Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon
Chapter 406: Longing for a Hero (44k, supplemented on 61 days)
After Bai Zhen finished his dinner, he started to clean up the dishes.
There is no intention of sharing it with everyone.
This scene naturally made the warriors and hunters very dissatisfied.
Everyone secretly cursed Bai Zhen for being selfish.
But they couldn't do anything about Bai Zhen for the moment, as their attitude towards Bai Zhen that day had not been good to begin with.
Those warriors didn't know about the deal between Bai Zhen and the hunter leader, they just thought that Bai Zhen was extremely stingy.
Among the whole team, only the hunter leader was very happy.
If Bai Zhen distributed the food to the warriors and the princess, he would definitely win a lot of goodwill, but by doing so, Bai Zhen would inevitably cause dissatisfaction from the princess.
After all, what woman would like a stingy man?
Thinking of this, the leader of the hunters took out the dried meat that he had purchased in the city before, which had been smoked with various spices.
He found the princess and said, "Your Highness, I have some smoked meat that I bought in the city. Please try some."
When Lingling heard someone calling her, she turned around and looked at the not-so-delicious dried meat.
These dried meats may indeed be better than the ordinary dried meats that are only salty, but they are not as good as the dried meats she brought specially.
But seeing that the other party was kind enough to share his meat jerky, Lingling still picked the smallest piece of meat from the pile, and then smiled politely and thanked him: "Thank you very much for your kindness."
After that, she slowly chewed the dry meat and sighed in her heart: "I really want to eat rice."
The leader of the hunters was extremely happy to see the princess accept the dried meat. While no one was paying attention, he quietly gave a thumbs up to Bai Zhen in the distance.
Bai Zhen frowned when he saw the hunter leader's little trick, not knowing why the other party wanted to thank him.
But Bai Zhen still has a lot of things to do.
Honglong, Xie Mi and other companions have been fed, but the other companions in the small spiritual world have not eaten yet.
Bai Zhen took Xie Mi into the tent and went about his business.
The task of guarding was temporarily given to Honglong.
Bai Zhen walked into the tent, not knowing what to do. The soldiers and hunters cursed in their hearts and went about their own business.
At night, after everyone confirmed that the surrounding environment was safe, they began to rest.
Outside the tent, two soldiers were standing guard. Inside the tent, Her Royal Highness the Princess was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
She was very tired now. She had been traveling almost the whole day. The bumpy feeling of riding on the back of the Crown-Striking Dragon almost broke her bones. She felt that she could fall asleep if she closed her eyes now.
But it’s too hot now!
Although the hunters found a relatively cool place, the temperature here still reached about 34 or 35 degrees. If you lie down and sleep like this, you will be sweating all over in just a short while.
Lingling picked up her pocket watch and checked the time. It was already 9 o'clock in the evening.
Unable to sleep, she put on her coat and prepared to go out to find some way to stay cool.
She wearily opened the tent curtain, only to see that the two soldiers at the door of the tent were sleeping while standing, leaning on their weapons.
Everyone is very tired on this day, so it is very normal to feel sleepy.
Lingling did not disturb the soldiers and quietly walked out of the tent.
Arriving at the center of the camp, she looked around. Both the warriors and hunters were resting at this moment. They slept on the ground without using any other things to increase their comfort. No one had their sleep delayed by this relatively harsh environment.
Lingling sighed softly and almost inaudibly. At this moment, she remembered what Bai Zhen had said during the day when he advised her to return to the Fire Kingdom.
If this continues, I will really become the one who holds them back.
Thinking of this, Lingling quietly prepared to go outside to look for volcanic mint.
Volcanic mint can occasionally be found in volcanic areas. If you can find mint, process it slightly and apply it on your forehead, it can also lower your body's perceived temperature. This is considered one of the secret recipes of the Fire Kingdom.
When Lingling passed by Bai Zhen's tent, she turned her head and looked at Bai Zhen's tightly sealed tent.
She couldn't help but complain in her heart: "Is this person really a master hunter? He knew we were going to a volcanic area, but he still prepared this airtight tent. Even if he bought a new tent in the Fire City, it wouldn't cost that much. How stingy is he?"
The tents in the Fire Nation are different from ordinary tents that focus on insulation. The local tents in the Fire Nation have a hollow design on the top, and the top is also sealed with a breathable material like gauze.
This design allows the heat inside the tent to dissipate from the top.
If a regular thermal tent is used in a volcanic area, it will soon become as hot and stuffy as a sauna.
However, just when Lingling was wondering, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a refreshing cool breeze blew out of the tent.
The cool air instantly made her feel much more comfortable, and even her spirits improved a lot.
She stared at Bai Zhen who came out of the tent with wide eyes.
Bai Zhen held a large iron basin in his hands. In the basin was a huge ice brick with a diameter of two or three meters, and some fresh fruits and vegetables were frozen inside.
Her eyes couldn't help but pass Bai Zhen and see the situation in the tent behind him.
The little green hedgehog-like creature was lying on a carved ice bed. In front of her was an exquisite glass bowl filled with shaved ice topped with strawberry syrup.
Lingling: Am I seeing that?! That’s shaved ice?!
Bai Zhen walked out of the tent, and the tent curtain closed again due to gravity.
The cool air was blocked out, and the surrounding hot air swept over Lingling's whole body again.
The cool feeling just now turned hot again, and even she felt a little upset.
Bai Zhen looked at the princess outside his tent and said in surprise, "Isn't this the noble Princess Lingling? Do you have any instructions for me when you come to see me so late at night?"
"Who?" Lingling just opened her mouth and realized that her voice was a little loud. In order not to disturb the warriors and hunters over there, she lowered her voice and said, "Who is looking for you! I just wanted to go outside and happened to pass by you!"
"Really? If you're going out, be careful and don't get up tomorrow morning and let those loyal soldiers risk their lives to save you."
Originally Lingling wanted to go out alone, but after hearing what Bai Zhen said, she turned around and looked at the very tired Fire Nation warriors, and instantly gave up the idea of going out alone.
Seeing that the princess was not so willful, Bai Zhen stopped choking her.
He came to Honglong holding an iron basin. Bai Zhen put the frozen ice brick with a diameter of two meters into Honglong's food bowl to help Honglong lower his body temperature.
Although Honglong can endure the high temperature of the volcano, she will feel uncomfortable if she stays there for a long time. In order to ensure her future combat effectiveness, some necessary cooling measures are still needed.
What's more, taking good care of one's partners is also one of the trainer's responsibilities.
The Boom Dragon was making a crunching sound while biting the ice brick, which made the Princess of the Fire Nation very envious.
She hesitated for a moment, but lowered her posture and asked Bai Zhen in a gentle tone: "Can I ask where did you get all this ice from?"
Bai Zhen stood up straight. He paused for a second or two and said, "Of course I made these myself. Can't some monsters breathe frost? That's how I made them."
it is as expected!
Lingling had previously guessed that Bai Zhen relied on the power of monsters to create ice in the volcanic area.
Now it seems that the green little hedgehog or the red little turtle has the ability to create ice.
Lingling nervously folded her hands in front of her and asked in a weak tone, "Can you give me some ice?"
She was prepared to be rejected, but she didn't expect Bai Zhen to agree: "Of course."
When Lingling heard this, she was overjoyed. She had never thought that she could actually get ice cubes from this stingy hunter.
But she didn't feel happy for long. As soon as Bai Zhen changed the topic, the smile on her face froze in an instant.
"As long as you return to the Land of Fire with your warriors tomorrow morning, I will give you enough ice and hot meals."
Bai Zhen thought that the princess, who had suffered a lot today, would agree immediately.
But what she didn't expect was that the princess had no intention of backing down at all.
Without saying a word, she took two steps forward and came in front of Bai Zhen. She raised her right foot and wanted to step hard on Bai Zhen.
Bai Zhen noticed something was wrong early on, he just took a step back and easily dodged the kick.
With a thud, Lingling's right foot stepped hard on the hard lava rock. The reaction force made the sore feeling rush along her calf, hip, and spine straight to her brain.
"Ugh~!" She squatted down in pain and rubbed her calves quickly.
She raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She refused to admit defeat and lowered her voice to scold Bai Zhen: "Absolutely not!"
"Really?" Bai Zhen responded calmly, and then said, "If that's the case, then please prove it to me, prove that you are not here to hold us back. If you can prove it, I will apologize for my prejudice."
"I will!" Lingling turned around angrily and limped back to her tent.
Judging from the looks of it, that kick just now involved quite a bit of force.
Bai Zhen also left a way out for the other party and said: "If you regret it, you can also come to me directly. I can send you back quickly."
Lingling turned around and made a face at Bai Zhen. Her attitude was very clear. She would never compromise even if she was beaten to death.
Bai Zhen was not in a hurry either.
This journey has just begun.
There will be a lot of suffering in the future.
And in a place where the two of them didn't notice, the hunter named Ale quietly closed his eyes.
Lingling took advantage of the soldiers' inattention and quietly slipped back into her tent.
Back in the tent, she threw herself on the bed, grabbed the pillow she had brought with her and started punching her with a series of punches, venting her anger.
"Damn it! This is so abominable! How can there be such a disgusting person!!"
She didn't understand why Bai Zhen was targeting her like this.
No matter how hard she thought about it, she couldn't figure out how she had offended Bai Zhen. She had never done anything rude to him!
"Annoying! Stingy! This is definitely the most annoying hunter in the world!! Damn it!"
After venting for a while, the soldier at the door heard the noise inside and asked with concern.
"Your Highness, has something happened?"
Lingling stopped what she was doing, took a deep breath, calmed down, and replied, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"Your Highness, if you have any questions, please feel free to tell us. We will be waiting in front of your tent."
"thank you all."
After thanking the soldiers, Lingling lay weakly on the mattress, hugging the pillow.
She buried her head in the pillow and finally vented her frustration.
After a while, she picked up an old storybook under the pillow and turned sideways.
The white flint in the tent emitted a faint white light, illuminating the large words on the cover of the storybook - The Heroic Legend of Kokot Village.
This book tells the legendary story of a young man from the once heroic dragon tribe.
The story is about a one-horned dragon that appeared near the village of Kokote in the distant past. For the safety of everyone in the village, a young dragon man bravely stood up and defeated the one-horned dragon.
Lingling held the storybook in her arms, turned sideways and curled up her body.
She whispered: "Aren't hunters heroes who save the world? Why are there hunters with such bad personalities?"
After Lingling sighed for a while, she once again opened the heroic biography that she had read countless times.
No matter how many times she read the story of the legendary hero wearing the most ordinary leather armor and defeating a unicorn in seven days and seven nights, it still made her feel excited.
After reading the Hero's Tale again, Lingling took a deep breath and her mood completely improved.
She thought to herself, "Although that guy is very annoying, he is right about one thing. A hunter's hunting is not an outing. If I give up here, wouldn't that make my dream even further away?"
The princess placed the heroic biography in her hand carefully next to the pillow.
She looked at the top of the tent and encouraged herself in her heart.
"Then show some perseverance and make that nasty guy apologize to me!"
Thinking this in her mind, she closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.
But many things cannot be accomplished with just perseverance.
When she woke up the next day, her Royal Highness's eyes were filled with fatigue.
The terrible sleeping conditions last night woke her up several times from the heat, and every time she woke up, her mattress was covered with sweat.
It can be said that she had less than two hours to rest properly. Yesterday's fatigue was not reduced at all, but made her even more tired.
Before she went out, she patted her cheeks and forced herself to cheer up. She put on her signature smile and lifted the curtain of the tent. She took the initiative to greet the Fire Nation warriors outside: "Good morning."
She tried her best to play the role of a princess, but no one responded to her greeting because everyone's attention was not on her.
Lingling walked through the crowd puzzled, curious about what everyone was looking at so early in the morning.
When she squeezed to the front, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
A hundred or two hundred meters away from the camp, Bai Zhen set up a table. He took out a steamer from somewhere and steamed buns.
When Bai Zhen opened the lid, the air was filled with the aroma of flour and meat filling.
Each big white bun tastes so much better than the dried meat in their hands.
At that moment, Bai Zhen raised his head and looked at the princess, then lowered his head and went about his own business.
There was no meaning in that look. He just looked up because he saw someone was looking at him.
But 'the doer is unintentional, the viewer is intentional', the princess immediately interpreted the mockery in Bai Zhen's eyes.
That's obviously telling me to give up quickly!
Her anger suddenly rose again!
She turned around, pushed away the stunned soldiers, and walked towards her tent.
She said angrily in her heart: "I'm so angry! I have to prove it to you!"
Lingling prepared to pack up the tent by herself and planned to start by taking care of herself.
Those soldiers reacted and wanted to help, but were stopped by Lingling.
"I'll pack up the tent myself, you guys go do your own thing! None of you are allowed to help me!"
