Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

The group continued on their way; the environment inside the volcano was not so easy to travel through.

In some rugged places, everyone had to carefully use a hoist to pull the mounts and luggage to the top.

If they encounter a narrow lava field, in order to save five or six hours of travel, everyone will use local materials to pave a path directly in the lava.

If it encounters a hillside that needs to be climbed, the Honglong's sharp hook-like claws can directly hook through the rock, and then use its strong forelimbs to climb up directly.

When encountering a lava gully, the Bomb Dragon can smash the rocks with force and then fill the gully with its own tremendous strength.

On this day's journey, the group only advanced about 40 kilometers.

On the way, they encountered a superior level Flame Dragon. Bai Zhen did not take any action against the Flame Dragon. Instead, the hunters and warriors joined forces to defeat and kill it.

In terms of material distribution, because the warriors were participating in hunting, Bai Zhen's priority in selecting materials was delayed a lot.

What greatly surprised Bai Zhen was that those warriors and hunters did not choose more valuable materials such as scales and jaws, but chose the tail meat, tenderloin and so on of the Flame Dragon.

In the end, what was left for Shiro was really a pile of inedible material.

These materials can be sold for money, so Bai Zhen doesn't mind accepting them.

As for Princess Lingling, Bai Zhen originally thought that today's urgent march would make this ignorant princess give up.

Unexpectedly, she persisted and did very well.

When she encountered high ground and needed to be pulled up, she would go to the master hunters to learn how to tie a live rope, and she would concentrate on taking care of herself. Even if her hair was burned a little due to the high temperature, she did not complain at all.

When she encounters lava that needs to be paved, she will personally go and move the stones.

Although these things are the most basic for a hunter and are not worthy of praise, considering the other party's identity, Bai Zhen still looked at her with some admiration.

Apart from these small things, Lingling has also made some contributions.

She also participated in the battle against the Flame Dragon.

The weapons she uses are relatively light twin swords.

Unable to engage in direct combat with the Flame Dragon due to limitations of her weapons, she unleashed the might of [Favor of the Fire Elf King] and used her own mysterious senses to direct everyone to dodge the Flame Dragon's burrowing attacks.

Thanks to her command, we didn't lose our mount here. If we had lost our mount here, the journey would have been even more difficult.

However, it cannot be said that this princess, who had almost no experience in wild hunting before, was gifted and made the most of her abilities when she participated in this difficult mission for the first time.

She also made a lot of common sense mistakes, such as not knowing the existence of hidden lava tubes in the volcano, rashly leaving the team to explore, and almost falling into the pit with the dragon.

There are also cases where people want to collect a water-rich plant to quench their thirst, but because they misjudge two similar plants, they often develop symptoms of poisoning.

It can be said that there were many small mistakes. If the princess had not been accompanied by ten experienced Fire Nation warriors and four master hunters, her journey would have ended here.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, everyone found a safe open space in the volcanic mountains to camp and rest.

Now have a good rest and hit the road again at 4 am the next day.

At today's pace, it will take about two days to reach the deep camp.

The route ahead will become increasingly difficult and dangerous.

Inside the camp, Bai Zhen still deliberately kept a distance of one or two hundred meters from the many hunters and warriors.

He had just pulled the tent out of the small spiritual world when there was a sudden bang about five or six meters away from him, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

Bai Zhen looked over in surprise, and saw Princess Lingling holding her tent and coming to a place not far from him, followed by the Fire Nation warriors.

Lingling clapped her hands, turned around and said to the Fire Nation warriors, "My tent is set up here. You don't need to have anyone guarding outside my tent at night."

A group of people hurriedly advised: "Your Highness, please think twice! This is outside the camp, and it is very dangerous!"

"You have seen the battle during the day. There is no place safer than by the side of the Honglong."

The Fire Nation warriors looked at the standing Dragonite with fear. They kept a safe distance of about 20 to 30 meters from the Dragonite.

The strength of the Honglong is obvious to everyone. Moreover, with the Honglong around, small monsters dare not approach. Large monsters will attract the attention of the Honglong as soon as they approach. It is indeed the safest place.

But

The danger here is not just the threat of monsters.

The Fire Nation warriors looked over there at Bai Zhen.

The meaning in that look was obvious.

Bai Zhen saw the meaning in the eyes of those Fire Nation warriors. In order to avoid trouble, he said to the princess, "Pitch the tent somewhere else, at least 50 meters away from me."

"I won't! This is not your private territory. It's my freedom to camp wherever I want. Anyway, I'm going to live here. If you're not satisfied, you can just order your dragon to eat me."

As a hunter, you need to make good use of the terrain and surrounding resources.

If the Fire Nation warriors can get a good rest at night, it doesn't matter even if they sleep directly in the arms of Honglong.

Anyway, it's a tamed monster, can it really be eaten?

Bai Zhen roughly understood what the princess was thinking.

This is totally treating me as a map resource.

Knowing that he couldn't drive the other party away, Bai Zhen transformed into an iron rod, drew a straight line on the ground and said, "Don't cross this line. If you cross this line and attack me at night, I will hang you up all night."

"Huh?!" Lingling and those soldiers stared at Bai Zhen with wide eyes.

Night attack on you?

Shouldn't our princess be the one saying this?!

Lingling was furious: "Why would I attack you at night? You are too narcissistic!"

"It's better not to." Bai Zhen replied indifferently, then turned around and went about his own business.

The concerns of these soldiers are not unreasonable. Although he has no idea, it is inevitable that people will think so.

If you can express your attitude in a joking way like this, you can avoid some trouble.

Seeing Bai Zhen leaving, Lingling, who had no place to vent her anger, stomped her foot hard on the ground and said angrily, "Asshole! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm so pissed off! How can there be such a disgusting person in the world!

Bai Zhen’s words were a complete humiliation!

This is an insult to her personality and aesthetics!

Even if I like mushroom pigs, there is no way I can fall in love with this stingy, narcissistic hunter!

"Damn it! Damn it!" Lingling angrily vented her frustration.

The Fire Nation warriors were frightened by the angry look of their princess.

Is this really the quiet and elegant princess we know?

The leader of the soldiers wanted to persuade him again: "Your Highness the Princess."

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately attracted Lingling's depression.

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

The unhappy look on his face gave people a very scary feeling. The leader of the warriors was also frightened. He swallowed back the words he wanted to persuade. He forced a smile and said, "We are not far away. Your Highness, if you need anything, you can tell us."

"I understand. You guys should step back and have a good rest."

"Yes!"

The warrior leader felt as if he had been pardoned, and quickly led his team members to retreat a hundred meters away, standing between the hunter and Bai Zhen.

In today's hunt, anyone with a discerning eye could see why Bai Zhen was able to get a share of the Flame Dragon's materials despite not hunting the Flame Dragon.

There was obviously a deal between Bai Zhen and the hunter leader involved, and the hunter leader asked Bai Zhen not to act arbitrarily.

If you ask the reason, it is obviously related to your own princess.

Judging from what Bai Zhen said just now, if he really wants to protect the innocence of his princess, he might as well be more wary of the hunters over there.

After watching her warriors retreat to a safe distance because of fear of the dragon, Lingling took a deep breath and calmed down the depression in her heart.

When encountering such a nasty guy, no matter how angry you are, it is meaningless. What you need to do now is "revenge"!

"I must prove that I am not here to hold back, and then make this annoying guy apologize! I won't accept an ordinary apology, I must make him kneel down and apologize! In addition, I will find a hero hunter like the chief of Kokot Village to let this narcissistic guy see how big the gap is between him and a real hero!"

goo~

At this time, Lingling's stomach rumbled with hunger again.

Fantasy and ambition cannot fill the stomach.

The gravitational pull of reality is greater than we imagine.

Lingling touched her belly and turned to look at the pile of tents behind her that had not yet been opened.

"Let's spread out the tent first. We can talk about eating after the tent is set up."

Lingling took out the tent. Looking at the densely packed pillars and layers of tarpaulin in front of her, she didn't know where to start.

“How do you unfold this tent?”

It is easy to dismantle a tent, but it is difficult to put it back together, especially when the tent has a very complicated structure.

Lingling thought carefully about how she had dismantled the tent in the morning, but because she was in a hurry, she did not deliberately remember the structure of the tent.

She crossed her arms in distress and hesitated for about three or four seconds. She then decided to try to match it first.

But she tried for a long time and still couldn't erect the pillars. There were more than a thousand long and short pillars in total, and without the instruction manual, she couldn't assemble them at all.

Helplessly, she could only go to the Fire Nation warriors to ask for advice on how to set up the tent.

After getting instructions from the soldiers, Lingling finally mastered the trick and set up the tent crookedly.

The whole tent looks very unstable, as if it could be blown away by a strong wind.

The good news is that the campsite they chose is in a relatively closed environment and there will basically be no strong winds.

The bad news is that this campsite is two to three degrees hotter than the one we chose last night.

Lingling was still immersed in the joy of setting up the tent by herself.

She heard the conversation between Bai Zhen and Hong Long not far away.

"You've fought hard today, this is your reward."

Bai Zhen placed the roasted dragon legs on a plate for Honglong to enjoy.

At the same time, Bai Zhen checked Honglong's injuries while he was eating.

In the battle with the Blast Dragon, Hong Long was not completely unscathed. And when challenging the Flame Dragon today, although Hong Long had been watching the show from a distance, when Flame Dragon tried to escape, she also tried to stop him. In the process of stopping him, she was also attacked by Flame Dragon before his death.

After checking Honglong's injuries and confirming that they had basically healed.

Bai Zhen patted Honglong's head and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me. You can't completely metabolize the volcanic ash and poisonous gas from the volcano. Those will seriously affect your life span. I will prepare liver-protecting food for you later."

Honglong rubbed Bai Zhen affectionately with his huge head to show that he understood.

Lingling looked at the warm smile on Bai Zhen's face and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "It turns out that this narcissistic guy can show such a gentle expression! If he could share half of his gentleness with humans, no, just one third, then those warriors and hunters wouldn't just look at him and avoid him."

Lingling silently withdrew her gaze. She smelled the fragrant aroma of barbecue in the air and her stomach began to growl again.

She remembered that she had also received some of the Yan Gelong's meat during the day.

"I'll cook for you myself tonight. Dry food is so precious, and there's no need to rush to finish it all at once."

Lingling took out the tenderloin that was allocated to her from the luggage.

She had no experience in cooking, but she had seen how Bai Zhen cooked last night. It was just baking, so wouldn't it be enough to have hands?

Cooking doesn’t seem that complicated.

Soon she imitated Bai Zhen and built a grill. At the same time, she learned the hunters' fire-making skills and used local materials to start a fire.

She squatted beside the grill and sliced ​​the tenderloin with her double knives. Then she rinsed the blood foam off the meat. She didn't have any props like bamboo sticks, so she thought for a moment and then directly put one of her double knives on the fire to grill.

Once the knife was hot, she placed the tenderloin on the blade.

Zizzi~

When the meat is heated it starts to shrink and change color.

Lingling showed joy on her face, but in the blink of an eye, the meat turned into a burnt shape!

Lingling was startled. She quickly picked up her two swords and tried to take the meat slices off with chopsticks, but she was surprised to find that the charred meat was stuck to her two swords and could not be removed even by pulling them off.

"What's going on?" Lingling thought she didn't control the heat well, so she tried again, but the result was obvious, the meat was still burnt.

The burnt smell was really unpleasant, and the two swords that were originally shiny and bright now had two large black marks on them.

At this time, Bai Zhen couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "You really don't know how to cook at all."

Lingling turned to look at Bai Zhen, who was holding a freshly made burrito in his hand, watching her joke as if he was watching a show.

Lingling blushed and said stubbornly, "I'm just testing the temperature. I'm not serious yet!"

After saying that, she put another piece of meat on the grill, and two seconds later she turned it over and grilled it for another two seconds. Finally, she picked it up at a very fast speed. She took a closer look and found that there were no signs of burnt marks on the surface of the meat, so it looked good.

"See? I told you I was just testing the temperature. If I pay attention, it's just a simple thing like cooking, isn't it easy?"

Lingling sprinkled a little coarse salt on the surface of the meat with satisfaction, then put it in her mouth, ready to enjoy her masterpiece.

But as soon as the meat entered her mouth, she chewed it for a while and then immediately spat it out.

The meat is not cooked at all and I can't bite it!

"Puh, phuh, phuh~" After spitting out the meat in her mouth, she took a big sip of water to clear the bloody taste in her mouth.

She murmured, "What went wrong?"
