Monster Hunter: I can accept monster quests!

Chapter 89 Wild Fruit Thanks

The Extinction Dragon spread its wings, accepting Chen Yan's inspection.

Chen Yan also enthusiastically held up a torch to examine every inch of its wings. The inside of the broad brown wing membrane was covered with black spots, and it felt both soft and warm to the touch.

The outer side was covered with blackish-purple thorns of varying lengths. Chen Yan wanted to touch them, but the Nergigante folded its wings and wouldn't let him, afraid that the thorns would prick him.

After several days of careful feeding and care, the most severely damaged wings of the Nergigante finally recovered completely.

Not only had its wings grown back, but its other parts were also completely undamaged. Looking at the Nergigante shaking its head, Chen Yan couldn't help but marvel.

"That's amazing! But I feel like I've gotten even bigger since I fell down. Did I fatten me up?"

Chen Yan stood on tiptoe, curiously measuring the top horns of the Extinction Dragon's head with his hands—one hand's breadth, two hand's breadths, three hand's breadths...

Meanwhile, the Extinction Dragon took the opportunity to sniff around on Chen Yan again. Ever since the last time it sniffed him and caused trouble, it liked to sniff around on Chen Yan whenever it had the chance.

Chen Yan tried measuring and measuring but couldn't figure it out, and he even annoyed the Extinction Dragon with his measurements.

He reached out and grabbed the animal skin wrapped around Chen Yan's body, then threw it onto his thorny back.

The Nergigante slightly tensed its regeneration shell on its back, and the originally upright thorns stuck tightly to its scales. Chen Yan sitting on it felt like sitting on a rough, hard blanket.

It spread its wings and crouched down on its four limbs, seemingly wanting to carry Chen Yan into the sky.

"Wait! Let me find a comfortable place first!"

After much deliberation, we finally arrived at the neck of the Nergigante.

The thick, long thorns growing on his neck were comparable to his enormous horns, but the gaps between the thorns were quite large, just enough for him to sit down.

Chen Yan gripped a thick, long thorn in front of him, as if he were holding a rudder.

With a gentle push, the Nergigante, having received the command, soared into the sky at a speed far exceeding that of the Pink Rathian.

Chen Yan was struggling to breathe due to the gravitational acceleration. He could only watch helplessly as it didn't follow the path but instead crashed into the volcanic rocks. He frantically tried to adjust the control stick, but the flying Nergigante wouldn't listen to him.

He knew he could fly out of the cavern, but to demonstrate his unparalleled strength, he chose to smash open another large hole from the side.

With a muffled thud, it easily shattered the several-meter-thick volcanic rock. The Extinction Dragon returned to the surface and saw the long-lost sun. It let out an excited roar, completely forgetting that it still had a passenger on its back.

With a flap of its wings, a bolt of blackish-purple lightning shot straight into the sky, flying an unknown height until it could almost overlook the entire volcanic area before finally stopping.

He let out a roar, once again announcing the return of this "Ancient Dragon Slayer".

Faced with the intermittent roars from below, Nergigante, relying on its loud voice, responded to each one until no dragon dared to roar back at it, only then was it satisfied.

After venting his pent-up frustration, he finally remembered that Chen Yan was on his back. He shook his head but didn't get a response. Then, the Extinction Dragon reached out with its claws and found that Chen Yan was pale and looked like he couldn't breathe.

He hurriedly flew down, and only when Chen Yan was only a few hundred meters away from the ground did he recover. Holding Chen Yan, he suddenly revealed a fierce look, his eyes scanning every inch of the land below, as if he was looking for something.

"You're such a big dragon, yet you're so petty! The Broken Dragon has long since vanished; where are you going to look for it..."

The Extinction Dragon was relentless, seemingly willing to turn the entire volcanic area upside down. Chen Yan patted its claws, climbed onto its thorns, and returned to its neck.

"Alright, stop fooling around. Take me back to the Ancient Tree Forest. I wonder how Sakura... Flower Cat and the others are doing."

Although Chen Yan changed his mind in time, He still heard the word "cherry".

This reminded him of the intimate scene of Chen Yan riding on the back of the Pink Rathian. Nergigante roared angrily and pulled him off again, glaring fiercely at Chen Yan who was held in its claws.

He hovered motionless in mid-air, his eyes conveying the message, "Who's better, me or Pink Rathian? I'm not leaving until you tell me clearly."

"Oh, this..."

Chen Yan had to coax and coax the Extinction Dragon to make it happy.

The thought of the Pink Rathian family and Nergigante meeting again after returning to the Ancient Forest gave Chen Yan a headache. But with him around, hopefully they won't fight again...

The Nergigante was truly astonishing in both its speed and endurance. If Chen Yan hadn't suggested taking a break, it probably could have carried him all the way back to the Ancient Forest in one go.

He slowed his flight, glanced at the deep blue coral plateau below, and thought of the scene of Chen Yan and Pink Rathian fighting side by side with him. An inexplicable anger surged in his heart, and he grabbed Chen Yan again and rubbed him all over with his claws.

Chen Yan struggled but couldn't break free, and his protests were ignored. Faced with the Nergigante, whose combat power was off the charts, he could only be crushed and squeezed by it.

The dragon didn't stop until it had vented its anger. It found a familiar spot, held Chen Yan in its claws, and then swooped down, smashing through everything in its path.

The force of its landing was no less than that of its own, creating a large crater in the ground and shattering and shaking off a small portion of its fully hardened thorns, which were also a burden to it.

Then He took a deep breath, and Chen Yan, who had just crawled out of His claws, was too late to cover His mouth. He could only cover his own ears.

The Nergigante still roared domineeringly, proclaiming its existence, causing everything within a hundred meters to run away in terror.

Chen Yan looked at the empty corner of the Coral Plateau, feeling like crying but having no tears.

"My Queen, you've scared them all away! What am I supposed to eat now...?"

After confirming that there were no monsters coveting Chen Yan within a hundred meters, the Extinction Dragon abandoned Chen Yan, looked around a few times, and then, following the old traces on the surrounding coral trees, went to find an "old friend" to chat with.

After running a few steps, He turned back. He looked at Chen Yan with concern, his eyes gradually becoming dangerous. Chen Yan, who had already anticipated what He was going to do, sighed and lay down in a starfish position, ready to be picked.

"bring it on..."

After thoroughly licking Chen Yan inside and out, the Nergigante left with peace of mind.

Chen Yan wandered around but didn't see any fairy deer, so he just picked some wild fruits that were readily available to fill his stomach.

Black, green, blue, purple—Chen Yan picked any fruit that looked ripe and threw it into his animal skin bag. In no time, he had a bag full of them.

He weighed the portion and realized it was enough for a meal. Just as he was about to turn back, he inadvertently caught sight of huge, bright red wild fruits on the tall coral tree across the way. They looked incredibly delicious.

Chen Yan swallowed hard. He threw his bag full of wild fruit onto the stream, took off his clothes, and glanced into the water. It was clean and dry, as if there was nothing there.

He did a few quick warm-up exercises, then jumped into the stream.

Chen Yan, who wasn't very good at swimming, started swimming towards the other side using both his arms and legs, his attention completely focused on the red fruit, and he didn't notice the beautiful dragon shadow that had quietly appeared behind him.

The bubble-flying dragon, awakened by the noise, glared at Chen Yan, unable to bear his ugly, slow, and incredibly noisy unique way of playing.

It made a graceful turn, stirring the stream with its several huge pink leaf-shaped fins on its back, and quietly gave Chen Yan a ride.

"It's been a long time since I swam, but my swimming skills have improved!"

Bubbling Fox Dragon rolled its eyes at the smug Chen Yan, and just as it was about to dive back into the stream, it saw the bag of wild fruit that Chen Yan had thrown by the stream.

It only took one look to realize that most of the wild fruits inside were inedible.

The gentle and kind-hearted Bubble Fox Dragon hesitated for a moment, glanced at Chen Yan who was climbing a tree to pick fruit, and then quietly swam to the shore. It began to rummage through the animal skin bag and discard the wild fruits that were inedible.

After carefully picking through all the poisonous fruits, I finally managed to throw them away. Just as I was about to leave satisfied, I heard a soft "thank you."

It froze, then turned its head and found Chen Yan squatting on the opposite bank watching it.

Seeing the panicked look in Bubble Fox Dragon's eyes, Chen Yan smiled gratefully. Just as he was about to thank it again, it shrieked and shoved a huge soap bubble into his face.

Chen Yan was covered in the slippery liquid from the bursting soap bubbles. He slipped and fell to the ground. When he shook off the soap bubbles and got up, the beautiful, dreamlike figure of the Bubble Fox Dragon was nowhere to be seen on the stream.

Chen Yan blinked and gently pushed the larger of the two wild fruits into the middle of the stream. A pink figure flashed past underwater, and the wild fruit disappeared with a "plop".
