Chapter 150 The Reward from the Lava Dragon!

The Lava Dragon disappeared after it entered the New World from the seabed.

This is very unusual, because it is difficult for a behemoth that is over 300 meters tall to move without leaving any trace.

According to the investigation team's speculation, it is highly likely that the Lava Dragon is using the underground ley lines to move around.

The search for the Lavasioth's trail is likely a hidden quest, and it's even possible that a certain team is specifically targeting this quest.

However, once a large-scale punitive expedition begins, it becomes something that a small team cannot handle.

"Ugh——"

The camp horn hummed low, and Alvin's expression suddenly changed.

This is the call to assemble at the outpost!

"Quickly, assemble!"

Alvin waved to Li Xia, signaling him to follow him.

They ran towards the empty area of ​​the stronghold.

"When this bugle sounds, it means that everyone in the camp must assemble in front of the headquarters."

Second only to the clarion call to recall all hunters out hunting, something big must have happened!

This is why Li Xia had to wait a while.

You'll miss the quest to defeat the Zorah Magdaros if you're not at the camp.

Most importantly, the main drops from the Lava Dragon are various rare minerals, which are also what Li Xia needs.

Soon, the open space in front of the stronghold was densely packed with hunters, who asked each other in hushed tones what had happened.

It wasn't until the commander-in-chief of the New World Survey Team came out and loudly announced that they had determined the route of the Lava Dragon's advance.

As the Commander-in-Chief spoke, the prompts from the Hall of Light kept updating in front of Li Xia.

Large-scale raid: Zorah Magdaros

[Mission Objective: Defeat or drive away the Zorah Magdaros]

[Mission Deadline: Before the Lavasioth breaks through the third line of defense]

[Penalty for mission failure: None]

[Task Rewards: Rewards are given based on ranking of damage dealt.]

[Rankings of damage dealt to the Lavasioth are now available]

1. (Empty) [Reward: Zorah Magdaros Gem, Zorah Magdaros Material Box *3]

2. (Empty) [Reward: Zorah Magdaros Material Box *3]

3. (Empty) [Reward: Zorah Magdaros Material Box *2]

4. (Empty) [Reward: Zorah Magdaros Material Box *1]

5. (Empty) [Reward: High-grade materials from the Zorah Magdaros (random)]

6-10. (Empty) [Reward: 3x Lavasioth's Rock Shell]

10-20. (Empty) [Reward: Lavasioth's Rock Shell]

The reward is alright, not very valuable, but the main thing is that this mission isn't dangerous.

They are all materials, especially the Zorah Magdaros Gem, which can be exchanged for a unique Monster Hunter necklace reward—the Charm.

Jewelry and equipment are generally rare, so they have a certain premium. For example, the blue talisman that can be exchanged for the Lava Dragon's Gem is probably more expensive than the blue ultimate equipment of normal gear.

Just as Li Xia was about to close the task panel, he noticed a new notification from the Hall of Light.

[Notice: Battlefield information platform is now open]

Similar to the process of Smaug in the first-order world, a scene resembling a group chat suddenly appeared in front of me.

It can only be said that he is a second-tier apostle after all, and he did not spam the screen like a first-tier newbie.

Caiman: "I remember you couldn't kill the Lavasioth, right? You couldn't kill it in the original game either."

Illusion (Temple of Truth): "Can't kill it. It's over 300 meters tall, how can you kill it? You can't even touch its core." Maze: "Hey, you guys who bought the guide, can you tell me if this Lavasioth can be killed? It's not exactly crucial information."

Luarez: "What they said above is correct. You can't kill it. In the third phase, the eight-star Elder Dragon Nergigante will come out to cause trouble. That thing is very fierce."

Maze: "Then there's no problem. We can just slack off when we want. The top rewards are up for grabs, and we'll just take the scraps. It's a free mission anyway."

Just as I guessed, although the mission was called "Slaying the Elder Dragon," such a huge Elder Dragon was definitely not something a hunter could kill.

In the Monster Hunter storyline, hunters have actually killed almost no Elder Dragons.

Even just being able to injure or repel an ancient dragon is enough to be called a hero.

Why is the mute protagonist of Monster Hunter: World called 'Azure Star'?
Because in the eyes of other hunters, this thing is definitely a monster, even more ancient than an ancient dragon.

He even beat up all five major taboos.
Li Xia's hand clenched and unclenched, and he felt a subtle excitement in his heart.

It was an expectation, a desire to stand before Gu Long, a desire to have a good, satisfying battle with Gu Long.

I let out a long sigh of relief; there was still half a day before we officially set off.

During this half-day, the Hunter's Guild's logistics team will go to 'One Line Sky' to set up defenses.

He called Aowu and Heitan over and explained the current situation:
"That's about it. Do you have any good ideas?"

Awoo flicked his long beard:
"More than three hundred meters—if there were a law of heaven and earth, Your Highness would only need to grow larger, and everything would be fine."

The Law of Heaven and Earth was specifically designed for those colossal monsters; some monsters in the void are even larger than planets.

Li Xia looked at him speechlessly: "Don't talk about things you don't have yet. Once you reach the third tier, I'll find a way to help you transform into a flesh and blood body. I've already asked the Chamber of Commerce to inquire about it for me."

The laws of heaven and earth—do you think I don't want them? Wouldn't that mean a piece of our heritage is missing?

No, it's more than just missing a piece.
"Meow?"

Black Charcoal raised its cat paw, the alloy armor clanging loudly.

Li Xia, drawing upon a slight resonance on a spiritual level, tried hard to guess its meaning.

"Blackie, you mean you want to buy some explosives?"

"Meow meow!"

"Then we need to make some modifications?"

"Meow!"

Li Xia nodded: "Okay, go buy whatever you need with Aowu. Those PT points are just sitting there if you don't need them."

PT points are the guild points calculated when the observers and Aowu return, representing the materials they collected along the way.

It's not very useful; it can be used to buy some small odds and ends, but Li Xia doesn't need it.

He doesn't even need nutritional supplements or other treatments; that's one of the good things about his strong recovery ability.

After watching Aowu and Heitan leave, Li Xia simply found a quiet place to wait.

I took out Ye Ji and placed it horizontally on my lap, then took out some care tools to give Ye Ji some treatment.

The maintenance of the spearhead is similar to that of the sword blade. He opened the small leather suitcase he had brought with him.

He took out a pure cotton towel, dampened it with a little water, and carefully wiped the blade of the spear.

After cleaning it, he took out a piece of deerskin and wiped it again. Finally, he used cotton gauze to apply a little sword oil evenly to the spearhead.

These were clearly tedious maintenance tasks, but Li Xia did them meticulously, even finding some enjoyment in them.

Once the oil was evenly distributed, he took out a cotton gauze and vigorously wiped it back and forth for about 2-3 quarters of an hour.

He stopped when he felt the blade was warm, observed it for a moment, poured some polishing powder from the leather bag, and continued to polish it slowly.

He only slowly opened his eyes and put away his spear when Aowu and Heitan returned.

[All outpost apostles, please prepare yourselves. The battle against the Lava Dragon is about to begin.]
