Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 15 The second solution is also a solution

His eyes scanned back and forth under the bamboo hat, silently calculating the distance between the two sides. When the two puppy dragons approached within three meters, Lin Lin narrowed his eyes slightly.

He took a step forward with his right foot, holding the shield in front of him, and inserted the sword in his left hand into the mechanism in the center of the heavy shield. With an extremely slight clicking vibration, the hilt of the sword in his left hand was suddenly pulled back, and his body rotated to the left with this force. The right arm slid out of the shield buckle, and the inertia brought by the heavy weight caused the shield to slide outward on the sword, and was finally locked in position by the mechanism at the end. With this force, the heavy shield was unfolded outward, completely exposing the sharp edge of the axe blade.

When Lin Lin's body turned back to normal again, the sword and shield had become one, turning into a long-handled axe, which used the force of rotation to smash hard at the little dragon dog on the right.

The two little dragon dogs kept their attention focused on Lin Lin. Although they were startled by the sudden lengthening of their opponent's "claws", their reactions were not slow. The little dragon dog that was locked on quickly jumped back to avoid the sharp edge and watched the heavy weapon fall in front of them.

The opponent's attack missed, and the two little dragon dogs immediately pounced forward excitedly. However, Lin Lin did not dodge or block. Instead, he gritted his teeth and exerted force with his right foot. The force was transmitted to his hands along his waist and abdomen. His right hand exerted force in a circle, and his left hand held steadily. The heavy axe rose at a speed that was no less than the previous one, and hit the fragile abdomen of the little dragon dog jumping in the air, and directly lifted it out.

The sharp axe blade cut open its skin without any hindrance, and the blood and intestines were freed from their restraints and spilled all over the ground from mid-air. When the little dragon dog fell to the ground, it could only make a weak whine and no longer had the strength to stand up.

But now Lin Lin didn't pay any attention to this little dragon dog, because another little dragon dog had taken this opportunity to rush in front of him, with its mouth facing his throat. He didn't dare to be distracted at all.

Lowering his head slightly, he used the wide brim of his Jieyun hat to protect his vital parts. While the force of the Shanglao Zhan had not yet dissipated, Lin Lin used this force to swing the giant axe horizontally. While the puppy dragon's teeth left several small gaps on the hat, the middle section of the axe handle extended from the internal mechanism of the shield and hit the puppy dragon's back, causing it to involuntarily take two steps back.

However, this is not the end. The kinetic energy accumulated from the swing of the axe blade is still within Lin Lin's control. Even though his arms feel sore and weak due to the continuous burst of power in a short period of time, Lin Lin still tries his best to use inertia to continue swinging the shield axe.

The handle of the shield axe, which was deformed by the internal mechanism of the shield, was not very sharp, so the first swing did not cause much damage to it. However, due to the distance created by its two steps back, the blade of the axe in the second swing just happened to cut its neck.

The sharp axe blade, with the dual blessing of heavy force and high speed, swept across the puppy dragon's neck like using a knife to cut pig skin jelly, easily splitting it in two with almost no resistance, causing a stunned head to soar into the sky and a small blood fountain to appear here.

However, at this moment, Lin Lin had no time to pay attention to the little dragon dog whose head he had beheaded, because the strength he had barely used to lift the axe was no longer enough to control the kinetic energy accumulated by the shield axe. First, his right hand softened and let go of the axe handle, and then his left hand's effort to grab the end of the axe handle also failed. He only had time to swing the shield axe backwards.

The heavy shield axe suddenly flew out of his hand, and the axe head was embedded nearly halfway into the soil before it completely unloaded the kinetic energy it carried. It lay there quietly, waiting for its owner to pick it up.

Lin Lin's arms, limp and weak, hung at his sides. A closer look revealed a slight tremor. He gasped for air, a flicker of fear in his eyes.

It’s not that I’m afraid of the attack from the puppy dragon, but I’m afraid of killing myself.

Fortunately, he managed to control the direction of the shield axe at the last moment, so that it just flew out of his hand instead of flying out while spinning. Otherwise, he would probably become the first hunter in history to be killed by his own weapon.

It was really too thrilling. He had just used the Second Sister (Attribute Liberation Slash II), but he couldn't control it. The subsequent more powerful Great Release (High-output Attribute Liberation Slash) and Super Release (Super High-output Attribute Liberation Slash) would only require higher physical strength and flexibility. I'm afraid he can't think about it for the time being.

He had tried all kinds of moves when he got the shield axe, and he felt that he was quite good at it, but problems were still exposed in actual combat. His physical strength did not support him to use powerful moves at will when fighting at full strength. Fortunately, he was only facing a puppy dragon this time. If he discovered this when fighting a large monster, it would be too fatal.

When his heavy breathing gradually subsided, Lin Lin silently pulled out the shield axe from the ground, pressed the mechanism to split it into a sword and shield form, and turned his back. He silently made up his mind that he must start physical training after returning. As long as he made up for the shortcomings in his physical fitness, he would never be as embarrassed as today when using his second sister.

Looking up at the bright moon that seemed so close at hand, and the twinkling stars in the night sky, Lin Lin hurriedly stripped the still intact high-value materials from the corpses of several puppy dragons, and headed straight for the nearest stream.

Having fully learned the lesson from the last time when he was chased by a group of dogs and dragons after killing a wild boar, Lin Lin could not go out in the wild with the smell of blood on his body. Although he was soaked and the night wind brought a bone-chilling chill, he still carefully washed every drop of blood on his weapons, and then hurried back to the hunter camp halfway up the mountain.

Although he had not yet reached the number of beasts required by the commission, Lin Lin decided to retreat temporarily to rest. Hunting was too dangerous with his physical strength almost exhausted. If he ran into the dog dragon leader head-on, he could only pray that he would be lucky enough not to be killed if he jumped off the cliff again.

He returned to the sheltered camp and lit the bonfire again. In order to avoid catching a cold, he took off his wet Jieyun suit and put it aside to dry. He only wore shorts and felt the heat from the bonfire. His thoughts suddenly went back to the time when he and Xiong Er sat by the bonfire and ate grilled fish.

I don't know how Xiong Er has been doing lately. I'll see if I can collect some honey while I complete the commission, and then go to the lake to see him...

Lin Lin took out the second piece of food from the package and chewed it with great effort. He couldn't help but miss that time even more. Woo… The roasted fish smelled so fragrant, and the smell of honey was so sweet…
