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

"Anyway, now that we're here, let's go in and take a look."

Shui Yun heard the conversation between the two, looked at the entrance of the Goulong Cave, and said in a deep voice.

As she spoke, she rolled off Hinata, removed the shield and gun hanging on her back, set up the heavy shield, and walked into the cave first.

She was not tall, but the shield in her hand was as light as a feather, which made Link shake his head secretly.

"How many points of strength does Sister Shuiyun have? I feel that it would be difficult to lift the tower shield without 30 points of strength. If you want to use it as easily and naturally as Sister Shuiyun, you must have at least 50 points of strength."

"Little Link, hurry up and follow us, or we will leave you behind."

Huoya stood at the entrance of the cave, the sunlight dancing in her hair like a string of sparkling pearls.

She waved to Link gently, the movement was natural and graceful, revealing the wild beauty of the mountains and forests.

At some point, she had lightly gotten off Hanabi, and the clever hound was now quietly standing aside.

Huoya held a carefully crafted hunting bow in her hand. Obviously, she was ready for hunting.

Seeing this, Link stopped thinking about Shui Yun's strength, rolled over to the ground, followed Huo Ya with Matsutake, and walked into the cave.

The entrance to the cave is not small, large enough for several people to enter side by side.

Link guessed that this cave might be a nest opened by some large monsters. Because of the age or some other changes, the original owner of this place abandoned it, allowing a group of dog dragons to take over its nest.

The interior of the cave was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a lingering sour and rotten smell that made Huoya pinch her nose.

As they went deeper, the light from the cave entrance could no longer provide vision. Link took out a torch from the package and lit it. The firelight reflected on the wall of the cave, making it look even more eerie.

This torch is also one of the hunter's common props. There are many cave-dwelling creatures among the monsters, living in dark and gloomy caves all year round. If hunters want to hunt these monsters, lighting torches are indispensable.

"Hiss, I forgot to bring some searchlights before I went out."

Link slapped his head and held up the torch in his hand, feeling that it was a wrong decision.

The world has developed over the years, so it is impossible for the only lighting tool to be a torch.

Many hunters who love mining stay in mines all year round. They often carry a helmet with a light to free their hands for better mining.

"It's okay, Xiao Link. Shuiyun and I are here. You just need to hold the torch and we will take care of the rest."

Huoya, who was walking beside Link, smiled, and her slender fingers stroked the green bowstring of [Vow Tool - Light Bow Aizen], making a low and pleasant vibrato, and she showed a confident smile.

"Forehead......"

For some reason, Link felt his face turn pale at this moment.

The three of them went deeper into the cave, which was connected in all directions. Fortunately, one or two Maru bird feathers would appear from time to time on the road, pointing them to the right path.

After being dragged all the way here, Marubird's body was bald, and the feathers along the way were becoming fewer and fewer.

In addition to feathers, the three also found many traces of dog dragon life along the way, and there were some scattered small scales on the ground.

However, the scales of these dog dragons have been eroded by water vapor and cannot be used as materials.

There are too many traces of dog dragons' life here, so Link's guide insects are completely useless. These little guys will wander around in places with strong monster scent, and sometimes even lead hunters in the wrong direction.

"I see there is light ahead."

At this time, Shui Yun, who was at the front, stopped, lowered her voice, and made a gesture to alert the two men.

Hanabi and Hinata, who were accompanying them, knew that there were enemies ahead, so they turned their heads and bit the double-edged sickles hanging on their lips, and then looked eager to try, which made Matsutake frown and retreat behind Link.

In order to reduce the burden, Link didn't even equip it with a weapon, so it could only watch the battle from behind at times like this.

Seeing light ahead, Link extinguished the torch, took off the heavy crossbow from his back, quickly unfolded it, and loaded the first-level penetrating bullet into the magazine.

Although this first-level penetrating bullet cannot break through the hard shell of large monsters, it can instantly tear the tough skin of monsters like the dog dragon and create a hole in their body.

After getting ready for battle, the three men and three dogs did not stop and, with Shuiyun leading the way, they entered Goulong's lair.

This is a huge cave with a spacious entrance, wide enough to accommodate dozens of people at the same time. There is a large vertical hole above the cave. Warm sunlight shines through it, illuminating the scene inside the cave.

The puppy dragons seemed unaware of the invaders' arrival. They gathered together, fighting for the Marunori's corpse, making hoarse cries with fierce light flashing in their eyes. If any of their own kind dared to snatch the food, they would bite the other fiercely.

"The hierarchy of dog dragons is very strict. After they hunt prey, the leader of the group will eat first, followed by the females in the group, and finally the male little dragons. If they fail to snatch the prey from their companions, they will go hungry, so they fight so fiercely."

As if seeing the confusion in Link's eyes, the experienced Huoya explained to him.

"Not only that, in a tribe of dog dragons, only the dog dragon king has the right to mate with females. When a dog dragon king dies, unless another dog dragon king is born, female dog dragons will not allow creatures weaker than themselves to ride on them."

Shui Yun's voice then sounded. When the cold voice mentioned the word "mating", it paused for a moment before continuing.

"Forehead......"

Link really wanted to say that I know all these things and I don’t need you to explain them specifically.

But when the words came to his lips, he thought that this was the first time the three of them went hunting together, and the two sisters might want to try their hand at being a teacher, so he didn't say anything in the end.

Since there is nothing to say, then don't say anything.

While the dog dragons were fighting for food, Link took out a yellow ball with smooth movements. With a skillful swing of his arm, the ball drew a beautiful parabola and fell into the middle of the dog dragons.

It's obvious that this move has been practiced for many years. If he participates in the World Basketball Games, he will definitely win the resurrection match.

With a "bang", the yellow ball fell into the dog pack like a host taking off his clothes.

It instantly attracted the attention of all the dogs and dragons.

Then, a violent flash of light blinded the dog dragons' eyes, causing them to shake their heads and lose their sense of direction, falling into a state of blindness.

"Good opportunity, go ahead."

Link, who has mastered the throwing skills, will not be polite to the dog dragons. His flash bomb not only blinded the dog dragons, causing chaos in the group of dog dragons, but also used their bodies to cover up the strong light so that the people on his side were not affected, creating a good environment for the three of them to output.

Then a strong wind blew and the battle was over.

Shui Yun clenched the spear in her hand, and strength surged from deep within her body. She thrust the spear out with all her might. The spear was like an arrow breaking through the air, with a sharp whistling sound, instantly stirring up a violent hurricane.

The hurricane was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, fierce and wild. It raged in the cave, stirring up dust all over the sky and shaking the entire dog dragon's lair like an earthquake.

The surrounding rocks fell one after another, and the dust obscured the view.

The dog dragons were blown away by the sudden strong wind and could not stand still. They roared in fear but could not withstand the impact of this force.

The hurricane blew them all against the wall, and they crashed into the hard stone wall, making shrill wails, and then fell to the ground and could never get up again.

"..."

Link was silent as he watched Shui Yun display her power and create a hurricane with one shot that blew all the dog dragons against the wall, instantly killing them all.

"Um... Sister Shuiyun... are you really a human?"

Link looked at Shui Yun, his eyes filled with shock and admiration.

Shui Yun silently put away her spear and said something.

"Have you forgotten that I am a dragon man?"

"Forehead......"

"Are the Dragon People that strong?"

Seeing Huoya and Shuiyun both looking as if they were used to it, Link suddenly felt like a country bumpkin.

Although he thought that Huoya and Shuiyun might be very strong, he still couldn't imagine that she could be so strong.

"System, when can I reach the level of Sister Shuiyun firing a shot and creating a hurricane? 100 points of strength? Or 200 points of strength?"

"..."

Link asked silently in his heart, however, this insignificant log system did not have any intelligent AI and could not give him an answer.

"Roar!!!"

At this time, just like the belated policeman in the classic movie, after all the minions were killed, their king finally appeared.

A huge dog dragon king, about ten feet tall and 15 meters long, appeared in the sight of the three people.

Its skin reflected the sunlight, glowing a deep purple, and its huge eyes sparkled with wisdom. It was not as wild as its peers.

The fan-like scarves on both sides of its head are its symbol of being a king, dancing in the wind.

Its tail is like an iron whip, and every time it sweeps across the ground, it raises a cloud of dust.

"Hiss, what a big Dog Dragon King."

After estimating the length of the dog dragon king, Link took a deep breath and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

No wonder he was so surprised. The guild's atlas recorded that a normal-sized Dog Dragon King was usually only nine to twelve meters long, but the one in front of him was almost one-third longer than its peers.

Not to mention Link, even the two dragon sisters had never seen such a big dog-dragon and exclaimed in amazement.

"To be honest, it is quite big."

The dragon sisters nodded calmly. Although they were surprised, they were not panicked.

After all, no matter how big a dog dragon is, it is still just a dog dragon and cannot make any waves.

In the long lives of the two sisters, monsters of this level were not even worthy of being looked at by the two sisters.

After the Dog Dragon King appeared, his pair of wise eyes glanced at his fellow tribesmen around him who were wailing miserably, and he did not rush to launch an attack.

Instead, he looked at the group with a haughty gaze.
