"Hey meow!"

As he was running, he turned his head and threw a ball of light with his cat's paw.

The orb slammed into the sharp corners and shattered, and a bright light exploded.

Stimulated by the bright light, the ceratosaurus lost its direction, stopped and braked suddenly, and its huge body drove the double-edged axe-like tail hammer to turn sideways on the spot.

Li Ming didn't have the ability to answer Wood, all he could do was pass on the crisis situation to Waxiu and Lindsay, and then try to stay away.

The team of four began to evacuate in three waves.

After a while, the vision of the ceratosaurus gradually recovered, and a roar resounded through the sky.

It was full of anger, and Li Ming felt more fierce than when he first saw Wood.

Suddenly, the sandplain area suddenly became quiet.

Li Ming turned his head to look back and found that the horned dragon was gone, and only a large piece of sand and dust was flying in the air.

When it burrows beneath the sand, the Ceratosaurus will detect the movement of the surface with its ears, rather than locking directly onto its target, as in the game.

Thinking of this, Li Ming stopped suddenly, and with as gentle a movement as possible, he slowly fell on the sand and listened attentively.

Boom~Boom~...

There was a dull rumbling sound, as if a steam train was speeding underground.

Judging from the amplitude of the vibration and the sound, it was concluded that the ceratosaurus was not near him, so Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat up from the sand.

At this time, Lindsay and Varsus, who were running wildly near the mire, came into view.

On the trembling sand, clumps of sand and dust gushed up in a straight line and struck at the two of them.

"It's over..."

As soon as Li Ming's words fell, a gray sphere drew an arc in mid-air and landed above the sand ball.

Nibble!

The orb exploded, stirring up a circle of gray sound.

Boom!

The sand and dust burst open, sharp horns appeared, and a ceratosaurus with half of its body still buried in the sand appeared in the constant howl.

It was Wood who threw a sonic boom at it.

"Keep running!"

Hearing Wood's reminder, the two who looked back turned their heads and quickened their pace.

The ceratosaurus twisted its body and tried to break free from the sand, but to no avail, and swung its earthy yellow wings vigorously.

Whew~Whew~

The lower body that fell into it quickly broke away from the sand.

After successfully attracting attention, Wood and Ah Tang turned and fled to the quagmire shore.

"That place is... Dig up the laid traps! ”

Li Ming quickly sensed the other party's intentions.

The ceratops, which had been frustrated one after another, were still rampage and rushed forward, apparently unaware of the trap.

The sole of one foot stepped into the air, and the withered yellow leaves covering the vine grid flew up.

The ceratosaurus was short and fell again.

At this time, Wood and Ah Tang fled at full speed, and finally escaped safely.

"Whew~ It's dangerous."

Li Ming let out a sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and got up to join the team.

During the process, he noticed several sand fish with yellow dorsal fins showing in the sand, wandering and gliding around.

Seven or eight yellow speed dragons marching in groups were also vigilantly searching around.

Risking his risk to be nearby as well, apparently for the corpse of the earth sand dragon.

If there is no deterrence of the ceratosaurus, I am afraid that it will already be directly approaching.

It seems that guarding monster corpses is also part of the hunting process.

After the team converged, all members closely watched the movement of the ceratosaurus in the distance.

"Lao Wu, thanks to you and Ah Tang being able to come to support, you lost the sonic boom accurately, did you have special training?"

Crawling Lindsay praised.

"It's just more skilled, and you can practice more."

Wood responded.

"Shouldn't you ask about the Horned Dragon Shield Axe first..."

Waxiu said helplessly.

"Oh! Is that a shield axe made from horned dragon materials? It's amazing, it's expensive, right? ”

Lindsey exclaimed.

Wa Xiu's eyes sank, and he directly said the key: "Who asked you to ask if it is cheap or expensive, how can a two-star hunter be equipped with a horned dragon shield axe, this is the key to the problem." ”

"It's noticed, um..."

Wood rests his chin in his hand and rubs his palm against his stubble as he begins to think.

"I can't make up a reason, well, I'm actually a five-star hunter."

Wood said frankly, and the atmosphere fell silent.

"A while ago, the field investigator of the guild reported the suspected traces of the activities of the ceratosaurus to the branch, and we felt that it would be very risky for you to go hunting, so we joined in."

Tachibana explained.

"I see... So isn't it really expensive to build a horned dragon shield axe? ”

Lindsay thought for a moment, but couldn't help but ask the curiosity in her heart.

"That's right, all the savings I had saved were running out."

Wood sighed.

The obsidian who was watching was only put down the telescope and was borrowed by Li Ming.

Next to the corpse of the earth sand dragon, in addition to the large and small scattered mud blocks, there were three fog balls floating on the ground.

This was expected, but what he didn't expect was that one of the fog balls was green.

Green balls?

Could it be that a more powerful monster can burst out of balls of other colors?

Li Ming felt that he could only explain it like this.

Unfortunately, due to the distance, he can't see the skill description yet.

After deliberation, the team decided to take turns watching and waiting.

The purpose is the same as Li Ming's guess, which is to protect the corpse of the earth sand dragon.

With no food to follow and no mortal enemies, the ceratosaurus wandered for a while and lost interest in the current area.

The corners smashed into the sand, and the two wing claws dug quickly, and the huge body burrowed into the sand.

The team immediately went into action and rushed quickly.

Huang Sulongqun is still relatively acquainted, and when he saw the hunters traveling in groups, he used his roar to send a danger signal and avoid it.

The sand fish group was more stubborn, and after arriving first, they quickly slid around the corpse of the earth sand dragon, looking like they were bound to win.

Li Ming also participated in the battle to guard the corpse.

However, due to the opponent's speed in the sand, Li Ming's energy storage sword smashed downward several times, but failed to hit.

Lack of strength, lack of proficiency in weapons, it is too difficult to accurately hit high-speed targets.

After summarizing the problem, he protected the shield in front of him, and by observing the exposed yellow dorsal fin, he realized that the other party had been gliding in a circular path around the corpse of the earth sand dragon.

Finding the pattern of the route, an idea pops up.

Li Ming tucked the energy storage sword into the strap and lifted the shield from the movable buckle on his forearm.

Spotting the dorsal fin that was circling around, he jumped up with his shield raised and thrust his shield into the sand.

While! Poof!

The sandfish that hit its head on the shield jumped more than five meters high, and after falling into the sand, it was a flutter.

For this giant fish that was more than one person long, Li Ming first circled to the position of its head, and then took off the energy storage sword.

"You were pretty fast."

The round black eyes of the sand fish trembled violently.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! ....”

Li Ming raised the energy storage sword and smashed it violently.

Blood mixed with gravel continued to splatter, and the sandfish's struggle gradually weakened, and soon three white mist balls flew out.

呲~呲~...

A wisp of cyan smoke emanated from the core of the Energy Storage Sword, apparently due to the high temperature inside.

But Li Ming felt that the energy injected into these vibrations was not as much as expected.

He speculated that the lack of shock caused by the lack of strength was one aspect.

Secondly, the smash just now was not the kind of body that drives the arm and swings with all the strength in the standard action of the shield axe.

Both of these points will result in a decrease in the injected energy.

After analyzing the reason, Li Ming began to check the skills in the fog ball.

[Handsome] 1 star

Skill description: This male sand fish is fast enough to be favored by females in the group.

【Hearing under the sand】1 star

Skill introduction: You can accurately locate targets on the surface of the sand through hearing.

[Sand Sliding] 1 star

Skill introduction: The sandfish has smooth scales on its abdomen, and even if it jumps out of the sand, it can slide smoothly by swinging its body.

There is no doubt that [handsome] and [hearing in the sand] cannot be applied at all.

[Sand Sliding] If you pair it with a sand skateboard, it seems that it is still possible.

The current maximum number of fog balls, although there is only one.

But there is no limit to the storage of the fog ball, and in line with the principle of not taking it for nothing, Li Ming picked up the [Sand Surface Slide].

After the other two fog balls dissipated, the group of sand fish, which had been unable to attack for a long time, began to retreat.

For Li Mingneng to hunt a sand fish on the spot alone, the other three were a little surprised.

Boom!

A flare that glows with a bright blue spot explodes in the sky.

"The next thing is to wait for the field investigators to confirm the completion of the hunt."

Seeing Li Ming staring at the sky curiously, Wood gave an explanation.

"What if you confirm the hunting situation, and you still have the idea of monsters hitting corpses?"

Li Ming asked.

"The team hunting contract has been fulfilled at this point, and then what happens after that is what the guild needs to worry about, even if there is an accidental loss of the monster corpse in the transportation, the guild will also compensate according to the proportion of the share, and the material will be converted and compensated."

Wood informed.

Li Ming felt that the guild's approach was quite conscientious, after all, after the team had fought hard, how could they have the strength to stay in the field for a long time, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he asked tentatively: "What is the ratio of hunters and guild materials?"

"Depending on the level of danger in the area and the type of task, the proportion of materials is not fixed, but it is usually three-seven."

"If you can get seventy percent of the materials, it's not bad."

Li Ming glanced back at the corpse of the earth sand dragon, and felt that the monster that was more than ten meters long must be able to decompose a lot of materials.

"Uh... Seventy percent is the guild. ”

Wood said helplessly.

"Well, I think it's simple."

"Old Wood! Li Ming! Let's peel off the material! ”

Next to the corpse of the earth sand dragon, Lindsay, who was holding a hunter's knife, greeted warmly.

"Huh? Do I have a share too? ”

Li Ming was a little surprised.

"Of course, it is the basic etiquette among hunters to help each other when they meet in the wild and reward those who help them, and as long as you don't take too much at this time, it will not be counted in the share."

噌~噌~

After Wood finished speaking, he pulled out the knife at the same time as Big Orange, and walked towards the corpse of the earth sand dragon.

Li Ming walked up to him, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he decided to choose the skill ball first.

[Wormhole Positioning] and [Dissatisfied] two white fog balls.

One effect is the ability to sniff out the location of nearby insect nests.

One is that when encountering a strong enemy, it will not retreat easily.

The earth sand dragon is probably because of the [dissatisfied] hiccup, this skill was given to Li Ming in vain, and he doesn't want it now, let alone choose it deliberately.

[Wormhole Positioning] is good, but...

Li Ming turned his gaze to the only green fog ball found so far.

[Silt Armor] 2 stars

Skill introduction: The earth sand dragon smears the silt on the surface of the body, and after solidification and hardening, it can form high-strength armor.

This skill seems to be applicable to itself, and the defense of hardened silt is also considerable, that is... It feels dirty.

Li Ming hesitated slightly.

However, thinking of living in the wild in the monster hunting world this month, it was actually not much more decent than rolling in the mud, so I bent down and picked up the [Mud Armor].

"There has been, loving transcendent ritual meow!"

Tachibana said, stopping the knife in his hand to cut the carapace.

Everyone also stopped and stared solemnly.

"Huh?"

Li Ming didn't know why.

"Don't worry Li Ming, we will absolutely respect your faith and habits."

Wood said solemnly.

"Thank you..."

Li Ming didn't know what the transcendent ritual of love was, but since it was good to make the abnormal behavior less abrupt.

After a while, the Meilu cats arrived with flatbed carts.

Lindsey was rescued once by a cat cart while hunting.

When the field investigators arrived, the hunter team, and the Meilu cat tribe were all present, and it was an excellent time for the cats to confirm the contract.

"It's great you're okay, meow!"

Mi Duoduo burst into tears and hugged Li Ming's thigh.

"It's dangerous enough today, everyone's okay, right?"

"It's okay, only some of the carts twisted so hard that they meowed."

"Do you still want to be a hunting cat?"

Li Ming asked.

"Uh... Still want to meow! ”

Midodo hesitated for a moment, then replied with a firm expression.

"Aren't you afraid of even more dangerous situations in the future?"

"I'm scared, but I still want to create my own story!"

"Okay, then from today onwards, we will officially become partners."

Li Ming stretched out his fist downwards and collided with Mi Duoduo's soft cat's claws.

During this period of waiting, the cats did not remain idle, but kept pasting the mud around the corpse of the earth sand dragon on the cat cart, intending to transport it back to the tribe.

According to Mi Duoduo, this kind of silt, which has been rolled and rolled by soil and sand dragons for a long time, is a high-quality nutrient for growing crops.

When the other party was alive, they would definitely not be able to get close to collecting, but now it's different.

More than three hours later, a yellow figure appeared on the undulating curve of the dune.

The visitor was draped in a camouflage net of withered yellow leaves, and a sandfish dorsal fin stood up on its back, which could easily be overlooked if not carefully recognized.

Navigating high-risk areas alone is well aware of the dangers of those present.

Not only did the waiting crowd not be impatient, but they hoped that the other party would put safety first and not rush to come.

"I'm Sheng Ji, a field investigator in the sands, and you hunters have worked hard."

"Hello Shengji, the sighting of the Ceratosaurus has been confirmed, please be careful."

Wood said, handing over the hunting contract.

Sheng Ji read the contract, and after observing the circle around the earth sand dragon to record, he pulled out the hunter's knife and stabbed it into the hollow wound on his side.

Then he took out a circular seal, held it with both hands, and printed the red dragon paw print representing the guild on the hunting contract.

The whole process can be described as simple and efficient.

Due to the successful rescue of the Meru Cat Tribe, the leader Eller also witnessed the signing of his own cat paw prints.

"No matter how you look at it, the earth sand dragon is dead, why do you want to stab it?"

Li Ming had the impression that the poisonous bird would cheat to death.

"There may have been people who exploited loopholes in the process."

Washo speculated.
