One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

Chapter 231 Returning Home in Glory X Going Home to Visit Empty Nest Elderly√

When Link's feet stepped onto the wooden pier at the port of Yanhuo Village, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Then, as expected, he choked.

The air quality in Yanhuo Village is not very good. The coal used for iron smelting here is not anthracite, and some exhaust gas will always be deposited after being emitted every year.

"This is the master's hometown, meow."

Chuchu was carrying a big bag and following Link, looking at the surrounding scenery curiously.

In front of the port is the village's Felynx training ground.

The weather is nice today. A dozen Elu cats and Fang Hounds surrounded the Mechanical Kappa Frog, waving their weapons and dodging attacks, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Well, when we get home later, I'll introduce you to my family."

Link reached out and touched Chuchu's ear and smiled.

"Captain Belle, I'm leaving first. We'll see each other again if we're lucky."

"Haha, little brother, have a safe journey, see you next time."

Waving goodbye to the captain, Link led Chuchu through the Followers Square, across the suspension bridge, and into the village.

"Blow, the wind that wards off evil, over the land of fire..." (Dragon Man)

From a distance, Link heard familiar singing coming from the village entrance.

Looking up, I saw a familiar figure sitting on a bench at the intersection, singing with his eyes closed.

Around, some villagers and tourists passing by, upon hearing the beautiful singing, would always stop and listen to the girl's heavenly voice.

"...Keep protecting the village until dawn." (Dragon Man)

Although Link could not understand the language of the Dragon People, he had memorized the song from childhood and naturally understood the meaning of the lyrics.

This is a ballad for warding off disasters and evil spirits. In the distant past, the dragon sisters of Yanhuo Village sang this song to bless the hunters and villagers who were resisting the night march of hundreds of dragons, and to wish them a safe return.

This is unofficial history.

According to official history, the two sisters finished singing the song, put on the buffs, one holding a bow and the other holding a gun, and with their powerful strength, they swept through the Hundred Dragons Night Parade and protected the villagers.

The monsters that died tragically at the hands of the two sisters could be piled up into a mountain.

Thinking of the gossip he had heard from old man Sui Fengren, the corners of Link's mouth under the mask couldn't help but curl up, and he walked towards Huoya.

"Ok?"

Huoya, who was singing, suddenly found a shadow covering her. She looked up and saw a strange hunter wearing armor and a mask standing in front of her.

Judging from his clothes, this hunter doesn't look like a local.

She was still wondering when such a guest came to the village, but she saw the man raise his hand and take off the mask on his face, revealing a familiar face.

"Hey, Link, you're back."

Seeing Link, Huoya was slightly startled, then reacted and smiled brightly.

This smile does not contain any trace of love between men and women; it is purely the care and concern of an elder for a younger person.

"Well, I'm back, Sister Huoya."

Link didn't say anything sentimental. Just saying "I'm back" was enough.

"Haha, I'm glad you're back. Have you eaten? If not, I'll buy you some rabbit dumplings."

Huoya stood up, looked at Link, who was much taller than when he left, and poked his chest armor gently.

She originally wanted to touch his head, but Link was wearing a helmet, so she gave up the idea.

"Uh, I just ate. No need."

When it comes to bunny rabbit, Link is speechless.

"Sister Huoya is still the same. I never get tired of eating bunny dumplings."

Thinking of this, Link moved aside and introduced Chuchu behind him to Huoya.

"Sister Huoya, this is Chuchu, my follower cat contracted by Lokrak."

"Hello, Sister Huoya."

Chuchu walked forward, bent down politely and lifted her skirt to salute. With her bright red dress, she looked like an elegant little princess and captured Huoya's heart at first sight.

"Wow, what a cute cat."

Seeing the cute cat, Huoya smiled with her eyebrows curved. She bent down and hugged her, holding Chuchu in her arms.

Chuchu did not struggle. Huoya was pretty, and even the introverted cat could not refuse her embrace.

If it had been an ugly one, she would have hidden behind Link.

After all, this is a world where faces matter.

Chuchu changed her posture in Huoya's arms, with her little head resting on two huge and soft human hearts, which was so enviable to look at.

"Let's go. Now that we're back, let's go see Shuiyun and old man Sui Fengren."

As she spoke, Huoya Lotus took light steps and walked ahead towards the guild.

Link was speechless and could only follow behind.

The two of them entered the meeting hall one after the other, and at a glance they saw Sui Fengnen feeding rabbit dumplings to the little devil frog.

"Cuck!"

As Link approached, perhaps feeling the pressure from the Rock-Worn Demon Frog suit on his body, the little Demon Frog lying on the ground trembled in fear and almost threw the old man off its back.

"Ouch, you scared me."

After Sui Fengren finally adjusted his posture, he saw two people walking into the meeting hall.

"Hey, Link, why are you back? Last time you went to Jieyun Village to play, you never came back, so I couldn't find you even though I wanted to settle the score with you."

As soon as he saw Link, Sui Fengnian became unhappy.

He still hasn't forgotten the time when Link took Huoya and Shuiyun away and asked him to work overtime.

Fortunately, there were few people in the Yanhuo Village gathering place and it was not busy, otherwise he would not be able to handle it alone.

"Ah ha ha."

Seeing that the old man hadn't forgotten about this matter after so long, Link could only smile awkwardly and try to get away with it.

"Hmph, never mind. Anyway, you brought me a souvenir, and I like it very much."

Sui Fengren snorted coldly and let Link go.

As for the souvenir he was referring to, it was the wooden sculpture of a ghost frog that Link got in exchange for the goldfish. This ornament was placed at the head of the old man's bed.

"As long as you like it."

As he said that, Link touched the little frog's head, scaring the little fool into shaking again.

Link then remembered that the equipment he was wearing was made by the little guy's older cousin.

Sui Fengren glanced at Link who was wearing the samurai armor, narrowed his eyes, nodded, but said nothing.

With his sharp eyes, he naturally recognized the origin of the equipment at a glance and had a general understanding of Link's strength.

"You're back just in time. I have a commission for you to handle. Shuiyun, take out the commission from the Abandoned Shrine's Mud Dragon."

Sui Fengren shouted, and Shui Yun, who was sitting at the counter, said nothing. She glanced at Link and her sister and took out a commission form.

"Sister Shuiyun."

Link called out politely, and when he saw Shui Yun curled up her lips, he walked forward and picked up the commission.

[Terrible Burrowing Monster]

[Mission star rating: ★★★★]

[Task Nature: Ordinary]

[Mission location: Abandoned Shrine]

[Mission Objective: Hunting the Mud Dragon]

[Limited time: 15 days]

【Remuneration:】

[Client: The attacked weapons dealer]

[Task Description: I purchased a batch of high-quality ironware from Yanhuo Village and planned to transport it to Rocklak for sale.

But on the way I met a mud dragon playing in the mud. When it saw me, it rushed towards me.

Although I escaped, the Marutori that pulled the cart and the cargo were left there. Please help me hunt the Mud Dragon. 】

"A mud dragon?"

Link glanced at the star rating of the mission and found it was just right for him, so he took out the hunter card and asked Shuiyun to help stamp it.

Shui Yun's gaze lingered on the hunter level column on the card for a moment, and a look of relief appeared in her eyes.

He had an expression as if his son had finally grown up and become successful.

"Since you just came back, why don't you rest in the village for two days? The mission time limit is relatively loose anyway."

As she spoke, Shui Yun moved her nose and smelled the salty and fishy smell coming from Link, which was the unique smell of the sea breeze.

"Well, that's just right. I'm going to make a new weapon. I'll set off once the weapon is ready."

Link nodded and made up his mind to go to the village blacksmith shop and get a sturdy and powerful hammer.

The mud dragon is not easy to deal with. Just as its name suggests, it is like a slippery loach and likes to move around in the mud.

It can also manipulate mud and sand to form a barrier to hinder hunters' attacks.

It's a very tricky monster.

The sledgehammer can easily destroy the mud wall created by the Mud Dragon, giving Link the opportunity to output damage.

As for the rest time of forging weapons, Link can go to the training ground in the village and review the use of the sledgehammer, so as to avoid forgetting how to swing the sledgehammer when he goes to the hunting ground.

"Since Link is back, let's have a big meal today to celebrate."

Huoya clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention.

"Okay, what to eat?"

"How about a hundred skewers of rabbit dumplings?"

"..."
