I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 218 The Kingdom of Fire

Li Ming returned to the camp and informed the contract, and the team immediately started preparations.

After your visit, it is also important to gather intelligence on the ground.

The three of them also launched an investigation into the current situation in the Country of Fire.

This is a small country built around a volcano, with a unique culture that believes in the "Elf of Fire."

The country suffered heavy losses due to Yan Gelong's attack.

Monsters such as armored dragons, male fire dragons, and blaster dragons have always put residents in a high-risk environment.

The reason why there is no guild branch is said to be mainly because the local environment is difficult and dangerous, and support and communication are very difficult.

However, there are also self-established hunter organizations in the local area to carry out hunting activities.

In addition, as the most popular rock protection excavation site, many hunters venture to the Fire Country every year to use it as a base to carry out excavation operations.

At the round table, Chu Ying looked at the intelligence with worry on her face: "Judging from this, the Fire Country's defense capability is not very strong, and it is threatened by monsters such as the Prison Wolf Dragon. Now that there are sighting reports of Kirin, it feels like a huge crisis has escalated. It’s become a huge crisis.”

"The hunter team that went to dig up the stone guard should be able to help solve some of the crises, but if they encounter Qilin, there probably won't be any good solutions."

Ni Shuang speculated.

"Looking at it this way, we must also take precautions against Qilin."

Chuying gave her suggestion.

"Yes, you must take precautions against any monsters you may encounter."

Li Ming agreed.

The Kirin, Hell Wolf Dragon, and Broken Dragon that you may encounter on this trip have their attribute weaknesses: fire, thunder, and ice respectively.

Multiple sets of equipment and ammunition transportation are a big test for the Cat Transport Team. The team decided to dispatch three Cat Trucks.

After testing, Chongdi was able to tow it into the air, but it was unable to sustain it for a long time.

Li Ming decided to be more cautious and go by land.

The reason is that there are accidental falls in other areas.

It would be too dangerous for the cat car to crash into a volcano.

After three days of preparation, the team set off on the road amid a farewell of cats.

Leaving the area of ​​the Wasted God Community, [Ji Shizhu] can drive away monsters and reduce many unnecessary battles.

The truck had a smooth journey and entered the volcanic area in less than seven days.

Piles of gray dust here cover the sky.

The huge terrain difference and the obstruction of the lava flow make it very difficult for trucks to travel.

There happened to be another team of hunters rushing there on foot. The other party said that they were quite familiar with the road and could guide them forward.

The team of trucks went with them.

Three days later, a walled city located in a dark red mountain appeared in front of everyone.

Several hunters wearing red-armored beast armor were stationed on the city wall embedded in the mountain.

Carts loaded with ore fragments were frequently coming in and out of the city gate.

Hu~hu~
Several suspended illuminated braziers were set alight.

The guided hunter team was familiar with the journey and explained that this was the Fire Nation's welcome to the visiting hunter team.

Walking into the city, the compact and scattered building layout surrounding the mountain gave Li Ming the feeling of returning to the stronghold of the sandstone caves.

The difference is that even the collectors and residents here will use weapons and armor made by some monsters to some extent, and it feels like everyone is a soldier.

Although most of them are dominated by lava beasts and red velociraptors, which seem a bit monotonous, there is no obvious difference between the creation level and the guild calibration level.

Went to the Chamber of Commerce in the city and stored the rice, brala and trucks.

The team went to the Firearms Station, an agency that handles hunting-related matters.

After entering the hall and looking around, Li Ming realized that this place was basically the same as an ordinary guild branch.

If you have to look for something different, having a muscular man as the receptionist is a rather unique place.

"Hello, our team has received this contract, can you provide intelligence support?"

"Let me see."

The strong man took it, unfolded the contract and looked at it for a moment, his eyes becoming more solemn.

"Please wait."

The strong man reached out to the free round table on the side, then walked out of the counter with the contract and went up the stairs to the side.

Not long after, a hunter wearing a full set of men's red armor walked down.

"Hello everyone, I am the leader of the Fire Armed Forces, and my name is Bai Yan."

After the ruthless team introduced themselves, Bai Yan was a little surprised by the team's identity.

Then the two parties sat at the round table and began to discuss hunting-related matters.

"Additional hunt for Broken Dragon?"

Chu Ying was a little in disbelief when she heard Bai Yan's request.

There is no contract that would add a hunting target midway, let alone the target is Broken Dragon.

"I'm sorry, if it wasn't the ruthless team that came here, I probably wouldn't have made this suggestion, but for now, you are probably the only one who can help the Fire Nation."

Bai Yan sighed helplessly.

"Is it because there are too many monsters living in the volcanic area and they have begun to expand their territory?"

Li Ming speculated.

The team discussed this issue before rushing there.

The current problem in the Fire Country is that people are vulnerable to danger when they go out to gather and hunt.

There is also a huge hidden danger, which is the expansion of the territory caused by too many monsters in the area.

"Yes, since Qilin appeared, monster activities have become more and more invisible. They even appear occasionally around the capital. If this continues, I am afraid that once the opponent touches it one day, it will cause a huge crisis, and this picture The contract itself actually has two goals. It was announced when the king was still alive. Later, after discussion by the Fire Armed Team, they felt that no team could complete it, so they split it and submitted it to the guild. Unexpectedly, even so, no team was willing. Try to pick up.”

Bai Yan gave confirmation.

If you take it apart well, you can beat people to the point of vomiting blood in this contract game, but who would dare to try it in reality.

"Can you tell me the origin of these monsters?"

Li Ming asked.

"The Kingdom of Fire is extremely good at hunting red-armored beasts, and the red velociraptor group cannot pose a threat. In addition, the country's capital is located in the outer area of ​​​​the volcano. At first, only the armored dragon and the blaster dragon could cause some trouble to us. As for the more difficult ones, The monsters can also be dealt with by entrusting the guild to deal with them, until a Yan Ge dragon appeared in the old city of the capital by burrowing through the ground."

Bai Yan lowered his head as he spoke. It was obvious that he couldn't bear to look back on that experience.

"The city could not withstand the attack of Yan Gelong, and at the same time, a large amount of underground magma overflowed. The Country of Fire suffered huge losses as a result."

Being able to drill holes in volcanic terrain is indeed the bane of the city-state.

If you drill a hole casually, lava will overflow. Li Ming can imagine the scene at that time.

"Then we fled and relocated. We also entrusted the guild to issue an emergency contract. Unfortunately, the subsequent hunting did not go smoothly. Instead, the visiting Dragon Broken Dragon repelled the Yan Ge Dragon, but soon it became a new one. The source of danger, fortunately, the other party has no interest in the capital. Lu Xing launched a frontal attack, and we were able to resist it. The Country of Fire was stable for a period of time, and was rebuilt in the current mountain. But not long after, the Prison Wolf Dragon appeared After getting pregnant, the two dragons started fighting for territory for a period of time. After both sides established their territory, the ecological deterioration finally stopped. You should also know what happened next."

"What an unfortunate encounter."

Li Ming did not expect that the experience of the Fire Country would be so tortuous.

"In fact, the scope of gathering and hunting is gradually shrinking, which is acceptable. However, it is conceivable that the country's capital may suffer the same damage as now at any time."

Bai Yan clenched his fists.

"Sigh~ It's a pity that our strength is too weak. The Hunter Guild has been too busy taking care of itself in recent years. I heard that even the branch in Bokai Village has been cancelled."

"I feel like time is a little tight." Li Ming held his chin and muttered in thought.

"Are there other potential threats?"

Bai Yan asked warily.

"Yes, judging from the current ecological situation, if a golden lion arrives in pursuit of the unicorn, there is a risk that the situation will get completely out of control."

Li Ming expressed his concerns.

Broken Dragon, Prison Wolf Dragon is a threat in itself.

But at any rate, the two completed the territory planning through turf competition.

It was the arrival of Qilin that disrupted everything.

If another golden lion comes, Qilin will also fall into instability.

The chain reaction triggered by that time will definitely make the volcanic area uneasy.

"What do you think?"

Li Ming looked at his two teammates.

"Anyway, I have all the equipment, so I think I can give it a try."

Ni Shuang stretched out his arms and showed no fear.

"I'm a little scared of Broken Dragon. But this is also a good opportunity to break through myself."

Chuying clenched her fist and said.

"Okay, we've accepted the contract. As for the guild's goal change, I'll leave it to you."

"Thank you to the ruthless team! I will collect all the information needed for hunting and send it to you right away."

Bai Yan stood up and thanked him. Without taking two steps, he turned around and issued a solemn reminder: "I know that the team has rich experience in fighting ancient dragons, but when encountering Qilin, please be careful to avoid it. The ecological environment of the volcano is too complicated. It will be very dangerous to start a battle rashly." Danger."

"Well, we will."

Li Ming promised.

Not long after, the latest version of the map with the monster territory division, as well as some books with witness information, were sent over by Bai Yan.

At the same time, multiple plates of fire-resistant cat rice made with lava beasts and lava dragons as ingredients were served on the round table.

Li Ming opened Qilin's witness report while eating.

According to the description of the brave collector, Qilin is the most fantastic monster he has ever seen.

It's so dreamy that it seems like it doesn't really exist in the world.

Seeing that the horn that could trigger thunder was still there, Li Ming closed the witness report with peace of mind.

As for the Hell Wolf Dragon, there is no tendency to become extreme or weird, and the Broken Dragon does not have the individual characteristics of the Violent Broken Dragon.

Who should I talk to first?

As for Qilin, the increase in fire attribute is already quite strong.

In this way, after [Fighting Energy Transformation] is fully activated, the power and thunder element will be further improved.

If the hunt is successful, coupled with the thunder-type amplifying fog ball that will inevitably explode, the Prison Wolf Dragon has no chance of winning.

If the other party can communicate, is willing to teach the dragon-eating insect energy injection method, and is willing to change its habitat, it seems that it is not impossible not to hunt it.

It's a pity that the Prison Wolf Dragon is weak in thunder and is unlikely to have any favorable impression of the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

As for Broken Dragon, my ice attribute is obviously not powerful enough compared to other triggers.

You can use the Snow Ghost Beast Kacha and try it with the full-power fog ball.

After leaving the Fire Force Armed Forces station, the team headed to the Chamber of Commerce, where they began to change armor equipment and obtain supplies in front of the truck.

When he went out, a variety of flammable materials were thrown into the altar on the top of the huge stone niche in the city, and a raging fire burst into flames.

woooo~woooo~
Many cats lined up on both sides, blowing low, long-handled horns.

bang bang~ bang bang~
Several strong men picked up drumsticks and beat them in a short and rapid rhythm.

Baiyan, who was wearing a red-armored beast suit, danced the "Fire Spirit" sacrificial dance while walking down the stairs.

"What are you doing, meow?"

Mido was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"It should be the blessing dance of the Fire Nation, specially prepared for the team to go on an expedition."

Li Ming speculated.

"What a grand scene, meow, it makes me want to dance too."

Midoduo looked fascinated.

"Wait until you return from a successful hunt before jumping."

When Li Ming thought about the golden lion arriving, he always felt that time was extremely tight.

The team and the three cat cars set off on the road with the blessings of the Fire Nation.

The road section in the first two days was very smooth because it matched the rock guard excavation path and there were a lot of guidance marks on the map.

Then, when turning to an area where monsters frequently appeared, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Fortunately, the team has extensive experience in traveling in the wild and can handle it even if it faces harsh environments.

Two days later, the sky was obscured by thick smoke and dust, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night.

Instead, the magma flow overflowed from the surface, illuminating a large area.

The team was also very relieved to see that the wild collection camp marked on the map was still there.

After settling in, Li Ming, who was out hunting, came to the highest point of the nearby black mountain, flicked his long hair, and began to spread the wild dragon dust.

The armored dragon soaked in magma, the outline of the lava dragon, was quickly captured by the dust and revealed.

The other party seemed to notice something and began to try to stay away.

Although the terrain has a large difference, there are still many underground caves, and dust is not easy to spread here.

Li Ming unfolded the map and found the huge marked pit, and continued to spread dust at the entrance to the cave roof.

The in-depth spread of information quickly produced results.

A silhouetted monster with a horn on its head, captured by perception.

However, this monster only has two hind paws touching the ground, and its single horn is not pointed like a unicorn, but cylindrical like the head of an airplane.

It turned out to be Broken Dragon.
Just when Li Minggang wanted to change the sensing target, there was an explosion.

As the dust stirred and flew, the outline became scattered. When it returned to stability, three mini-shattering dragons were also sensed.

Two fell to the ground, dying.

One is leaning on the rock wall of the vein, still struggling to support itself.

Li Ming saw that this was Dragon Broken's explosive test against the cubs.

Only the cubs that can endure to the end and successfully absorb minerals and fuse them into an obsidian explosion-proof carapace can finally pass and have a chance to survive.

It's a bit cruel, little Broken Dragons, please reincarnate as other monsters in your next life.

In fact, if the explosive power of slime mold is gradually increased appropriately, the survival rate of Broken Dragon pups should be greatly improved.

It's a pity that Broken Dragon is a monster after all, and may never realize that this harsh trial method needs to be improved.

But that's fine, otherwise once it spreads, humans and other monsters will be the unlucky ones.

Boom~
As the dust stirred, another explosion exploded on the little Broken Dragons.
