Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 133 Jade Leaf Fortress
The next day, early in the morning.

In the misty rain, Brave saw a very simple cart at the entrance of the village. The maru bird pulling the cart was constantly combing its wet feathers with its beak.

"Are you ready? Then let's go!"

Lin Lin climbed onto the cart, then turned around and pulled Brave up as well.

"This damn weather..."

Brave pressed his alloy helmet, feeling the cold rain seeping in from the cracks, and muttered something in dissatisfaction.

"What are you dressing up like?"

He pulled off his mask, wiped his face, then glanced around and suddenly found that Lin Lin's appearance was a little different.

"What's so strange about that? I just replaced the helmet with a cloud-shaped hat..."

Lin Lin reached out to adjust his hat, his eyes sweeping across a tiny gap at the front edge where the rain gathered into a line and flowed down.

If I had known that there would be a day when I would need to use the Jieyun hat again, I should have taken it to a workshop to repair it.

"It's not really that strange, it's just that this combination is quite... awkward."

Brave originally wanted to say ugly, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he hesitated a little and changed his words to a more tactful one.

"I also think the design doesn't match, but having the helmet filled with water is more uncomfortable."

Brave touched his helmet and fell silent.

So, in the continuous rainstorm that seemed to never stop, a round bird was pulling two people in a cart in front, and a yellow speed dragon king was following closely behind with a cat. The figures of the group gradually blurred and disappeared in the rain.

"Tread" "Tread"

The giant bear with dark blue hair looked at the figure that was already going away and let out a low roar from its throat. Then, it shook its body, shook off a lot of water droplets, turned around and walked slowly to the other side.

The beast's instinct told it that something was happening, bringing a vague sense of oppression, and it needed to seize the time to become stronger.

……

Five days later.

As we gradually moved away from the stream area, the continuous rain curtain gradually turned into hazy rain threads and finally turned into morning mist.

Lin Lin had already changed his hat back into a sand dragon helmet. He was now sitting in the car, looking around at the surrounding terrain, then unfolded the map and carefully identified their location.

"The heavy rain has slowed down our progress. If the weather were normal, we would have passed the abandoned shrine by now and would be almost at Flame Village."

Brave came over to take a look at the map. "So we're just getting to the vicinity of Jade Leaf Fortress now?"

"Where is the fortress? Why can't I see it?"

Lin Lin pointed to the distance and said, "Isn't that it? The dark place between the two mountains should be the Feiye Fortress." "That's it? Isn't it said that the fortress was built to resist the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons? It doesn't look very impressive. I thought it would be magnificent!"

"Although these two mountains are not as tall as the Spiritual Peak, they are even more precipitous. Ordinary monsters simply cannot cross them and can only pass through the valley where they meet. Isn't this a natural fortress?"

"As long as a large number of combat facilities are deployed in the valley, even ordinary villagers with little training can use the terrain and weapons to repel some not-so-strong monsters."

Lin Lin put away the map, jumped out of the car, and made a gesture behind him.

"Let's go. After passing this fortress, we will reach the Wasted God Community area. The road here is no longer muddy and difficult to walk on. If we move quickly, we can reach Yanhuo Village before nightfall."

Brave jumped down, reached out to take Marunori's reins, and quickened his pace with it.

If we continue like before and let this guy travel slowly, I'm afraid the journey that could be completed in one day will be delayed to two days.

They don't have much time, and no one knows when the hidden danger in Jieyun Village will erupt. The less time they waste, the better.

Lin Lin slowed down his pace a little and waited until Coconut Date, sitting on Tiao Tiao's back, caught up with him before he walked forward side by side with them.

Looking at the Maru Bird in front of him, who seemed to be leisurely no matter how Brave dragged him, and who hurriedly quickened his pace without being urged after sensing the approaching breath of a predator, Lin Lin couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

It seems that the previous decision to let Date and Tiaotiao keep a distance for fear of scaring the Marunori was not so correct. If they had followed closer, maybe a lot of time could have been saved on the road.

"Oh! This is the Feiye Fortress! There's a whole new world inside!"

Brave held the shivering Maruniao and looked at the surrounding furnishings with interest.

It cannot be seen from the outside, but in fact, the interior of this fortress can really be described as "full of martial virtues". High platforms made of knotty cloud wood can be seen everywhere, and on the platforms are defensive facilities such as heavy crossbows, artillery, etc. There are also some weapons that he does not recognize but Lin Lin seems to know, such as "rapid-fire cannons" and "fixed dragon flame turrets". These weapons look very high-tech. What's more, he also saw several platforms equipped with dragon-slaying spears and dragon-destroying cannons!
That wasn't just any cabbage, but a Dragon-Slaying Spear or Dragon-Slaying Cannon, a weapon that could pose a significant threat to even ancient dragons! It was a weapon that would be used to decide the outcome of any large-scale battle, and yet it existed in plural numbers here?
Lin Lin walked beside them with Tiao Tiao, comparing what he saw with what he remembered from the game, and making serious comments.

"They have fewer Dragon-Slaying Spears than I expected. I thought I'd see a platform with Dragon-Slaying Spears on three sides..."

Brave couldn't help but complain, "What are you dreaming about? Being able to be armed with multiple dragon-slaying spears is already outrageous, okay? With this kind of defense, if that mountain dragon comes, I'm afraid it won't be able to get through."

Lin Lin smiled and said nothing. He just pointed at the towering black barrel and said, "How do you know that's the Dragon Slayer Cannon? Why do I feel like it should be called the Dragon Breaker Cannon?"

Brave pulled Marutori, who was trying to get away from Tiaotiao, and said as a matter of course:
"Although I've never been to East Dorma, I've heard a little bit about the battle streets there. I heard there's a dragon-slaying cannon that's used in conjunction with high-density dragon-slaying carbon. It's a decisive weapon in battles against ancient dragons. Doesn't this thing look like the same thing?"

Is that right?

Lin Lin touched his chin. He was so busy killing monsters while playing the game that he didn't pay attention to these details at all. He even had no idea whether there was a dragon-slaying cannon in the battle street of East Doruma.

"Speaking of which, why haven't we seen anyone after walking so far? Didn't Yanhuo Village build this fortress to prevent the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons? There's no one guarding it. What if a monster appears?"

Lin Lin looked up at the "line of sky" above, where there were several rather tiny shadows circling.

He smiled and said, "Maybe they have already discovered us."
