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

Xiaoqiang is a majestic and powerful armored dinosaur. Its home is located in a vast wasteland in the eastern part of the sand plain.

Although this place is desolate, it is a paradise for Xiaoqiang and his companion.

They depend on each other on this land and live a simple and happy life.

That day, Xiaoqiang was out looking for food, and it was not until noon that it started its journey home.

It passed through dense bushes and over rolling hills, its heart filled with longing for home.

When it approached its familiar home, an unusual fragrance hit it in the face, making it couldn't help but wrinkle its nose.

The aroma was neither like the plants it usually ate nor like the scent of the dinner its partner prepared for it.

Xiaoqiang was curious, so he slowed down and followed the scent.

Finally it discovered that the fragrance came from its home, so it walked out of the cave out of curiosity.

When Xiaoqiang returned home, he discovered the source of the fragrance. It was his mate, which was being roasted over the fire. The aroma of the roasted meat drifted into his nostrils along the breeze.

Different from the tempting aroma he had felt before, at this moment, smelling the aroma of meat, Xiaoqiang felt nauseous and just wanted to find a place to vomit.

But, no, the enemy is still here. They are chatting and laughing while gnawing on the fragrant roasted thigh of its partner.

They even used its skull as a cooking pot, put in red poisonous weeds and green fragrant leaves, and cooked its brain.

At this moment, Xiaoqiang could no longer suppress his anger. He moved his four hooves and charged towards his enemy. He wanted to use his proud skull to smash the enemy's knees.

At this moment, it is no longer an ordinary one-star monster Ankylosaurus, but a warrior charging for love.

I saw it charging...

Feed Link and Matsutake who were grilling meat, as well as Golden Thunder God who was eating a big meal.

"Hiss, it's worthy of being called the Sand Plain Flathead Dragon. Seeing the Golden Thunder God, it didn't run away, but dared to charge. Awesome."

Looking at the Ankylosaurus being killed on the ground by a casual claw of the Golden Thunder God, Link's eyes revealed deep respect. He marveled at its bravery, and then he swiftly put it on the fire.

There was no way. This Golden Thunder God had a big appetite, and one Ankylosaurus was not enough for him to eat. He was just worrying about the lack of food, and then a Ankylosaurus came to deliver a takeaway.

To explain why Link would have dinner with King Thunder, we have to start from when they arrived at their destination.

At that time, Jin Leigong transported Link and Matsutake all the way from Lingfeng to the sand plain at a speed that was more than one level faster than the Dayun motorcycle. When the beast landed, it happened to crush a walking Ankylosaurus to death.

In order to avoid wasting food, Link invited Thunder God to have lunch with him to repay him for his escort.

The Golden Thunder God was also very human. He understood what Link said, nodded his mighty head, stayed, and prepared to go home after eating.

This is how the scene of a man, a dog, a wolf and a dragon gathering together to eat came about.

After the meal, Jin Leigong looked at Link deeply, as if he was missing someone.

Link felt the deep gaze of Golden Thunder God, as if it contained endless meaning.

He held his breath involuntarily until the golden figure disappeared from his sight in the thunder and lightning, like a meteor across the night sky.

After Jin Leigong left, there seemed to be a faint smell of thunder and lightning lingering in the air.

"Okay, Gouzi, now that Lei Gong has left, let's get on the road too."

Link patted Matsutake's back gently to comfort him. The dog stared at the receding Golden Thunder God with reluctance in his eyes.

They have the same golden hair and the same canine ancestry, and if you don't know, you might think they are father and son.

However, this is impossible, as the Thunder Wolf Dragon belongs to the Tooth Dragon species, and is a completely different species from the Tooth Hounds of the Tooth Beast species.

Rather than saying that Matsutake's father is the Thunder Wolf Dragon, Link thinks it is more likely that it is the Golden Lion.

At least as both are fang beasts, the Golden Lion's level is higher than that of the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

After touching Matsutake's dog head, Link took out the map from his backpack and walked out of the Ankylosaur's nest. The sunlight shone on him through the treetops.

He looked around, carefully observing the terrain, trying to find the corresponding coordinates on the map.

The surrounding scenery seemed both familiar and unfamiliar compared to the markings on the map.

Fortunately, Link was an experienced hunter, and after a detailed comparison, he confirmed his location.

"We just came from Lingfeng. This should be the east side of the sand plain. If we want to go to Loklak, it is most convenient and quickest to go straight west."

Link took a deep breath, calmed himself, and planned his next route.

The desert is a desolate Gobi desert, neither big nor small.

Moreover, this place has been severely eroded by wind and sand, with many huge vertical pits, ancient building ruins, and stone tablets with inscriptions.

These landmarks add a sense of history to the sand plain. I guess people must have lived here in ancient times.

The eastern part of the sand plain, close to Lingfeng, is a large plain area with a small amount of vegetation and water sources. The further west you go, the more desolate it becomes until you enter a desert covered by wind and sand.

Link put away the map and led Matsutake across the dry and cracked land. There were rock protrusions of various shapes scattered around, like natural sculptures on this desolate land.

Between these rocks, you can occasionally see some yellow-green beetles the size of an adult's forearm, busy carrying the collected food back to their respective nests.

This is a small monster that lives in desert areas. Its name is beetle. It has no wings and cannot jump. It can only crawl on the ground and has a relatively honest personality.

Although the nests of these beetles may look inconspicuous on the outside, they are actually a world of their own.

The nests they build extend all the way downwards, and their internal structures are as complex as those of ant nests, with countless passages and rooms.

A red armadillo, about the same size as the blue bear, was busy catching the beetles with its long, nimble tongue.

The sunlight shines on its hard shell, illuminating a deep red.

Link, who was passing by, couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"It's the Red-Armored Beast. It's said to be a very disgusting monster. Many hunters hate it."

Fortunately, the Scarlet-Armored Beast was busy eating and ignored Link, otherwise, Link would have had to treat it to a good taste of the combination of a flash bomb and a smoke bomb.

Compared to the Blue Bear and the White Rabbit, who are also the three brothers of the Fanged Beast, the Red Armored Beast's danger level is two levels higher, reaching the terrifying four stars. It is only one step away from being promoted to a five-star monster and entering the ranks of upper-level monsters.

This is because it can spit out extremely threatening paralyzing fluid from its mouth. When it encounters a threat, its huge mouthparts will open and a sticky liquid will gush out.

Its toxic nature is enough to incapacitate even the bravest hunter in an instant.

Once hit by this paralyzing fluid, the hunter will feel his limbs gradually becoming weak, as if he were trapped in an invisible quagmire, unable to resist, and ultimately can only allow the red-armored beast to slowly approach and become its delicacy.

This makes it a headache for all hunters.

Fortunately, this powerful ability of Red Armored Beast also has a huge weakness.

Although its paralyzing fluid is extremely powerful, its spray range is limited, which means that when the Red-Armored Beast launches an attack, it must get close to the hunter in order to be effective.

Smart hunters will often take advantage of this and look for opportunities to attack while keeping their distance.
