In the early morning, the sky over the stream with its unpredictable climate was once again covered with clouds.

The team that arrived at the predetermined area, after surveying the surrounding terrain, set up camp on a mountainside platform.

The two alternated rests until the afternoon, and the combat deployment officially began.

Chu Ying proposed to go their separate ways, she and Bubu went to hunt the pill bird, and Li Ming and Mi Duoduo went to get the hive.

Li Ming gave different opinions and wanted to act together.

The reason is that once they encounter danger after separation, they cannot take care of each other.

Secondly, even if Chu Ying and Bubu can each bring back a pill bird, it may not be able to meet all the food needs of this hunt.

It's better to go out all of them and bring back enough reserve meat at once.

In fact, there is another reason that I didn't say, that is, Li Ming wanted to take the opportunity to see Marutori's skills.

Through this time, my understanding of explosive skills deepens.

Li Ming has confirmed that the skill balls that the monster bursts out are closely related to the monster's own ability.

Just like the earth sand dragon will not burst out of venom gland secretion, and the yellow speed dragon king will not burst out of silt armor.

In terms of skill effects, many of them don't look like they're meant for humans.

Li Ming felt that what he could do at the moment was to hunt more monsters and try to collect skills that suited him or had strong matching potential.

Chu Ying and Bubu approved Li Ming's proposal, so the two of them set out on the road together.

Marutori likes to congregate in areas with shallow streams.

With this information as a guideline, the team began a search.

After looking for about an hour, Mi Duoduo, who was pushing away the grass with his cat's paws, looked stunned and immediately called out to the team to move closer to him.

呲呲~

The grass shook slightly, and two people and a cat got in.

"Three, they don't seem to notice us."

Li Ming observed for a moment and informed.

"Marutori will be frightened, and his body will stiffen for a short time, and if the team attacks at the same time, he may be able to catch them all."

Chu Ying proposed.

"The two cats are in charge of the one who bows their heads and drinks water by the stream, and I am responsible for watching the flying insects in a daze, and the one that pouts the ass to the sky and leaves it to you, if the hunt fails and the Marutori escapes, everyone must not pursue."

After Li Ming finished speaking, after the team made simple preparations, they lightly walked out of the grass and approached the Marutorio they were responsible for.

After reaching the appropriate distance, the two cats shouted loudly together.

"Wow!"

The sudden shout made the three pills shake their bodies and freeze directly in place.

Li Ming took the opportunity to leap forward, his body pressed against Marutori's back at the same time, his left hand stretched forward to lock his neck and fix it, and the hunter knife in his right hand stabbed fiercely.

Puff~Puff~

Marutori, who suffered a continuous stab in the neck, wanted to spin in place to throw Li Ming off.

However, he soon lost blood due to exhaustion and fell to the ground.

Li Ming took off the energy storage sword and quickly understood the pill bird.

Midodo and Bubu were particularly lively, with feathers flying and screaming endlessly.

Li Ming was just about to help, when he heard Chu Ying's eager reminder.

"Get out of the way!"

One person and two cats, immediately skillfully fluttered and lay down.

Marutori saw the two cats lying on the ground, tilted their heads and watched, as if they couldn't quite understand.

Boom! Boom!

Two ballista bombardments rang out, and the projectiles hit the head one after another, and the neck hung down, and he fell to the ground.

"You go first, I'll catch up soon after I finish the transcendent ritual of loving-kindness."

Li Ming finished speaking.

Midodo and Bubu raised their heads and paws to take one of the pills away.

After Chu Ying reminded Li Ming to be more careful, she lifted one and walked away quickly.

Li Ming didn't want to stay longer, and immediately began to sift through the nine fog balls scattered on the ground.

The first skill he saw surprised him.

【Laying eggs】1 star

Skill introduction: Marutori eggs, one at a time, 1.5% of golden eggs are laid.

After being frightened, there is a chance that eggs will be forced.

If this can be realized, combined with [Herbivorous Digestion], it will definitely be a miracle skill of lying corpses... What was I thinking?

Li Ming hurriedly shook his head and cleared this thought from his mind.

[Long Distance] 1 star

Skill introduction: Marutori has good stamina, and even if he travels for a long time, he is not easy to get tired.

This is good, and you can save some effort when walking.

【Insulated beak】1 star

Skill introduction: Marutori uses a completely insulated beak to hunt thunder light insects.

I don't have a beak, my mouth should count...

If you can chew the thunder light worm raw, it doesn't seem to be of much use except for filling your hunger in an emergency and angering the thunder wolf dragon.

Li Ming looked at the other fog ball groups again, and there were no repeated explosions, only [Gorgeous Feathers] and [Frightened] two.

[Gorgeous feathers] are brightly colored feathers that enhance the attractiveness of female maruki.

Li Ming felt useless, so he ignored it.

The effect of [Fear] is to be frightened, and will escape from fear by short-circuiting the mind, so as to ensure that Marutori will not be scared to death.

This is a pure negative skill, and there is no need to choose at all.

After thinking for a while, Li Ming first picked out the [Long Distance Run] and the [Insulated Beak] from the nine fog balls.

The last group of fog balls really had no choice, so I took [Lay Eggs] with the mentality of experimentation.

Loaded into the [Long Distance Attack] and carrying the body of Marutori, Li Ming began to chase after the team at a rapid pace.

After a few minutes of adaptation, he felt that the speed of the attack was not slow, and the carrying capacity of his body was indeed a little stronger, and he was not as tired as before.

It's just that the knee bend a little more when running, so that it is not very stable.

Puff~Puff~Puff~...

Hearing the sound of stomping on the ground from behind, Bubu, who was carrying the claws of Marutori, looked back and saw the silhouette of the body running in a strange running posture, and immediately shouted, "A monster is catching up!" ”

"Monsters?"

Chu Ying looked back curiously.

"That's not a monster chasing, that's Li Ming... His leg seems to be hurt! ”

Chu Ying slowed down.

"Meow!"

Midodo paused, nervously looking back.

Whoosh~Whew~

"Come on, you guys."

Li Ming passed by them, bringing a gust of fresh air.

"Uh... Sorry, I read it wrong. ”

After Chu Ying finished speaking, she tried to bend her legs to replicate Li Ming's running style, but it turned out to be awkward no matter how she tried, so she had no choice but to give up.

Finding a place near a stream with a wide enough view and few monsters, the team plucked the three pills and bled them, and then hurried back to the camp.

After eating and drinking, the team strikes again, finding the location of the hive.

Boom~Boom~

Wow~Wow~

Two muffled thunders rolled, and a light rain fell in the gloomy sky.

Although there was no golden lightning flashing on the top of the Spirit Peak, in order to be a safe team, they still draped the inflatable clothes on their bodies.

During their quest, the team discovers a variety of astonishing visions.

First, the Cloud Tree, which has the strength to make weapons, was torn and broken, and embedded in the silt.

Then there is the moss-covered roof of the house, which is upside down on the ground.

It's hard to imagine what kind of forces this area has endured to get into its current state.

A short time later, a beehive hanging from the treetops was spotted by Bubu.

"You all stay away, let me first... What about people? ”

As soon as Li Ming turned around, all the members of the team suddenly disappeared.

"We're meowing here!"

In the bushes, the cat's paws, which had always been pure white, stretched out, waved twice, and immediately retracted.

"Okay, you guys try to hide a little better."

After Li Ming finished speaking, he unloaded the shield axe and stood beside the stone mill.

The goggles of the leather headband are pulled down to the eyes, and the body is posed in large letters, leaning forward.

Bang~

In the mud splash, Li Ming rolled back and forth, and soon turned into a mud figure.

Then he picked up his shield axe again and began to climb the tree.

Buzz~Buzz~...

Sensing the enemy's attack, the dense swarm attacked.

Li Ming raised his right arm and aimed slightly.

Bang Bang Bang~

With the swing of the arm, the paralyzing venom is sprayed in a loose form.

With a hissing and burning sound, a large number of bees immediately fell.

"I'm also toxic, I didn't expect it."

Li Ming, who was holding the tree with one hand, finished speaking with a smile and continued to explore.

At this time, the remaining bees regrouped, gathered into a swarm again, and went around the rear to attack.

However, even in the slippery mud, the bee needle stinger still cannot penetrate.

Li Ming had also expected this, after all, this was not a giant bee that disgusted countless hunters.

Just by looking at the body type, you can know that the stinger cannot go deep, of course, the premise is that there must be no gaps in the protection.

Squeak~squeak~... Smack!

After sawing off the branches with a hunter's knife, Li Ming carried the branches with the hive hanging in his hand and returned to the ground as smoothly as possible.

With a buzzing sound, Li Ming began to move towards the marked waterfall area.

"Don't sting, I'm just going to change your living quarters, the Blue Bear Beast knows no, that's your biggest enemy..."

In the middle of the chatter, Li Ming followed the continuous rumbling sound of falling water and came to an extremely shallow river bank.

Decaying leaves, along with tree branches, are flowing downstream with the rushing river.

Above, among the rocks, a waterfall is rolling and leaning.

It's too dangerous for me to cross the river with this armor, so be it.

Li Ming waved his hand towards the members who were escorting him to the rear, and shouted, "Come on a mine pickaxe!" ”

Whoosh~ Whoosh!

The ore pickaxe that was thrown fell on the pebbles.

Swapping the branches to his left hand, Li Ming picked up the pickaxe and began to chisel at a slightly downward angle.

After waiting deep enough, he inserted the branch diagonally.

As the drooping hive stopped shaking, the hum became quieter.

Li Ming leaned against the rock wall, leaning towards the curtain of waterfalls, while looking down at the surrounding soil.

After completing the investigation, he joins up with the team.

"Let's go and dig there, the soil here is relatively soft, pay more attention to the collapse."

Li Ming pointed to the bottom of the rocks near the waterfall.

"Go meow."

Midodo raised his shovel and was the first to rush out.

In the evening, the rain stops and the moon rises.

At this time, the laying of the rattan net was completed, and Li Ming moved the beehive to the top of the rock wall where the trap was located.

In this way, as long as the green bear beast comes to the hive to collect honey, it will fall into the trap, and the next step is to squat and guard.

The location chosen by the team is the top of the waterfall, which has a great field of view, but the downside is that it is a bit noisy.

"Then it's time for the hunting battle, I didn't expect it to go so well."

Chu Ying, who crawled on the rock, sighed.

"This should be the benefit of deploying enough, and if you go on a wide range of mobile hunts in streams, it's hard to say what you can encounter."

Li Ming felt that the hunt was so smooth, and the mature deployment had a lot to do.

"What if that blue bear doesn't show up, or if it's not the target?"

Bubu said with some concern.

"Then you can only consider yourself unlucky, and then you can either quickly pick yourself up and continue to carry out a new hunting deployment, or return as soon as possible and cancel the contract."

Chu Ying reluctantly informed.

"How is this happening?"

Li Ming asked.

"My teacher said that often failure is the norm of hunting."

Chu Ying informed.

"He's a strong hunter, isn't he?"

Li Ming speculated.

"It's very strong, and it's something I want to catch up with."

Chu Ying's eyes showed reverence.

"In that case, then why did you rush to the Sandstone Cave Branch for the hunter assessment?"

Li Ming asked puzzled.

"He said that this is the secret of the hunter exam, the smaller the guild branch, the more hunters will be in short supply, and the degree of exam standardization will also decrease, and even instructors who are proficient in heavy ballista may not be found."

Chu Ying explained.

"That's a familiar statement... It seems that your teacher should be about the same age as Wood's senpai. ”

Li Ming speculated.

"Hmm... It's about the same age. ”

"How many stars is he?"

"Ahem... Five-star hunter. ”

Chu Ying said in a solemn tone.

"Like Wood's predecessors, that should be strong."

"That sloppy uncle is also a five-star hunter?"

Chu Ying looked surprised.

"You don't know?"

Li Ming asked with some surprise.

"I remember he seemed to be wearing a two-star badge, and the reaction of others to him... The house where I lived was also... Simple... No wonder his partner can serve as a cat instructor. ”

Chu Ying recalled intermittently, and her thoughts seemed to be in confusion.

"The reason why I use the shield axe is because Wood's predecessor introduced me to it..."

Woo ~ woo ~ Li Ming was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly paused.

The team lowered their breath and listened carefully to the roar in the distance.

As the roar faded over the sound of the falling water, they locked their eyes on the top of the cliff in the distance.

A blurred blue silhouette is roaring at the full moon.

"That~just~ is~ Thunderwolf Dragon?"

Midodo, holding a telescope, asked in a trembling voice.

"Yes, but from a distance, it doesn't threaten us."

Li Ming informed.

"It seems that the strategy of squatting is indeed necessary."

After Chu Ying finished speaking, she shifted the iron assault crossbow aimed at the cliff in the distance.

"What is the thunderwolf dragon shouting?"

Bubu asked curiously.

"I don't know, looking at the direction is like roaring at the full moon, and it seems to be facing Lingfeng."

Li Ming said that he could not speculate.

No one gave a warning, but every member of the team consciously increased their vigilance from then on.

If there is any wind and grass around, it will be carefully and repeatedly confirmed, for fear that there will be omissions.

As the night wore on, the clouds were thick and the sky was rolling with thunder.

Rumble~

Thunder flickered, and a figure appeared by the river.

Whew~Whew~...

The sound of heavy breathing quickly attracted the attention of the team.

"Confirmed, it's a blue bear beast with a wound on its left arm."

Chu Ying, who was crawling, calmly informed.

"Good."

Li Ming, who was bent on his waist, slowly approached the rock wall above the trap.

Boom! Boom!

The blue bear beast, which was originally standing upright and had a lazy gait, suddenly noticed something, and suddenly landed on its two forepaws, crawling quickly across the river.

The heavy sound of stepping aroused the alarm inside the hive, and the bee colony immediately went out.
