Surrounded by flames and smoke, a flare signaling the completion of the retreat was fired into the sky, giving the girl in the distance permission to defeat the target.
Before leaving, Finn and Ais had an agreement that after making the clan members move away from this direction, he would send a signal to inform them, and then she would do her best to defeat the monster in front of her.
And now, the signal has arrived.
Since the beginning of the battle, the girl who had been deliberately slowing down and guiding the enemy's movements untied the shackles, and unprecedented speed and violence descended here.
Like a golden flash, the petite body wrapped in the mist rushed across the land.
In a flash, the legs of the worm supporting one side of the giant monster were all broken, and corrosive liquid gushed out from the wound, burning the ground into foul-smelling purple hot mud.
And the flashes did not stop.
Her long golden hair fluttered in the wind. At the moment when the monster lost its balance and fell due to the loss of one leg, Aisi had already come behind the monster. Her small jade feet wrapped in long boots pushed the ground hard, and Flash jumped over the tall obstacle and came to the top of the monster's ugly belly.
Then, as if it realized that the enemy was behind it, the tube on the back of the monster's head waved and sprayed corrosive liquid, trying to drive the enemy off.
But to no avail.
The indestructible weapon wrapped in wind split the jet of corrosive liquid, shredding the tubes growing on the back of the head. The girl who attacked with the wind wrapped around her arrived in front of her target in an instant.
The sword flashed,
In an instant, the flat arm-like organs on the monster's body fell off like petals, and the half-human female figure growing on the ugly insect let out a sharp scream of pain, but the next moment, the horizontal sword edge cut off her head, and then, the chest part was torn into pieces by countless sword lights.
The next moment, a huge amount of corrosive liquid gushed out from the wound. Aisi lightly crossed the spring of corrosive liquid and landed right in front of the monster with a light "dong" sound, frowning slightly.
Not dead yet.
The girl puffed up her cheeks and looked at the humanoid part of the monster that she had cut into pieces.
Her attack just now was aimed at the possible existence of magic stone, but now it seems that the opponent's magic stone does not exist in the human-like part, but is located in the insect body further down.
The half-human, half-insect monster was now only half-insect. The human-shaped part had been almost completely cut off by the sword, leaving only a section connected to the insect body. It was still twisting along with the painfully twisted insect body, spraying corrosive liquid indiscriminately outwards.
Then, somehow, the twisting insect body touched the colorful scales, and the scales reflecting the bright colors slowly rose up, causing an indiscriminate explosion that wrapped the already bruised insect body.
Amid the rumbling sounds of the continuous explosions, the insect's body twisted more and more painfully, and at the same time, a large amount of black smoke came out as if it was burnt.
Let's solve it next.
Ais raised her beloved sword, and the mist wrapped around her body suddenly spun violently, connecting her and the weapon into one.
Concentrate and reach the top.
“—Miss Ais! You can increase the power of your special move by calling out its name—!”
The deception of the Lord God came to mind.
The girl who was deceived by the Lord God opened her lips and uttered the name of the unique skill.
"Micro gusts."
Chapter 48: Don’t mind your own business with dragon people
"This is Jieyun Village... the scenery is so beautiful."
After two days of long journey, Lieyan arrived at the destination and stopped to admire the beautiful scenery that he saw for the first time.
It is autumn now, and the red leaves adorning the famous hot springs in Jieyun Village are at their most beautiful.
The gurgling water flows like a green jade belt, and the red-leaf maple trees scattered on the mountain peaks paint the mountain peaks red.
The red leaves on the ancient maple tree in the village, which has been growing for who knows how many years, cover the sky. Combined with the misty hot springs and the sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves, the peculiar buildings in Jieyun Village look like a fairyland.
No wonder Jieyun Village has become a famous tourist destination in mainland China.
These mountains, these waters, these trees,
So fucking beautiful.
Like a country bumpkin entering the city, Lieyan looked around at the surrounding scenery, followed the gate, and led the cat and dog into Jieyun Village.
Surrounded by the beautiful scenery, the feeling of entering a fairyland reappears.
As if she had received the news in advance, at the entrance of Jieyun Village, a [young-looking] but [age unknown] Dragon Girl, wearing a light-colored kimono, with her hair piled up high like a geisha, revealing her slender neck, and a maple leaf shawl wrapped around her arms, had already been waiting there quietly.
When Zhiyun, the village chief of Jieyun Village, saw Lieyan, who was wearing heavy armor, enter Jieyun Village, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"You must be Mr. Lieyan from Yanhuo Village. I am Zhiyun, the village chief of Jieyun Village. Thank you for your hard work in coming from afar."
Zhiyun, who looked like a character from a Ukiyo-e painting come to life, had a small fan in her hand and bowed slightly to Lieyan.
To be honest, it's not me who's working hard, it's my dog...but it doesn't seem to make much difference.
But then again, where did that little fan come from?
Uh, forget it. It’s better to stay out of the dragon people’s affairs.
"Hello, I am Lieyan from Yanhuo Village."
Lieyan returned the greeting politely. He wanted to avoid losing face for Yanhuo Village when he was away from home.
"Hehe, actually you don't need to introduce yourself. After all, the name of Mr. Lieyan, the genius of Yanhuo Village, has long been known in Jieyun Village, which is not far away from Yanhuo Village. His deeds of successfully becoming a high-ranking hunter in just over half a year have almost spread throughout the continent recently."
Zhiyun, who covered half of her face with a small fan, said with a smile,
"I'm not even close yet."
Faced with the flattery, Lieyan's expression did not change at all, he remained very calm. People outside only knew that he upgraded quickly, but had no idea that he was the worst hunter in the village.
"You are so modest. Then please follow me. The guest room is ready. Shuiyun should have told you about the reward for the mission. After completing the mission, Mr. Lieyan, you can have a good rest in Jieyun Village."
Zhiyun extended her hand and walked towards the largest building in the village. Then, as if she had thought of something, she spoke again:
"By the way, Mr. Lieyan, let me confirm, are you planning to capture the rock dragon alone this time, or are you going to go with those partners from another world that Shuiyun mentioned? If so, should I change the guest room I gave you to a larger one?"
Water Yun? ? ? ! !
What the hell did you tell others?!
Can you just talk about time traveler casually...?
Wait a minute, coming to the point, time travel doesn’t seem to be uncommon in the Monster Hunter world, and there even seems to be a set of professional procedures... ?
Moreover, a few days ago, he heard from the guild that demon hunters from another world had appeared in the New World. For this reason, Emperor Cang Tian even suppressed an entire forest by himself and brought back a lot of fresh ingredients for the resident cat chef...
……,……
Okay, that's it. I'm tired. I'd rather not meddle in the dragon people's affairs.
By the way, the fact that I can open the door to find time travelers, it is not possible that the whole continent... even the guilds in the New World know about it...
Lieyan sighed in self-abandonment and said:
"I'm probably the only one here right now, but my friend over there should come over if nothing goes wrong. If possible, can you wait until the potential candidate is found before assigning a room?"
Everyone in the clan is still on the expedition. Currently, only Loki and a few unnamed people are left to guard. To put it bluntly, they can only invite Loki to come here.
Given Loki's curiosity, she would most likely not refuse this free trip.
The premise is that Loki stays in the clan obediently today and does not go out.
"No problem." Zhiyun nodded generously, "Because of the Yanlong issue, the guests who were supposed to come by land have switched to arriving at Jieyun Village by water, but the carrying capacity of the waterway is limited. Although this is the peak tourist season, the originally full guest rooms are a little sluggish, so there is no problem in leaving three or four rooms vacant.
Of course, these rooms are also included in the mission's reward."
You are a good person, boss lady.
It's decided. If Loki offends you at that time, I will use my iron fist to launch a holy judgment.
"Greatful."
The feeling of flame comes from the heart.
"No, no, if Mr. Lieyan and his friends can capture the rock dragon soon, Jieyun Village can return to its previous state soon. It's just a few guest rooms, which is nothing. Now we are here. This is the hot spring hotel I manage, Maple Leaf Pavilion."
After a pleasant conversation, Zhiyun and Lieyan arrived at the door of the hotel.
Lieyan looked at the hotel's decoration, pondered for a moment, and said slowly:
“This decoration reminds me of…”
"A meeting place, right?"
As if she had guessed what Lieyan wanted to say, Zhiyun smiled and gave a direct answer to the question.
"The inn I manage is not only the largest hot spring inn in the village that caters to tourists, but it is also a branch of the guild, responsible for receiving hunters. In addition, some medicinal drinks specifically for hunters can only be purchased here."
"The same structure is actually very common in the guild. Isn't it the same in Flame Village? There is a store selling dumplings, and in the New World, there is a restaurant."
Can this be the same!
Whether it's dumplings or cat rice, they're all food! And it's obviously a part-time job, the main job is still a gathering place, but boss lady, your main job is obviously running a hot spring hotel, and the part-time job is a gathering place! !
Huh? What did you say?
There are no permanent dedicated hunters in Jieyun Village, so the gathering place is indeed a part-time job...
amount……
Well, there's nothing wrong with that...
As expected, it’s better to stay out of the dragon people’s business.
Chapter 49: Come to the hot springs, the kind where you fight monsters
Should we say that Maple Leaf Pavilion is worthy of being the largest hot spring hotel in the entire Jieyun Village?
The guest room was obviously carefully decorated, as if one had entered some place in an anime. The entire room was approximately 100 square meters in size, and the part near the wall was piled with bedding, including quilts and pillows in large quantities enough for a dozen people to hold two at a time and have a pillow fight.
Opposite the sliding wooden door is a corridor that extends to the outside scenery.
The cobblestone path meanders all the way to a small pond. It is worthy of being a hot spring hotel. Even the small pond is filled with wisps of hot air. The red leaves of the maple trees planted beside the pond sway slowly in the breeze. Occasionally, a red leaf falls into the pond and then flows away along the water.
The Japanese-style buildings appear particularly harmonious in this scenery, as if they have blended into one, becoming a part of the beautiful painting, perfectly formed by nature.
"Just looking at this scenery is enough to heal my heart. This tourist destination is really well-deserved."
"That's right, meow. If I confess my love to a beautiful female in this environment, I will definitely be able to get rid of being single, meow."
Lieyan couldn't help but sigh, and Elu beside him also looked intoxicated, but it was a pity that his remarks were a bit dangerous.
