Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 154: Battle against Kappa Frog

The slender figure turned his head hurriedly and saw a fat, frog-like behemoth staring at him with horizontal pupils. From the emotionless eyes, one could clearly read the greedy appetite.

Thick and dense moss grows on the head, back and even a pair of forelimbs. There is also a bony organ like a dish growing on the top of the head. This is a kappa frog.

As the breeding season passes and the cold period arrives, food gradually becomes scarce, and foraging becomes something that the Kappa frog needs to spend a lot of energy on every day.

And now, the kappa frog is starving.

The lavender figure turned around and began to flee the moment it spotted the Kappa Frog. However, how could its short limbs outrun this giant beast that was over ten meters long?
The kappa frog opened its big mouth and rushed forward like a bulldozer. In a few breaths, the big mouth reached the tail, and the next moment it swallowed it along with the sand, gravel and pool water.

A large amount of sand and gravel was swallowed into its stomach along with the pool water. Even two green strip-shaped creatures that were originally hidden under the sand and gravel had no time to react and went directly into the stomach of this greedy guy. The Kappa frog's amazingly elastic belly also swelled up high.

The Kappa frog's eyes moved slightly, and its excellent dynamic vision recognized the green striped creature at a glance. It was its favorite sea cucumber.

(The melon sea cucumber looks like a cucumber and is about the length of an adult's forearm.)
Feeling that the gravel and pond water it swallowed had made its belly swell to the extreme, the Kappa Frog stopped, with its big belly sticking out, supporting its body only with its relatively underdeveloped hind legs, while its strong forelimbs rubbed its belly.

Crushing food with sand and gravel in the stomach can certainly make digestion more efficient, but the amount of food swallowed at one time that can actually be digested is actually not much. Overall, the hunting efficiency is not high.

Therefore, it plans to apply a little external force to make its digestion faster and spit out the sand and gravel that take up space earlier so that it can find something else to eat.

"Ha, I found it! Take my sword!"

The Kappa Frog had just rubbed its belly with its two front paws and had not started to exert force when it suddenly heard a sound coming from far away. It turned its head towards the direction of the sound, and a sword shaped like a hammer had already hit its head.

"boom!"

Even though there was a large amount of algae above its head that blocked the attack, the Kappa Frog still felt a pain in its head.

The red eyes immediately locked onto the tiny figure falling in front of it. The Kappa frog took a deep breath and let out a roar like a frog.

"Cuck!"

When Lin Lin saw the Kappa Frog inhaling, he immediately raised the shield in front of him and blocked his entire body behind it.

When the sound wave came, Lin Lin just shook his arm slightly to dissolve the impact.

Lin Lin sighed inwardly, thinking how great it would be if he could learn how to fully charge and counterattack right now. This roar would allow him to directly unleash the Red Shield...

When the sound wave subsided, Lin Lin tensed his arms, concentrated his mind and mobilized the blood and energy in his body, and the power continued to gather in his left hand. "Swoosh!"

With a sharp whistling sound, a short spear-like steel arrow pierced the Kappa Frog's mouth before it could close it. The intense pain directly interrupted its subconscious intimidating roar.

The Kappa Frog subconsciously turned its gaze towards the direction of the attack, and saw a monster covered with green feathers appearing on a mountain path not far away. It must be the one that launched the attack just now.

However, the Kappa Frog was not afraid or daunted by the monster's six or seven meter length. Instead, its eyes lit up, and it subconsciously ignored the human who had just chopped off its head, and took big strides towards the monster covered with green feathers.

If it could swallow this guy, it wouldn't have to go hungry for a long time!
But just as it took a step, its right front paw, which was raised at its side to maintain balance, suddenly felt a pain. It was Lin Lin's charged double slash followed by a spinning slash, and three consecutive slashes hit the same part. Not only did it cut through the thick moss growing on the surface, but it also left a seven or eight inch deep wound on its paw, and blood gushed out all at once.

However, this injury was just a superficial wound to the eleven-meter-long Kappa Frog. Apart from causing it a little pain, it didn't even divert its attention.

At this time, the Kappa Frog was determined to swallow the feathered monster into its stomach.

However, unlike the monsters it had fought in the past, this feathered guy did not rush up to fight it without showing any weakness. Instead, it started to run to the side, always keeping a distance from it, and did not move the battlefield to other areas.

While it was running, a sharp arrow was shot out from time to time, but perhaps because both sides were moving quickly, only a few of these arrows fell on the Kappa Frog's head. Most of them either fell into the air or pierced its extremely tough belly, and did not cause any damage.

Without the Kinsect, it would be difficult for humans to catch up with the Kappa Frog with just their short legs. So Lin Lin did not chase it, but stood still and began to charge the shield, and then turned on the shield strengthening state.

Since the sword had not reached a red-hot state, the energy rushing into the shield was not much, which shortened the time that the shield strengthening could last. However, Lin Lin still did it. After all, compared to running a marathon with the Kappa Frog, this operation was more cost-effective.

After finishing the gymnastics, Lin Lin was about to call Date to ask it to lure the Kappa Frog back with Tiao Tiao, but his brows suddenly frowned.

Just now, when an arrow shot by Date landed somewhere in the belly of the Kappa Frog, he suddenly heard a cry.

No, the word "howling" is not appropriate to describe it. It was a cry of despair, pain, and fear. In fact, it already existed when he just found this kappa frog, but it was extremely weak, which caused Lin Lin not to notice it just now.

It was not until the arrow shot by Date fell that the voice in his heart suddenly became much stronger as if stimulated. Lin Lin then realized that the voice actually came from the belly of the Kappa Frog.

What did this giant frog swallow alive? How could it still be alive?

However, judging from the voice that was strong for a moment and then became weaker, the thing is still alive now, but that may not be the case in a while.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to hit it hard and make it vomit out the contents of its stomach!
Of course, seeing what this guy swallowed is secondary. The most important thing is that the big frog's stomach is filled with so much sand, gravel, and soil, which is not light and will be more difficult to deal with during the battle.
