All Heavens: Start with Monster Hunter

Chapter 32 Colorful Bird {Seeking Follow-up Reading}
We returned along the original route and followed the marks left by Ana. It took us more than ten minutes to find the location of the camp.

This location is well chosen, at a corner of a mountain, with a water source nearby and is relatively hidden.

Cotton Rabbit had already dropped off the supplies. Ana and Lei were setting up the tent. When they saw Li Qing and the others coming back, they asked, "How was it, big brother? Did you get anything?"

Karlov nodded, and walked over with Li Qing to help open the tent, saying, "I have some idea now."

"The Brute Jaw Dragon is fighting with a Thunder Wolf Dragon for territory. If my estimate is correct, that Thunder Wolf Dragon should also be from the Thunder Wolf Dragon tribe in Lingfeng."

"The ecological environment near Jieyun Village has remained unchanged for a long time, but now a large number of monsters are moving around, fighting for territory everywhere."

"It has led to drastic changes and conflicts in the current ecological environment, but it is still in the early stages and has not yet had an impact on Jieyun Village."

"If this change is allowed to spread, Jieyun Village will be threatened by monsters, and merchants and travelers coming to Jieyun Village from all over will also be in danger."

Li Qing nodded: "So after we go back, we will probably have to ask the Hunter Guild for help."

"The hunters in the village are good enough to deal with some ordinary monsters, but it would be difficult to deal with a monster like the Thunder Wolf Dragon."

Opening the door of the tent, Karlov went in.

"After the investigation is completed and the results are reported, the Dragon Calendar Institute and the Ancient Dragon Investigation Institute will also send personnel over."

"The guy on the Lingfeng Mountain cannot be dealt with by a few hunters."

Li Qing picked up the blanket for resting and walked into the tent.

A total of two tents were built, each capable of accommodating two people.

Karlov and Lei lived in one cabin, and Li Qing and Ana lived in another. In fact, Li Qing also wanted to squeeze in with Karlov, but who would have thought that it was Ana who strongly requested Li Qing to live with her.

Although it was a bit awkward, Li Qing did not forcefully refuse.

It's not like he's going to sleep with her, so why is he in such a hurry?

"Good night then. Let's go and see the outcome of the battle between the two monsters tomorrow, and then continue on our way to the Spiritual Peak."

The next morning, a slight movement woke Li Qing from his sleep.

He opened his eyes suddenly, only to see Ana sitting up beside him with one hand on the bow.

Noticing that Li Qing had also woken up, he gave Li Qing a look, indicating that there was something going on outside and he should keep quiet. Then he reached out a hand and gently opened the tent that was blocking his view and looked outside.

I immediately saw a bird that was not too big, with a helmet-like substance on its head and a tail as wide as a palm-leaf fan.

At this moment, he was standing in front of this temporary camp, constantly turning over the supplies placed outside the tent, and it seemed that he was looking for something.

"Why is it this thing?" Ana's face looked a little unhappy, and Li Qing's face also became serious.

Monsters like the colorful bird are not very strong and are only in the middle and lower reaches of their ecological niche.

But this guy has a pretty disgusting ability, which is that it can release a loud noise that can be used to attract other monsters.

If you are not careful, the hunter will be besieged by large monsters!
Therefore, when hunters deal with colorful birds, they usually set traps or poison them, and rarely fight them head-on. Even if they do, they are elite hunters who have enough confidence in their own strength and can end the battle in a short time.

The current position of this colorful bird is very bad for Li Qing and others.

Because it was blocking the view in front of the camp and there was a tent in front of it, whether it left or actively attacked, it would be immediately noticed by the colorful bird.

But we can't just let the other party rummage through the supplies, otherwise all the supplies will be wasted, and we can just return directly from this investigation mission.

Thinking of this, Li Qing no longer hesitated. He picked up the axe gently, gave Ana a gesture, and went out from behind the tent.

Ana understood what Li Qing meant, and started drawing the bow and shooting arrows directly inside the tent, shooting an arrow through the tent!
The arrow instantly broke through the air and hit the colorful bird accurately, instantly attracting its attention as it was folding its gifts.

Li Qing had already started running, and taking advantage of the brief moment when the colorful bird turned its head, he had already approached it. He raised the axe in his hand and swung it towards the colorful bird's big head!

However, as a colorful bird that can live to such a large age, it is naturally very vigilant. Almost the moment it turned back to look at the arrow, the colorful bird had already sensed the danger.

The tail swung behind it the next second, just in time to meet Li Qing who was rushing over!
Li Qing did not expect that this colorful bird would be so alert, but he could not hold the bird's tail forcefully, otherwise the injury that had not yet fully healed would become more serious!

The axe that was swinging towards the colorful bird was retracted and hit its tail instead.

Steel and flesh collided, and although the colorful bird's tail was knocked back, there was no obvious damage!

The colorful bird took advantage of this time and quickly ran a few steps forward before turning around and looking at Li Qing.

The air sacs in the throat kept rising and falling, and the trumpet-like mouth was open, looking very angry!

In the tent nearby, Karlov and Lei had also walked out with weapons in hand. They looked at the colorful bird with serious expressions, but their eyes were on Li Qing.

They believed that Li Qing could resolve the crisis.

However, this was obviously not a good time to talk, because the colorful bird had already turned its head towards the sky, and the air sac in its throat had expanded to its limit in the blink of an eye, as if it was calling out to the monsters around it!

"Don't let it scream! Interrupt it!!"

Without being reminded by others, Ana, who had not yet come out of the tent, shot another arrow. The arrow carrying the explosive bottle exploded the moment it approached the colorful bird!
The mouth that had just opened wide and the inflated airbag were immediately swept into by the explosion, and the roar that was already on the tip of the mouth was forcibly held back!
Of course Li Qing would not give up the good opportunity created by his teammate!
"Die to me!!"

The axe in his hand transformed into a sword, slightly gathering strength backwards, then he made a big turn and rushed towards the colorful bird!

The sharp sword blade slashed across the colorful bird's long neck and smashed to the ground, leaving a deep sword mark.

The fate of this unlucky colorful bird was not much better than that of the ground.

The head, which was somewhat charred by the explosion, fell to the ground with half of its neck cut off. The blood spurting from the neck spilled onto the ground, emitting a strange stench.

The body fell to the ground and twitched twice before becoming motionless.

This annoying monster died so easily under Li Qing's axe without even being able to fight back.
