Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

I remember they were insect eaters and weren't very aggressive, so even if you accidentally caught one, they'd usually be able to run back safely."

Orlan nodded in understanding. Among the other choices before, the Apatosaurus and the Strange Dragon both preyed on humans. Although the Giant Bird also fed on insects and small crustaceans, it had a more violent temperament and many people had been pecked to death by it.

In comparison, although there are many attacks caused by strange monkeys and foxes, they are more like pranks and it is rare to hear of people being killed.

Chef Meow's cooking efficiency was amazing, and the dishes arrived quickly. Jara devoured them with his mouthful of joy, which didn't affect his business. "The strange monkey fox's weakness is fire. You don't have any fire-attribute weapons? There's nothing we can do about that."

Their main weapons are their two front paws and their tails with hooks. They will also spray snot at you. Be careful, because their snot is a highly sticky glue, which will affect your movements. Prepare some deodorizing balls (deodorizing jade) that can dissolve the mucus.

The strange monkey fox is very flexible and good at climbing. Try to find an open area to fight them. If it is an area with dense vines and branches, it will be a headache. This is the opposite of the Honglong.

I wonder what else is there.”

Orlan quickly forked a large piece of roast meat to Jarrah so that eating would not interrupt his thoughts.

"Ah, right, the strange monkey fox has sharp hearing. Flash bombs and sonic boom bombs are both effective against it. If it hangs on the tree and won't come down, you can try these two props.

But be careful, when it gets angry, it will cover its entire face with its big ears. In this case, don't use flash bombs and sonic boom bombs, they are useless.

Well. They can also glide like flying squirrels, and sometimes they can glide and crash, but the speed is not very fast and the power is just so-so, so you know.

There's nothing else to worry about. Just remember one thing: don't get angry, don't get carried away, and take your time. It's not difficult to deal with."

The information Jarrah provided was very detailed. Next, he explained in detail the fighting habits of the strange monkey fox, as well as the recommended strategies, etc. Orlan wrote them down one by one in a memo.

Although he didn't get much from this cat meal, Orlan felt that his chances of a successful hunt would increase by at least 20% to 30%.

After barely filling his stomach, Orlan said goodbye to his companions and seniors, returned to his room to get some more flash bombs and sonic boom bombs, and went to the grocery store to buy some deodorizing jade.

Seabuckthorn also quickly adjusted the charge of the shells and increased the amount of gunpowder used.

Although doing so will weaken the power of the artillery explosion to a certain extent, it also enhances the burning effect, which is similar to the flame bombs commonly used by crossbowmen. It can be said that it makes up for the regret that Orlan has no fire-attribute weapons to a certain extent.

After completing all preparations, Olang set off with sea buckthorn.

The target hunting ground for this mission is in the Ruins Plain. Considering Barubale's current geographical location, it is right at the doorstep.

It took them less than two hours to reach the nearest camp, which was the same camp on the mountainside that they had used when they hunted the Boom Dragon.

Considering the hunter's physical strength, this level of travel is not even a warm-up.

It's still morning, so there's no need to rest.

After putting down the extra supplies and briefly checking their equipment and props, Orlan and Seabuckthorn left the camp and headed straight for the forest area where strange monkeys and foxes frequently appeared.

At the port of Dongdoruma, a merchant ship loaded with goods from the New World slowly came to a stop.

The dock workers who had been waiting there gathered around and prepared to start unloading work, but before the gangway was put up, a small figure jumped down from the side of the ship, scaring the workers.

It was Elu wearing furry "clothing" and a hood.

"Goodbye, Fishball. Be careful on the road."

"Next time you go to the New World, come and take our ship!"

The crew members on the deck waved to Elu with reluctance on their faces.

Elu is furry and cute. Although she doesn’t talk much and doesn’t like to be hugged, she is good at fishing and can make delicious dried fish for everyone. Who wouldn’t like her?

Yuwan turned around and bowed to the crew on the deck as a farewell. Then he tightened the hood on his face and quickly left the dock.

Its home was near the dock, but it did not go back home because it knew that there was no one at home and there was no need to go back to the empty house.

It adjusted the strap of its weapon, picked up the small package it was carrying, and walked towards the residential area further in the city until it arrived at an ordinary residential area.

There are buildings made of blue bricks, a not very spacious walkway, a small yard in front of the door, and neighbors lying on the low wall and chatting with each other.

Different from those luxurious wealthy neighborhoods, the architectural style of this residential area is quite simple, but it has a warm and human touch that makes people relax physically and mentally.

It came to a house, walked into the unlocked yard, nervously adjusted its clothes and face, and then knocked on the door.

"Tuk-tuk-"

Soon, brisk footsteps were heard from inside the door.

Yuwan, standing outside the door, was stunned. Human footsteps couldn't possibly be so light. Was this Elu's footsteps? Did she have other Elu companions?

In an instant, Yuwan's mind was full of thoughts and he subconsciously wanted to run away, but the door had already been opened.

The one who opened the door was indeed another Elu. It was tall and slender, and the tufts of hair on the tips of its ears and the fluffy mane between its chest and neck proved that it had some New World Deter bloodline.

The Elu brushed its soft mane, which had been carefully cared for and shone with golden light, and said, "Meow? Isn't this my sloppy and stupid sister, meow?

Why, seeing your gorgeous brother, you're so disgusting that you want to run away?"

"."

Just as Yuwan was about to turn around, he stopped and his claws stiffened.

It took a deep breath, ran a few steps, and then jumped up. With a clean and neat flying kick, it kicked Elu, who was posing in a sexy manner, into the entrance.

"Why are you here, meow! What are you doing here, meow!"

Without waiting for the angry Elu, who was kicked dizzy by it, to reply, he held its armpits with both hands, lifted it up, and then hugged it tightly in his arms and rubbed it hard!

"Ah! It's Fishball! Long time no see!"

The sassy Elu who had been kicked down jumped up and yelled angrily, "It's so rude to use violence against your brother who you haven't seen for many days!"

After cursing, it looked at its owner who was hugging its sister, "Didn't you see it kick your partner, meow?!"

"Hmm, that looks pretty cool, should I give it a try too?"

"Meow?!"

Chapter 129 Who doesn’t know how to play pranks?

"Wi——"

The giant bees wandered aimlessly in the forest. Compared with the desert area with scarce resources and huge temperature differences between day and night, the warm and stable Ruins Plain was obviously more suitable for the survival of various insects.

Suddenly, a ball of mucus shot out from the shadows of the trees and landed accurately on the slowly flying giant bee.

The mucus stuck to the giant bee's vibrating wing membranes, and the irritating buzzing sound stopped abruptly. The giant bee, having lost the ability to fly, plummeted to the ground.

"Squeak, creak, creak—"

A strange low laugh echoed in the forest, and another ball of mucus fell on the giant bee that was constantly spinning, sticking the struggling bee tightly.

Immediately afterwards, an orange-red figure climbed out from the branches and vines and landed next to the motionless giant bee.

This monster looks so strange.

In terms of overall shape, it looks like a giant monkey, but it is not as fat and strong as monsters like the Peach-haired Beast King.

It has a thin torso, slender limbs, and a long and powerful tail. Excluding the tail, its body length can reach five meters. If the tail is included, it will be more than eight meters long, which is completely classified as a large monster.

But the strangest thing about it is its face. It has a pair of exaggeratedly large ears, coupled with a triangular face. Perhaps this is why its name contains the "fox" factor.

In addition to its ears, it also has a nose that is as curved as an elephant's trunk and can be flexibly rotated. The mucus that previously stuck to the giant bee was the snot sprayed out of this nose.

Big ears, round eyes, a long nose, naturally upturned mouth corners, and a fox-like triangular face make this monster called "Strange Ape Fox" look funny and ridiculous.

It was like a naughty child admiring his own graffiti work, swinging among the vines, circling the giant bee stuck in mucus on the ground, then stretching out its long tail with hooked bone spines, rolled up the giant bee, brought it to its mouth and chewed it until juice splashed everywhere.

But at this moment, a bipedal creature walked out of the forest and came to a place about twenty or thirty meters away from it.

The strange monkey fox stopped eating, tilted its head, and looked at the uninvited guest.

Unlike most large monsters whose first reaction when seeing an invader is to attack, there was no anger in the eyes of the strange ape-fox, only curiosity and teasing.

It has seen this creature before.

These bipedal creatures are very interesting. They will move around with herbivorous dragons and carry many new and interesting things with them. They are not dangerous.

What it likes most is to scare them and then enjoy watching them run away in a panic.

Now that such a "toy" has appeared before him, what should he do with it? Stick it to the ground with his snot? Or go behind it, cover its face with his ears, and scare the shit out of it?

As Orlan stared at the strange ape-fox, he couldn't guess what this strange creature was thinking, but he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Logically speaking, as a hunter, you shouldn't walk up to the monster so brazenly. The best option is to sneak up behind the monster and launch a surprise attack when the monster doesn't notice you.

The reason why he didn't do this was because the hearing and sense of smell of the strange ape fox were very sharp. In the forest full of fallen leaves, it was impossible to hide from the strange ape fox's perception and launch a close-range sneak attack.

As for the other reason, it came from the advice of Brother Jara.

Although the fat guy gave people the impression that he was lazy and unreliable, it was proved that his tactical planning was still sound, otherwise he would not be able to wear that coat made of dragon skin.

According to his advice, try not to fight with the strange monkey fox in the lush forest or in the area with dense vines. These places are the strange monkey fox's home turf. It is best to lure it to the open area for a fight.

As for how to lure the target, generally speaking, you just rush up and chop a few swords, anger the target, and then try to escape.

But Jara said that it was easy to "pull away" the strange monkey-foxes when dealing with them this way. If you want to keep their attention, there are better ways than direct attacks.

The strange monkey fox was thinking about how to play with the human in front of him, but Orlan took action before it.

He opened his arms and waved them around a few times, then rolled over twice on the ground. After standing up, he shouted and screamed again, but no one knew what he was howling about.

Faced with the hunter's mysterious behavior, which he didn't know whether to consider as a provocation or madness, the strange monkey fox was not angry, but became very excited.

It threw aside the half-eaten corpse of the giant bee in its claws and jumped down from the tree.

He imitated the hunters, waving his arms, jumping and flipping over, then shaking his nose, opening his not-so-big mouth, and shouting "squeak, squeak, squeak".

It seemed to be imitating the shouts of hunters, or laughing out loud.

At the moment when the strange monkey fox opened its mouth, Orlan suddenly raised his left arm and fired the pre-loaded dye ball.

At a distance of twenty to thirty meters, the catapult's shooting accuracy was very high, and the dyed ball accurately shot into the mouth of the strange ape fox, and the strong-smelling pink juice splashed all over the mouth and body of the strange ape fox.

"Crunch, squeak!!" The strange monkey-fox that was suddenly attacked shook its head desperately and spit out the strange and pungent dyed fruit juice.

However, the dye used to mark the location of large monsters is not so easy to spit out, and the smell will remain for at least ten hours.

Aolang pointed at the strange monkey fox and laughed a few times, then turned and ran away.

The illustrated guide says that the strange monkey fox loves to play pranks and will be very excited if it successfully plays tricks on people or other monsters.

But only a few experienced hunters know that, contrary to their love of playing pranks, if they are fooled, the monkey fox will be very angry.

The strange monkey-fox, which had looked playful before, had its yellow-green eyes turned red, and hot air was spewing from its mouth and nose. It howled strangely and chased after them like crazy.

Noticing all this, Orlan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the strategy recommended by Brother Jarla was really useful. Should he be said to be worthy of being the one who ran around several hills with the Boom Dragon and finally killed it alive?

The strange monkey fox was very agile, and the forest was its home ground, so the hunter was caught up before he could run too far.

But the hunter was not worried, because the strange monkey fox was not a dragon, so if it was caught, it was caught.

The difficulty in hunting the strange monkey-fox has never been the battle itself, but the fact that this guy is too agile and can easily be led around by it.

Now that he had played a prank and made the strange monkey-fox so angry that it was actively chasing and attacking him, the hunt was half successful.

Facing the attacking strange ape-fox, Orlan suddenly stopped and turned around, unsheathed his sword, revealing his human fangs.

The hunter dodged the attacking claws by turning sideways, twisted his body, swung his arm, and swung the sword backhand, chopping it at the arm of the strange monkey fox.

Without the protection of thick shell and scales, the iron sword [Kagura] easily opened a bleeding wound on the forearm of the strange monkey fox.

"Squeak--" the strange monkey fox let out a cry of pain.

But the hunter's attack would not stop there. As soon as the sword slashed down, Orlang followed up with another thrust, stabbing straight into the face of the strange monkey fox.

Realizing that the "claws" of the bipedal creature in front of it were also very sharp, the strange ape-fox did not dare to be careless. It hung on the branch with one arm to stabilize its body, while swinging its long tail to meet the attack.

The thrusting sword was deflected by the strange monkey fox's long tail, but Orlan did not reveal any flaws.

The slightly tensed muscles all over his body acted like springs, storing the impact transmitted back along the hilt of the sword and then releasing it, forcibly transforming the backward movement into a vertical slash like a sledgehammer.

"Qiang!"

The hunter's sword and the monster's tail hook collided again, and they were evenly matched.

This guy's movements are surprisingly agile.

Aolan tsks softly, "Then let's see who's faster."

With a light shout, Orlang began to transform into a demon, and raised his hand to slash with the red blade. The sword lights of the two swords almost completely overlapped. The first upward slash lifted the long and flexible tail of the strange monkey fox, and the second vertical slash successfully cut another wound on the tail of the strange monkey fox.

"Chiao!"

"Artillery shells are coming, meow!" A familiar meow came from the distance.

Aolan retreated immediately, and the next second, orange-red flames exploded on the strange monkey fox.

The scattered flames ignited the thick and fine fur of the strange ape fox. Fearing the fire, the strange ape fox screamed and fell to the ground, constantly slapping the burning part of its body.
