Brave the world of monster hunting with a pokeball

Chapter 28 Pas de deux

Whoa!Whoa!
There was a sound of liquid splashing.

The monster had four claws, but it didn't touch the ground and crawl. Instead, it twisted and slithered on the mucus released by the purple mane under its body, just like a snake.

Under the reflection of the setting sun, the water-stained scales showed a rainbow-like crystal luster.

beep!beep!beep!
As it slides, air bubbles rise from the mucus and spill outward.

Bubble Fox Dragon!
Li Fan recognized the type of monster at first glance.

However, the sudden appearance of the Paohulong was too frightening, causing the brain to fall into a short-circuit state.

Due to his lack of knowledge about Monster Hunting World before, Li Fan didn't feel any pressure even when he met Thunder Wolf Dragon.

Let alone encountering it now, even if you act within its range of activities, you will feel terrified.

How to do?
With the help of Kuku, Samsung scratching the bird almost overturned.

The five-star level monster Paohulong, not to mention various characteristics, is about 20 meters long in terms of body length.

This is simply impossible to fight!

"Li Fan, you and Di Lu leave first."

Yudora stared at Paohulong vigilantly, and touched the hilt of the sword with one hand.

But before touching it, Li Fan grabbed his wrist.

"Wait, there are no obvious wounds on the body of this Paohulong, and according to literature records, unless it is in the breeding period, Paohulong is not very aggressive."

Li Fan informed softly.

For monsters with a gentle personality and extremely strong strength.

Trade unions generally won't provoke them.

In the long run, this kind of monster naturally has no ill feeling towards the hunters it encounters.

However, this common sense would not apply to individuals who had been hunted down by hunting teams, or who hated humans for some special reasons.

Li Fan carefully observed the whole body of this bubble fox dragon.

The mane is bright, the scales are neat, and the leaf-like pink fins on the back are not missing at all.

The most important thing was that the Paofulong was clearly aware of their team's existence, and it was still gliding leisurely and slowly, showing no willingness to fight.

"Ok."

Yudora no longer had the intention of drawing her sword to fight, but she still didn't dare to shift her gaze for a moment.

Huh! Huh!
Paohulong twists its body in a snake-like manner, forming a ring with its head and tail facing each other, sliding and turning in circles on the spot.

Under the friction of the mucus, more than a dozen huge air bubbles spread out.

Di Lu stared blankly at a giant bubble floating towards him.

When he thought about turning around and fleeing, the bubbles had already surrounded him.

Snapped!Li Fan picked up the hunter's knife and smashed the air bubbles, and the terrified Di Lu had to escape.

Bubblefox appears to be sensitive to the sound of bubbles collapsing.

But after only watching the team for a moment, he turned his attention elsewhere.

Not long after, Paohulong's whole body lay down comfortably, its two front paws intertwined on the ground, and the white fox rested its head on it.

Following Paohulong's gaze upwards, Li Fan looked sideways at the sky full of sunset glow, and said with some surprise: "He is also looking at the rainbow."

This crisis-ridden encounter ended with the safe evacuation of the team.

Back at the camp, it was already evening.

Perhaps it was because of the shock that they suffered today, both of them had no appetite, so they had a hasty dinner and decided to go to bed early.

Tomorrow morning, rush back to Kara Village as quickly as possible, and report the sighting of Bubble Fox Dragon.

This is not about trying to earn a first sighting fee, but really worrying about Kara Village.

Li Fan tossed and turned, not feeling sleepy at all.

Meeting Paohulong today made him feel his own weakness for the first time.

When facing the scratching bird, he also felt very uncomfortable.

If there is an accurate description, it is the fear of monsters.

A deep and instinctive fear.

"Eudora, are you asleep?"

"No."

"Have you ever been afraid when facing a monster?"

Li Fan asked.

"Yes, I used to be very scared when I faced a hard armored dragon for the first time in my hometown Dongduoluma."

"And then? How did you adapt to it?"

"I don't know. Two ribs were broken that time. I feel that the Ankylosaurus is nothing more than that. I won't be afraid when I see it again."

Eudora responded.

"Aren't you afraid that you will die?"

"The monster will die if it is killed."

Yudora's surprised brain circuit made Li Fan understand why the other party dared to draw the sword against Paohulong.

"Of course, I also have a choice when it comes to uncovering the hunting mission. I will be desperate when I encounter danger, but I have persisted. If I want to say the trick to overcoming fear, it is to keep telling myself that even if the monster's attack hits, it will not kill me." It's not as painful as I imagined in my head, and I've been able to hold on for a while. The one I'm afraid of may be the monster."

Eudora spoke of experience.

Li Fan has never heard of this statement, but he has a little understanding.

Open a booklet summarizing strength training methods.

The body's ability to resist blows and endure pain will also increase with the increase in strength, which is recorded, but a question mark is drawn at the back to represent that it has not been confirmed.

The next day, just after dawn, the team had dismantled the camp and turned back on the road.

We rushed back to Kara Village before noon.

"Welcome to the Hunter's Guild!"

As soon as Eudora stepped through the gate of the union, Shireen greeted her.

"Hello Shireen, hunting certification plus submitting the contract."

"Why isn't Li Fan here!"

Shirene glanced at the contract and covered her mouth in surprise.

"Li Fan is fine. He was looking after the captured scratching bird outside the village. He heard that the investigators of the guild had been dispatched to monitor Thunder Wolf Dragon, and the wild hunting certification would be delayed, so he simply found the cat transport team."

Eudora explained.

"So that's the case. The union's hunting supplies were cut off yesterday, and the only ones that can still carry it are the cat transport team. So, I'll find time in the afternoon to do the certification. The place is the woodland cabin, right?"

As Shirene said, she recorded it in a manuscript.

"Yes, thank you very much."

"It doesn't matter. Being able to share the work for the investigators who are in danger in the wild can be regarded as contributing to the village and the trade union."

Shireen smiled.

"There is another sighting report to be submitted. This is a sample of monster traces collected by the village hunting cat Dilu."

"Oh, what substance is this?"

Shirin curiously picked up the glass bottle and observed it.

"The bubbling slip of the Bubble Fox."

"Bubble Fox Dragon!!!"

Shireen cried out in disbelief.

The originally noisy trade union hall was instantly quiet, and all the hunters focused on the counter.

"Shireen, you're causing panic like this."

The waitress in pink next to her got up and reminded her in a low voice.

"Sorry, Jaina."

After Xilin finished speaking, she approached Udora and asked for confirmation in a very small voice: "Although you are a three-star hunter, because of this attack report, it may have a major impact on Kara Village, so I want to confirm again, are you really Have you ever seen a Bubble Fox Dragon?"

"That's right, and it's not far from the Thunder Wolf Dragon's range of activity."

Eudora said firmly.

"Okay, I will report it to the branch president immediately, and this bottle of foaming synovial fluid will be appraised as soon as possible. The reward for witnessing has to be postponed, please understand."

"no problem."

Eudora felt a little relieved when she came out of the hunting union.

If the sighting report is found to be valid, not only will there be rewards, Dilu will also be directly promoted from a one-star hunter to a two-star hunter.

But at this time, Dilu didn't show how happy she was.

A five-star thunder wolf dragon has no way to deal with it, and another five-star bubble fox dragon appears.

The situation of Kara Village can be said to be precarious.

In the forest farm outside the village, Li Fan looked at the scratching bird in the wooden fence, and remembered that he hadn't checked the attributes yet, so he took out his handheld.

【Scratch Bird】Male (unnamed)
Rating: 8
HP: 378/1104
Status: ok
Power: 49
Agility: 22
Intelligence: 31
Skill: [Exploration of Oviparous Nests] Scratching Bird can accurately find the nests of oviparous monsters in complex environments.

【Grassing, Hugging and Smashing】The scratching bird can use its flexible front claws to hold objects tightly and smash them.

Introduction: An ornithosaurus monster, the gorgeous feathers on the top of the head are full of personality.

It likes to steal all kinds of dragon eggs to eat, so it has become the number one enemy of many egg-laying monsters.

What the hell is this state?Do you mean neither good nor bad?

Forget it, it's meaningless to delve into it. Anyway, there will be scratching birds in the future, so you don't have to worry about the safety of Taimei.

Although there is no label on the data, the carrying capacity of those powerful hind legs similar to jumping dragons must be higher than that of Taimei.

Since I like pot-shaped objects so much, let’s call you pots.

After naming the bird, Li Fan checked the unread messages on the handheld.

No rewards, no unlocks.

Naturally, it is boring to watch.

However, Kuku's favorability change prompt quickly caught Li Fan's attention.

From the point of view of time, it was the first time to chase and intercept the scratching bird and start the battle.

Kuku's favorability towards him first decreased once, and then increased three times in a row.

Li Fan analyzed the reason, and the first decrease may be due to his weak combat performance, which made Kuku feel that he was not very good.

The subsequent combat command made him feel that his professor's backward jumping fireball was indeed useful in actual combat, so he once again brought back his favor.

The second increase in favorability should be due to the qi blade slash to save Kuku who fell on his back and divert hatred.

The third increase in goodwill came from the fusion skill, the chaotic slash of the human-bird fusion.

It's funny to say that this so-called fusion technique was simply created by Li Fan.

Unexpectedly, Kuku took it seriously at that time, and rushed over to try to show it to him.

From this, Li Fan concluded that monsters are obviously more willing to follow a sufficiently powerful master.

At least for now.

If you are cowardly and weak in battle, monsters will also dislike you.

At noon, Xilin hurried over, completed the hunting certification of scratching the bird, paid the reward, and left in a hurry.

She said that the confirmed sighting of Paohulong put the branch in a somewhat chaotic situation, and she had to rush back as soon as possible.

In the evening, Yudora, who came back from Kara Village, was not in a hurry to cook, but informed about the urgent mission of the joint hunting, which would be carried out in the village.

Because it concerns the safety of all villagers, anyone can go to the scene to listen to the situation.

"It won't be a situation where a table of people discuss for a long time, and in the end only a person who is not very talkative goes out to hunt, right?"

Li Fan recalled the past in the Xingchen stronghold, and asked tentatively.

"Of course not. Even if three-star hunters participate in a joint hunting mission of this level, they are probably in charge of logistics or cover. The ones who can actually participate in the battle are at least four-star hunters."

Eudora explained.

"Let's go then."

Li Fan also felt that he was worrying too much.

At the gate of the Hunter's Guild, under the reflection of dozens of torches.

Four tables formed a large square table, on which a map depicting the surrounding terrain of Kara Village was tiled.

When Li Fan and Udora arrived, they were surrounded by villagers and hunters, and they stood on the outermost side.

The village head, Bazeli, and a young man wearing a full set of rock dragon armor are located in the center behind the table, and several trade union investigators stand on both sides.

Bazeley cleared his throat, and began to speak with a solemn expression.

"Through the sighting report and the on-site confirmation by the union investigators, after the Thunder Wolf Dragon, the union confirmed that a Pao Fox Dragon was found around Kara Village."

With the double certification of Bazeley and the Hunter Union, the rumors were confirmed, and the crowd exploded in an instant.

"After discussing with the branch leader Harun, we decided to issue an emergency joint hunting mission. Let Harun announce the details of the mission."

After Bazeley finished speaking, he took two steps back to the side.

"Hello, everyone. Since I was transferred, I have been busy with the construction of public camps in the wild. I rarely show up in the village. Now I would like to introduce myself. I am the president of the Kara Village Branch of the Hunters Guild. I am the five-star hunter Harun. Threat, the guild has been working hard to improve. After analysis, Thunder Wolf Dragon has recently shown a strong aggressiveness, which is probably caused by a turf battle with Pao Fox Dragon. A set of repelling plans mainly to provoke monsters to fight, but the hunters currently recruited are very limited. Since it is unlikely that there is a hunter team with sufficient qualifications to undertake the task alone, a joint hunt is launched for all hunters residing in Kara Village recruit."

After Harlan finished speaking, he spread out an extra long and wide scroll contract on the table.

"It's totally invisible."

It was already dark at night, and even if Li Fan on the periphery stood on his feet, he couldn't see what was written in the contract at all.

"It's okay, this joint hunting contract will be announced in the union hall tomorrow."

Eudora told.

"I understand. This public announcement is to mobilize the hunters in the village to participate in the union's plan as much as possible."

As soon as Li Fan finished speaking, Harun and the members of the trade union investigation team signed the scroll contract one by one and pressed their fingerprints.

Then several hunters stepped out from the crowd and signed the scroll contract.

A young hunter wearing a two-star hunting medal came to the table without hesitation, but before he picked up his pen, he was dismissed because of insufficient stars.

Udora lifted the blue bear beast wrist armor on his hand, turned sideways and was about to squeeze into the crowd.

"what are you doing?"

"Go and sign the contract."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Li Fan reminded: "Give me the great sword of bones first, otherwise it will be difficult to squeeze in front."

"Thank you."

Yudora took off the great bone sword and handed it over.

What Li Fan really wanted to say was to persuade Udora not to participate in the joint hunting.

Because in terms of the degree of danger, even if the idea of ​​the trade union is to provoke monsters to fight against the repelling plan, the degree of danger is too high.

But after thinking about it, whether it is forest land or research institutions, they all rely on Kara Village.

If Kara Village is gone, all of Yudora's efforts will be in vain.

One after another, hunters left their names on the scroll contracts. After signing, a young hunter asked a question.

"Village Chief, since this mission is rated as five-star, it still needs the hunter's signature, why is there no name?"

In the world of monster hunting, every joint hunt will be regarded as a war by the union and recorded in the records.

"It's like this. Due to the urgency of the matter, the name of the task has not yet been calibrated."

Harlan explained.

Bazelli looked at the full moon in the sky, and stroked his beard with a deep expression.

"Just call it Pas de Deux under the Moon."
