Will Ditto dream of the Monster Hunter Rathalos?

"Ahaha, what a coincidence, Master Lieren, I, I just came over to change the dressing on the wounded, meow!

I didn’t know Sayoko was staying here too, meow!”

Faced with Alulu's betrayal of his teammates, Ye Zi couldn't get angry in front of Lie Ren.

He could only puff out his cheeks and glare at Alulu, then said to Lieren in a listless tone:

"Sorry, Master. I'll go back to training now."

When leaving the room, no one saw Ye Zi's mouth curled up into an innocent smile.

"Finally... I know the name of my benefactor... Han Xin~"

Looking at Ye Zi's leaving figure, even Han Xin couldn't help but frowned.

"Is he the Flame of Flame Village? He looks older than when we first met.

However, he was really strict with that little girl...Yezi. She was required to continue training even though her injuries hadn't healed yet.

Should I say, truly worthy of being [Flame] and his disciple."

On the other side, Alulu also bowed to Lieren and stood up to leave.

But Lieren said,

"Ms. Alulu, please stay for a moment and help communicate between me and Mr. Melalu."

When Lieren asked her to stay, Alulu's hair stood on end, thinking that he was blaming her for indulging Ye Zi's mischief.

But after hearing that he was asked to help with communication, he breathed a sigh of relief, bowed again, and stood between Han Xin and Lie Ren to act as an interpreter.

Looking at Lieren's face, which showed no emotion or feeling, Han Xin fixed his eyes, feeling that the following conversation would definitely be of great significance.

However, what Han Xin did not expect was that before the communication, the strongest hunter known as Lieyan bowed deeply to Han Xin.

"Thank you for helping Ye Zi escape. I am the village chief of Yanhuo Village. I am a hunter. May I ask your name?"

This thank you made Han Xin slightly stunned, then he waved his hand.

"Um, Han Xin. Helping that little girl is just a piece of cake. Besides that, do you have anything else to say? I'm in a hurry."

After some translation, the hunter raised his body, his eyes revealing a hint of unquestionable pressure.

“To be honest, I do have some questions for you.

Before, when I asked Ye Zi, she refused to reveal any information, as if she was trying to hide something from you.

However, this matter involves the Ancient Dragon, which is a matter of great importance to the entire Hunter Guild. I have to trouble you, Mr. Han Xin,

Could you please describe in detail what happened when you encountered the Jue Yinlong?"

After being stared at, Han Xin was silent for a moment, thinking to himself:

I didn't expect that little girl Ye Zi was so loyal and didn't reveal the truth about her ability to transform. But...

Then he looked at Alulu.

As a villager, does she have the right to know about the ancient dragon's existence? Why does Lie Yan not care about her at all?

Or maybe this medical cat has a different identity.

With this thought in mind, Han Xin also exuded an aura that was no less than Lie Yan's, and snorted with laughter.

"Well, you could say that, but shouldn't the Ancient Dragon and the Jue Silver Dragon be kept secret from ordinary people?"

As he said that, he looked at Alulu.

The latter was stunned at first, then blinked and translated it to Lieyan exactly as it was.

Hearing this, Lie Yan was also shocked.

How did a mere Meralu know that the Hunter Guild would keep the ancient dragon secret from humans?!

The identity of this Meralu is definitely not as simple as it seems.

At this moment, the pressure on both sides immediately changed from offense to defense.

Lie Yan, who had originally had an expressionless face, also had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"...Ms. Alulu has experience in curing rodent viruses, so she knows these things."

"I see."

"Then, Lord Han Xin, could you please explain the details of the battle with Jue Yinlong?"

"Hmm...I can't remember. If there's nothing else, I'll go back."

However, Han Xin just brushed it off lightly. After all, he didn't want to reveal his true colors.

He has the power to transform into any monster. Once the guild's superiors know about this, then in order to protect the safety of all humans, the guild will most likely arrange for people to eliminate him.

Even if they are not currently endangering humans or the ecology, when they think about humans pioneering in a distant new world and being blocked by monsters, they will arrange for a hunter to hunt them down.

Although humans are united in this world, he is not a human. Even in the form of Meralu, he still prefers to become a dragon.

So Han Xin got out of bed and prepared to leave and return to the abandoned shrine.

As if he had expected this, Lieren did not continue to ask questions, but instead stepped aside and did not stop him.

But just as Han Xin was about to leave, Lie Ren said:

"I will not stop you, Lord Han Xin, from leaving, but I still want to remind you that the Wasted God Community is in great danger right now.

Fortunately, our guild has already moved the body of the Duke Silver Dragon away, which can reduce the number of monsters that covet the ancient dragon's energy and gather here.

If you go back now, you probably won't encounter any monsters that are attracted to you."

Lie Ren was certain that Han Xin's hasty departure was definitely related to Jue Yinlong, and he revealed this information intentionally or unintentionally.

Just as Lieren expected, Han Xin stopped.

Although it wasn't exactly gnashing of teeth, he still let out a click of his tongue.

Since the body of Jue Yinlong could not be absorbed, Han Xin no longer had a reason to worry.

Suddenly, he thought of something, so he turned around and looked at Lie Ren, ready to ask about other things.

"Your name is... Lieren, right? I have something to ask you.

In the past few years, several special monsters should have appeared in the Abandoned Shrine. After this incident, your airships should strengthen their observation of the Abandoned Shrine.

It is unknown whether these special individuals... and their family members survived."

Instead of going to the territories one by one to observe, it is better to rely on the power of the guild, which can save some effort.

"I didn't expect Mr. Han Xin to be so concerned about these special individuals."

"Well... I live in the wild, so naturally I'm quite interested in these wonderful creatures created by nature, so I'm a little concerned."

In a sense, Han Xin was not wrong.

“Well, although Mr. Han Xin is a Meraloo, I didn’t expect that he also has such appreciation and awe for nature.

You are right. We have indeed strengthened our observation of the abandoned shrine. During this period,

Earlier, we discovered two individuals of the Kamaitosaurus, the Umbrellabird, the Velociraptor, and the Thunder Dragon.

Name them [Silver Blind], [Flashing Flame], [Emerald Shadow], and [Black Gold Thunder] respectively.

Furthermore, a rare species of female Rathalos, the Golden Rathalos, was discovered."

After hearing what Lieren said, Han Xin's eyes lit up.

These completely coincided with the characteristics of his family members, and then he said excitedly:

"Have they and their family members been affected by this incident?"

However, Lieren paused, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smirk.

"Hmm...I can't remember. After all, I'm old and my memory is very poor."

"whispering sound!"

Han Xin naturally knew that there was something behind what Lao Deng said. While he was amazed, he also had to admire that the old man was indeed the wisest.

But out of concern for his family, Han Xin was a little impatient.

Then he sighed and answered the first question that Lieren threw at him.

"Hey, now that you mentioned special individuals, I suddenly remembered.

In fact, that day, I was hunting outside as usual, and suddenly a black male fire dragon appeared and fought with the silver dragon that also appeared suddenly.

It just so happened that Miss Yezi and I were caught in the middle, and the situation was critical, so we helped her, but you know the result, we were both injured."

In a sense, Han Xin did not lie.

But the biggest lie in the world,

Nothing is worse than telling only half the truth.

"A black fire dragon... could it be the Black Flame King that was once recorded by the Dragon Calendar Institute? No... isn't there only one Black Flame King in the records?

And he was also hunted by the then chief hunter of the Dragon Calendar Institute sixty years ago.

Even if a new Black Flame King appears, can it bring the ancient dragon, the Silver Dragon, to the brink of death..."

Sure enough, Han Xin's half-truth made Lieren fall into deep thought. He held his chin, and a rare trace of hesitation appeared in his resolute eyes.

Then, Lieren looked at Han Xin, trying to catch the evasiveness in his eyes.

But Han Xin did not avoid it at all, instead he met the gaze without changing his expression.

After a moment, Lieren sighed. As a legendary hunter, he believed that his insight was as good as anyone else's.

It was this confidence that made him believe that Han Xin did not lie. Although he still had many questions, facing Ye Zi's benefactor and the wounded, Lie Ren did not want to continue asking questions.

Then he patted his head gently.

"Ah... Now that you mention it, I remember that those special individuals you mentioned, and their family members, are also active in the Abandoned Shrine.

Although it is unknown why, there are no males around the female individuals.

On the other hand, as nature's coordinators, as long as these monsters don't harm humans, there's no need for us to hunt them, and they're also excellent research subjects for scholars."

Sure enough, the saying that the older you get, the more magical you become is also applicable to hunters.

Rather than competing with this old hunter, I would rather kill another map king.
