Monster Hunter Monster Girl Story

0051 Colleague

Following the location on my phone, I traveled along the village's main road for two hours, then turned onto a mountain road and traveled for a short while longer.

Li Ai arrived at a small depression surrounded by mountains.

The area was filled with snowballs of all sizes, and colorful ice cube trays strung together with string, hanging in the air like ribbons.

At the innermost part of the depression, there is a snow slide that connects to the cliff above.

After Li Ai sent a message to Qing Tian, ​​the two monster girls appeared from the top of the cliff.

Then they slid down the slide in sitting and lying positions respectively.

Campbell, whose understanding had been overturned, was stunned for a long time before he began to open the book and verify the commission.

Soon, the request for the Snow White Rabbit Beast was fulfilled under the unique capture conditions granted to Love Hunters.

After unloading some vegetables and supplies from the flatbed truck, the rescue team's members, Ailu, began to play to their hearts' content in this place that resembled a snow and ice amusement park.

On the third day of Li Ai's recovery in the hospital, she saw a notification that the two had mastered a combined technique and asked, "Sunny Day, what is the Snowball Rampage move?"

"This move is simple. Zhuge Rabbit first launches a snowball as a feint, and we charge in from behind to collide with it. If the enemy chooses to break the snowball, they won't be able to withstand our onslaught."

"That sounds good."

Li Ai discovered that Qing Tian was quite talented in developing combination techniques.

"How is Zhuge Rabbit's condition?"

"Well... it seems like she doesn't really like it here. All she does every day is push snowballs to relieve her boredom. Whenever a truck or a monster passes by, she goes into the cave to hide."

"She still can't adapt, but we can't go back to the snow mountain... I'll find a way to settle her down."

After Li Ai finished speaking, she walked out of the depression surrounding the mountain and found the investigator Campbell who was recording records outside, and asked him about the situation in the Ice Sea Hunting Area.

"It's an archipelago in the near sea, with giant icebergs that never melt and extend to the sea surface. There are huge icebergs and caves on the islands. It's a desolate and dangerous extreme cold hunting area. Because the guild has very little development, unless there is a need to hunt Kisame or Barioth, very few teams go there."

"Is there another massive landslide on the side of that iceberg?"

Li Ai asked.

"Yes, it's the highest landslide we've explored so far... Li Ai, why are you suddenly interested in the icy sea?"

Campbell was puzzled.

Although it is also an extremely cold region, there are no villages or towns around the Ice Sea Hunting Area that can provide sufficient support for hunting like Bokai Village.

If the team encounters danger, there is a high risk of serious casualties, so whether it is a commission or a host's recommendation, we will try to avoid the icy sea.

"I asked for a friend."

Campbell closed the book and asked solemnly, "So, all monsters can transform into monster girl forms, right?"

"Not necessarily. Some are extremely difficult, and I haven't even tried them."

"Your report includes the concept of self-transformation, and also provides real-world success stories."

Li Ai was somewhat surprised, not expecting that someone would actually read her report, written by a three-star hunter.

"Yes."

"I witnessed the battle between the village and the Bakuro. The combination of the monster's power and the rationality of humans is truly terrifying."

Campbell seemed to have foreseen something, and he lowered his head and sighed in frustration.

Li Ai could also understand the other party.

The mission to subdue the White Rabbit Beast has been accomplished, but the successive appearances of the Roaring Dragon, the Giant Monster Girl, and the mysterious Monster Girl lurking behind the scenes have made Li Ai feel a great threat.

The monster girl concept may seem appealing, but if it were to appear on a large scale in reality, the resulting crisis could far exceed that of any previous generation.

"I know you've already written to the guild to warn them, but I still want to ask, what are the Love Squad's plans for this kind of situation?"

"this..."

Li Ai stroked her chin, lost in thought.

"It's okay if you can't disclose it."

"There's nothing I can't reveal, but I'm still figuring things out. Right now, the approach is to guide and influence the monster girls, trying to prevent them from harming the ecosystem and humans."

"Such a gentle approach. No wonder he's called the Love Hunter. If this really works, that would be wonderful."

Campbell nodded as he spoke, seemingly agreeing with the direction.

"Is the team still short-handed? For example, perhaps a partner investigator?"

When Campbell recommended himself, Li Ai realized that they really needed someone.

For example, the upcoming migration of Zhuge Rabbit requires a professional to plan the route to ensure a safe arrival.

"I have been a resident surveyor in Bokai Village for more than ten years. My current professional title is senior surveyor. I have a thorough understanding of the ecology and geography of all high-altitude and cold regions."

Campbell then began to recommend himself.

"I acknowledge your abilities, but the team's current income doesn't allow it, and there's another issue beyond your professional skills."

"What is it?"

Do you like monsters?

"this..."

Campbell was momentarily speechless when asked the question.

"To be honest, besides being wary, all I feel is hatred for a few friends who died or were maimed by monsters. I joined to guard against them and prevent them from causing harm to the village... I'm really not suited for this."

Campbell himself realized the problem.

His intentions were not wrong, but the team called the Hunter of Love was destined not to accept a member like him.

"But if you keep getting hurt by monster girls, can you still maintain your love for them?"

As Campbell spoke, he looked at Li Ai's bandaged arm.

"It depends on the situation. Besides, a hunter of love is also a hunter."

"I understand. I see you've already come to your senses."

"Even if we can't be partners, we can still post a consultation request and collaborate, right?"

Li Ai immediately inquired about the route for migrating from the snow-capped mountains to the icy sea.

"Did you even consider the White Rabbit Beast's habitat and relocation route...?"

After hearing the description, Campbell realized that he could not become a member of the Love Squad.

Before long, a map of the migration route to the icy sea was drawn up.

When Campbell finished rolling it up and handed it over, he still had doubts about the monster girls, so he asked, "Can the monster girls really feel your help and guidance?"

"Of course."

For example...

"Li Ai! Come quick! I have something to show you!"

At the entrance to the depression, Qing Tian shouted loudly, beckoning Li Ai to come over, and the two returned.

By this time, many snowballs had been pushed to the sides, and three snowmen appeared on the ice.

The rabbit with its left hoof on the ground and arms crossed is Sunny Day; the rabbit with rabbit ears on its right and ice pops in its mouth is Zhuge Rabbit.

The one in the middle with an inverted triangle physique and an extremely muscular hunter-like appearance is naturally Li Ai.

The snow sculpture of the Tigrex has fallen to one side. Zhuge Rabbit and Ailu are still busy working on it and haven't finished yet, but the scene they want to depict is already quite obvious.

Campbell paused for a moment at the sight, then picked up the heavy book and crossed out the first few lines with his pen.

Two days later, Li Ai, who had recovered, got into a truck in the village.

With Erhao, Dawei, and Campbell seeing them off, Li Ai set off on her return journey in the cold wind.

At the same moment, in the desert under the blazing sun.

On the rolling sand dunes, a Tigrex covered in deep wounds crawls at full speed, chasing a blue dot of light on the sand.

Upon hearing the clanging of metal coming from afar, it immediately locked onto the location and turned to run and crawl towards it.

After leaping out of a sand dune, a dragon with bright red carapace and a huge tail blade appeared, its head pointing forward, confronting a monster girl.

Black smoke billowed from the dragon's mouth, and dust was constantly scattered from its tail blade, making it appear extremely terrifying and ferocious.

But the petite monster girl in front of them remained completely unmoved, standing calmly on the sand.

"Boss! Something's happened on the snow mountain!"

The monster girl, named Thunder Dragon, called out from the sand dune and turned her head to the side.

Beneath the spiral-shaped brim of the bone-shell hat was the face of a girl with pale blue skin.

"Hmm~ The Collapse Dragon is already dead, what could possibly happen to the Snow Mountain?"

The girl tilted her head in thought, looking quite puzzled by the information given by the Tigrex monster girl.

Seeing that Zhanlong's attention had completely shifted, he did not let the opportunity slip by.

The tail blade drags along the ground and swings, twisting the body to propel a forward slash.

The spiral-shaped skeletal cap hangs down on both sides, and the arm-thick ribbon-like tentacles now bend upwards like snakes.

After being arranged in an X-shape and overlapping, they point towards the large, sharp tail blade that is about to fall.

Bang!

After a loud hum of metal colliding, a large amount of dust shimmered and fell from the tail blade due to the vibration.

boom!

The explosion sent up thick smoke and flames, quickly engulfing the monster girl.

"Boss... he'll definitely be alright."

The Tigrex Monster Girl was a little worried, but she quickly regained her confidence.

Seeing that a large crater had been blasted into the sand, Zhanlong withdrew his tail blade.

However, it still seemed somewhat wary and had no intention of getting closer.

The furnace sac churned and ruminated, and a large amount of combustible minerals rushed into its mouth, causing thick smoke to billow from the dragon's mouth.

The mineral chewing motion, which was about to be unleashed, was only halfway through when Zhanlong froze.

The powerful impact caused by the ribbon tentacles on the brim of the bone-shell hat, which were simply swung forward, dispersed all the thick smoke.

The small cape made of bone shell and shattered bones was still burning with flames, but the monster girl's dark blue skin still looked very moist.

As for the blue slime that adheres to the surface of the body and rusts the metal shell, it seems to ignore the high temperature and flames, and there is no sign of it heating up or turning red.

The girl smiled slightly, and her mouth stretched into a huge crescent moon shape.

A set of small, uneven, sharp teeth was thus revealed.

"You're a dragon slayer unlike any other, what are your dreams?"

Having roamed the desert without ever encountering an opponent, Zhanlong felt a deep sense of fear when faced with a friendly inquiry.

After a moment's hesitation, he turned and started running.

"Is it a monster without dreams? This is a bit tricky."

The blue tassel ball at the end of one of the tentacle ribbons suddenly opened a crack, making a creaking sound, and then rubbed against the girl's bone shell hat, as if comforting her and giving her confidence.

"Yes, this is our first time doing this, we can't give up."

The girl also raised her hand to touch the tassel ball, her eyes slightly reddening, and her emotions cheered up again.

The Tigrex monster girl behind slid down the sand dune, seemingly not daring to get too close, and stopped after a few dozen meters.

"Roaring Dragon, what's going on at the snow mountain?"

"Well, boss, I failed to persuade the White Rabbit Beast, but it wasn't my fault. Later, that terrifying human came after me, and I almost died."

"Failed again. I told you to eat only a little and you'd be full, did you?"

The girl's tone was displeased.

"Of course, and in order to win her over, I also cleared out the surrounding snow lions and white Velociraptor clans."

"If you keep doing this, humanity will definitely send out powerful beings... Wait, what were you eating when you demonstrated how to eat?"

"A Velociraptor's leg...or perhaps its forepaws?"

The Tigrex monster girl said uncertainly.

"Idiot, you should eat snow mountain grass when facing a rabbit beast."

"I forgot... but she still managed to become human!"

"Achieving it through fear... Wait, doesn't becoming fully human mean we've already succeeded?"

The girl was puzzled.

"Yes, but she was rescued by a human."

Upon hearing this, the scorching sand suddenly fell silent.

Two tentacle ribbons stretched and extended, coiling around the sides of the Tigrex monster girl's body.

She closed her eyes and tensed her body, seemingly extremely unwilling to be touched by the two ribbons.

"Did Thunder Dragon do it willingly?"

"Yes! They even fought alongside that human!"

The monster girl roared and told the truth.

"You didn't get angry, so you bit and ate the other person to death, and then you came to deceive me, did you?"

"No!"

The rumbling monster girl roared in grievance, veins bulging on her forehead.

The rapidly surging blood flow broke through three extremely deep wounds on the body's surface, causing the body to bleed profusely.

swoosh~

The two ribbons quickly retracted to the sides of the hat brim, and the girl sighed.

"I'm sorry, Thunder Dragon. Sometimes I suddenly lose control of myself. You dragged yourself back with serious injuries to tell me what happened. I should have trusted you."

The girl approached, spat out a small amount of blue mucus onto her hand, and began to apply it to the bleeding area.

The mucus quickly hardens, sealing the wound.

"Hmph~"

The monster girl with the thunderous dragon snorted coldly and turned her head away.

"Don't be angry, I'll rub your front paws again, that will speed up the strengthening process."

Watching the girl spitting out slime and constantly stroking her wounded forepaws, the Tigrex monster girl finally broke down in tears.

"Boss Skeleton Dragon! I almost died!"

"Don't rush, no matter how strong humans are, they can't live too long in a lifetime."

As the skeleton dragon spoke, its ribbon-like tentacles rose up, and the tassel ball gently wiped away the other's tears.

"By the way, was that human who took the White Rabbit Beast very powerful?"

When the slime was evenly spread, the skeletal dragon asked a question.

"He was weak, but he was very strange. Not only did he see that my forepaws were vulnerable, but he also had a wild boar help him escape."

"Wild boars assisting humans... I've never seen that before. Does it have any other notable characteristics?"

"Um..."

The Thunder Dragon Monster Girl thought for a moment, then bent down, dipped her front paws into the scorching sand, and swung them slightly.

"This is the shape of the thing he wore on his chest, unlike anything other humans have."

The skeletal dragon looked at the sand and quickly recognized the pattern.

"This is the shape of a human heart."

"Boss, you're really knowledgeable! What does it mean?"

"Represents love."
