I play the mythical beast Paloo in Monster Hunter

"Everyone! I think everyone should already know the current situation of the base. All facilities and equipment have been destroyed. If it weren't for the ancient dragon that summoned the rainstorm and drove away all the monsters along the way, we might have been surrounded by monsters now.

"Under normal circumstances, with the base destroyed, this investigation mission would have been considered a failure. Before we reorganize personnel and materials to rebuild the base, we can only choose to retreat. However, the director of the Ecological Research Institute proposed another plan, a plan that will allow us to continue to complete the investigation mission."

The human leader looked at the short director of the Ecology Institute.

"Yes, after the personnel at the front-line base join us, we actually have enough manpower to continue this investigation mission."

The director of the Institute of Ecology stood on the chair and raised his glasses.

"But the base has been destroyed like this, and it will take a lot of time to rebuild. The large monsters driven away by the ancient dragon will probably come back soon. Now is the breeding season. Without the wall blocking them, the monsters will rush directly into the base."

The director of the Materials Management Office said.

"Indeed, if we want to rebuild the investigation base, we may not have enough time." The director of the Ecological Research Institute glanced at the dark-skinned female director of the Material Institute, "But we still have another base, don't we?"

"A front-line outpost? That's certainly possible, and the geographical environment is also suitable for sea transportation, but the problem is that it is a 'transfer point' for monster migration, and a large number of large monsters that cannot fly have settled there after migrating. Isn't the reason we built two investigation outposts because the front-line outposts are too dangerous, and in order to provide a point for evacuation when the front-line outposts are lost, so we built the investigation outposts first?"

The director of the Material Management Office crossed his arms and said, "If we give up rebuilding the investigation base and move all of us to the frontline base, then when the frontline base is lost, we won't even have the chance to notify the ship to evacuate the survivors."

The meeting fell into silence. Even though several directors had already become indifferent to life and death when they joined the investigation team, this resolution concerned not only their own lives, but also the lives of all the young team members in their institute.

If they were just moving to the frontline base to wait for evacuation, she would definitely agree. After all, hiding in an underground shelter is not a panacea. Many large monsters with flexible forelimbs or good at digging holes would seriously threaten the safety of the shelter, not to mention attacks like the ancient dragon that could penetrate the ground.

The meeting fell into silence. Apparently, the director of the Institute of Ecology had not thought of any good solution at this point.

"Then..." Suddenly, the hunter representative who had been silent raised his hand, "Wouldn't it be better to let the people in the base decide for themselves whether to stay?"

"no!"

The director of the Ecology Institute even shouted faster than the director of the Materials Institute, "If that's the case, all those idiots in our institute will definitely stay."

"After all, they are a group of people who dare to extract the essence of ancient dragons."

The director of the Institute of Vegetation, who looked to be only middle-aged and had not yet entered the period of getting shorter due to old age, glanced down at the director of the Institute of Ecology who was standing on a chair and said with a wicked smile.

The director of the Institute of Ecology immediately glared at the other person, while the director of the Institute of Vegetation began to whistle nonchalantly.

Without paying attention to the two enemies, the director of the Material Institute also raised his hand, "I am against it too, because those who voluntarily leave will undoubtedly be labeled as 'deserters', which is not only bad for their future careers, but also if those of us who stay die, I am worried that those who go back may blame themselves."

"Combined with the strange looks they receive for being a 'deserter', self-blame is likely to turn into regret, leaving a psychological scar. This is indeed a problem."

The hunter representative wearing a male fire dragon suit couldn't help but nod. It was obvious that he had seen this situation more than once.

It is not uncommon for those who volunteered to join the investigation team to form a team to go hunting, only to escape alone, and finally commit suicide under strange eyes and self-blame. "The kinder a person is, the more likely they are to blame themselves."

The director of the Institute of Vegetation said absentmindedly, twirling a homemade branch pen in his hand.

The meeting fell into silence again...

Just as the team leader sighed and decided to end the meeting, the man who was previously responsible for liaison came running over.

"Captain, the ship is coming!"

In an instant, all the people who were just in distress in the meeting looked at the leader.

"No, I didn't notify the ship to pick me up!"

The team leader hurriedly explained.

So they looked at the only two front-line dragon leaders in the stronghold who had the power to decide on evacuation.

"Don't be suspicious, just go to the boat and take a look and you'll know!"

Staring back the suspicious gaze unhappily, the dragon leader jumped down from the slightly high chair and ran quickly towards the port where even the pier had been blown away.

At the port, a huge ship slowly docked at the shore. Then a wooden gangway was lowered and leaned against the bare coast, and several hunters carrying bows and heavy crossbows came out.

The uniform and neatly-fitting uniforms and the leather armor that had been specially treated made it impossible to tell what kind of monster they came from. Only the flying dragon badge hanging on their chests could prove the identity of these hunters - [Guild Knights]!

Directly under the Hunter Guild, an elite force specifically responsible for investigating new monster species and pioneering missions!

Looking at the tragic situation at the investigation base and the team leader and director running towards them, the leading woman bowed to them politely.

"Hello, everyone from the Ancient Dragon Investigation Team. We are here to assist you in continuing your Ancient Dragon Investigation."

PS:

The group is full... I'll see if I should upgrade after I get my royalties next month.

So disgusting, you have to pay an annual fee to upgrade to a group of 1,000 people...

PS2:

Because the group is full, I kicked out some people who joined earlier but were lurking and didn't talk at all. Sorry.

Chapter 74: Today's Dinner at the Black Moon Family

Early in the morning, Heiyue woke up from bed.

He had no idea what was happening in the distance, and in order to avoid leaving any smell in the base, he basically took the well-fed monster women to the open space with a paved floor outside for "assemblies" recently.

The implementation of the semi-starvation policy was quite smooth. Although there was no way to prevent the monster girl from getting sick completely, the drastic reduction in the number of times during the day also allowed Black Moon to say goodbye to the life of a 20-hour pile driver.

"Woo——"

After stretching his waist and stretching his muscles, Heiyue simply washed up and enjoyed breakfast with his monster woman.

This morning's meal was mashed potatoes made by Behemoth, using the method taught by Black Moon.

All you need to do is light a fire and boil water, then put the potatoes in a cage and steam them. When they are almost done, mash them into a paste, stir-fry them, add some salt and some green onions, and you are basically done.

If it were any other day, Black Moon's family would also serve a serving of system barbecue. Pour the delicious gravy on the mashed potatoes, then cut the barbecue into slices, roll up the mashed potatoes covered with gravy, and stuff the whole thing into their mouths.

However, due to the half-starvation policy, the barbecue was cancelled, so the carnivorous monsters, led by the Tyrannosaurus Rex, would often pout and stare at Black Moon with resentment.

In response to this, Heiyue could only shake his head helplessly and sighed: "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality!"

After breakfast, Heiyue went out with Honglong and the others to take a look at the homemade fields at home.

The few acres of land that he reclaimed through self-reliance had already sprouted tender green seedlings, which made Heiyue quite pleased.

Since there is no water truck, water is currently carried in wooden buckets. The only trouble is that people need to bend down to pull out the weeds.

Such troublesome behavior forced Heiyue to start thinking about the lawn mower. After all, it would take too long for his own water truck to be finished, so he might as well start with a lawn mower with a simpler structure.

So after helping the monster women water the plants, Heiyue went home first.

The structure of a lawn mower is not difficult. In essence, it uses several propeller-like propellors to stir up the soil, so that the weeds will not only be uprooted but also buried in the ground to become nutrients.

So after returning home, Heiyue quickly tried to make a mold out of clay, intending to test it out as a prototype.

When she came to the furnace, Zhanlong was squatting there hammering a long piece of iron. As if she smelled the scent of Heiyue, she immediately raised her head and greeted Heiyue with a bright face.

"Master! Are you going to forge anything?"

"Yes."

Heiyue held the mold he had made and said, "Can you help me melt the metal into molten iron and then pour it into this?"

"Okay~"

Zhanlong didn't hesitate at all. He picked up the piece of iron he had just been hitting and bit off the red-hot part.

Zhanlong took the mold and lowered her head. The fiery red light spread through her throat to her mouth, and then she opened her mouth.

The completely molten iron mixed with the dragon-slaying saliva slowly flowed into the mold.

Damn, it’s so astringent!

Before Heiyue could finish his sigh, Zhanlong handed a mold filled with molten iron to Heiyue.

"Master, it's done~"

"Uh-huh……"

Looking at the mold in front of him that was emitting scorching heat, Heiyue took a step back and pointed at the stone platform next to the furnace.

"Just put it over there."

Zhanlong obediently placed the mold on the stone platform.

After releasing it, it did not continue to hammer its iron, but instead stared at Black Moon with its hands behind its back, wagging its tail, as if waiting for Black Moon's next order.

This gave Heiyue a bold idea...

Unfortunately, Black Moon's courage was not enough, so he did not dare to bring it up. Shaking his head and getting rid of all the fancy ideas in his mind, Black Moon calmed down and said to Zhan Long, "Can you help me beat this thing into a leaf shape?"

Heiyue spent a few minutes explaining his requirements to Zhanlong. Once he had a rough idea of ​​what kind of Zhanlong he wanted to make, he immediately patted his chest.

"Okay, I understand. Leave it to me!"

Then, in front of Heiyue, he grabbed the semi-solid metal in the mold that had not yet completely solidified, and easily kneaded out the blades of the thorn wheel as if kneading plasticine.

Looking at such an unreasonable shaping method, Heiyue didn't know what expression to make except smiling.

Putting down Zhanlong and "entertaining himself", Heiyue, who had nothing to do while waiting for the ingredients, came to the kitchen again and taught the giant beast step by step how to knead the dough.

However, since the strength of the giant beast and Black Moon were completely on different levels, Black Moon could only knead her dough to let her feel it for herself, thus preventing the giant beast from crushing her fourth table.

When it was almost lunch time, Feng Pialong and Zaoniao, who had been out on patrol, came back.

When they returned from patrol, they not only brought back several half-meter-high eggs, but also caught several wandering rabbits with slightly sweet meat.

"Hehe~ Master, just be prepared to look forward to dinner tonight~"

Feng Piaolong puffed out his chest proudly.

Obviously, this guy didn't go on any patrol at all, but went straight to collect food.

Pressing his temples with a headache, Heiyue glanced at the two people who were excitedly discussing where to "patrol" tomorrow, and silently kicked them out of the patrol team in his heart.

It was not a big deal if the patrols were a bit sloppy in the past, but now there are seedlings in the fields, and it is the breeding season. Heiyue doesn't want his land to be destroyed by wild boars that came from nowhere one day.

So after lunch, Black Moon called on Swift Dragon and Shatter Dragon to patrol the forest again.

Then, as expected, they discovered several Elf Deer that had sneaked here, and Black Moon decisively asked Swift Dragon to go and save them all.

Raw meat and fur are added!

In addition, Black Moon also saw some Corythosaurus and Ankylosaurus on the edge of the forest.

"Is it because the competition for territory is so intense during the breeding season that they come to me?"

Although Heiyue was a little confused, he didn't care too much and turned them all into his own meat stock and took them back.

After returning to the base, Black Moon and his monster girls enjoyed a delicious dinner, just like brunch. Although the giant beasts and "young" beasts that could not grow were not half-starved, the amount of food piled on the table every time at dinner still made them stare wide-eyed.

There were fried eggs that could only fit in a washbasin, several whole roasted wild boars piled together in the shape of a "品" character, roasted mushrooms and corn as vegetarian dishes arranged in a circle around a plate, and a pot of noodles soaked in the barbecue gravy was placed in the middle for self-help, and when you scooped up the noodles you could see the sweet and sour soup made from rabbit meat and tomatoes in the pot.

The giant beast and her daughter glanced at Black Moon cautiously. Black Moon, knowing what they wanted to say, just waved her hand and denied it, "Don't look at it that way. Normally they wouldn't eat so much. It's mainly because they want to make up for the hunger they suffered during the day. That's why their dinner has become so sumptuous recently."

The giant beast did not say anything. After all, in her opinion, these foods were very high in energy, especially the black bubbling water. Even if the previous dinner was only half as much as it is now, it was amazing to be able to maintain this amount.

It has magical soil that can quickly promote the growth of food, can create stable and high-energy drinking water, and the living environment is a bit hot but still excellent. Especially after becoming what it is now, the fur can be put on and taken off freely, and you only need to take off the outermost layer to feel comfortable, and...

The giant beast looked around at the monster women who were devouring their food voraciously.

With the protection brought by the powerful tribe and the seemingly good abilities in that area, it doesn’t seem like a bad thing if his daughter could win his favor and stay?

PS:

After a day's rest, I reread my writing and felt that Chapter 73 was unnecessary?

Chapters 71 and 72 are enough to describe the human side. After all, the focus of this book is still on the protagonist, and it is enough to have a general understanding of the situation on the human side.

I can only say that I was too tired these days, and my mind was in a mess when I was coding.

PS2:

Because of sponsorship from kind-hearted people, the group has been upgraded to 2,000 people, and it seems that many people have not found the group number, so I will post it here again.

[Group number: 467795153]

One more thing, I forgot about it before.

Because I applied for this author account several years ago, I now have a very troublesome problem that I can't solve, that is, I can't log in to the Hedgehog Cat account and can only enter the author platform.

Therefore, I cannot see private messages. If any of you send one, it’s not that I’m arrogant and won’t reply, but I don’t know about it at all and can’t reply.

If you have any questions, it is recommended to post a comment. The author will take a look at the reply when he is free. (If you have joined the group, you can also privately chat with the author, who is the group owner)
