Monster Hunter Monster Girl Story

Chapter 79 Collection

At night, the sound of waves echoed along the coast.

The tent flap was pulled open by a bear's paw.

The raccoon urgently reported, "Li Ai! Poseidon has appeared over there!"

After putting down the village chief Mode's notes, Li Ai got up and ran out.

Led by Ailu, they quickly headed to the tribe's assembly point.

On the beach, each Ailu held a carrying device, gazing longingly at the sea.

The focus of attention was a shimmering silver light in the dark sea.

The light was not very large, about the size of a person, and the edges of its near-human-shaped fish tail were clearly visible.

Behind them followed a large expanse of bright lights, like the Milky Way in the night sky.

Upon closer inspection, one will discover that it is the moonlight reflected from the scales on the surface of the surfacing fish.

"What a beautiful scene."

The raccoon couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"yes."

Li Ai's gaze was fixed on the figure leading the school of fish.

As the school of fish approached, the Ailus mobilized en masse, disregarding the fact that the waves would wet their fur, and all rushed toward the front of their homemade pier.

Li Ai didn't think that the simple pier could support her and the raccoon, so she simply jumped into the sea.

"Sea dragons are generally docile, and this one has even adopted a feminine persona; we should be able to try communicating with it!"

With these thoughts in mind, Li Ai swam toward the silver light.

After getting close enough, he finally saw the true face of the silver-haired girl by the glow emanating from her body.

It has milky white skin and a pair of huge, horizontally curved horns on its head, but these horns are only thick half-lengths.

Below the neck are armor-like hairs swaying in the water, and the lower body is a smoothly sculpted forked fish tail.

"How dreamy this monster girl is! No wonder Pontos couldn't forget her after just one meeting. But the proportions of those horns on her head are a bit off, and not only are they broken, but the cuts are also too clean."

Li Ai's curiosity didn't stop there after seeing her true appearance.

This monster girl is clearly a young girl, which is inconsistent with the age of the legends that have been passed down in Moga Village.

After all, even if Gu Long had a long lifespan, it was impossible for her to remain a young girl for hundreds of years.

"Then this must be the other one... the one that was bewitched by Ai!"

Li Ai suddenly realized a possibility.

An adult sea dragon is too busy guarding against skeletal dragons preying on its young to be fooled by mimicry and become friends.

Young, juvenile sea dragons are much more likely to be fooled.

Before Li Ai could get close, the other party moved closer to the island's base.

When the giant sea dragon saw Li Ai, it hesitated for a moment before ignoring her presence and continuing to swim.

Confirming that the other party did not mind being observed and showed no signs of annoyance, Li Ai maintained a moderate distance while swimming and following.

However, even in her monster girl form, the seemingly graceful swaying of her forked tail still caused the surrounding water to surge violently.

Even while wearing a swimsuit, Li Ai could only avoid being affected by constantly dodging.

As the fish swam close to the island's base, some of the following fish rushed ashore, thus becoming a gift from the "sea god" in the eyes of the tribe.

The Great Sea Dragon paid no attention to this, and continued to explore the island base, as if searching for something.

A short while later, the other party stopped on a shiny metal surface.

At this moment, an exposed sparrow vein, under the silver light, shimmered with a bluish-green glow.

The giant dragon held the mineral vein against its head for a moment, then leaned back and delivered a headbutt.

Gurgle~~

A shockwave erupted.

This power was certainly far less than that of a fully grown sea dragon capable of triggering a tsunami, but Li Ai still retreated a distance to avoid it.

Looking at the cracks in the mineral vein, the Great Sea Dragon stretched out its webbed hands to measure the size, and after confirming its dimensions, it continued to swim around the island base.

Li Ai continued to follow.

As the sky brightened and the light shone through the water, the silver sheen on the sea dragon's body became less noticeable.

Looking somewhat tired, she began her return journey, swimming towards the deep sea.

Li Ai didn't even have a single water monster girl companion, so naturally she couldn't follow anymore and could only watch them leave.

When Li Ai came ashore, she had been diving in the middle of the night and her whole body was white and her skin was full of wrinkles.

However, the results were quite significant; at least the investigation clarified that the silver-haired girl was not the culprit behind the tsunami and earthquake.

However, Li Ai still couldn't understand his strange and unconventional behavior.

Why would a giant sea dragon bother searching for mineral veins, and why would it have to test its strength by headbutting them?

The neatly cut half of her giant horn on her head was particularly strange.

Li Ai felt that there were two directions to continue the investigation.

First, I need to obtain information from Ai; second, I need to find a sea dragon companion so I can explore the sea more safely.

A day later, the village chief had finished reviewing and organizing all of Bai Hailong's records.

In summary, this subspecies of White Sea Dragon is an extremely ferocious monster, and one that hunters are very experienced in dealing with.

They never hold back against their own kind or other monsters in the surrounding area.

"The village chief's worries are not without reason. If a monster with this kind of personality and experience survives being severely injured by the Sea Team, its next step will inevitably be to attack Moga Village in retaliation."

Although ordinary sea dragons are also very ferocious, they pose a great threat.

Even if you severely damage and repel them, they won't realize how to retaliate.

At most, they would encounter other squads in the wild and launch a fierce attack to vent their anger.

This one, however, has gained a thorough understanding of human weaknesses through years of combat.

"It's just a matter of fighting with force, but that's not only their strength, but if we fail, Wolfsburg will likely be retaliated against and captured, given their personality."

Although, if the silly boy and Cui Cui were willing, they could build wolf castles all over the wild.

But once the ecosystem on the isolated island has finally stabilized, relocation at this point would definitely be very troublesome.

"What should I do..."

While Li Ai was studying the plan inside the tent, Little Raccoon lifted the tent flap.

Unless there is particularly severe weather, if the other party is staying in a tent not far away, they usually have something to do when they come here.

But after giving Li Ai a strange look, he lowered the curtain and turned to leave.

Li Ai, out of curiosity, chased after them.

"What's wrong, little raccoon?"

There's something I'm not sure if I should say.

The raccoon rubbed its paws together, looking hesitant.

"It's because we came in last place, there's nothing I can do about it."

"No, I went to collect honey today, and when I got to the river... I discovered another Bubble Fox Dragon outside the Heavenly Eye."

"what?"

Li Ai found it unbelievable.

"She is trying to get closer to the Heavenly Eye."

"Could you tell me about the differences in appearance?"

"She's smaller, and her fins are rather dull in color... In short, she doesn't look as good as the Heavenly Eye."

The raccoon described it as best it could.

"That should be a female Bubble Fox Dragon..."

Because of its abnormal nature, Tianyan clearly would not mate with an ordinary Bubble Fox Dragon.

"I don't know if she can handle it, but I don't know if I should get involved."

The raccoon said, head bowed.

As monsters from the same stream, the raccoon had even mimicked approaching the other, so naturally it didn't want anything to happen to the Heavenly Eye.

"Let's go take a look."

Li Ai also had some concerns.

The man and the bear followed the river on the island all the way to the Sky Eye habitat.

Familiar bubbles drifted through the jungle, and a dull-colored bubble-like lemur waited outside one, completely不敢近近 (not daring to approach).

He kept twisting his neck, trying to see through the gaps in the bubbles the Heavenly Eye sitting by the river, washing the fox's tail.

"They haven't left yet. I didn't expect the Heavenly Eye to be so captivating."

The raccoon exclaimed.

"A monster girl form, and she even attracts other monsters of the opposite sex...?"

Li Ai was also somewhat surprised by this situation.

Upon hearing the sound, the Sky Eye immediately waved its fox tail to disperse the bubbles, clearing a path for the man and the bear.

"Li Ai, please help her take this away."

The first thing Tianyan did upon meeting was to make a request.

"No problem, but abnormal individuals shouldn't be that attractive."

Li Ai was also curious about the situation.

If all the bubble-fox dragons in the stream had shown great care for Tianyan, she probably wouldn't have become the irritable and easily angered Tianyan.

"I'm not sure either. Maybe it's because there aren't many fox dragons here on this isolated island."

"However, it will take a long time to establish communication and guide the evacuation, and judging from the other party's attitude, they may not agree."

Li Ai pointed out the difficulties.

"Is there any faster way?"

"Then let's fight them off. I'll join the battle as a hunter, and with your combat strength, you can easily help out and drive them away."

"She'll be really upset. Isn't there a gentler way?"

Having endured similar suffering, Tianyan does not want to do this.

"The gentlest way is to wait it out. Although we are near the riverbank, people's patience in courtship is limited."

"That won't work either, Ai is already on the island."

"What?!"

Li Ai was quite surprised.

But then I thought, it's almost November 390 now, almost three months since we parted ways at the stream.

Ai Haibara traveled with the ocean current at a fairly fast pace, so it's not surprising that she was well-prepared.

How did you know?

Neither of them had a cell phone, which puzzled Li Ai greatly.

Tianyan lifted its tail, which was submerged in the river, and after stroking it with its claws for a moment, showed its palm to Li Ai.

Under the sunlight, Li Ai could vaguely see a strange, dark blue hue.

"The river water has changed due to Ai's mucus, and I can feel it."

"We should try to persuade them to leave as soon as possible."

This female pufferfish was just looking for a mate and didn't harm the ecosystem or the team. It would be cruel if Ai had eaten her for no reason.

Li Ai turned to look outside the bubble, where the other person's expectant and longing gaze met her eyes.

Then he leaned close to the Heavenly Eye Fox's ear and whispered a few words.

"Will this work...?"

Tianyan asked uncertainly, seemingly having some doubts.

"Try it if you can accept it, I don't care."

"Then... let's do it."

The empty, lifeless eyes of the Heavenly Eye trembled a few times, and then suddenly raised its neck.

"Here I come."

Li Ai took a deep breath and put her arm around the other person's shoulder.

The man and the fox tilted their heads and sat down together by the river.

The raccoon understood the plan of both sides. In order to give the female bubble lemur a clearer view, it used its paws to flap the bubble away.

Tick-tock~

A dragon's tear fell into the river.

oooo~

The female pufferfish let out a sad howl, then turned and glided away rapidly.

Li Ai opened one eye and peeked to the side, only to breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that the female Bubble Fox Dragon had run away from the shock.

But when he turned his head and saw the raccoon, he suddenly froze in a daze.

"What's wrong, little raccoon? It's a bit cruel, but it's the best way to get rid of it right now..."

As Li Ai spoke curiously, the raccoon stretched out its paw, trembling as it looked towards the river.

Looking up, Li Ai saw a humanoid creature covered in black and white armor standing on the surface of the river.

Li Ai had seen this kind of carapace with columnar protrusions on Layton, a member of the hero squad in Kokot Village.

This is precisely the material used by the Armored Dragon, except that the humanoid creature in front of us is covered not only with Armored Dragon material, but also with Black Armored Dragon material.

The chaotic combination of black and white looks particularly eerie.

"Tianyan and Li Ai, you two got along quite well while I was away."

Ai suddenly spoke, her slightly childish voice clearly originating from her original self.

The Heavenly Eye suddenly sensed something was wrong and, as if startled awake, raised its head.

"Is this Ai...? I'm sorry, it was Li Ai who asked me to help."

Tianyan sighed helplessly.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but the unprecedented sense of security she felt from Li Ai's shoulder made her completely forget to listen to her surroundings.

"Oh~"

Xiao Ai gave a sarcastic "oh".

Speechless, Li Ai could only recount the whole story.

"They ran in that direction, didn't they?"

Tentacles, also covered in armored dragon shells, poked around a few times along the riverbank.

"No!"

Tianyan, not wanting his kind to be harmed any longer, stood up and shouted loudly.

"If you're so excited, then it seems it's true."

Ai, hands on her hips, seemed quite satisfied with the Heavenly Eye's reaction.

"Your dragon armor set is pretty good."

To change the subject, Li Ai quickly offered a compliment.

"Good eye! I spent a month gathering these in my most hated volcano... Is this heat-resistant enough?"

"It's hard to say. After all, it's a monster of the same level as you, so the stronger the better."

Li Ai didn't want to give any guarantees.

Otherwise, if Ai were to survive by sheer luck, then it would be my turn to suffer.

"There's more inside."

As Ai spoke, she pried off a fragment of black armor from her arm.

The neatly arranged, small, reddish-brown scales inside were then revealed.

"These are the scales of the Flame Dragon. Because they are relatively thin and soft, they adhere to the surface of the skin."

"Wow, impressive, no face protection?"

Li Ai looked at her face, the only part of her body that was exposed, and asked curiously.

"Of course there are, but those are only used in the skeletal dragon form."

"Wait, if you transform and join the battle, won't this armor be gone?"

Li Ai suddenly realized there was a problem.

The shell and scales are indeed bonded tightly enough.

However, this is not the body structure of the skeleton dragon, and it will be torn and damaged once it transforms.

"The other set is still underwater, we can switch during combat. My side is almost ready, what about yours?"

"Everything is going smoothly on my end too. That Calamity Sea should appear soon. Also, do you know a large sea dragon that lives nearby?"

"Great Sea Dragon...you mean Little White?"

The right dragon head dipped down, seemingly trying to cover Xiao Ai's mouth, but it was too late.
