Ancient Dragon

Although Li Wei felt that something was strange and that sense of crisis had never subsided, there was indeed no foreign object outside the cave, so he slowly loosened his hand covering Bao Ling's mouth.

Only then did he notice that there was a lot of saliva on his palm, which must have come from Bao Ling's mouth.

"What's wrong? There's nothing outside the cave," Bao Ling tilted her head back and whispered in Li Wei's ear.

Just then, a loud booming sound came from outside the cave.

Li Wei pulled Bao Ling into his arms again, and this time, Li Wei hand happened to land on the protrusion on her chest.

Bao Ling's body visibly jolted, as if she had been electrocuted, but she dared not speak because the air outside the cave was undergoing a strange refraction phenomenon.

This only suggests one possibility: there is something at the entrance of the hole.

This was the first time either Li Wei or Bao Ling had encountered something like this.

Bao Ling, who had initially tried to break free from Li Wei, stopped struggling once again. Not only that, she subconsciously leaned back, her pert buttocks now pressed uncomfortably against Li Wei's crotch.

Li Wei was secretly groaning at this moment.

What kind of situation is this? The desire that she had managed to suppress surged up again, and this time, even a powerful expert like her couldn't hold back. This directly led to one result: Bao Ling felt something pressing against the softest spot between her legs.

It felt like an electric current shot through her entire body from that spot, and Bao Ling instinctively felt as if her bones were melting. The pain in her body lessened considerably in an instant, and she could feel her nipples starting to react.

If Li Wei hadn't been supporting her, Bao Ling would probably have collapsed to the ground. But she wasn't in much better shape anyway; Li Wei was holding her with both arms to keep her from falling.

"Calm down, calm down, now is not the time to think about these messy things." Li Wei bit his tongue hard, and the heat in his body lessened a lot.

There's clearly something at the entrance to the hole.

However, to the naked eye, only a blurry outline can be seen, as if it were something transparent.

By the way

Transparent?

Li Wei suddenly had a flash of inspiration; he thought of a monster. Almost instantly, Li Wei's eyes activated the 'Eye of Perception' skill.

Under the Eye of Perception, Li Wei's pupils turned pale red, and he saw a 'thing' standing outside the cave entrance.

Without a doubt, this was a colossal creature, larger than the Yian Garuga. Even with his Eye of Perception, Li Wei could only see a vague outline and some information about the thing.

"Chameleos, an ancient dragon species, a wondrous ancient dragon, an enigmatic creature."

The name of this 'thing' is Chameleos, and as Li Wei guessed, it is one of the most mysterious Elder Dragons in the Monster Hunter World.

In this quest world, there are thousands of monster species, among which 'dragons' are the most common and powerful. They are basically at the very top of the food chain pyramid.

The Rathian that Li Wei had hunted before was one of these, but in reality, Rathian are nothing special in this huge dragon family.

There are many dragon species stronger than the Rathian, but they are all dragon species that have emerged in the last thousand years. The so-called Ancient Dragons are dragon-like creatures from ancient times. Due to the passage of time, their existence is extremely rare, but without a doubt, any Ancient Dragon is an exceptionally powerful being.

Even among Elder Dragons, the Chameleos is considered an outcast. It possesses the ability to freely conceal its form, and very few have ever seen it. This ability to freely conceal its form is a unique power that allows it to assimilate into its surroundings and become completely invisible. Even more astonishing is the magical substance secreted by the Chameleos that can rapidly react with sugars in the human body to produce large amounts of lactic acid. The result is extreme fatigue, rendering the user unable to continue fighting—a potent form of hypnosis.

"Therefore, we absolutely cannot get too close to this monster," Li Wei made up his mind.

All other information about this creature is unknown.

This is the information Li Wei recalled about Chameleos. Without a doubt, Chameleos is probably even more terrifying than Tigrex, and Li Wei and Bao Ling were 'lucky' enough to encounter one.

Having grasped this understanding, Li Wei cleared his mind of all distractions. He covered Bao Ling's mouth with his hand again; if the girl were to make even the slightest sound, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, Bao Ling also noticed the clue at the cave entrance. Naturally, she now regarded Li Wei as her pillar of support, so the two of them hid at the very back of the cave, motionless and silent.

Chameleos's eyesight seemed to be poor as well; it didn't see any humans in the cave at all, and the smell was likely masked by the pungent odor emanating from the recently extinguished fire in the cave, so it failed to spot Li Wei and Bao Ling.

After staying at the entrance of the cave for a few minutes, it began to move into the cave.

Upon seeing this, Li Wei instantly realized: Could this be Chameleos's lair?

He had chosen this secluded place to hide with the heavily injured Bao Ling, never expecting to stumble upon the lair of the Chameleos.

What should we do next?

Li Wei didn't know

But no matter what, Xia must not discover Bao Ling presence, nor can they get too close to it, otherwise they will be hypnotized.

Suddenly, Li Wei's eyes lit up.

Seeing that Chameleos was about to enter the cave, Li Wei carried Bao Ling, and the two slowly moved into the cave. Fortunately, there were some side passages in the cave, although they were all dead ends, but hiding two people was not a problem.

At a fork in the road, Li Wei took Bao Ling.

"Don't speak, and don't make any sound," Li Wei said, his lips almost touching Bao Ling's ear.

Bao Ling knew the situation was serious, so she no longer cared about not being dressed. She nodded first, then pressed her lips to Li Wei's ear.

"So what should we do now?" The voice, hot with breath, wafted into Li Wei's ear, making him feel unbearably itchy.

"I have my own way," Li Wei said softly, glancing at the woman's body, which was almost pressed against him, her soft breasts slightly deformed by the pressure. He swallowed hard.

Then, Li Wei summoned the Black Paper.

He remembered that in the world of Jin Yong's quests, he had once obtained a poison called "Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder" by chance.

This poison is extremely potent. Not only is it colorless and odorless, but once ingested, it causes the entire body to become weak and paralyzed—essentially paralyzed for a short period. Most importantly, during the poisoning period, one cannot circulate internal energy or engage in strenuous exercise, otherwise their life will be in danger. In Li Wei's view, this poison is essentially a powerful anesthetic. Although he possesses this poison, he has never had the opportunity to use it until now, when he suddenly remembers that he still has this poison-related tool.

I wonder if the monsters of this world will be affected?

Li Wei had the idea of giving it a try. Although the Chameleos was large, he could simply increase the dosage. However, figuring out how to get this big guy to take the medicine was a more troublesome problem.

Fortunately, Li Wei quickly came up with a solution.

While Bao Ling was unconscious, Li Wei used a barbecue grill he bought in the Hunter Village to grill some meat, including some 'perfect' pieces. The grilled meat was incredibly fragrant and delicious, but because he grilled too much, Li Wei stored some in his storage space. So, if he mixed a potent anesthetic like 'Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder' into the grilled meat, would the Chameleos eat it?

Will the Chameleos eat it?

Li Wei was more than half certain about this problem; the opponent would eat it. No matter how powerful he was, he was just a monster acting on instinct.

Does the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder miraculous effects?

Li Wei couldn't guarantee it, but the chances of it working were high, at least 50%. And if he succeeded, he could kill the Chameleos and obtain high-level materials.

After struggling internally for a while, Li Wei finally decided to do it.

"Do me a favor," Li Wei whispered, pressing his lips to Bao Ling's ear again. The girl blushed and simply nodded.

First, Li Wei took out the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder and handed it to Bao Ling. Then, Li Wei quickly took out the Perfect Roasted Meat and, together with Bao Ling, poured the entire bottle of Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder onto it.

"It's done!" Li Wei smiled as he saw the successfully made 'poisoned roasted meat'.

He then tiptoed over and forcefully tossed the roasted meat towards the cave entrance. The piece of meat, weighing at least several tens of kilograms, landed in the grass near the cave entrance.

"Success or failure depends on this," Li Wei and Bao Ling said, hiding one after the other in a side passage of the cave, carefully watching the Chameleos that had begun to rest inside.

The latter clearly smelled the aroma of the roasted meat. As a dragon species, its sense of smell was extremely sensitive, so it immediately used its nose to clean itself. As soon as static electricity flashed across its skin, the Chameleos's environmental camouflage ability disappeared, revealing its true form to Li Wei and Bao Ling.

This is absolutely ugly.

Even the Rathian is a hundred times more beautiful. This Chameleos's skin is covered in fine, soft scales, as if coated with a special substance, giving it a shimmering, iridescent appearance. These soft scales are probably the reason it can change color depending on its environment.

Its wings were also very small. At this moment, the strange dragon tilted its neck back, and its tongue, like that of a frog, stretched out far with lightning speed. In an instant, it wrapped the roasted meat that Li Wei threw out onto its tongue, and then opened its mouth wide to chew and eat it.

"Great, it really ate the roast meat!" Li Wei was in high spirits. Now, all he had to do was wait and see if the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder would take effect.
