I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 18 Ambush
"why me?"

Li Ming asked curiously.

"Because everyone has just become a hunter, it will be easier to get along if we form a team together."

Chuying explained.

"Oh, it means that even if they cheat each other, they will be more accepting of each other, right?"

Li Ming said tentatively.

"That's probably what I mean. If I form a team with experienced hunters, I'm a little worried about dragging down the other party. But with you, I don't have any worries in this regard."

Chuying informed.

"Okay, let me introduce you formally. My name is Li Ming, and my weapon is a shield axe. This is my hunting cat partner Mido Duo, who has just become a hunting cat."

"Hello Chuyingmiao."

"My characteristic is that my thinking is very quick and my behavior is a little weird. I hope you can understand me more."

Li Ming informed.

"My name is Chuying, my weapon is a heavy crossbow, and my partner Bubu has just become a hunting cat. My characteristic is that I am more cautious. I usually like to fully plan before taking action. Since I am a new hunter, please bear with me if I have shortcomings."

After completing the exchange, the two came to the counter to register the team.

"The formalities are completed. If you have the idea of ​​forming a long-term team, you can give the team a name. Then as the team's hunting rating and reputation continue to accumulate, the guild may send you some special commissions with generous rewards."

Shireen suggested.

"I'm not good at naming."

Chu Ying looked at Li Ming.

"Then let's call them the ruthless team."

Li Ming raised his head to think and gave the answer.

"Ruthless Team, what a powerful name, are you sure?"

Shireen confirmed.

"That's it."

"Okay, the registration of the ruthless team has been completed. Huang Sulong's crusade contract has been stamped. This is the latest version of the sand plains map. Please go to the guild warehouse to collect the supplies. I wish you both a safe return as soon as possible!"

Shirin said as she handed over a batch of items with both hands.

On the stairs at the entrance of the guild branch, Chu Ying pointed to the gate of the sandstone cave stronghold and said, "Li Ming, I'll go get the supplies, you go put on the armor, and we'll meet at the gate of the stronghold."

Armor?What armor.
It took a moment for Li Ming to understand the meaning of Chuying's words.

"I don't have any armor at the moment, I just have a helmet."

Li Ming said, picking up the curved carapace of the earth sand dragon hanging behind him and clasping it on his head.

"Well, if you are besieged, I will do my best to cover you."

Although Chuying was surprised, she quickly accepted it.

"Well, let's go get the supplies together."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he walked towards the guild warehouse.

"Is this Li Ming really reliable?"

Bubu asked in a low voice, unsure.

"Teacher said that a hunter with outstanding talents will have a somewhat abnormal dressing style and behavior. Even if he really performs poorly, we can try our best to save his life through hard work."

Chuying informed.

"Okay meow."

Bubu reluctantly admitted.

Six bottles of recovery medicine and four boxes of food.

A barbecue grill full of grease, a simple tent with a patched tarpaulin, and a box of level 1 normal ammunition were all the supplies.

Among them, the old barbecue grills and tents need to be kept as intact as possible and brought back to the base for return. It is far better to go to the grocery store to buy brand new ones.

But both of them said that since it was free, it would be fine if they could make do with it, so they each picked up one and prepared to set off.

Regarding hunters' travel, there are actually sand boats that can be rented in the Sandstone Cave Branch, but even the price of a small sand boat is unaffordable with the remuneration of a one-star contract.

Therefore, riding the passing cargo sand boats has become the mainstream mode of travel for hunters.

The team was lucky. Without waiting too much time, they boarded a large cargo sand boat that was about to set off.

The crew members are also very willing to help hunters who maintain the ecology and ensure the safety of their strongholds.

Asked the crew about the areas where Huang Velociraptor often appeared, the other party's answer was simple. The deeper into the sand plain, the greater the possibility of encountering it.

The two discussed for a while and decided to go a little deeper than the other hunter teams.

This can not only increase the chance of encountering a group of yellow speed dragons, but the danger will not be too high.

"Hunters, be careful!"

"Got it! Have a nice trip."

Faced with the reminder from the distant sand boat, Li Ming waved goodbye.

After drinking the slightly greasy cold drink, the two of them and the two cats started walking on the satin-like sand dunes.

Li Ming and Chu Ying were responsible for the visual search, and tracking using paw prints and feces traces was completed by Mido Duo and Bubu.

While exploring along the way, Midoduo quickly located the traces of three Yellow Velociraptors through the paw prints on the sand and concluded that they were moving nearby.

"How about following this paw print?"

Chuying suggested.

"No, the opponent will run away. With Huang Velociraptor's running speed, it will be difficult for us to pursue him."

Li Ming informed.

"will run away"

Chuying was very surprised.

"Yes, Midoduo and I have confirmed this many times."

"What should I do? The sand is not suitable for digging traps."

Chuying said after thinking.

"When the other party takes the initiative to take the bait, it is best to let the other party take the initiative to find the team and create the illusion that we are the prey. If there is a weak target as bait, the success rate will definitely be further improved."

Li Ming analyzed and looked at Midoduo at the same time.

"That makes sense, meow. What do you think I'm going to do?"

Mido was stunned.

"Midodo, do you remember the heavy claw attack on the hunter?"

Li Ming asked.

"Uh you mean meow!"

Midoduo's eyes widened with an expression of surprise.

"We have a plan, but for safety's sake, we have to find a swamp."

Li Ming said, unfolding the map.

As dusk approached, three yellow velociraptors appeared under the dark purple sky.

Chuying put the tarp under her body and held the heavy ballista in a lying position to explore the surroundings and quickly locked it.

"Appeared! Three! One of them has an injured paw joint and is jumping forward on one leg."

After Chu Ying informed the information, she moved her eyes away from the scope and looked at Li Ming with some worry.

If you want to talk about the reason, it is that the plan made by the other party is too unconventional.

And
Bah~bah~
There was a dull sound of collision between earth and stone, and a gray stone man stood up from the sand.

"Very well, Midodo! Get on my back!"

"Okay meow."

"Hurry up."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he took off from the top of the sand dune, jumped up the sand slope, twisted his body a few times casually, and then slid to the bottom of the circular sand pit.

"Meow meow! Meow meow!"

Midoduo's full shout quickly attracted the attention of the yellow velociraptors at the top of the dune.

Poof~Poof~Poof!
The three yellow velociraptors moved their paws and came to the top of the circular sandpit to watch.

The person and the cat at the bottom glanced upward, and then took a stance. "Evil hunter, look at my power, meow!"

Midoduo shouted, jumped into the air, swung the cat's claws backwards, and swung forward with all his strength.

"Ugh!"

Li Ming flew upside down, screamed in pain, and slid against the ground for more than ten meters before he stopped the impact of this claw.

blah blah blah blah
The Huang Velociraptors blinked their eyes fiercely, tilted their heads left and right, and stared at the magical scene below.

It was incredible to them how weak this gray creature was to be knocked away by the Melu Cat.

"Remember! Don't do evil again, meow!"

After Midoduo finished speaking, he used his four paws together and ran towards the top of the sand pit.

The three yellow velociraptors raised their necks and looked left and right for a moment. They didn't notice any movement. Their two healthy legs and feet took the first step and ventured down into the sand pit.

The one that only landed on one leg jumped on the spot, and finally jumped up with one leg, made a big jump, and fell straight into the center of the sand pit.

The next moment, Li Ming's hand holding the charged sword suddenly tightened, and he raised his hand and stabbed straight into the sky.

puff~
The rough bone tip of the sword plunged into the abdomen of the lame Huang Velociraptor, and a little pink flesh under the skin overflowed out against the sword body.

The sudden pain in the wound frightened Huang Sulong.

But currently it had the upper hand, and Li Ming was lying down, so he turned his head to the side, opened his mouth full of tiny sharp teeth to the limit, and bit Li Ming's neck.

Ga~bang!
A few sparks flashed, and a crisp shattering sound sounded.

Several small sharp teeth filled with venom were directly crushed by the hardened mud.

Aw~ Aw~
The lame Huang Velociraptor quickly backed up.

Li Ming took advantage of the situation and withdrew the charged sword, stood up quickly, and stood still with his shield raised.

At this time, the other two Yellow Velociraptors arrived at the bottom of the pit, one on the left and one on the right, and surrounded them in a tacit understanding.

Bang!Bang!
The sound of firing from the heavy ballistae sounded from above, and the light projectiles slid down.

Puff~Puff~
Two bullets accurately overlapped and hit the head of Huang Velociraptor on the left side.

Upon seeing this, Li Ming took the initiative and rushed towards the one on the right.

Faced with the incoming sharp claws, he did not choose to defend with his shield, but instead swung his charged sword and slashed horizontally.

baah~
Sparks flew and large pieces of mud fell off.

puff~
The blade of the sword slashed past his side, causing blood to fly.

At the same time that the charged sword in his right hand was withdrawn, Li Ming stepped forward, swung his shield horizontally, and slashed Huang Speedlong's slender neck with the shield blade.

puff~
The skin on the neck was cut and blood spattered.

At this time, the charged sword in his hand had been swung back to his side. Li Ming aimed the charging slot of the shield at the tip of the sword and pressed down to insert it.

puff!

Four streams of steam erupted outward.

Li Ming quickly changed his hands to hold the hilt of the sword and swung it forward.

Boom!

The giant ax with the expanded shield blade hit Huang Velociraptor directly on the head.

Under the huge impact, Huang Speedlong's body spun twice in mid-air and fell backwards.

Li Ming didn't give the opponent a chance to breathe. He rolled forward, stood up, took two steps to run, and aimed the giant ax at his head again.

Click~bang!

There was a crisp sound of bone cracking, Huang Velociraptor's neck bent down, and his head was smashed directly into the sand.

Three white fog balls flew out, and Li Ming didn't bother to check them. He turned around and dismantled the embedded shield ax at the same time.

The moment he held the hilt of the charged sword with one hand and tried to pull it out with great force, he turned around and slashed horizontally with his sword, regardless of whether there was Huang Speed ​​Dragon behind him.

The scene he saw was much better than he expected.

The other Huang Velociraptor did not attack, but jumped left and right to avoid the incoming ballista bullets from above.

The lame one simply lost its will to fight and tried to escape from the sand pit by hopping on one leg.

After taking a short breath to regain his composure, Li Ming approached the jumping Huang Velociraptor.

Chuying immediately stopped shooting, folded the iron assault crossbow on her back, and slid down the sandy slope.

At the current distance, she could no longer guarantee that Li Ming would not be affected.

The best way is to get close to the target and shoot from a standing position.

Huang Sulong was jumping around, making Li Ming, who wanted to draw his sword several times, hold back his thoughts.

Because the swing of the charged sword is relatively cumbersome, if the strike is missed, the opponent may take the opportunity to escape.

Left, right, left, right, right, left.
"Can't you dance more regularly!"

Li Ming, who failed to find the pattern, shouted.

Huang Velociraptor paused for a moment and continued to jump left and right.

"I'll block this side!"

Chu Ying arrived with a sliding shovel, lifted the ballista, and pointed the muzzle to the left.

"I'm coming over here!"

As Li Ming spoke, he turned his body sideways and began to approach forward.

Seeing that both sides were blocked, Huang Sulong stopped bouncing and bent his legs downward to gather strength, preparing to break through with a big jump.

Chuying saw the opponent's movements, raised the crossbow to the side, and took a preview in the air.

Bang!Bang!
puff!puff!
Huang Velociraptor, who was shot, fell backwards from mid-air.

Just as he was about to stand up, a charged sword emitting heat struck him.

when!when!when!Boom!
After a burst of blows from Li Ming, the blade of the sword became soft due to the high internal heat, and the slashing immediately turned into beating with a stick.

Three fog balls flew out, and Li Ming changed targets again.

At this time, the lame Huang Speedlong, who had tried several times to jump out of the sand pit but failed, noticed two unkind eyes staring at him.

Ow!Ow!Ow!
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the lame Huang Velociraptor used his last resort, roaring to threaten.

"let me."

Seeing Li Ming raise his hand to stop him, Chu Ying immediately lowered the muzzle of the gun he had aimed at.

Insert the energy-charging sword into the energy-charging slot, and the sword body that was originally immersed in high heat will cool down quickly.

All the energy obtained from the strike and vibration is injected into the energy bottle inside the shield.

zi zi~ zi zi~
Several electric shock sounds resounded within the shield.

"Attribute! Sexuality! Liberation! Release! Kill!"

Li Ming finished speaking word by word, and used all his strength to swing the giant ax out.

The lame Huang Velociraptor was hit and flew away. At the same time, a ball of golden light was transmitted through the ax blade and condensed on its abdomen.

puff~
The golden light of the explosion dispersed and directly opened a large hole in Huang Velociraptor's abdomen.

Li Ming wanted to swing the ax again, but found that the opponent had flown too far and had fallen to the edge of the sand pit, so he used his strength to dismantle the axe.

"So tired."

The high concentration caused by the battle receded, and a strong sense of fatigue came over.

Li Ming speculated that this may be related to the fact that the silt armor is too heavy.

"Take a rest and leave the material harvesting to us."

After Chuying finished speaking, she pulled out the hunter's knife.

"It's okay, I still have to go through it. What's the name of that ritual?"

"The loving salvation ceremony, meow!"

Midoduo reminded.

"Correct."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he picked up the fog balls on the spot.

[Hopping on one leg], [Walking while injured], [Call-Huang Sulong King].

"These are useless skills."

Li Ming turned around speechlessly, but soon noticed something was wrong.
