Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

After making lunch for other companions in the small spirit world.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Bai Zhen put away his fishing rod and returned to the camp with Honglong.

When they returned to the camp, the warriors and hunters were still enjoying lunch.

These hunters went somewhere and killed two lava beasts for lunch.

As experienced hunters, those hunters were quite skilled in barbecue, but the meat was only edible enough.

The seasoning they brought was very simple, just some coarse salt.

Everyone has limited capacity, and when going out hunting, it is good enough to have a hot meal.

Moreover, many monsters have a very keen sense of smell, and only a very few inexperienced hunters would bring bottles and jars of seasonings with them on their journey.

As for why we don’t eat the dry food we carry with us, it is because we consider that the journey will become more and more difficult, and there will be very few opportunities to camp and barbecue with confidence. Keeping an extra meal of dry food now can also provide some additional protection.

Lingling was holding an animal leg in her hand. She looked at the leg whose scales had not been completely scraped off and felt like vomiting.

But seeing the hunters opposite her eating with gusto, she suppressed the nausea in her heart and took a small bite of the beast leg.

As soon as Lingling put the meat in her mouth, she almost retched.

The pungent salty taste mixed with the bloody smell of the animal meat is not delicious at all.

The skin was extremely salty, and the meat inside still had some bright red blood that had not been drained. The rusty taste and the salty taste were very disjointed. Each taste was very unpalatable, and all of them tortured the taste buds at once.

Lingling noticed the gazes of the hunters around her. She suppressed the urge to vomit and swallowed the meat in her mouth.

She kept a polite smile on her face and said, "I'm sorry, I ate a lot in the city not long ago, so I'm a little hungry. You guys eat slowly."

As she said this, she handed the animal leg that she had taken a small bite of to a greedy cat.

The leg is the most delicious part of Lavamon, and Felyn didn't mind at all that the princess took a bite of the leg.

In fact, the leader of the hunters was somewhat tempted when he saw the beast leg in the hand of his own Felynx.

But the princess was watching him, and he knew that there were some things he couldn't say.

Lingling sent the beast leg away and picked up the kettle to rinse her mouth. From beginning to end, the princess maintained the polite royal etiquette and dignity.

Bai Zhen witnessed everything.

If you ask if the master hunter's barbecue skills are really that bad, the answer is naturally no.

It can even be said that the hunter leader's skills are above average.

It can only be said that there are not such good conditions in the wild. It is simply unrealistic to bleed and then pickle freshly killed monster meat.

If you can avoid burning the food, you are experienced.

You should know that Bai Zhen conquered Wenshu's taste buds with a meal of fried sickle-weasel dragon meat, a low-level dish of rarity 2.

The fried sickle-weasel dragon meat is the lowest-grade dish among all the dishes Bai Zhen has made so far.

This shows how bad the food is in the wild.

Bai Zhen knew very well how difficult hunting conditions were for hunters in the wild, and he very much hoped that the ignorant princess would be persuaded to give up.

This is a hunting trip, not a picnic.

As if she had noticed Bai Zhen's gaze, the princess turned to look at Bai Zhen, and their eyes met.

Lingling snorted in her heart, then turned her head away angrily.

From the looks of it, she seemed to be angry about me ignoring her not long ago.

For a moment, Bai Zhen didn't know which one was the true face of this princess: the dignified and majestic side in the living room, the heroic side on the dragon's back, or the slightly childish and playful side.

Bai Zhen thought about it for a moment, then he didn't take it to heart. He waited there for a while, and the hunters and warriors finished their rest.

The team set off again.

This time the team adopted a jogging approach.

From here on, they have officially entered the range of the volcanic mountains. The roads here are very primitive and dangerous, and they may be attacked by large monsters at any time.

Once you enter the volcano, the ground temperature can reach over 50 degrees Celsius, and the surrounding air is so scorching hot that breathing it into your lungs makes you feel as if your lungs are burning.

Honglong could almost ignore the scorching heat of the volcano. Bai Zhen could also ignore it because of his Fireball Slate. Only Xie Mi and Hu Hu could not withstand it.

For this purpose, Bai Zhen also took out the space ball that Tailebagos and Shami had stayed in when he went to the universe not long ago.

In the extreme environment of space, the space ball can allow Shaymi to survive, not to mention the volcanic area.

Less than an hour after entering the volcano, they were attacked by the first lower-level Flame Dragon.

The Flame Dragon has the ability to burrow underground. It can travel freely in magma, and it can also drill holes and roll around in hard magma rocks.

Faced with this first lower-level Flame Dragon, the leader of the hunters, who finally had a chance to show off his abilities, immediately began hunting with his team members.

The weapons used by master hunters are all of the highest level, so it is easy for them to deal with a lower-level Flame Dragon.

The cooperation between these four-member team is very tacit.

The tallest hunter leader, holding a rifle, was defending against the attack of the Flame Dragon in the front.

In the distance, two hunters holding heavy crossbows were attacking as much as they could.

The heavy crossbow is like the Barrett anti-material sniper rifle. Through special accessories, they enable the heavy crossbow to be able to snipe the Flame Dragon from five or six hundred meters away.

The remaining hunter using a light crossbow plays a supporting role in this team.

He could help the leader of the hunters attract the attention of the Flame Dragon, or he could retreat and deal damage like the two heavy crossbow hunters.

Light Crossbow Hunters are relatively flexible, which greatly increases the team's tolerance rate.

This master-level hunting team successfully hunted down the Flame Dragon in just five minutes, leaving it no chance to escape.

While they were hunting, Bai Zhen simply shot the Flame Dragon with a bow and arrow from the periphery, blinding it with one arrow and obtaining the Flame Dragon's lower-level exclusive refresh.

After the hunter team successfully completed the hunt, the hunter leader gave his share of the materials to Bai Zhen in accordance with the contract.

Bai Zhen did not ask for more of the scale materials that were not edible. After asking for a small part of the Flame Dragon's materials, he took away the Flame Dragon's tail meat, ribs and tenderloin first.

Of all the parts of the yan gorgon, the tail is the most delicious, followed by the tenderloin and ribs. The meat of the yan gorgon tastes very much like eel meat, which is a rare delicacy.

The hunters were originally quite critical of Bai Zhen's choice, but when they saw that Bai Zhen took away the unimportant meat, they soon stopped talking.

After the materials of a Flame Dragon were peeled off, everyone returned all the bones and internal organs that could not be taken away to nature.

Supplies in the volcanic area are not abundant, and the meat will soon be eaten by other monsters.

The team moved on.

Although Bai Zhen disdained the character and love-brainedness of these master hunters, these hunters' hunting experience was impeccable.

With a hunter team leading the way, they will be able to determine what kind of monster it is based on the surrounding environment before entering the territory of a powerful monster. When encountering a powerful monster, they will choose to bypass the monster's territory to avoid fighting.

If they encounter weak monsters, they can pass through unimpeded by relying on the might of the Boom Dragon, but if they find any trace of the Flame Dragon, they will directly enter the hunting state.

In one afternoon, the team traveled 20 kilometers and hunted two lower-level Flame Dragons and one higher-level Flame Dragon. Including the 60 kilometers traveled in the morning, they traveled 80 kilometers that day, which was almost one-third of the distance completed.

The route ahead will become increasingly difficult to advance.

At the current speed, it would take three or four days to reach the outpost camp deep in the volcano.

The evening of July 11.

The group found a relatively cool high ground in the volcano and set up camp, preparing to rest there overnight.

As soon as the location was chosen, the hunter named Ale found Bai Zhen and said, "You didn't contribute anything during the daytime hunting, so you should at least make some contribution at night, right?"

So Bai Zhen was ruthlessly left at the most dangerous outermost area.

If a large monster attacks at night, the first to bear the brunt will be Honglong and him.

Bai Zhen didn't want to argue with these people about their decision, and even if he was allowed to go to the innermost part, Honglong would feel uncomfortable due to his large body.

Bai Zhen found a piece of vacant land and set up a tent about 100 meters away from the other party.

The warriors over there were also setting up tents. Generally speaking, hunters don't need such tents. Years of hunting have enabled them to develop the ability to sleep peacefully anywhere, but the princess does not have such an ability, and she really needs a private space.

When Bai Zhen's single tent was set up, the princess's big tent was only one-third set up.

While the warriors were busy, the hunters went to the surrounding area to confirm the situation and see if there were any large monsters nearby.

Lingling sat alone on a huge rock, eating the dry food she brought with her.

Her eyes looked towards Bai Zhen intentionally or unintentionally.

Bai Zhen is really too different. From the beginning, Bai Zhen has never had any communication with those hunters and warriors.

Most of the time they just followed behind me, doing their own things, and their attitude seemed like they were here for tourism.

During the daytime battle, both hunters and warriors participated in the hunt, except Bai Zhen, who was almost indifferent.

Even though everyone in the team now has a lot of opinions about Bai Zhen, and they express them very explicitly, Bai Zhen doesn't take them seriously at all and continues to do his own thing.

After Bai Zhen set up the tent, he took out a folding table from somewhere.

Then he took out a gas stove and some pots and pans from somewhere.

Lingling couldn't help but widen her eyes, and thought in shock: "Is he trying to cook?! Water resources are so scarce now, is he crazy?"

Finding pure water inside a volcano is as difficult as climbing to heaven. Nowadays, even if people are very thirsty, they will try to endure it.

But Bai Zhen actually thought of using water to cook? !

Bai Zhen not only wants to cook, but also wants to steam rice!

Bai Zhen took out the grade 7 rice from his home. He was very particular about the quality and washed the rice thoroughly with water that came from nowhere.

While adding water to the rice and steaming it on the gas stove, Bai Zhen took out the superior-grade Flame Dragon tenderloin that he had just harvested today.

After using a universal tool to wash off all the blood from the tenderloin and marinating it with various seasonings, Bai Zhen built a grill using local materials.

The marinated tenderloins are skewered, brushed with a special teriyaki sauce, and then slowly grilled over charcoal.

After a while, the air was filled with the rich aroma of barbecue, mixed with the fragrant smell of rice.

Just smelling the smell makes one's mouth water.

Smelling the aroma, Lingling quietly swallowed her saliva. She forced herself to turn her head away and not look at the hungry scene.

She took a bite of the dry, hard-to-chew jerky.

I thought to myself, "It's not like I haven't eaten delicious food before. Hunting is much harder than it used to be. And how delicious can the food be in a place like this where there's not enough ingredients?"

Just as she was thinking this.

Suddenly there was a crackling sound from the other side.

She turned around and saw Bai Zhen was actually using the Flame Dragon eggs that he had just collected today to make fried eggs! ?

And Bai Zhen didn't know where he got some fresh fruits and vegetables from. He not only fried a vegetarian dish, but also made a fruit salad! ?

After a while, the rice was steamed.

Bai Zhen took out a large bowl, filled it with white rice, and placed the golden shredded eggs he had just made on the rice, followed by a piece of perfectly roasted tenderloin, and finally poured a spoonful of special teriyaki sauce on it, and sprinkled some white sesame seeds and chopped green onions on it.

This [Teriyaki Flame Dragon Rice] was successfully prepared.

At the same time, Bai Zhen also prepared dinner for Huhu and Xiemi.

Bai Zhen put all the extra roasted tenderloin into a large plate and fed it all to Honglong.

These nearly 200 kilograms of meat are only enough for Honglong to have one meal. If it weren't for the extremely high energy content of the meat here, Honglong would have to eat half a ton to one ton of food a day in her previous life. After all, given Honglong's size, these foods are necessary to maintain her body's daily consumption.

In addition, Bai Zhen also slightly changed the taste of the dinner according to Honglong's preferences, adding some salty taste of secret seasoning.

By the time Bai Zhen finished preparing dinner, the hunters who had gone out to check the surrounding environment had also returned.

They had just returned when they saw this astonishing scene.

They opened their eyes wide as if they were hallucinating.

Bai Zhen took out a chair from somewhere. He faced everyone in the camp and scooped a spoonful of side dish and a mouthful of rice with a spoon.

The crystal clear rice grains are soaked with the brown-red teriyaki sauce, and the perfectly roasted tenderloin and the golden egg shreds are a perfect combination.

After taking a bite, the unique flavor of the Yan Gelong sea dragon was fully released by the freshly prepared teriyaki sauce.

The richness of the shredded egg and the fragrance of the rice grains complement each other, giving people a great sense of satisfaction.

At this moment, everyone looked at Bai Zhen and swallowed their saliva at the same time.

Bai Zhen enjoyed a sumptuous dinner as if no one was around.

This teriyaki rice directly increased the level of his ground-type skills by two levels, and also granted him a bonus of +3 for physical attack and special attack.

It was not until Bai Zhen finished the bowl of rice that everyone reacted.

Someone cursed in a low voice: "What a damn sense of relaxation! Is this person really out hunting? How can someone cook a big meal in the wild!"

Some people also whispered enviously: "But the food he cooked really looks delicious. Can he give us some?"

Some people were so greedy that they prepared to go over and ask Bai Zhen.

But as soon as he approached, Honglong stopped eating and looked at him with great hostility.

After this threat, no one dared to approach Bai Zhen anymore.

After Bai Zhen had eaten and drunk his fill, he glanced at Princess Lingling out of the corner of his eye.

As he expected, the princess' eyes were full of desire.

Bai Zhen nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, very good. If you want to eat it, it's not too late to go back to your Fire Country now."

Bai Zhen was the person in the team who was most opposed to the princess following.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell from the princess’s strength that she was simply a drag.

Bai Zhen doesn't want to have to distract himself from protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess during the final battle.

If it weren't for this princess, Bai Zhen would have no problem distributing food to these brave Fire Nation warriors. Anyway, there was a lot of food stored in Xiemi's small spiritual world, and these warriors' appetites were less than one-fifth of Honglong's. It was just a simple matter, and Bai Zhen would not be stingy.

But with this princess around, Bai Zhen had to be ruthless.

Only by letting this pampered princess know the hardships of hunting can we make the other party give up.
