Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests!

Chapter 63 Emerging from the Cocoon, Transforming into a Butterfly

The Nergigante spread its wings and soared straight to the sky, tearing apart the clouds along the way. Its jet-black thorns could not even be illuminated by the sunlight. Then it folded its wings and changed its posture.

The moment He turned around, His massive body swooped down, flapping His wings to accelerate faster and faster until He was enveloped in a streak of orange-red flames, and the air crackled as it was rubbed together.

The crater rocks trembled slightly. Before the power of the "Breaking Thorns and Annihilating Heaven" technique had even landed, the trembling air made it difficult for the group of people and the cat to breathe.

"Chen Yan, are we both doomed?"

Hua Miao glanced calmly at the Nergigante crashing down from the sky, then stuffed the last piece of honey-coated dry rations into Chen Yan's mouth.

"Cough cough, I think so."

Upon hearing this, Hua Miao scooped half a piece of dry food out of Chen Yan's mouth and threw it into her own mouth.

"I need to eat something too, I can't just starve like a cat."

Chen Yan sat cross-legged on the ground, the raging wind blowing his hair wildly. He rubbed the cat, and as he stroked it, he pulled out a handful of dried fish from its pocket.

That fat, thieving cat is dishonest; it always hides snacks on its person.

"Ugh, so salty... Nergigante's target is me. You should take Harley and Naomi and run. The farther you go, the safer you'll be."

Hua Miao glanced at Naomi, who had launched a distress flare. A crimson dot exploded in the sky, but the place was still far away, and even if someone saw it, they wouldn't be able to get there in time.

Its trembling claws gripped the knife handle tightly.

"Just kidding, I'm a real male cat, if anyone's going to run away, it's you... Hey, Chen Yan, look who's here!"

Faced with the suddenly agitated Flower Cat, Chen Yan smiled. He did not look in the direction Flower Cat pointed, but instead reached out and blocked the back of his neck, steadily catching the claws that Flower Cat was attacking.

"You..."

The cat chuckled sheepishly and withdrew its paw.

"You figured it out again."

Chen Yan gripped the knife handle tightly and used Hua Miao's support to get up.

"If I manage to get back alive this time, I'm afraid I'll be expelled from the katana guild..."

"Haha, last time you asked me, this time it's my turn to ask you, who taught you the White Blade Dragon Rising Technique?"

Chen Yan and Hua Miao exchanged a smile and then simultaneously gathered their strength. The blades in their hands trembled slightly, and a hazy white light enveloped the blades. However, the white light was so faint that it seemed a gust of wind could blow away this faint light.

The ferocious gaze of Nergigante was already clearly visible. Chen Yan and Hua Miao were fearless. They crouched down, poured all their remaining strength into their blades, and prepared to meet Nergigante's finishing move with a reverse slash.

Until the eyes of the Extinction Dragon suddenly turned to the corner of the battlefield, and it left Chen Yan for the second time.

Chen Yan suddenly shivered. He looked around the battlefield and, sure enough, saw the Xialong that had revealed itself.

Not only did the Chameleon reveal itself, but its body also deliberately emitted a colorful glow, making its intention to attract a certain Nergigante all too obvious.

As expected, Nergigante was attracted by the most delicious food.

Its powerful physique allowed it to slightly adjust its direction when unleashing its finishing move; it abandoned Chen Yan and instead smashed towards Xia Long.

Chen Yan ran towards Xia Long with all his might, but Xia Long seemed to have anticipated this as well, standing on the other side, too far away from Chen Yan.

Xialong stared at Chen Yan, who was running towards her without regard for anything. Many emotions flowed through her eyes, but in the end, they turned into a firm look.

It fixed its eyes on Nergigante and spat out a mouthful of multicolored venom that it had been accumulating for a long time. The venom was so potent that it made the air crackle and pop, but before it could even reach Nergigante, it was swept away by the storm.

The chameleon was unwilling to give up, taking bite after bite, tearing the venom apart time and time again, but gradually connecting into a colorful poisonous mist. The Nergigante charged into the sky full of poisonous mist, but the poisonous mist that could instantly kill large monsters had no effect on it at all.

Having exhausted all other options, Xia Long turned her gaze back to Chen Yan, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Flower Cat! Help me!"

Chen Yan roared, and Hua Miao released the knife with a bang, letting out a heart-wrenching meow.

It ran with all its might, its limbs almost giving it its all, and even its tail turned into a propeller. The cat car exhausted all its strength, and then the heavy cat car crashed hard into Chen Yan's back.

Its fat has finally come in handy.

The force of the impact sent Chen Yan flying.

To Xialong's astonishment, he gripped his sword and brazenly charged between Nergigante and Xialong.

He first looked at the dragon beneath him, his tone still gentle.

"You, you still haven't listened to me."

Xia Long's eyes darted around, pretending not to understand.

Chen Yan looked at the Extinction Dragon again, and could only say five words to it.

"Flying Blade! Rock-Splitting Slash!"

This time, what was wrapped around the blade was no longer flames, but blood.

Chen Yan's life-risking strike landed on the claws of the Annihilation Dragon, the blow penetrating deep enough to see bone.

But that's how it is.

After the blade light dissipated, he took a full hit from Nergigante's Thorn Nergigante Whirlwind.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed to the ground. The Xialong spread its broken wings and charged forward without regard for anything else. It tightly protected Chen Yan in its arms. The two of them were slammed into the ground by the irresistible force. The entire volcano roared and then began to crumble and collapse.

Suddenly, an extremely dazzling ball of light appeared in his mind.

[Ao Tu Na issues a mission request: It seems like an old friend has come.]

[You and Xialong fought side by side, your unwavering belief and actions in protecting each other reminded this great being of His former adversary, the one who, together with the fire dragon, nearly killed Him.]

[Commission Fee: ? ? ? / ? ? ? / ? ? ? / ? ? ? / Emerging from the cocoon, transforming into a butterfly / ? ? ? / ? ? ? / ? ? ? / ? ? / ? ? ? / ? ? ?]

[Task completed.]

【Breaking out of the cocoon and transforming into a butterfly】: When you and your companions suffer fatal damage, you will sacrifice a certain amount of lifespan to ignore the damage. You can choose to start over and be reborn.

Buried deep underground, the unconscious Chen Yan and Xia Long were enveloped in a hazy glow.

Completely unaware that a miracle of life was unfolding, the Nergigante hovered in mid-air, letting out a triumphant roar to declare its victory.

Until a streak of light swirling in the sky landed on him and gently patted his forehead.

Are there more experts?

The Nergigante roared and charged forward with great momentum, but half a second later it crashed to the ground. In that short half second, it suffered unimaginable damage.

For the first time, fear and dread tinged the all-seeing gaze of the Extinction Dragon.

He no longer cared about Xialong and Chen Yan, and limped down the mountain to some remote corner. But as soon as he stumbled down the slope, he saw someone standing quietly in front of him.

Azure Star put down Harley, Naomi, and Flower Cat, who had already fainted, and for the first time, anger appeared in her usually calm eyes.

He drew his sword.

Heaven and earth trembled.
