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

There was no suspense in this battle. When the Kamaitachi Dragon King was scratched by Phyllis, its fate was already determined.

As time went by, the Kamaitachi Dragon King, who had already been poisoned, lost more and more strength, and his originally agile movements began to become sluggish, and his defeat was only a matter of time.

In the process, Link also fully understood how the dual-blade hunter hunts.

When facing an attack, dodge while using both swords to slash through the weak defenses of the prey. As long as blood is seen, the toxins in the blades will gradually erode the opponent's vitality. At the same time, maintain your energy to deal with the opponent, and you can win by delaying time.

Seeing this procrastination, Link felt itchy and immediately wanted to take out the heavy crossbow behind him and deal a fatal blow to the Kamaitachi Dragon King to end this rally.

Fortunately, he stopped in time and did not make any move to grab the head, otherwise he would have to have a real PK with Phyllis.

In the wild, stealing other people's prey is a taboo. The other party can even complain to the guild and punish Link.

The battle in the bamboo forest lasted for more than half an hour. During the subsequent tug-of-war, the bored Link and Milu, one man and one cat, took insect nets and caught insects and dug up the specialty bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest to prepare for dinner.

As for the dog, it was taking a nap next to a rock.

Link's harvest was not small. Some nocturnal insects hid under the leaves to rest during the day, and he caught a lot of light insects and bitter insects effortlessly.

Both insects are common.

Light bugs are the material used to make flash bombs. They are a type of insect that releases strong light when it dies. These insects like to lie on the branches of trees, and you can see them anywhere.

The bitter insect is a special medicinal insect whose body fluid can promote the body's natural healing ability, and its body fluid is used to blend many medicines.

Link, the rat, collects these two useful insects every day. He has so many flash bombs at home that they can blind a fire dragon's eyes, and he has a full box of potions.

"You guys really have the leisure time."

Deep in the emerald green bamboo forest, the sun shone through the dense bamboo leaves, casting mottled shadows. Phyllis held the rogue double guns in her hands, and there were still traces of the blood of the sickle-weasel dragon king on the blades.

This was the scene that Phyllis saw when she came back after she had killed the Kamaitachi Dragon King.

Link sat under an old bamboo tree, holding a bug net in his hand and next to him were insect cages filled with various insects.

But she didn't say much. They just met by chance, and Link was willing to help her lead the way, which saved her a lot of time.

"Haha, I also enjoyed a wonderful hunting process."

Link, who had been slacking off for the second half of the time, chuckled twice and put the insect net and insect cage in his backpack.

Mi Lu, who was standing by, was busy placing a bamboo shoot that was half her own size on the back of the matsutake.

"Mission completed, do you want to call the transport team?"

Link took out a red flare from the backpack on his waist and handed it to Phyllis.

This is a flare issued by the guild, and it is placed in the prop box in the camp. Before hunting, hunters will take two as spares, so that the logistics personnel can come and recover the monster's remains after the hunt.

"Thanks."

Phyllis took the flare, found an open place, pulled the fuse, and the red flare shot up into the sky, blooming a red mist a hundred meters in the air.

Then, the two of them waited patiently.

"Gulu gulu."

In the afternoon when the sunlight shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, casting mottled light and shadows, the sound of the flatbed truck's wheels seems particularly abrupt in the quiet bamboo forest.

In the distance, a very simple-looking flatbed truck was speeding towards them.

Then, the flatbed truck braked suddenly and an Elu cat wearing a Marunori suit was thrown off.

He first swayed dizzily, then tried to stand firm and asked Link and his group.

"This is the Yanhuo Village's transport team stationed at the abandoned shrine. Are you the ones who released the signal flare, meow?"

Looking at the leader of the transport team who came on a flatbed truck, Link and Phyllis had frowns on their foreheads, because the other party's way of appearance was too familiar to the hunters.

Some novice hunters, when they fail in hunting, are seriously injured, and have difficulty moving, will be loaded onto flatbed trucks and sent back to the village.

Then he was thrown to the ground.

This situation is called cat-carriage among hunters.

The Felynx Transport Team, the logistics force of the Hunter Guild, is responsible for transportation after hunting. Whether it is a success or a failure, they are responsible for the finishing work.

If the hunt was successful, they would bring back the carcass of the prey.

If the hunt fails, send the seriously injured hunter back.

So hunters don't like cat cars.

It would be too embarrassing to be carried back to the village.

"This is the three-star hunter Phyllis. She has completed the mission to defeat the sickle-weasel dragon king. The monster's body is over there. Please inspect it."

Link was not familiar with the leader of the transport team, but seeing that he was wearing a funny round bird suit, he knew that he was not a hunting cat expert.

Phyllis looked at the yellow Maru-bird headgear of the transport team leader and fell silent.

As a hunter who pursues beauty, the equipment of this Felynx reminded her of bad memories.

The equipment is also made of Marutori materials. The Marutori suits of the Felyne cats are silly and cute, while the Marutori hats for women are youthful and beautiful.

The men's round bird headgear is so ugly that it can scare a child to tears.

I don’t know what kind of mental state the craftsman who designed the male Marudori headgear was in to make something that can make people’s SAN value drop wildly.

"What's my problem meow, why are you staring at me meow."

Perhaps Phyllis's gaze was too direct, Maru-Niao-Neko adjusted his oversized hat and asked.

"It's okay. This is my hunting order. Please check it."

Phyllis shook her head without explaining, and took out the guild's hunting commission from her bag and asked the leader of the transport team to check it.

The Hunter Guild's hunting procedures are very rigorous. If you want the logistics team to help with transportation, you have to produce the corresponding order.

This process was originally intended to prevent poachers, but as time went on, the guild's system became more and more strict, the welfare became better and better, and poachers almost disappeared.

"Okay meow, there's no problem with the order, so let's get started."

After completing the inspection, Marutori Neko took out a cat paw stamp and stamped a blue stamp on the lower right corner of the order form, and the process was completed.

Then it led two cats pushing carts, lifted the large body of the sickle-weasel dragon king onto the flatbed cart, tied it up with ropes, made sure it would not fall, and then left the two people's sight like the wind.

The body of this sickle-weasel dragon king will be transported back to the Hunter's Guild in Yanhuo Village, where it will be dissected by professionals and the useful materials will be extracted. When the hunters return to the village, they can collect the materials with the completed commission.

During this process, the guild will charge part of the materials as a handling fee.

"Okay, now what should we do with the bodies of these sickle-weasel dragons?"

Seeing that the largest prey had been taken away, Link looked at the corpses of sickle-weasel dragons scattered on the ground in the bamboo forest and asked Phyllis.

"..."

Silence. What responded to Link was Phyllis's silent actions. She silently took out a skinning knife from her waist, bent down, squatted on the ground and cut up the bodies of the sickle-weasel dragons one by one. She no longer had the high spirits she had in the previous battle.

"..."

"Big sister, you look very pretty when you kill monsters, but you look really messy when you peel the materials."

Seeing this, Link remained silent, only complaining silently in his heart.

What would be the consequences of wiping out an entire population of sickle-tailed dragons at once?

The consequence was that it took Phyllis half a day to peel the materials, which was longer than the time spent in the battle. By the time she had split and packed all the materials, the sun was about to set.

Even so, there is still a part of the sickle-weasel dragon that has not been skinned.

The reason was that a group of thief dragons began to move around, forcing the two to abandon the remaining materials and retreat strategically.

This group of thief dragons is another monster tribe nearby, and it seems they were attracted by the smell of blood.

In the days to come, this group of thieving dragons will eat up the corpse of the sickle-weasel dragon, occupy this forest and become the new masters here. Perhaps an individual in the group will grow into a king and transform into a great thieving dragon.

This is the daily routine of this world. Monsters in the wild can never be killed completely, and the corpses of dead monsters will become nutrients for other predators and become food for their evolution.
