Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 123 Field Training
Since Lin Lin was completely brought up by Kevin and Rachel, two senior hunters, in the "old leading new" way, and had never experienced complete hunter training in the training camp, for Brave, in addition to physical training, the best method he could think of was on-site teaching.

He didn't know the training methods in the training camp, but he was very familiar with how the old teachers led the new ones. Last night, when Iwata was tired and rolled his eyes after running with weights, he ran to the gathering place to find Konoha to accept a one-star commission to subdue a wild boar. He planned to take Iwata to the hunting ground to see some blood today.

It is not appropriate to let him participate in hunting for the time being, but it is okay to let him watch and have a direct impression of the hunter's hunting.

Lin Lin reviewed his training plan in his mind as he strode out of the village - the formalities had been completed last night, so he could set off directly now.

"Boss, wait for me, meow!"

Coconut Date caught up in three or two steps and jumped onto Lin Lin's shoulder.

"Huh? Are you going too?"

"I have to learn a lot from the boss, meow!"

Lin Lin's smile was a little hard to suppress. Coconut dates really knew how to give emotional value. Looking at Iwata next to him, who was taking deep breaths and mumbling something under his breath, tsk, what a contrast...

"What are you talking to yourself about?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing. I'm just a little nervous because we're about to enter the hunting grounds."

Lin Lin was slightly stunned. Does one need to prepare oneself mentally before entering the wild?

Think about himself, at the beginning... Well, he was thrown directly into the wild, and all his thoughts were focused on how to survive. Naturally, he didn't need to do any mental preparation, so when he later met Xiong Er, most of the pressure of survival was gone, and living in the wild became commonplace, and he completely adapted to it.

"Relax, there's no need to be nervous. Haven't you left the village to chop down trees before? It's no different than that. The only difference today is that we're chopping down monsters instead of trees."

Lin Lin paused, and seeing that Iwata was still not at peace, he couldn't help but add:
"Besides, I'm the one killing monsters, why are you so nervous?"

Iwata:……

Come to think of it, it seems so?
He gathered himself and glanced back at the entrance to Jieyun Village. He carefully reviewed what he had learned in the training camp and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Are we just going to go hunting? Don't we need to prepare anything?"

"Of course not. Who goes hunting without good supplies? Although melee hunters are relatively less dependent on supplies, medicine, food, and whetstones for sharpening weapons are all essential. We're heading to a camp now."

Lin Lin paused, then turned to look at Iwata. "You're planning on going for a close combat, right?"

Iwata rolled his eyes speechlessly and pointed at the shield tied to his right arm and the short sword stuck at his waist. This was the training weapon chosen for him by the "ghost instructor", a one-handed sword called [Gu Jieyun One-Handed Sword].

"Does this weapon look like it can be used for long-range attacks?"

Lin Lin chuckled. "What I mean is, have you decided which weapon you're going to use from now on? Or are you planning on sticking with the one-handed sword?"

Iwata shook his head. Even though he had been diligently training, he had only recently reached the standard to practice his moves with weapons. It was a bit too early to choose the weapons he would use in the future.

"It's okay, take your time to think about it, there's no need to rush."

While they were talking, the bushes in front of them suddenly rustled. Iwata noticed the movement and his expression suddenly became nervous. He subconsciously put his hands behind his waist so that he could draw his weapon at any time.

"The reaction is quite alert, not bad." Lin Lin commented with his hands folded.

Iwata looked at the large head that popped out from the bushes ahead, and his voice changed tone with nervousness:

"You, you won't take action?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Iwata saw Lin Lin walking towards him and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although I am reluctant to admit it, this peer who is walking very fast on the hunter's road can indeed bring a strong sense of security.

But the next moment, Iwata's breath was stuck before he could even exhale halfway.

He looked in astonishment as Lin Lin walked up to the monster that emerged from the bushes, reached out and rubbed the crown-shaped protrusion on its head. The nearly three-meter-tall monster actually squinted its eyes and rubbed its head against Lin Lin's palm with considerable enjoyment.

This world must be crazy...

Iwata stood there in a daze until Lin Lin, who was walking side by side with the monster in front of him, turned around and greeted him. Only then did he barely recover from his petrified state.

Not daring to approach the monster, Iwata stood on the other side of Lin Lin, looking at it curiously.

"What's going on? Didn't you say you were going to the camp?"

"Yeah, isn't that it?"

Lin Lin pointed forward, and Iwata discovered that there was a tent standing in the open space in the middle of the lawn in front, but it seemed to be smaller than the tent built by the guild in the hunting ground.

But building it here is too strange, isn't it? This place is neither hidden nor strategic. Monsters could destroy it at any time, just like the monster standing on the other side of Lin Lin...

Coconut Date jumped from Lin Lin's back onto Tiao Tiao's. Looking at Iwata, whose worldview had been shattered, it spoke helplessly:
"Boss, please stop provoking Iwata to satisfy your evil tastes, meow..."

"Cough cough."

Lin Lin coughed dryly, the smile on his lips harder to suppress than AK, because this was really fun...

Coconut Date shook his head and explained briefly to Iwata:
"This is Jumpy Meow, the yellow speed dragon meow that the boss brought back from Rocklark. Although it's a monster, it's actually our hunting partner!"

Lin Lin reached out and helped Iwata close his jaw, then shook him, "Hey, come back to your senses!"

"I'll tell you about this when we get back. Let's get down to business first and get the supplies ready."

Just as Lin Lin said, melee hunters need to prepare very few things. Considering the difficulty of the task itself and the fact that most of the large monsters near Jieyun Village have been driven away by Xiong Er, bringing three bottles of recovery medicine is enough for emergencies.

The wild boars they were hunting were plentiful and widespread, so they didn't have to travel far to complete the task. A single round trip in a day was more than enough. However, Lin Lin's primary purpose this time was teaching, not completing the task. Wilderness survival was also a crucial lesson, so at Lin Lin's request, each of them brought enough food for three days.

Apart from that, there is really nothing else to prepare. Whetstones are not consumables that become less and less as time goes by, so two pieces are enough.
