Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

"stand up."

When Muti looked up, he met Altman's cold gaze. He quickly rolled over and got up.

If he stayed lying on the ground any longer, Instructor Altman's big foot would come down on him.

This time when she returned to Dondoruma, she planned to visit Grandpa Amos and take a vacation.

On the first day back home, Grandpa Amos was very happy and cooked a large table of dishes, so much so that even she felt a little full.

The next day, apart from the minimum physical training to maintain her physical condition, she lay on the bed in her bedroom all day, looking at the miscellaneous books that Sister Fu Fu had thrown there, and eating the snacks brought by Grandpa Amos with a silly smile.

The same thing happened on the third and fourth days. Days like these were so comfortable that almost a week passed in the blink of an eye.

On the seventh day, he was dragged from his bedroom to the training ground by Instructor Altman, who was called by Grandpa Amos, and began the devilish training in the dark.

It's a fatal mistake. If I had known this, I should have fled East Dorma and returned to Metabetat on the sixth night.

That night, Grandpa Amos's face was very dark. Unfortunately, I was busy lying on the bed reading miscellaneous books and didn't notice

"Tell me yourself, where the biggest problem lies."

Altman's cold voice woke Muti from his regret.

She held her head in her hands. "Wow, at the last moment, in order to counterattack, did you slack off on defense?"

"wrong answer."

Altman picked up the hammer again, "Go change your shield and continue."

"Wang Wang!"

"Awooo-woof!"

"Woof!"

Muxiang lay flat on the ground, allowing a group of big dogs to come around her and lick her face, hands, and even her feet in wooden clogs.

Overwhelmed by dogs, not knowing what to do.

Until a whistle called away all the over-enthusiastic hounds. Muxiang, with saliva all over his face, lay on the ground, looking at the sky, talking to himself in a trance.

“It turns out that I am actually a dog person.”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" A woman in a light green cloth dress, with her hair tied in a simple bun with chopsticks, and exuding the refreshing and sweet fragrance of bean paste, put her hands on her hips and looked down at her.

"Hey, Teacher Ai Cao~." Muxiang had no intention of getting up. He waved his hands weakly and greeted the woman.

At this moment, another figure entered her sight.

He was a man with long hair and handsome features. A large group of hounds and cats surrounded him, making a lot of noise and refusing to leave.

"Why do you act like Ailu who is only drunk on Mu Tianliao?" The man criticized helplessly as he saw Muxiang lying on the ground and refusing to get up.

"Mr. Blade Spine."

Although their relationship is almost like that of father and daughter, there is still a difference between men and women. Muxiang tidied her clothes, stood up and knelt.

"How is it? I heard that you were looking for a hound as a hunting partner, so I called all the little guys who don't have partners over here. Do you see anyone you like?" Dao Ji asked while stroking the heads of the cats and dogs.

Looking at the group of hounds jumping around Dao Ji, Mu Xiang was silent for a moment and shook his head vigorously.

"I can't choose. I can't choose at all. Can I let them all follow me?"

Ai Cao squatted down and patted Mu Xiang on the head unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Dao Ji also shook his head, "You don't have the ability to take care of them all."

"But they are all so cute, I can't choose at all!" Muxiang hugged Aicao's arm and twisted her body.

If Olangmuti or the hunters who had worked with Muxiang were here, they would probably stare in surprise.

Who would have thought that Miss Muxiang, who was usually mature, demure, and abiding by etiquette, would actually act like a spoiled brat? She even forgot her usual uncultured mannerisms.

"Can you think of a solution quickly?" Ai Cao looked at Dao Ji and urged him dissatisfiedly.

Dao Ji rubbed the corner of his eye, pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked Mu Xiang, "How about this, let them choose?"

"good."

Dao Ji clapped his hands twice and said, "Everyone! Mu Xiang will be leaving Yanhuo Village soon and going to the Old Continent to continue her training.

For a long time to come, she may not be able to return to her hometown, and naturally she will not be able to eat the food I prepare.

Even so, is there anyone willing to go out with her?"

"How can you say that!" Muxiang shouted in dissatisfaction.

Most of the hounds fell silent.

Although I really want to go out and take a look, considering the massage and delicious meal provided by Boss Daoji, it would be better to stay in Yanhuo Village, right?

The remaining few hounds seemed a little hesitant, only one hound with silver-gray hair and an extremely large size was jumping and howling, looking excited as if it couldn't wait to rush out of the village.

Muxiang blinked, it seemed that there was no need to choose?

Dao Ji seemed a little hesitant. He stroked the back of the Fang Hound and finally calmed it down. "This child is called 'Xiang'.

With a massive build, strong bones, and a strong fighting spirit, it can be said that it possesses almost all the qualities to grow into a top-notch fang hound."

Muxiang looked at the big guy named "Xiang", then looked at Daojing who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and felt that there would definitely be a turning point next.

Sure enough, Dao Ji paused for a moment and sighed, "But this child is very wild and doesn't like to be restrained. Sometimes he won't listen to orders.

Although his physical talent was visible to the naked eye and he was picked up by hunters twice to become their hunting partner, he was eventually sent back.

To be honest, I don't really recommend you take Xiang out. No one can really control it except me."

Mu Xiang acted as if she hadn't heard anything. She walked straight up to the giant hound, whose back was almost taller than her shoulders, and scratched its chin. "So, do you want to go out with me?"

The hound named Xiang stuck out his big tongue and nodded quickly.

Muxiang smiled and rubbed its big head, "Then choose it!"

ps. I saw a reader comment that the design of Xianglan was rather arbitrary, which made me think about it, because I was sure that I designed it based on a character in my memory.

She has many tags such as love of beauty, being mean, not very smart, fond of provoking trouble, arrogant, cowardly, unlucky, often persecuted, etc.

But I couldn't be sure for a moment what character I had modeled this cat after. I thought hard all night before I suddenly figured it out.

Ah. Coolome.

Chapter 237 My best friend!

From the northern border of the continent close to the pole, back to the hot central region.

Bathing in the scorching summer sun and taking a deep breath of Metabetat's warm air, the last trace of coldness that had penetrated into the bone marrow dissipated, and the whole body seemed to become more flexible.

"It's so hot that my whole body is prickly, meow." Seabuckthorn waved his little paws and fanned himself, "We are obviously outdoors, meow."

"It's the middle of summer here. It's impossible for it to be warm inside and cold outside."

Orlan flicked Seabuckthorn's ear and teased, "What's wrong with you? We've only been in Revere for a little over a week, and even including the round trip, it's only ten days. Why do you feel like you've turned into a northern cat?"

"Meow——" Seabuckthorn breathed out, looking weak.

It is a long-haired Elu, accustomed to the dryness and large temperature differences in the desert. It can adapt to the extreme cold in the north, but the high temperature and high humidity in the dense forest area in midsummer really make it very uncomfortable.

It feels like wanting to sweat but not being able to.

"Let's walk faster. It should feel better when we get to the meeting place out of the sun. Let's order something cold."

"Good meow!"

The man and the cat quickened their pace, almost jogging all the way from the airship landing area to the door of the gathering hall.

The strange scene before them made them pause.

There was a lounge chair on the wooden platform at the entrance of the meeting hall, with an umbrella next to it. There was also a small coffee table next to the umbrella, on which was an iced drink.

An Elu with silver fur all over her body was lying on a lounge chair, basking in the sun comfortably.

It had a pair of delicate and small sunglasses on its face, making it difficult to see its expression, but from its even and slow breathing, it could be judged that this Elu must have squinted in the sun.

"."

Aolan and Seabuckthorn looked at each other.

Although they didn't know where the conspicuous bag came from, it had nothing to do with them anyway. The man and the cat walked around the lounge chair and pushed the door to enter the meeting room.

The moment the door was opened, a cool breeze blew in my face.

The midsummer heat dissipated in an instant. Orlan couldn't help but take a deep breath, and Seabuckthorn shivered refreshingly.

The temperature outside was over 35 degrees Celsius. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so cool indoors even without the sunlight. Orlan took a quick look and quickly confirmed the source of the cold air.

There were several large wooden basins placed around the meeting hall, filled with large blocks of ice, which were slowly emitting cold air.

There were also hunters who took their empty wine glasses and scooped ice water from the wooden basin to drink.

Orlan looked a little dazed.

In Revere, no matter how much ice there is, it is worthless. Not to mention the snowfields and ice seas, even the streets in the city can be seen piled up with ice and snow everywhere.

But this is Metabetat.

Getting this ice comes at a price.

Seabuckthorn jumped into one of the wooden basins and drank the ice water, while Orlan walked towards the task counter alone.

Behind the counter, the chairman of the poster girl was working on documents with her head down. She noticed someone approaching out of the corner of her eye and immediately looked up.

When she saw that it was Aolang, she smiled enthusiastically and opened her arms wide, "Would you like a long-awaited hug?"

"No thanks." Ao Lang raised his hand and refused decisively.

"Hehe." Noya smiled and retracted her arms. She had guessed that Orlan would refuse. "I thought you would stay in Revere City for a while. How was your vacation?"

“It’s quite fulfilling.”

"Is it cool over there?"

"It's cold, to be exact." Orlan said, glancing around at the wooden basins filled with ice, "But you're so extravagant here?

It must have cost a lot of money to get this ice. How did you come up with this?"

"Hehe!" Noah laughed proudly. "That was Miss Xianglan's suggestion. Everyone is listless in this hot weather. Making the meeting place cooler will increase everyone's enthusiasm for completing the mission."

"Really? Shouldn't we stay here to escape the summer heat and not be willing to go out?" Ao Lang said casually.

He didn't care who the Miss Xianglan Noah was talking about, he just thought she was a staff member he didn't know.

Noah's smile froze on his face.

She said that there were more people coming to the gathering place in the past two days, but the total number of tasks accepted daily had decreased.

The ice will be removed tomorrow!

"Oh, by the way, are Senior Seer and the others still in the city now?" Orlan recalled the regret of not being able to participate in the dragon hunting before setting off.

Among the fire-attribute weapons recommended by Teacher Huali is the Dragon Slaying Sword. If Senior Seer and the others are still interested in Dragon Slaying, perhaps they can join a team.

Perfect! Dragon Slayer's water resistance is very poor, so my cold chopping knife comes in handy!

When Noah heard Aolan mention this, the smile on her face disappeared. She was always smiling, but after putting away her smile, her facial features looked a little gloomy.

Ao Lang frowned when he noticed something was wrong. "What happened?"

Noah was silent for a few seconds before he said, "That dragon-slaying beast was a ferocious form, and the team that took on that mission suffered heavy casualties.

Your concerns were correct. In recent days, several ferocious individuals have appeared in the dense forest area. Metabetat and Giovadreau have jointly issued an abnormal warning.

"What is the reason? Have you found it?" Orlan asked.

"Not yet. We have reported this matter to Dongdoruma. The Grand Elder Palace takes it very seriously and has sent several investigation teams deep into the dense forest to investigate. We hope to get a result as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Aolang wasn't exactly familiar with the deceased hunters, but he did know them. He lost interest in chatting after hearing the tragic news. "If there's anything I can do to help, feel free to let me know."

After leaving this sentence, he was ready to turn around and leave.

Noah stopped him and said, "Wait, do you know a young scholar named Eric? He's from the Academy and has silver hair."

"I know him, what's wrong with him?" Ao Lang turned around in confusion.

"Well, it's like this. He came to us a few days ago and was ordered to organize the reports recently submitted by the hunters to make sure we didn't miss anything.
