I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 64 Cat Tribe
In the evening, the Meilu people in the camp began to pack their bags.

The leader Aile handed Li Ming a roster with countless cat paw prints.

"The names of all the members are here, nya."

Eller, Blossom, Bell, Bard, Wholemeal, Arthur, Onion, Willow, Manna
There are 25 melu in total.

Each animal's interests, hobbies, and abilities are marked in detail.

Since many of them were former audience members of the storytelling forum, these names looked particularly familiar to Li Ming.

"Why are there thirteen more?"

Li Ming asked.

"They are voluntary pledges, meow."

"By the way, are you really willing to follow the team?"

"Of course, Meow. After Midoduo talked about your grand plan to establish a Meowth stronghold, we already had a sacred paw vote, and finally unanimously decided to follow the team to open up a new world."

Eller said firmly.

"Being a Cat Adventure Team involves a lot of risks."

"Living here is just as dangerous, nya."

"alright."

The small tent was dismantled, and the square ice crystals at the bottom of the well were lifted out and loaded onto the truck.

When the team hit the road the next day, they were followed by a fully loaded cat cart.

We came to the commercial road and took a sand boat, and rushed back to the Sandstone Cave Branch in just one day.

Li Ming originally wanted to visit Wood and Ah Ju, but they went out hunting.

Then he helped tidy up the small yard and fed the pigs by the way.

After settling the members of the Melu tribe here, the next step is the issue of member distribution.

If you really want to set up a cat camp, you must have a clear division of labor.

Camp construction and maintenance, logistics, adventure team members, and cat rescue team.
Li Ming makes design arrangements based on the characteristics and abilities of each cat.

Two days later, the carcass of the scratched bird arrived.

"Make them all into cat weapons and armor, are you sure, meow?"

Craftsman Ai Lu was extremely surprised to hear Li Ming's handling of bird-tickling materials.

"Yes, approximately how many sets can be made?"

"Well, cat armor uses very little material and its structure is relatively simple. There should be more than a dozen sets, meow."

Artisan Elu informed.

"Then build it as soon as possible."

Four days later, the workshop delivered 14 sets of bird-tickling cat equipment.

After equipping Mido Duobu, Li Ming distributed the remaining 12 sets to the members of the expedition team and the rescue team, and ensured that other members would have them sooner or later after the team hunted.

However, due to different work risks, the sorting will be delayed.

Then Li Ming announced the location of Maomao Camp, a clearing in the forest next to the coast of Feiye Fortress.

The reason is that the ecological climate there is not as bad as Sand Plains, and it is close to Feiye Fortress, so many monsters that can pose a potential threat will not easily set foot there.

And due to transportation restrictions, the expedition team is not yet able to travel far.

The rich local products and the collection of raw materials for the two poisons can ensure that the camp has enough income to maintain its own operations.

At noon, the sun is shining.

A middle-aged male hunter wearing heavy khaki armor and carrying a horned dragon shield and ax walked into the sandstone cave stronghold with an Ellu dressed in the same style.

The man's body was covered with dirt and blood, and he had obviously just escaped from a battle.

The onlookers stood dumbfounded for a moment, then one after another made way for him to pass through the middle.

At the end of the main road, the man turned into a side street and came to a small private courtyard.

When you open the door and walk in, you see small tents scattered throughout the courtyard, as well as playful Merlu cats.

The man took two steps back and took a closer look at the courtyard door to make sure he was on the right track.

"Aju, this is our home."

"Yes meow."

Ah Ju forcefully pulled off the Ceratopsian helmet and gave confirmation.

"Senior Wood! Finally I see you are back. Come in and sit down. By the way, this is your home."

Li Ming greeted him warmly when he came back.

"It's Li Ming haha."

Wood, who was a little surprised, seemed very happy.

Holding Li Ming's wrist with one hand, it was like a hug.

"Huh? This smell."

Li Ming noticed something was wrong when he noticed the black and purple dust on his shoulders.

"Sorry, I was a little too happy to see you back and not giving up the use of the shield axe. I even forgot to carry a large amount of Mad Dragon Virus dust."

Wood said and quickly stepped back.

"Go inside first, nya."

Ah Ju reminded.

"That makes sense. After taking care of the wound, I have to go to the guild."

After Wood finished speaking, he came to the wooden house with Li Ming.

After removing the ceratopsian armor, new and old wounds crisscrossed the area.

Ah Ju skillfully took out bottles and jars in the kitchen and mixed the medicine for the wound.

"Senior Wood, did you go to conquer the Black Eclipse Dragon, or did you encounter it by chance on the way?"

Li Ming asked.

"I took the initiative to attack, but failed, but I obtained important information. Bah!"

The ointment Ah Ju applied to Wood's body made him grit his teeth in pain.

"Important information. Could it be that the black eclipse dragon has the possibility of transforming into a heavenly dragon?"

There is important information about the Black Eclipse Dragon, one is the spread of the Mad Dragon Virus, and the other is the individual who may transform into the Celestial Dragon.

"You know a lot, you are right, but what's more serious is that it has adapted to the rodent parasitism to a great extent, and is still practicing its combat skills by constantly challenging monsters in various areas. .”

"In other words, this black dragon is consciously striving to make itself stronger?"

"Yes, once this kind of Black Eclipse Dragon who is passionate about struggle transforms into a Sky Dragon, the threat it can cause will be beyond imagination. The guild must take precautions as soon as possible."

After the bandage was wrapped tightly around his body, Wood put on a set of casual clothes and rushed to the guild to report the situation.

"That black corroded dragon can't even be dealt with by Senior Wood, meow?"

Midoduo asked worriedly.

"Yes, Meow. I have never seen such a powerful Black Eclipse Dragon. There is no chance at all. It would be great if we could recruit three more five-star hunters. Maybe we could eradicate it in one fell swoop before it continues to grow stronger. ."

Ah Ju sighed.

Li Ming felt that the helplessness faced by the super powerful Black Eclipse Dragon was a microcosm of the current world.

Continuous battle failures have caused humans to lose the ability to detect crises in advance and then eradicate them through constant exploration, as in the game.

The next day, the team took Melu and the others on the road.

In order to thank Senior Wood for taking care of him, Li Ming grabbed a box of forced medicine and left it with him before leaving.

Leaving Sand Plains three days later and hiring trucks to continue their journey, the team returned to Feiye Fortress six days later.

Arriving at the open space in the forest close to the seaside, Li Ming did not worry about the infrastructure construction of the cat camp. Instead, he led the cats to dig an emergency bunker.Then came the safety training, where monsters such as the Resentful Tiger Dragon that must not be provoked in the Waste God Community area were introduced in detail.

If you want to talk about the advantage of the Cat Adventure Team over the human collectors, it is that Elumelu will not be targeted by powerful monsters.

Li Ming speculated that the lack of threat and lack of meat may be the main reasons.

But if you are naughty and take the initiative to provoke you, then the other party will definitely not mind taking you to see the cat god.

Three days later, the Cat Camp with more than a dozen tents was established.

Cat statues piled high with debris, cubes of ice crystals, and cat dojos with various training equipment are all deployed.

During this period, Li Ming found a Fumu rabbit nest located on a tree branch through [Incubation Nest Exploration].

After constant feeding and verbal deception, the bird's nest was finally moved above the cat camp, so that when threatening monsters came in, an early warning could be issued.

After that, Li Ming also conducted several crisis drills to continuously improve the time required for the cats to hide in the bunker.

On the fourth day, Chuying submitted the first collection list to Maomao Camp.

Private cat expeditions have always been relatively rare.

Chu Ying just wanted to give it a try, but Mei Lu from the tribe came out in large numbers and collected the ammunition blending materials on the list in just half a day.

"Is this the Cat Adventure Team? It's amazing!"

Looking at the various materials in the bamboo basket, Chuying couldn't help but admire them.

"If you need anything else, just ask me. The camp has not started to accept external business yet, and all the cats are still idle, so just leave the materials within the collection range to us."

Ayler informed.

After the Maomao camp was on track, Li Ming, who had some free time, began to study a new hunting contract.

When fighting against Tick Bird, he found that the villain's shield ax currently used was somewhat insufficient in terms of attack power and sharpness.

So the creation of a new shield ax was taken as a prerequisite for choosing a contract.

But looking at the three-star contract in the fortress branch, the only option is the kappa frog who can build a water-attribute shield axe.

In the evening, the team started discussions with the barbecue shop.

"It's a bit difficult to decide. What is the shield ax you are most looking forward to right now?"

Chuying asked.

"The Firework Shield Ax made from the material of the female fire dragon. Unfortunately, it is a four-star monster. Unless it is an emergency contract, the team cannot pick it up. It is also unknown whether the team can defeat it."

Li Ming informed.

"It's better to prepare in advance."

"Do you have a plan?"

"Yes, you can first try to defeat the strange dragon and make a light crossbow with a tight injection type. Then let the Cat Adventure Team continue to accumulate penetrating electric shock bomb materials. During this period, you can upgrade the existing shield ax to the maximum, so that you can receive the female fire dragon By completing the subjugation contract, you can start hunting.”

Chuying told her the plan.

"Female fire dragons are weak to lightning. This is a good idea, but the two of us seem to have poor resistance to electric shock from strange dragons."

Li Ming expressed his concerns.

"After the spongy material accumulates water in cold areas, it will freeze quickly. You have silt armor, which should also have a certain degree of resistance to electric shock."

"Okay, I'll go to the guild to ask Shui Yun tomorrow. Forget it, let's go after dinner."

After having a clear direction for his efforts, Li Ming finished his barbecue and went straight to the guild.

Not only did he approve of Chuying's equipment creation ideas, but he was also looking forward to the skills that Strange Dragon would unleash.

"There is a strange dragon contract, but that monster is very dangerous. Even if the cat rescue team is present, hunting is very dangerous. Hunters will die every year because of it. Is the team confirmed to be prepared?"

Shuiyun asked worriedly.

"Yes."

"Okay, please take a look."

After Shui Yun finished speaking, she handed over the contract.

【Repel the faceless monster】★★★
Location: Frozen Islands - Ice Cave Cave beneath the Wild Stronghold.

Contract Target: Strange Dragon
Client: Gu Hu, an adventure-loving investigator
Mission brief: A strange dragon appeared in the underground cave where the stronghold is located.

The figure hanging from the top of the cave is so terrifying that field investigation is no longer possible.

I am afraid that one day it will climb up, and I beg the hunting team to eradicate it.

Honoraria: 5100z+1350z (subsidy)
Time frame: 28 days

"It turned out to be a contract issued by Lone Fox."

"She is the only investigator stationed on the Frozen Islands all year round. If the team can eliminate the threat, Investigator Lone Fox will definitely be happy. The ruthless team has great momentum, but we still have to act within our capabilities."

After receiving the contract at the counter, some of the hunter team met for the last time.

Shui Yun hoped that Li Ming would be cautious.

"Thanks for the reminder, we are confident that we can complete the task."

"That's good for the Cat Rescue Team, the team thought"

"No introduction is needed, this mission team has its own cat rescue team."

"Ah? Bring your own?"

The corners of Shuiyun's eyes twitched, with a look of disbelief on her face.

After accepting the contract, preparations for the hunting operation begin.

The Melu expedition team searched for hollow fruits and gunpowder in large quantities in the Waste God Community area, and produced fire bombs in batches.

Li Ming used the Monster Encyclopedia to research the characteristics of the strange dragon.

Chuying practiced running, jumping and rolling vigorously to ensure that she could escape safely when threatened.

Three days later, the team set off by boat.

The crew and passengers are very curious about the hunter team with its own cat rescue team.

Nine days passed, and the transport ship docked at an uninhabited port on the frozen archipelago.

Seeing the five full boxes of fire bombs being unloaded, Chu Ying thought to herself that she had never had such luxury since she became a hunter.

After the cat cart was hoisted and rappelled on the ice, Li Ming found a small cotton-padded jacket and tightly wrapped the cat statue fixed on the cart.

"Although it's a bit cold here, the oysters produced are particularly delicious. I asked Mido to deliver them in the evening."

The reason why Li Ming wanted to bring the Meow God Statue was mainly because the duration limit of [Meow God's Spiritual Protection (Super Large)] was a bit confusing.

Three days of hunting in the Waste God Community area is barely enough.

In an area like the Frozen Islands that requires long distance travel, the effect disappears before the journey is even halfway through.

Ice skating, snowball fights, building snowmen
The plums saw a lot of snow for the first time and had a great time.

The hunting target this time is in the ice cave below the wild stronghold, eliminating the need to confirm the scope of activities.

However, the threat has been confirmed, and the electric dragon can also climb rock walls. It is obviously not wise to settle in a wild stronghold.

Therefore, the team chose to establish a camp in a safe area.

While hunting elk and Bobo, three sleeping dog dragons approached and wanted to snatch them.

He found that Li Ming's figure wielding a shield and ax was very familiar, and confirmed that he was someone he could not afford to offend. He yelled to warn his companions and fled quickly.

In the evening, the wind was howling and the snow was falling.

When Li Ming saw how bad the weather was, he gave up the idea of ​​going to the wild stronghold and joining Lone Fox.

Just as the team was having dinner in the tent around the oven, the tent curtain was suddenly opened from the outside.

"It's great that it's the Ruthless Team."

Plop~ After finishing speaking, the woman covered in snow and frost fell forward.
