There were many players who were as surprised as Lin Xue.
Everyone was surprised to find that the game was indeed more "f * cking awesome"!
The players who used all sorts of weapons were extremely confident in themselves, such as a greatsword that smashed through the air, a sledgehammer that spun around mindlessly, a shield axe that dealt explosive damage, a crossbow that was like a gatling gun …
The players all expressed how effortless it was to fight!
Was this real? Why did it feel so unreal?
Of course, there were some players who chose a weird weapon like the hunting flute, but changed to something else after playing for a while because it was trash. In the early stages of the game, players would change their weapons frequently, and they would mainly focus on a few popular weapons.
The first two quests were to hunt down a Ferocious Jackal Dragon and a Crowned Titan Dragon. Both of these monsters were small monsters. Even if they resisted, the damage the players would lose was negligible. Moreover, there were plenty of Dew Grass and Health Potions on the ground. Even a lousy player could complete these quests without any trouble.
Moreover, Kitty would attract aggro for the players and share the damage. Most of the time, the players just had to deal damage from behind the monsters. This was completely different from Dark Souls, where they had to hold a shield at all times.
Apart from fighting, the players spent most of their time wandering around the stronghold and the forest, gathering materials and searching for monsters. The pace of the game was actually very slow.
Many players felt that half an hour would pass if they wandered around the investigation stronghold, looking at the weapons that could be forged in the workshop or the items sold by the merchants. An hour would pass if they searched for footprints in the forest, gathered some resources, and killed a few minions.
Many female players even felt that the game was very friendly to them. As a hunter, killing minions with Kitty, digging dragon bones in the forest, picking a beehive, or simply sitting on a tree and enjoying the scenery … it was very relaxing!
…
Lin Xue was following the quest's instructions to track down a monster called a Dhole Dragon.
"Hmm? I can send a distress signal? This should be the one in the trailer, where we fight together in a team, right? "
A red signal flare was fired into the air.
Lin Xue tried to send a distress signal. She didn't think too much about it and just sent it out for fun, but the team of four was full before she could even take two steps.
The other three teammates came to the camp on the Pterodactyl and quickly met up with Lin Xue.
"Snow! Let's take a group photo! "
"Draw your sword, Ah Xue is mine!"
"Stop fooling around. We're on TV. It's a live broadcast!"
The three of them chimed in one after another, leaving Lin Xue helpless.
They were all fans! No wonder it was full so quickly!
In the original game, the distress signal could only be found by players in the same gathering place. However, the VR version of Monster Hunter World had completely lifted this restriction. It was equivalent to a global server, randomly selecting various team missions. Apart from that, if the player's Thunderbolt Game Pass was a friend, they could also form a party very quickly. These three players were obviously Lin Xue's friends. They had been waiting for her, and when they saw Lin Xue's distress signal, they immediately came in.
Moreover, players could freely switch on and off voice options in the game. Players could communicate directly through voice, which was much more convenient.
Lin Xue looked at the three of them. One was a katana, one was a broadsword, and the last one was a bow and arrow.
"Come on, watch the gold streamer bring you guys flying!" Lin Xue was full of confidence.
The other three said, "Don't worry Ah Xue, we'll bring you to the ground. All you have to do is shout 666 from the back!"
The four of them confidently searched for traces of the Big Vicious Jackal Dragon. Soon, they found it in the depths of the Ancient Forest.
The Big Vicious Jackal Dragon was the monster they encountered at the beginning of the game. It looked like a giant lizard that would swallow its prey whole. It was much bigger than the Small Vicious Jackal Dragon and the Crowned Titan Dragon they had fought before.
It looked like it had just swallowed a herbivore and was in a state of indigestion. It dragged its belly and crawled with difficulty, probably trying to digest the food.
Lin Xue and the other three hid behind a tree, discussing their strategy.
"How do we fight it?"
"This guy is bigger than the previous monsters, let's be careful."
"What's there to be afraid of? There are four of us, we can just charge forward and charge forward! "
"Let's sneak over carefully and attack together."
"Alright, let's do that!"
The four of them made up their minds and began to slowly approach the Big Vicious Jackal Dragon. However, as soon as they entered the Big Vicious Jackal Dragon's line of sight, the indigestion lizard looked over!
Moreover, its eyes were filled with caution.
Lin Xue was a bit surprised, "This monster is so smart! Why do I feel like it's on guard against us? "
She didn't feel this way when she fought the small monsters. The Small Vicious Jackal Dragons would surround the Hunters and attack them, while the Crown Dragon would only retaliate when it was attacked. Both of these monsters had low IQ, so fighting them was no different from fighting in other games.
However, this was the first time Lin Xue felt that the Big Vicious Jackal Dragon's AI was different from the small monsters.
Lin Xue's party of four came from different directions. The players who snuck past the Big Vicious Jackal Dragon from behind were completely unnoticed, and the players who hid in the bushes were fine too. However, Lin Xue and the other fanbase player who snuck past the Big Vicious Jackal Dragon were discovered even though they were crouching down.
The Big Vicious Jackal Dragon didn't attack immediately, nor did it ignore the Hunters and leave. Instead, it looked at the uninvited guests in front of it with caution and took a few steps back.
"I'm going!"
The Greatsword player who had snuck up behind the Fierce Jackal Dragon jumped out and swung his greatsword, which was almost as long as he was tall, at the back of the Fierce Jackal Dragon.
"Smack!!"
The greatsword slammed into the ground, causing the water on the ground to splash half a meter into the air.
Everyone: "… …"
Lin Xue was shocked, "You … you're a big target, and a stationary one at that. How can you slash the air?!"
The player with the greatsword coughed helplessly. He raised his greatsword and wanted to slash again, but the Big Vicious Jackal Dragon had already raised its left claw and slapped him to the side.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the player who was slapped to the side was fine, the remaining three charged forward. The two wielding the Tachi charged forward, while the one wielding the bow and arrow dealt damage from the back.
After forming a party, Lin Xue didn't have a cat to help her. However, since it was a group of four, and the Big Vicious Jackal Dragon could only attack one person, the other three could deal damage from the side without any pressure. For Lin Xue, this was much easier than going solo with a cat.
"Alright, watch out for my Ascending Dragon Sword!"
Lin Xue got into position and prepared to use the Ascending Dragon Sword to deal an explosive amount of damage.
However, the Big Vicious Jackal Dragon with its round belly rolled on the ground and knocked Lin Xue to the side.
