Chewing, chewing.
While enjoying the cat food made by the chef cat, Kumoko curiously asked, "By the way, are there any delicious ingredients nearby?"
"Ingredients? Go straight out and you will see a swamp. The monster birds there are weak but taste very good. If you are interested, you can try it."
"Hey? Really?"
"Of course, it's true~ Every hunter has killed the big monster bird many times. By the way, this is for you."
The chef cat took out a decoration that looked like a cat's paw.
"What is this?"
"A token. If you are in danger, a meow will come to save you."
"?"
Kumoko looked at the ornament given by the other party and accepted it because it looked very cute.
"Delicious food~delicious food~"
Under the guidance of the chef cat and a group of hunters, Kumoko moved to the place where the big monster bird lived. This world is very big, but unfortunately, there are very few hunters.
There are only hundreds of hunters in the whole town, and those who can challenge high-level creatures are even rarer.
This time, Spider listened to the boasting of passers-by and enjoyed the food in the town. Considering that these foods could really improve her strength, Spider decided to take the traditional upgrade route and get some weak monsters in the game to improve her strength.
Her imagination was very beautiful. She bullies the weak in the game to improve her strength and continues to bully the weak in reality to improve her strength.
When she is very strong, she will kill the dragon that wants to eat her!
"Hahaha~ I am so smart!"
Kumoko laughed wildly and ran towards the habitat of the giant bird at the fastest speed.
According to the introduction of other hunters, the giant bird is gentle and usually moves in the depths of the forest. The swamp that the chef cat mentioned is just in the center of the jungle. This jungle is visited by hunters all year round. The threatening monsters have basically run away, leaving only the monster bird, which is not threatening and has a gentle personality.
"Let me see the intelligence! It's very weak, but you need to pay attention to the fireball attack. Except for the fireball attack, everything else is very weak..."
According to other hunters, the big monster bird is an omnivore but generally eats plants, usually humans, and other carnivorous prey. Because of its fast reproduction speed and low threat, it has become the target of hunting for all new hunters.
But if it is for newcomers, NPCs will definitely say that this monster is very powerful, and you need to prepare equipment and bring various foods. They will also ask you to cooperate with multiple people for the first time hunting it.
But Kumoko is very strong overall. According to the hunters' assessment, it is easy to suppress the big monster bird.
Soon, Kumoko found the big monster bird.
In the jungle, this big monster bird was looking for food, and its food was... a spider!
"???"
Kumoko suddenly had a bad feeling. When she was about to sneak attack, the big monster bird suddenly turned its head and looked at Kumoko. This was a big monster bird more than seven meters long.
The height was even two heads taller than the two-meter-tall Kumoko.
"So big! Is this thing weak?"
Kumoko clearly felt the desire in the eyes of this monster, the desire to see food.
Yian Kut-Ku is an omnivorous creature, and plants and insects are on its menu. And today, this big bird saw "food" it had never seen before.
A big white spider—this was a size it had never seen before, but compared with itself, Kumoko's body was still a lot smaller.
This made this big bird feel that it could do it.
"Wait, I'm here to hunt you, why am I being treated as prey?"
Kumoko was stunned for a moment and entered combat state.
She couldn't check the other party's stats through the system given to her by the evil god, but this big bird didn't put much pressure on her. The monsters in the dungeon could be eaten by herself, so why couldn't a mere big bird be easily captured?
The battle was about to break out. The big bird, for an old hunter, is not much different from a pheasant on the roadside. But for Kumoko, who had never seriously come into contact with the battles in this world, the big bird was like Margit the Fell Omen, a teacher-like existence.
The battle was about to start, and Kumoko used her own body to launch an attack.
She did not use venom because she was afraid that her venom would affect the taste of the giant bird. The seahorses she caught alone could make such delicious dishes. It was hard to imagine what kind of taste enjoyment this delicious-looking chicken could provide her.
Kumoko went up. She first dodged the giant bird's sprint and then opened her mouth to bite its neck.
If it were in the previous dungeon, she would have killed the monster. The monsters in the dungeon were very weak and could only attack simply. But the monsters in this world are not those weak monsters in the dungeon.
Yes, the monsters there have fought countless times to survive. But their battles are limited to their own kind, whereas the monsters in Monster Hunter are used to fighting different monsters and hunters alike.
At the same time, the giant bird, the Yian Kut-Ku existed as food, and this race had accumulated a lot of combat experience over the years, passed from gene to gene.
The giant bird that was dodged drifted in place, and a fireball instantly appeared in its mouth, ready to spit fireballs.
The giant bird, which was charging at the same time and shooting fireballs, made Kumoko react immediately.
She seemed to have underestimated the enemy. This monster might be more difficult to deal with than all the monsters she had encountered before.
The ones she had encountered before were either huge or numerous. She had never encountered a low-level monster like the giant bird that was flexible, accurate in aim, and had a variety of attack methods.
As for previous gaming experience? Please~ she remembers that she was a fan of otome games and RPG games. She did also play action games but rarely. She had only heard of and seen Monster Hunter but never played it.
If she had played it before, she would never underestimate the Yian Kut-Ku, because in the game, the Yian Kut-Ku is a real killer for rookies.
For the first generation of hunters, it's tail swing, wind pressure sprint, drifting on the spot, and spits fireballs is enough to give them PTSD.
Any attack is very difficult for rookies. As for veteran hunters? It would definitely not be pleasant to stand still and get beaten by the giant bird.
Due to insufficient intelligence and a slight underestimation of the enemy, Kumoko was defeated. She was not beaten to death but was severely beaten by the serial attacks of the giant bird.
"It hurts! Help me!"
She shouted for help, but her body exerted its speed and strength to the extreme and used all her skills.
This giant bird was very experienced and just hit Kumoko's head, but it didn't matter. Kumoko immediately retreated after the first attack and aimed her butt at the giant bird's body.
The spider silk was fired, and the spider silk that could easily imprison monsters was burned by the flames it sprayed at the moment it touched the giant bird.
At the same time, the Yian Kut-Ku, which was sprinting and spitting fire, approached Kumoko's belly and pecked her belly four times plus three consecutive fireballs, the ultimate guaranteed perfect combo.
In Kumoko's system, her own HP began to drop sharply.
