I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 1 Meru Cat Tribe

The scorching sun was in the sky, the scorching heat wave swept across the desert, and the undulating curves of the sand dunes became blurred and distorted.

In the ring-shaped grotto eroded by the wind on the dusky mountain, several pointed tents with dark red cat claw marks on their tarpaulins are arranged around the campfire.

Several black cats with pure black hair and half a man's height, standing upright with their paws on the ground, surrounded a four-wheeled wooden flatbed truck for maintenance.

Inside the camp, under the shadow of the grotto wall, Li Ming, wearing bear pajamas, was lying on a tattered straw mat with his legs crossed.

He is a time traveler who visited the Monster Hunter World a month ago.

Li Ming only knew about this world where monsters were rampant and the living environment was extremely harsh in the game.

When he first arrived, he thought that becoming a great hunter and leaving a mark in the world of monster hunting was just around the corner.

Only one day later, Li Ming slightly lowered his requirements for himself and changed his goal to survive until tomorrow in this desert wasteland.

After surviving for three days with little knowledge of survival in the wild, the Melu cat tribe in front of him took him in.

Unlike the Elu cats, which are familiar to hunters, the Mer cats, which are known to steal from humans and whose overall fur is mainly black, have always been on the alert.

But compared to struggling to survive alone in the sand plains, living in this tribe is the best choice right now.

Perhaps influenced by the highly friendly atmosphere of the Monster Hunting World, the Melu Cats did not have excessive demands on Li Ming.

By completing two cats' daily camp maintenance work every day, occasionally helping a rescue flatbed truck get out of a swamp, and pretending to be a hunter to intimidate the Yellow Velociraptor tribe, you can receive a steady supply of food.

For humans, the portions of food customized by Mel Cat are pitifully small. What’s even more difficult is that Li Ming’s food intake has skyrocketed since he visited the Monster Hunting World.

Looking for something to eat every day to fill his stomach has become his current life theme.

boo~ boo~
The pale pink cat's paw pads trample on the dry sand, leaving a series of plum blossom-shaped paw prints.

Wearing a red scarf and a black coat, Midodo, a melon cat, hunched over and held a plate of fiery red tropical strawberries, and quickly ran to the straw mat.

"Li Ming, did Ichigo Kurosaki rescue Rukia?"

Midoduo asked eagerly as his cat ears stood up.

Li Ming turned around and lay on his side, picked the largest strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth. He responded while chewing: "Uh~uh~ I can't remember clearly."

Midoduo's eyes darkened, and he pinched the outer edge of the plate with his cat's claws, ready to put it away immediately.

"Don't worry, I recalled and rescued you."

Li Ming said, and quickly stuffed another tropical strawberry.

"Awesome nya! So has Naruto found Sasuke?"

"Have you also been told this story?"

"I told you, meow! Just last night."

"found it."

"That's great meow!"

Meluma said, happily putting down the dinner plate.

Li Ming traveled here and had nothing else except a set of blue bear pajamas.

Fortunately, there is a lack of entertainment activities here. One of the ways to fill their stomachs is to tell stories to the Mellu cats in front of the campfire at night in exchange for food.

Midoduo is the most enthusiastic listener in the tribe and the one who donates the most food. He can be said to be Li Ming's "big brother".

On the four-wheeled flatbed truck, Elle, the leader of the Melu Cat Tribe with binoculars slung across his body and a one-eyed patch, waved his cat paw and shouted: "Midodo, come quickly, the rescue team is about to leave, meow."

"Here you go, meow! I'll come to you to hear the details of the story after I complete the mission."

Midoduo used all four claws and ran away quickly.

"The hunter team preparing for the rescue this time is in the fourth area of ​​Sand Plains, let's go!"

The leader Aile gave an order, and all the cats worked together to push the flatbed truck, creating a cloud of dark yellow smoke.

Bang!
The small double wooden door on the rock wall of the camp was knocked open, and the flatbed truck rushed out of the grotto and quickly disappeared on the sand dune.

Following the hunter team on first-aid evacuation missions accounts for a large proportion of the income of the Melu Cat Tribe.

Every time you successfully rescue a hunter and send a seriously injured person to a wild camp, you will receive one-third of the total hunting contract fee.

However, the risk is also quite high. Although the ground-breaking escape technique is an essential skill for Mel cats, unfortunately reality is not a game. Elu and Mel cats will also die if they encounter severe injuries while participating in hunting.

The many small graves around the grotto camp were left by cats.

It will take at least a week to carry out the rescue mission. If you don't want to starve to death, you still have to go hunting.
Li Ming touched his shriveled belly, stood up from the straw mat, and poured all the tropical strawberries on the plate into his backpack as a food reserve.

Before the Meilu Cat Rescue Team sets off, they will take away all the food supplies from the camp. This is not to prevent Li Ming from stealing, but the time of return depends on when the hunter team completes the hunting mission.

Once the hunting progress of the hunter team is not going well, the return date will be postponed, so there must be sufficient guarantee of food.

In the recessed cavity of the rock wall of the camp, there is an oval stone with dark red cat claw marks. It is called the Meow God Altar by the Meru cats.

Under the altar, trivial tributes were piled up like garbage.

Pieces of rope knots, medicine bottles with cracks on the bottle, wooden vines, small wooden barrels without tops, small wooden barrels without tops, leftover fish bones
There are all kinds of strange things that Meru cats offer to the cat god.

Li Ming rummaged among them for a while, picked up a piece of red dried meat, smelled it to make sure it was not rotten, blew on the dust attached to it, and then put it in his mouth.

"Hmm~hmm~it tastes good."

While chewing hard, a comment floated out.

Stealing the Meow God's tribute can, of course, only be done when there are no Meows in the tribe.

After constantly digging through the pile of tributes, and after eating about two minutes full, Li Ming clasped his hands together and imitated the daily prayers of Melu cats.

"Great cat god, I'm about to go hunting. Although I'm not a Mer cat, please protect me by the way."

After speaking with a pious expression, a series of foggy and fuzzy fonts gradually became clear before his eyes.

You have obtained [Meow God’s Spiritual Protection (Small)].

Effect: Blessed by the Meow God, there is a small probability of reducing the damage received within three days.

The atomized font lasted for a moment and dissipated into the air.

"Did the tributes eat too much? The elf protection I gave last time was still at an intermediate level."

Li Ming muttered in confusion.

It is not yet clear where this ability to see skill names comes from. It can only be identified as some kind of cheat finger with simple functions.

Next is the preparation before hunting.

Because the location is too remote, Li Ming has not yet had contact with humans in the monster hunting world.

However, in this month, I still learned a lot of hunting-related information from Midodona.

Combining his experience in monster hunting games and his accumulation of perception of the environment, he summed up a fairly applicable hunting process.

The first step is to collect equipment and supplies before traveling.

Arriving at the campfire in the center of the camp, there were many half-strips of sharpened stones left on the sand.

Midoduo said that these were leftovers from hunters and were just perfect for polishing short cat weapons, so they brought them back to the camp every time they were picked up.

Li Ming sat cross-legged on the sand, took out a short curved knife, and scraped and polished the blade.

This short sword could definitely be regarded as a fierce weapon in the world it once lived in.

But in the world of monster hunting, it is only called a hunter's knife, which is specially used for cutting materials or temporarily serving as a kitchen knife.As for the source, it was also picked up by Midoduo in the wild.

呲~呲~
Sparks flew and polished dozens of times. Li Ming raised the blade to observe.

The sharp blade illuminated by the scorching sun flashed a sharp cross.

In order to cause effective damage to monsters covered with hard carapace, the weapons in Monster Hunting must be powerful and heavy, or extremely sharp.

The hunter's knife that Li Ming was going to use for hunting was obviously not a conventional hunting weapon.

But in the Melu Cat Tribe, there are only walking sticks and daggers that are suitable for holding with cat claws. In comparison, these are already the most convenient.

And even if there were hunter weapons available, Li Ming felt that it would be difficult to wield them with his current physical fitness.

We came to the edge of the dry well in the camp and borrowed a rope to descend.

In the damp and cold underground cave, an underground river with cold water flows through it.

After filling up the leather water bag, Li Ming climbed out of the well and returned to the surface. He put away the scroll-shaped map and put on a bamboo hat.

With the equipment and supplies ready, Li Ming bent down and walked through the cave entrance, closing the two small wooden doors.

The last member to leave the camp was responsible for the concealment work. He picked out two tumbleweeds piled under the rock wall and fixed them in front of the door with a knot, which was considered to have completed the blocking of the entrance.

After walking on the warm sand for some time, he unrolled the banner scroll.

This sand plain map with a flying dragon paw print in the upper left corner, judging from the date, was released by the Sandstone Cave Branch of the Hunter Guild a year ago.

In addition to giving detailed directions, the map also provides reminders of the activity areas of high-risk monsters.

The bright red warning marks respectively indicate the approximate range of activities of Ceratopsaurus and Zhanlong in the sand plain.

Due to factors such as monster migration and observation information updates, this map has long lost its timeliness.

Fortunately, the Melu Cat Tribe also does a lot of investigation work on the whereabouts of powerful monsters. If there are any unusual signs of activity recently, Li Ming would rather go hungry than go hunting.

After traveling for about an hour, after climbing over a sand dune, a pool surrounded by green plants appeared in view.

Li Ming immediately crawled down and started to wait and see.

Three carapaceous herbivorous dragons with curved backs like turtle shells were walking slowly on their four feet, looking leisurely and casual.

Although it is the lowest species in the sand original ecological niche, for Li Ming at the moment, the opponent's head and tail hammer with sharp bone spurs are still very threatening.

It is obviously unwise to attack from the front.

Two big and one small, these three carapace-eating herbivorous dragons should be a family of three, so we have to find a way to separate them first.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ming felt that the juvenile monster was active and inexperienced, making it the best target.

Lower your breathing, lighten your steps, and bend down to explore.

sand ~ sand ~
It wasn't until he hid in the grass outside the oasis that he dared to open his mouth to breathe and calm down.

After a moment, he aimed at the young carapace-eating herbivorous dragon and threw a stone.

pat~

The stone fell on the back armor, making a crisp banging sound. The three dragons shook their necks at the same time and looked around.

The doubts of the two adults quickly disappeared, and their tail hammers continued to sweep on the ground, pacing slowly.

The young dragon, full of curiosity and energy, did not give up. He kept turning his body with his four feet, trying his best to find out who threw the stone.

sand~sand~
When his eyes turned here, Li Ming saw the right moment, grabbed the branches and leaves of the grass and shook them slightly.

The young carapace-eating dragon stood still and watched.

Hey~
The young carapace-eating dragon suddenly turned its head and roared towards the two adults, then thrust its neck forward, facing the direction of the grass, as if to inform it of its important discovery.

Li Ming's eyes darkened when he saw this, and he began to make plans for retreat.

Fortunately, the two adults didn't pay attention and just looked back.

bang~ bang~
A series of hoof prints were left on the moist sand by the lake, and the young dragon slowly explored.

Although it is a baby dragon, this carapace-eating herbivorous dragon is still five meters long. If you want to kill it as quickly as possible, you can only attack at its weak points.

Li Ming held his breath and stared at the lower part of his stretched neck.

The tight and plump skin there has not yet formed the rough and thick cuticle like the adult body. Under the slanting sunlight, it flashes with golden arcs in the form of bands.

Okay, that's it, come here quickly.
Li Ming slightly raised the tip of the hunter's knife he was holding, and found a smooth angle suitable for thrusting with all his strength.

puff~
The bright silver tip pierced the neck from below, and thick blood dripped down the blade.

No, it's too shallow
Li Ming, who was crouching, stood up, crossed his feet on the ground, put his left palm against the handle of the knife, and pushed forward with all his strength.

Pooh!

The blade of the knife penetrated deeply, and a ball of blood spurted out.

Hey~
Hearing the painful whimpering from the young dragon, the two adult carapace-eating dragons reacted quickly, quickly turned around and rushed towards them.

Seeing that there was not much time left, Li Ming changed his hands to hold the handle of the knife, exerted force sideways, and used the deep blade to perform horizontal cuts.

呲~
The blade that cut the throat emerged from the side of the neck.

The young dragon retreated while its heavy breathing continued to intensify.

Seeing a large amount of blood gushing out from the wound, Li Ming turned around and ran away after achieving his goal.

Ow!Ow!
Two adult carapace-eating dragons roared in anger.

Although they have enough speed to rush and collide, they are still very lacking in endurance and ability to change direction.

Li Ming, who wanted to escape, quickly got rid of the pursuit.

Panting hard, he looked back at the pool.

The adult female returned to the collapsed baby dragon and gently pressed her head against the other's forehead to comfort him.

Not long after, the baby dragon's head dropped into the blood-soaked sand, and its eyes lost their luster.

The male adult stared for a moment, let out a low growl, and then turned around and started walking, as if he was numb to the pain of losing his cub.

The adult female was pacing around the corpse of the young dragon, but some carnivorous monsters that were sensitive to the smell of blood might be on their way in pursuit and would soon leave.

"I'm sorry, I'm not strong enough now, otherwise I would definitely reunite your family."

Seeing the two dragons gradually moving away, Li Ming let out a sigh.

In the dangerous sand plain area, there is no time to reminisce about the joy of the first successful hunt.

Quickly run to the baby dragon's body and pull out the hunter's knife from the scabbard on the back of your waist.

Just when he was about to try to harvest the material, Li Ming was stunned.

Next to the baby dragon's body, three white mist masses were floating against the sand.

"Skill. Young Dragon Head Hammer"

Seeing clearly the characters appearing in one of the fog masses, Li Ming vaguely guessed a possibility.

　I am very busy at work, so I can only code at night. Typos and bugs will be corrected together.
