I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 29 Stream Hunting
In the early morning, the sky over the stream with unpredictable weather was once again shrouded in clouds.

The team that arrived at the predetermined area established a camp on a mountainside platform after exploring the surrounding terrain.

The two took turns to rest until the afternoon, when the combat deployment was officially launched.

Chu Ying suggested that they go separate ways. She and Bu Bu went to hunt for the pill birds, while Li Ming and Mido Duo went to take care of the beehive.

Li Ming gave different opinions and wanted to act together.

The reason is that once they encounter danger after separation, they cannot take care of each other.

Secondly, even if Chuying and Bubu could each bring back a Maru Bird, they might not be able to meet all the food needs for this hunt.

It's better to go out together and bring back enough reserve meat at once.

In fact, there is another reason not mentioned, that is, Li Ming wanted to take the opportunity to see Marutori's skills.

Through this period of time, my understanding of bursting skills has deepened.

Li Ming has confirmed that the skill balls exploded by monsters are closely related to the monster's own abilities.

Just like the Earth Sand Dragon cannot burst out poison gland secretions, the Yellow Speed ​​Dragon King cannot burst out silt armor.

In terms of skill effects, many of them don't seem to be prepared for humans.

Li Ming thinks that what he can do now is to hunt more monsters and try to collect skills that are suitable for him or have strong potential for matching.

Chuying and Bubu agreed to Li Ming's proposal, so they and the two cats went on the road together.

Marutori like to gather in areas with shallow streams.

Using this information as a guide, the team began a search.

After searching for about an hour, Midoduo, who was using his cat's claws to push away the grass, looked stunned and immediately called in a low voice for the team to come closer to him.

呲味~
As the grass shook slightly, two people and a cat got in.

"Three of them, it seems they didn't notice us."

Li Ming observed for a moment and informed.

"Marutori will be frightened and his body will freeze temporarily. If the team attacks simultaneously, they might be able to catch them all."

Chuying suggested.

"Those two cats are responsible for the one that bows its head to drink water by the stream. I'm responsible for the one that's dazed at the flying insects. I'll leave the one with its butt raised to the sky for you. If the hunt fails and Marutori escapes, everyone must not pursue it."

After Li Ming finished talking about the deployment, the team made simple preparations and then quietly walked out of the grass and approached Marutori, who was in charge of them.

After reaching a suitable distance, the two cats shouted loudly together.

"Wow (meow)!"

The sudden shout made the three Marutori shudder and freeze on the spot.

Li Ming took the opportunity to jump forward, pressing his body on Marutori's back. At the same time, he stretched his left hand forward to lock the neck and fixed it, and stabbed hard with the hunter's knife in his right hand.

puff~ puff~
Marudori, whose neck was stabbed continuously, tried to spin in place to throw Li Ming off.

However, he soon fell to the ground due to exhaustion and blood loss.

Li Ming took off the energy-charging sword and quickly understood Marutori.

The fight between Midoduo and Bubu was particularly lively, with feathers flying around and screams heard endlessly.

Li Ming was about to help when he heard Chu Ying's urgent reminder.

"Step aside!"

One person and two cats immediately flew down and fell down skillfully.

Seeing the two cats lying on the ground, Marutori tilted his head and watched, seemingly unable to understand.

Bang!Bang!
Two crossbow blasts sounded, and Marutori, who was hit directly in the head by the projectiles one after another, dropped his neck and fell to the ground.

"You guys go first. I have completed the loving salvation ceremony and will catch up soon."

Li Ming finished speaking.

Midodo and Bubu raised their paws and took a Marutori away.

After Chuying reminded Li Ming to be more careful, she picked up one and walked away quickly.

Li Ming didn't want to wait any longer and immediately started sifting through the nine fog balls scattered on the ground.

The first skill he saw shocked him.

【Lay eggs】1 star

Skill introduction: Maru bird eggs, one at a time, 1.5% of laying golden eggs.

After being frightened, there is a chance of being forced to lay an egg.

If this can be realized, combined with [Grass-Eating Digestion], it will definitely be a magical skill of the Lying Corpse Style. What was I thinking?

Li Ming quickly shook his head to clear this idea from his mind.

[Long Distance Rush] 1 star

Skill introduction: Marudori has good endurance and will not easily get tired even if he travels for a long time.

This is good, it can save some energy when walking.

【Insulated Beak】1 star

Skill introduction: Marutori uses its completely insulated beak to hunt lightning bugs.

I don't have a beak, so my mouth should count.
If it can chew thunder bugs alive, it seems to have no use except to satisfy hunger in emergencies and anger the thunder wolf dragon.

Li Ming looked at the other fog ball groups, and there were no repeated explosions, only two of them were [Beautiful Feathers] and [Fear].

[Beautiful Feathers] It can grow brightly colored feathers to increase its attractiveness to female Maru birds.

Li Ming felt it was useless, so he ignored it.

The effect of [Fear] is that when frightened, it will avoid fear by short-circuiting its thinking to ensure that Marutori will not be frightened to death.

This is a purely negative skill, there is no need to choose at all.

After thinking briefly, Li Ming first selected [Long Distance Attack] and [Insulating Beak] from the nine fog balls.

There was really no choice for the last set of fog balls, so I took [laying eggs] with an experimental mentality.

After loading the [Long Distance Rush] and carrying Marutori's body, Li Ming began to chase the team quickly.

After a few minutes of adapting, he felt that his running speed was not slow, and his body's carrying capacity was indeed a little stronger, and he was not as tired as before.

It's just that when running, the knee bend angle is a bit too large, so that it is not very stable.

puff~ puff~ puff~
Hearing the sound of treading on the ground from behind, Bubu, who was carrying Marutori's paws, looked back and saw the outline of a figure running in a weird posture. He immediately shouted: "A monster is catching up, nya!"

"monster?"

Chuying looked back curiously.

"That's not a monster chasing him, that's Li Ming. His leg seems to be injured!"

Chuying slowed down.

"No, meow!"

Midoduo stopped and turned around nervously.

whoosh~huh~
"Come on, you guys."

Li Ming passed by them, bringing with him a breeze.

"Uh, sorry, I saw it wrong."

After Chuying finished speaking, she tried to bend her legs to replicate Li Ming's running posture. However, it was awkward no matter how she tried, so she had no choice but to give up.

After finding a stream with a wide view and few traces of monsters, the team plucked the feathers of three Maru Birds and bled them, and then hurried back to the camp.

After eating and drinking, the team went out again to find the location of the hive.

Boom~ boom~
wow~ wow~
Two muffled thunders rolled, and light rain began to fall in the dark sky.

Although there was no golden lightning flashing at the top of Lingfeng, the team still put on inflatable clothes on their bodies for safety.

During the exploration, the team discovered various amazing phenomena.

First, the cloud tree, which was strong enough to make weapons, was torn and broken, and was embedded in the mud in various directions.

Then there are the roofs of houses covered with moss and lying upside down on the ground.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of force this area must have endured to become what it is now.

Not long after, Bubu discovered a beehive hanging on the treetop.

"You guys stay away, where will my ancestors go?"

As soon as Li Ming turned around, all the team members suddenly disappeared.

"We're here Meow!"

In the bush, a cat with pure white fur stretched out its paw, waved it twice, and then retracted it immediately.

"Okay, you try to hide as much as possible."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he removed his shield and ax and stood beside the stone.

The goggles on the leather headband were pulled down to his eyes, and his body was tilted forward.

slap~
In the splashing mud, Li Ming rolled back and forth and soon turned into a clay figure.

Then he picked up his shield and ax again and started climbing the tree.

hum ~ hum ~
Sensing the enemy's incoming attack, dense swarms of bees attack.Li Ming raised his right arm and took aim slightly.

slap~
As the arm swings, the paralyzing venom is sprayed in powder form.

With a hissing and burning sound, a large number of bees fell immediately.

"I'm also poisonous, you didn't expect it."

Li Ming, who was holding the tree with one hand, smiled and continued to explore.

At this time, the remaining bees regrouped, formed a swarm again, and went around to the rear to launch an attack.

However, even if it is slippery mud, the bee stinger cannot penetrate it.

Li Ming had already expected this. After all, this was not a giant bee that disgusted countless hunters.

Just by looking at the body shape, you can tell that the stinger cannot penetrate deep. Of course, the premise is that there must be no gaps in the protection.

Squeak~squeak~squeak!

After cutting off the branch with a hunter's knife, Li Ming carried the branch with the honeycomb hanging on it and returned to the ground as smoothly as possible.

Amidst the buzzing sound, Li Ming began to move towards the designated waterfall area.

"Stop it, I'm just going to change your living area. Does Blue Bear Beast know it? That's your biggest enemy."

While chanting, Li Ming followed the rumbling sound of falling water and came to a very shallow river bank.

Corrupted fallen leaves and tree branches are flowing downstream with the rapid river water.

Between the rocks above, a waterfall is rolling and tilting.

It's too dangerous to cross the river with my armor, so let's leave it at that.

Li Ming faced the members escorting him to the rear, waved and shouted: "Here comes a mining pickaxe!"

Whoosh~dang!

The thrown mining pick fell onto the cobblestones.

Switching the branch to his left hand, Li Ming picked up the mining pick and started chipping at a slightly downward angle.

After waiting for it to be deep enough, insert the branch diagonally.

The buzzing gradually grew quieter as the drooping hive stopped shaking.

Li Ming pressed against the rock wall, leaning into the water-curtain-shaped waterfall while lowering his head to observe the surrounding soil.

After completing the investigation, he rejoined the team.

"Everyone, go dig there. The soil here is relatively soft, so pay more attention to the collapse."

Li Ming pointed to the bottom of the rock near the waterfall.

"Let's go, meow."

Midoduo held up his small shovel and was the first to rush out.

In the evening, the rain stopped and the full moon rose.

At this time, the laying of the vine net was completed, and Li Ming moved the hive to the top of the rock wall where the trap was located.

In this way, as long as the green bear comes to the hive to collect honey, it will fall into the trap, and the next step is to squat.

The location chosen by the team is at the top of the waterfall. It has an excellent view, but the disadvantage is that it is a bit noisy.

"The next step is to hunt and fight. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

Chuying, who was crawling on the rock, sighed.

"This should be the benefit of sufficient deployment. If you carry out large-scale mobile hunting in streams, it's hard to say what you will encounter."

Li Ming felt that the hunting went so smoothly, and a lot of credit was due to the mature deployment.

"What if that Green Bear never shows up, or it's not the target?"

Bubu said worriedly.

"Then you can only admit that you are unlucky, and then you can either cheer up quickly and continue to launch a new hunting deployment, or return as soon as possible and cancel the contract."

Chuying told reluctantly.

"How much is this situation?"

Li Ming asked.

"My teacher said that frequent failure is the normal state of hunting."

Chuying informed.

"He is a very strong hunter, right?"

Li Ming speculated.

"Very strong, and someone I want to catch up with."

There was reverence in Chuying's eyes.

"In that case, why did you rush to the Sandstone Cave Branch to take the hunter assessment?"

Li Ming asked puzzledly.

"He said this is the secret to the hunter exam. The smaller the guild branch, the greater the shortage of hunters, and the standard of the exam will be reduced. It may even be impossible to find instructors who are proficient in heavy ballistae."

Chuying explained.

"This statement sounds familiar. It seems that your teacher and Senior Wood should be about the same age."

Li Ming speculated.

"Well, they are indeed about the same age."

"What kind of hunter is he?"

"Ahem. Five-star hunter."

Chuying introduced in a solemn tone.

"Like Senior Wood, he should be very strong."

"That sloppy uncle is also a five-star hunter?"

Chuying looked surprised.

"You do not know?"

Li Ming asked in surprise.

"I remember that he seemed to be wearing a two-star badge, and other people's reactions when they saw him. The house he lived in was also very simple. No wonder his partner can serve as a cat instructor."

Chuying recalled intermittently, her thinking seemed to be in chaos.

"The reason why I use the shield axe is because Senior Wood introduced me to it."

woo woo~ woo woo~
Li Ming suddenly paused mid-sentence.

The whole team lowered their breaths and listened carefully to the roar coming from the distance.

When the roar gradually overcame the sound of falling water, they locked their sights on the top of the cliff in the distance.

A blue blurry outline roared at the full moon.

"Then it's the Thunder Wolf Dragon, meow?"

Midodo asked in a trembling voice, holding a telescope.

"Yes, but judging from the distance, it doesn't threaten us."

Li Ming informed.

"It seems that the squatting strategy is indeed necessary."

After Chuying finished speaking, she moved the iron assault crossbow aimed at the cliff in the distance.

"What is the thunder wolf dragon shouting?"

Bubu asked curiously.

"I don't know. Looking at the direction, it looks like it's roaring at the full moon, but it also seems like it's facing the spiritual peak."

Li Ming said he couldn't guess.

No one gave a reminder, but every member of the team has consciously increased their vigilance since then.

If there is any disturbance in the surroundings, I will check it carefully and repeatedly, for fear of omitting anything.

As the night went on, the clouds were thick and thunder was rolling in the sky.

Boom~
Thunder light flashed, and a figure appeared by the river.

Hu~hu~
The sound of heavy breathing quickly attracted the attention of the team.

"Confirmed, it's the Green Bear with an injury to its left arm."

Chuying, who was lying down, told calmly.

"very good."

Li Ming, who was hunched over, slowly approached the rock wall above the trap.

Bang!Bang!
The green bear beast, which was originally upright with a lazy gait, suddenly noticed something, suddenly dropped its two front paws to the ground, and quickly crawled across the river.

The sound of heavy stepping aroused alarm inside the hive, and the bees immediately moved out.
