Chapter 7 Weapon Recommendations
Wasiu landed in front of the head of the earth sand dragon, and Lindsay, whose legs were stuck in the mud, had successfully escaped and came to respond with a shield.

However, just when Wasiu was about to move his legs to distance himself, his feet suddenly slipped.

Haozai's strong sense of balance allowed him to quickly stand on the spot with his arms stretched sideways.

Wasiu glanced at the large gray mud at his feet and had no time to pay attention. He kicked his legs forward and made a flying dive.

When Li Ming saw this, he subconsciously felt that he had successfully avoided the crown blow from the sand dragon behind him.

But seeing the nervous expressions of Wood and Orange, as well as the cat rescue team rushing down from the top of the sand dune, I realized a very serious problem.

Reality is not invincible!
If you are in a prone position where you are completely unable to parry with weapons, and you are attacked by a monster, the injuries may be more serious.

Boom!

Mud and water splashed and the ground shook.

The Earth Sand Dragon's crown, which was smashed deeply into the mud, was only two punches away from Wa Xiu's feet.

"Huh~ Fortunately, it's small enough."

Wood let out a sigh of relief.

The cat rescue team, which had already rushed down the sand dune, immediately pushed the cart and made an emergency retreat.

Although he managed to escape the horrific impact, the mud splashed all over his body.

He quickly stood up and fled, turning into a gray "mud figure", and his movements became obviously slower.

when!
Lindsay stabbed the sand dragon in the neck with his spear to attract attention.

Mud mixed with a small amount of blood and water sprayed outward as the tip of the gun penetrated.

Hey~
The Earth Sand Dragon wailed, its body slumped sideways.

Lindsay immediately released her defensive posture and stepped forward.

This distance may not seem like much, but it can allow the thrust of the spear to penetrate further into the wound, which can be regarded as a signal to switch from defense to offense.

“Too impatient”

Wood sighed.

bang~ bang~
The earth sand dragon stepped hard twice with its paws and quickly regained its footing on the mud.

He regained his balance so quickly, which obviously exceeded Lindsay's expectations.

Call ~
As the body twisted, the tail covered in mud swung.

Turn your steps sideways to adjust the direction, gather your strength with your arms to lift the shield in front of you, and lean your body forward against the inner wall.

Lindsay's movement to switch to a defensive posture was very standard, but compared to the upcoming tail lash, the speed was a little slower.

bang~
Lindsay, who was unable to completely resist the impact with her shield, flew backwards.

The rescue team finally pushed the four-wheeled flatbed truck back to the top of the sand dune. Seeing that the situation had changed, they had no choice but to sprint down the sandy slope again.

Lindsay, who briefly lost consciousness, sat up with a heavy shield on the ground.

"Uh, it hurts a little."

"Can you still move! Escape quickly, meow!"

A hunting cat with yellow and white fur ran over, put two cat paws on Lindsay's back, and pushed hard.

"I'm fine. Where's the three-leaf spear?"

Lindsay tried to hold the handle of the gun tightly, but found that her hands were empty.

Swinging his head and scanning the surroundings, he realized that when he was hit by a flick of his tail, the spear had been unconsciously released and inserted into the sand not far away.

bang~
Lindsay stood up quickly, bit open the wooden cork of the recovery potion with his teeth, poured it into his mouth, and ran towards where the spear was.

When the hunting cat Sanye saw the head of the earth dragon arching into the mud, he made a movement to prepare for a collision, and quickly gave a reminder: "You're too forced, meow! It's too late!"

"It's okay Sanye! We train day after day just for this moment!"

Lindsay was determined.

Wood raised his forehead helplessly after hearing this, and then simply glanced down, as if he didn't want to pay attention anymore.

呲!呲!呲!
The five pores on the crown of the head spray out mist-white airflow, and the sand dragon's claws rub and step, like an old-fashioned steam train being started.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
After a short period of time to gather momentum, a series of heavy stamping sounds were heard, and the head crown embedded in the mud shoveled out a ravine, and rushed forward.

Lindsay grabbed the handle of the gun and pulled it out of the sand. Just as he was about to turn around to resist the collision, his whole body flipped in mid-air for several weeks and flew backwards again.

"You're lucky. It flew out diagonally, and if it didn't suffer a subsequent stampede, it probably won't die, meow."

Ah Ju breathed a sigh of relief and made a judgment.

"It wasn't luck, it was Lindsay's last sideways step that saved herself."

Wood informed.

"You are saying that before the impact, he independently chose the direction of falling to the ground by changing his body position."

Li Ming asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it can be regarded as the last remedy for the reckless behavior."

Wood confirmed.

squeak~~
The flatbed truck pushed by dozens of mermaid cats came to a sudden stop where Lindsay was lying down.

"I can still"

bang~
Lindsay was still trying to hold on, but before she could finish her words, Elle blocked her mouth with the mouth of the recovery potion bottle.

"Hold on! You must not die on our cat car, meow!"

After Elle told him, the Tusandosaurus, which had slid some distance away, completed its deceleration, turned around and watched for a moment, and soon locked its gaze on the four-wheeled flatbed vehicle.

"The enemy decoy team is dispatched! Cover and evacuate, meow!"

Elle gave an order, and three Merlu cats jumped out from the group.

After running far enough, a cat's paw picked up the drumstick and beat the waist drum hard.

One untied the gong from his back and struck it with a wooden stick.

Midoduo picked up the horn-shaped horn, looked at Tushalong in fear, then closed his eyes, puffed up his cheeks, and started playing.

when!Dudu!Duwudu~
Under the noisy ensemble, the three mermaid cats swayed their bodies and even danced.

Such an unbelievable performance quickly attracted Tushalong's attention.

The remaining Merlu cats worked together to push the flatbed truck and began to evacuate.

"The cats worked so hard to save the hunter."

Although he had participated in the tribe's first aid drill, Li Ming was still a little moved when the real situation happened right in front of his eyes.

Bah~bah~ouch!
The earth sand dragon rubbed its paws on the ground twice, turned its head sideways, faced the location of the three mellow cats, and let out a roar.

Upon seeing this, the three plum cats discarded all the drumsticks and gongs and ran away separately.

"There are only two hunters in the team participating in the battle. Now that Lindsay has been carried away by the cat cart, it's time for the team to retreat."

Li Ming speculated.

"hope so."

Wood said slightly helplessly.

"why?"

"Hey."

Wood pointed at Wa Xiu, who had shaken off the mud from his body.

"Waxiu feels pretty steady to me. He shouldn't be as reckless as Lindsay, right?"

Li Ming speculated.

Wu Aju turned his head at the same time, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Uh, does he also like to be adventurous like Lindsay?"

Li Ming asked in confusion.

At this time, a cold voice remembered.

"The troublesome guy was finally pushed away."

Li Ming unexpectedly looked down and realized that the person sighing was none other than Wa Xiu holding two swords below.

"How did you three come together to form a team?"

Li Ming couldn't help but ask.

when!when!when!
At dusk, the sound of the two swords striking the carapace was still lingering in Li Ming's ears.

In the swamp at noon, Wasiu single-handedly slashed at the Sand Dragon for more than ten minutes with the double knives made of metal ore in his hands.

It wasn't until his swords were severely curled and his strength was exhausted that he was rescued by Wood and Orange.As for the hunting target Tusaurus, except for the reduction of silt on its back, it did not suffer any obvious damage.

smack~ smack~
The dead branches burning in the bonfire made two crisp sounds.

Several large pieces of bone-in meat on the barbecue grill glowed golden as Ah Ju turned them.

Wood lifted the lid off the stew pot and stirred it a few times with a spoon.

"You can start eating when the soup is ready."

Li Ming and Mido Duo sat side by side on a log, looking at the sumptuous meal with fascination on their faces.

This is a temporary camp established by the team on the mountainside, with a large piece of weathered rock wall extending outward as a shield at the top.

Ordinary land monsters can't climb up, and flying ones can't be observed. It can be said to be quite safe.

"What are the team's next plans?"

Li Ming asked.

"It's not clear yet. It will take about two days for Lindsay's injury to recover, and Vasiu also needs to get enough rest, but I guess they won't be willing to give up hunting just like this."

Wood said, looking towards the tipi tent with a faint candlelight inside.

"It would be too difficult for the team to complete the hunt in this state."

Li Ming said worriedly.

"It makes sense, but I'm just here for evaluation and have no decision-making power at all."

"But you are not only experienced, but you also have a good attitude. If you advise them as a senior, I think they will listen to your opinions."

Li Ming expressed his thoughts.

"Hey~ What they have to face is a stage that every young hunter has to go through. As long as you don't risk your life, encountering it early may not be a bad thing."

Wood said with emotion.

"Could it be that"

"Yes, when Wood was young, he was even more exaggerated than them."

Ah Ju informed as he handed over the dinner plate.

"Nonsense. When I was young, I was brave, resourceful, and very steady."

Wood countered.

"I can tell."

Li Ming gave approval.

When rescuing Wasiu on the shore of the swamp, although there was no direct battle with the sand dragon, Wood behaved extremely calmly.

Wait, although this old hunter only has a two-star rating, in terms of knowledge reserve and experience accumulation, he can definitely crush Lindsay and Wasiu, who are both two-stars.

Li Ming thought of this and suddenly had an idea.

"Senior Wood, can you help me?"

"It's such a polite call. It shouldn't be too simple. Just tell me."

Wood said, taking a ladleful of the boiling soup from the stew pot and pouring it into a small metal bowl.

"It's very simple. I want you to help me recommend which hunting weapon is more suitable for me."

swoosh~
Wood, who had just taken a sip of the soup, suddenly his eyes lit up and he quickly put the bowl down.

"Are you really willing to listen to my advice?"

"Uh yes."

Wood's earnest and fiery eyes made Li Ming feel slightly uncomfortable.

The reason why I want to ask for advice is very simple, that is, the cost of failure in choosing is simply unbearable by Li Ming at this stage.

In a world dominated by hunting, the price of hunting weapons will definitely not be that cheap.

When you get to the stronghold, if you save money for a long time and buy a weapon that is not suitable for you, it will be a bloody start.

"The hunting weapons used in the primary election will indeed have a profound impact on hunters. I have to think about it carefully."

Wood quickly regained his composure and frowned in thought.

"Thank you. I really found the right person."

Li Ming said happily.

"Stop pretending to think, it must be a shield axe, meow."

Ah Ju said helplessly.

"Don't talk nonsense. I think the big sword and the heavy hammer are both suitable for Li Ming. It's just that your body shape is a bit thin."

Wood reached out his calloused palms and pinched Li Ming's shoulders lightly, looking embarrassed.

"Then."

"Then just charge the axe."

"The charging ax is not just a shield axe. Moreover, the ax form formed by the combination of sword and shield is not lighter than a big sword and a heavy hammer."

Li Ming was a little speechless, feeling that Wood was completely amusing his natural weapon.

"Okay, I admit that I have a strong personal preference when it comes to recommending hunting weapons, but the shield ax is really strong. This is what I have learned from my hunting career of more than 20 years, so I recommend it to young people who want to become hunters. .”

"Um"

Seeing Wood's sincere recommendation, Li Ming began to have trouble.

"You can get familiar with my Skeleton Shield Ax first. Anyway, the team won't be able to move in the past two days."

"Is it inappropriate?"

Li Ming certainly wanted to try a real hunting weapon.

But for hunters, the weapons and armor carried in the wild are life-related, and there is no such thing as loaning them out.

"No need to worry. I still have a spare in the reserve box I brought with me. If any dangerous situation occurs, I can join the battle."

"Thank you so much."

Li Ming thought to himself that he was indeed an old hunter. He even had spare weapons when traveling in the wild.

"You are the future of this world, there is no need to be so polite."

"us?"

Li Ming didn't quite understand the meaning of the other party's words.

"Yes, young people who have the courage to embark on the path of hunters are the future of the world."

Wood said expectantly.

Li Ming had a vague feeling that Wood's purpose in joining this team was not simply to gain star rating.

Under the light of the dancing bonfire, the skeleton shield ax flashing orange was placed on the ground very casually.

Li Ming grasped the edge of the bone shield with both hands and lifted it up.

It's so laborious just to pick up the shield. What level of strength is needed to move freely?

After feeling it for a while, Li Ming thought to himself.

"Don't be impatient, strong man. You should familiarize yourself with the weapons after eating, otherwise you will lose your strength, meow."

Ah Ju reminded.

"Eat. I'll be right away!"

Facing a large piece of fragrant bone-in barbecue, Li Ming followed Wood's example, grabbing the stick-shaped bones at both ends with both hands, bringing the barbecue close to his face and gnawing fiercely.

After eating two large pieces in a row, Li Ming lay down on his back and burped.

After coming to Monster Hunter World, this was the first time I felt seventy full, making my stomach bulge slightly.

At this moment, both body and spirit are wrapped in a strong sense of satisfaction.

After looking at the two rod-shaped bones at Li Ming's feet, Ah Ju, who was about to deliver barbecue to the tent, stopped and asked curiously: "Why did you only eat two pieces? Are you feeling unwell?"

"what?"

Li Ming was stunned when asked.

When the two pieces of barbecue he ate were put together, the amount of meat was almost close to that of a leg of an adult carapace-eating herbivorous dragon.

If this can be considered a lack of food, then the days when the corpses are lying in the Melu Cat Tribe can be defined as a hunger strike.

"If you want to be a hunter, you can't eat this much, meow. When the next round of meat is roasted, remember to eat two more pieces."

Ah Ju instructed.
