Monster Hunter Monster Girl Story

Chapter 72 Colorful Bird

For three consecutive days, the team spent searching for suitable individual colorful birds.

With the help of the aerial view, Li Ai became more and more familiar with the terrain of the isolated island.

Unfortunately, no special individuals appeared. Instead, the Rainbow Bird learned the roars of Little Dumb and Greenie because the female Rathalos frequently appeared.

If you get close enough, you can still hear the difference.

However, it is very deceptive at longer distances.

Besides listening to the roars, Li Ai also had information about the monster girls and their whereabouts.

Take Cui Cui for example. Even if she is threatened, she will not yell for help, but will try to escape as soon as possible.

Therefore, it is very difficult to deceive him.

On the morning of the fourth day.

Li Ai felt that they couldn't continue searching without restraint, so she let the two dragons rest.

He took the intelligence he had recently gathered and began studying it under a tree in the Wolfsburg jungle.

"I'm not afraid of not finding the rainbow bird, but I've encountered two even rarer ones. One likes to imitate the call of the Elu, and the other gets so scared that it freezes in place when it encounters danger... It seems that Ai's process of finding abnormal monsters is indeed not that easy."

Li Ai was able to identify those abnormal individuals because she knew about the existence of the two monsters and had the support of guild intelligence, while Xiao Ai relied entirely on her intuition.

This made Li Ai realize that the other party's abilities were also extraordinary.

"After that, we can only expand the search area."

Soon, more circles appeared on the map.

At midday, the two dragons resumed their long-dormant battle training while searching for colorful birds.

Li Ai, who was sitting under the shade of the trees observing, discovered that the little fool had indeed made great progress.

The little fool is most susceptible to pressure, so he transforms into a dragon and takes to the sky, and the battle is about to turn into an aerial dragon battle.

As Li Ai's gaze moved upwards, she suddenly spotted the familiar figure of a colorful bird atop a distant hillside.

There's no other way; these days I've mainly been observing, recording, and studying the colorful birds.

Therefore, once an approximate outline appears in the field of vision, it will be instantly locked onto.

After observing for a while, Li Ai found nothing unusual about the other party's size or other aspects. She remarked, "The fact that the two dragons haven't launched a hunt has indeed made the colorful birds lower their guard."

The two dragons fought in the air, chasing each other as they approached the top of the hillside.

The colorful bird did not fly away, but instead looked up and observed carefully.

It wasn't until a fireball exploded on the ground, burning vegetation and emitting black smoke, that the opponent seemed to realize the danger and took off.

But it continued to circle and fly, constantly observing the battle between the two dragons.

"This one isn't very brave, but it still has a strong urge to watch others fight."

Li Ai felt this individual was worth observing, so she made a record of it and named this individual, who liked to observe combat training, "Referee".

After circling a dozen times, the other side finally flew away.

Before dawn the next day, the raccoon suddenly arrived at the Wolf Castle.

The raccoon informed us of a major development: Sky Eye was embroiled in a territorial dispute with a local sea dragon on the isolated island.

Li Ai rode the little idiot and rushed off.

Only when they saw Tianyan leisurely washing the fox's tail in the river on the bank did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine, the monster has been defeated."

"That's good."

Li Ai also realized that she was worrying too much.

The ecosystem of streams in the wild is far harsher than that of isolated islands.

As one of the two individuals who have survived to this day, Tianyan not only has to contend with the environment, but also with the Zinogre, which lives in packs.

An ordinary sea dragon cannot pose a threat to it.

"Has Ai not arrived yet?"

"This battle is extremely dangerous. She should be well-prepared and shouldn't arrive so quickly."

"Okay, please let me know if you need my help."

"Then let's eat today's spicy giant squid as well."

As a four-star buff, the improvement is quite significant.

However, being a female Rathalos, the little idiot doesn't eat.

At this point, through a bubbling transformation, it can be converted into an absorbable gain.

The next two days were spent expanding the search area.

Two abnormal individuals were discovered.

One of them is a colorful bird that likes to ignite the jungle by banging its wing bones together.

The other one was a female Rathalos that landed next to it and was still sleeping.

As dusk fell, Li Ai looked at the records and sighed helplessly.

"You guys are quite abnormal, but this kind of abnormality is useless."

Upon returning to Wolfsburg, Li Ai decided to rest for the next day.

He let the two dragons roam freely while he went to the seaside.

They investigated the sea god's movements, but unfortunately, neither the tribe nor the raccoon had found anything recently, so they took a few jars of honey and began their return journey.

As we approached Wolfsburg at midday, a taunting roar from Cui Cui echoed through the air.

"You're quite diligent, starting combat training already."

Li Ai then quickened her pace.

But when they actually entered the training ground, which was covered in scorched earth, they only saw the little fool standing there, looking completely bewildered.

"Is it over so quickly today?"

"Uh... I came here because I heard Cui Cui yelling. She was looking for me to train, but I didn't see her. That's strange."

The little fool said, somewhat bewildered.

"Yeah, didn't she say this morning that she was going to break up those two fire dragons? There's no reason she would invite you to train with her."

""

Thinking of this, Li Ai's gaze unconsciously shifted to the top of the hillside.

The colorful bird, codenamed "Referee," is craning its neck and looking this way.

"The sound clearly didn't come from the mountaintop, which means she actually risked entering Wolf's Castle to train for combat, and is now imitating howls... Silly girl, let's go!"

Just as the little fool took off, the colorful bird alertly took off in sync and quickly moved away.

"It's not that she wasn't afraid, but rather that her desire to see training and combat outweighed her fear. Isn't that a manifestation of an abnormal individual?"

Having gathered enough intelligence, Li Ai quickly devised a plan to subdue them, and so he went to the seaside again.

Noon the next day.

The Elru people from the seaside tribe arrived at Wolf Castle, pushing flatbed carts.

Colorful ribbons and banners were laid out around the training ground.

After each animal received a small bottle of honey, they were led to the audience seats.

Those who could play musical instruments joined the drum band and began to play.

Today, the colorful bird has reached the edge of the hillside, its entire body fully exposed.

Li Ai turned around and announced the rules of the training match.

In addition to using the A/B grouping system of the stream, they also specially invited Tianyan to be the champion, and the winner can choose to challenge him.

In the first match, Li Ai faced off against Little Raccoon.

To be honest, Li Ai didn't want to face the Yellow-Clad Green Bear Beast, but to make the competition more interesting, they had to form the groups this way.

"Come on, little raccoon, don't hold back!"

"Okay! Aww!"

As he raised his arms, an angry roar erupted.

A swarm of bees immediately appeared and surrounded the raccoon.

Although the two are clearly not in a symbiotic relationship, it seems that the bees have realized they are unable to damage the blue bear's hide and carapace, and their attacks have decreased significantly.

Thud! Thud! ...

The man and the bear began a brutal, hand-to-hand fight.

Li Ai not only had to endure the slaps of bear claws, but also the stings of a swarm of bees, and she was quickly defeated.

Sitting down to rest under a tree, Li Ai gave the raccoon a piece of recovery jelly. Looking up at the top of the hillside, she was surprised to find that the colorful bird was gone.

"No way, such a big event, with specially invited champions, and Little Fool and Cui Cui are about to appear, how can we resist watching?"

Li Ai then got up and looked around, and then saw a colorful bird looking around at a rock not far away.

"I knew it! It turned out that the view was too bad from there, so we changed our viewing spots."

The little fool and the dragon girl in their original forms fought for a while, then transformed into dragons and took to the sky to fight, their roars echoing through the heavens.

But the outcome remained unchanged: the silly little guy, covered in blue smoke, landed and collapsed in defeat.

As Ailu exclaimed in surprise, the band began to beat the waist drums and play the horn flutes.

Amidst the enthusiastic atmosphere, the colorful bird, which had been intently watching the battle, emerged from the rock, its expression one of utter fascination and disbelief.

In the winners' bracket competition, Little Raccoon originally wanted to participate, but Li Ai reminded her that if Cui Cui fired a fireball, the entire swarm of bees might be wiped out, so she immediately gave up the idea and withdrew.

In the final showdown, Cui Cui faced off against Tian Yan.

Neither side abstained, and both sides had a strong desire to participate in the war.

Not to mention Ailu and Cai Niao, even Li Ai, who organizes training battles, really wants to see this duel.

"Let's find a venue with a river, otherwise it won't be fun even if we win."

As Cui Cui spoke, she removed the heart-shaped bandage from the tail, which had been stained a deep purple by the venom.

The defect in the tail, which was constantly oozing venom, was thus exposed.

The Heavenly Eye's brows relaxed, its hollow pupils facing the ground, and it gently shook its head.

"No need. I've already collected enough water before I came; it's more than enough to deal with you."

Although Tianyan's tone was gentle and humble, the content of his words was equally sharp.

Li Ai, whose face had been mostly pierced by bee stings, got up and went between the two to act as referee.

"In this decisive final match, the red team is the Earth Queen Cui Cui from the Forest Hills! The blue team is the Enchanting Dancer Bubble Fox Dragon Eye from the Stream! I hereby declare... the final match officially begins!"

As soon as Li Ai's hand landed, she quickly ran back.

Ow!Ow!

After exchanging shouts, both of them instantly transformed into dragons and began their battle with all their might.

As the Tianyan rapidly rotates, a large number of bubbles disperse outwards in all directions.

The fireball exploded prematurely due to the blockage of the liquid bubble, but seeing that the path was now clear, Cui Cui strode forward and charged towards it.

As the Sky Eye slid backward, it created an explosive liquid bubble.

Cui Cui lowered her head and bravely endured the bursting of the bubbly liquid.

As a result, Tianyan slid to the side, causing the opponent's impact to miss completely.

"This is not good; the Heavenly Eye is too perceptive."

Although they had only exchanged two moves, the little fool had already noticed the difference in their agility.

"Indeed, but Cui Cui won't win easily with Tianyan."

The threat level of a regular Bubble Fox Dragon is already higher than that of a female Rathalos.

As for its capabilities, Tianyan already possesses the keen hearing and explosive liquid bubbles of two Tianyans.

Besides having extremely rich combat experience and receiving long-term, meticulous guidance from Li Ai, Cui Cui received no other additional enhancements.

The bubbling liquid had spread out completely, making the wet surface sparkle. Even without friction or rubbing, tiny bubbles rose to the surface.

The dreamlike setting, coupled with the elegant and beautiful appearance of the Bubble Fox Dragon.

The watching Ailus couldn't help but cheer for their opponents.

Cui Cui squinted her dragon eyes and looked to the side. The Ailus were immediately frightened into silence and all hid.

"Cui Cui, please focus on the competition and don't intimidate the audience!"

Li Ai's reminder pulled Cui Cui back into the battle.

At this moment, relying on the distance created by the pulling, Tianyan continued to rub the liquid bubble and consciously pushed it in this direction by swinging the tail coil.

Cui Cui stared at the numerous bubbles behind her, then turned to the side, her tail suddenly swung up, straightened, and then swung the whole box backward.

A large amount of thick venom splashed down, and the slippery liquid, which had been shimmering with iridescent colors in the sunlight, quickly turned into purple bubbles due to the seepage of the venom.

The Heavenly Eye, which was peering down to listen, immediately sensed something was wrong.

But the fireball's bombardment and elimination of the condensate bubble had already begun.

When Cui Cui approached again with her heavy claws, Tian Yan, who wanted to evade her, could only slide through the poisonous terrain.

The vacuoles that were formed at this point had turned a pale purple color.

Due to the poisoning, the activity of the Sky Eye has also decreased.

Bang!

The head hit the hind leg, and the third eye slid to the side.

However, at that moment, two huge bubbles also floated in from the left and right.

Boom! Boom!

The series of explosions sent large amounts of shell fragments flying outwards.

Cui Cui stumbled and almost fell.

At this crucial moment, Li Ai suddenly realized something.

"The colorful bird has disappeared again..."

'

While searching frantically, they finally spotted the other person near the bushes.

The opponent watched the battle intently, its claws stomping incessantly, as if it had lost consciousness, yet it continued to approach the battlefield.

"We can't get any closer to that colorful bird."

Even the little fool noticed something was wrong.

"Fly around it."

Bang!Bang!

It wasn't until the female Rathalos's claws touched the ground that the rainbow bird, marked as the "referee," finally realized what had happened.

However, after staring at the little fool with fear for only a few seconds, she chose to straighten her head and continue watching the game.

"Excuse me! This is not the viewing area. Please move back!"

Li Ai pushed the throat pouch away from Li Ai's double seat.

Although the bird seemed very reluctant, it did as it was told, its claws retreating backward.

At this moment on the battlefield, Cui Cui's wing bones and head were damaged to varying degrees.

Although it wasn't life-threatening, it was a very serious injury for combat training.

Apart from suffering an impact to one of its claws and being poisoned, Tianyan suffered no other serious injuries, and its advantage was already quite obvious.

Upon seeing this, the Ailus immediately cheered for Tianyan.

The drum band then played a high-pitched tune to celebrate the victory.

Upon seeing this, the colorful bird suddenly became very agitated, trembling and emitting rapid cries.

Soon its throat pouch swelled up, and the trumpet-shaped part of its beak began to throb, emitting rhythmic roars.

As the pale red ring-shaped sound waves spread out, Li Ai and Xiao Bendan, who were closest to them, quickly felt the increase in volume.

Then the sound waves turned from red to yellow, and Li Ai immediately felt her muscles swelling and hardening.

"That's not right. According to the information about Rainbow Bird, her boosting sound waves don't have any boosting effect on humans."

The sound waves reached Cui Cui's side, and Long Yan trembled, clearly sensing the amplification.

There's simply no time to look back and see who transmitted this increase.

However, even though it's the same sound, the Heavenly Eye perceives it in a completely different way.

Because the sound waves dissipated before reaching the bubble, the continuous roar of the colorful bird consumed a lot of her concentration.
