One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

Two days later, Link finally got his new weapon.

Meteorite Cannon, a sniper rifle that looks like a rocket launcher.

If it were Link's previous life, this weapon would have no problem dealing with tanks.

The total length including the extended barrel is about 1.8 meters. When folded, it is nearly a meter long, and the caliber is 20mm.

Whether or not we can open the skull of the Sauropodacus, we can definitely open the skull of the Marutori.

Not only Link, but even the dog Matsutake put on new equipment.

It was a sand sled, a manned vehicle that slid on the sand. It was made of wood and metal, with a flat and smooth bottom that could reduce friction on the sand and increase sliding speed.

The seat is wrapped in soft leather, which has a certain degree of elasticity, giving the passengers a comfortable experience during the sliding process.

And Matsutake has also successfully evolved from a toothhound.

Became a glorious sled dog.

No, it's a sand sled dog.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the new equipment is very cool, Link."

Soran glanced at Link who was moving the explosive barrel onto the sand sled and joked with a smile.

"You are so free. I never thought the guild would let you be the assessment record officer."

"No, no, no, as a good friend, I took the initiative to apply to be your record officer."

Soran shook his fingers, as if to say, "I'm great, come and praise me."

"Haha, I hope you won't disappear again along the way."

Link curled his lips and sat on the sand sled, while the two cats, Duoduo and Chuchu, sat on both sides of Link, one on the left and one on the right.

"set off!"

Following Link's command, the matsutake in front of the sand sled immediately spread out its four legs and began to run wildly on the sand. The rope tied around its waist was suddenly pulled straight, driving the sand sled behind it to move forward together.

"Wait, I haven't gone up yet."

Seeing Link sitting on the sand sled and abducting his family's Dodo, Soran suddenly became anxious and quickly took out his beloved magic girl bug wand and chased after him.

"You should continue flying."

In the distance, Link's voice came from the end of the horizon.

"Ouch!"

The dog, who had not run freely on the vast land for a long time, barked excitedly twice, and ran so fast that even Soran, who could fly, could not catch up for a while.

It seems that holding it in for too long is really bad for your health, you still need to vent.

"Wait for me~~"

Not far behind, Sauron's figure was chasing relentlessly. The flying insect stick flow was indeed powerful, and his speed was faster than that of a dog.

The Dede Desert is located west of Loklak, so just keep heading west and you will definitely reach there.

——The dividing line of half a day’s journey——

"Huff, huff, I'm so tired."

Soran fell from a low altitude, rolled flexibly on the ground, and then stood up dizzy.

"Haha, even if I invite you to the sand sled, you will definitely refuse."

Link walked over, looked at Soran's miserable appearance, and said unhappily, handing him a bottle of iced cola to moisten his throat.

"Dun Dun Dun~ha~thanks."

He unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back and drank the Coke in one gulp. The cold liquid slid down his throat, bringing a refreshing stimulation, and Soran exhaled a puff of white air in comfort.

"I never thought there would be such scenery in the desert."

Link looked up at the scenery around him and felt a little emotional.

At this time, the group was in an oasis with only a small amount of vegetation around them. They were a kind of tree that looked like street lamps and coconut trees, and they could stand even in this hot desert environment.

Not far from them was a huge bottomless pool.

According to the research of the guild's leaders, this pool of water may be connected to the sea, and sometimes even water beasts and water dragons, these ichthyosaur creatures, will emerge from here along the huge underground waterway.

Where there is water, there will naturally be living things.

There live a small population of ankylosaurs, which are characterized by their tortoise-shell-like carapaces and spiky tails.

"Well, since there is water here, the Sand Dragon must live nearby."

Link turned his head and looked around, taking in his surroundings before speaking.

The Sand Dragon is a beast dragon monster that likes to bury itself in swamps.

Swamps in the desert cannot be separated from water, so it is right to find an oasis first.

The claws of the sand dragon are shaped like shovels, and they are good at digging. When they set their eyes on a habitat, they will dig a tunnel underground, connecting the habitat with the water source, introducing fresh water, and turning the dry land into a small swamp to serve as their own nest.

Because they live in mud, they are also called children of the mud.

"Meow!!"

At this time, Link's cute cat follower Chuchu discovered the new situation and called out to Link from a distance, with a hint of excitement and a sign of seeking credit in her voice.

"Oh, this must be the mud left by the Earth Sand Dragon. Even though it has dried up, it's still visible."

Soran rushed to Chuchu before Link, squatted down and examined the dry, hard, brown object left on the ground, and poked the hard surface with his finger.

"No, that's monster poop."

Link looked at this guy with a frown on his face. The guild had clearly sent him here to be a recorder, but at the moment he was acting as if he was here to join a hunting team. If they really encountered a monster, Link doubted whether he would rush out faster than himself.

"Forehead......"

Hearing this, Soran withdrew his fingers awkwardly and rubbed them hard on the sand.

Fortunately, he was wearing gauntlets and did not have direct contact, otherwise he would have wanted to cut off his hands.

Link came to Soran's side, holding a long strip of bark in his hand, which he had peeled off from a big tree next to him.

Link poked the yellow-brown feces hard with the bark. The feces were hard on the outside and soft on the inside, obviously having been left there not long ago.

"Well, there are remains of beetles and ants inside. They look like the excrement of a sand dragon. It must have just left not long ago."

After carefully observing the feces, Link came to a conclusion.

The Sand Dragon is a carnivorous theropod that has a penchant for small insects such as beetles and ants.

It has a similar diet to that of the Scarlet-Armored Beast.

There are many footprints left around the feces, which are the traces left by two big feet. The theropods walked on their thick hind legs.

The recipe and the footprints matched, so Link took out the insect-guide cage and released the insects.

The guide insects hover lightly in the air, using their sensitive antennae to capture the faint scent of pheromones in the air.

After some investigation, the guide insects confirmed the source of the smell and flew in one direction without hesitation.

Seeing this, Link and his group quickly chased after him.

In the boundless desert, the sunlight pierces the clear sky like a sharp sword, illuminating the sand dunes into a golden color.

Link and his friends followed the green glow left in the air by the guide insects in this desolate land, pursuing their search.
