I play the mythical beast Paloo in Monster Hunter

Heiyue opened the system interface and while estimating how many levels he was still far from reaching and what materials he still lacked, he placed the Ice Fang Dragon next to the new cooler.

"You stay here. I'll go kill a few more herbivorous dragons and come back."

After saying that, Heiyue once again hurriedly ran to the terminal, used the terminal to pull back the Black Wolf Bird that was still patrolling outside, and then teleported the Black Wolf Bird, which was still unclear about its situation, back to the foot of the volcano.

"…It's really urgent."

Holding the scallop that was still being gutted, Feng Piaolong blinked, then bent down and opened the cooler beside him to take a look.

"Wow~ What a great harvest! Not only are there fungus pigs, but there are also Elf Deer and Herbivorous Dragons? It looks like everyone has indeed migrated to the edge of the volcano."

As Feng Pialong spoke, he took out a large piece of white fat meat from the cooler.

"I'm a little tired of eating fish every day these days, so why not try using chili peppers to make a seafood and land stew?~~"

Feng Pialong showed a bright smile on her face. Although Heiyue had never taught her how to make seafood and land stew, the inexplicable knowledge in her mind made her understand a lot of dishes she had heard of.

"Use the fat to make oil, and then cut some green onions, ginger and garlic to sauté... But we don't have green onions and ginger, so garlic should be fine, right?"

Feng Pialong tilted his head and couldn't help but start considering whether he should find an opportunity to go out and look for something similar.

It would have been fine if he didn't know before, but after accepting the knowledge in his mind and realizing the importance of seasoning, Feng Pialong began to feel a little dissatisfied.

"Emm...there are also cooking wine, soy sauce, and vinegar...I wonder if the master can make them."

"If you give him a little more motivation, maybe it will work?"

“Wow!?”

The sudden voice from behind scared Feng Piaolong. She turned around and saw a pair of black wings, which made her immediately understand the other person's identity.

"It's a Swift Dragon, don't scare me!"

Patting his chest, Fengpiaolong looked at Xunlong again, "You said that if you give the master a little motivation, he can make it?"

"No, I said 'maybe'. If the master can't do it, then no matter how much motivation he has, he won't be able to do it, right?"

Xunlong tilted his head and looked at Fengpiaosaurus as a matter of course.

"That's true... But how do we motivate the master? Make him something delicious?"

"No, your cooking is not as good as that of the master and the black wolf bird, right?"

"Eh--!?"

Fengpiaolong let out a surprised sound like a siren.

"But don't worry about it. After all, most of what the master and the black wolf bird cook are system dishes, right? Those things should all be added with the seasonings you mentioned, so it's normal to lose~"

Xunlong patted Fengpiaolong's shoulder, "If you have it too, maybe you can win! So - do you want to give it a try? Give the master some motivation!"

Xunlong's eyes narrowed involuntarily, and the corners of his mouth raised a little.

But before Fengpialong could speak, a white wing claw slowly rose up.

"Um, Senior... May I ask, the 'motivation' you are referring to is not..."

It's an Ice Fang Dragon.

"What's wrong? Is Ice Fang Dragon interested?" Xunlong immediately turned his attention to Ice Fang Dragon, "I remember that the master seemed very interested in your costume. If you help, maybe the effect will be better?~"

"No, I don't need to."

The Ice Fang Dragon quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"Really? That's a shame."

Xunlong looked at Bingyalong with a bit of regret, which made Bingyalong feel a bit stressed. He then changed the subject and said, "Senior, don't you plan to make some preparations?"

"Preparation? What do you mean?"

The Swift Dragon was stunned for a moment, then tilted its head to look at the Ice Fang Dragon.

"It's about fighting the Ice Curse Dragon!"

The Ice Fang Dragon replied quickly.

"Ah, that..." Xunlong suddenly realized, but then showed a troubled expression, "How should I put it?"

“I had no idea what to do.”

"……Eh?"

The Ice Fang Dragon was stunned.

"Yeah~ There's no need to be so surprised, right? After all, when we encountered this kind of situation before, didn't we just move away?"

Xunlong's face turned slightly red, but he still tried to look righteous.

"If we can beat them, we fight. If we can't, we run away. Isn't that what we have always done?

"Now we are suddenly asked to fight against someone we cannot beat. Even if we are given time to prepare, the most we can do is practice against each other, right?"

Xunlong narrowed his eyes and stared at Bingyalong. "You feel the same way, right? Do you have any other preparations besides sparring?"

“No… this…”

Facing the pressure from the Swift Dragon, the Ice Fang Dragon frowned and started thinking hard.

"that……"

One minute passed.

"should……"

Five minutes passed.

"sorry."

The Ice Fang Dragon was deflated.

"Hehe~ Let me tell you~"

Xunlong put his hands on his hips proudly, "Compared to the master, we can do too little to prepare, so I want to give the master 'motivation'?~"

"Yes, but..."

The Ice Fang Dragon lowered its head, its expression still quite hesitant.

"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if you refuse. In a month or two, even if Little Bingya doesn't want to, he will give his master the 'motivation' himself. ~"

"……Eh?"

"Hmm? Have you forgotten? In a month or two, it will be the breeding season~"

Xunlong smiled brightly.

"...!!!"

Next level: New arrival: Chapter 42: Increase endurance!

At the foot of the volcano, Black Moon, who had no idea what was happening in the base, was holding the black wolf bird's feet and looking around in the air, searching for minerals that could be collected.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Black Moon and Tyrannosaurus (mainly Tyrannosaurus), Black Moon's level has unknowingly reached the noble level 41.

Not only does it unlock a better quality spa, it also unlocks a refrigerator and an electric kitchen.

However, since both the refrigerator and the electric kitchen require electricity to start, Heiyue can only put these two technologies aside for the time being and point out other technologies that he can currently use.

As for the attribute points gained from upgrading, after repeated consideration, Heiyue decided to add a few points of weight first to see how it goes.

"Emm... I don't feel anything special."

I opened the system backpack and took a look, and found that the weight limit had indeed increased.

So Heiyue took out his shield axe and swung it a few times, but he didn't feel any easier and couldn't help but sigh.

"So adding weight only affects the backpack's carrying capacity..."

Although he had realized it a long time ago, Heiyue still couldn't help feeling a sense of loss when it was actually confirmed.

After all, he had discovered when he first crossed over that his backpack was clearly heavy enough, but he just couldn't swing it after equipping it. No matter how he thought about it, it shouldn't be a problem of weight.

"In this case, the two attributes of working speed and load limit should be the ones that completely increase the system's capabilities, right?

"If I can create a cleansing potion in the future, I can consider it, but for now, let's focus on HP, attack, and stamina."

Looking at the three attributes on the system interface, Heiyue considered for a long time and finally decided to put all the remaining attribute points into physical strength (endurance).

This is mainly due to the two attributes of HP and attack, which Black Moon does not need so urgently at the moment:

The former is because of the unlimited resurrection and the high attack of the ancient dragon. With my current attribute points, adding it is just the difference between one piece of paper and two pieces of paper.

The latter is because he can already wield heavy weapons such as shield axes normally.

On the contrary, lack of endurance is Black Moon's most troubling problem at the moment.

Because there is no relationship between [Defense Enhancement] and [Defense Performance Enhancement], Black Moon will consume a lot of stamina every time he defends and performs gp.

Although Black Moon could take a short rest and quickly recover his stamina by adjusting his posture and attracting the attention of other monster girls as he did in the past, this was not a long-term solution.

After all, Black Moon didn't plan to use only the shield axe as a weapon for his entire life. After learning the lesson from the Ice Fang Dragon, he realized that the monsters in this world might be as despicable as those in the ice field. It was obviously impossible for Black Moon to hang himself on the tree of shield axe.

"Once your stamina is high, it should be much easier to use dual swords and bows and arrows."

Having said that, Heiyue added all the remaining attribute points to physical strength.

A warm current spread out from the body, along the meridians of the body to spread to every part, making Heiyue feel indescribably comfortable.

"Awesome!"

He opened the backpack, cut out the shield axe again, and Black Moon tried to swing it a few more times.

Although the strain of swinging remained the same, the increase in endurance made Heiyue feel as if he could swing the sword all day long.

"Not bad, not bad, I like it very much~"

Licking the corner of his mouth, Heiyue was already a little impatient to show his monster girl how much strength he had improved.

But we will talk about tonight at night. For Black Moon which has not yet entered nightfall, the most important thing is to prepare for the battle as soon as possible before the temperature drops further.

"The new materials required are three minerals: pure crystal, sulfur, and coal. With the abundance of resources in Monster Hunter, this isn't a difficult task. However, I'm sure Blue Bearmon will have to work overtime to make them.

"As for the rest, I need to get some gunpowder grass and piercing fruit. When I get home, I'll make a Swift Dragon Crossbow that can help the Ice Curse Dragon to relieve itself.

"Fire bonito and flaming swordfish... The Palu system doesn't have a fishing rod. I don't know if a homemade one would work. Or I could just use the luminous slime mold to blow them up directly. Anyway, there's no anti-explosion method here."

Heiyue stroked his chin while trying to figure out what else he could do.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that ancient dragons are not susceptible to traps, Black Moon would have wanted to slap the stronghold in front of the opponent, and then use the characteristics of the stronghold that allows him to directly call upon the materials stored in the stronghold to set up a bunch of traps to control the Ice Curse Dragon to death.

"Eh? Wait, the base is slapping you in the face?"

Heiyue seemed to remember something. He looked up at the surrounding terrain and then at the volcano not far away.

"It seems... it's not impossible?"

A wicked smile suddenly appeared on Heiyue's lips.

"Hehe~ Just wait, I will never let Lord Ice Curse Dragon down~"

…………

……

After a full day of exploration, Black Moon has found several mining sites at the volcano and a suitable location to build a new base.

So after returning to the base, Black Moon went to the ranch to find Broken Dragon and the others who were bored, and also checked the slime mold and lubricant produced in the past few days.

"Wow~ That's a lot. Do you feel any discomfort?"

Heiyue looked back at the Shattering Dragon and Bubble Fox Dragon behind him.

Bubble Fox Dragon shook his head, "No, probably nothing except being bored."

"After a while, those things suddenly came out on their own. I thought my exercise had paid off, and I was so happy for nothing."

Broken Dragon hung his head, feeling extremely frustrated.

"It's okay. Tomorrow I'll take you out to play with the new 'sandbags'. They're hard!"
