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

The raindrops hit the tent like a natural percussion music. Milu and Matsutake woke up from their intoxicated dreams. The two of them, the cat and the dog began to pack up their things in the camp and prepare to return to the village.

A few people braved the rain to clean the pot and barbecue grill, and buried the used bamboo bowls and chopsticks on the spot, saving a lot of effort.

The rain was not heavy, and sesame-sized raindrops fell on the bamboo leaves, making a dripping sound. The few people walked back in the rain. With the physique of the hunter and the cat, they would not catch a cold even if they were caught in the rain.

If you want to make a hunter catch a cold, you have to at least be able to go shirtless in the snowy mountains.

Not to mention the Matsutake of the tooth beast species, whose physique is at a monster level.

"Phyllis, what are your plans next?"

On the way, Link asked Phyllis that her purpose of coming to Flame Village had been accomplished and it was time for her to leave.

"I have prepared all the monster materials needed for the shell suit. I am still short of some icy metals. This rare metal can only be found in the Frozen Islands. I have to go there."

Phyllis was holding a waterproof booklet specially designed for hunters. This booklet not only recorded various common sense for hunters, but the blank pages in the back half could also be used as a memo.

At this moment, Phyllis was looking through her wish list.

"To go to the Frozen Islands to mine, you have to take a boat."

Upon hearing that Phyllis was going to the Frozen Islands, Link scratched his messy hair.

Yanhuo Village is located at the southernmost part of the continent, even further away than the Frozen Islands, close to the South Pole of this world.

It is different from the village of Pokai, which is connected to the continent and close to the North Pole.

The Frozen Islands are isolated on the sea. If you want to go there, you have to take a special long-distance ship, and the journey alone will take three days.

Normally, few people go there.

According to the records of the Hunter's Guild, there were originally no so-called Frozen Islands there. It was only later that a super-giant monster fell there, and its corpse turned into mountains and islands, forming a new land.

When Link learned about this, he felt like he was listening to the story of Pangu creating the world.

This is too fucking fantastic. Why didn’t you mention that the hunter can fly?

Although the Hunter does fly.

Several people walked along the forest path. Raindrops penetrated the leaves and wet their clothes. Not long after, they passed through the woods and the majestic and solemn Feiye Fortress appeared before them.

"almost home."

Looking at the fortress in the distance and hearing that Phyllis was going to the Frozen Islands, Link was a little conflicted for a moment.

He was thinking about what to have for breakfast.

When we woke up today, we didn't make breakfast because we had no ingredients. We were going back to the village to get something to eat. Now we are a little hungry.

At the entrance of Jade Leaf Fortress, Link took a deep breath of fresh air, which was mixed with the fragrance of soil and the freshness of the distant forest.

The raindrops falling from the sky were also blocked by natural peaks and no longer moistened the bodies of the few people.

As he stepped into the fortress, more and more people came and went. The vendors on both sides of the street shouted loudly, and the conversations in various languages ​​intertwined together, forming a unique market symphony.

Although pedestrians are not allowed to visit the fortress, it is allowed to set up stalls on the road. After all, the village guards stationed here also need to eat.

There are also some people in the village who prefer their wives to bring lunch, but some of them are single.

These single guys have no partners at home and no one brings them meals, so it is impossible for them to go hungry. This gave passing vendors a business opportunity and they set up stalls here.

These merchants came into the Feiye Fortress in an endless stream, riding on vans pulled by Marutori, Bobo, and herbivorous dragons. In addition to those transporting goods and dumping them, most of them were selling delicious food.

Link led Phyllis along the trade road, through the bustling crowd, and his eyes finally fell on a commercial vehicle that was setting up a stall on the roadside.

The commercial vehicle was decorated in an especially eye-catching way, with colorful patterns painted all over its body. The open compartment was filled with fresh food, a kind of pale yellow fish covered with ice crystals.

Ice crystals are a type of light blue ice crystals produced in cold areas. These ice crystals emit cold air all the time and will not melt at room temperature. They are natural freezers used by many vendors to keep food fresh.

The preserved fish is a carnivorous fish with a mouth full of sharp teeth and a wide dorsal fin.

"Fresh sandfish from Rocklark, Mr. and Miss Hunter, would you like the plump belly or the delicious liver?"

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with dark skin and bright eyes. When he saw the customers coming, he quickly greeted them.

As soon as the stall owner saw Link and Phyllis' attire, as well as the hunting cat and hound following behind them, he knew that they were hunters.

Hunters who are doing well are never short of money, so their attitude towards service is naturally more enthusiastic.

"The best part of sandfish is the liver. Boss, give me three servings of liver and one serving of grilled fish belly."

Link glanced at the price on the hanging board and ordered three portions of liver and one portion of fish belly.

The price of fish liver is not cheap. A sandfish has one liver, and one portion costs 100 yuan.

Sand fish is a small monster that lives in the desert and wanders in the sea of sand. It is difficult to hunt and is famous for its delicious liver. Merchants usually purchase sand fish livers from hunters at a price of around 60. Adding the cost of going there and back, the boss doesn't make much, so 100 per serving is reasonable.

As for why Link only ordered three skewers...

It's enough to try something new to fill your stomach. If Link wants to use this to feed two hunters, he will probably go bankrupt.

The fish liver was ordered for two people and one cat. For Matsutake, the dog with a big appetite, Link ordered the cheap and affordable fish belly for him.

The stall owner moved quickly. He took the money from Link and immediately killed and cut open the fish, took out the liver, and started roasting it in the oven on the van.

Looking at the stall owner grilling the fish, Link shook his head secretly.

"Alas, in this world, most food is either grilled or stewed. I have to rely on myself."

The stall owner was very skilled in grilling fish. He didn't make Link and his companions wait for long and quickly handed them the fragrant grilled fish liver.

Link took the skewer handed to him by the stall owner and took a bite.

The grilled sandfish liver is golden in color and dripping with fat, which looks extremely tempting.

Every bite is full of fragrance and tenderness. The gravy bursts on the tip of your tongue. The rich aroma is like a spring breeze, intoxicating, and the unique seasoning makes people linger on the taste.

Although the cooking method is the common charcoal grilling, the delicious taste of the liver itself combined with the special spices of Lockrak still has a unique flavor.

Link swallowed the fish liver in two mouthfuls, wiped the corner of his mouth with a sense of unsatisfaction, and made up his mind that when he had time, he must go to Lokrak to have a look. The place was close to the great desert, and the types of monsters there were completely different from those in the Abandoned Shrine.

It can expand Link's recipes very well.

The system did not show up. Merchants from Lokrak often visited Yanhuo Village. Link had already eaten a lot of sand fish and had already added all the attributes that could be added.

After eating something, the few of them returned to Yanhuo Village along the way. On the way back, they bought some roadside snacks from time to time. By the time they returned to the village, their stomachs were full.
