Monster Hunter Monster Girl Story

0049 The Chase

"Do you still have a strong impression of the previous attempts to make contact?"

Since Zhuge Tu was able to express himself, Li Ai felt that there might be some other information.

"It was very deep. She was holding a lump of bloody flesh in her claws and told me that I would be full after eating just a little bit. She didn't care at all. I was so scared that I was shaking."

Zhuge Tu said with lingering fear, stuffing a piece of crushed ice into her little mouth.

"Has that leader ever appeared in the snowy mountains before?"

"I've been here before."

"Have you ever seen what she looks like?"

"Hmm~ No, I just heard Honglong mention it... Hmm~ She met the boss in the snowy mountains."

Zhuge Rabbit took out the crushed ice, sucked on it for a long time, and only ate a small piece, revealing two incisors, and smiled sweetly.

Click~

Zhuge Rabbit tapped the snow cake and found that he could only eat a small half of it in one bite, and his eyes crinkled with laughter.

"Lone Wolf said that person came from the dense forest, while Thunder Dragon said they met in the snowy mountains. The difference in their ecological environments is too great... Did she say what she came here for?"

Li Ai continued to ask questions.

"They didn't say, but during that period, the snow-capped mountain was indeed missing something compared to before."

"What is it?"

Li Ai believes that if the needs are understood, the monster's identity can be deduced.

"That thing is at the top of the snow mountain. I don't know what it is. Every time I get close, I feel a chill. But after trying to get close to it many times and finding that it is just an inanimate object, I am not so afraid anymore."

"The top of the snow-capped mountain? Isn't that a high-risk area, Zhuge Rabbit?"

Sunny day expresses curiosity.

"Hehe, it is dangerous, but the higher the terrain, the bigger the snowball that rolls down. Sometimes I can't resist going there."

"You mean an inanimate object? It can't be a cold, rusty empty shell, can it?"

Upon hearing Li Ai's words, a pair of rabbit ears suddenly stood up.

"It's that one, I didn't even know how to describe it! Oh, you know about it too!"

"What the heck is that, meow!"

Kabu's curiosity was now uncontrollable.

"That's the rusty shell of a Steel Dragon... But what kind of monster would recycle something like that?"

In Li Ai's memory, there was no one who would collect monster molts.

"Her behavior is getting weirder and weirder the more you look at it."

"Um...can I ask you a question?"

Zhuge Rabbit raised its furry rabbit paw and shook it.

"Ask away."

"Why do you all call yourselves Zhuge Rabbits?"

"The meaning is roughly that it's a white rabbit beast that doesn't rely on brute force to win, but rather uses its wisdom. If you don't like it, you can choose another one."

"That's me! No need to change it."

After learning the meaning, Zhuge Tu accepted the name.

The next team then discussed how to get rid of the Tigrex.

After the hunt for the Umbralid, the entire ecosystem became relatively stable.

The Pokai Village Guild now has more resources to deal with the Tigrex, the top predator in the snowy mountains.

So for now, we can get support as long as we reach the foot of the mountain.

"If you're pulling the vehicle down the mountain, you must control your speed carefully on a sunny day and try your best not to overturn... Kabu, the rescue team members need to secure themselves. If they get too excited while speeding, it could be disastrous if they fall."

"I have two suggestions."

Zhuge Rabbit raises its paw.

Both Qingtian and Kabu were somewhat surprised, since in the past, when making deployments, they only needed to listen to Li Ai and then do as she said.

"Please speak."

"When pulling the bike downhill, I can glide very fast along the ground and turn very smoothly. It's just that my endurance is a bit lacking, but if necessary, I can replace Qingtian."

Zhuge Rabbit took a breath and then patted his bulging belly.

"Uh... my belly isn't this flat after I turn into a white rabbit beast."

"I understand, your idea is good, but you need to do some intensive training on transformation and cart-pulling skills... I'll leave it to you, Sunny."

"Alright, Zhuge Tu is so smart, he'll definitely master it quickly."

Full of confidence on a sunny day.

"Also... if I really can't escape, I can actually give up on myself. As long as I'm willing to submit, the Tigrex might not kill me."

Zhuge Tu sighed.

"How can you say such a thing? Since we've turned you into a monster girl, we'll never give up on you."

Sunny couldn't understand why the other person was so pessimistic.

"Sunny day, you weren't in the snowy mountains, so you don't know how powerful the Thunder Dragon is, especially since it's already turned into a monster girl."

"Don't worry, Li Ai won't let that happen."

"Understood. If that happens, the team will continue to escape."

After Li Ai made her statement, Qing Tian looked incredulous.

"There's no other way; this is the decision we have to make in the worst-case scenario."

If the Thunder Dragon Monster Girl catches up with Zhuge Rabbit, she is unlikely to be killed if she is willing to submit.

If any team member is caught, the other side is determined not to let any of them go.

Although Qingtian felt disappointed, she had no choice but to do her best to teach the other person how to transform and pull the cart.

By noon, the wailing had stopped, and the whole place was eerily quiet.

Zhuge Rabbit pushed aside the snowball blocking the crack, and the entire team tiptoed out of the hole.

Li Ai led the cats to lie low on a high place and observe from a distance.

The scene of blood everywhere she had imagined did not materialize, but Li Ai still felt a sweet, metallic scent of blood in the air.

Before long, two figures, one large and one small, appeared on the snow.

In comparison, the petite one is the Tigrex monster girl.

The one next to her, half a head taller and covered in thick, dark red fur, was a large monster girl unlike any she had ever seen before.

The thick, long fur, like a cotton hat, hung down from the top of the head, covering half of the other person's face.

Because her fur is so thick, the only features that confirm she is a monster girl rather than a human are the disc-shaped frontal bone protruding from her forehead and the two curved little tusks sticking out of her mouth.

"These aren't just ordinary behemoths, they're two Silver Ridge behemoths... She and the Thunder Dragon are sworn enemies, how come they're traveling together?"

To ensure their offspring could grow and survive, the giant beasts mixed them into the Bobo swarm.

Because the Tigrex frequently hunted Popo swarms, it became the giant beast's number one mortal enemy.

Li Ai never imagined that these two monster girls would travel together.

The monster girl raised her arm and rubbed it against the giant beast's thick fur, as if trying to remove the frozen bloodstains.

The giant beast's expression was obscured, but its body was constantly moving away, as if it were extremely disgusted.

The monster girl with the throbbing dragon curled her long, narrow lips into a wicked grin, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and then rubbed against it even harder.

The two then arrived at a hillside. The giant monster girl stood guard without exchanging any words, while the rumbling dragon monster girl climbed to the top in a few quick movements and began to look around.

After searching for a long time without finding any trace, the Tigrex monster girl seemed to lose patience, lay down on all fours, and let out a loud shout.

"White Rabbit Beast! I know you're nearby! Come out right now!"

The loud voice echoed through the mountains, creating a series of reverberations.

Zhuge Rabbit below suddenly shuddered, but this time it was different from before. Not only was she sucking on crushed ice, but her good friend Qingtian was also holding her hand tightly.

Zhuge Tu's fear and trembling quickly subsided.

The Thunder Dragon Monster Girl roared a few more times, and seeing that the White Rabbit Beast still hadn't appeared, she raised her paw and slammed it against the snow slope.

As the permafrost cracked, large amounts of snow slid downwards.

The towering monster girl at the bottom was covered in snow, and rocks kept falling on her, but she still stood there without caring.

"I've done everything I could, but you've gone into hiding again. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The Thunder Dragon Monster Girl leaped off the ground, stretching her limbs in mid-air and assuming a gliding posture.

Then a blue light emerged from its body, and its size immediately increased, transforming it into a Tigrex with blue scales on its arms.

The blue substance mixed with herbs that originally covered the surface of his arms was completely torn apart into fragments, exposing numerous bloody lacerations.

"Her incredibly tough forearms, derived from abnormal growths in her forelimbs, and clearly there aren't any monsters in the snowy mountains that could harm her..."

Upon seeing the monster's form, Li Ai quickly noticed the anomaly.

The originally narrow wing membranes of the Thunder Dragon's arms have now expanded and enlarged, allowing it to glide with the wind.

Boom!

The thunder dragon crashed heavily onto the snow, kicking up a thick layer of snow mist.

Before the light had completely dissipated, a red glow shone from the top of his head, and the bulging veins were already clearly visible.

Hey!

After a roar, it began to crawl rapidly on all fours, exploring the area.

"Thankfully, it's not this way."

Just as Li Ai said something with relief, the silent giant monster girl began to move and explore in the completely opposite direction.

"The behemoth was originally docile, and this is not her territory. But since she has been recruited by that lord and can accompany her mortal enemy, the Thunder Dragon, it is best not to make contact with her."

After analyzing the situation, Li Ai felt that even if they fled now, they might be detected by the giant monster girl, but even if she transformed into a monster, her enormous size would make it unsuitable for a pursuit.

Once the Tigrex finds them nearby, the team will have no chance to maneuver.

"Kabu! Tell everyone to get on the bus and let's go!"

After Li Ai finished speaking, she lifted the white camouflage net, stood up abruptly, and stopped caring about concealment.

Upon seeing this, Qingtian quickly harnessed the reins and transformed.

After a series of hoofbeats, the flatbed cart pulled by the wild boar began to speed across the snow.

The rescue team members wanted to shout because of the high-speed chase, but for the safety of the team, each of them tightly covered their mouths with their two paws.

However, the problem is that the snow-capped mountain is still too quiet after the other monsters have been driven away.

The sound of hooves and the snow spray kicked up by their rapid movement were quickly noticed by the giant monster girl.

Its eyes, obscured by thick, hanging red down, moved sideways little by little as the truck moved forward.

The giant monster girl watched the flatbed cart speed away for a moment before taking a step to catch up.

His tall stature, coupled with his seemingly slowed running movements, gave him a somewhat clumsy appearance.

Each step sank deep into the snow, so heavy it felt as if it would also pierce through the frozen ground beneath the snow.

However, despite its seemingly cumbersome movement, the actual speed was not slow at all, so much so that it took a long time for them to escape each other's sight.

"Sunny day, faster!"

As soon as Li Ai finished speaking, the flatbed cart began to shake violently.

Just as the other party disappeared from the snow behind them, before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, a huge creature resembling a mammoth and as large as a small mountain suddenly appeared out of thin air.

With a roar, the elephant raised its trunk, followed by a heavy stomp that seemed to shake the entire snow-capped mountain.

"Ahhh!"

The cats on the bus began to cry out in fear.

Li Ai gripped the railing tightly with one hand to prevent falling, while with the other hand she drew her sword and slashed, shattering the falling frozen soil and icicles.

Zhuge Rabbit caught the ice crystals, hugged them tightly, and threw them forward to break the blockage they created, allowing Qing Tian to move forward as smoothly as possible.

Upon reaching the downhill section, Qingtian, who was pulling the cart, leaped into the air, using the momentum to sprint for a full twenty meters before landing and continuing his run.

Faced with the downhill terrain, the giant beast slowed its pursuit.

Realizing that it had no chance of catching up, the giant beast transformed into a monster girl and moved to the side to make way.

Before long, the sound of thunder dragons pounding their feet came from behind.

Clearly, the fact that the giant beast transformed and caused such a loud noise indicates that something new has happened here.

The behemoth did not speak; it simply pointed to the slope below.

The dragon leaped up, crashed down the slope, and continued its ascent.

Sensing the footsteps approaching the slope, Li Ai shouted, "SOS flare!"

Kabu picked up a gun and fired it into the sky.

Aside from the cats' exclamations of surprise at the high speed, Li Ai and Zhuge Tu remained silent.

The speed at which the Tigrex pursued and reacted far exceeded expectations.

At the same time, the giant monster girl who suddenly appeared to assist the other side was not in the original plan at all.

Although we are currently descending the mountain at full speed, given the distance required, it is highly likely that we will be overtaken before we reach the foot of the mountain.

"Let me down before she catches up."

Zhuge Tu calmly offered his suggestion.

"Are you really willing to give up now?"

"There's nothing we can do about it, no matter how we feel. That's just how the ecosystem is. The strong always rule everything. No matter how many strategies we have, they won't work against a monster like the Tigrex."

Zhuge Tu lowered his eyes with redness and sighed.

"Actually, there's another chance you can try."

"There's still a chance... what's that smoking thing?"

"Hibiscus King"

After Li Ai finished speaking, she put two more pieces of chewing gum into her mouth.

Then he took out two cans of Green Bull energy drink and gave one to Zhuge Rabbit.

"Listen to me, Zhuge Rabbit, this is probably the weakest stage of that Tigrex, except for its cub stage."

"Tigrex...when it was at its weakest?"

Zhuge Rabbit didn't quite understand how these two words were combined.

"The Thunder Dragon said that the boss was accelerating her transformation into the Wild Claw by repeatedly disrupting the healing process, but before it was fully formed, the claw was quite fragile."

As Li Ai spoke, she picked up Zhuge Rabbit's paw.

"When you were a white rabbit, why were you able to climb, grip the ground, and stop suddenly with such ease?"

"Well... because I have claws!"

The white rabbit clenched its paws twice, seemingly understanding something: "If we cut off her fragile claw tips, she won't be able to run and crawl freely anymore! Her chasing speed will also slow down... But this isn't something a human man can do so casually, is it?"

"Ordinary humans can't do that, but I, Li Ai, am a hunter of love."

"But what if we fail?"

Zhuge Tu asked nervously.

"Then please plead for me more."

"what?"

Zhuge Tu did not expect Li Ai to give such a response.

"Just kidding. There was once a hunter from Pokai Village who was attacked by a Tigrex but managed to escape alive. If it really came down to that, I think I could do it too."

As Li Ai spoke, she looked at the cliff on the side of the slope.
