Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 160 Little Puff

If I inlay two Swamp Crossing Pearls, not to mention that its flexibility will be comparable to that of the Ichthyosaur and Sea Dragon species, at least it won't sink as directly as it did just now, right?
Lin Lin carefully checked the insect boxes in his hands again. Seeing that the two Kinsects were in good condition, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the structure of the insect box is quite sophisticated, and even if it is submerged in water, it can still retain a certain amount of air. After all, the Kinsect cannot move in water.

After releasing the Kinsect, Lin Lin landed back at the edge of the pond, and was immediately surrounded by Coconut Tree and Tiao Tiao.

"I was so scared, meow. I almost thought the boss was going to drown, meow..."

Lin Lin's face darkened. "What are you talking about? I just didn't react immediately!"

"Yeah, that's right, meow..."

Yezao saw at a glance that Lin Lin was forcing himself to save face, so he changed the subject and looked at the body of the kappa frog lying in the middle of the pool:
"What should I do with that guy, meow? He's almost completely submerged in water, so I can't peel him off, meow..."

Lin Lin took over the conversation smoothly, "That's easy. I'll get the rope, tie it up, and drag it out."

"Why don't you just let me go, meow?"

Lin Lin squinted his eyes and looked at Yezao, but Yezao refused to meet Lin Lin's gaze. It was obvious that he had no confidence in his boss's swimming ability because of the incident just now.

"You grew up in the desert and can't swim, so just watch from the shore."

Jujube cast a suspicious look at him, and Lin Lin's mouth twitched fiercely.

“I don’t go in the water with my gear on!”

……

In a makeshift tent.

A crystal clear bubble expanded and shrank in a very regular pattern with the little fox's breathing, until one moment, it quietly burst.

A tiny spark exploded, then was grasped by a ruthless iron hand, preventing a fire that could have burned down the tent from happening at the source.

The Flame Fox Dragon opened his eyes in a daze and was startled when he saw a figure standing in front of him. However, he then noticed the brown armor and relaxed.

"Little Puff, are you awake?"

Lin Lin took out another can of nutrient solution and fed it to it before freeing it from the blanket "sushi roll".

After carefully checking every part of Little Puff's body, I found that the wounds that had been bleeding before had already scabbed over, but there was no change in the broken scales and broken claws.

After all, it takes time to grow again.

Lin Lin took off one of his wrist armors and reached out to rub Little Puff's head.

Unlike the cool and slightly rough scales of the jumping ice cream, the little puff's head is warm. The scales are not only very delicate, but also seem to be covered with a layer of oily film, and feel slippery to the touch.

Perhaps it was because she had been fed two doses of nutrients and had been infused with the healing incense that was a specialty of Yanhuo Village, that Little Puff's condition was much better than the near-death state she was in when she was just rescued from the mouth of the Kappa Frog. This could be seen from the color of her body alone.

When Lin Lin first found it from the clump of water plants, the little guy was extremely weak. Except for the inky hair on its tail, its entire body was almost pale, with only a hint of purple on its fins. After a short period of recuperation, the purple on the little Puff's body had become much richer, like a delicate violet. The patterns of varying shades on the fins on its head made it look like a dancing butterfly.

(Pattern as shown)
Lin Lin had his fill of rubbing, and Puff didn't resist, letting Lin Lin rub the fins on its head until they were all twisted and turned. The Flame Fox Dragon was a sea dragon, after all, and even though it had evolved to be more adapted to life on land than other sea dragons, it couldn't stay out of the water for too long. When Lin Lin had rubbed it enough, he let go and picked up the small, soft Flame Fox Dragon.

The Flame Fox Dragon raised its eyes and looked at Lin Lin in confusion, not knowing what Lin Lin was going to do when he picked it up.

However, since it was born, this was the first life it had met that showed kindness to it. Little Puff just took a look, shook its flexible tail, adjusted itself to a more comfortable posture, and curled itself up in Lin Lin's arms, showing full trust.

Lin Lin couldn't help but rubbed it twice, then he opened the tent and walked out.

The tent was covered with canvas and the light was relatively weak. When the sunlight suddenly came in, Little Puff couldn't help but close her eyes to avoid being stimulated by the suddenly strong light.

Immediately afterwards, a strong smell of blood came into her nose. Little Puff couldn't help but tense up all over and subconsciously wanted to escape.

Living in the wild these days, it has fully realized that the presence of this smell will inevitably attract danger.

However, as the warm big hand gently stroked its body and it listened to the soft words of comfort, little Puff calmed down a little and felt a little safe.

So it opened its eyes again and saw a huge monster lying dead beside the pond not far away.

Most of the skin on its body had been cut off, revealing the bright red muscles inside. However, through some moss-covered parts, Little Puff recognized it at a glance. This was the monster that had swallowed it before.

He died just like that? What killed him?

Little Puff never thought that it was Lin Lin who killed the big frog. In its mind, what kind of terrifying monster must be able to kill such a terrifying big guy?
"I've avenged you. This guy died not long ago, and the smell of blood hasn't spread yet. This area is still relatively safe."

Lin Lin shook his head helplessly, took a few steps, and put the little Puff in his arms to the edge of the pool. Then he saw it slide into the pool. With a swing of its big tail, the whole dragon disappeared from the water.

Lin Lin was stunned for a moment, "I haven't finished speaking yet..."

"Forget it, it's better to hide in the water and wait for the body of this kappa frog to return to nature..."

Before Lin Lin finished speaking, he heard another "hiss" sound, and the little Puff's head emerged from the water, chirping rapidly towards Lin Lin.

Lin Lin listened, and the corner of his mouth twitched:
"I told you I was the one who killed it, don't be afraid... Also, I'm different from you, I can't dive."

Little Puff blinked her eyes, saw Lin Lin squatting down and stirring the water with his hand, then stood up again.

"Alright, be careful and don't get eaten accidentally again! I should also go back to the village to complete the mission!"

Lin Lin looked at Little Puff again, gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to kidnap it. He was a hunter, and it was not right for him to bring monsters into the village all day long.

"See you again someday..."

Lin Lin called out to Coconut Date and Tiao Tiao, and prepared to return to the village along the mountain path.

"Ow!"

When he reached the mountain pass, Lin Lin's ears moved and he turned his head, and saw a violet shadow chasing him quickly.

　Thank you book friend 666 for the reward of coins, you are right, thank you very much!
