I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 22 Hello, Huang Sulong King

The team boarded the sand boat and headed towards the outer area of ​​​​the sand plain.

With the experience summary from last time, Li Ming and Chu Ying had already started planning the hunting route on the road.

Although the map provided by the guild cannot be 100% accurate, it should be updated in a timely manner.

As long as you use it as a reference, you can avoid most monster territories.

After confirming the rough route, Chuying leaned against the bulwark of the sand boat, opened a teaching book, and read it carefully.

Not long after, her eyes suddenly froze.

"Li Ming, there seems to be a problem with our trap preparation."

Chuying said nervously.

"what is the problem?"

Li Ming leaned closer and asked.

"This guidebook for trap layout was specially purchased when I was buying trap materials. According to the above description, the probability of the trap being correctly triggered by Huang Sulong King is very low."

Chuying informed.

"Is there any detailed reason mentioned above?"

Li Ming asked.

"Yes. Cave traps are made by suddenly falling into the pit, and then retracting the super-tough vine net to wrap around the monster's claws to restrain the movement. Monsters that are huge or strong enough may use brute force to fall in. Escape in a very short time, or due to the size limit of the trap, it is impossible to achieve restraint at all. Small and flexible monsters have a high probability of escaping before the vine net retracts. Medium-sized and bulky monsters are the best targets. "

"This book is quite comprehensive. Please show it to me after you finish it."

Li Ming praised.

"I bought it for 20z. It must be comprehensive. No! That's not the point. The point is that the trap is difficult to be effective. The Yellow Speed ​​Dragon King also has fighting experience with the hunter team, so it will definitely not be lacking in experience."

Chuying quickly corrected her.

"The trap I want to dig is not unusual. This is not an accidental encounter we are unprepared for. The initiative lies with the team. I believe we can defeat it."

Li Ming informed.

"Okay, let's work together."

At dusk, the team got off the sand boat.

This is an area inferred based on the migration progress of the Huang Velociraptor group.

The team rushed directly to the predetermined location and established a camp.

After settling in, Li Ming and Mido Duo went to dig a hole that evening.

Chuying and Bubu went to the nearby carapace-eating herbivorous dragon nest to hunt.

Late at night, Li Ming, who was covered in dirt, and Chu Ying, who was covered in blood, met below the camp. The two looked at each other and smiled.

Early the next morning, after eating and drinking, the two of them carried rattan nets and traps on their backs and headed to the designated area to continue laying traps.

Bubu came to the edge of the trap with flying soil. After watching for a while, he said doubtfully: "Um, is this trap a little too big?"

"It's okay. If physical strength, time, and soil quality allow, I would like to dig a little bigger."

Li Ming, who was shoveling the soil quickly, responded.

"I understand, meow! You want to stretch the vine net to the limit, so that when the mechanism is triggered, it will rebound more quickly and restrain Huang Sulong King's claws."

Bubu tells the speculation.

"That won't work. As long as King Huang Sulong has a chance to kick off, he can easily avoid the vine net."

Li Ming denied it.

"You guessed it wrong, meow, so how does this trap limit it?"

Bubu asked curiously.

"silt."

Li Ming said two words.

"Silt, mud, meow?"

After Bubu finished speaking in disbelief, he looked back at the swamp adjacent to the trap, as if he understood the other party's plan.

At noon, under the repeated blows of Li Ming's axe, the soil on the inner wall of the trap began to disintegrate.

goooo~
A few gray mud bubbles first emerged from the broken cracks, and then water began to seep out.

puff~
Splashes of mud began to pour in.

Li Ming lifted Midoduo with one hand and threw it towards the top of the trap.

"Li Ming, do you want to come up first?"

Chuying beside the trap said worriedly.

"Don't worry, I just took this opportunity to form a silt armor."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he picked up a ball from the mud that was submerged up to his ankles and observed it carefully.

"The mud poured in is a bit dry. We need to start the plan as soon as possible."

After applying it evenly, Li Ming left the mud pool with a [big jump] and climbed over the inner wall back to the surface.

Place the trap mechanism in the center of the rattan net. Two people and two cats each grab a corner, spread it out, and cover it over the trap to fix it.

“So strong elasticity”

Li Ming tried to press down on the taut rattan net. The surface elasticity was like a trampoline in an amusement park.

The velociraptor family is known as "Tiaotiao".

Let "jumping" meet "trampoline", no wonder the instruction manual does not recommend using pit traps for it.

Li Ming felt that the contents in the trap layout instruction manual were very reliable.

wow~
Dead leaves scattered.

Huhu~
Mud was constantly being splashed.

The surface of the trap was quickly covered.

"Don't get excited when you hear my cry, especially you, Midoduo."

Li Ming ordered.

"Don't worry, meow, no matter how miserable you scream, I will be indifferent this time."

Midoduo assured.

"Very good, Chuying. Once Dragon King Huang Su is hit, the binding effect will be stronger than the ordinary trap. You can try to hit the vital part of the head hard. If it fails, bring him with you as soon as possible. Take Bubu and Midodo and run away, I will catch up with you soon."

"No problem, you have to be more careful."

"Okay, everyone, get in your positions and the battle begins!"

Watching one person and two cats go away to wait for orders, Li Ming tapped the mud armor on his wrist with his knuckles.

After confirming that it has hardened, take out [Call-Huang Su Long King] and stuff it into the body to switch skills.

"I'm dying!!! Help!!!"

The penetrating cry for help resounded throughout the surrounding area.

This seems to be completely the same as [Call-Huang Speed ​​Dragon] when released.

While thinking, Li Ming lay down on the shore of the mire.

Not long after, two figures appeared on the sand dunes at the far end.

Li Ming, who was lying down, raised his neck slightly and looked expectantly.

But the result disappointed him greatly. The authentic version of [Call-Huang Speed ​​Dragon King] did not summon the Huang Speed ​​Dragon King, but called two dull Huang Speed ​​dragons.

However, he remained patient and continued to pretend to be seriously injured, wailing from time to time.

"Uh-huh. It hurts."

The two yellow velociraptors slowly probed in out of curiosity.

thump~
A paw accidentally stepped on the trap vine net.

The super rebounding touch made him immediately turn his head and start stepping and jumping on it.

The other head turned sideways to watch, obviously also interested.

Even if the triggering strength of the trap is adjusted to the lowest level, Huang Sulong cannot trigger it.

But Li Ming couldn't afford it in terms of time, so he could only increase his efforts.

"It hurts so much! Bah!"

The two yellow velociraptors diverted their attention again and returned to the right path.

bass!Phew~
"Let you play on the trampoline!" The energy-charged sword buried in the sand appeared. Li Ming roared and stabbed Huang Sulong's chest with the sword.

"Why doesn't King Huang Sulong come?"

The charged sword was drawn out, and the shield blade collided with the incoming sharp claws.

Wow!Sparks fly.

One person and one dragon retreated backwards.

"The mud pool is going dry!"

Just bang!Li Ming assembled the energy-charged sword and shield, and in one move, he transformed into a slash, and the huge ax blade slashed forward.

Huang Velociraptor kicked his legs and took off, trying to attack with a spin and a flick of his tail. He was hit on the lower back by an axe, and immediately turned over and fell to the ground.

"Li Ming is shouting to Huang Sulong, can they understand?"

In the distance, Bubu, who was ambushing, asked curiously.

"I can't understand what Li Ming is shouting, and it's even more impossible for Huang Sulong."

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

The other yellow velociraptor, since the ambush began, retreated a certain distance and kept cheering with roars.

Now that he saw his companions defeated, he even stopped cheering, and while roaring eagerly, he turned around and ran away.

Li Ming was about to kill Huang Sulong, who was lying sideways on the ground, with an axe, but when he heard the opponent's dying cry, he immediately changed his mind.

Ow!Ow!Ow!
"I'm dying!!! Help!!!"

The wailing sounds of one person and one dragon overlapped together.

puff~
Somewhere on the outskirts of the sand plain, the Yellow Speed ​​Dragon King retracted his neck and pulled his head away from the abdomen of the Carapaceous Herbivorous Dragon.

Raise your head to the sky and assume a listening posture.

Thick blood dripped from the gaps between the fangs, glistening under the scorching sun.

Ouch!
After howling, Huang Velociraptor, whose neck was stretched forward, narrowed his eyes, pointed in one direction and stepped forward to attack.

The Huang Velociraptor, which was seriously injured and fell to the ground, didn't last long before it burped.

Three white fog balls exploded: [Naughty], [Flick], and [Calling-Huang Speed ​​Dragon King].

Li Ming saw the skill and further confirmed his speculation, but he was not sure yet whether Dragon King Huang Su would come back.

To be on the safe side, he came to the trap, swept away the soil and dead leaves on the surface, and checked the hardening of the mud pool.

The degree of hardening is acceptable, but if Huang Sulong King never comes, it will only be a matter of time before the distance is completely lost.

"How about bringing some water from the swamp."

Just as Li Ming was thinking about countermeasures, a focused bright light suddenly swayed back and forth beside him.

Li Ming turned to look around and found that Mi Duoduo in the distance was holding a mirror and swinging it, as if giving some kind of reminder.

At this time, the long oblique shadow cast from the top of the back dune penetrated Li Ming.

Seeing the V-shaped slit on Shadow's head, Li Ming immediately realized that the Huang Sulong King he had been waiting for was finally here.

Boom!Rang!

Li Ming turned around and drew out his shield and charged sword.

Stand in place with your shield in front of you.

Ow!Ow!
Huang Sulong King did not show any fear, he raised his head and roared twice, kicked off his legs and jumped directly down the sand dune.

"Li Ming, you have to hold on, meow!"

Midoduo clenched his paws tightly and was very nervous.

Puff~puff~puff.
While running all the way, Li Ming, who was holding the shield, kept adjusting the direction of his feet to ensure that Huang Sulong King was directly in front of him.

Regarding the hunter in front of him, Huang Sulong King was not so cautious.

He didn't wait for his companions to arrive, didn't go around and watch, and just charged straight into the fight.

Do you look down on me so much?
No, I can't rush in. Falling into a trap is my trump card.

Li Ming, who was a little unhappy, calmed down and stopped the urge to attack.

Hey!
Huang Sulong King bent his neck, moved forward, and opened his mouth.

The two fangs at the front of the upper jaw secrete a large amount of dark yellow venom.

Bang!
There was a muffled crash.

hiss~his~
The venom splashed from his mouth and fell on the soil, splashing golden light spots.

Li Ming slid back a certain distance and successfully resisted the attack.

The collision force of this limb is a bit strong, and I don't know how Wood withstood the several blows he received from the ceratopsian.

As soon as they fought, Li Ming noticed the huge power gap between Huang Sulong and Huang Sulong King.

After holding the sharp front paw twice, dark yellow venom began to secrete from the tip of the claw.

"Midodo! Be ready to hit me at any time!"

When Li Ming saw this, he immediately prepared for the worst.

"Already in place, meow!"

Midoduo came running and stood behind Li Ming.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
Scratching, tail flicking, sideways thrusting, biting.
Li Ming kept moving backward while raising his shield to block.

It was very difficult to block the attack every time, but the experience gained was also huge.

He has been able to gradually reduce the distance he moves back by pressing down with his feet when attacked.

By observing the movements of monsters, one can predict attack moves and the timing of attacks, gradually changing from deliberate attention to subconscious reactions.

As long as the shield is there, I'm safe and it protects me.
A sense of security arises from within.

Huh~huh.
When Li Ming raised the shield again and prepared to adjust his breathing to meet the attack, he suddenly realized that his breath was not enough.

It's like trying to breathe during a long run, but you can't feel the breath flowing into your body.

Bang!
The swinging tail slapped the shield.

The shield deflected inwards, and Li Ming staggered and moved backwards, eventually falling on his back.

This yellow speed dragon king seems to be very experienced in dealing with hunters.

He jumped up directly, trying to suppress it with his two claws and take the opportunity to finish Li Ming.

The right fist that touched the ground first felt the elastic vine net below.

Li Ming threw the charged sword directly, held his left forearm with his right hand, formed a support, and pushed the shield upward.

when!Wow~
The pedaling of one foot was blocked by the shield, while the other claw crushed the mud armor on the leg.

Seeing Huang Velociraptor's neck reaching down, he wanted to bite himself hard.

Li Ming freed up his right hand and quickly turned the sand dragon carapace on his head.

His eyes went dark and at the same time, the arc-shaped carapace completely protected his face.

Then he grabbed a white fog ball and stuffed it into his chest.

"Young dragon headbutt!"

Li Ming's head jerked forward.

The heads of one person and one dragon hit each other.

when!Pooh!

Hey!
Huang Sulong King's nostrils were filled with venom, and he threw back his neck while wailing.

click~
Whoosh!Under continuous heavy pressure, the trap mechanism was triggered, and the vine net quickly drew back towards the center.

Although Huang Sulong King was attacked, his claws noticed something strange and immediately jumped up on the spot.

According to past experience, as long as one avoids the entanglement of the claws by the retracting vine net, even if one falls into a trap, one can easily jump out.

Puff~Puff~
Huang Sulong King immediately noticed that the touch of his feet was not right when they landed on the ground, but it was too late.

Li Ming, who also entered the mud pool, did not land on his feet, but fell on his back, looking very embarrassed.

But after he got up, his face was full of confidence.

"Hello, Huang Sulong King."

Li Ming sent out greetings.
