Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 125 Heavy Rain
Iwata was already quite familiar with the job of peeling dates, so there was no pressure in teaching him. Not long after, Iwata completed his first peeling job in his life, peeling off the not-so-complete skin of a large wild boar.

The edges of the pig skin were cut crookedly, and its value would be greatly reduced if it were sold. However, Lin Lin just took a look and said nothing.

After all, compared to when he cut a piece of pig skin into pieces, Iwata did a pretty good job.

After peeling the skin, the next step is to remove the meat and bones. Since this is a teaching method, Jujube explained it in great detail, as if he wanted to dismantle the pig into parts and take them all away.

Lin Lin looked up at the dark clouds in the distance, estimated the distance, and couldn't help but turn back to urge:
"That's about it. Judging from the weather, it might rain soon. Let's go back to camp for now."

Iwata wiped the blood off his hands and asked in confusion:
"It's just raining, it won't have any impact, right? Why not just finish the mission in one go?"

He had just completed his first skinning of prey in his life and was very excited, but suddenly he said he wanted to retreat. Wasn't this like a bucket of cold water poured over his head?
Does rain have any impact on hunting?

Innocent!

Next, I want to mention a task: Ancient Tree Rainy Night Steel Dragon Five Purple One Cat Fifteen Minutes...

Lin Lin muttered inwardly, then shook his head:

"It's not just rainy days, it also includes sandstorms, thunderstorms, etc. If you don't have to, try to avoid such weather when hunting."

"In fact, to be more conservative, we should avoid nighttime battles whenever possible. These external environments will limit vision and reduce visibility, which in turn reduces our ability to perceive our surroundings. This is extremely dangerous when fighting monsters."

"All right……"

Iwata responded somewhat reluctantly. In fact, he still felt that hunting a wild boar was just a matter of fact, and there was no need to be so cautious. But since Lin Lin had said so, he could only listen.

Of course, what he didn't know was that Lin Lin made such a cautious decision because he was teaching. If he were hunting alone, with the kind of behavior that would involve clashing with earth and sand dragon carts and arm wrestling with wild boars, he would most likely rush forward with an "I don't care what you do."

The camp set up by the guild was a little far away, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get back before the rain started. So Lin Lin found a cave on a nearby cliff, lit a bonfire and took a short rest.

The stream area had plenty of water, with a light rain every three days and a heavy rain every five days. Both Lin Lin and Iwata were already used to it. Since they couldn't hunt in the rain, they could just warm themselves by the fire and wait for it to stop. It would only take a few hours anyway, and at most it would be over in one night.

"As a hunter, the ability to survive in the wild is also very important, and qualified barbecue skills are an indispensable part of this."

"I happen to have some freshly skinned wild boar meat here. Come on, let me see your cooking skills!"

Lin Lin stood aside with his shoulders folded, looking like a stern instructor.

Yezao looked at the busy Iwata, then at Lin Lin's serious face, and grumbled in a low voice:
"Why do I feel like the boss is just trying to be lazy, meow?"

Lin Lin almost couldn't maintain his serious expression. He secretly glanced at Iwata, and seeing that he didn't notice what Coconut Date said, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he rubbed Coconut Date's head viciously, directly rubbing its helmet crooked, and then grinned with satisfaction.

What the hell are you talking about, little kitty?
The wait didn't last long. With the powerful fire from the charcoal built into the barbecue grill, Iwata quickly finished the barbecue.

Well, if you ignore the appearance that looks not much different from charcoal, it can be called barbecue, just burnt.

Lin Lin held the charred steak in his hand, his mouth twitching. He looked at it for a long time but couldn't bring himself to eat it.

The date palm next to him couldn't stop laughing, "You deserve it, meow! You let the boss be lazy, meow!"

Iwata turned away slightly embarrassed, trying to defend himself: "It's not my fault. The firepower of a portable barbecue grill is much stronger than that of a normal cooking stove. It's normal that I can't control it well!" Lin Lin calmly put the charred meat aside and nodded seriously.
"It seems that the training camp's curriculum doesn't include how to grill meat, but that's okay. I'm your instructor now. Watch out, I'll only teach you once!"

Lin Lin set up the barbecue grill again and hummed a barbecue tune. He controlled the timing very precisely and lifted up the barbecue at the same time as the last note of the tune ended. The crispy golden surface of the steak was very tempting.

After taking a deep sniff of the aroma of the barbecue, Lin Lin tore off a piece and handed it to Juzao, then explained the so-called "barbecue song".

"At first, I didn't know who came up with it, but the short, cheerful tune itself makes people happy. Plus, the fire on the grill is quite strong, so the song is just the right length to grill this size of steak to perfection, so it gradually spread."

"The tune is pretty memorable, isn't it?"

Iwata nodded, "Indeed."

Lin Lin waved his hand, "Hey! Now that you've remembered it, start roasting it! You can eat it yourself after roasting it!"

Iwata:……

……

The heavy rain was still falling, and lightning flashed in the clouds. Lin Lin looked at the dark sky and frowned slightly.

"When will this rain stop? I don't want to eat the food I brought with me anymore..."

Iwata stood beside Lin Lin, looked at the dense rain, and rubbed his mouth.

This time the rain lasted for an exceptionally long time. It had already been raining for two days and one night. Except for the piece of wild boar meat that was roasted into charcoal at the beginning, the rest had already been eaten by them. They had to rely on the food they carried with them for the second day.

"I feel like something's not right. I can't wait here any longer."

"Let's go back to the village."

"Ah? Are you giving up the mission?"

Iwata was a little unwilling. Although he did not take this task, in practical terms, this was indeed the first commission he participated in. How could it be abandoned for such an outrageous reason as weather?

Lin Lin paused. He was now facing a problem very similar to Kevin's.
This is a one-star commission that is not difficult at all. How can the 100% completion rate of the commission be broken just because of three wild boars?
"No, there are still two days left before the deadline. I don't intend to give up the mission."

"Then you still want to go back to the village?"

Lin Lin glanced at him and said, "Under the current circumstances, the original teaching plan can only be cancelled. I can only escort you back."

"If I take a rookie like you hunting in a rainstorm, I'm really worried about your safety."

"Didn't you say before that hunting should avoid weather like this as much as possible?"

Lin Lin was silent for a moment, then searched his memory for a suitable answer:
"Can that be the same?"
