I draw skills in Monster Hunter World

Chapter 71 Team Up
Regarding the harm caused by the breeding season of fire dragons, the team focused on learning about it that night.

The Senqiu area has a suitable climate and many mountainous areas, making it extremely suitable for nesting. It has always been the preferred area for fire dragons to breed.

After various ecological collapses, the forest hill area suffered the least impact, and the number of fire dragons gathered during the breeding season soared again.

The completed hatching of the young dragons, as well as the consumption caused by guarding the nest, will make the male fire dragon go all out to hunt.

The ecology of the Morioka area simply cannot bear it.

Faced with a lack of food, all the fire dragon can do is expand its hunting range.

Unfortunately, the village of Kokot was within the expansion's reach and was attacked on more than one occasion.

In order to ensure that the village is not completely destroyed by the fire dragon, suppressing the breeding season of the fire dragon has become the top priority for the village to deal with every year.

The next day, Li Ming decided to go by land and installed two extra carriages on the team's truck.

One carriage is used by the cat rescue team led by Eller.

Although the car roof can be used, the conditions for cats are too difficult when faced with weather such as sun and heavy rain.

The independent carriage can not only protect you from wind and rain, but also ensure adequate rest so that your energy will not be exhausted on the road.

The second carriage is made of ice crystals as the inner wall and is specially loaded with food for this mission.

There are two reasons for this.

First, Li Ming has a huge appetite and needs to have enough reserves.

Second, there are currently fire dragons and hunters gathering in the Senqiu area, two big meat consumers.

Not to mention the herbivorous dragons, the blue velociraptors were probably eaten and migrated.

The guild will definitely have some countermeasures for this, but Li Ming doesn't want to go hunting without enough food.

A carriage of raw meat may seem like a lot, but in fact, you need to hunt along the way to make up for the consumption before you can enter the Senqiu area with a full load.

This is also the main reason to travel by land.

The next day, the team embarked on a journey to the village of Kokot in a wagon pulled by two bobos.

At night, Midoduo took out the lightning insect cage and mounted it on both sides of the carriage for lighting.

On the grass beside the road, Bubu skillfully cut steaks with a kitchen knife to prepare for dinner, surrounded by Melu.

Li Ming, who was lying on the grass and looking at the huge full moon in the sky, sighed.

"If only it could go on like this forever"

Chuying, who was sitting aside, was performing maintenance on the tensioning syringe type [-].

Suddenly he remembered something, so he asked: "Li Ming, why are you bringing so many lightning bugs?"

"To activate the secret technique of ancient hunting."

"Is that so? Do you have a name?"

"Name. Thunder attribute Liberation Slash."

Li Ming improvised one.

"It sounds very powerful. It would be great if the ballista had so many moves."

"As long as you are willing to open your mind and study hard, there is always a way to master moves like moves. Of course, it is hard to say whether they are really easy to use."

"Open your mind and concentrate on research."

Chuying finished talking thoughtfully and seemed to have some insights.

After traveling for eleven days, there was a rare congestion on the road due to too many passing trucks.

The truck that wanted to escape retreated out of the road in an orderly manner, and the team quickly entered the village.

As the birthplace of hunters, Kokot Village has a strong hunting atmosphere, and all industries are based on hunting.

At this time, the hunting festival is going on, and nine out of ten people walking through the village are hunters.

Outside the village guild branch, rows of slatted tables occupy a large area.

Ellu, carrying a dinner plate and wine barrel cup, walked through it, delivering barbecue and wine to the hunter team.

At the entrance of the medical center connected to the branch, a row of hunters lying on a cat cart waiting for treatment were being cared for by Elu in white.

In the chaotic scene, the team occupied a table corner position.

Li Ming went to the counter and lined up for contract authentication.

In the crowded hall, three receptionists handled business at the same time.

After waiting for about half an hour, Li Ming came to a middle-aged female receptionist.

"This hunter brother, how can I help you?"

"Hello, I want to authenticate the contract."

Li Ming said and handed over the Earth Queen's contract.

"Three-star team. Undefeated! It's just a bit difficult to handle with only two people. It seems that there is an individual with less experience who is more suitable for the ruthless team. Please wait a moment."

The middle-aged female receptionist rummaged through a thick pile of information.

Obviously, even if they are all female fire dragons, the hunting difficulty will be different due to individual differences.

"Is it a female fire dragon that has just entered adulthood?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"That's right. I have the impression that I haven't even found a mate yet. Indeed, I haven't found a mate yet. The investigator named it Young Dragon No. 3. Its recent activity range is between Area 8 and Area 9. Since every day We can only fight for very little food, and the overall condition is relatively poor.”

The middle-aged female receptionist looked at the page with information and introduced it.

"no problem."

"Although the team's hunting experience is excellent enough, the strength span of three-star monsters and four-star monsters is very large. There are too few of you. It's not too late to regret it now. I can send a dragon egg transportation task that is more suitable for the three-star team."

The middle-aged female receptionist gave the reminder.

Dragon egg transportation can also effectively inhibit the expansion of fire dragons during the breeding season.

The children were gone, and there was no point in crowding in Senqiu where food was scarce. It was better to leave as soon as possible.

Li Ming has the bird-tickling [Incubation Nest Exploration] and a contract to carry dragon eggs, which is not difficult in theory.

But this mission has always been more hellish in his eyes.

Every time I took small, hurried steps to escape from the nest, either the egg was broken or the person died. In addition, the inability to obtain crafting materials made me not want to experience it a second time.

"Excuse me, why do you need to transport the dragon eggs? After you find the fire dragon's lair, can't you just destroy them all?"

Li Ming expressed his doubts, and it was obvious that this approach was more thorough and effective.

"How should I put it? The fire dragons that come to Senqiu to actively participate in the breeding season are generally relatively young. They may be hostile to hunters, but they are far from deadly enemies. If the hunter destroys the nest in a planned way and leaves no dragon eggs, then The attitude of fire dragons towards humans will also change, and individuals who are extremely hostile to humans are prone to appear. If this situation occurs frequently, it will be more dangerous than a simple expansion of hunting range."

The middle-aged female receptionist explained.

Li Ming suddenly understood that the fire dragon tribe expanded its hunting range only for its own needs.

Breaking into nests and stealing eggs is also very common in ecology.

There are about ten fire dragon eggs in a nest, but one or two are missing. Whether it is stolen by birds or humans, fire dragons are basically used to it.

But if all the eggs in the nest that you worked so hard to take care of are broken, revenge will inevitably be taken.

"I see. The team still wants to receive the Earth Queen's contract. Please help with the certification."

"Well, I wish the team will return soon."

The middle-aged female receptionist finished speaking and pressed the seal.

"This is an individual information book, and this is a map. There is currently a serious shortage of food in the Senqiu area. Please remember to pick up the portable food supplies. The guild's cat rescue team has all been dispatched to standby. Before the hunting battle, you can go to the marked standby point to check. If you're lucky, you might be able to find an idle team to accompany you."

After receiving the information, Li Ming was about to go to the warehouse when he saw two familiar figures.

It was Lindsay wearing a clay dragon suit and Wasiu carrying a double battle axe.

Lindsay partnered with the hunting cat Sanye. After observing Li Ming for a while, he exclaimed and asked: "Are you Li Ming, meow?"

"Yes, it's me."

The enlightenment of strength training was taught by Lindsay and Sanye together, and Li Ming was deeply impressed by them.

The two people and one cat who didn't notice Li Ming looked over immediately.

The helmet of the Kamaita Dragon King with a bird feather decoration.

The gauntlets on both sides have a green bear on the left and a strange dragon on the right.

The Daimyo shield crab armor worn on the remaining parts is considered the most normal one.

But whether it was an illusion or not, the two cats felt that these shield crab armors were shrinking and expanding rhythmically with Li Ming's breathing. "Three-star hunter badge..."

Wasiu looked surprised.

"It's Li Ming! Long time no see."

Lindsay stepped forward and held Li Ming's shoulders.

"I've gotten a lot stronger. It seems I'm not slacking off."

"You too, this equipment was made by that earth sand dragon?"

"Yes, it's much stronger than the iron armor I had before."

Lindsay said, tapping the sand dragon breastplate twice with her knuckles.

"It's just a bit expensive. I'm sure that all the money I've saved will be wiped out. Let's not talk about it. You and Midoduo are also here to steal dragon eggs?"

"No, I'm here to authenticate the Earth Queen's contract."

"Oh, I really envy your team for being able to hunt the female fire dragon."

Lindsay sighed melancholy.

"Isn't this contract a recruitment type?"

Li Ming asked curiously.

"It's true that they were recruited, but due to the recent two consecutive hunting failures, the Kokot Village distribution is unwilling to distribute them to us, so we can only accept the dragon egg transportation contract."

Lindsay lowered her head and said.

"Since it is an emergency contract and you are a three-star team, are there still only two of you?"

Li Ming noticed the problem.

"You're right. We obviously only want teammates who love strength training and act cautiously, but we haven't been able to recruit them."

Lindsay was helpless.

"It's really inappropriate for two people to hunt a female fire dragon. The risk is too high."

"That makes sense. How many people are in your team? If there are three, can Vasiu join us?"

Lindsay discussed in a low voice.

"Well there are only two of us at the moment."

"That's a pity. If there were three... ah? Only two?"

Lindsay exclaimed.

"Yes."

"Didn't you just say that the risk is too high for two people to hunt a female fire dragon?"

"As a hunter, you must be brave enough to take risks."

"Then Vasiu and I want to join together, okay?"

"Row."

"That promises?"

Lindsay looked very surprised.

"Although the ruthless team is fully prepared, it has never fought against a four-star monster. Two more people are naturally a good thing. Moreover, if I witness the fire dragon being killed on the way, I will also go to perform the loving salvation ceremony. I hope you two can... Protect another teammate and the Cat Rescue Team."

As the hunting festival begins, there will definitely be a large number of fire dragons being hunted.

Li Ming's original plan was to first get a fire-resistant fog ball, and then go head-to-head with the target female fire dragon to maximize the advantage of the fog ball.

But this requires a long time of walking through the Moriyama area to find it.

Even if Li Ming loses touch with the team in other areas, Chuying and the Cat Rescue Team can protect themselves.

But the Senqiu area is currently full of fire dragons, and their mobility and hunting abilities are very powerful.

If there are two more Samsung teammates at this time, it should be no problem to ensure safety.

"Okay! Come on, Wasiu, the contract is in place!"

At the counter, the middle-aged female receptionist smiled sincerely and seemed relieved when she heard that two more three-star hunters had joined the ruthless team.

In terms of supplies, taking into account the problem of hunting, the number of food supplies per person was suddenly increased to 10 boxes.

However, the warehouse manager still reminded that if the hunting period is long, it is still hoped that the team can prepare some meat ingredients.

Li Ming brought Lindsay Wasiu to the corner of the table. He wanted to introduce each other, but found that only Bubu was there.

"Bubu, where is Chuying?"

"She said she came up with an idea on the spur of the moment and went to the truck to work on moves and develop them, meow."

"Move research and development. With such a dense population in the village, there is a risk of accidental injury, right?"

"It's a protective cat."

"You guys sit here and wait for a while."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he came to the door of the chamber of commerce where the trucks were stored.

The first passenger car did not.

There is also no second carriage carrying cats.

In the third refrigerated carriage where food is stored, Chuying, holding a hot drink in her hand and trembling slightly, was sitting on a piece of frozen raw meat.

"Li Ming. Your words inspired me a lot."

"Is there any progress in research?"

"Freeze Armor."

Chuying pointed her finger at the water-retaining part of the water beast's armor that had frozen.

"What a great idea, but the process can be optimized. For example, put the water beast armor inside the car and have people stand outside the car window to observe."

"."

Chuying, whose eyebrows were frosted, blinked and her face turned gloomy.

"When you try anything in the early stages, there will be some behaviors that look stupid. It's normal, and I won't tell others."

Li Ming gave encouragement.

"grateful."

After retrieving Chuying, Li Ming introduced Lindsay Wasiu.

Finally, members joined, two at a time, and Chuying was very happy.

It's just that the two characters' personalities are a bit unpredictable.

After Lindsay finished eating, she took off her armor and worked out on the spot for strength training.

Wasiu said nothing, staring at the sky with cold eyes, as if the world had nothing to do with him.

In the evening, some dormitories were already full.

The team set up camp outside the village and started hunting arrangements.

According to the investigators’ observation information, female Charmander Hatchling No. 3 did not have any physical defects that prevented her from finding a mate.

Rather, it has a somewhat timid character, which makes it always avoidant when faced with the advances of the male fire dragon.

"No, if there is a male fire dragon hero to save the beauty, the team will become the background."

Li Ming pointed out the areas that need the most attention.

"Then guide it to fight in a closed area, such as a cave."

Chuying expressed her opinion.

"Let's use raw meat as a guide. This is the most attractive thing about the Senqiu area."

Lindsay looked at the bone-in roast in her hands and made a suggestion.

"You can add some seasoning to the raw meat. I'm responsible for that."

Li Ming confirmed.

"I'm not very good at coordinated operations, but my individual combat capability is relatively strong. You just have to look at the arrangements."

Wasiu informed as he stared at the bonfire.
