Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 150: Flame Breeding

Ailu carefully selected two Kinsect larvae in good condition from the insect nest, put them into two special insect boxes, and handed them to Lin Lin.

(The picture shows the insect nest in the Follower Square)

"If you want to use Kinsects in battle, you need to tame them from larvae. If you catch them directly as adults, they might still escape if they get the chance!"

Lin Lin took the insect box and looked down at the metallic green shell inside. His face fell.

It has to be domesticated from larvae. How long will it take?
I thought I could try researching insect techniques after getting the Kinsect...

"Kinsects are actually quite easy to tame. Their larval stage isn't very long, only a week or two, and their lifespan as adults is quite good for insects. If they don't get injured or die, they won't need to be replaced for a long time."

After giving Lin Lin some instructions on some matters to pay attention to when training the little firefly, the little Ailu named Firefly ran to find Sui Fengmin to discuss matters related to the promotion of Kinsect.

After all, what Lin Lin said before only gave a new idea. Before it is put into practice, its feasibility is still unknown.

Lin Lin got the Kinsect that he had been longing for for a long time. Although he could not use it in actual combat now, it could be considered as fulfilling his obsession. At this moment, he was smiling happily as he used his fingers to tease the little life in the insect box that was curiously exploring its surroundings.

Insects are generally not very intelligent, and the smaller they are, the more instinctive they are. The two Kinsects in his hand are only slightly stronger than flying beetles. Lin Lin can only feel some simple emotional changes.

Well, a little change in mood is fine. At least with Liuying's explanation just now, I will be more confident in raising this Kinsect.

After teasing the Kinsect larvae for a while, Lin Lin put away the insect box and went over his original plan in his mind again.

As for insect skills, now that I have the Kinsect, I can learn them slowly in the future. As for whether I can take the Kinsect away in the future, it depends on whether Yanhuo Village can develop an industrial chain specializing in the supply of Magatama grass nectar.

The Fang Hound was something I really wanted when I first became a hunter, but now that I have Tiaotiao, the Fang Hound seems to be able to take on most of the functions.

Make a set of protective gear for Tiaotiao. Now that Blade is willing to help, all we have to do is prepare the materials and wait quietly.

Fukuki Rabbit can scout his hunting grounds from the sky...

Lin Lin's eyes lit up and he looked at Huoya not far away. She didn't seem to be busy, so after leading Lin Lin over, she was teasing a few hounds in the square.

Tsk, look at those licking dogs, their tails are wagging like fans...

"Huh? Lin Lin, are you done?"

Seeing Lin Lin walking over, Huoya gently straightened the hair of a hound in front of her and stood up.

"Well... sort of, but I have something else I want to ask."

"Ask whatever you want, I'll tell you everything I know!"

Lin Lin clenched his fist and coughed pretentiously:
"I want to know, can I raise one of the Fukubi rabbits from Yanhuo Village?"

"Sure! Fukuki Rabbit is cute too!"

Huoya nodded without hesitation, which made Lin Lin's heart burn with joy.

Great! Full-map perspective is beckoning! When it comes to scouting monsters, even the New World's Guide Bugs are no match for Fukuki Rabbit!

"If I want to raise a Fukubi rabbit, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Huoya thought for a moment and began counting on her fingers.

"Not much, actually. Fukubi rabbits are very friendly! As long as you raise them from chicks, feed them every day, and take time to play with them, they'll naturally become good helpers for hunters when they grow up!" "It's just that transmitting information requires some training, but the hunters in Yanhuo Village usually teach them while playing with them, so it doesn't take much time."

Do we have to start cultivating from the larvae again?

Lin Lin curled his lips, but it was actually not difficult to understand. If you don't raise it from a young age, why should it listen to you and help you hunt?
"How long does it take to raise a Fukushima rabbit from a cub to an adult?"

Huoya blinked. It shouldn’t take long, right?
Ye Zi has raised the dog Afu since she was about seven or eight years old. Now... well, it has been nearly ten years, right?
Huh? Time flies so fast?

When Ye Zi was just born, she was just a little girl of five or six years old!
In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed. She has unknowingly entered adolescence. She always feels that the village has not changed at all compared to before.

——However, according to the standards of the dragon people, this youth period may last for another two or three hundred years.

"Fire Bud?"

Lin Lin's call brought Huoya back to her senses. She smiled sheepishly and said, "Sorry, I was distracted just now. Where were we talking about?"

Lin Lin didn't know what Huoya was thinking just now, so he had to repeat the question.

"About... about ten years?"

Lin Lin immediately dismissed the idea.

If it was a week or two like the Kinsect, or three or two months like the Fanghound, he could actually accept it, but if it took years, then Lin Lin had no choice but to give up.

It takes too long and he really doesn't have the energy to raise birds.

After two dry laughs, Lin Lin asked one last question:
"Um, I wonder where Yezi is being held in solitary confinement? I still have some of the materials on her Xiaobai!"

After sending those materials to Daofeng, Lin Lin should officially start practicing in seclusion - no, to cultivate the Kinsect in seclusion. I wonder how long Jieyun Village can hold on!

……

To Lin Lin's surprise, Ye Zi was actually very close to him last night, very close!

After all, the house he lives in now is the house that Ye Zi originally used as a warehouse, and Ye Zi’s hut is only separated from his by a wall!
Lin Lin blinked and glanced at Huo Ya who was giggling beside him, feeling a little embarrassed.

If I had discovered this yesterday, how could I have bothered to ask others for directions?

Taking a deep breath, Lin Lin took two steps forward and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

In the room, Ye Zi's listless response was heard. There was no trace of the spirit he had when he threatened during the previous chat: "Just kill the monsters."

Lin Lin felt deeply sympathetic towards the girl's plight, so he suppressed his laughter and spoke in as calm a voice as possible:
"It's me, Lin Lin."

"Brother Lin Lin!"

The listless voice suddenly became much louder, followed by a chaotic sound from inside the house, and finally a series of thumping footsteps approaching the door.

Just as he was about to open the door, the voice in the room suddenly stopped, followed by Ye Zi's tearful voice:

"Wuwuwu, Brother Lin Lin, I'm in solitary confinement now and can't open the door..."
