Chapter 50 The Return
Li Ming chose the fog ball option.

The fog ball exploded by Sleeping Dog Dragon King is one green and two white.

The two white balls are [Coordinated Combat-Hunting] and [Cunning], and the green ball is [Poison Gland Sleeping Toxin Secretion].

The venom-based skills that impose abnormal status are currently performing extremely well in actual combat.

There is only one drawback that must be broken open the epidermal carapace and injected subcutaneously.

The monster's resistance to the two poisons is separate, and if used properly, there is the possibility of seamless integration with the paralyzing venom.

After Li Ming selected [Venom Gland Sleeping Toxin Secretion], he entrusted Bubu to harvest the venom-producing organ from Sleeping Dog Dragon King's body into a sleeping bag.

The area may be a food storage point for the Icetooth Dragon, and the team decided to move the body to a safe area before calling field investigators.

bang~wow~
The pile of ice blocking the entrance exploded.

The body of Sleeping Dog Dragon King slid out against the ice.

The dozen sleeping dog dragons that came to support were already in place.

But now that he saw the clan leader killed in battle, he couldn't help but start to retreat.

Li Ming stood guard at the entrance of the cave with his shield up, observing the opponent's reaction.

After about a minute of confrontation, the first sleeping dog dragon turned around and fled, and then more sleeping dog dragons left one after another.

In the end, only one was left, still rubbing its paws, lowering its head and roaring.

Sleeping Dog Dragon had exhausted all its skills, and the opponent's meat was not tasty. After the battle, Li Ming didn't want to waste energy and time, so he issued warnings as he approached.

"If you want revenge, you have to become stronger. Courage alone is useless."

Sleeping Dog Dragon hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran away when the two sides were only ten meters apart.

After tying a rope on the body, the two members of the team dragged it far enough on the ice, covered the body, and fired flares into the sky.

Everyone hid in the snow, waiting for the investigators to arrive.

In the evening, the green aurora appears in the night sky, and the cold wind suddenly rises.

"Three flares have been launched, so you can't come today, right?"

Li Ming, lying in the snowdrift, speculated.

"Uh, do you want to believe the field investigator when he says you're not cold at all?"

Chuying, who was crowded together with Bubumi Duoduo, asked in a trembling voice.

"Also, if you feel too cold, you can get up and exercise."

Li Ming reminded.

"Yah! Haha!"

At this time, a shout came from above.

The team looked up.

I found a four-wheeled flatbed truck speeding down the snowy slope in the distance.

The person who shouted was the young woman wearing a full set of White Rabbit Beast armor in the car.

Bang!Bah~
The flatbed truck flew down onto the ice, splashing up a stream of white ice mist.

The Elu who had their claws on the ground were about to tilt their cars and slide to slow down.

"People! People! People!"

The young woman who jumped out of the car looked around, as if eager to find the hunter team.

"Here meow!"

Midodo, the most conspicuous figure in the snow, extended his cat paws and waved.

"Great! It's not a false alarm! I am Lone Fox, an investigator who loves adventure."

After the other party revealed his identity, Li Mingchuying stood up and introduced herself.

"The ruthless team. Just looking at the name is extraordinary. Have you eaten? Do you want to go to the investigator camp to get something to eat?"

"Thanks, we're not that hungry yet."

Li Ming responded.

"Okay, let's start the certification process."

Guhu took out the paperwork and began to record carefully around the body of Sleeping Dog Dragon King.

The Elu people pushing the cart surrounded Midoduo and Bubu, watching curiously.

"Meow meow?"

"Meow meow."

"Meow meow!"

This Elu tribe may have had less contact with humans and has not yet mastered human language.

Midoduo and Bubu looked at each other, took out their musical instruments and started dancing.

The crowd watched Elu scream for a moment, then started to twist together.

"The certification is complete. The next transport ship will dock at the port in about five days. If you want to return, remember to visit in advance. In addition, there is an Ice Tooth Dragon moving nearby. Please be more careful. Thank you for your contribution to ecological stability. contribute."

Woo!Woo!
Lone Fox handed back the contract and picked up the whistle to blow.

The Elu, who were still dancing, immediately said goodbye to Bubumi Duoduo and began to put the body of Sleeping Dog Dragon King on the flatbed truck.

"If you're bored, you can come to the investigator camp as a guest. The location is marked on the map! It's very warm!"

Lone Fox, who was riding away on a flatbed truck, looked back and told him.

"Ok!"

Li Ming waved goodbye.

"I feel like the investigators here will get very lonely after a long time."

Chuying said with emotion.

"Yeah, I hope the situation can improve soon so that the guild can send more investigators to remote areas."

Li Ming agreed.

After watching the flatbed truck disappear, Chu Ying turned around to leave, but she caught a glimpse of Li Ming who was still watching the ice cave where operations were deployed during the day.

"You"

Chuying was about to speak but stopped.

"This is a gift from nature. It would be a shame if I didn't take it with me. Moreover, the transport ship we take back has a chilled warehouse. It can carry enough raw meat back and save a lot of money on meals."

Li Ming informed.

"The contract has been completed. It doesn't matter if you carry something while traveling. But the Ice-toothed Dragon will be angry."

Chuying said hesitantly.

"The ecology of the Frozen Islands is so cruel. If you rely on storing raw meat to rest on your laurels, your hunting ability will deteriorate. We are helping it advance."

Li Ming started to talk nonsense.

"Ok."

The team immediately took action quietly, but due to the limited carrying capacity, even if each member carried a large amount of raw meat, they only took away one-third of the storage in the cave.

In the morning, the sky is clear.

The team rested at the camp for the night, carrying a large amount of raw meat on their backs, and headed towards the surrounding storage points.

"The storage opening on the ice wall needs to be expanded, otherwise it won't fit in."

After walking around the corner of the rock wall, I was still thinking about Li Ming. I was stunned when I saw several holes in the ice wall.

"Where's my raw meat!"

Li Ming said in disbelief.

"Well, judging from the claw marks dug into the ice wall, it should have been dug out and taken away by monsters, or eaten on the spot."

Chuying observed closely for a moment and gave an analysis.

"How could there be such a wicked monster? If you want to eat raw meat, why don't you hunt it yourself? It seems like you need to find a different raw meat storage location."

Li Ming said helplessly.

"You can think on the bright side, meow. Maybe this is a monster helping the team to move forward."

Midoduo said comfortingly.

"Yes, it's time to work hard."

Thinking of the high-priced raw meat in the stronghold, which is completely free here, Li Ming has an uncontrollable hunting urge.

That day, the team's bloody storm swept through the outer areas of the Frozen Islands.

The hunting that lasted for three days made most of the monsters wary.

The trembling sound of the armor has become a death knell in his ears. The slightest abnormality will cause groups of monsters to flee.

On the fourth day, the team visited the field investigator camp and gave a large amount of raw meat as a gift to express their gratitude to the lonely fox who persisted.Lone Fox led the Elu tribe to transport the stored raw meat to the port on a flatbed truck as a reward.

"Due to the changeable climate, the transport ship's arrival may be delayed, but as long as we stay here in advance, we will definitely not miss anything. Today's ecological observation record has not been written yet, so I have to go back and catch up. Goodbye everyone."

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Lone Fox was still very reluctant to leave when they parted ways.

"Goodbye, we will definitely come see you next time we come to the Frozen Islands."

Li Ming promised.

Midodo and Bubu also hugged each other goodbye one by one with the Elu tribe who exchanged dance moves.

After waiting for two days in a dilapidated cabin at the port, the transport ship arrived.

The captain was not too surprised when he saw the body of Sleeping Dog Dragon King that needed to be carried.

After all, there is only one transport ship that goes back and forth on this route of the Frozen Islands all year round, and no one except them can bring back the monster corpse.

But when I saw the pile of raw meat piled up like a hill, I was really shocked.

"It's a little bit more. If there is any inconvenience, the team can add some transportation fees."

Li Ming discussed.

"No, I'm just a little surprised by the amount of raw meat. It's a good thing to be able to transport something back from the Frozen Islands. No matter what you transport, we won't have too much. Everyone comes and loads it!"

The captain gave the order and the crew got busy.

Seven days later, the transport ship docked at the wild port in the Feishen Community area.

The team hired three trucks to escort the raw meat back to the stronghold.

This is the first time that the monster corpse has returned with the team. The team is not in a hurry to collect the reward, but waits for the materials to be divided and calculated together.

"I heard that the cold storage room of the guild warehouse was filled up with the pieces of raw meat you brought back."

In the early morning, Shui Yun saw the team coming to the hall and said in surprise.

"Yes. Hiccup~"

Li Ming, who was a little full, swallowed hard.

"Li Ming. You seem to have gained weight!"

Shuiyun covered her mouth in surprise.

As the guild receptionist, it is easiest to sense the changes when the team returns.

Darkening of skin color, sudden loss of body shape, listlessness, and wounds.
The above changes are the most common.

As for a hunter who can gain weight after hunting, this is the first time Shui Yun has encountered one.

"Mainly because I'm on the transport ship. Hiccup~, I only eat and sleep every day, and there's no place to train, so that's why it's like this."

Li Ming explained.

"So that's it. Congratulations to the team for completing the contract. The total remuneration plus subsidy is 4850z. The income from the sale of Sleeping Dog Dragon King materials is 5710z. After the 2855z is divided equally, 7705z will be paid to each person now!"

After taking the heavy money bag, Li Ming came to the workshop and wanted to install a sleeping bag injector on the inside of the green bear gauntlet worn on his left arm.

Although the purpose was unknown, since the structure of the injector was not complicated, and Li Ming had the physical object on his right arm as a reference, the workshop took over the business.

As for the creation of a single Sleeping Dog Dragon King gauntlet, Li Ming had considered it.

But the Blue Bear Beast Gauntlet improves [Blue Bear Arm Strength] and I really don’t want to give it up.

It is too troublesome to disassemble and install the gauntlet on the spot of battle.

I wanted to try whether the sleeping venom can be successfully generated without the stimulation of the Sleeping Dog Dragon King equipment.

That afternoon, the ejector connected to the sleeping bag was completed.

Li Ming returned to his residence, inserted the catheter needle into his left arm, and loaded the fog ball for testing.

In the ice and snow, the memory fragments of Sleeping Dog Dragon King kept flashing in his consciousness.

Li Ming saw the scene where the sleeping dog dragon group injected Bobo with sleeping poison and then shared the food on the spot.

Hu~hu~
There was a sound of flapping wings, and the black dragon with rodents hovering around it spread its wings and flew from above.

The black and purple scale powder scattered down and fell into Bobo's flesh and blood.

The group of people who looked up and watched paused for a moment, seeing the black eclipse dragon flying away, and then continued to lower their heads to eat.

"Yuck~"

Li Ming retched and returned to the house.

"It's hard, isn't it?"

Mido handed over a glass of water.

"It's okay, I just feel a little weak and tired, which is strange. I obviously ate a lot at noon."

Li Ming, who felt a little groggy, rubbed his forehead and said.

"The sleeping bag is bulging, meow!"

Midoduo pointed to the inside of Li Ming's left arm and said in surprise.

It seems that without the stimulation of monster equipment similar to the fog ball, the venom can be barely generated, but it consumes a lot of itself.

However, the two kinds of venom are generated during the combat preparation stage. This consumption is still within the acceptable range, but the effect cannot be confirmed yet.

"Midodo, do you suffer from insomnia?"

"I sometimes can't sleep when I think about the stories you told me at night, meow."

"If you have difficulty falling asleep in the future, remember to come to me."

"Okay meow."

"Now I'm going to try to fall asleep. You go and prepare a basin of cold water. If you notice any abnormalities in my breathing or heartbeat, pour the water on the top of my head."

After explaining, Midoduo went to prepare.

Li Ming raised his arm and pointed the jet towards himself.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark.

Midoduo lay down next to the basin and fell into a deep sleep.

It seems that the effect is still very guaranteed, but it is best to focus the spray range a little more, otherwise it will be a tragedy if the spray hits you during the battle.

Feeling energetic, Li Ming began to study improvement plans.

After supper, the team met at the training ground.

Li Ming was not anxious at all when he saw the lively hunters.

At this time, Shui Yun, who was carrying a flame spear, made a rare appearance at the training ground.

"Hello, everyone from the ruthless team."

Shuiyun said hello expressionlessly.

"Hello Shuiyun, will the receptionist also come for training?"

Chuying asked somewhat unexpectedly.

"Yes, if the fortress is at risk of being breached by monsters, everyone in the village will contribute their own strength. I am better at fighting. If I don't participate in training for a long time, my fighting skills will become rusty."

Shuiyun replied.

"Well, come on."

"Then don't bother."

Seeing Shui Yun walking towards the machine frogs to line up, Chu Ying said in confusion: "The spear is a heavy weapon, why does it seem so easy for Shui Yun to carry it on her back?"

"Yanhuo Village is a place full of ruthless people. It is said that there were people who were strong enough to fight with dragons. It is normal for the receptionist to be more powerful in combat."

Li Ming explained.

"I've heard rumors about this. Why are the hunters on the machine frog hiding away? Operator Elu also escaped?"

Chuying said in surprise.

"Maybe I've suffered a loss."

After Shui Yun put in the coin, she took off the flame spear.

The miko uniform she wore made her thin and frail figure look unthreatening.

The wrist was twisted and the spear was thrust out.

"Hey!"

Call ~
A spiral column of air enveloped the spear and rolled forward.

The machine frog that suffered a strong impact trembled violently, and soon tilted its head and fell down.

"I haven't regressed much. That's it for today."

Shui Yun clenched her fists to feel the power, nodded with satisfaction, then put away her spear and turned away.
