Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 124: Knock Over the Wild Boar with Bare Hands

Lin Lin set off with Yezao and Iwata. Tiaotiao originally wanted to follow, but if Tiaotiao also came, hunting would be easier, but it was unknown how effective his teaching would be. In desperation, Tiaotiao could only be left in the camp by Lin Lin with a wronged look on his face.

"To complete the hunt, you must first find the target."

"It sounds like nonsense, but in fact, many times, this is the most difficult part of a hunt."

Lin Lin handed the map to Iwata and said, "Let me test you. We want to hunt a wild boar. Where should we search?"

Iwata secretly rolled his eyes, letting this guy pretend...

However, despite his pretense, Iwata knew that what Lin Lin was going to teach now was different from previous training camps, and it was something that could actually be used in the hunting ground.

So he thought hard and then pointed somewhere on the map.

"I think we can look for it in this abandoned logging site. I've been here before when I was cutting trees and I saw a big wild boar there."

Lin Lin nodded, said nothing, and turned to look at Coconut Date, "What do you think?"

Coconut Date was stunned for a moment, then pointed uncertainly at another part of the forest and said, "Maybe I should go this way first?"

Lin Lin asked with great interest, "What's the reason?"

Coconut Date thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head. "It's just my intuition... If I had to give you a reason, it might be because the forest has more abundant food resources, meow?"

Lin Lin reached out and rubbed Yezao's head, "The direction is correct."

"Generally speaking, if you want to find the target monster to hunt, it's best to start with its ecological habits."

"Take wild boars as an example. Although they are omnivorous, their favorite food is mushrooms. So starting with food, a humid forest environment like this is very suitable for mushroom growth and is indeed a very suitable choice."

Lin Lin then turned to look at Iwata, "What I just said is just the general situation. As hunters, we don't always hunt in familiar hunting grounds. In this case, it's easier to analyze the ecological habits and avoid any omissions."

"For example, this time, the hunting environment is very familiar to you. You may have even seen the target at that abandoned logging site before. So, the task is very simple. Just go over there and search for traces and start tracking."

"Of course, there's another important premise behind this choice. Even though the logging camp is abandoned, it's still quite open, making it much easier to search than a complex forest. Starting the search from the logging camp can save a lot of effort."

No matter how hands-on the teaching is in the training camp, it can never be as profound as the personal experience.

Just like now, after Lin Lin said this, Iwata realized that there are so many ways to search before finding the monster.

Climbing mountains and wading through water all the way, although it sounds hard and tiring, Iwata is originally from Jieyun Village. This kind of road is commonplace for him. He has long been accustomed to it and naturally does not find it hard.

Although Lin Lin's equipment was quite heavy, his physical fitness was quite good. In addition, he had trekked in the desert for nearly a month and had already adapted to the weight on his body. Naturally, this distance was nothing to him.

Although Date's physique is not as good and his equipment is heavier, he is a Felynx and has racial advantages. For him, such a mountain road is almost the same as a flat road.

At midday that day, Lin Lin and his party arrived at the place marked as "abandoned logging site" on the map.

This was a gentle slope halfway up a mountain. It might once have been covered in dense forest, but to build this lumberyard, most of the trees had been felled, leaving only the growth rings on the stumps to tell of the passage of time. In the center of this vast field stood a massive wooden building, even as large as the village meeting house. However, the ground seemed to have collapsed, burying the lower half of the building underground, leaving only the round, tower-like spire above exposed.

"Now I know why it was abandoned..."

Lin Lin complained, his eyes swept across the most eye-catching abandoned building, and then he paused slightly beside a fallen cloud-shaped tree in the distance.

It was a large pig with brown-black fur, and its curved tusks looked quite sharp.

"I'm lucky. I met one right after I arrived."

Lin Lin waved his hand to signal Iwata and Yezao to step back, stretched his hands and feet, and walked up alone.

Is it finally time to fight?
Iwata took Jujube and found a thick enough wooden stake to hide behind. Then he widened his eyes with anticipation, held his breath, and prepared to see what kind of moves and skills Lin Lin would demonstrate.

After all, both the one-handed sword and the shield axe use one hand to carry a sword and the other to carry a shield, so their moves should be interchangeable, right?

Then, Iwata, who was full of anticipation, saw Lin Lin rushing forward with big strides, his two hands stretched out like lightning, and grabbed the two tusks of the wild boar.

Iwata:? ? ?
Lin Lin tightly grasped the wild boar's tusks, which made the big boar opposite anxious. It supported the ground with all four legs and tensed its muscles, trying to shake its neck to break free from the grip of this hateful guy.

Lin Lin clenched his teeth, feeling the power transmitted back from his hands, and his muscles tensed.

"Drink!"

Lin Lin exerted force suddenly, and his feet suddenly embedded into the ground one or two centimeters. Then he used his legs to move his waist, and his waist to move his hands, and actually resisted the resistance of the wild boar and flipped it to the ground.

He stepped on the wild boar's head to make it difficult for it to struggle, then Lin Lin pulled out his hammer-like sword and stabbed it into the wild boar's throat.

"Phew... Done!"

Lin Lin shook off the blood on his sword, clapped his hands, turned around and called out in the direction where Iwata and Yezao were hiding:
"Solved, come here!"

"That's perfect. You teach Iwata how to peel the dates, and I'll keep you guys on guard."

Lin Lin seemed not to notice Iwata's non-human look, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

The reason why he didn't draw his weapon and fought the wild boar with his bare hands was mainly to test his current strength level - of course, he dared to do so because he was wearing this set of heavy earth and sand armor that gave him a strong sense of security.

As for the result, it was quite satisfactory. He only needed to exert some strength to knock the wild boar to the ground. This guy who had posed a fatal threat to him when he first crossed over was now no more than a toy to him.

Next, do you want to find a big wild boar king to test your strength?
Lin Lin was pondering this possibility when suddenly a roar came from the distant sky, which made him look up involuntarily.

"Tsk, it's going to rain, maybe even thunder..."
