the curved tail standing in the river bed was supporting the body.

At the end of the tail, there is a three-toed claw tail that is providing support, and its shape looks very similar to that of Leapdogosaurus.

"Tengumon, a three-star monster."

While Li Ming was paying attention to the other party, the Tengu Beast also looked up at the same time, and then extended its front paws into its abdominal bag.

"You dare."

slap!

Before Li Ming could lift his warning finger, a yellow persimmon stuck to his face.

Aww.
Seeing that the opponent did not retreat due to the impact of the explosion, Tengumon growled and became confused.

"Haha, good job." Li Ming made a great gesture, not caring about the juice stained on his helmet.

Then he turned around and returned to the camp, picking up the Burning Flame Shield Ax and carrying it on his back.

Tengumon vaguely sensed something was wrong, but couldn't be sure for a while.

At this time, Li Ming jumped down from the tree hole and strode in.

"Poison type flying knife."

Thinking softly, the black and purple tentacles immediately loaded the fog ball.

Shua~ Shua~
Li Ming took out four flying knives from his shoulder strap, and then quickly licked his tongue on both sides of the blades.

A little thick purple juice dripped into the water, instantly causing circles of dark purple ripples.

"You like throwing things away, don't you? I'll give you another chance."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he held the hilt of a flying knife that had been quenched and swung it back to gain momentum.

Tengumon was obviously a little nervous, but after thinking for a moment, he didn't give up.

The front paws dug around in the abdominal pouch for a moment and took out a green persimmon.

After the green persimmon is exploded, a certain amount of paralyzing poison gas will be released.

Aim, throw.

One person and one beast took action almost simultaneously.

Puff~wow!

The green persimmon exploded into pieces, and the poison-quenching flying knife passed across it.

Seeing this, Tengu raised one of its claws and wings to cover it.

However, the wing membrane with green fuzz on the surface is still easily penetrated.

The blade pierced the chest, blood splattered out.

oooo~
With a whine, Tengumon sensed something was wrong, and its tail suddenly bent downwards, and its body jumped up with the help of force.

It spun around in mid-air, fell into the water with its four claws, and quickly ran away.

"Hey! Yeah! Ha!"

Li Ming chased while throwing knives.

Although the pressure was strong, since both sides were on the move, only one of the three flying knives thrown subsequently hit.

puff~
Under the violent exercise, purple poisonous blood gushed out from the chest wound where the flying knife penetrated.

The Tengu beast's attack did not stop, and its dexterous four-toed wing claws grasped the handle of the knife and pulled out the flying knife.

Relying on its familiarity with the terrain, the Tengu beast quickly distanced itself as it moved around in the waterless jungle.

Looking back at the direction he came from, Li Ming felt that he was far enough away from the camp.

Even if something strange happens here, it will not threaten the safety of the camp, let alone worry about it being set on fire.

"Fire King."

Li Ming called softly.

Explosive flames suddenly emerged from within the armor.

sizzle~
The persimmon pulp juice remaining on the helmet of the male fire dragon instantly evaporated into flames.

The original red and blue flame sword and shield turned orange under the scorching flames.

Under the influence of the violent flow of venom, Tengumon felt like it was running slower and slower.

But now is obviously not the time to look for antidote grass, so I can only rely on willpower to continue crawling forward.

Hu~hu~
Thick black smoke drifted from his side.

The strong burnt smell made Tengumon unable to help but turn his head and look back.

Flames flashed in his pupils.

The forest land in the water that can be maneuvered around is being burned by flames in large areas.

In the center of the fiercely burning flames, an unknown creature was rushing towards it.

Ouch!

The desperate Tengumon let out a warning roar, as if to remind its kind not to set foot here.

After a while, the Tengu beast's body was charred black, and all the fur on its body had been burned away.

Li Ming looked through the steam rising from the water and locked onto three fog balls among a pile of scattered and floating persimmons.

Two white and one green, a configuration I haven’t seen in a long time.

But since it is a monster that he has never hunted before, Li Ming will definitely carefully examine the selection.

【Tail Claw Support】★★

Introduction: Tengumon can provide strong support to its body with its tail claws to complete various actions.

The shield-axe slash is driven by the force of the body. If the tail claw is regarded as a hunting weapon, then the [tail claw support] is used in the opposite way, and it feels more useful for the insect stick.

Li Ming couldn't think of any good use of the shield, ax and pestle.

However, the Taijutsu type can understand fusion with proficiency, so it is definitely not a bad choice to choose the fog ball.

【Skill Throwing】★
Introduction: Tengumon's throwing attack method has fairly good accuracy.

Did you get it by throwing giant persimmons every day?
It feels like there may be more to it on a technical level than the Snow Lion's [Ape Arm Throw].

The biggest advantage is that the two can be combined.

It's a pity that there is no connection between the two monsters, otherwise it would be better if they could be fused.

After Li Ming finished his evaluation, he looked at the next white fog ball.

【Abdominal bag fermentation】★
Introduction: After Tengumon collects huge persimmons, it will be placed in its abdominal pouch for fermentation, which can give the persimmons various special effects.

Belly bag?Fermentation?
Li Ming looked down at himself and felt that the difficulty of achieving this on his own was comparable to Marutori's [laying eggs].

But it also provided him with an inspiration.

It would be a good choice to collect enough persimmon tree seeds here and return to the camp to let the cats try to plant them.

After all, when it comes to rainfall and humid environment, compared with Shuiwulin, the current area of ​​Feishen Community is not much different.

In this way, the Cat Plantation might be able to plant giant persimmon trees and restart again.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ming chose [Skill Throwing] and [Abdominal Bag Fermentation].

When they notice the flames burning through the forest, most monsters will basically choose to flee.

But that was not necessarily the case for the Golden Lion. Li Ming did not stay long, unloaded the fog ball and rushed towards the camp.

When Midoduo heard Li Ming's idea of ​​planting giant persimmon trees, he immediately expressed his desire to try it.

After all, the plantation had given the camp a great help in growing crops in the past.

After it was forced to be abandoned due to climate factors, related expenses surged several times.

Li Ming, who smelled of a strong burnt smell, lay down on the bed again.

Before going to bed, he felt that he should fuse Tengumon's fog ball first.

It's not that I'm afraid of any threats, but if I can see Xunlong's intelligence, it might be able to help with the next deployment.

Whoosh~ whoosh~
The four-toed wing claws flexibly grasp the persimmon and stuff it into the abdominal bag.

one, two
Li Ming, who was in the process of recalling his memories, took a breath and suddenly felt tired.

Is it because the high-level fog ball has too much empathy?This ball has no feeling at all.

The sun and moon rotate, and Tengumon's daily routine consists of bullying and teasing weak monsters, followed by endless picking of persimmons.

One night, the flow of time suddenly slowed down.

"Uh-huh! Hey!"

A woman's shout as she exerted her strength suddenly made Li Ming energetic.

Under the moonlight, shallow water.

Facing the golden lion that was attacking at high speed with its fists on the ground.

A female hunter wearing a golden lion armor was waving the Ice Snow Mermaid Sword behind her to accumulate power.
