In the stalemate over the stew pot, white smoke quickly appeared from the claws of the scratching bird.
The hot pot body made it loosen its claws.
While the tickling bird was running away, it was looking for something suitable to use as a weapon, and wanted to continue to catch it.
Kuku and Li Fan didn't give them a chance at all.
People roared and birds chirped, and they chased each other step by step, very cruelly.
Eudora, who was watching from the sidelines, watched them chase in circles for several times, and gradually found the pattern of movement.
So he ran to the place he wanted to pass in advance, stood up and held the sword, waiting for the opportunity.
As soon as one of Tick Bird's legs passed by, Eudora stretched out the skeletal sword forward.
"Gu? Gu!!"
The bird tripped on its back foot and lost its balance. A dog ate shit and fell to the muddy ground.
"Brake! Brake! Back jump fireball! Back jump fire ball!"
Li Fan originally wanted to tell Kuku to stop, but he felt it was too late and could only change to another command.
Although Kuku's feet were stumbled by the fallen scratching bird, his wings had already been vigorously fanned in advance and the crisis was resolved before falling to the ground.
"Land! Land!"
Li Fan quickly gave instructions.
Kuku fell backward just now because he couldn't control the ultra-low hovering flying attitude.
Now Li Fan is on his back. If he falls again, he will be on his back.
"Giant beak peck!"
Li Fan shouted and jumped off his back.
Kuku's neck was raised high, and he walked forward two steps in an upright posture, and then the giant beak slammed down like a pendulum.
Bang! Expanse! Bang!
Every time the giant beak hits it, the bird's body trembles violently.
Li Fan and Eudora stood on one side, one on the left and one on the right. One drew his sword and struck in a straight posture, while the other swung the giant sword behind his back and started to accumulate power.
When Di Lu saw that no one was attacking from the front, she picked up the short stick at her waist, rushed forward bravely, and followed Li Fan's example before, aiming for the head and hitting him hard.
However, after a few hits, Dilu discovered that the two front paws of the scratching bird were digging deeply into the muddy soil, as if it was groping for something.
"The scratching bird is groping for the rocks, meow!"
"How dare you make small moves!"
Li Fan shouted, aiming at the base of Tick Bird's struggling thighs, he swung out the air blade slashing styles one and two in succession.
Two lacerated wounds and gushing blood immediately appeared.
Eudora charged up her strength and slashed down, and Tick Bird's arched back immediately sunk.
"Gu!!!"
After being beaten and beaten by a group of people, Tiaoniao roared loudly and then used all his strength to push himself up.
At this time, the small rock block held by the front paws is revealed.
He flicked his tail and swung rocks, and then he did a trick of spinning and jumping on the spot.
He forced all Li Fanyudola Kuku to retreat, and then began to escape with a limp, half jumping and half running state.
Li Fan rides beautifully and throws an intermediate elf ball when the distance is about the same.
The scratching bird turned into a white light and flew into it. The small rock in its hand rolled to the ground.
Tsk! Tsk!
The intermediate elf ball trembled slightly, appearing very stable.
Just when Li Fan thought he could capture it easily, the crucial third elf ball suddenly jumped into the air.
It landed along the slope and rolled down the cliff.
Li Fan rushed over to take a look. Countless colorful light particles filled the air, and the lame scratching bird was also escaping below.
So cunning, did you deliberately pretend to be captured the first two times?
Li Fan was a little depressed.
Eudora rushed over but didn't pay attention, saying that it was normal for monsters to try their best to escape when they felt a fatal threat or were about to die.
"Oops, meow! The direction in which the scratching bird is escaping has been designated as a dangerous area by the union!"
Dilu looked at the map and exclaimed.
"This is going to be difficult... Do you want to try to intercept it?"
Eudora was a little undecided.
Tickle Bird has been seriously injured and has the smell of dyed balls on his body. It is difficult to escape the pursuit of the team.
But the area the other party fled to was a temporarily designated high-risk area.
Of course, the union will not and has no ability to prevent hunters from getting involved.
But if you encounter danger there, even if you use a red flare to call for help, most of the nearby hunter teams will not rush to the rescue.
"You...why are you looking at me?"
Unknowingly, Levi found that Eudora, Dilu, and Kuku were all looking at him.
"Because you are Li Fanmiao who is resourceful and has hunted Honglong!"
Dilu raised her paws and shouted.
"Yes, I believe in your choice."
Eudora nodded in approval.
Li Fan looked at the light bulb on his waist.
I thought that the reason why the union temporarily designated a high-risk area was to prevent the hunter team from running into the Thunder Wolf Dragon.
He has the early warning ability of a light bulb, can't fly when he scratches a bird, and at the same time is seriously injured. At most, he can run to the edge of the dangerous area.
"Try to intercept before dark. The birds are probably also afraid of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, and they only dare to wander around the periphery."
After the deployment was given, the team launched a pursuit.
Although Eudora doesn't move very fast, with the scent of the dyed ball, she doesn't have to worry about falling behind and being thrown too far away.
Anyway, everyone's ultimate goal is to tickle birds.
After putting Kuku into the elf ball, Li Fan took the lead by riding Taimei.
It's still raining, and the smell of dyed balls is showing signs of weakening.
However, Li Fan was preparing for the hunter badge exam, and the increased difficulty of tracking could actually be applied to the training of olfactory sensing.
Li Fan felt that his sense of smell seemed to have become particularly sharp due to changes in diet.
If you smell it carefully, you will find that the smell of this jungle is really rich.
"vomit...."
The stench of feces penetrated his nostrils, and Li Fan suddenly retched.
Forget it, having such a good sense of smell is not entirely a good thing.
Li Fan adjusted his breathing and focused on the smell of the dyed balls.
After two hours of pursuit, Tickle Bird did not dare to go deep into the core area where the Thunder Wolf Dragon might be found, as he had judged, but relied on his familiarity with the terrain to keep going in circles in the jungle.
In the early years of Monster Hunter, monster zone switching has always been a pain point for Li Fan.
So I tried my best to use the clairvoyance skill, but I didn’t expect that in the world of monster hunting, I could use my sense of smell to track.
But the monsters also took it to the next level, using their familiarity with the terrain to hide in circles.
"Why don't you set a trap, meow?"
Dilu gave advice behind the scenes.
"No, we must evacuate before dark. Without bait, the trap will stay in place for too long."
Li Fan shook his head and said.
"It would be nice if I brought the stew pot, meow."
Dilu said with some regret.
"Why?"
"Because the scratching bird likes the stew pot very much, not only did it sneak into the camp and steal it, but it also got burned in the end and had to let go of its claws. If it can be used as bait..."
Li Fan thought of the characteristics of tickling birds and quickly thought of a way.
"The tickling bird is moving slower and slower. It should be caused by constant attacks with serious injuries. It must be very insecure at this time. If it sees an object that can be held with its front paws as a weapon, it probably has no resistance.
"
Squeak! It's so beautiful and it slides to an emergency stop.
"Uh... You can't find anything similar here, right? Meow."
Dilu said thoughtfully.
"On the hillside I passed just now, I remember there was an ore vein exposed on the surface?"
"That's right, meow!."
“Go try it!”
Taimei turned around and started running.
"I remember that the pylonite is green and the earth crystal is white. What is this gray one?"
Li Fan looked around the pointed pillar-shaped veins for a long time, but could not identify the type of minerals.
"I don't know either, but since there are no miners to collect it, the value shouldn't be high."
Dilu has made his judgment based on experience.
First of all, it is not far from Kara Village. Secondly, this vein is exposed on the surface. If it is a rare mineral, it should have been dug up long ago.
"Forget it, get the pickaxe."
After Li Fan finished speaking, he held the small mining pick used for Dilu mining in one hand and began to tap on the veins.
Dang! Dang! Dang!....
Since the strength of the ore is not very high, it is relatively easy to collect or hammer it into shape.
"Li Fan, your hunting ideas are different from all the hunters I've seen."
Dilu, who helped clean up the debris, said with emotion.
"Maybe it's due to different experiences."
Li Fan gave the answer while carefully tapping the shape.
Half an hour later, a jar-shaped object carved from an unknown crystal was dug out of the vein.
"Birds like pot-shaped utensils made by humans. I also designed grooves for the front paws to fit into."
Li Fan said.
"So awesome, meow!"
Di Lu's eyes glowed with gold.
"The disadvantage is that it is too light. As soon as the bird lifts its claws, it can be understood by its weight alone that although the can-shaped object looks good, its strength is not guaranteed at all. But it doesn't matter even if it is lost. As long as it can be attracted to the designated location, our plan
It was successful.”
After smelling the scent to determine the location, Li Fan quickly traveled through the surrounding jungle, searching for a while.
Finally, we selected a long and narrow area where the birds would pass by, with mountains and rocks on both sides.
After confirming the location, Dilu ran over quickly holding a mine-like object high.
"The paralysis trap cannot be buried too deep. At least one-third of the body must be exposed to the surface. When backfilling, it can only be covered with a little soil. Once it is covered too thick, the paralysis effect will be greatly weakened..."
Li Fan started digging holes while thinking about the questions about paralysis traps in the hunter exam.
Gently placing the disc-shaped paralysis trap into the pit, and looking at the handle knob above, Li Fan's stretched out hand suddenly paused.
"Turn it to the left to turn it on, or turn it to the right to turn it on..."
"Move to the left! Move to the right is an operation that is only used when recycling is turned on."
Dilu reminded.
"Thank you very much."
Li Fan said and turned the handle knob.
Puff! A dense ball of yellow electric light extended outward from the outer ring of the trap.
Snap! Snap!
He breathed out two balls of mud as a cover.
Li Fan gently put the jar-shaped crystal stone on top, and then trotted along with Di Lu, hiding in the bushes nearby, lying on the ground and watching.
"Hehe, this feeling of waiting for the monster to take the bait is really good."
Li Fan smelled the scent of the dye ball approaching, and became more and more excited.
"Me too, Meow."
Teng! Teng! Teng!....
"coming!"
One person and one cat were immediately silenced.
In the rain, the bird is moving its legs slowly and running in the muddy forest.
If he hadn't sensed that he was being chased, he would have found a place to rest to prevent his injuries from getting worse.
But the experience of dealing with hunters many times will always remind me, as long as the smell on my body is not eliminated.
Human hunters will never stop chasing.
"Gu...Gu..."
When he ran nearby, the scratching bird stopped on its own.
His head was lowered to the ground, and while his tongue was sticking out, he was still inhaling vigorously, looking like he was exhausted.
Li Fan was not in a hurry to take action.
He knew very well that as soon as he showed up and made the bird feel threatened, the opponent would definitely attack again.
The breath only lasted for about twenty seconds. He raised his head and started running again despite his injuries.
"Well, very good... Well! Brother, can't you see such a big pot-shaped crystal!"
Li Fan also didn't expect that perhaps due to excessive exhaustion, Tickling Bird's ability to perceive surrounding things would be so weak.
Li Fan picked up a pebble, threw it vigorously, and then quickly got down.
The bird whose tail was attacked turned its head alertly, and after looking around, it finally settled on the jar-shaped crystal!
The scratching bird lowered his head and glanced at the black three-toed claws, measured them in the air, and found that the rounded shape of the pot-shaped crystal fit the claws so well.
He walked over blankly, his eyes full of fascination.
In the bushes, Li Fan and Di Lu stared at the birds with their eyes wide open.
clatter!
The scratching bird reached forward with its front paws and hugged the jar-shaped crystal.
Snap!
The paralysis trap, triggered by monitoring the surrounding soil pressure, sprayed out countless long snake-shaped yellow arcs.
Tickling the bird is like getting an electric shock. The neck is raised high and the body becomes stiff and paralyzed.
The elf ball containing Kuku was thrown, and Li Fan himself raised his sword and went into battle.
After a small violent beating, Li Fan rolled his eyes when he saw the bird being scratched, and then stopped the attack.
"Now you know how it feels to be beaten by your client, and I won't make it difficult for you. We have been dealing with each other for most of the day, and my patience is running out. If you waste another intermediate elf ball, we will be in trouble.
The fate between us ends here."
After Li Fan's friendly communication, he realized something, kicked his legs, and simply stopped making any resistance.
The intermediate elf ball did not move at all, and the capture was completed immediately.
Li Fan didn't even bother to check the attributes of the bird. He put Kuku into the ball, rode Taimei and started running wildly.
I saw a white flare indicating retreat exploding in mid-air.
Eudora, who was still pursuing, immediately chose to evacuate.
An hour later, the meeting point outside the danger zone.
Seeing that Li Fandilu was not injured, the bird was also caught.
The team's adventure was not in vain this time, and Eudora also breathed a sigh of relief.
The sky cleared, and the sunset dyed the clouds red, revealing a lavender light.
After the rain, a fresh breath filled the forest.
A rainbow floated in the sky, and Li Fan and Eudora, who rushed to the camp, stopped to watch.
"What a nice view."
Li Fan said in admiration.
"Yeah...Where's Dilu?"
Eudora looked around.
"I just said that I found a very interesting unknown substance, so I went to collect samples."
Li Fan informed.
"Then wait a moment."
The task has been completed, and Eudora feels there is nothing to rush.
Two minutes later, Dilu ran out of the bushes with cheerful steps.
"Wow! What a big rainbow, meow!"
Dilu looked at the sky in surprise.
"Yeah, what did you collect this time?"
Li Fan asked curiously.
"I would like to name it, the very magical bubble slime cat!"
Di Lu said, holding up a glass bottle, biting off the cork, and poured the transparent solution inside onto the ground.
"Is this different from water?"
Eudora didn't notice the special features of this transparent substance.
"Look at my meow."
As Di Lu spoke, the cat's claws rubbed vigorously, and crystal bubbles floated out of the mucus.
"Isn't this just like soap bubbles... Dilu! Where did you find this mucus?"
Li Fan, who was absent-minded, suddenly asked very seriously.
"There are many cats in the woods behind, but the ground covered with mucus is very slippery, so be careful not to fall when collecting."
Dilu raised the cat's paw and pointed out a direction.
Li Fan turned around and saw a huge head that looked like a white fox poking out from the bushes.
