I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 285 Black Revelation

At night, outside the snow mountain area.

Since there were no monsters to intercept and intrude along the way, the Courage arrived much earlier than expected.

The height of the airship gradually lowered, and the cats wore cotton coats to keep out the cold.

In the endless white snow, a shining orange vein hangs down from the top of the distant mountain peak.

Dewen, who was behind the bulwark, observed with a telescope for a moment and unfolded the map to view.

"It turns out that the earth veins have overflowed, and the downward flowing area is not far from the Black Giant Sword Research Institute."

"In fact, this kind of competition within a fixed area has actually reduced the harm they can cause. It's a pity that the only human stronghold is within it."

Li Ming sighed.

"There is no way. The research institute is set up around the black giant sword. It can only be said to be bad luck."

Dewen looked a little helpless.

"Thank you very much."

Bend your knees slightly and stand straight.

Li Ming understood immediately.

Wide ditches and unnatural mountain cavities continue to emerge.

As we continue to go deeper, the signs of monster activity suddenly decrease.

Pa~pa~

In the stone fireplace, a fire is burning.

"The ruthless team is here to support meow!"

When he saw the ruthless team approaching, Elu stopped hiding and stood up suddenly.

Poof~bang!

Li Ming fell into the snow up to his waist.

After confirming that everyone is present, we set off towards the snow fort in the distance.

"Thank you, I probably don't need it either."

At the same time as Dewen introduced, the cats loaded the parachutes onto the cat cart and cargo box.

Dewen in the wheelchair sighed.

So he jumped up happily and waved the cat's paw vigorously.

"Judging from the information that the Hunter Guild is willing to share, there is not much progress, but as long as the dispute between the two parties has not started, there is still value in continuing research."

"It's good to be young. When my legs were healthy, I wouldn't dare to play like this."

"You arrived just in time. You were already planning to give up."

"No need, just jump from this height. Mido, hold on tight to me."

Among them are hunters stationed here, as well as scholars responsible for research and experiments, and cats responsible for chores.

On the curved roof of the snow castle, a white Ellu in a cotton coat was lying down, observing the surroundings.

After Li Ming finished speaking, he stepped on the bulwark and jumped out.

Human beings currently neither want to actively observe taboo trends, nor do they want to have no way to obtain any information before the war comes.

Then they began to respond to the cats descending with parachutes.

Midodo, who was at the bow of the boat, shouted in surprise.

The dancing orange light illuminates the people sitting around the round table.

"Senior Dewen, has the research on the Black Giant Sword produced any results?"

"Li Ming. Ni Shuangduoduo meow!"

The overflowing earth veins could not flow there, but instead flowed to the field research institute.

A crew cat, handed over the rappel rope.

Under the excited shouts, a sound of bolts pulling was heard in the snow fort.

These are the traces left after the battle between the two dragons of Bengba.

Ni Shuang, wearing a knight's silver dragon armor and carrying an engraved silver flute on his back, supported the bulwark with one hand and jumped down from the hurdle.

Along with the airship, Bobo, White Velociraptor, Snow Lion, Snow Rabbit Beast

A large number of monsters were observed and witnessed, but it was a pity that Bokai Village, the starting point of the hunters, no longer existed.

Crew member Maomao was stunned for a moment and looked at Ni Shuang.

"The airship cannot land in the surrounding area. The next step is up to you. If you need assistance, just release the flare. If the airship's high-altitude standby observation information is not particularly urgent, it will probably be dropped by Maomao once a day in the early morning. Pass on, if dangerous conditions are observed, we will also use flares to warn, in short, be careful."

"Uh, do you need it?"

"The lights in the lab are still on, meow!"

An in-depth study of the Black Giant Sword is naturally a good compromise.

Bubu rubbed his eyes vigorously with his cat paws, finally confirming that this was not an illusion.

creak~

The heavy door opened, and several figures poured out.

"Please hold on tight, meow."

Pu Yan, who was once the president of Bokai Village and is now stationed at the research institute, said with a thankful face.

"Abandoning means the institute?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"Yes, nothing is more important than everyone's safety. I was planning to have a small team escort everyone to evacuate tomorrow. Everything that needs to be brought has been packed in the truck."

Pu Yan said helplessly.

"The ruthless team?"

"Uh, the name of the temporary team I formed."

After Chuying confirmed, she looked at the members beside her.

"This is a good name."

Li Ming nodded in praise.

"In my opinion, let's continue to evacuate."

An old draconian scholar spoke.

"Okay."

Pu Yan was about to speak but stopped.

Seeing the other party's unwillingness, Li Ming roughly guessed why it was so difficult.

Assisting personnel to evacuate, or even repelling the Tyrannosaurus and Collapse Dragon, is not difficult for the ruthless team with its members together.

What's more, there are three five-star hunters who can assist in the battle.

The problem is that according to the current situation, it is impossible for the ruthless team to be stationed in the research institute for a long time.

Once you leave, sooner or later you won't be able to keep this place, so it's better to give up as soon as possible.

Zuda, the president of the headquarters, seems to have already understood this, so he issued a support contract with vague goals.

As for the specific extent of support, it is obvious that he wants the ruthless team to make their own judgment after visiting.

After all, as a snow mountain area that has been completely abandoned, the guild's focus is obviously not here.

If there are casualties, it will definitely be a heavy loss.

"How is the research progress on the Black Giant Sword?"

Li Ming did not express his position in a hurry and turned to ask another question.

The scholars looked at each other, their expressions becoming solemn for a moment.

"If the first seven-star hunter can't get the latest progress information, then what's the point of stationing here for research."

The elderly dragon scholar finished speaking straightforwardly and gave a straightforward summary of the results.

"The growth rate of the Black Giant Sword has become faster and faster after the New World's earth veins are connected, and its activity and external energy are gradually increasing. According to the extreme characteristics of not blending with any materials, this is obviously not caused by energy injection." It's the stimulation caused by rejection, which is more reasonable, but because similar information can easily cause panic, the guild does not intend to announce it to the outside world."

Dang rang~ rang~

The faint sound of chains shaking came from where the black giant sword was below.

The snow fort suddenly fell silent with a tacit understanding.

"It's understandable, after all, the situation has just turned around. Does this mean that the black giant sword may have some kind of early warning feature?"

Li Ming speculated.

"We can't confirm this yet, but I agree with your statement. If the Black Giant Sword really undergoes drastic changes, it may be a sign of the coming disaster."

"That means the existence of the Black Giant Sword Research Institute is actually very necessary."

"But it's too difficult to maintain it."

Pu Yan reminded.

"Then hunt them. Then all worries will be gone. Maybe the former Bokai Village can be rebuilt."

As soon as Li Ming said this, the scene became quiet again.

Others may not feel it deeply, but Pu Yan and several stationed hunters are all from Bokai Village.

In their eyes, the Benglong Tyrant Dragon is regarded as a god-like existence.

"In order to hunt the Thunder Dragon, the weapons and ammunition I carry are all thunder-type, so I may not be able to provide strong assistance."

Chuying broke the silence.

"Your cargo box has been delivered by airship and transported to the research institute by cat car. If there is still insufficient ammunition and blending materials, the airship can also provide airdrop support."

Li Ming responded.

"Great."

Chuying put aside her worries and looked eager to try.

"Sigh~ Is it really worth the risk for an abandoned area?"

The old dragon man sighed.

"Industries in many villages and towns are recovering, and everyone needs the ore supply here. In addition, if there is no Bokai Village, it always feels like there is something missing here." "Rebuilding Bokai Village"

Pu Yan muttered, with longing in his eyes.

For him, this kind of thing is something he wouldn't even dare to hope for in a dream.

"Okay! Is there anything we can do to help?"

Pu Yan stood up as he spoke, and the stationed hunters and cats also stood up, looking very excited.

"I want to check the intelligence first, then observe the two dragons, and then start hunting."

"no problem."

After Pu Yan finished speaking, he led the people into action.

Scholars are also happy to be able to continue their research.

Late at night, Li Ming was reading information in the lobby of the snow castle. He stood up and stretched his waist.

Dang rang~ rang~

The sound of chains shaking echoed again.

The candle suddenly went out.

"It's so eerie."

Li Ming's body couldn't help but tremble.

Dang rang~ rang!

The sound of chains shaking intensified.

Shouldn't the signs appear now?

It's late at night and I'm a little scared to explore by myself.

Li Ming looked at the table, held up the sleeping Mido Duo to strengthen his courage, and then opened the iron door leading below.

A spiral staircase made of ice crystals is revealed.

Descending to the bottom, the black giant sword stood tall and straight in the frozen soil.

The thick black iron chain fixed to the hilt of the sword and extending down to the surrounding ice was the source of the sound.

There are multiple strip tables placed in the peripheral area of ​​the sword body.

There are various facilities used for research, as well as black blocks of various sizes.

Several mining picks made of ancient dragon bones stand on one side under the table.

"The surface of the sword is darker, and there are even diamond-shaped patterns like scales."

Li Ming observed carefully for a moment and found that the black giant sword had indeed changed a lot.

What's even more terrifying is that these materials have already left the body for an unknown number of years.

The clouds covering the moon drifted by, and the silver moonlight filtered in from the window above.

Only then did Li Ming realize that his position was shrouded in the shadow of the sword.

Phew~

At the crack in the sword body, a mass of black substance quickly surged out, filling and smoothing the slender crack.

Flawless wing claws, skeletal dragon heads, and foggy rodents were particularly vigilant at this time.

puff~

The smoothed area suddenly cracked, revealing a single purple eye.

Staring at Li Ming for a moment, the sharp look in his eyes made him feel a little dazed for a moment.

Li Ming took a deep breath, and after stabilizing his emotions, he tentatively started to communicate: "Hello, when you have a confrontation, please try not to affect humans. Everything can be discussed."

After all, even if the other party can't hear, you have nothing to lose.

Dang rang~ rang~

After waiting for a long time, the one purple eye looked a little sleepy and slowly closed.

Except for the slight shaking of a few iron chains, everything returned to silence.

"Isn't the mic turned on? Forget it."

Bang!

A sharp-edged black block crashed into the ice.

"What's wrong, meow?"

Mido wakes up.

"There is a strange noise down there. I came over to take a look. I was afraid that you would be scared while sleeping, so I brought it here for you."

"So that's it, thank you Meow."

Midoduo said movedly.

"You are welcome."

Phew~

After Li Ming finished speaking, the skin of his palm suddenly exploded without warning.

The sharp claws covered with black dragon scales grew and took shape in an instant.

"Uh-huh, meow!"

Midoduo exclaimed and jumped up in fear.

"My day."

Li Ming looked at his hands that transformed into dragon claws. He was horrified and wanted to load fog balls to suppress resistance.

However, all fog balls seem to have diaphragms and cannot be injected into the holes.

"what!"

After a loud roar, all the terrifying scenes disappeared.

In front of him is the round table in the snow castle hall, and birds are chirping away outside.

The warm sunshine in the morning shines through the window.

"Is it a dream?"

"Are you OK?"

Ni Shuang came over and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it seems like I had a nightmare."

"Well, in your eyes, what kind of scene can be called a nightmare?"

Chuying scratched her head, she really couldn't imagine it.

"Where's Midoduo?"

Li Ming looked at the table and then looked under the table, but could not find any trace of it.

So he opened the iron door and ran down quickly.

Finally, right in front of the black giant sword, I saw Midodo sleeping soundly.

Li Ming took a long breath and gently picked it up.

"Uh, I had a nightmare, meow, it was so scary."

"Don't worry, it's just a dream."

Li Ming gently stroked the fur on his back.

When Ni Shuang saw that both the person and the cat were fine, he immediately let go of his worries.

His attention was focused on the black block in front of the giant sword.

"This black block was not there during yesterday's visit, right?"

"Yes, did it fall off naturally last night?"

Chuying speculated.

"The fractures on the surface are so regular. I'd better let the scholars handle it."

Although Ni Shuang was confused, he was not an expert.

After breakfast, Maomao, who delivered the airship observation information, arrived as promised.

The area where Tyrannosaurus Benglong is currently located has been observed and explored by airships.

The customization of the battle plan begins here.

"According to the information reviewed last night, when the two sides fought on the snowy mountain terrain, Benglong had a clear advantage. After the Leyline Eruption, Tyrannosaurus also had a certain home field advantage, but it was not that outstanding. So my plan is to wait until both sides are ready. Attack again when there is fighting around the ley line."

Li Ming told the deployment.

"In other words, the battle must focus on limiting Benglong's terrain advantage."

Ni Shuang concluded.

"That's right. Once Benglong suffers a heavy blow, he will inevitably evacuate to the snowy mountain terrain. At that time, he can focus on attacking Tyrannosaurus."

"The heavy consumption of each other will also lead Benglong to fight in terrain that is not conducive to itself. Why are the two sides so unrelenting?"

Chuying asked curiously.

"I haven't found out the reason yet, maybe they don't like each other."

Li Ming was also a little confused.

From an ecological point of view, no one can take advantage of the ongoing battle between the two sides.

Probably it was in the snow-capped mountains area that there were no strong enemies to invade, so the two dragons could fight each other so comfortably all day long.

The team immediately set out on the road, preparing to further deploy the details of the plan based on the intelligence obtained from the observations.

While walking in the snow with one person and one cat, Li Ming confirmed that the contents of Midodo's nightmare were completely consistent with his own experience.

"It won't really happen, right?"

Midoduo asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. If you really dare to mutate me, I may not be the unlucky one."
