MTL - I Formed The El Cat Investigation Team In Pirates

Chapter 14 Thin-skinned and large stuffing with eighteen pleats...

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ification.

　　With a clean cutting sound, a large amount of blood and a huge rat head fell from the air.

“Sure enough, after switching back to Shiranagi, Iaoi is not even needed, just slashing with the air blade is enough.”

With a calm expression, Xie Wen sheathed his knife and murmured in a dazed tone, then took out his hunting knife and stabbed the oversized mouse he had just killed.

  Simply pricked and pulled, and a complete piece of rat skin was covered on the big rat's body.

 “Well…we don’t need animal skins much now…”

Xie Wen curled his lips and put away the rat skin. Sanji, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately jumped over and handled the prey skillfully as usual.

 At this time, it had already passed since we killed the Lin Sheep King and the Wild Boar King... I don’t know how long it was.

Because Xie Wen did not mark the number of days on rocks or trees every day like in many movies and TV dramas. Anyway, he only knew that he had grown a lot taller. Finally, he no longer had to hold the sword horizontally and could use the orthodox method. It's the cross-carrying style of the Tai Swordsman.

In addition, because the "villager suit" on his body did not have any adaptive system, it had already become a navel-baring outfit. As the pants on his lower body became more and more tight, Xie Wen directly abandoned them and used them when making tents. With my bright tailoring skills, I sewed myself a pair of animal skin pants.

After Xie Wen finished making the tent, they began to move and draw pictures at the same time.

 Now, Xie Wen and Sanji Miao have changed their bases several times, and the exploration degree of the map has also increased to 36.3%, basically covering the southern area of ​​the island.

 During this period, it was natural to fight the large monsters on the island. However, as Xie Wen's strength became stronger day by day, he rarely encountered monsters that could threaten him.

Even in order to practice his actual combat skills, Xie Wen has not used the fresh knife Bai Nagi for a long time. Instead, he uses a homemade bone knife with very rough workmanship, and occasionally uses the fangs of the Wild Boar King to play with two knives.

The reason why I changed back to Xiandao Bai Nagi today is not because of how strong this big rat is, but simply because the opponent’s lair is just suitable as a new stronghold. In addition, this big rat has a very ferocious character and cannot be like that. Some large monsters were defeated and kept as sparring partners, so Xie Wen simply gave the opponent a good beating...

By the way, it also proves his current strength.

　　While Sanji Miao was handling the ingredients, Xie Wen took out his hunter's manual from his bag.

Although another illustration was added, bringing the number of monster information in the large monster illustration to ten, it was still the same as the previous times, without any movement, and did not give Xie Wen a new summoning ticket because the number exceeded double digits. fragments.

 “Tsk!”

Xie Wen clicked his tongue in displeasure, casually named the new illustrated book "Rat King", and then turned the manual to the first page showing the map.

"Well, after this station, there is no need to change bases in a short time." Looking at their current location, Xie Wen said to Sanji Miao.

“That kind of thing doesn’t matter! Still don’t have a summoning ticket, nya?”

Sanji, who had already put away all the ingredients, ducked to Xie Wen's side, then pulled his arm holding the manual and put his furry head up.

"No, I don't know how many monsters' information needs to be collected before the second fragment will appear." Xie Wen shrugged helplessly and replied: "Or... there is only this one, and the rest must be unlocked on other pages. ?”

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible, meow!" Sanji meow shook his little head like a five-speed electric fan, obviously not wanting to accept this terrible possibility, "At least after exploring the island, there will be a meow." ! Otherwise, why would it show a progress bar?"

 Although this is Sanji's excuse to escape reality, I have to say that it still makes some sense.

 In fact, Xie Wen also feels that when the progress bar reaches 100%, there will definitely be something more in this hunter's manual. As for whether it is summoning ticket fragments... that is not necessarily the case.

and…

“Even if the progress bar is 100% and the summoning ticket fragments are given, it is only two-thirds, and there is still not enough to make one.” Xie Wen stroked the cat and teased him.

“It’s also possible to give me a summoning ticket directly, meow!” Sanji meow retorted without any confidence.

  After all, the stinginess of this poor manual is obvious to all. Xie Wen has unlocked so many things, and so far he has only given one-third of the follower cat summoning coupons.

"Then do you think there is a possibility..." Xie Wen continued teasingly: "When I first arrived on this island and unlocked the map page, I used the first summoning ticket to summon you here? "

 This is one of Xie Wen's guesses when he was bored, just to amuse the cats. As for the truth, it doesn't matter anymore.

 “I was not summoned here, meow!”

Sanji Miao retorted angrily, and then added with some uncertainty: "It should be...not Miao?"

 Because he actually didn’t quite remember how he came to this island, and when he saw Xie Wen for the first time, he subconsciously knew that the other party was his employer, so...

Is this really possible? !

Sanji Miao was startled by his guess, then he held his head with his little paws and shook it in disbelief. “Don’t meow! Don’t meow for this kind of thing!”

“Ahem, this is just a guess on my part, and it may not necessarily be the case. Okay, okay, don’t be so excited. There are still many locked pages. Sooner or later, I will be able to summon a new partner for you.”

Seeing Sanji Miao's collapsed appearance, Xie Wen felt a little distressed again, and quickly picked him up and comforted him softly.

Xie Wen comforted him for a long time before calming down the frantic Sanji. The first thing the cat did after he calmed down was to grab Xie Wen's hand and bite him hard in retaliation.

 “Hiss—be gentle! Be gentle! The skin is about to break!”

“You’re not that easy to get hurt, meow!” Sanji’s cat continued to bite Xie Wen’s hand, while glaring at him, he said vaguely: “Who asked you to scare my cat!”

Xie Wen quickly begged for mercy, and Sanjimiao reluctantly let go of his mouth.

Xie Wen rubbed the teeth mark on the back of his hand vigorously. After pondering for a moment, Xie Wen suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, I don't know about your previous experience. Can you tell me about it?"

After having the speculation that Sanji Mew might have been summoned, Xie Wen was curious about whether he was fabricated by Goldfinger out of thin air, or whether he was really summoned from Monster Hunter World.

 But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there seemed to be no difference between the two, because to Xie Wen, the world of Monster Hunter was originally fabricated by game designers.

 However, Xie Wen is still a little curious about Sanji Miao's past experience.

"Meow? My previous experience is nothing special about meow." Sanji tilted his head in confusion, and then replied: "Living with other El cats and Mel cats, and then being taken care of by Grandma Cat Go to the village to train in cooking skills, and then..."

He raised his head and tried hard to recall, and then suddenly punched his paw...

“By the way, meow! I suddenly lost consciousness when I went into the water to catch fish. When I woke up, I was already on this island, meow! You were lying next to me, meow!”

 Speaking of which... it's possible that Sanji Miao was summoned... although it's very possible that I didn't summon him myself.

 Because like the original Sanji, Sanji's swimming skills are very good. It's hard to imagine that he just goes into the water to catch a fish and suddenly drowns and loses consciousness.

Xie Wen thought for a while, but still did not say this speculation to stimulate Maomao. Instead, he followed his words and said nonsense: "I was the same, I was soaking in the hot spring, I fainted while soaking, and you woke me up. Even my body became smaller after that.”

Sure enough, after hearing what Xie Wen said, Sanji Miao suddenly became happy.

It’s not that he resents being summoned, the Elu cats don’t care about this, mainly because if he is not summoned, then when the map progress reaches 100%, Xie Wen’s probability of getting the entire summoning ticket will be greater. Some.

 Then Xie Wen chatted with Sanji Miao for a while about the topic before time travel. Only then did he realize that Sanji Miao was not yet an adult...

Although Elu cats are cats, they are not as short-lived as ordinary cats. Instead, they are a race that lives longer than humans. The concept of adulthood is similar to that of humans, around 18 years old, but they are not The main basis is the year, but it is judged by its own growth situation, so the fluctuation is relatively large, but it will not exceed five years at most.

And when Sanji Meow appeared on this island with Xie Wen, he was actually only eight years old...the same age as Sanji when he escaped from Vinsmoke's house.

I don’t know if this is a coincidence.

In the following period of time, Xie Wen was too lazy to use bone knives or wild boar tusks for actual combat training because he felt that he would not get any improvement if he continued to fight these large monsters.

When you encounter a large monster with a relatively docile personality, you can use the fresh sword with a scabbard, Bai Nagi, to beat it up and open a picture book. If you encounter one that you can't communicate with, you can just unsheath Bai Nagi and use an air blade to decapitate the owl to resolve the battle.

This has greatly improved the efficiency of map exploration. In less than a month, the map exploration rate has nearly doubled, almost exceeding 70%. Xie Wen and his team have also moved their base from the southern coast to the island. Northern area.

At this rate, they will be able to cover the entire island in more than half a month.

Just when Xie Wen was looking at the map in the manual and considering where to choose the next station, Sanji, who had returned from foraging for food, jumped into his arms.

 “Xie Wen, Xie Wen, I found a strange thing today, meow!”

While enjoying Xie Wen's touch, Sanji Miao put his little paws into his cat's claw bag and took out a strange fruit that was about the same size as his head and looked a bit like dragon fruit.

Looking at the familiar spiral pattern on the fruit, as well as the flame-shaped peel and fruit stem, Xie Wen's heart suddenly stirred up a storm.

 It’s actually Goubuli Fruit!

   Written 3,000 words, and finally entered the pirate theme...

Actually, I didn’t expect to write so much in the beginning. Just as I was writing, more than ten chapters passed...

　　　Thanks to ぬ龙あ for the reward.
