Li Fan didn't mind staying a little longer, but the local ecology couldn't sustain it.
Almost all edible species nearby have become extinct, and the monsters' activity areas are rapidly expanding outwards.
The reason is that high-star monsters gather in large numbers, and there are no territorial disputes at all.
Only special circumstances such as the breeding season can produce similar effects.
Although it is an uncalibrated area, if abnormal conditions occur frequently over a long period of time, someone will definitely come to investigate.
So Li Fan decided to return to Yanhuo Village after tonight.
Under the moonlight, Li Fan climbed the vines to the top of the cliff.
Lei Ge, who looked up at the moon, noticed it and immediately moved his body sideways to make way for an area.
Li Fan came to the side and sat down.
The chirping of insects echoed, and the green jungle swayed slowly in the breeze.
In the distance, there is a line of mountains and cities, which seems to have no end.
In this quiet and peaceful environment, Li Fan's mood quickly became calm.
"The puncture wound on the waist has healed this time. I can't do anything about the wound left behind. The shape of the new carapace at the injured location is also a bit distorted. I hope you can get used to it. In addition, Brother Lei, you have been missing the cub.
What?"
Li Fan asked.
The long list of negative states of Brother Rei in the handheld device have been eliminated through continuous mutation and constant cultivation.
I just miss the cubs, which has become severe at this time.
And it also had a negative impact on Lei Ge's level improvement speed, appetite, mentality, etc.
Ouch
Lei Ge sighed and confirmed.
"Then why don't you go back?"
After hearing this, Brother Lei continued to sigh.
"There's nothing to be afraid of. You have so many brothers supporting you. Tell me where the habitat of the tribe is?"
Li Fan asked.
Ouch
"Ah? The leader of your tribe has a special mission, so you don't want to threaten them?"
Li Fan thought he was being expelled from the clan, and then Mo cheated on the middle-aged and poor script. It turned out that Lei Ge himself didn't really want to go back.
But the longing for the cubs can never be eliminated.
Especially after the mutant combat power increases, the stronger Lei Ge is, the more he naturally wants to protect the growth of his cubs.
"What is the special mission?"
Li Fan asked.
Food and breeding, apart from these two, Li Fan couldn't think of anything else that could be regarded as a mission for monsters.
Ouch! Ouch
"You don't know it either, but when the mission comes, you will clearly sense signs of increased induction recently."
The more Li Fan listened, the more confused he became, but he still expressed his support: "If you really feel it, remember to let me know. If you can help, I will definitely give my full assistance."
Ouch!
Brother Lei responded with a roar very happily.
The next day, before dawn, the Yanhuo started its return journey.
At the table in the cabin, Li Fan opened his notepad and studied the choice of the next monster to capture.
There are currently six monsters on hand that can be used to unlock the six-star illustrated book.
They are Puff, Zhanzhan, Naughty, Xixi, Lei Ge and Huihui.
As long as you catch another monster with five stars or above, you can receive the Golden Crown Ball and two new types of Poké Balls.
As for the identification of six-star monsters, Li Fan speculated that it was probably at the level of the Golden Lion Tyrannosaurus.
After dragon energy participated in the body's metabolism, Huihui's recovery speed from her injuries finally approached the normal level.
The crusade against Yiqun Ridge came to an end, and the price of the Hexingite veins also plummeted. What's more, as the chief hunter, you can enjoy a 50% discount on purchases at Longliyuan.
If Huihui is given enough energy, she can theoretically participate in the battle.
Li Fan thought about it and glanced at the sketches of six-star monsters such as the Golden Lion Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Forget it, let's just be steady first.
Li Fan quickly gave up the idea of capturing six-star monsters and focused on five-star monsters.
He feels that the team does not lack immediate combat power, but it lacks monsters with relatively strong potential.
Finally, his eyes were fixed on the resentful tiger dragon.
According to the information obtained by Li Fan, in terms of cultivating the potential of the resentful tiger dragon, there is no need to carry out targeted mutations, and it only needs to be eaten.
Most of the unexplored areas in the monster world are unexplored. Li Fan only needs to find a suitable area to use as a hunting ground for the resentful tiger dragon.
In the selection of individuals, priority will be given to young males with severely damaged helmet horns.
The reason is that the helmet horns on the head of the Tiger Dragon cannot be regenerated, and the horns are the key to attracting female Tiger Dragons to start a family.
This does not mean that the male resentful tiger dragon who started a family will stagnate in terms of combat prowess.
But compared to a single tiger who has no worries and only pursues improving his combat power throughout his life, his potential is ultimately inferior.
Li Fan made up his mind and began to write a capture plan.
Two days later, Yanhuo returned to Yanhuo Village.
In the airport, many hunters and residents have become proficient in using flying insects to fly between airships and air bridges.
Of course, there are also people who accidentally fall, but this is not a big deal in the world of monster hunting.
Flying insect cages containing flying insects are loaded into airship cargo holds in large quantities and transported to various places via airships.
Li Fan didn't pay much attention to it because he was anxious to go to the wild during his last visit. Now it seems that just how long has passed and flying insects have become so popular, and he was particularly surprised for a while.
It has brought such a big improvement to the economy and trade of Yanhuo Village. It seems that Puxian did not suffer in the first place.
Li Fan walked to the street, and as expected, a Xiang Chong specialty store had already been opened.
Li Fan looked at the various peripheral products on the stand and marveled at the R&D capabilities of Yanhuo Village.
At the beginning, he also wanted to conduct research on flying insect cultivation in a research institution, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
After entering the store to shop for a while, Li Fan walked out carrying a large bag of bottles and cans.
When I came to the sword pattern processing shop, a full set of armor and the dragon-slaying sword appeared in front of me with a new look.
After trying it on and finding that it was fine, Li Fan paid the fee and received the consumption voucher.
"Are you the chief hunter who participated in the battle on the top of the tower?"
Dao Wen couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
"Yes."
"You are so young and promising, no wonder you can cause such damage."
The suspicion in his heart was confirmed, and Dao Wen let out a sigh of admiration.
"Is this type of injury uncommon?"
Li Fan asked curiously.
"Not only is it uncommon, but take the Dragon-Slaying Helmet as an example. Even if you put it on the bottom of the magma pool in a lava cave, the surface will not be melted to a liquefied state by the heat."
Dao Wen informed.
Li Fan didn't think it was that strange, after all, Hui Hui's own carapace would soften.
The Dragon-Slaying Helmet is an armor created after the Dragon-Slaying material has been separated from the body, and its heat resistance is naturally incomparable.
"Then according to your experience, what can withstand such high temperature?"
Li Fan asked.
"If you want to resist, the armor made of Flame King Dragon material should be able to withstand it in theory, but no one has actually tested it. After setting up the heavy shield of the spear, it may be able to withstand it."
Dao Wen informed.
Li Fan suddenly realized that he had to wear armor after all.
For flexibility and weight, a certain amount of protection must be sacrificed in the design.
But unlike the heavy shield paired with a spear, it itself sacrifices mobility in exchange for absolute defense.
"Master Dao Wen, do you have a gun-shield combination with a heavy shield that has a streamlined shape and a sharp enough spear tip?"
Li Fan asked.
Unlike in the game, long guns can be purchased separately and used in any combination in Monster Hunter World.
Of course, out of profit considerations, weapon workshops are still more willing to sell complete sets of gun shields.
"There are actually many long guns that meet the requirements, but according to your hunting needs, in order to ensure the strength, I still recommend using the horned dragon gun. As for the shape of the heavy shield, it can actually be fine-tuned according to your needs, but it needs to be
First decide whether you want a half-body shield or a full-body shield."
Daowen thought for a moment and gave a professional answer.
"Is the difference between a half-body shield and a full-body shield the difference in emphasis between protective capabilities and mobility?"
Li Fan asked.
"That's right. Hunters who want to be more flexible will choose a half-body shield. If they pursue absolute defense and have a certain ability to protect teammates, they will choose a full-body shield."
Dao Wen confirmed that.
"I choose a full body shield."
"Then use the Iron Tower Heavy Shield. This is currently the most recognized full-body shield. The disadvantage is that even compared to other full-body shields, the Iron Tower Heavy Shield has the highest weight among them, but its protective capabilities are also first-rate."
Dao Wen gives an introduction.
Li Fan speculated that the iron tower heavy shield should be the kind of heavy shield that has a hard-packed protective capability regardless of its size.
"I have a ceratopsian horn. I don't know if the ceratopsian gun can be used. If not, just replace it. How much does it cost in total?"
"Is this decided?"
Dao Wen couldn't believe it. After a few casual introductions, an order fell from the sky.
"Yes, the surface of the iron tower's heavy shield must have streamlined sharp protrusions. I will give you a sketch of the specific style."
Li Fan confirmed.
"Chief Hunter, although I really want to do this business, I still advise you. There is a huge gap between hunting weapons due to different proficiency levels. If you really want to use a long gun, it is better to buy a training weapon first and experience it to confirm
After that, it’s not too late to build higher-end equipment.”
Knife pattern persuasion explanation.
As a processor, Dao Wen has seen too many hunters who, once their brains are turned on, spend all their belongings to make weapons that are not their main battle weapons.
The poorer ones may even be unable to recover.
"Don't worry, Master Daowen. I know the uses of spears and heavy shields very well."
"Well, the price calculation is not that fast. I will calculate it first and let you know later."
Seeing how determined Li Fan was, Dao Wen stopped trying to persuade him.
Returning to the Yanhuo cabin, Li Fan mounted the newly repaired armor on the human-shaped wooden stake hanger in the room.
Then I came to the table, opened the notepad, and wrote a line of small words.
Combined skill: Cute Star Flying Thorn.
At dusk, after receiving the quotation of 60,000 z from Dao Wen, Li Fan felt a little distressed, but he still signed the agreement readily.
Afterwards, Li Fan came to Yanhuo Village Guild Distribution.
"Ah! It's the hunter hunting Xueying! Hello! Welcome to the Yanhuo Village branch!"
When the waitress saw Li Fan, she waved vigorously with joy.
At the Longliyuan Headquarters Commendation Ceremony, Zuda awarded the team two special five-star hunter badges with dragon patterns on the outer ring.
This kind of badge will only be issued to hunters who have fought head-on with ancient dragons.
Li Fan took it out and put it on the counter. The waitress lightly covered her mouth, and after a moment of shock, she became serious.
"Do you want to check the five-star mission?"
"You don't need to look at it. Can you help me recommend it? Are there any hunting missions for the Resentful Tiger Dragon? It's best to be an individual with missing helmet horns."
Li Fan only wanted to capture the Resentful Tiger Dragon, but he didn't care much about other conditions.
"Well, there is one that has been entrenched in the Feishen Community area for many years. It will appear from time to time to attack land caravans and villagers, and even attack other groups of resentful tiger dragons. According to the investigators' confirmation, that individual characteristic is that its helmet horns are missing.
So it was called the Angry Horn, so the village chief Puxian teamed up with the processor workshop to issue a hunting contract."
Could it be the one I encountered at the abandoned shrine?
But at that time, I just ran away without paying attention to the condition of the horns of the helmet on my head.
"This is it."
"Wait a minute, there's something I need to tell you."
"Please tell me."
"The Horn of Resentment disappeared from the continuous observation of investigators about two months ago. There is no ecological imbalance in the abandoned shrine, which is very abnormal."
The waitress gives a reminder.
"Is there any general trend?"
"Not at all. Observers from various branches have not received any sighting reports of the Angry Horn."
"In other words, this is a hunting contract where the monster is unknown."
Li Fan asked.
"Yes, so even if there is a team that is interested, for this reason, the idea of accepting the contract has been temporarily shelved."
The waitress confirmed.
After the contract was issued, the monster disappeared.
This situation is indeed strange enough.
"Then I'll take it too."
Li Fan thought for a moment and confirmed.
"Are you sure?"
The waitress was surprised.
"I'm sure, the team has been relatively free recently, and they also have their own airship. If they have nothing to do, they can go flying around the abandoned shrine. Maybe they can find traces."
"Okay then, the contract fee is 9600z, the hunting time limit is 35 days, and the reward is 140000z."
The waitress mentioned the specific conditions.
After the signing was completed, the Yanhuo sailed under the moonlight.
On the deck, Li Fan released Ye Ye and Ku Ku.
"Yeye! Kuku!"
Gugu! Ouch! Ouch!
The two monsters responded positively.
"Now you will form a search team to find traces of the Resentful Tiger Dragon."
Li Fan issued the order.
Gugu! Ouch! Ouch!
"Kuku, don't always think about fighting. Your duty this time is reconnaissance."
Ouch
When he heard that he couldn't fight, Kuku immediately lowered his head.
"Forget it, it's useless even if I say it. Remember not to find an opponent who is too strong to fight, and don't forget that you have teammates. Let's go."
After Li Fan finished the deployment, Ye Ye and Kuku jumped out of the bulwark and disappeared into the forest in the night wind.
Li Fan didn't have much hope in finding the Angle of Resentment.
But just like I said at the front desk of the branch, I've been quite leisurely lately anyway.
Even if it is not found in the end, the loss will only be a small amount of contract money.
"Can't you adapt to suddenly relaxing? I always feel like something is waiting for me."
Li Fan looked at the starry sky and whispered softly.
