Monster Hunter Monster Girl Story

Chapter 80 The Strongest Taming Combination

"The 'Little White' you're talking about, is it a young sea dragon that has already undergone monster girl transformation?"

Li Ai asked tentatively.

Ai glanced at the drooping right tentacle, and seeing that the other party was no longer obstructing her, she admitted, "It's her. You've seen her before?"

"I saw it while I was at sea."

"Yeah, there are humans who are good at diving into the sea... You don't actually have any designs on Little White, do you?"

Ai glanced at the Heavenly Eye and became wary.

"How could that be? No, it's not true."

"That's true, you can't solve Xiaobai's problems at all."

Ai seemed to realize something, and immediately lowered her guard.

"Do you mean the horns on the top of her head?"

This was the only trouble Li Ai could think of that could be the case with the Great Sea Dragon.

"Your observation is quite meticulous. That's right, both of Xiaobai's horns are growing abnormally. If they are not removed in time, they will cover his eyes. Over time, this will cause serious psychological problems due to the stimulation."

Li Ai realized how serious the problem was.

Historically, the great sea dragons that attacked the continental shelf due to mental instability had an abnormal growth of one side of their horn, which obscured their eyes.

This little white one, however, already had similar issues with both horns when it was young.

But this still doesn't explain a key issue.

"So you were the one who cut her horn, but what's your relationship with her?"

The skeletal dragon's favorite food is the young sea dragon, which is also the main source of ancient dragon bones.

"There are few Elder Dragons with whom I can build a close relationship, and even fewer that I can trust and study. That's why I didn't eat Little White. But if I leave it completely unchecked, this area might see another madwoman emerge in the future. This is one of our hunting grounds, and I don't want... *burp*"

As Ai spoke, she let out a burp.

"I don't want to have to be on tenterhooks every time I come here for a meal."

"Indeed, there are two great sea dragons in this area."

Li Ai was convinced that her previous speculation was correct.

"That crazy woman is so strong, even you have to be wary of her?"

"Strength is secondary; the main problem is that it's insane. It will attack anything in the sea without any regard for the consequences. If I want to defeat it, I must transform into a monster. But in that state, I... Ugh, the right tentacle was just in time this time, covering Ai's mouth."

Even if the other party didn't say it, Li Ai could deduce it.

The extremely greedy skeleton dragon in its monstrous form is utterly unable to resist the temptation of the flesh and bones of an adult ancient dragon, and its behavior is probably no better than that of the crazed sea dragon.

If these two meet, even if one side wins, it will inevitably end in a Pyrrhic victory.

"What are you doing, Xiao You? Xiao Ai has monster cards, and he already knew about his performance in the Bone Dragon form."

Ai tugged at Miyuki's sleeve and complained.

"Xiao Ai..."

Li Ai felt that this title sounded quite intimate.

The small tentacle swayed like a snake, its tassel ball at the end opening a crack, spitting out blue slime, as if it were about to speak.

"It is dangerous for humans to know too much information, but as long as it is handled properly afterward, there will be no problem."

Hearing the words "handle properly" made Li Ai's heart tighten. She thought about it carefully but did not ask for specific details.

The right tentacle rose up and turned to poke Li Ai twice.

Ai understood, cleared her throat, and asked, "You've asked me so many questions, so I should ask you too. What have you been preparing for all this time?"

"I've established an intelligence network on the isolated island, as well as the territory of Wolf Castle. My next step is to tame a sea dragon as a partner and then continue my investigation in the sea."

"Sea Dragon... Speaking of this kind of monster, it reminds me of an extremely troublesome fellow."

Ai paused, lost in thought.

Li Ai deduced that the other party was referring to the rare species of sea dragon known as the Nether Sea Dragon, which can unleash black lightning and is called the King of the Underworld.

"I don't quite understand what you're doing, but it should be beneficial to the Ehai investigation, right?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll help you out, and while I'm at it, I'll also learn your monster-humanization techniques."

Li Ai discovered that although Xiao Ai was terrifying, this original personality was quite honest in communication.

"That's great. With you involved, I'm sure the whole process will be very simple."

With such strong support, Li Ai felt that the plan to subdue them suddenly went smoothly.

I even have a vague feeling that I can succeed without my own plan.

But then I thought, Ai must still have some shortcomings, otherwise she wouldn't be able to achieve this only by targeting abnormal individuals, even with her overwhelming combat power.

In the afternoon, on the shallow beach below the cliffs of the isolated island.

A white sea dragon with a quartz-white shell is wriggling in the water, its body resembling that of a lizard.

This is not its territory, and it is not very familiar with the terrain.

It was only the occasional aquatic beast that inhabited this place that aroused its hunting desires.

Upon seeing this, the largest water beast leader let out a hasty roar and led its tribe to flee along a tributary of a river.

Bai Hailong didn't rush to chase after them, but instead lay down in the shallows, seemingly enjoying the unique environment.

Call ~

A fiery dragon shadow swept across his body.

Bai Hailong opened his eyes and raised his neck to look at the sky.

A female Rathalos with a missing tail not only flew back, but also dripped a few drops of viscous purple venom onto its cylindrical, electric shell.

Snap~

Blue-green arcs of electricity flickered, intertwining and coiling between the columnar protrusions.

Hey!

Bai Hailong roared angrily at the sky.

This wretched female Rathalos has been hovering above its head quite often lately.

Not only does it roar and provoke, but it also never lands to fight, and its lair seems to be located deep inland on the island.

Bai Hailong had absolutely no way to deal with the other party.

However, today was different. The other party landed on the mountaintop, and after landing, its neck bent and drooped downwards.

They thought the shouting would be a show of force, but instead a fireball billowing black smoke came hurtling down at an angle.

Being in shallow water, and protected by the white sea dragon's carapace, the attack failed to cause any damage, but it instantly brought the opponent's anger to its peak.

Clap!

An electric shock rang out, and the back-charged casing became translucent, emitting a blue light.

After a brief period of gathering power, a blue-green ball of electricity was emitted.

While the power of the electric breath is sufficient, its thrust is far less than that of a fireball, and it is designed to attack from a low position.

The electric ball traced an arc in mid-air, and began to fall when it reached its highest point.

Ouch~

As Cui Cui flapped her wings, she let out a mocking roar.

Bai Hailong was furious and was about to crawl up the mountain, but just as he was about to move, Cui Cui took off and flew low over the shallows.

Following the crawling white sea dragon, they soon followed it into the mountains.

Due to the mountainous terrain, the area became increasingly isolated.

Seeing that the other party had finally landed on the water, Bai Hailong disregarded everything else and scrambled away.

Before they could get close, various monsters, including the Bubble Fox Dragon, the Great Shield Crab, the Rainbow Bird, and the Blue Bear Beast, suddenly appeared from all directions, forming a pincer attack.

Bai Hailong was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't so much fear as it was the sudden appearance of so many monsters in a confined, narrow area, which was highly unusual.

However, this is only the beginning in the face of abnormal situations.

Various colored lights flashed on the monsters' bodies, and as their bodies rapidly shrank, they all transformed into humanoid monster girls.

Bai Hailong blinked, feeling as if he were dreaming. He remained stunned for a long time before remembering to roar intimidation.

At that moment, a hunter emerged from the jungle.

"Hello, Bai Hailong."

Li Ai waved and flashed a confident smile.

The other person's initially bewildered gaze turned cold the moment they saw the hunter.

Its back shell violently discharges electricity, instantly assuming a fighting stance, a behavior that is distinctly different from ordinary monsters.

"Such intense hostility! It's impossible to even make contact, let alone attempt to humanize them."

Ai, who was observing from a deep pool near the mountain on the shallow beach, shared her opinion.

Little Left vigorously eats fish and shrimp in the water, while Little Right nods in agreement with the tassel ball.

Li Ai raised her hand and spread her palms out in front of her.

"Calm down, fighting won't solve everything."

After saying that, all the monster girls who had surrounded them retreated and rested.

"You see, when a monster is anthropomorphized, it doesn't take up too much space, and everyone can get along well."

Bai Hailong's gaze darkened, and he craned his neck to survey the surrounding terrain, completely ignoring Li Ai's words.

Soon, a deep pool that could be entered came into view.

Bai Hailong's eyes suddenly trembled, and he suddenly felt a strong sense of fear.

The bright sunshine and the gently flowing river beside me created an atmosphere that was both peaceful and comfortable, yet at this moment, it all felt eerie and sinister.

It quickly surveyed its surroundings again, but still found no threat.

"The benefits of moe-ification don't stop there..."

Li Ai's words, which she kept saying, suddenly sounded less irritating at this moment, and instead gave off a sense of security and warmth.

It's like in an extremely dangerous environment, if someone acts relaxed and at ease, it makes you feel safe as well.

Bai Hailong's anger subsided, and the electric light on his back dissipated.

"Speaking such nonsense actually works?"

Ai Haibara was unwilling to admit why she hadn't been able to figure out such a simple and ordinary method.

Unwilling to give up, half of its body, covered in black and white armor, emerged from the water.

The fear intensified again, and Bai Hailong shook his head.

A major crisis was looming, and even Li Ai's lighthearted narration could no longer calm her emotions.

Because it clearly recognizes that this is a fear that originates from the depths of its instinct, a fear that could lead to death at the slightest touch.

It kept shaking its head, observing the monster girl, trying to see her reaction.

But none of them were as panicked and fearful as it was, until it saw the pair of female Rathalos sitting together on the rocks in the shallows.

The colorful birds nearby were singing happily, but the two female fire dragons seemed completely oblivious to it.

They looked worriedly at the emerald reflection on the water below them, as if they, like the water, were also worried about something.

"I'm really full after eating just a little bit!"

Li Ai picked up a fish, getting into the swing of things.

Bai Hailong's vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and he unleashed all his strength to crawl, leaping into the vicinity of the deep pool.

The moment a large splash of water erupted, a tentacle that had swelled and thickened underwater wrapped around its neck.

The sea dragon, which was nearly 35 meters long, was lifted out of the water by Gong Lan by the neck, and its escape attempt failed.

"what?"

Li Ai was still a little confused when she saw this.

Because he felt that Ai's hiding place was still quite well concealed.

After observing the surroundings, it became clear that, in order to prevent the other party from escaping, the deep pool in the relatively enclosed mountain shallows was indeed Bai Hailong's best escape point.

"The most correct choice, yet the worst decision was made... well, you're just unlucky."

Neeko and Captain Dragonfly were completely bewildered by what they saw.

They are not afraid of ancient dragons, but rather, due to their lower ecological niche and perception, they have mostly judged related threats through abnormal environments in the past.

Therefore, the stronger White Sea Dragon is actually more terrifying.

"Haha, it's my turn to shine!"

Although Ai really wanted to learn Li Ai's taming techniques, she also wanted to show them off herself.

Thus, a rotation system for subjugation was established: if one side proved effective, the other side would naturally have to take over.

If that fails, then the only option left is to resort to physical force in the final stage.

With its left tentacles expanding and opening wide, the white sea dragon landed on the water's surface.

Instead of trembling from excessive fear, his body entered a state of rigidity, his movements becoming sluggish and stiff as a puppet.

"Wait for me, I'm leaving."

Whoosh!

Ai quickly dived into the deep pool.

Soon the water began to churn and bubble, and after a while, a bluish-green back electrode shell emerged from the water.

Bai Hailong, whose emotions had just begun to calm down, froze again when he saw the skeleton of his own kind.

The left tentacle that emerged from underwater had now become thinner and extended, and at its end, at the dragon's head, was a piece of sea dragon bone.

The tentacles tilted upwards, mimicking the posture of a sea dragon raising its neck.

With the back-electrified shell floating on the water's surface, if Li Ai squinted to look at it, she might actually mistake it for something else.

With its left tentacle causing the sea dragon's head shell to shake, and its jawbone snapping open, Ai, carrying the electric shell on its back, emerged halfway out of the water, saying in a voiceover: "Hello, White Sea Dragon, I'm one of your kind. Can we be friends?"

The white sea dragon's head began to sway slightly, as if it were willing to acknowledge that everything before it was not real.

Li Ai looked at the Heavenly Eye and saw the other party sigh silently. She finally understood why, even when she went to live at the bottom of the Spirit Peak, she still stayed away from Xiao Ai.

"That's why Ai can only subdue abnormal individuals; ordinary monsters, on the other hand, would probably have already succumbed to the pressure and completely collapsed before she could even subdue them."

At this moment, Li Ai thought that instead of subduing Bai Hailong, he should try to save him first.

"Do you have a dream?... When you speak, your reaction is slow, which is the most difficult situation to handle."

"Is it always the same step in the same process?"

When Li Ai heard Xiao Ai muttering to herself, she immediately interrupted.

"Yeah, it's obvious that mimicking similarities makes it easier to get close to certain monsters, but that just doesn't work with some of them."

Ai said with a hint of frustration.

"Actually, most normal monsters wouldn't be able to do it..."

Li Ai thought to herself.

He realized that, for a monster, being able to keenly sense danger in the ecosystem is not entirely a good thing.

Under the influence of intense fear, Bai Hailong was unable to mount the fierce resistance that a ferocious monster should have.

"Since you're staying here, then let me take over."

"Okay, then all the credit is yours."

Ai crossed her arms, appearing somewhat resistant.

"Since we've already teamed up, it's a 'recruitment' synergy. If it succeeds, you'll definitely get half the credit."

Li Ai offered words of advice.
