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

Whether it is the Blue Bear Beast or the Sickle Dragon King, they will certainly not let down their guard after a fight, because they also know that in the wild, the smell of blood may attract other predators.

Therefore, in the following hunting process, Link must be more careful so as not to let these two discover his traces.

Link carefully checked his equipment, making sure all the concealment items were in place.

He patted Matsutake's head, signaling it to keep quiet and not make any sound.

Then, he asked Matsutake to quietly move forward and start moving in the direction where the Blue Bear Beast and the Kamaitachi Dragon King disappeared.

As a hunter with the title of wild boar killer, Link would naturally not do something careless that might lead to him stepping on branches and breaking them at a critical moment, thus being discovered by his prey.

While tracking his prey, he began to recall the surrounding vantage points in his mind, looking for a suitable shooting position.

Although it is possible to use the Kamaitachi Dragon King to deal with the Blue Bear Beast, this is his first time hunting a large monster, so he should at least have some sense of participation. What's the point of just watching from the sidelines?

The heroine Blue Bear Beast was brutally ravaged by the Yellow-haired Sickle Dragon King and his minions, and he, the protagonist, was acting as a camera on the side, right?

That would be too much of a hardship, so naturally he had to find a way to join in.

Of course, Link would not put himself in danger. As long as he was safe, he would just shoot a few shots to show his strength. There was no way he would face the encirclement of the sickle-weasel dragons.

While the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Hunting monsters does not necessarily require one to do it personally. Reasonable use of other monsters around you, letting them engage in fighting, and then reaping the benefits is also one of the hunting strategies and techniques.

There was once a hunter who accepted a hunting commission and went to the hunting ground. He found that his target was eaten by a passing Tyrannosaurus Rex while he was on the way. After returning to report the incident, he received a reward.

Although I didn't get any monster materials, I got the bonus for a mission for free, which was like a godsend.

Although Link didn't have that kind of good luck, his current situation was similar. The Blue Bear Beast was injured by a group of sickle-weasel dragons. As a hunter, he naturally had to go and take a look.

After all, picking up bargains is an essential part of the plot for the protagonist.

In the old days, the Long Aotian-style protagonists all came this way.

Things like the rich girl who is being hunted accidentally falling onto the balcony of the protagonist's house, or the ring, necklace, and mobile phone bought from a roadside stall turning into a cheat code, they are all similar scenes.

Just as Link was cautiously sneaking and tracking, a slight noise suddenly came from the front.

He immediately stopped and looked around vigilantly, fearing that his whereabouts would be exposed.

I saw the matsutake also pricked up its ears and stared motionlessly ahead, as if it had also sensed something unusual.

Link held his breath and asked Matsutake to slow down as much as possible, moving forward cautiously.

Soon, an emerald green figure came into Link's sight.

It was a huge monster, as tall as two stories.

Link, who often came to the Abandoned Shrine, recognized the identity of this monster at a glance.

Kappa frog is a large amphibian monster. Although it is a frog, it has a long and flat duck beak and its back is covered with a carapace made of a large amount of algae and moss, making its appearance as ugly as an alligator turtle.

The water source of the Abandoned Shrine is one of the places where it often moves around, so Link was not surprised to encounter it here.

The two parties are old neighbors, and Link often meets this gentleman when he goes to the Abandoned Shrine for a meal.

At the beginning, when the two sides met, there would be several thrilling speed and passion encounters.

After the Kappa frog failed to catch up with Link after several attempts, it gave up. As long as Link didn't provoke it, it would not bother to chase him.

At this moment, the giant toad was lying in the shadow of the river, closing its eyes, leisurely enjoying the refreshing breeze.

Its snoring when it sleeps is like thunder, causing the fish in the water to swim away and dare not approach.

Although they are fierce in biting fish, they also consider the target. Kappa frog is one of their natural enemies, so naturally they dare not approach it casually.

In terms of ecological niche, the Kappa Frog is one level higher than the Blue Bear Beast and the Kamaweasel Dragon King. Once its huge duck beak opens, it can even swallow the Blue Bear Beast whole.

In nature, size represents strength, and the Kappa Frog relies on its strength to run rampant in the outer area of this abandoned shrine, and no one dares to provoke it.

Seeing it, Link patted Matsutake's neck, allowing it to tiptoe around the bully and track the Blue Bear Beast from another direction.

This whale-devouring warrior is not Link's target today, so there is no need to provoke it.

Link avoided the water source bully and followed the trail all the way, but he always felt that he had forgotten something.

It wasn't until the sun climbed overhead and the light it cast illuminated Link's shadow that he noticed.

"Shit, it's noon, time for lunch."

Link cursed inwardly, as an obsessive foodie, eating on time was one of his life creeds.

"Come on, Matsutake, let's go back to the camp. Let's let the blue bear go today and take its paw in the afternoon."

The Matsutake mushroom running in the bamboo forest was obviously a little hungry at this time. He had been running for a long time this morning, carrying a big man and two big bags on his back. When he heard the signal for dinner, he hurriedly quickened his pace and ran towards the camp.

Fortunately, the man and the dog did not stray too far from the camp. In just a few minutes, they arrived at the plain below the camp.

However, the atmosphere here was completely different from before. It had changed from calm to silent, and there was not a single monster to be seen around.

The raccoon beasts and marutori that were resting here are all gone.

Only a fresh carcass of Marunori was lying by the water.

After seeing Marutori's body, Link understood why it was so quiet here.

Both Marutori and Tanuki are extremely timid creatures. When faced with danger, they will abandon their companions and run away. Obviously, no one knows who killed Marutori and scared away this group of herbivores.

Seeing the corpse, the clever dog Matsutake immediately slowed down and looked around, fearing that there were some monsters lurking nearby.

However, this small plain was very empty, with no obstructions around it, and at first glance, there was no sign of any monsters.

Link was not that nervous. He touched Matsutake's neck to relax it, then turned over and went to Marutori's body. He bent down to observe it and soon discovered the cause of Marutori's death.

"The fatal wound is on the neck. Judging from the smooth lines on the wound edge, it should be a knife wound. It looks like he didn't die from a monster, but was killed by a human.

In addition, Marutori's body was not intact. The fat in its belly had been cut away, and the wound was the same as the one on its neck, also a knife wound. It looked like a colleague had come."

At this time, at this place, the meat was cut off.

Apparently, an unknown hunter passed by, killed the Maru bird, and took away its meat.

It's obvious that he's preparing lunch.

"This person obviously doesn't know how to eat. He killed Marutori and only took the meat from the chest and abdomen. What a waste."

As he spoke, Link's movements were not slow. He immediately pulled out a skinning knife from his waist and started working on Marutori's body.

Soon, Link removed Marutori's stomach, liver and powerful legs. In addition, he also cut off a section of its neck.

He didn't want the intestines and buttocks. Although these two things were delicious, they were troublesome to prepare and had a very strong smell. He planned to continue tracking the blue bear beast in the afternoon, so he let go of these two parts.

"Thank you for the gifts of nature."

Link put his hands together and bowed sincerely to Marutori's unrecognizable body.

This monster, who was born purely to provide others with enough food, is so great that it would be unjustifiable not to worship him.

After collecting the most delicious parts of Marutori, Link climbed up the vines with the matsutake mushrooms and returned to the camp.

As Link expected, there was not only Milu and the other cat in the camp at this time.

The door curtain of the tent in the camp was opened, and a black figure was sitting inside resting.
