Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 653 The Palico is so cute
Being the most conspicuous bag in the group wasn't entirely without its advantages; at least a lot of information came out on its own without Cheng Tian having to ask.

The airship currently belongs to the combat crew of the fifth survey team. Its members are half NPCs and half players. It departed later than the first transport fleet. Moreover, in order to ensure the speed of movement, the airship's regular living supplies have been compressed to the limit, in order to catch up with the ships ahead as quickly as possible.

On the transport ship ahead was Azure Star, who was equally famous in the hunter community.

Cheng Tian was actually quite curious about this. Who exactly was the Azure Star in this world? Would they share the same save file as the template he had loaded?

After downing another glass of beer with almost no alcohol content, Cheng Tian's gaze kept sweeping towards the lower areas.

Not only Cheng Tian, ​​but almost all the players did the same thing to some extent, and the reason was those cute little creatures that were running back and forth in the passage, making meowing noises—

Palico.

There are many alien races in the Chosen Space, especially in certain places that specialize in related businesses. The variety of types is enough for visitors to compile a "Culture Handbook of the Chosen Space".

Players have also acquired many alien servants through taming in different dungeons.

However, in terms of cuteness, there are indeed few that can compare with the Palico, the unique orc race in the Monster Hunter world.

They are generally larger than regular domestic cats, but there are almost no outstanding variations in their appearance. At most, they have changed from walking on all fours to standing on two legs. Their brain capacity has increased significantly, enabling them to understand human language and even gain intelligence and status similar to humans. They have also chosen to position themselves as a companion species to humans.

Palicoes are capable of performing a variety of tasks, including but not limited to cooking, fighting, gathering, healing, and using the Palico cart. They can even take on some beginner tutorial tasks. It can be said that the hardworking Palicoes have shouldered a considerable portion of the social responsibilities of humans.

Aside from those who genuinely dislike felines, there aren't many people who can resist Palicoes.

Cheng Tian had never kept any pets, especially not since he inherited his master's skills.

It's not that he doesn't want to raise them at all, it's just that he has high professional ethics and he can't allow any hair or dust to appear in the sugar paintings he's going to give to customers.

Moreover, since the further development of the internet, Cheng Tian has also come to a conclusion—

Pets are always better when they belong to someone else!

As Cheng Tian was being forced to drink by an NPC hunter, he stopped and placed his hand on the chin of a passing Palico.

He began to scratch with extremely skillful technique!
While still on its way to get food, the Palico, which clearly had calico blood, suddenly froze in place, narrowed its eyes, and emitted a faint engine roar from deep in its throat.

Even though they have become a highly intelligent orc race, even more capable than many hunters, the Palico's hands have basically remained in the form of cat claws. In contrast, the human's incredibly flexible ten fingers are like magical tentacles to animals, always making them unable to resist.

Cheng Tian's actions seemed to reassure many people, and Eileen and the others, who were originally just itching to act, decisively took action.

Soon, the Palico transport system inside the spaceship was briefly paralyzed.

But at that moment, Cheng Tian suddenly stopped and looked towards the corner of the ceiling before anyone else could.

After Cheng Tian's gaze shifted, the tin loudspeaker there finally sounded.

"Attention all members! Ancient dragon sighting! And it's extremely close to our transport fleet, the risk of capsizing is extremely high!" Before the tin megaphone could finish speaking, Cheng Tian had already nimbly leaped up, jumping over everyone's heads, and directly onto the deck of the airship, looking down against the strong wind.

On the turbulent sea, four transport ships from the Hunter's Guild's fifth generation were present. Beneath the once-dark surface, a colossal, crimson-hued creature, resembling a self-moving active volcano, burst forth from the depths—

Ancient Dragon Lava Mountain Dragon!

The transport ship, which was originally quite large, suddenly looked like a miniature model toy compared to the Lava Dragon that burst out of the sea.

Moreover, another ship was extremely unlucky, getting stuck on the hot and jagged rock protrusions on the back of the Lava Dragon. It was eventually lifted dozens of meters above the water. Cheng Tian's scan had already captured this ship, which had become a 90-degree vertical shape. A large amount of supplies and people could be seen falling uncontrollably inside and outside the ship's cabin.

Some smeared onto the sea surface, while others landed on the back of the Lava Dragon.

However, Cheng Tian didn't even flinch when he saw this.

In other worlds, this would be a devastating blow to humanity, but here it's nothing.

Whether you're a hunter or a Palico, everyone has iron knees and is incredibly durable.

You can be killed in any way you want, whether it's a claw attack, a dragon's tail sweep, fire, lightning, or a Kamehameha, but you will never be killed by falling!
No matter how high it goes, it won't!
It can be considered the underlying logic code of the Monster Hunter world.

As a popular source of equipment and pets, Monster Hunter information is widely circulated online, and anyone who has purchased the information should have some knowledge of it.

Regarding the tragic state of the transport ship, Cheng Tian could only say it was an undeserved disaster.

This ancient dragon, which resembled an active volcano, was not angry. It had simply emerged from the sea because it was approaching the landing zone of the new continent. That was all. To it, the transport ship was just a leaf that had accidentally stuck to its back.

But Cheng Tian's eyes lit up, and he suddenly got excited.

"I'm going to check something, I'll be right back!"

After uttering such a sentence to his own people, Cheng actually performed a leap of faith, flipping directly over the railing of the airship deck!

However, under the watchful eyes of a group of people who followed closely behind, some filled with fear and others with curiosity, a silver surfboard appeared beneath their feet, and they plunged straight into the sea not far from the Lava Dragon.

The silver surfboard entered the water smoothly without even creating a ripple, clearly indicating that the phase shift mode was activated.

Cheng Tian rushed into the sea but did not feel cold, because the surrounding seawater had been heated to about thirty-four or thirty-five degrees by the body temperature of the Lava Dragon.

Upon entering the sea, Cheng Tian immediately focused his attention on the feet of the Lavasioth—

Then they saw that its lower body was erupting with violent white bubbles, like an underwater volcano, which helped propel the Lava Dragon to the surface.
