Monster Hunter Monster Girl Story

Chapter 84 Moonquake

Li Ai, feeling relaxed, had a good night's sleep.

The next morning.

A Seven Stars Quest titled "Save Moga Village!" was posted in the Open-Air Guild.

Li Ai participated as a four-star hunter, tasked with rescuing the wounded.

However, Love Hunters cannot form teams and are not included in rescue squads like other hunters.

"Emergency rescue is needed to remove the seriously injured hunter, who is unable to move, from underwater."

Li Ai glanced at the content and felt that the difficulty lay in the extremely complex rescue environment.

Then he picked up the underwater ruins map drawn by the Marine Team and examined it carefully.

Time passed slowly amidst the intense preparations.

In the afternoon, the waves suddenly became more violent.

As the ground shook, a tsunami crashed down.

However, there were no ships docked at the port at this time, and the pier was deserted.

After Ash rang the warning bell, he boarded the lifeboat with the documents and seal, and saw the Sea Team preparing to depart, along with a group of support hunters, running towards the shore where a huge wave was approaching.

Realizing this might be the last time he saw Pontos, Asha waved frantically and called out, "Mr. Pontos!"

Everyone paused, thinking the other person needed rescue.

The next line was, "I've liked you for a long time!"

Pontos was taken aback upon hearing this, and then the shadow of the tsunami enveloped the entire village of Moga.

Giant waves crashed down, causing houses to collapse.

Numerous planks floated on the sea surface, and Pontos emerged from the water.

Seeing Ah Xia on the lifeboat waving at him to indicate that he was alright, he finally relaxed.

The villagers and businessmen have all been evacuated; no rescue operation is needed.

The four members of Team Marines led all the participating personnel toward the underwater ruins.

As the light grew fainter, a massive complex of buildings gradually came into view.

Long corridors, plazas, and pillars.

Despite the surface being covered with green algae, the general structure of the ruins can still be discerned by their outlines.

At this moment, one of the members of the Sea Team suddenly stopped, and the member carrying the heavy crossbow swam back to Li Ai's side.

Glug glug~

Bubbles welled up in his mouth, and as he made a whimpering sound, he pointed upwards with his hand.

Looking up, Li Ai was astonished to find the white sea dragon coiling and swimming diagonally above her.

After carefully examining its features, it was undoubtedly the individual that had already been subdued.

Li Ai gestured with her hands to indicate that Bai Hailong was no longer a threat and that the location of the ruins had been confirmed, so there was no need for her to wait any longer. Then she swam towards Bai Hailong's location.

He naturally hoped that Bai Hailong could come to his aid in this operation.

After all, among the existing monster girls, the other party is the most suitable to participate in underwater combat.

But the Great Sea Dragon is an ancient dragon, and one that has gone mad and has no reason left.

Since Bai Hailong wasn't gender-bent, he definitely wouldn't be willing to go on an adventure with Li Ai, so there was no insistence.

Therefore, the appearance of the other party puzzled Li Ai greatly.

Seeing Li Ai break away from the humans and approach, Bai Hailong became extremely excited, constantly circling and swimming around her.

Li Ai pondered for a moment, sensing that the action was a warning of an approaching threat and an immediate evacuation.

"At this point, you're still thinking of reminding me. It seems our time together hasn't been wasted. But that's exactly why I took action."

After Li Ai finished speaking, she touched Bai Hailong's forehead.

After gesturing a couple more times, it continued swimming towards the deep-sea ruins.

Plop plop~

A bluish-green flash of lightning suddenly illuminated the area behind them.

Li Ai turned her head and saw that the white sea dragon's protruding shell was violently discharging electricity.

The original attempts to dissuade them from swimming were replaced by vicious shouts.

"Don't be angry. I know it's dangerous, but if we don't start the operation, not only will Moga Village perish, but this sea area will never be peaceful."

Li Ai could only wave her hand and continue to comfort him.

Bai Hailong changed his strategy and swam in front of Li Ai.

Then he twisted his body and stirred the water, pushing Li Ai away into the distance.

"Don't be ridiculous. If the rescue isn't timely, there's a real possibility of casualties."

Seeing Li Ai suddenly wave her hand at him, as if she was really angry.

Bai Hailong lowered his head, and the churning water stopped, clearing the way ahead.

The other party moved quickly, but was soon obscured by the pillars erected in the ruins, and could no longer be seen.

Bai Hailong hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

After reuniting with the support team, they swam deeper for a while, and the originally calm water flow suddenly became sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, as if it were being controlled by someone.

Many walls above are cracked, and bricks and stones are slowly sinking down.

All of this could be reasonably explained by the impact just now, until the viscous spot emitting a ghostly blue light was discovered by repeated self-impacts.

"Could it be that Bai Hailong saw not only the madwoman, but also Xiao Ai?"

Li Ai seemed to understand why the other party was so nervous.

But then I thought about it and something didn't seem right. After all, I and Ai had worked together to win over Bai Hailong, so he should know that Ai wasn't much of a threat to me.

"If the marks are fresh, could Ai be here too...? It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, the other party taught Shiro that staying away from humans is staying away from trouble. And at the crucial point of obtaining the Immortal Heart, even if she is here, it won't be a disadvantage in the battle."

When Li Ai realized this, she felt much more relaxed.

As the sea team passed by, many ribbons appeared on the ruins' rock walls.

These labels and reminders are generally used as warnings.

For example, it may be discovered that the wall pillars are cracked and there is a risk of collapse at any time.

However, as more and more people discovered, a significant portion of these were actually markings of monster traces.

The green algae have disappeared from the surfaces where traces remain.

The shattered interior revealed a charred, blackened glaze layer.

Similar traces were becoming more and more numerous, and the Sea Team could no longer mark them all. The places that were originally covered by green algae were now covered with dark patches.

"The marks from the Great Sea Dragon would only be from fractures left by a violent impact. Ai is slime, so who left these marks that shattered the wall?"

Li Ai suddenly became alert, after all, underwater ruins are not places that just anyone can come to inhabit.

Seeing the surrounding ruins and walls, with their charred glaze distributed in a spherical radial pattern, a bad thought suddenly popped into my head.

"Could the Nether Sea Dragon be here too?"

Glug glug~

A few bubbles surged in front of me, and the next moment, a violent surge came.

Li Ai and all the members of the rescue team were swept onto the ruins' rock face.

A dazzling silver light shone down from above.

A giant creature, nearly 60 meters long, passed overhead.

The two massive, crescent-shaped pillars swung horizontally at the city wall that blocked the road ahead.

Amidst the rumbling tremors, the wall collapsed and crumbled.

The giant dragon tilted its head to the side, and after seeing that the road ahead was clear with its exposed eyes, it continued to swim by flicking its tail.

The turbulent water surged again, and the rescue team members, who had just floated to the surface, were once again pressed back onto the ruins' brick wall.

The thought that the Sea Team was going to defeat such a monster filled the previously confident group with despair.

However, the ruins of the city gate in the combat zone were nearby, leaving no way out.

Pontos avoided the disturbance of the current and quickly swam above the sea dragon.

Taking advantage of the limited visibility, he drew his Sea Dragon Spear and thrust it twice.

The hard keratin at the base of the giant horn shattered and fell off under the surge of electric light.

The sea dragon turned its head to the side and raised its head.

Once it confirmed the location of the human figure, it suddenly swung its body and gave chase.

The surrounding water began to surge violently simply from the movement.

The rescue team members, who were all skilled underwater hunters, were now unable to even steady themselves and follow the trail.

But at this moment, on the roof of the ruins, there were two figures, one in silver and one in blue, ignoring the surging water and observing everything below.

Ai, wearing a white bone mask, looked surprised.

Her surprise stemmed not from seeing the Great Sea Dragon, but from the human who dared to confront it directly and offer guidance.

Little White, standing to the side, gripped its left tentacle tightly with both hands.

Only when he noticed the mucus spilling in front of his eyes and realized that Xiao Zuo had been squeezed unconscious, did he hurriedly let go.

Before Ai could notice, he quickly and gently massaged her a few times.

Surprisingly, Xiao Zuo actually recovered, but his intelligence was not very high.

After spinning around once, he suddenly stabbed the madwoman, seemingly mistaking her for the culprit.

As the force of the water flow gradually weakened, Ji Ai and the rescue team arrived at the designated standby location marked on the map.

According to the original plan, he only needed to wait here, and would only choose to approach if there was a suitable opportunity for rescue.

But when Li Ai deduced that the Nether Sea Dragon was still nearby, she could no longer remain calm.

"Underwater, signal flares are useless, and sound transmission is severely obstructed. The only thing that can give a warning is paint sticks, but only when they are close can the Sea Team be sure to see them."

Just as Li Ai was trying to think of a solution, a huge tremor suddenly struck.

The wall where the rescue team was hiding collapsed due to the earthquake, completely exposing them.

At this moment, the scene of the Madwoman Dahailong banging her head against the city wall gate was also revealed to everyone.

In comparison, the Sea Team was as small as a fish, but there was no significant difference in size, so they were afraid to fight and avoided battle.

The suspended Pontos, positioned above his head, relentlessly thrust his spear at the base of the giant horn.

The advantage of the long spear in precisely targeting specific areas was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Under the highly efficient and concentrated thrusts, the abnormally proliferating giant horn did not appear to be severely damaged overall, but a black crack oozing ancient dragon blood had appeared at its base.

With signs of success emerging, Li Ai was very excited.

But then he locked onto a flashing silvery-white spot higher up.

Li Ai, who was familiar with the light, could confirm that it was Xiao Bai.

"Wait, if Xiaobai is willing to hold back the Nether Sea Dragon, perhaps the battle can be completed without any warning."

""

As Li Ai was thinking, the giant sea dragon swung its tail, and a sudden surge of water rushed towards them.

Without the walls to block them, the seabed rock slabs and planks all floated and crashed down.

After using her shield to block, Li Ai swam upwards.

At this moment, a five-star heavy crossbowman from the Sea Team, having been attacked in some unknown way, lost his weapon and his body sank unconsciously.

After Li Ai helped him steady, he handed him over to the other hunters and went upstream again.

At this moment, Ai is watching more and more intently.

His eyes were fixed on each of Pontos's thrusts.

She gradually realized that these humans were not overestimating themselves, but rather possessed absolute courage and fighting power, which was why they chose to reappear and attempt a near-impossible feat.

"It seems that besides that dragonman, there are others we need to be wary of."

As Ai was feeling sentimental, her right tentacle suddenly began to stab downwards repeatedly.

Looking down, I saw Li Ai swimming against the current towards me.

"What is Li Ai doing here in such a dangerous situation?"

Ai was a little confused.

In her view, Li Ai has always been very alert in avoiding danger.

For example, in Jieyun Village, the other side almost escaped.

At this moment, Li Ai was quite surprised to see that Xiao Ai, who was wearing a light purple bone mask, was also there.

Glug glug~

Li Ai was blowing bubbles and letting out a sob, while also gesturing with her hands.

"There are still enemies?"

Ai seems to understand.

Xiao Bai looked surprised that he could understand the meaning from Li Ai's gestures.

Seeing Li Ai pointing to her back repeatedly, Xiao Ai suddenly realized and said, "I was wondering why the underwater ruins felt so strange. So that guy was there too."

Upon realizing it was the Dark Sea Dragon, Ai's gaze darkened.

She wasn't nervous; instead, she first put Xiao You into her mouth.

Clearly, in this situation, it would be more appropriate for Xiao You to step in and handle it.

As for Li Ai's request for help, even if Xiao Ai were in her original form, she would understand the situation by seeing the desperate battle below.

"The crazy woman's matter was finally on the verge of being resolved, but she had to show up at this crucial moment. It's time to teach her a lesson."

Ai's words were still relatively clear in the water.

Unfortunately, Li Ai couldn't go on; all she could manage to say was sob.

"I don't understand, but the condition for me to take action is that the humans cannot keep any records."

Ai made a request.

Li Ai stopped speaking and simply spread her hands in a gesture.

It's as if it's saying that there's no time to even carry out rescue operations, so who would bother to observe the movements of other monsters in the underwater ruins?

Ai nodded and reminded him, "You should also stay away from me, or it will be troublesome if you die."

Li Ai nodded vigorously. After all, no human in this world would want to get close to the underwater battle between the Nether Sea Dragon and the Skeleton Dragon.

Li Ai then began to dive and swim.

In a daze, he suddenly felt the seawater cool down a bit.

Unable to resist my curiosity, I turned and glanced back.

Ai's figure in the sea was far less bright and dazzling than Shiro's.

But at this moment, the emitted blue light dimmed and blurred the surrounding area.

The silver sheen on Xiaobai's body surface has darkened.

At this moment, both tentacles on the left and right were stuffed into the other's mouth.

The human's body suddenly swelled, with two tentacles rising first, followed by the outlines of four arms and legs appearing beneath it.

Little White's body also suddenly expanded. When it completely transformed into a giant sea dragon, although it was not as long as the madwoman's 60-meter body, it was at least about 40 meters long.

With her two tentacles coiled around her, Ai locked herself in place.

The little white creature with a pair of broken horns on its head swam faster, straightened its body and swam like a fish, and fell straight into the ruins.

The tremors traveled across the seabed, causing large sections of the ruins to collapse.

Clearly, the two monsters fighting together had no intention of patiently searching for the Nether Sea Dragon.

Instead, they thought that after destroying the surrounding area, the Nether Sea Dragon, which would most likely appear in the form of a monster girl, would naturally be exposed due to the lack of cover.
