Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 135 The Genius Girl and the Tang Umbrella Monster

"Okay, if you go out from here, you will reach the Abandoned Shrine, and if you go through here, you will reach Flame Village. I wish you a safe journey!"

Ni Tai waved to Lin Lin and his group, indicating that he would still be stationed in the fortress and be vigilant of any changes in the surrounding ecology. Then he pulled up the Kinsect and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.

"Is this the Kinsect you were talking about? It certainly looks like a good thing. If it could be used in hunting, it would definitely greatly improve agility."

"really."

Lin Lin nodded. "But I think the katana itself is already flexible enough. With the Kinsect, be careful with the Dragon Climb hurdle, the Full Moon going to jail, and the Kamui changing zones..."

Brave was confused: "What are you talking about?"

Lin Lin suppressed a laugh and shook his head, "No, it's nothing. Let's go and see if we can meet the colorful bird at the abandoned shrine."

Brave didn't pay any attention to the inexplicable words Lin Lin just said, but seriously thought about the possibility of hunting colorful birds:
"Based on the rainfall in the stream area, I'm afraid many monsters will choose to change their habitats. I think the chances of us encountering a colorful bird are quite high."

"Really? I hope so..."

Lin Lin shrugged and didn't care much. If he met someone, he would fight. If he didn't meet someone, he would continue on his way. Anyway, it was not his mission.

……

In the abandoned shrine area, next to a high waterfall, several elf deer were drinking water with their heads down, their ears moving constantly and alertly, listening to all the movements around them.

"Whoosh-"

Noticing the sound of breaking wind overhead, several elf deer quickly raised their heads and saw the big bird slowly descending. They immediately turned their heads and fled in all directions with the stampede of their four hooves.

Its feathers are black and white, and its swollen crest and the tips of its wings are bright scarlet. When it flies in the air, it looks like an open Tang umbrella.

This is an umbrella bird.

The umbrella bird landed beside the stream below the waterfall, and paid no attention to the elf deer that were running away. Instead, it pecked at the clear river water and drank from it.

Suddenly, the umbrella bird's distracted gaze was attracted by something, and it subconsciously followed the leaping figure until the shadow was close to its face.

Umbrella Bird:?
Before the doubts faded away, the umbrella bird felt a sudden pain where the shadow was approaching, as if it had been bitten hard by an insect, and it was possible that the bite had caused it to bleed directly.

The umbrella bird shook its head vigorously and finally shook off the culprit that caused the pain.

Looking closely, it really is a bug!

This insect is about the size of a palm, with a bright red shell, a pair of blue compound eyes, and a large horn on its head that looks majestic and slender compared to its body. The buzzing sound made when its wings vibrate is low and full of vibration, making it look like some kind of rhinoceros beetle.

However, the umbrella bird didn't bother to observe what the insect looked like. After confirming that it was the insect that dared to attack it, it pecked it angrily.

The rhinoceros beetle seemed to be flying slowly and clumsily, but at the moment when the bird's beak pecked at it, it suddenly burst out at a speed that was extremely inconsistent with its body shape, and dodged the peck by twisting its body.

After missing the attack, the umbrella bird turned its head and followed the rhinoceros beetle's figure closely with its small yellow eyes. Naturally, it saw the insect fly into the hands of a girl wearing blue clothes and a long scarf around her neck.

"strengthen!"

The girl raised her hand to catch the bright red rhinoceros beetle and pressed it onto her right arm.

Then, the essence she had just collected from the insect hunt was infused into the girl, and a faint, hazy red light emanated from her body. "Oh, the power is surging!"

Immediately afterwards, the girl pulled out the long stick from behind her and stared at the tall figure walking towards her, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Come on! Tang Umbrella Monster! I'm not afraid of you! I'm a genius girl!"

The Umbrella Bird looked at the tiny human figure, stood on one leg, suddenly spread its wings, and let out a very loud roar.

Although it seemed that a random peck would be enough to end the life of such a weak creature, the umbrella bird still habitually let out a threatening roar first.

Of course, regardless of whether the deterrence is successful or not, the fight will definitely happen after the call is made.

"Ugh!"

The umbrella bird's voice was quite loud, and the girl had to cover her ears with both hands, trying hard to endure the dizzying noise.

However, the rhinoceros beetle lying quietly on the girl's arm did not seem to be affected by the noise. It vibrated its wings on its own and flew up to bite the umbrella bird on its open wings.

After the umbrella bird finished its roar, the red rhinoceros beetle flew back to its owner's arm and injected the essence it had just absorbed into the girl's body. A faint white light then appeared on the girl's body.

The injection of the white essence was very timely. The girl felt her body become much more agile all of a sudden. Finally, at the moment when the vermilion bird's beak was about to peck down, she dodged it with a sideways roll just in the nick of time.

However, due to the special structure of the umbrella bird's head, each peck was powerful and heavy. Although it failed to hit the girl directly, the strong vibration still made her stagger twice.

Without thinking too much, the girl pointed the long stick in her hand to the ground at the moment she staggered, and took advantage of the momentum to fly into the air.

However, because of the stumble, the action of touching the ground with the long stick was not standard, so the girl flew up, but flew crookedly, flying right towards the umbrella bird in front of her.

As soon as the umbrella bird raised its head, it saw that this human was still trying to take advantage of it. Without thinking, it swung its wings like a palm-leaf fan and was about to slap her away.

Although the girl had little combat experience and looked very immature, her reaction speed and eyesight were quite good.

At this critical moment, she swung her hand and threw a bright green flying insect backwards, and then she moved backwards with the help of the tough translucent silk thread spit out by the flying insect, narrowly avoiding the flapping of the wings.

The girl rolled in the air and adjusted her posture. After landing, she just took two steps back to relieve the impact and once again confronted the big bird.

Although she had experienced several thrilling (one-sided) confrontations, the girl was not frightened. After adjusting her breath slightly, she rushed forward again with a long stick.

"Go, Xiaojia, bring back another sip of the yellow one!"

When the girl charged, she raised her hand and the rhinoceros beetle flew out first, followed closely by the girl. The two attacked the left and right sides of the umbrella bird respectively.

Although it hurts when a bird is bitten by an insect, there is no doubt that a slightly larger human is more threatening than that human.

Then the umbrella bird flapped its wings again to drive away the girl who tried to approach, and was bitten on the side again.

When the rhinoceros beetle flew back, an orange-yellow light appeared on the girl's body. The three colors of light intertwined with each other, bringing a wonderful sense of power. The girl felt that she was now terrifyingly strong.

At this moment, the umbrella bird seemed to notice something, listened for a moment, and then no longer paid attention to the girl in front of it, and flapped its wings and flew away.
