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

As the conversation ended, the man, the cat and the dog quickly passed through the Feiye Fortress, ran all the way to the mountains, and stopped at a wild camp.

This is a place located halfway up a mountain at the outermost edge of the Feijinja Mountain Range. The lush bamboo forest and springs flowing from the cracks in the rocks give birth to the delicious and tasty specialty bamboo shoots.

This ensures that even the dumbest hunter will not fail in hunting due to hunger or lack of water.

The dense bamboo forest and tall cliffs prevent large monsters from entering here.

In addition, there is a natural cave between the mountains on one side. Even if you encounter a flying dragon, you can escape safely by crawling into the cave, making this place the best place for the Hunter Guild to set up a camp.

"Huh, it's finally here."

Looking at the familiar camp, Link let out a breath and rolled off Matsutake's back.

Next to the camp tent is a small round stove with an iron pot on it and several bundles of firewood on the ground. It is obviously a place for hunters to cook.

Normally, when a hunter goes hunting, he would just boil some water in this pot, add some portable food he carries with him, and then he would set out on a hunting trip in a hurry.

But this obviously doesn't apply to Link, his purpose of hunting is to get a bite to eat.

Forcing him to chew on the specially processed dried meat that was hard enough to kill monsters would be more painful than killing him.

"Mr. Link, what are you going to do next? Are you going to go directly to find the mission target, meow?"

Mi Lu looked around and observed the situation in the camp. The scenery here was beautiful, the mountain spring was crystal clear, and a small bridge made of bamboo and wood was specially built over the knee-deep spring water. Rather than a camp, it was more like a place for camping in the wild.

"No, it's getting late, let's get ready for dinner."

Link looked up at the sun. It was almost overhead and there was not much time left until noon.

For a glutton like him, it's time to eat.

Without hesitation, Link walked around the back of the tent and stopped in front of a bush of white flowers.

A huge green insect is hovering above this white flower. It is a specially bred giant flying insect.

This giant flying insect is huge in size and powerful. The iron wire it shoots is extremely tough and slender. Combined with its large wings that can fly hundreds of meters high, it can easily pull a hunter carrying heavy weapons to the top of the mountain.

It is a good helper for hunters when traveling and climbing mountains.

"Milu, use the flying bug to fly to the top of the mountain. There is a terraced field with some crops and Polygonum multiflorum. Go collect some of them while I go fishing. We can also investigate the traces of the Blue Bear Beast along the way."

Link didn't go up, but just pointed to the top of the mountain. Looking up from below, he couldn't see the crops planted on the top of the mountain. He could only see a little bit of man-made fence, which was obviously the location of the terraced fields.

Mi Lu did not refuse, nodded, and began to learn how to use the giant flying insect.

This kind of insect was bred by Yanhuo Village and promoted throughout the world in recent decades. They can be seen almost everywhere. As a two-star hunting cat, she is no stranger to them.

She wrapped the silk thread sprayed from the giant Kinsect's tail around her hands and then released the Kinsect. The trained giant Kinsect soared into the sky, carrying Mi Lu's figure to the top of the mountain.

"Okay, let's go too."

Watching Milu's figure disappear from sight, Link patted Matsutake's head and opened the hunting bag mounted on the dog's back.

He took out a folded fishing rod and a box of earthworms as bait, then climbed onto the dog's back again and ran towards the fishing spot he remembered.

Matsutake leaped nimbly between the mountains. It had already visited the outskirts of the abandoned shrine in the past few years. When it saw Link pick up the fishing rod, it knew which direction to run.

Running downstream along the water source of the camp, it soon reached a cliff. Matsutake did not stop. When passing the cliff, it exerted force with its claws and grabbed the vine net on the edge of the cliff with a sudden brake. Then it grasped the ground with all four feet and ran down the vertical cliff as if it were flat ground.

Link had already grasped the handle of the dog saddle with one hand and was not thrown out.

As a toothhound, Matsutake cannot climb smooth rock walls, but with the help of vines, climbing walls and running on rooftops is one of its specialties.

Feijinja Shrine has been a hunting ground for many years. For the convenience of hunters, they have planted ivy leaves in many places.

This vine-like plant, which is very soft and strong, can not only be used as a necessary material for the net needed to set a pitfall trap, but can also be used as a rope in the wild to help hunters climb cliffs.

The strong and tough roots are deeply embedded in the rock wall, and their super toughness, which can restrain huge monsters, makes hunters trust them more than high-tech climbing ropes.

In recent years, as the toothhound has spread all over the world, ivy leaves can be seen in almost every hunting ground.

Climbing competitions while riding dogs have even become a recreational activity among some hunters.

It's a pity for the dogs. They have to help the hunters hunt without complaint and serve them like cattle and horses.

Compared to the intelligent race of cats, dogs' lives are really difficult. As pets, their status is inherently lower than that of cats.

Besides, there is no animal protection association in this world, so there is no place to complain.

Only adding food can soothe the dogs' depression.

Fortunately, hunters know their limits. As important hunting partners, hounds can be played with or made noises, but no hunter dares to abuse the dogs.

Some dogs are even stronger than hunters. If they are really provoked, it is hard to say who will be the winner.

After all, this hound is one of the monsters of the tooth beast species.

In recent years, as more and more types of fang beast monsters have been discovered, they have gradually occupied a place in the monster encyclopedia of the Hunter Guild, and no hunter dares to underestimate any fang beast monster.

Especially some novice hunters who were knocked unconscious by the wild boars, thrown onto the flatbed by the Felynns, and carried back to the camp.

The fang beasts even became their nightmare.

High-ranking hunters dare not underestimate the fang beasts, because even at a high star level, they may receive some hunting commissions for fang beasts.

This is a biological population with a huge gap between the upper and lower limits.

From the cliff below the camp to the ground, there is a small plain. The mountain spring flowing down from the camp merges into a small river flowing out of the deep valley, flows to the cliff on the other side, and falls into the turbulent stream below. Finally, they will meet the ocean at the entrance of Yanhuo Village.

Some small herbivores live here.

This place is located on the outskirts of the abandoned shrine, and large monsters rarely pass through here, which is one of the reasons why the camp was set up here.

Some round-looking maru-birds and raccoons were wandering here drinking water.

Marutori is a small bird-dragon monster. Although it is a bird, its wings have long since degenerated and it cannot fly like an ostrich. Because it is timid and poses little threat, it is raised as a livestock in various villages and there are many groups of it in the wild.

Their two feet are well developed, and some merchants even let them help pull carts, but their endurance is extremely low and they cannot run fast, so they are not suitable as cargo-carrying monsters for long-distance travel.

However, their meat is tender and the eggs they lay are smooth and delicious, making them widely praised as edible poultry on the mainland.

Marudori feathers are the best material for making pillows.

Also raised as livestock is the Bobo, which lives near the snow-capped mountains of Pokai Village. It is a mammoth-like monster that has huge fangs but a gentle personality. Its body is covered with long hair that can keep out the cold. The hair is the material for making warm clothing. In addition, its meat has extremely high nutritional value and it has an extremely delicious tongue.

It can be said that every part of his body is a treasure.

Therefore, Marutori, Popo and Herbivora are jokingly called the three brothers of the cattle and horse world by Link.
