Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

Facing Muti's warm and sincere gaze, Muxiang was stunned for a moment, and then looked a little distressed.

Although Muti was a simple-minded person, she was very observant. When she noticed the confusion in Muxiang's eyes, her mood suddenly became depressed.

Seabuckthorn, standing by with a look of anticipation on his face, also drooped his ears.

"No, no, it's not that I don't want to be your companion." Mu Xiang quickly raised her hands to comfort them, "It's just..."

"Ms. Muxiang, don't worry about it. Just say whatever you think."

Ao Lang smiled and said, "Whether you agree or refuse, we are all friends. After all, everyone has different goals, so there's no need to harbor resentment."

"Okay." Muxiang straightened her back slightly, placed her hands on her thighs, and sat in a very formal manner. "I am very willing to go with you two, but there are some things I must inform you of in advance.

The reason why I left my hometown and came to the Old World is because my teacher hopes that I can travel around the world and gain more knowledge, which is part of spiritual practice.

Since ancient times, the Land of Fire has been restless, with winds destroying the Moon City, hundreds of dragons roaming at night, strange disasters from the underworld, and rampages by mad dragons.

Sooner or later, I will return to Yanhuo Village, where I was born and raised. Protecting my homeland is my lifelong duty."

They all sounded scary, and Ao Lang felt his scalp tingling.

Muxiang had told them some things about Yanhuo Village and the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons before. They knew that the place was not peaceful, but they didn't expect it to be so unpeaceful.

No wonder a tea shop owner could train a hunter of Muxiang's caliber.

Seabuckthorn leaned on the edge of the table and looked at her, "Then Sister Muxiang probably won't be returning to Yanhuo Village for the next one or two years, meow?"

Mu Xiang thought for a moment and shook her head, "Not yet. My current strength is far inferior to even the two girls who work as poster girls at the Yanhuo Village Club.

Perhaps only after being promoted to a higher position can I truly help everyone."

Hearing Mu Xiang's words, Muti regained his spirits. "So, in the next two years, can you become our hunting companion?"

Mu Xiang smiled at her and said, "Of course. Giovadreo, Metabetate, Dondoruma, or any other city, it makes no difference to me."

Aolang and Muti looked at each other. Muxiang's words probably meant that she agreed.

"That's great, meow!" Seabuckthorn squeezed next to Muxiang, "If Muxiang's hometown is in trouble, we will also help out, meow! Boss to meow!"

"Of course." Aolan said with a smile, "Since we want to be partners, isn't that the most basic thing?"

Muxiang, who was sitting upright, lowered her head and leaned forward, "Please give me your guidance during this period."

"Ooooh!" Muti cheered, raising his arms.

At this time, the part-time receptionist named Milch came over with a huge tray. In addition to the dishes they had ordered before, the tray also contained several large glasses of wine.

She smiled and said, "These glasses of wine were sent by the boss lady. She said that when you are so happy like this, you can't not drink a few sips."

Olang and the others turned around to look at the counter, and Muti waved his hands and shouted loudly, "Thank you, boss lady!"

Behind the counter, a beautiful dragon lady lazily raised the small fan in her hand and nodded at them twice from a distance as a token of gratitude.

"cheers!"

The three people plus Elu's two wine glasses clinked together, and the full cups of wine splashed into each other's glasses.

What followed was a hearty meal.

Hunters rarely chewed their food slowly. After quickly filling his stomach, Orlan thought about the topic that Muti had interrupted earlier. "By the way, what Yuwan said just now makes sense. Muti, are you planning to go home on the way?"

Muti swallowed the food in his mouth with force, looking a little hesitant.

She hadn't seen Grandpa Amos for over a year, and she did miss him a little, but she was also worried that if she went back, it would affect her companions' next actions.

After spending so much time together, Orlan immediately guessed what she was thinking. "No need to worry about that. I'll return to Metabetat to complete my mission and will probably rest for a few days.

I'm pretty tired after a week of being out in the wild, so I'll just treat it as a short vacation."

"Actually, I also want to go to Dondorma." Muxiang suddenly spoke.

Seeing Aolan and the others looking at her in surprise, she smiled and explained, "There are many airship flights from Dongdoruma to Yanhuo Village, so I plan to go back to my hometown."

"Are you planning to go home too?"

"Well, after all, I've been away from home for several years." Muxiang rubbed Seabuckthorn's head, "And Seabuckthorn said before that you have to find your own bonds.

I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I think it's time to go see Mr. Daoji for a suitable hunting partner."

"Let's all go home." Ao Lang pondered.

Should I go back and take a look too?

Chapter 218 Chaos Begins

Late at night, the Dragon Knowledge Ship passed over the city of Metabetat.

A large airship of this size would consume a lot of fuel and time whether taking off or landing, so the Dragon Knowledge Ship rarely landed on the ground unless necessary.

People usually get on and off via a small airboat fixed near the stern.

Aolang was saying goodbye to Muti Muxiang and the others with sea buckthorn.

He will leave first and land in Metabetat by a small airship to complete the mission settlement procedures so as not to exceed the mission time limit.

Muti Muxiang will continue to travel to Dongdoruma on the Longshi ship, and then return to their respective hometowns to visit relatives.

The three agreed to meet at the hunters' gathering place in Metabetat one month later.

After bidding farewell to his companions, Orlan Seabuckthorn boarded the small and light airship. What he didn't expect was that the pilot of the airship was actually the dragon-man poster girl named Milch.

Miss Milch's airship piloting skills were unexpectedly excellent. In less than twenty minutes, the small airship landed lightly on the open space in front of the meeting hall.

Ao Lang walked down the gangway with Seabuckthorn, turned back and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

Milch waved at them with a smile, and quickly maneuvered the small airship into the air, chasing the Dragon Consciousness Ship that was gradually moving away above the clouds.

"I feel a subtle sense of loneliness, meow." Seabuckthorn next to Orlan shook his ears and muttered.

Aolan reached out and rubbed the top of its head twice. He could actually understand that feeling. They usually acted in a team, and suddenly they were alone, which was really a bit strange.

"Let's go."

A man and a cat walked into the meeting hall.

It was already past midnight, and the usually bustling area of ​​the tavern was now silent. The entire first-floor lobby was pitch black, with only an oil lamp lit by the task counter, but no one was visible.

"Meow?"

Seabuckthorn suddenly shuddered and turned sharply towards the tavern area, "Who meow?! There's movement over there meow!"

Olang subconsciously looked towards the tavern area. Between the dimly visible tables and chairs, stood a figure. He walked slowly, as if he was dragging something heavy.

The knocked-over tables and chairs rubbed against the floor, making a harsh creaking sound.

"Okay, it seems like there are two people being dragged, meow." Seabuckthorn's voice was a little shaky.

Aolan frowned and shouted, "Who's there?"

"Huh?" The figure stopped, then trotted over, still dragging the heavy object in his hand. "Is it Aolanme?"

The familiar voice made Orlan's expression relax, "President Noah?"

Noah grunted as she dragged the two large lumps of stuff closer. With the dim light from the oil lamp on the other side of the counter, Olang could barely see that she was indeed dragging two people.

".What are you doing?"

"Ah? Ah, that's what you're talking about." Noah released the ankles of the two men. "I'm going to drag the drunk guy lying under the table to the training ground. There are cushions and blankets over there."

"I see."

No wonder you often see hungover drunks when you go to the training ground early in the morning.

This guy has worked so hard. He is the guild leader of a local guild, but he has to do all these things himself.

"Seabuckthorn, let's lend a hand."

With the help of Orlan and Seabuckthorn, they finally dragged the several fast-sleeping drunks to the training ground.

Olang, who had some obsessive-compulsive disorder, lined them up peacefully, but not long after, several drunken men hugged each other again, and one of them even hugged another's neck and licked him, which made Olang's hair stand on end.

Here's one more reason to drink moderately and avoid getting drunk.

"Thank you!" The poster girl president led Orlan back to the task counter and dimmed the light of the oil lamp on the counter.

It looks like she's on duty tonight.

"You just got back? What took you so long? Did the Tailhammer hunt go well? Muti, and that Miss Muxiang?"

In response to a series of questions from Miss Noah, Orlan briefly explained the situation.

"A ferocious Tail Hammer Dragon? A Dragon Knows Ship? Tsk, did that little silver-haired guy tell you about hunting styles and fighting techniques, and then invite you to the Dragon Calendar Academy?"

Aolan: “.”

"You won't agree to it, will you?" I don't know if it was her acting or something, but Miss Noah's eyes became tearful.

"No, we plan to stay here for a while longer."

"That's good! That's good!" Noah patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "Among the guilds and major organizations in various places, the one that likes to recruit people everywhere the most, besides us, is the Dragon Calendar Institute. You guys better be vigilant!"

Aolan: “.”

For a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Fortunately, Ms. Noah didn't dwell on this topic for too long. "Oh, yes, you just mentioned ferocity, right?"

"Yes."

"What a coincidence," she muttered softly in her throat.

Seabuckthorn heard it with his sharp ears and asked, "What Qiaomiao?"

"Nothing much." Miss Noya fiddled with her carefully trimmed bangs. "A few days ago, the vanguard hunting group returned and they also encountered a ferocious monster."

"Brother Sayer and the others?! Are they okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Noah shook his palm, "Their mission was to hunt the velociraptors, but a ferocious giant monster bird showed up.

I heard from them that the velociraptor also fought with the giant bird. Although the velociraptor successfully bit off the giant bird's neck, it was still hit hard by the giant bird several times.

Instead, it made their battle much easier."

At this point, Noah raised his index finger and tapped his chin. "It's rare to see ferocious monsters. Normally, you might not hear about one in a year, but now two have appeared."

Aolan frowned, "Could there be any connection between the two?"

"Connection?" Noah was stunned. "What connection? Isn't ferocity similar to phenomena like subspecies and rare species? A special change that occurs in certain individuals due to environmental influences and coincidences?"

Ao Lang's expression was serious. "This is indeed the mainstream view in academia. Due to the insufficient sample size, this view cannot be considered a conclusion. We cannot rule out the possibility that other factors may have contributed to the ferocity of the disease."

"." Noah was silent for a few seconds, "Why are you talking like those scholars?"

“Because that’s basically what the scholars said.”

".Okay." Noah reluctantly took out a map from the counter drawer and unfolded it.

Alang knew at a glance that this was a map of the Metabe Wet Forest.

"Where exactly did you encounter the Tailhammer Dragon?" Noah asked.

"Here." Orlan quickly pointed out the location, "The southern edge of the dense forest, near the Ruins Plain."

"Yes, but the location where the vanguard team discovered that ferocious giant bird is roughly here." Noah pointed his finger at the other side of the map. "The western part of the dense forest is close to the sea. The straight-line distance between the two places is about 500 kilometers. If there is a connection, it would be a major event."

"That makes sense." Orlan nodded. Noah's reason convinced him.

"Okay, don't think too much. It's so late, go to bed!" Noah's tone was like coaxing a child.

Just then, a carrier pigeon landed on the windowsill next to the counter, and its "coo-coo" sound attracted the attention of the two men.

"Good night, Miss Noah. You must have worked hard on duty." Orlan withdrew his gaze. He was not that curious. He said hello and left with Seabuckthorn.

"Good night." Noah smiled and waved, then walked to the windowsill and took the small mailbox containing the note from the pigeon's leg.

"Tsk, it's a letter from that old woman Giovadreo." When Noah was alone, she took off her usual cute or elegant mask and smacked her lips in an indecent manner.

"Two weeks ago, a ferocious peach-haired beast king was spotted near the land bridge. A few days ago, a ferocious sleeping bird was spotted in the southeastern part of the dense forest. I felt something was amiss and was wondering if there were any similar cases here.

Uh-huh???!!"

Chapter 219 Passing by

Olang slept in for the first time in a long time.
