Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Early in the morning, under Bai Zhen's influence, the princess began to pack up her tent herself.

Originally, Bai Zhen thought that the other party was the kind of person who lived a life of luxury and would not be able to pack up a tent.

But to his surprise, the princess seemed to have practiced it a long time ago.

Packing up the tent was fairly quick, but it delayed our departure by about 10 minutes.

Anyway, when Bai Zhen had finished breakfast and packed up his things, the princess was still setting up her tent.

When she finally set up the tent, she didn't even have time to eat. She just rode on her Crownthroat and prepared to set off.

She didn't need to get up in the morning and cook like Bai Zhen did. She could eat dry food while riding on the dragon's back.

The situation inside the volcano has become increasingly dangerous recently. Today's route may require us to take a slightly longer detour. In addition, yesterday's distance was not ideal at all. At yesterday's speed, it may take four or five days to reach the camp outpost deep in the volcano.

Taking into account the lack of supplies and other reasons, everyone decided not to rest at noon today, but to march directly until the evening before resting.

Originally, everyone considered that the princess might not be able to withstand such high-intensity marching, so they planned to march for an hour or two and then rest for half an hour.

But at the princess's own strong request, everyone decided to proceed according to the original plan.

On the dragon's back, Lingling held some dry food in her hands and was about to have breakfast, but the bumpy trot of the Crown Dragon made her bite her tongue.

She had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​eating temporarily.

The team's progress on the second day was not as smooth as on the first day.

The next day, not long after they set out on their journey, they encountered the "bisozoku" in the volcanic area - the Explosive Hammer Dragon.

There is a thick golden shell on the back of the Explosive Hammer Dragon, called the "heat-resistant shell", with many bumps on the surface like tire treads. Because the heat-resistant shell will continue to grow throughout life, the Explosive Hammer Dragon must polish it frequently, and the polished heat-resistant shell will reflect dazzling golden light like a mirror.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon is almost the same thickness from head to tail, and its hind legs are right at the center of gravity of its body. What it is best at is curling up its whole body and rolling in a wheel shape.

When it rolls, it will also shake off the "gunpowder rock" that is usually stuck to its body. As long as the Explosive Hammer Dragon hits the ground heavily with its hammer-like hard chin, it can directly detonate the gunpowder rock, causing large-scale explosion damage to the surrounding enemies.

The Blast Hammer Dragon is one of the most dangerous monsters for a team like theirs.

It’s not that the ecological niche of the Blast Hammer Dragon is very high. The strength of the Blast Hammer Dragon is not that strong. Described by racial value, it has a racial value of only 500 points at most. Compared with those map kings with racial values ​​of more than 540 points, it is very different.

The most troublesome thing is the extremely wide range of gunpowder rocks. Once these rocks are shaken off, they can easily directly affect everyone's mounts, causing the death of the mounts.

In addition, because the Blast Hammer Dragon often rolls around in the volcano, the traces of this monster are difficult to track. Sometimes you see traces, but you can't see the Blast Hammer Dragon after being on guard for a long time. Sometimes you don't see any traces, and it is common for the Blast Hammer Dragon to roll directly towards your face.

And they are now facing the latter situation.

There was a rumbling sound in the distance and the ground was shaking wildly.

The leader of the hunters realized that something was wrong and shouted, "It's a Explosive Hammer Dragon, be careful to avoid the Gunpowder Rock!"

The hunters and warriors immediately tightened the reins and dodged to the side.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon rumbled past them about 30 meters away, and its tire-like body threw out a lot of dense gunpowder rocks due to inertia. Those gunpowder rocks were about ten meters away from the warriors and hunters.

The explosion range has not yet reached them.

After the Explosive Hammer Dragon rolled over, its target was directly the huge Blastoise Dragon.

Everyone looked at Honglong at the same time, who showed no intention of dodging.

Facing this huge 'wheel', the Boom Dragon relied on her core strength to lift her upper body. She raised her front paws and held off the incoming Explosive Hammer Dragon.

呲味味~

The sharp claws on the forelimbs of the Boom Dragon and the heat-resistant shell on the back of the Hammer Dragon rubbed against each other to produce real flames.

The hind legs of the Bombosaurus were firmly supported on the ground, and its hind claws plowed a deep ravine about ten meters deep in the hard lava rock.

The heart of the Honglong beat as hard as a heavy drum.

Honglong activated her own explosive heart, and her power increased suddenly!

She stopped the Explosive Dragon's dragon chariot with her bare hands!

With a sideways swing, the Boom Dragon knocked the Explosive Hammer Dragon to the ground, revealing its relatively soft abdomen and throat.

The Booming Dragon used both claws, one claw pressed down the head of the Exploding Hammer Dragon tightly, and the other claw held the opponent's center of gravity, preventing the Exploding Hammer Dragon from turning over.

Aiming at the throat of the Explosive Hammer Dragon, the Booming Dragon bit it. With her amazing bite force, she could break even the hardest dragon bones. Now, it took her no effort at all to just bite through the dragon skin outside the throat.

Being bitten in the fatal part of the throat, the Hammer Dragon panicked and released a pale white gas from its abdomen.

Those gases have a very strong hypnotic effect, and the Honglong will also be affected by this hypnotic gas and show slight weakness.

When these gases are released, extremely high temperatures are released from under the Explosive Hammer Dragon's body, and the gases are instantly ignited and explode!

The violent explosion temporarily repelled the Honglong.

After regaining control of his body, Blast Dragon exerted force on all his muscles and stood up from the ground again.

"Roar!" Explosive Hammer Dragon roared angrily at the Boom Dragon that invaded his territory.

Honglong shook her head and finally woke up. She had just been affected by the hypnotic gas, but now the gas was completely cleared away by her powerful metabolism.

Bai Zhen quickly took a look at the panel of the Explosive Hammer Dragon.

Level 76, master-level Explosive Hammer Dragon, attributes fire + rock.

Quadruple weak to Ground, quadruple weak to Water, and twice weak to Rock and Fighting-type moves.

The feature is called 'Mineralized Shell'.

With this trait, the Blasting Dragon's racial stats are increased by 20 points each, but ice-type and dragon-type moves can cause double damage to it.

Taking into account his original racial value of around 500 points, his current racial value can reach 540 points.

But his skill rarity is a combination of several rarity 5 moves and two rarity 6 skills.

The hypnotic gas and igniting gas abilities just now are rarity 5 moves.

It's really not that strong.

Bai Zhen patted Honglong on the back and whispered, "Let's try that move and use the ancient power!"

Bright yellow energy suddenly burst out from Honglong's body, and countless stones gathered around him.

In just one or two seconds, the Honglong condensed rocks with a diameter of 30 centimeters.

Ever since Boom Dragon learned the primal power and evolved this skill into the ancient power.

This skill is transformed from a special move into a physical move, and the power of the move is increased by the physical attack of the Dragonite.

The Boom Dragon pushed its front paws forward, and about twenty or thirty rocks shot towards the Hammer Dragon like bullets.

dong dong dong——!

The power of those rocks was so great that no matter how strong the defense of the Explosive Hammer Dragon was, he was still staggered by the double attribute restraint.

Just as the Blast Hammer Dragon was about to stand firm and fight back, there was a roar of thunder and lightning in the air.

The whole body of the Honglong is covered with blue-green electric current!

Thunderous acceleration!

The moment the dragon rushed out, thunder and lightning exploded!

The Boom Dragon rushed to the front of the Explosive Hammer Dragon at a speed that was difficult for anyone to catch.

She aimed at the center of gravity of the Explosive Hammer Dragon and swung her claws down heavily, and electricity screamed in the air.

After being hit in the vitals, the Explosive Hammer Dragon could no longer maintain its center of gravity and fell to the ground again.

The Honglong bit the opponent's throat again.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon wanted to use the same trick again and release hypnotic gas to force the Boom Dragon back, but how could Bai Zhen give him a chance to fight back this time?

"Shaymi, purify! Huhu, use attack to split!"

At the same time, Bai Zhen used the skill [True. Reversal].

Xie Mi absorbed the hypnotic gas into his body, and Hu Hu used his less than 50 points of attack to share the attack with the opponent.

Bai Zhen directly reversed the change in Explosive Hammer Dragon's abilities, causing his originally increased defense to decrease.

At this moment, the Explosive Hammer Dragon became unprecedentedly weak!

After being bitten on the vitals, the Explosive Hammer Dragon struggled for dozens of seconds before finally dying.

The Honglong finally successfully bit off the opponent's throat and completed the hunt!

The whole process, from encountering the Explosive Hammer Dragon to hunting the Explosive Hammer Dragon, took less than a minute.

Bai Zhen turned to look at the hunters and warriors over there and shouted, "According to the rules, this Explosive Hammer Dragon is my trophy, right?"

No one reacted at this moment, and Bai Zhen didn't necessarily need a response from the other party, he just said hello.

Bai Zhen jumped off the dragon's back and asked Honglong to help block the vision of those knights and warriors. He quietly came to the belly of Bakuhammer Dragon, activated the power of the monster slate, and prepared to refine the clone.

The skills of this Explosive Hammer Dragon are not very good, and are only around level 10 on average.

But the attributes of the Hammer Dragon are good. The fire + rock attributes can resist fire-type moves four times.

Since we know that the next opponent is the Flame Dragon, refining one more clone can provide an extra layer of insurance for future battles.

The refining process went very smoothly.

After refining, the Explosive Hammer Dragon clone looks much larger than its other clones, and its height is about 2.5 meters.

The clone's appearance is that of a dragon wearing explosive hammer armor, and the weapons in his hands are a sledgehammer and a shield.

The clone's weapon is directly related to the original owner who refined the soul.

Jie Yuan Zhentian is the clone of Yuan Hu Long, and uses a spear similar to Yuan Hu Long's tail.

The clone of the Overlord Bubble Fox Dragon uses a special longbow that can fire bubbles at a distance.

This clone of the Hammer Dragon uses a heavy hammer similar to the fat chin of the Gangchanmon and a shield that looks like the back armor of the Hammer Dragon.

The bad news is that the attributes of the clone are consistent with Bai Zhen's own attributes. Even with the blessing of skills like Monster Blood, the clone is still as fragile, and the clone cannot be equipped with full armor.

The good news is that the clone's weapon is not affected by Bai Zhen's attributes.

The strength of the clone's weapon is linked to the soul's original owner.

For example, the shield in the hands of the Blast Hammer Dragon clone inherits the defense value of the original owner, and the weapon also has the strength of the original owner.

This has greatly improved the practicality of the clone.

This shield has 230 physical defense and 210 special defense, and the defense of this shield can be improved by the clone's own enhanced moves.

I believe that he will be able to shine in the battle in the near future.

After refining the clone, Bai Zhen quietly put the clone back into his own shadow.

Then Bai Zhen took out the universal tool and began to peel off the materials he needed. When he put his hands on the Explosive Hammer Dragon, all the information about those materials appeared in his mind.

Bai Zhen also knew how to perfectly extract these materials.

He was like a seasoned material extraction expert, quickly dissecting the corpse of the Explosive Hammer Dragon with the help of a universal tool that saved 100% of the effort.

While Bai Zhen was busy, the warriors and hunters over there were riding on the dragon's back for a long time without speaking.

It's really abnormal!

It's not that they haven't seen Boom Dragons before. People from the Fire Nation have all dealt with Boom Dragons to some extent, and master hunters have also taken on the task of defeating Boom Dragons.

But the dragon before them was far different from the dragon they were familiar with!

How did the rock condense?! Also, does the dragon have a battery bag in its body? Why can it release electricity so quickly?

They now have a sense of unreality that things that they are so familiar with suddenly become strange.

Everyone discussed it in a low voice, but no one knew the answer. Only the host Bai Zhen knew the reason.

Bai Zhen did not waste much time. It only took him 20 minutes to dissect this huge monster which was 30 meters long.

All the materials that can be taken away are frozen and placed in the small spiritual world, and some materials that cannot be taken away are left in place and returned to nature.

Bai Zhen rode on the Honglong again, and drove the Honglong to the side of the crowd and said, "Sorry for the long wait, let's keep going."

The way those Fire Nation warriors looked at Bai Zhen changed.

The strong are respected wherever they go.

That Explosive Hammer Dragon was a master-level target no matter how you looked at it, but it was hunted down by Bai Zhen and Hong Long within a minute.

"With such strong strength, it doesn't matter if you're a little stingy, right?"

"During the hunting process, others are not obliged to cook for us. As long as he can solve the crisis of the Fire Nation, we can't ask too much of him."

Not to mention the hunters, the core conflict between these Fire Nation warriors and Bai Zhen is actually that Bai Zhen made almost no contribution yesterday. Every time other hunters finished hunting, he was shamelessly the first to get the monster materials.

Compared with the contributions of other hunters, Bai Zhen’s actions are not pleasing.

However, this hunting trip today directly established Bai Zhen's status as a strong man.

In this hunting mission, safety is the first requirement, and other food and drink conditions are secondary.

If you can exchange a few days of suffering for the protection of a strong person, it would be a great deal.

Among the four hunters, the leader had a bad expression. The hunter named Ale remained silent and no one knew what he was thinking.

However, the other two hunters looked at Bai Zhen with admiration.

If their team were to hunt the Explosive Hammer Dragon, it would take at least half an hour to successfully hunt it.

The hard shell of the Blast Hammer Dragon is very difficult to deal with. If you want to break the opponent's defense in battle, the easiest way is to use the very precious [Armor-Removing Grenade].

But if they used this kind of ammunition here, the rest of the battles would become extremely difficult.

Now Bai Zhen solved the Explosive Hammer Dragon so easily, which can be regarded as saving the team from crisis in disguise.

The light crossbow hunter whispered, "It's amazing that he could tame a dragon like that. This dragon might be a very special individual. I don't know how he tamed it."

Another heavy crossbow hunter who had visions for the future was also thinking: "The battle with the monster knight looks much easier. Could it be that knights are the future development direction?"

These two hunters have no direct conflict of interest with Bai Zhen. Now that Bai Zhen has demonstrated his powerful abilities, they naturally don't have too many opinions about Bai Zhen, and they even want to have a little communication with Bai Zhen.

Lingling looked at the Honglong under Bai Zhen in silence. The powerful fighting power made her extremely curious.

She really wanted to ask Bai Zhen about Honglong.

But now is obviously not the time to chat, Bai Zhen made preparations, and everyone set off again, heading towards the depths of the volcano.

Less than ten minutes after starting, Lingling's stomach growled.

She covered her stomach and thought to herself that it was a bad decision.

It was clearly the best time to eat, but I was so engrossed in watching the battle between the dragons that I forgot about eating.

She took out her pocket watch and looked at it. Before the short break at noon, she still had seven or eight hours to go.

She secretly thought to herself: "Can I really hold on until then?"
