'Speaking of fire dragons and horned dragons, I guess they mean the fire dragon and the horned dragon?'
'The only way we can go is to hunt those two monsters, standing at the top of the food chain…!'
Standing next to the bun-headed receptionist, Ben accepted the horned dragon mission of these two tasks.
"Could you please stop using 'we'? You haven't helped at all from start to finish with the dragon fighting, you've just been holding me back. The old woman he met when fighting the Odogaron before, saved you once and you cried and said you would never mess around again. I've saved you so many times, but you still do what you want!" Ben couldn't help but complain to the bun-headed receptionist in front of him.
At first, he thought this receptionist would be a good helper, but she's just a good-for-nothing!
When I see her, all she does is eat.
Sometimes when I occasionally return to the wild, I see her rummaging through my storage box, and she's chewing on something. Anyone with a brain knows she's stealing food.
At that moment, Ben thought of the various introductions to dragons that Lucas's official account posted when "Monster Hunter: World"was being promoted.
Among them, he remembered there was one called 'Gluttonous Great King of Terror', whose trait was gluttony. It was called Deviljho, if he remembered correctly.
You, bun-headed receptionist, are simply a Deviljho cub! You eat all day long!
Of course, eating is one thing, but the key is that she's also good at starting trouble.
Small Thief Dragon, Great Jagras, Tzitzi-Ya-Ku, Odogaron, I dare you to open the Deviljho again!
He chose to accept the mission, ate his cat food, and arrived at the Wildspire Waste where the horned dragon was located. Ben couldn't help but sigh deeply as he looked at the bun-headed receptionist beside him.
Good-for-nothing!
When will I ever find a truly awesome NPC hunter teammate?
"Forget it, just stay in the base and don't cause me any trouble, and I'll be satisfied," Ben looked at the bun-headed receptionist in front of him and couldn't help but sigh, hating that she wasn't good enough.
He filled up on antidotes and healing potions, and then Ben set off to find traces of the horned dragon.
After wandering around the Wildspire Waste for a bit, Ben soon triggered a cutscene.
A dragon covered in armor walking on the sand came towards them.
But it wasn't the horned dragon, but the Barroth, that tough one who throws mud.
And at this moment, the entire Wildspire Waste began to tremble violently.
Some of the Vigorwasps around were startled and took to the sky.
The Barroth in front also seemed to sense something, and looked around with a face full of fear, wanting to escape.
But the next moment, the ground beneath the Barroth suddenly broke open.
A huge monster burst out of the ground!
In the rolling sand and dust, the huge shape of this monster could be vaguely seen.
This was the largest monster Ben had ever seen besides Zorah Magdaros, even larger than the Nergigante and Rathalos from before.
Ben originally felt that the Barroth was already very large, but compared to the monster in front of him, it was nothing.
It had a huge body, with two very thick, long horns, and its armor looked as hard as rock.
Its tail was forked, like a hammer, and looked very imposing.
While Ben was still marveling, the Barroth was directly pressed to the ground and rubbed by the huge creature that had drilled out of the ground.
Despite the Barroth's constant struggles, it was no match for this huge creature.
Then the horned dragon in front of him kept pawing at the ground, and in a burst of rising sand and dust, the Barroth and the horned dragon disappeared in front of Ben.
Only the sand in front began to collapse, and the hunter in the game desperately climbed out.
But the quicksand kept flowing into the hole, and eventually the hunter fell heavily into the cave below.
Getting up from the yellow sand, the hunter coughed and checked the situation in the cave.
Yellow sand still trickled down from the entrance of the cave, like a circle of sand waterfalls surrounding the hunter.
Through the yellow sand, he could vaguely see the Barroth lying motionless not far away.
In addition, there were many white bones, but he didn't know what kind of creatures they belonged to.
At this time, the quicksand stopped.
In the cave, the horned dragon who had just killed the Barroth obviously discovered that there was an uninvited guest here.
Turning its head, the horned dragon stared at Ben with hostile eyes, and at the same time let out a huge dragon roar.
Under this huge dragon roar, the hunter in the game covered his ears and shook his head. Shaken by the sound waves, the yellow sand on his head fell again.
"Oh my god! This horned dragon isn't a vegetarian, is it? Why is it so fierce!"
Looking at the huge horned dragon in front of him, Ben was completely numb. Now he finally knew one thing.
That is, this horned dragon is indeed a vegetarian, but being a vegetarian doesn't mean it doesn't kill!
The Barroth was just walking on the road, who did it offend?
You, horned dragon, suddenly broke out of the ground and killed the Barroth.
Okay, you wanted to eat it, but why are you, a vegetarian who eats cactus, so fierce!
The world is so beautiful, wouldn't it be better if we had more love?
Ben looked at the horned dragon in front of him, and his whole body was dumbfounded.
The horned dragon was too big!
He suspected that the Odogaron, which had made him suffer a bit before, would be smashed into a patty with one slap in front of the horned dragon.
"Don't panic! Ben, you can do it!"
"Vegetarian horned dragons are just a little fierce to look at! Big bodies, weak chrysanthemum, lots of hair, weak fire. This horned dragon must be very clumsy, and when facing huge monsters, you can definitely win as long as you attack its balls!"
Ben cheered himself up and thought of the general ways to deal with BOSS in "Dark Souls".
And at this moment, the horned dragon let out a dragon roar, and then rushed over directly, wanting to solve the uninvited guest who had rashly entered its nest.
Along with the horned dragon's roar, although the distance was very far, the hunter in the game involuntarily covered his ears and fell into a stiff state.
And the horned dragon, after roaring, paused for a second, and then charged towards Ben with a bang, bang, bang.
"Oh my god, why are you using a dragon charge right away! And what's with this damage!" Ben was startled when he saw the hunter being knocked away after failing to dodge.
The so-called dragon charges encountered before were not very lethal at all.
For example, the so-called dragon charge of the Barroth that was killed by the horned dragon earlier was just a lot of noise and little rain when it hit the body.
But the horned dragon's dragon charge in front of him was completely different.
It truly made Ben feel what brutality was.
Taking one hit directly took away half of his life!
Fortunately, his partner, the Palico, triggered the skill, and very kindly brought a healing honey from somewhere.
Getting up from the ground, Ben stepped forward and pressed the interaction button, took out a dagger from his pocket and cut it open to replenish his blood.
At the same time, the horned dragon in the distance started pawing the ground with its feet again, and charged over fiercely.
However, this time Ben had experience.
A nimble roll dodged the horned dragon's dragon charge, and at the same time, the long sword was pulled out from behind and slashed hard at the horned dragon's tail.
Because it was the highest sharpness, and he was lucky, this knife didn't bounce off, but the damage in that place indicated how thick the other party's skin was.
And with this second slash, Ben heard a crisp 'ding' and was directly deflected.
But the next moment, the horned dragon's thick tail swung and swept him away.
This health bar made him find the feeling of playing "Dark Souls"back then.
With continuous attacks, Ben still found the areas on the horned dragon's body where the long sword could hit.
But the key is whether this horned dragon's AI performance was by Nebula Games, or whether the monster itself was designed like this.
Ben only felt that every part of the horned dragon's body could be attacked.
There was no way to get close at all.
Swinging its tail, kicking with its hind legs, plus a dragon charge, it was simply impossible to start.
If the distance was a little further, Ben would find that this horned dragon would directly use a dragon charge.
A slight graze and half a bar of health would disappear.
At the same time, this horned dragon had a special skill where it could drill into the ground and then rush over to attack underground.
This move was too difficult to dodge.
Even rolling wasn't a panacea.
If you weren't careful, you would be hit into the sky, and the damage was high, not worse than a dragon charge. One hit would take away half of your health bar.
Occasionally when he went around to the horned dragon's blind spot, the long sword didn't hit the weak point or the normal damage location.
Instead, it hit the hard armor, not only triggering the deflection mechanic, but the damage was even a white single digit.
The 'ding ding ding' sound was quite nice to listen to, but the key was that he didn't want to hear it!
After fighting for ten minutes in a row, the horned dragon was still alive and kicking.
And Ben estimated that the damage he had caused to the horned dragon shouldn't have exceeded six or seven hundred points at most.
And most of it should have been caused by his partner, the Palico.
The whole time he just dodged dragon charges and kept his distance to drink potions.
At the same time, this horned dragon also has a move: dragon roar.
Compared to the roar of Anjanath before, this horned dragon's roar was too awesome.
Looking at the fierce horned dragon in front of him, Ben took a deep breath.
He had to admit that he was in trouble again. This was the most powerful opponent he had ever encountered.
High health, high attack, high defense, strong desire to attack, and a large attack range.
In every way, the horned dragon in front of him was simply too strong.
"Okay, horned dragon, you big guy, all your moves have been seen through by me!"
"You wait for me, don't run away! I'll bring my teammates to get revenge later!"
"If you're a man, you'll stay here and don't run away!"
"Horned Dragon! I will definitely be back!"
Looking at the horned dragon in front of him, Ben said in the most stern tone.
At the same time, four big words appeared on the screen.
[Fainted from Exhaustion!]
