Chapter 2 Weird Ability
Could it be that there are skills inside?
Li Ming thought as he gently poked the white fog ball twice with his fingers.

Soon, a cloud of mist floated up and turned into fonts.

[Baby Dragon Head Hammer] 1 star

Skill introduction: The baby dragon performs a headbutt attack, swings its head back to gain momentum, and launches a violent impact forward.

Looking at the other two suspended fog balls in the same way, Li Ming saw the skill introductions of [Baby Dragon Tail Flick] and [Carapace Herbivorous Dragon Back Armor Strengthening].

The effects are to rotate the body, swing the tail hammer to attack the enemy, and transmit more nutrients to the back armor, making it grow harder and increase the defense strength.

These two skills seemed to be more practical than the baby dragon's headbutt, but Li Ming quickly noticed something was wrong.

The skills in the fog ball are obviously for the carapace-eating herbivorous dragon. As a human, I don't have a tail hammer or a back armor, so I can't activate it at all.

However, thinking that it was all for nothing anyway, Li Ming picked up the [Baby Dragon Tail Swing] and prepared to take them back to study together.

At this time, the other two fog balls suddenly began to fade and shrink.

Let go of your hands and let [Baby Dragon Flick] return to the ground and float, and the outlines of the other two fog balls will become clear again.

Good guy, you still have to choose one of three.

Li Ming struggled for a moment, and finally picked up the fog ball with [Baby Dragon Head Hammer]. After all, compared to the other two skills, he at least had a head that could successfully activate the skills.

bang~ bang~
The other two fog balls exploded into gray smoke after fading to a certain extent.

He had no luggage, and when he was thinking about how to carry the fog ball, Li Ming lowered his head and saw a fog hole appearing on his chest.

Slowly moving his hands backwards, he found through comparison that the size of the hollow in his chest matched the size of the fog ball.

Is this a skill slot?

With a trying mentality, Li Ming stuffed the fog ball into his chest.

Call ~
A wisp of smoke floated, forming a string of characters in front of my eyes.

The skill [Baby Dragon Headbutt] has been loaded.

With the prompt, the smoke and dust dispersed, and the fog ball disappeared together with the cavity.

Li Ming touched his chest repeatedly, but didn't notice anything unusual.

"What a strange ability, but I don't have time to study it in depth right now."

After muttering something, Li Ming began to decompose the young dragon's body.

Monster corpses with sufficient value in the monster hunting world will be transported to villages and towns for professional decomposition, and the complete materials stripped can be used to build armor and weapons.

When the hunter team completes the hunt, they can also peel off some surface materials.

Monsters that are widely distributed like the Crustacean Herbivorous Dragon have some value except for the keels on their adult bodies, and are generally used as a source of meat for hunters in the wild.

But for Li Ming now, the young dragon in front of him is full of treasures.

If the Merlu cats had not sent out on a rescue mission, he would have liked to use a four-wheeled flatbed truck to transport the body back to the camp.

Puchi~呵啦~
Li Ming took off his bear pajamas, and with the sound of blood splattering and cutting, he used a slightly unfamiliar knife technique to complete the decomposition of the young dragon.

He simply rinsed the blood stains on his body with a water bag, then carried four steaks tied with hemp ropes on his back. When he was about to leave, he glanced back at the oval-shaped back armor with some reluctance.

If you take it back and polish it, you might be able to use it as a shield, but it's too heavy.
After thinking for a moment, Li Ming was finally reluctant to give up the piece of back armor. He lifted his hands back and carried it on his back, trying to bring it back to the camp.

After struggling to climb to the top of the dune, the long sandy slope in front of him made it difficult for him.

With this kind of slope, if you are not careful, you will definitely fall down.

The gravity of Monster Hunter World is very magical. Even if you fall from a high place, it will not cause any impact damage to your body.

But if it is hit by a heavy object, the damage it can cause is terrifying.

What he was worried about was not the injury, but the threat of damage after the piece of back armor fell.

The safest way is to throw it away first.

Li Ming came up with a solution and took off his back armor on the sand.

Looking at the oval carapace that resembled a small boat, a brand new idea emerged.

Soon, Li Ming squatted in the back armor and grasped the edges of both sides with his hands.

Cha~cha~shua!
The back armor continued to accelerate on the slope, sliding down at a rapid speed.

"Hey, it's fun."

The feeling of the strong wind made Li Ming feel particularly refreshed.

The rest of the journey is to keep sliding on the dune slopes along the way until you return to the camp.

Open the small wooden door, bend down and drag the back armor in.

Li Ming, who felt that he was about to collapse from exhaustion, lay down on the ground and gasped for air.

Hunting monsters in the real world is more difficult than he expected.

Fortunately, he finally successfully hunted the carapace-eating herbivorous baby dragon, which not only alleviated the dietary crisis, but also gave Li Ming great confidence. It was a pretty good start.

After resting for a moment, Li Ming got up and chopped a piece of meat steak in half. Li Ming took three and a half pieces of meat steak and went down to the dry well in the camp.

Next to the underground river, there is a one-meter-square piece of sea-blue ore, and a faint cold air escapes from the polished surface.

This kind of ore is called ice crystal, which can maintain low temperature all year round. It has been used by the Melu Cat Tribe as a refrigerator.

After placing the steaks on the ice crystal surface, Li Ming returned to the surface and began to bake the remaining half.

Barbecue is a relatively simple cooking method.But every time the tribe barbecues, the Merlu cats take it very seriously.

Next to the barbecue grill, there are people who play horns, people who play cat paws, and people who dance around the campfire.
The cats perform their duties, as if they are performing some kind of ritual.

Midoduo’s explanation for this is that by following this rhythm of grilling, it is not easy to burn.

Li Ming didn't believe it at all. Although the flames in the Monster Hunter World were ridiculously fast when baking things, they could still be controlled as long as they paid more attention.

Thread the steaks on the grill and light the campfire.

Li Ming looked at the steak carefully and slowly turned the handle.

Zi la la ~
Golden fat seeped out from the surface of the steak, and bursts of aroma wafted out.

"Yes, Not Bad."

呲~
Halfway through his words, suddenly, a wisp of black smoke came out.

Li Ming immediately lifted up the pole with the steak on it, but even though he moved so quickly, most of the steak was burned.

"Is what Midoduo said true? The barbecue here must follow a certain rhythm."

Although it was a burnt steak, the smell of burnt meat still made Li Ming lick his lips.

In the month since he traveled back in time, he hasn't even had a full meal, let alone eating barbecue as much as he wants.

"It's better to return the favor to God Meow first."

Li Ming lowered the meat steak to his mouth, cut off the most severely burnt black part, and came to the Meow God Altar.

"Thank you to God Cat for blessing me. This hunting was very successful. Please be careful. I hope you won't dislike it."

After Li Ming clasped his hands together, he opened his eyes and found that the prompt for the rewritten skill Elf Protection (Small) did not appear.

He speculated that either God Meow was still concerned about stealing the tributes, or the blessing could not be rewritten midway before it expired.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Amidst the sound of vigorous chewing and swallowing, the steak was soon reduced to a stick-shaped bone.

"This amount of food is not quite right."

Li Ming felt surprised as he stroked his flat belly.

He has a clear perception of the increase in food intake.

It's just that because the daily food intake is so pitiful, it's not clear to what extent it is.

Now that he had eaten half a piece of meat, he was only half full, which obviously exceeded his expectations.

No, if the increase in food intake continues, the minimum daily food intake will also increase. If the hunting encounters an unsatisfactory situation in the future, it may be difficult to maintain the status quo.

Moreover, Midodo also mentioned that it is common in the Sand Plains area to encounter monsters with extremely high threats that are active in the surrounding areas and unable to travel for days or even weeks to hunt.

Li Ming, whose future was in doubt, had he known that his appetite would increase to this point, he would have tried to carry those four dragon legs back even if he was exhausted.

Unfortunately, I have no choice now. I can only lay down on the corpse to reduce physical exertion as much as possible.

bang~
After lying on the straw mat for a while, a muffled sound came from above.

Li Ming looked up for a moment and found a red mist in the shape of a cat's paw appearing in the sky.

"There's something going on with the rescue team."

All members of the tribe were mobilized for this operation, and the person to be summoned by the signal flare was obviously Li Ming.

In the Sand Plains area, many monsters have a crushing advantage over the Mel cat tribe in terms of combat effectiveness.

But to say that they will be deliberately targeted, there are not many that pose a great threat.

The reason is that the monsters in the monster hunting world all act according to their own ecology.

food, reproduction, territory
As long as there is no deep intersection in these aspects, with the short size of the Melu cat that is easily overlooked, and the sense of danger avoidance developed by long-term survival in the wild, there are few large monsters that will target it.

Monsters that are smaller in size and have certain ecological similarities are the main source of threats to the Mel cats.

For example, the Yellow Velociraptor group, Li Ming's two previous emergency calls, were both because they attacked the traveling Meru cats.

However, the purpose of the call was not to let him drive away the Huang Velociraptor group with force, but to intimidate them by pretending to be a hunter.

Use the fear of hunters to make them retreat and help cats get out of trouble.

The tribe has no extra money, so hiring hunter Li Ming can understand, but during the rescue mission, it can be easily settled by saying hello to the hunter team.

The explanation of tribal leader Aile is that there are rules.

Once the hunter team's contract is revealed, a deposit is collected.

All emergencies encountered by the rescue team along the way must be handled quietly and on their own.

Even the threat of death cannot affect the hunting process.

Although the idea of ​​lying down to reduce consumption fell through, Li Ming was still looking forward to the possibility of observing a real team of hunters hunting.

Fill the water bladder down the well and bring a steak to the cats to improve their meals.

After hesitating for a moment in the camp, Li Ming decided to set off with the shell.

To his surprise, when he lifted it with his hands, the weight of the back shell felt much lighter than before.
