0021 The Great Bird Sheep Kuku
Although the two jungles are separated by only a bumpy road, they seem like different worlds.
After the blue Velocidrome scattered and fled, the scene instantly became quiet.
All Li Ai could hear was his own breathing and the high-frequency claw strikes of the Blue Velociraptor.
As the vegetation grew more lush, it became impossible to keep a consistent view of the target.
Li Ai ran a few steps, took a colored ball from the prop shoulder strap, and threw it with a swing of her arm.
The dye ball hit the Velociraptor's tail and stuck to it, releasing wisps of pale pink fragrance.
Normally, the Blue Velocidrome would not tolerate humans throwing such things at it, but its fear of the Black Wolf Bird had not yet subsided, and it still fled.
Li Ai took out her phone and sent her location.
Previously, he might have worried that the team might not be able to arrive in time.
But after riding the Grass Express, he felt that catching up with himself wouldn't be a big problem.
Tap tap~
Emerging from the bushes, the Blue Velociraptor arrived at a clearing in the forest.
Its head was tilted and drooling, and saliva was overflowing from its long, thin beak, making it look very tired.
After a long journey, Li Ai was also panting heavily, but there was no time to rest. So he used another round of power-up items and then rushed out from behind the bushes.
After briefly observing Li Ai, the Blue Velociraptor King craned its neck to survey its surroundings. Confirming that there were no other threats, it roared fiercely to intimidate its companions.
Besides being larger in size, the Blue Velocidrome also has a wealth of combat experience.
Li Ai did not rush to attack, but instead used his shield to defend and maneuver.
Clang! Clang! ...
Like the slender claws of a steel shovel, it constantly lashed and smashed against the shield.
With his current physical strength, he can't hold out for more than a few hits while standing still.
Using Professor Seneca's technique, Li Ai seized the opportunity while the sharp claws were still poised to strike, and slightly pushed the shield forward to collide with them.
This will greatly reduce the impact of claw-like attacks.
But this requires a very deep understanding of the monster's behavior.
Fortunately, the monster with the most combat experience for Li Ai, and the monster that the training equipment in the village imitated, were both Blue Velociraptors.
Seeing that its claw attacks failed to break through the small shield, the Velocidrome turned around and switched to a tail sweep.
Both involve shield defense, but the defensive methods differ depending on the specific move.
Li Ai turned to the side, slightly raising the shield to withstand the tail-whipping impact, and then delivered a slash with his one-handed sword, Serpent's Bite.
The blade with red spikes sliced across the tail, splattering a drop of blood.
Feeling the pain, the Blue Velocidrome wanted to continue whipping its tail to straighten its body, but its two claws suddenly tripped, causing it to lose its balance and move several steps to the side before regaining its balance.
At that moment, a wisp of smoke drifted by, and Li Ai, with smoke billowing from his mouth, shouted as a snake bit his neck.
baah~
Blood and a small amount of scales and keratin were spilled on the top of the head.
The anticipated scene of the Black Wolf Bird monster girl slicing her throat and instantly killing her did not occur. Li Ai quickly drew her sword, raised her shield, and slowly retreated.
"It's too idealistic to expect to unleash a one-hit kill spinning slash like the one-eared dragon. The physical strength and weapon sharpness are still far from sufficient. However, the fatigue state has indeed had a significant impact on the Blue Velociraptor."
The Velocidrome's claws were not injured, and its tail sweep was not a high-difficulty move.
The reason it lost its balance was simply because it hadn't had a proper rest after its long escape.
Although Li Ai saw the opportunity and seized it, he was not strong enough to inflict serious damage.
The two sides then began a standoff, and the Velocidrome no longer dared to attack rashly.
Before long, two blue Velociraptors emerged from the bushes.
Ouch~
The Blue Velocidrome immediately let out a triumphant roar.
"So you have a partner? What a coincidence, I have one too."
As Li Ai spoke, he raised his sword and poked it into the jungle behind him, where the sound of rolling wheels could be heard.
"Help, meow!"
"Li Ai, where are you?!"
The urgent shouts made Li Ai nervous, but he really couldn't think of any monster in the area that would be chasing the truck.
"Oh no, if we get caught in a pincer movement, we're doomed."
If we hadn't fought the Velocidrome just now, it wouldn't have gotten involved because the situation wasn't clear.
Now it's different. As soon as chaos breaks out, they will inevitably launch an attack once they find an opportunity.
Whoosh~
The leaves burst open, and the flatbed cart pulled by the green grass flew out.
Then a large, strange bird, swaying its head from side to side, followed closely behind.
The grass didn't dare hesitate; as soon as it saw an open space, it made a sharp turn.
Qingtian and the emergency team members were jolted into the air, barely managing to hold on to avoid falling.
A blue Velocidrome was unable to dodge in time and was knocked away by the grass headbutt.
The giant bird missed its target and landed flat on the ground.
Both Li Ai and Blue Velociraptor were momentarily stunned by the scene.
"This big-headed bird keeps chasing us! Li Ai, you need to think of something quick!"
Shout loudly on a sunny day.
"She would chase after the flatbed cart..."
Just as Li Ai was feeling puzzled, she noticed a familiar collision sound from behind the car.
Peeking out, I saw two shield beetles, suspended in a vine net, violently colliding with each other as the truck jolted along, making a crackling sound.
"Who gave you permission to hang those two balls behind the car!"
"They're alive! And isn't this the solution you came up with!"
As Sunny responded loudly, another Velociraptor was unable to dodge in time and was knocked away by Grass.
"Hurry up and throw it to me!"
The rescue team members immediately grabbed each other, forming a sturdy "cat bridge." Buka climbed up amidst the violent jolts, gripped the vine net with her paws, and threw it towards Li Ai.
The giant bird leaned back, its claws slamming into the ground, and with its wings fully extended, it made a sudden stop before looking at Li Ai.
Li Ai sheathed his sword, picked up the vine net, and charged towards the Blue Velociraptor King.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Blue Velocidrome turned around and ran away.
"Sunny Day! Grass! Use the Fusion Move on the Blue Velocidrome! Pig Dragon Charge!"
Li Ai only created two frameworks for the monster girl's combo skill system.
One is a bond skill activated together with the Love Hunter, and the other is a combination skill between monster girls.
Without the limitations and constraints of games, more moves can be developed.
When Qingtian jumped off the car, he transformed into a wild boar and ran wildly upon landing. Seeing this, Qingcao also unleashed his full power.
A pig and a dragon quickly approached the Blue Velociraptor King from the left and right sides.
"Kabu! Jump out of the car with the ambulance team!"
"The rescue team members aren't just trained cat companions who can fight monsters head-on," Li Ai called out, reminding them.
"No way, meow!"
"What's wrong? Is it too fast?"
"We're using a combination technique, meow! How can we escape so easily!"
"you..."
Li Ai was speechless.
He noticed that ever since the rescue team discovered the flatbed cart that could be pulled by grass and travel at high speeds, the cats' behavior had become increasingly strange.
As the grass and the clear sky drew close, they simultaneously swung their heads and bumped into each other.
The charging Velocidrome lost its balance upon impact and tumbled to the ground.
Li Ai didn't rush to swing the slash. Instead, he took the rattan net bag from his waistband, wrapped his arm around the struggling tail, and tied it to the net.
Just as the Blue Velociraptor was about to get up, the giant bird's beak, as heavy as a hammer, slammed down from above.
After being struck hard on the back, the Blue Velociraptor crawled forward two steps with its head down, but before it could even stand up, it was knocked down by the giant bird's chariot.
Thud! Thud!...Pfft!
With repeated pecking, blood splattered, making the scene particularly gruesome.
The squad had already hidden in the bushes and were observing quietly.
Soon the Blue Velocidrome's mournful cries ceased, leaving only the sound of the Great Jaggi pecking at the Shield Bug.
"You all evacuate first, and make sure to move quietly."
Li Ai gave the instructions.
"And what about you?"
Sunny asked curiously.
"Investigator Grave is unable to arrive immediately to verify the commission, so the body needs to be guarded. Also, I'd like to try to capture the giant bird monster girl."
Li Ai had observed and even taken photos of this strange bird just at noon.
It was immediately recognizable as the overly excited individual. Most importantly, the One-Eared Black Wolf Bird was currently preoccupied with its own problems, and although it wasn't fully prepared, it was still an excellent opportunity.
"By the way, I need an Artemis as a partner. I'll give 500 z to whoever is willing to keep her."
For these semi-wild Ailu in the rescue team, 500z is enough to buy a lot of necessities in areas like the outposts, which is definitely not a small amount.
"I'm coming, meow!"
Kabu raises his paw.
After the flatbed cart was slowly pushed away, it quickly entered high-speed mode.
The giant bird possesses excellent hearing, but even if it sensed something, it didn't give chase, since neither the flatbed truck nor the herbivorous dragon held any appeal for it.
Hidden in the bushes, Kabu listened to the plan and found it utterly perplexing.
"Is this all it takes to get 500z, meow?"
"Yes, but if things turn bad, we can just split up and run away. She won't chase you."
"Okay, I'm ready, meow."
A person and a cat swaggered out from the bushes.
Seeing this, the giant bird shifted its body to the side, blocking the two carcass beetles whose shells had been pecked apart, and then continued pecking at them.
Thump~ Splash~ Gurgle~
AD calcium milk, Dayi chewing gum, instant noodles, Pure Draft beer bottles...
Various strange objects were thrown in front of them through the gaps between their two claws.
The giant bird turned its head and looked back, only to see a person and a cat looking up at the sky, seemingly unaware of who had lost these things.
The giant bird continued pecking, and as the bottle and packaging shattered, it soon tasted a variety of flavors, some sweet and some spicy.
However, the other party was not interested in this kind of taste.
After eating the first shield beetle, it simply turned around and moved to a clean patch of grass before spitting out the ball-shaped second shield beetle.
"Not interested at all... then we'll have to resort to another strategy."
As Li Ai spoke, she clicked on her phone and claimed two boxes of two-star premium item luncheon meat.
After giving Cappuccino a box, the two of them opened the lid at the same time and started eating.
"Ahem!"
Seeing that her luncheon meat was almost gone, Li Ai coughed twice.
The giant bird turned its head in confusion.
With shield worms in front of the other party, Li Ai wasn't sure how long their attention would stay on her, so she could only raise her voice to attract their attention.
"This luncheon meat tastes really good, but it's a shame there's so little of it. It was gone in just a few bites! Sigh!"
As Li Ai spoke, she dejectedly threw the empty iron box onto the tree trunk, which echoed with a hollow sound.
With bulging cheeks, the cappuccino chewed heartily, its eyes sparkling.
"Kabu! It's your turn to speak."
Seeing that the other party had not made a move for a long time, Li Ai lowered her voice to remind them.
"This is so delicious, meow... How can there be something this delicious in the world, meow..."
As Kabu spoke, he was so moved that two lines of tears streamed down his face.
"Are you doing GG...? That's not the sentence."
Kabu cried and became more and more agitated until he saw that he had already eaten half of the luncheon meat, at which point he suddenly remembered something.
"I can't be the only one eating, meow. Everyone in the rescue team should have a taste too... cough cough! It's not a small amount, meow! It's just that humans are big, so they finish eating quickly. Look, I have a lot left."
After Kabu finished speaking loudly, he patted his belly with one paw and raised the half-full iron box with the other, shaking it to show it to the giant bird.
The giant bird's eyes flickered, as if it had thought of something. It looked down at the shield beetle, stomped on it with its claws, and then tilted its head in thought.
Seeing that the other person was moved, Li Ai took out two boxes of luncheon meat and performed the act again.
The giant bird tilted its head, changing direction, and continued to think.
Li Ai looked around and grabbed a green lizard from a tree trunk.
The lizard, thinking it was about to die, kept twisting and struggling.
The next moment, a large amount of savory luncheon meat was stuffed into his mouth.
"If it were even smaller, you'd only need a little bit of the same luncheon meat to feel full."
"Wow! I'm really full after just a little bit, meow!"
Kabu, acting like an assistant to a live-streaming e-commerce host, shouted and echoed from the sidelines.
"Li Ai, why isn't it moving, meow?"
Noticing that the giant bird was not behaving properly, Kabu asked in a low voice.
"Before the giant bird was fully anthropomorphized into a monster, it wasn't very smart. Perhaps it was because its thoughts were too complicated, causing its brain to malfunction."
"Oh, I see... Why is this lizard lying at your feet, meow?"
"Oh? You don't want to leave? Then let's do it again."
Li Ai picked up the lizard and stuffed it with luncheon meat again.
This time, however, the other party did not resist and actively burrowed its head into the box, and the luncheon meat began to disappear rapidly.
"Damn, you actually ate it!"
Li Ai could only grab the other's tail and use her hidden strength to drag it out little by little.
"Eat less, eat less..."
The elongated shadow of the giant bird's neck quickly fell to their feet.
Li Ai looked up and saw the other person raising their neck and staring directly at the sky above the woodland.
Then it jumped around in place, flapping its wings and roaring at the same time, appearing extremely excited.
buzz~
Li Ai's phone vibrated twice, and she opened it to check.
On the Monster Girl page, the giant bird has already entered the contact phase with two hearts of affection.
"It's done!...Kabu, you retreat first."
"Okay, meow!"
After taking the metal box from which the lizard crawled, Kabu scrambled into the grass.
Li Ai took a deep breath and walked straight toward the giant bird.
"What are you going to do with this, meow!"
Kabu's eyes widened in disbelief that a hunter would approach the giant bird without even drawing his hunting weapon.
As they approached, the giant bird's jumping force began to slow down, and Li Ai stood still and raised her hand.
The giant bird stopped its restlessness, ceased hopping, and slowly lowered its neck and head.
Li Ai gently stroked its beak twice with her palm.
"Teacher Yangkuku, we're partners from now on."
As Li Ai was speaking, she noticed something at her feet. Looking down, she saw a green lizard with a greasy face rubbing against her feet.
"Alright, count you in too."
As the sun sets, blue flares, signifying the disappearance of the threat, are launched and explode.
Li Ai immediately fired a signal flare to begin the authentication process.
Investigator Grave was not far away and quickly arrived at the scene.
"Investigator Grave, how's the situation with the Hero Team?"
"Sigh~ Just like before, the Black Wolf Bird escaped again. But this time, with the intelligence we jointly provided, the Hero Squad has started to research new tactics. It's a pity that after this incident, she will definitely try her best to stay away from here... Wait, what's with the Blue Velocidrome's wound?"
Grave, who was recording, stopped writing.
Hunters with different abilities have different ways of fulfilling their commissions.
Guilds strongly encourage hunting methods that involve guiding monsters to attack each other and triggering territorial disputes. Submitting a report documenting these methods also earns additional rewards.
So what Graves cares about is whether it was the happy individual who did it.
"It's her."
Li Ai gave a clear response.
"You chose a good time, but don't take any risks afterward. If you attract a one-eared black wolf bird, things will get bad."
Grave reminded him.
"Yes, I will try my best to be careful."
After Li Ai finished speaking, she glanced into the depths of the jungle.
