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

Over the next few days, Link and the cats and dogs worked together to confirm their respective positions.

By the way, introduce Chu Chu to other hunters in the guild so that they can get to know her.

Then, the Mineyama Dragon Festival arrived.

"Hoo ho ho!!!"

The wind howled, the sky and the earth were all yellow, the sandstorm was like a raging beast, waving its sharp claws and tearing everything around it into pieces. The yellow sand covered the sky and the sun, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.

Link wore windproof glasses to protect himself from the wind and sand.

Chuchu hid behind Link, holding the corner of his clothes tightly with both hands, her face full of worry.

"Damn, why is the sandstorm so strong?"

Link put on the turban commonly worn by the Rockrak people to cover his mouth and nose, otherwise the wind and sand would fill him up.

Even the heavy crossbow on his back was wrapped in a thick layer of cloth to prevent sand from clogging the barrel and causing the weapon to explode.

"Hahahahaha, Link, this is your first time attending the Peak Mountain Dragon Festival, right? This is the specialty of this place."

Even a face mask couldn't hide Soran's always laughing mouth. He stood beside Link and looked up at the sand ship in front of them with him.

The huge sand ship is quietly anchored in the port of Lockrak, like a giant beast lying across the sand, majestic and mysterious.

Its hull is made of huge monster bones, which, after exquisite craftsmanship, become an extremely hard keel frame, giving the ship life and strength.

The thousand-year-old heavy wood has a heavy texture and tight grain. It is cleverly inlaid between the bones, forming the main body of the ship. This makes the sand ship not only strong and durable, but also able to withstand attacks from large monsters without being easily damaged.

"Okay, you two, stop standing here blocking the road, and get on the boat quickly."

Luna stood behind the two of them, patting their backs impatiently, urging them on like she was chasing away birds.

Link and Soran looked at each other, one shook his head helplessly, and the other smiled bitterly and took a step forward.

Of course, it was impossible for Link and his companions to be the only ones on the huge ship. Almost all the hunters who had drunk together in the gathering place before were present, and there were even quite a few unfamiliar faces.

"Link, come over to me."

As soon as he got on the boat and stepped onto the solid wooden deck, Jill, whom he had met before, waved to Link.

Soran patted his shoulder.

"Go ahead, that's the long-range shooter team, I'm going to the other side."

Link nodded, took a deep breath, and walked towards the team of ranged shooters.

On the deck of the huge ship, a group of hunters were divided into many small groups based on their weapons.

When he arrived at the shooter's team, Link found that this side had the largest number of people among all the teams.

Includes light crossbowmen, heavy crossbowmen and archers.

"No, besides the archer, how come there's also a shieldman?"

"Jessica, get out of my team, the gunners' team is over there."

Just as Link was wondering how a gangster got into the team, he saw the little girl named Jessica being kicked out of the team by Jill.

He kicked into a group of spearmen holding shields.

"Wow, why can't a gun rifle be considered a long-range shooter?"

The girl Jessica, who was kicked in the butt, shouted with tears in her eyes.

"You have the nerve to call your close-range artillery fire that can only shoot one meter long-range. It's hard for me to even light a cigarette for an old man."

Gil rolled his eyes, but unfortunately he was wearing a helmet so no one else could see.

After driving away the troublesome gunner, Jill introduced Link to the rest of the team.

"This is the new Link. I guess many of you don't know him."

Jill's voice echoed over the windy and sandy deck, and the team members all looked at the new handsome guy.

They exchanged glances, and finally a young lady with short red hair and a bright and cheerful smile stood up as a representative.

Of course, because she was also wearing a headscarf and windproof glasses, Link could only judge that she was laughing from her exposed hair and her tone.

She patted Link's shoulder and laughed brightly.

"Welcome to join us, Link. You can call me Remule. I'm a six-star shooter. I use a light crossbow as my weapon."

Link nodded and glanced at the shooters present, noting that he had never seen many of them before.

"So there are still so many normal people in the guild?"

Judging from their figures, the shooters present were all older girls, and none of them showed up at the welcome party that day.

What a shame.

Then, the others introduced themselves one by one.

"Welcome, I'm Aphrodite."

This is a beautiful pink-haired sister, let's call her Afu. She glanced at Link and then stared eagerly at Chuchu behind him. If the location was not wrong, she might have rushed over, picked up Chuchu and ran away.

'This is a cat lover.'

Link took a look at the opponent's weapon. It was wrapped tightly, but judging from its size, it should be a heavy crossbow.

Except for the two beautiful girls, Remuel and Afdoka, we will just briefly skip over the rest.

The rest are all blue-haired heavy crossbow shotgunners.

A grenade and heavy crossbow shooter from Guangdong with a cockroach head.

There are purple-haired archers, and there are also white-haired ones who are also archers.

"Hiss, why are they all women? This team is more female than male."

Looking back, Link saw that there were very few men in the group.

No, it’s not that there are very few of them, but rather that all the men have gone to other teams.

Those teams with big swords, katana, and sledgehammers are all full of strong men.

"By the way, Link, be careful during the battle later. There are a lot of rules on our ship."

Remuel's voice was like the warm sunshine in spring. She smiled, and her eyes showed her welcome to Link, her new partner.

"First, Link, you may have noticed that everyone on the ship has their own position and responsibilities. Although we archers do not need to follow as many complicated rules as melee hunters, our rules are just as important."

She pointed to the light crossbow on her back and continued.

"Our main task is to avoid threats from the sky during navigation, so the muzzle of the gun cannot be pointed inside the ship. This is to ensure the safety of our companions and not to hurt innocent people."

Remule paused, as if to give Link some time to digest this information, and then smiled again.

"This rule was set by the captain. It's already very lenient. Those melee hunters are the ones who are suffering."

She smiled and pointed at a group of strong men holding big swords. For some reason, there was a very obvious low pressure in that team, and everyone looked a little dejected.

"In order to maintain the safety of the ship and prevent it from being destroyed by its own people, the captain stipulates that the greatsword cannot use any moves related to charging or smashing the ground."

"Well... that's really tragic."

Link's mouth twitched.

For a hunter using a greatsword, charging is almost the most important move. Without charging, the greatsword loses its soul.

"Then there's the katana. You can't use the air blade because the sword energy it carries will damage the ship's planks, and you'll be scolded by the captain afterwards."

"Forehead......"

Air Blade Douge, the coolest move of the katana, although it is not as good as the greatsword when it loses its charge.

But for some swordsmen, this is the coolest and most important move, and it can barely be considered the soul.

"The hammer, well, like the greatsword, can't hit the ground. It can be used after charging, but it can only be swung horizontally and upwards."

"Then there are the dual blades and the one-handed sword. There are no restrictions on these two weapons. Just make sure that the dual blades don't fall off the boat while you're swinging them. The same goes for the insect stick."

"Finally, there are the chopping axe and the shield axe. These two weapons are extremely powerful, but they also have very strict restrictions on their use."

Link nodded. The chopping axe and shield axe were two huge weapons. They had to be swung vigorously when used and could easily scratch the hull, leaving the ship in tatters.

Apart from anything else, the first, second, third and super solutions of the axe mode of the shield axe are definitely not usable.

Once the most powerful and high-output Liberation Slash is used, it can create a hole more than ten meters long on the hull.

Just as Remuel was about to continue explaining some precautions to Link, the deck beneath his feet vibrated slightly.

Then, a clear and pleasant command came from the bow.
