Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 152: Empty Solution is also a Solution

The days of practicing in seclusion... the days of cultivating feelings with the Kinsect in seclusion can even be described as boring.

Using the "food reward method" taught by Ye Zi, he gave guidance with sound, gestures and actions each time, and rewarded the Kinsect with some nectar of the Magatama Grass when it cooperated. Lin Lin quickly became familiar with the two little guys.

The two little creatures grew rapidly. In just a week or so, they had already undergone several molts and become adults capable of carrying tons of weight. Although their coordination was still a long way from achieving the "fully charged counterattack" that Lin Lin had longed for, they were able to achieve the simplest thing, such as launching a flying insect and causing Lin Lin to leap through the air.

——Even if you are extremely unfamiliar with flying, it means you can fly. It is a breakthrough from zero, which is cause for celebration.

In addition to the encouraging progress in taming the Kinsect, the small crossbow made by Date has also been progressing very smoothly after the last piece of the puzzle, the bowstring, was added. After several trips to the training ground in the village for debugging, it is only necessary to complete Tiao Tiao's armor so that it can be tested in actual combat.

And today, which was the tenth day after Lin Lin and his group arrived in Yanhuo Village, Lin Lin, who had been staying indoors for a long time, finally walked out of the room with Yezao and Tiaotiao.

Because Blade sent a message: Tiaotiao's armor is completed.

"Let Tiaotiao move around a bit and see how it goes. Is there anything else that needs adjusting?"

Blade put his hands on his hips, looked at the tall Tiaotiao in front of him, and breathed a sigh of satisfaction.

"Taking into account the monster's growth, I've left plenty of room for adjustment, meow. This way, even if Tiaotiao gets bigger, he'll still be able to wear it, meow!"

Lin Lin also looked around Tiao Tiao for a while and nodded in admiration.

The stripes on Tiao Tiao's scales are orange and green, which is a protective color formed through years of evolution. Such color will appear grayish yellow from a distance in the desert, but now that he has followed Lin Lin to this beautiful place with mountains and rivers, the color of his scales is very eye-catching.

The feathers of the colorful bird are mainly yellow-green. Although the protective gear made by Blade does not cover the entire body, it still covers the important and vulnerable parts tightly. The large amount of colorful bird feathers used in it has caused Tiao Tiao to look like a person in different shades of green. Regardless of the level of protection, the concealment in the jungle area has indeed been greatly improved.

Tiaotiao shook his head, not quite used to the extra foreign objects on his head. However, he had been with Lin Lin for such a long time that he already knew that his body had the same protective shield as his leader, so he did not try to bite these things off.

Looking at Tiaotiao constantly moving his body, as if he was adapting to the equipment, Daofeng nodded and began to introduce this set of colorful bird armor.

"Considering Tiaotiao's size and the limited availability of colorful bird materials, I've abandoned the full-coverage design and focused on protecting the joints and the relatively vulnerable abdomen!"

"The strength of Tiaotiao's scales is actually quite strong enough to provide decent protection, meow. The colorful bird is primarily made of skin and feathers, so its resistance to slashing isn't even as good as Tiaotiao's. Therefore, the design I've adopted is a multi-layered feather structure that effectively reduces the force of blunt force impacts. This way, even when facing larger and more powerful monsters, it can effectively mitigate damage, meow!"

"Also, because of Tiaotiao's inherent agility as a Yellow Speed Dragon, this armor has been designed to be as lightweight as possible, meow. It will hardly affect Tiaotiao's movements, meow!"

Daofeng introduced things on the side, and Tiaotiao jumped a few times on the spot, seeming to have almost adapted, and looked at Lin Lin with a pair of animal eyes.

Lin Lin nodded. "Indeed, after a little adaptation, I can almost feel the weight of the armor."

Daofeng blinked his round eyes and said, "Tiaotiao can't speak, so how did you know this?"
"Then next, it's time to try my small crossbow, meow!" Coconut Tree held the small crossbow that had been debugged many times with some difficulty and moved it to a base reserved in front of the saddle behind Tiao Tiao.

With Blade's help, the installation of the small crossbow went smoothly and was fixed firmly on Tiaotiao's back.

Since most of the structure is made of knotwood as the main material, the weight of the bed crossbow has been reduced a lot after being miniaturized. It is actually about the same weight as the date itself. Putting it on the back makes Tiao Tiao feel nothing, and it doesn't even affect the center of gravity.

After being neatly dressed and thanking Daofeng, Yezao enthusiastically led Tiaotiao to the training ground for a test shooting.

The miniaturized bed crossbow naturally can no longer use heavy crossbow arrows made of fine steel, but this is not a problem at all, because the short spear-like arrows used by bow hunters are just the right size. You only need to buy two or three bags from Dao Wen to use them for daily use.

Yezao and Tiaotiao were happily shooting targets in the training ground. Lin Lin was not idle either, but was trying out a new move.

After hacking at the mechanical frog modeled after the Kappa frog, Lin Lin accumulated enough energy in the shield axe, opened the red shield, and filled the bottle again.

Next, try this trick!

The sword and shield combined, and it made a loop from behind and hit the ground. Lin Lin hurriedly raised his hand and pressed the insect box upwards. The emerald flying insect flew out and jumped up two or three meters.

Lin Lin grabbed the thin silk thread behind the tail with one hand, and was suddenly pulled into the sky by a huge force that burst out instantly.

It's just that perhaps the angle of the Kinsect's flight was slightly off, or perhaps Lin Lin's body reacted a moment too slowly, and Lin Lin, who should have risen straight into the sky, tilted to one side due to the drag of the heavy axe. Although he managed to lift the shield axe into the sky, it was impossible for him to stretch his body into a big bow like on flat ground and then swing the shield axe out.

"call……"

Staggering back to the ground, Lin Lin let out a breath and shook his head helplessly.

Although the principle of the aerial super-high-output liberation slash seems to be no different from the ordinary super-release, with the addition of a preparatory action of axe-striking jump, the requirements for the body's center of gravity, force application, timing control, etc. are much higher, and it is not as easy to use as expected.

It seems the extra damage gained by Aerial Solution over Super Solution isn't entirely due to just one Kinsect...

"It's just a little more difficult, just practice more and it will be fine!"

Lin Lin shook off his inner regrets, swung his axe to the ground again, and at the same time raised his right hand to knock on the insect box...

The Kinsects didn't fly away immediately. Although their short burst of power was enormous, they still needed to rest for a while before they could burst out again...
