All Heavens: Start with Monster Hunter

Chapter 131: Fire Nation

Three days had passed since the last time the village chief came to inform the hunters about their level upgrades and the New World Survey Team.

Just when Li Qing thought that Weiwei might have met with some accident, he finally saw her return safely.

And compared to his previous image, he now looks like he is wearing a set of white rabbit skin armor.

Of course, she looked good, but her expression was so resentful that Li Qing couldn't bear to look at it any longer.

"Are you really in love, Li Qing?"

Although Li Qing couldn't bear to hurt Weiwei's sad look, he still had to make this matter clear.

Li Qing is not a scumbag and does not play with people's feelings.

"That's right. My girlfriend's name is Ciri. She's out on a mission. You'll be able to see her later."

"."

Weiwei lowered her head and remained silent for a while. Just when Li Qing thought she was crying and wanted to comfort her, he saw her raise her head again. Her expression was very conflicted, but also very free and easy.

"Sure enough, you already knew what I was thinking, otherwise you wouldn't have expressed it so decisively."

"If that's the case, then it seems we really are not destined to be together."

"But I just want to ask, does the agreement between us still count?"

Weiwei raised her head and looked into Li Qing's eyes and asked.

Li Qing certainly did not hesitate about this matter and nodded heavily: "Of course!"

Weiwei smiled for the first time and nodded: "That's good!"

Then she adjusted her expression, returned to her original quiet look, and began to talk about the arrangements.

"I have contacted the Fire Country Hunter Guild's flying ship, and it will probably reach Jieyun Village around noon tomorrow."

"The distance between the Fire Country and Jieyun Village is not far. We will probably reach the Fire Country in the evening."

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions!"

Li Qing nodded in agreement.

It’s a bit embarrassing to say, this is really his first time traveling far away in the Monster Hunter World.

Moreover, there is a huge volcano between Jieyun Village and the Land of Fire, so it is not possible to walk there. You can probably go around to Dongdoruma.

So the only way is to take a flying ship and fly directly over the volcano.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Seeing that Li Qing agreed, Weiwei didn't say anything more. She had just returned from outside the village and hadn't changed her equipment or cleaned up yet. As a girl, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Oh, that's good. If you have time in the evening, you can come find me and we can go for a drink!"

Li Qing didn't stop her from leaving, but still said something.

"I understand. I'll go if I have time." Weiwei just said softly and turned away.

Watching her leaving, Li Qing shook his head slightly, but in the end he didn't say much and turned and left.

The next morning, Li Qing got up from the bed and looked at the place beside him.

Ciri got up early, and judging from the noises coming from the backyard, they must be training.

I can only say that the hunter profession really has a special charm.

After picking up the katana, Ciri seemed like a different person. She was thinking about fighting those large monsters every day. Even now, she didn't hang out with Li Qing, but just focused on practicing with her katana every day.

However, it seems that it is because after coming to this world, she felt the pressure and activated the ancient blood in her body. Ciri's physical fitness and adaptability are increasing rapidly.

In just a few days, Li Qing felt that Ciri's strength had increased by at least several orders of magnitude.

It wasn't difficult to deal with the Blue Bear Beast before, and now in the training room, he can fight on equal terms with the Barbarian Jaw Dragon. It even feels that if he keeps progressing at this rate, he will be able to catch up with the elite hunter in a day or two.

But Li Qing felt that this was actually just a welfare period, and his strength was increasing rapidly.

In addition, Ciri is now passionate about the hunter profession and can feel progress every day, which really gives her a sense of accomplishment.

But Li Qing hopes this situation won't last too long.

It is estimated that when you reach the elite hunter or five-star hunter level, you will reach a bottleneck period. If you want to make further progress, you will need to accumulate quickly or rely on external forces.

I got out of bed, put on my clothes, and walked into the living room. The food was already on the table.

Old Porter seemed to have run out of money in recent days, so he became more active and often went out to look for food.

So you don’t see many people there.

After finishing breakfast, he casually controlled the water vapor to clean himself, then walked into the yard with energy.

Ciri was still swinging her sword at the wooden stake.

The sweat was thrown off as he moved, and the bulging muscles with obvious lines looked very handsome.

"That's almost it for today, Ciri. We'll be leaving at noon, so let's eat and rest!"

The sword swung twice more before stopping. Ciri carried the sword on her shoulder and walked to Li Qing, enjoying the service of the water and breeze cleaning her body. She asked casually:
"What is the Fire Country like? Are there any powerful monsters?"

"I don't know about that either, but there are definitely powerful monsters, otherwise the Fire Nation wouldn't have been nearly destroyed."

"But I heard that the Fire Country isn't very large. It seems to only have one city and some villages."

Li Qing thought for a moment and said, "We won't know the details until we get there."

"You just have to be prepared. I heard that place is very hot."

"Ah!!!" Ciri stretched helplessly: "I hope it's not too hot."

"To be honest, I'm used to the cold, but I've never really felt the heat."

Li Qing stood up and pulled Ciri back into the room and started packing the things they were going to take with them.

In fact, there is nothing special to carry. Whether it is food and water supplies, or potions for healing and detoxification, Li Qing's ring has all the usual items.

So when it comes to preparation, it’s actually just getting some fresh ingredients and seasonings.

Although the Fire Kingdom is not far from Jieyun Village, it is obvious that the ingredients that are easily obtained in Jieyun Village are very rare in the Fire Kingdom.

After all, different geographical environments naturally lead to different specialties.

The Fire Nation is rich in various minerals and special crystalline materials, but plants and food are scarce.

These were all told to Li Qing by Weiwei specifically, asking him to bring more specialties from Jieyun Village when he left.

Even if you don't eat it, you can still exchange it for a lot of money in the Fire Nation.

After packing all the things he needed, Li Qing left a note for Old Potter and then took Ciri to the center of the village to get the two axes from Uncle Asa.

Arriving at the blacksmith shop, Uncle Asa was already forging weapons. When he saw Li Qing coming, he didn't say much, but pointed to the big box at the door and asked Li Qing to take it himself.

Li Qing walked over, opened the box, and immediately saw an extremely huge weapon inside.

A wide iron chain binds the axe body made of muscles and fangs. The saw-like blade does not look like a sword at all, but the tough muscles are still very sharp after being compressed.

However, compared to its sharpness, the Tyrannosaurus Rex Axe's greater strength is obviously its powerful force.

But this just fits Li Qing's characteristics.

He took the axe out of the box and held it in front of him to examine it carefully.

The moment I grasped the axe handle, I could clearly feel an indescribable feeling appearing in my mind.

It was as if I suddenly had an urge to pick up the axe and swing it around, and I could feel a sense of power emerging in the arm holding the axe.

I guess this is the characteristic of the Tyrannosaurus Rex that makes people irritable and angry?
Of course, this was of no use to Li Qing. At most, he just felt a little agitated, but he could easily control himself.

Moreover, Li Qing felt that if he practiced in this state frequently, it might help his mentality during battle.

"It seems you are quite satisfied."

Uncle Asa also came out at this time, and seeing Li Qing with a satisfied smile on his face, he also smiled.

He walked to Li Qing's side, pointed at the axe handle with one hand, and said, "The device you wanted that can switch forms with one hand has been modified by me and placed here."

"Because we need to consider the overall characteristics, we cannot deform it directly now, but need to use some force."

"Of course, since this is how the slashing axe is meant to be used, it shouldn't interfere with its use."

"But I don't know if this modification will affect the durability of the Slashing Axe, so if there is a problem, you must come back and tell me as soon as possible, or find someone to repair it."

Li Qing listened quietly to the old man's instructions and nodded obediently: "Okay, I understand, Uncle Asa!"

"Well, that's it. Your Thunder Wolf Dragon-made Slashing Axe has been modified. I also slightly repaired the blade and put it in the house. Don't forget to take it away."

"okay!"

Li Qing didn't waste any time and walked straight into the house and took back the Thunder Wolf Dragon Axe.

Then, after saying goodbye to the old dragon man, he took Ciri towards the airship's docking point.

Although it was not yet noon, Weiwei was probably waiting there for some time.

Besides, there is no such thing as punctuality in this world. If you come early, you leave early; if you come late, you leave late.

Along the way, many people heard that Li Qing was going to leave the village. When they saw Li Qing fully armed, they knew that Li Qing was going to leave.

But the villagers of Jieyun Village naturally had no selfish idea of ​​needing Li Qing to protect the village and not let them leave. Not only were they very supportive, but they also started sending food to Li Qing again.

Li Qing could only express his gratitude while quickening his pace and running with Ciri.

When we arrived at the stop, Weiwei was already waiting there.

Not only her, most of the Fire Nation hunters in Jieyun Village will return today.

And they basically all carried large and small bags, and it seemed like they had bought a lot of local specialties.

These hunters supported Li Qing's going to the Fire Nation even more than Vivi did.

As hunters who have experienced the terror of Storm Dragon together, they truly understand how powerful Lee Sin is who can defeat Storm Dragon.

They also felt the same way about the disaster that befell the Fire Nation, so of course they were just as happy to have such strong support.

After exchanging a quick hello with the hunters, he brought Ciri to Vivi's side.

"Sister Weiwei, the airship should be here soon, right?"

Li Qing spoke first, then motioned to Ciri next to him and introduced him: "This is Ciri."

Before Weiwei could move, Xili had already extended her hand and introduced herself with a smile: "Hello, Weiwei, I'm Xili!"

"Li Qing has been talking to me about you for a long time. I think we will become good friends."

"Ah! Hello, hello!!"

Weiwei originally thought that Ciri would not treat her well, but she did not expect that Ciri had such a straightforward personality.

He quickly reached out his hand and shook hands with Ciri.

Ciri really had no opinion about Vivi. On the contrary, when she saw how pretty Vivi was, she even felt a little closer to her.

Li Qing had a good first impression of the two people and felt much more relaxed.

Although I can't be with Weiwei, as a friend, I don't want our relationship to become cold.

After standing at the stop and waiting for about half an hour, a dark shadow slowly appeared in the sky.

"The airship is coming!" one of the hunters shouted.

All of a sudden, the hunters who had been lazily gathering in groups just now all gathered together and waited to board the boat.

There is no standard procedure for flying ships in Monster Hunter World, and there is no need to buy tickets or anything like that.

This time, the airship returning to the Fire Nation was undertaken by the Fire Nation's royal family, that is, Vivi's father. In fact, the hunters took advantage of Vivi.

Otherwise, you have to wait for the Hunter Guild to make arrangements.

They all got on the ship. The flying ship was quite large, so it was not difficult to accommodate so many hunters.

Li Qing and the other two also found a quiet corner and sat down to wait.

It only takes a few hours to get from Jieyun Village to the Fire Kingdom. If we set out now, we can get off the boat before dark, so there is no need to find a bed to rest.

I didn't feel any fear of seasickness because it was my first time riding a flying ship.

After all, Li Qing can fly, so he has no fear of such high altitudes.

He took out some snacks from the ring and shared them with Sirivivi. After the airship made sure that no one was left behind, it replenished the supplies and took off again for home.

Nothing unexpected happened during the long journey.

The flying ship was flying at a very high altitude, and the volcanic area was not suitable for high-altitude creatures to survive, so it arrived at its destination safely along the way.

With a 'bang', the airship landed on the ground.

Although we were still some distance away from the volcano, the hot air seemed to make people sweat all of a sudden.

Following the crowd towards the airship and leaving the docking point, Li Qing felt that he was sweating despite his physical condition.

And Ciri was already sweating profusely.

It seems that she really has a poor resistance to the heat.

On the other hand, although Vivi's physique is far inferior to Li Qing, or even Ciri, as a native of the Fire Nation, she doesn't seem to feel any big problem.
