I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 82 Spine of the Knife

"It's better to dance later."

Li Ming felt it was time to change his strategy.

"This group of cats really has potential. If you are willing to train them, I can pay them a relatively generous salary."

"Processing is my grandfather's business. I'm not short of money. But if you set up a camp outside the fortress at will, aren't you afraid of attracting powerful monsters?"

Daoji said and sat on the chair.

"In terms of influence, even if a powerful monster approaches, the Maomao Camp will not be attracted to it."

Li Ming retorted.

"Okay, even if they come for the fortress, destroying the camp is just a piece of cake. They can't even guarantee their own safety. Even if they have a dojo, what's the use of training every day?"

"You said the opposite, meow, we want to train so that we can be able to ensure our own safety!"

Seeing that Daoji said everything was meaningless, Midoduo was very angry.

"Haha. Make sure you are safe. Don't be kidding me. There are walls and artillery protection in the fortress. If you don't dare to say that you can protect your own safety, what do you think?"

Daoji's belly trembled with laughter, and he was very disdainful of Midoduo's remarks.

"We have Li Mingmiao! He was the one who snatched the Meow Statue back!"

"In the end, it doesn't depend on the hunter, and even if he can repel all the monsters, he can't stay in the camp forever."

"Well, we will find a way, meow! Material warehouse! Refrigerator! Stink bomb protection! We already have a safe bunker! There will also be a cat armed force! In the future, the tribe will also build cat cannons! City walls! Ports! Submarine! And the ability to go deep into high-risk areas to follow the reconnaissance team!”

Seeing Mido Duo telling the cakes he drew in one breath, Li Ming helplessly held his forehead.

Daoji was stunned after hearing this, his eyes slightly lowered, as if he was remembering something.

"Why is this the same as my previous idea? No, I never imagined a safe haven."

"The shelter bunker is very useful. When faced with the invasion of the Weasel Dragon some time ago, not a single cat in the tribe was injured."

Li Ming felt that the other party seemed to be very interested, so he started to introduce him.

"How deep the bunker is dug and how deep it can withstand... I'm not interested at all in saying what these things do."

Daoji held the armrests of the chair with both hands and quickly turned his face sideways.

Li Ming could tell that the other party still cared about Maomao Camp, but he just didn't want to admit it.

"The jungle around the camp is very suitable for raising four-leaf birds. Since it will not attract monsters, it can also produce healing scale powder. Midoduo, how about researching it?"

"Aren't you going to try again, meow?"

Midoduo looked at the spine of the knife.

"No, what do you think about adding the popular taiko drum in the village to the band?"

"That's a good suggestion, nya, but no one knows how to strengthen the taiko drum, nya."

"Then we can only start other aspects of development first. It is said that the originally planned residential area is almost full. Should it be expanded? Otherwise, new cats will come and it will not be able to accommodate it."

"Okay, meow, I'll buy some small tents made of wood and go back."

"Hey! Can you two stop discussing these issues next to me?"

Daoji said a little crazy.

When he heard the chat between a person and a cat, he couldn't help but make associations.

"Sorry, no, because without a mentor, we can only make other plans. The team may go hunting at any time, and time is very tight."

"Can't we go to the rabbit dumpling tea stall opposite to discuss it?"

"The business there is so good, the seats are very tight. If I don't order two skewers, I'll be embarrassed to sit down."

"Then just order two skewers!"

"Rabbit dumplings stick to my teeth. I don't like eating them."

"Okay, let me go!"

Daoji said and stood up.

"Let's go, Midoduo, to the barbecue restaurant to discuss."

When Daoji heard this, he paused.

It was obvious that his whereabouts had been predicted in advance.

"How can I make you disappear before my eyes?"

Daoji's tone became gloomy.

"Let's do this. You choose an event to compete. If I lose, I will disappear from you forever. If I win, you will come to the team camp and help set up the follower cat dojo."

Li Ming made a proposal.

"Let me choose. If you are so confident, do you think I am inferior to you in everything?"

"Of course not. Just in terms of your ability to train cats, you are far above me. It's a pity that you won't choose this as a competition event."

"Hehe, can you choose anything?"

Daoji suddenly showed a confident smile.

"Yes."

"Then let's compete with who can eat more barbecue."

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, touched his chin with his hand, and glanced down from the corner of his mouth, looking embarrassed.

"This is a bit difficult to handle."

Midoduo crossed his paws and turned around to cover his mouth.

"Then disappear in front of me, forever."

"I am willing to accept the competition so that the cats can have suitable mentors! But the loser pays the barbecue bill, can you accept it?"

"of course."

After reaching an agreement, the two walked side by side to the barbecue restaurant.

The boss who was leaning in front of the store was fanning himself to enjoy the cool air. When he saw the epic combination on stage, his eyes widened immediately.

Call out all the cats in the store and greet the two customers.

In the dusk, Feiye Fortress is ablaze with orange and red.

With his mouth full of oil stains, he stood up and struggled to stack the plates in his hands on a high place. He held his hands on his waist and sat down directly on the ground without being able to sit firmly.

"Hmm. You just ate so little. Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Ming, who was sitting opposite, had the barbecue plates stacked higher than the ridges of the knives, but his face was calm and calm.

"You, you, you are not human!"

Daoji gritted his teeth and lay down after finishing speaking.

Li Ming put down the flesh and blood in his hand and said in a solemn tone: "Mao Mao Camp needs you very much, and Yanhuo Village has a lot of relevant experience. You should not waste your time and talent."

"But you can't win at all."

Daoji lying on the ground, his belly rising and falling as he breathed, and his words revealed a deep sense of powerlessness.

I don’t know if he is referring to the powerful monster or Li Ming.

At this time, Midoduo came to his side and wiped the oil from his mouth with a white square towel.

"Winter wind."

Daoji, who was lying down, looked at Midoduo and unconsciously called out a name.

"Is that the cat's name, Meow?"

Midoduo asked curiously.

"Yes, but he has been killed for a long time. Thank you Midoduo."

At this time, Daoji's tone became much gentler.

"I am a person who keeps his word. When I adjust the situation, I will go to the camp to help build the dojo. However, my fee is not cheap. In addition to teaching and training, many of Maomao's stunts require a large amount of specific materials, such as explosive bombs. For the barrel technique, the camp must have a large amount of physical reserves before it is possible to carry out actual combat drills. Generally, only by expanding the camp with planting and breeding areas can this demand be met. I believe you are also aware of the dangers of expanding the territory in this way. I hope The team can be better prepared in this regard.”

After Daoji finished speaking, he put his palms on the ground and stood up against the wall.

In just a few words, Li Ming knew that he had found the right person.

"Then let's meet at the camp. Do you need the Cat Rescue Team to take you back?"

"No, I can do it myself."

Daoji walked to the door and looked at the bill handed over by the boss. His face was a little ugly, but he was still willing to admit defeat and took out his wallet to pay.

Li Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. His victory was not as easy as it seemed on the surface.

On the street at dusk, a man and a cat walk hand in hand.

"It's weird meow"

Midoduo looked confused. "Have you encountered something that confused you?"

"Yes, meow, the Elu who work in the barbecue restaurant said that as a customer who also has a huge appetite, everyone has already mentioned you to Daojie. There are many people in the fortress who know about carrying a large amount of raw meat, but he actually wants to Competing with you over barbecue."

Mido told the details.

"Maybe he also needs a reason to convince himself."

Li Ming speculated.

Two days later, in the early morning, Daoji, wearing an oversized Weasel Dragon training suit, appeared beside the campfire at Maomao Camp.

When the gathering bell rings, everyone, whether they are burying feces on the beach or sleeping cats, come to gather.

"Start the roll call now, Onion!"

"Meow!"

"Bell!"

"Meow!"

"Mana!"

"Meow meow!"

Chuying, who was wearing a sunhat and driving Bobo to plow the fields in the forest, said with some surprise: "It feels so formal."

"The spine of the knife is a professional rice drum. Don't eat it. You haven't plowed as much land as me. Work quickly."

Hearing Li Ming's urging, Mi Gugu flapped his small wings and dragged the plow truck forward.

"By the way, if we plant it on such a large area, won't it attract monsters?"

Chuying asked.

"Grow something cheap first and accumulate experience. Even if it is destroyed, the loss will not be much. When the camp is able to build a large-scale fence, it will be able to safely grow high-value crops. In addition, we must take the initiative to attack the monsters that are always looking for trouble. , to provide enough deterrence.”

"What about the fertilizer?"

"As long as I'm here, there's no need to worry."

"So you made so many plans."

Chuying was relieved immediately.

Late at night, seven sickle dragons were crawling and resting in an open area in the forest.

According to the observation information obtained in some places, these leaderless weasel dragons migrated here from other areas.

Perhaps knowing that due to their own strength, they could not provoke hunters, they never dared to explore the Feiye Fortress, so the guild did not issue a hunting contract.

But this kind of stronghold monster settlement that is too close is obviously a hidden danger.

The guild acquiesces that hunters have the right to carry out encirclement, suppression and eradication.

Shasha~
Hearing the scraping sound of branches and leaves, a sickle dragon woke up and looked up.

Shasha~
A humanoid shadow leaped across the top of the tree at high speed.

The alert Weasel Dragon blinked twice, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

At the top of the tree crown, with the help of thick branches and leaves, Li Ming squatted to hide his figure.

Since loading [Leap Frog Shock], when he performs squatting movements, his legs feel extremely smooth and comfortable when exerting force.

It seems that this is the normal action posture.

Jumping and jumping in a crouching position is even easier.

Moreover, the lower crouching posture also provides great convenience for stealth.

In addition, the interval between crouching down to hide and getting up to attack is greatly reduced due to the smooth movement of force.

This kind of improvement was something Li Ming had never expected before.

The part triggered by the shock was pretty much what he expected. Even if he jumped to the highest point and hit the rice drum with greater weight, it still couldn't cause any impact on the ground.

Seeing that the trees above him stopped swaying, the Weasel Dragon stopped watching.

However, just when he lowered his head, the various eyes appearing in the trees made him alert again.

"The Weasel Dragon invaded the camp! Pay the price, meow!"

Following Elle's shout, more than 30 Ellu and Melu wearing armor jumped out of the trees.

The Weasel Dragon watched for a moment, wary of the stretched neck, and straightened it up.

Ow!Ow!
Excited roars sounded.

Apparently he thinks that the Cat Tribe is not here to attack him, but to deliver midnight snacks.

Li Ming squatted down, gathered strength with his legs for a short time, and jumped out from the top of the tree canopy.

Whoosh~wow.

The leaves explode in clumps.

The figure briefly overlapped with the full moon in mid-air. Li Ming completed assembling the sword and shield and fell down.

"Be hit by my heavy axe!"

Pfft!

The Weasel Dragon, which received an ax on its back, fell to the ground.

Under the heavy pressure, the explosive ax blade was embedded very deeply, and a dull bone cracking sound was heard.

The Weasel Dragon was struck violently by brute force and was killed in one blow.

The cat tribe simultaneously launched a battle against other sickle dragons.

Since the crafting has not yet been unified, everyone's weapons are different, and some are even production tools such as shovels and pickaxes.

However, with the siege strategy formulated by Daoji, the cats quickly restrained the remaining six weasel dragons.

Li Ming kept jumping up and down, one ax at a time.

Although it is impossible to accurately target the key parts, the heavy ax blow is more powerful and powerful.

As long as it is touched, the Weasel Dragon can't bear it at all, and it will be seriously injured even if it doesn't die.

Fog balls were everywhere and blood was everywhere.

The only remaining lame sickle dragon fled quickly.

Li Ming did not pursue him, but let him leave.

Judging from its performance just now, even if it returns to the group, it will only issue a warning to inform its companions that there is an axe-cleaving madman in this area and they must not get close.

This can cut off the possibility of the Weasel Dragon continuing to invade from the source.

Participated in the battle and defeated the Weasel Dragon clan. The cats cheered loudly to celebrate the victory.

Daoji, who appeared in the bushes, was very pleased to see this scene.

Immediately guide the cats to quickly clean up the blood stains and monster corpses at the scene to prevent them from being discovered by other monsters.

"I didn't expect your hunting style to be so wild."

Daoji said unexpectedly.

"I've been looking for a style that suits me. I didn't feel much pressure from hunting this group of Weasel Dragons, so I made some attempts."

"It's not easy to achieve this level even if you try. Why can you squat so low?"

Daoji glanced down and asked with some envy.

"do not know."

"Yeah, what a sincere answer."

"How are the cats doing?"

"Very good. As a semi-wild Elumelu, she is both wild and very capable of adapting and learning. She also has high respect for you and firmly believes that the tribe can develop and grow. By the way, pray to the cat statue before going out. , is it really useful?”

"it works."

Li Ming said with great conviction.

"It turns out to be really useful. After I cut off the tails of these Scyllus dragons, I will bring them back to the processor to make sickles for the tribesmen to use for fighting cats."

"Isn't it possible to build it only with the remaining materials of the Kamaita Dragon King?"

Li Ming asked puzzledly.

"That's the guild's calibration design. I'll make my own design using materials from the Scythe Weasel Dragon."

"The processor will agree. Forget, it's yours."

Li Ming suddenly realized.
