0002 Quirky abilities

Isn't it a skill?

Li Ming thought as he lightly poked the white mist ball twice with his fingers.

Soon, a cloud of mist floated up, changing into a font.

【Young dragon mallet】1 star

Skill introduction: The young dragon's head mallet attack, the head swings back to gather momentum, and launches a fierce impact forward.

Looking at the other two suspended fog balls in the same way, Li Ming saw the skill introduction of [Young Dragon Flicking] and [Carapace Herbivorous Dragon Back Armor Enhancement].

The effects are to rotate the body, swing the tail hammer to hit the enemy, and transfer more nutrients to the back armor, making it grow harder and increase the strength of its defense.

These two skills seemed to be more practical than the young dragon's head mallet, but Li Ming quickly sensed that something was wrong.

The skills in the fog ball are obviously for the carapace herbivorous dragon, and as a human, he doesn't have a tail hammer and back armor at all, so he can't be activated at all.

However, thinking that it would be given for nothing anyway, Li Ming picked up the [Young Dragon Tail Flicking] first, and prepared to take it back to study together.

At this time, the other two fog balls suddenly began to fade and shrink.

Let go of your hands and let the [Young Dragon Flick] float back on the ground, and the outlines of the other two fog balls are clear again.

Good guys, you have to choose one of three.

Li Ming struggled for a moment, and finally picked up the fog ball with the [Young Dragon's Head Mallet], after all, compared to the other two skills, he at least had a head that could allow the skill to be successfully activated.

Bang~Bang~

The other two fog balls exploded into ash smoke after they had faded to a certain extent.

There was no bag on his body, and just as he was pondering how to carry this fog ball, Li Ming looked down and caught a glimpse of a fog hole appearing in his chest.

The hands slowly moved back, and through comparison, it was found that the hollow in the chest was just the same size as the fog ball.

This is... Skill slots?

With the mentality of trying, Li Ming stuffed the fog ball into his chest.

Call~

A wisp of smoke drifts and forms a string of characters in front of your eyes.

Skill [Young Dragon's Mallet] is loaded.

As prompted, the smoke drifted away, and the fog ball disappeared along with the void.

Li Ming stroked his chest repeatedly, but did not notice anything abnormal.

"It's a strange ability, but I don't have time to delve into it right now..."

With a mutter, Li Ming began to work on the decomposition of the young dragon's corpse.

Monster corpses that have enough value in the monster hunting world will be transported to villages and towns for professional decomposition, and the complete materials can be used to build armor and weapons.

The Hunter Squad can also peel off some surface materials when they complete the hunt.

Monsters such as the Crustacean Herbivorous Dragon, which is of some value in addition to the dragon bones on its adult body, are generally used as a source of meat for hunters in the wild.

But for Li Ming now, the young dragon in front of him is full of treasures.

If the cats weren't on a rescue mission, he would have been eager to use a four-wheeled flatbed truck to transport the bodies back to the camp.

Puff~呲拉~...

Li Ming, who took off the bear pajamas, completed the decomposition of the young dragon with a slightly unfamiliar knife technique amid the sound of blood splashing and cutting.

He rinsed the blood stains on his body with a water bladder, picked up four meat chops tied and fixed with hemp rope, and was about to leave, when he looked back at the oval back armor with some reluctance.

If you take it back and polish it, you might be able to use it as a shield, but it's too heavy...

After thinking for a while, Li Ming was finally reluctant to give up this back armor, and lifted his hands back on his back, trying to bring it back to the camp.

He struggled to climb to the top of the dune, and the long sandy ramp in front of him made it difficult for him.

As long as you are not careful with your foot on this slope, you will definitely fall down with a rolling belt.

The gravity of the monster hunt world is very magical, even if you fall from a height, it will not cause any impact damage to the body.

But if you are hit by a heavy object, the damage you can do is terrifying.

He wasn't worried about the fall, but about the threat of a blow from the fall of the armor.

The surest way is to throw it away first.

Li Ming, who had figured out a way, unloaded his back armor on the sand.

Looking like an oval carapace of a small boat, a completely new idea popped up.

Soon, Li Ming squatted in the armor on his back, and grabbed the edges of both sides with both hands.

嚓~嚓~唰!

The back armor continued to accelerate on the ramp and slid down at a gallop.

"Hey, it's fun."

The feeling of the wind blowing made Li Ming feel particularly comfortable.

After that, you will continue to glide down the dune ramps until you return to camp.

Open the small wooden door and bend down to drag the back armor in.

Li Ming, who felt that he was going to be tired and collapsed, lay down on the ground and gasped.

Hunting monsters in the real world is more difficult than he expected.

Fortunately, he finally succeeded in hunting the carapace herbivorous young dragon, which not only alleviated the crisis in his diet, but also gave Li Ming great confidence, which was a pretty good start.

After resting for a while, he got up and chopped a piece of meat steak in half, and Li Ming took three and a half meat chops and went down to the dry well of the camp.

Next to the underground river, there is a one-meter-square piece of sea-blue ore, and the faint cold air spills out from the polished and smooth surface.

This ore is called Ice Crystal, which can be kept cold all year round, and has been used as a refrigerator by the Meilu Cat tribe.

After placing the steak on the surface of the ice crystal, Li Ming, who returned to the surface, began to try to grill the remaining half of the piece.

Barbecue is a relatively simple way to cook.

But every time the tribe is roasting, the Meilu cats take it very seriously.

Next to the barbecue grill, there are those who are specially responsible for playing the horn, and there are also those who beat the beat of cat's paws, dancing around the campfire...

The cats do their job, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.

Midodo's explanation for this is that it is not easy to grill meat according to such a rhythm.

Li Ming didn't believe it at all, although the flames of the Monster Hunt World were ridiculously fast when baking things, as long as they paid more attention, they could definitely still be controlled.

Thread the steak on the grill and light the campfire.

Li Ming looked at the meat chop seriously and slowly turned the shaker.

Zilala~

Golden grease seeps out from the surface of the steak, and the aroma wafts out.

"Well, that's good..."

呲~

Halfway through his words, suddenly, a wisp of black smoke came out.

Li Ming was about to lift the pole with the steak, but even with such a fast movement, most of the steak was still roasted.

"Could it be true that what Mi Duoduo said is true, the barbecue is here, and it must follow a certain rhythm..."

Although it was a grilled meat steak, the burnt smell still made Li Ming lick his lips constantly.

In the past month, let alone eating barbecue recklessly, he has never even eaten enough.

"Let's pay homage to the meow god first."

Under the meat chops that came to his mouth, Li Ming cut off the most charred black part and came to the altar of the meow god.

"Thank you for the blessing of God Meow, this hunt was very successful, be careful, I hope you don't dislike it."

After Li Ming, who folded his hands, finished speaking, he opened his eyes and found that the rewriting skill elf protection (small) prompt did not appear.

He speculated that either the meow god was still very concerned about stealing the tribute, or that the blessing could not be rewritten halfway through before it expired.

"Hmm~Woo~..."

With a vigorous chewing and swallowing sound, the steak was soon left with a stick-like bone.

"This amount of food, it's not right..."

Stroking his flat belly, Li Ming was amazed.

He has a clear sense of the increase in food intake.

It's just that because of the pitiful amount of food available every day, it is not clear to what extent.

Now half a large meat chop is down, and it is only five points full, which obviously exceeds his expectations.

No, if the food intake continues, the minimum food intake will also increase, and it may be difficult to maintain the status quo in case the hunt goes wrong in the future.

Moreover, Midodo also mentioned that it is common to encounter monsters with ultra-high threats operating in the surrounding area, and not being able to travel and hunt for days or even weeks.

Li Ming, who had a worrying future, had known that his appetite would increase to this point, and he felt that even if he was tired to death, he would have tried to carry those four dragon legs back.

It's a pity that there is no choice now, so I can only lie down on the corpse and minimize physical exertion first.

Boom~

After lying on the straw mat for a while, a muffled sound came from above.

Li Ming looked up for a moment and found a red mist in the shape of a cat's claw appearing in the air.

"There's something wrong with the rescue team..."

This time, all the members of the action tribe were dispatched, and the object to be summoned by the signal flare was obviously Li Ming.

In the Sand Plains region, many monsters have a crushing advantage in combat effectiveness for the Meilu cat group.

However, there are not many that will deliberately target and pose a great threat.

The reason for this is that the monsters in the monster hunting world all follow their own ecology to carry out their actions.

Food, breeding, territory...

As long as there is no deep intersection in these aspects, with the short size of the Meilu cat, which is easy to ignore, and the sense of risk avoidance cultivated by long-term survival in the wild, there will rarely be large monsters to target.

The kind of monsters that are small in size and have a certain overlap in ecology are the main source of threat to the Meilu cats.

For example, the Huang Sulong group, Li Ming's previous two emergency summons were because they attacked the traveling Meilu cat.

However, the purpose of the convening was not to let him drive away the Huang Sulong group by force, but to pretend to be hunters to intimidate.

Use your fear of hunters to make them retreat and help the cats get out of trouble.

The tribe doesn't have extra money, and hired hunter Li Ming can understand it, but during the rescue mission, say hello to the hunter team, and this kind of thing can be easily settled.

The explanation of the tribal leader Eyler is that there are rules to be done.

Once the contract of the Hunter Squad is uncovered, the security deposit is collected.

All emergencies encountered by the rescue team in the middle of the way must be dealt with quietly by themselves.

Even death threats do not affect the hunt.

Although the idea of lying down to reduce consumption was in vain, Li Ming still had some expectations when he thought that he might be able to take the opportunity to observe the hunting of the real hunter team.

Fill the well with water bladders and bring a meat steak for the cats to improve their diet.

After hesitating for a moment in the camp, Li Ming decided to set off with the back shell.

To his surprise, when lifting with his hands, the weight of the back shell felt much lighter than before.
