Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 163 Registering Little Puff

Hunters who can fight five-star monsters must be the elite of the guild. Even if they are not as rare as the upper-level hunters, there will be no more than seven hundred of them in the entire continent.

Although the overall strength of Yanhuo Village is stronger because it has to face the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons, it is not to an exaggerated extent. Things like killing more than 20 Ice Fang Dragons and Swift Dragons in a short period of time are just for fun. If they really have that kind of strength, they would have defeated the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons long ago, and there would be no chance for Lieyan.
Of course, as a master hunter, Puxian is at the top of the hunter pyramid. Even if he is retired now, it is not difficult for him to defeat monsters of the map king level, so he was only shocked at the beginning, but quickly calmed down.

"Hiss... isn't that right?"

Seeing Puxian frowning, as if he had thought of something, Lin Lin couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Village Chief, what's wrong?"

Puxian scratched the side of his face. "I remember that monsters like the Bubble Fox Dragon only appear in areas where humans can observe them, and they are single male individuals. There has never been any report of observing a juvenile Bubble Fox Dragon before!"

"Maybe this little guy I picked up has a special case?"

Puxian nodded, then looked at Lin Lin:

"What are you going to do?"

Although he was capable of easily dealing with a Bubble Fox Dragon, even a more dangerous subspecies, that was only for himself. If most of the villagers in Yanhuo Village encountered it, they would basically be unable to beat it. This was a huge difference from a Yellow Speed Dragon King or a Ghost Frog.

Lin Lin blinked, and then realized that Puxian was asking him what he planned to do with Xiao Paopu.

He took a deep breath and asked tentatively:

"Um...I'll raise it and then release it into the wild?"

Puxian's eyebrows knitted together, "What if it hurts someone?"

"Probably...not right?"

Lin Lin thought about how little Puff looked when she lay in his arms and acted coquettishly. Her mental activities were clearly laid out in front of him, all of which were dependence and a sense of security, as if she treated him as her male mother.

In this way, if you love the house and its dog, the possibility of it hurting people in the future should be small, right?
"So you can't guarantee that, right?"

Lin Lin curled his lips. There was nothing he could do. It was just like Tiao Tiao. If he was always by her side, then of course it could be guaranteed. But if she was released into the wild and her wild nature came back, then it would be hard to say what would happen.

"Then... I'll raise it a little bit and then let it go. When I release it, I'll keep it farther away?"

Puxian looked at Lin Lin without saying a word, but the meaning of his eyes was very clear:

Is there any essential difference?

"What should I do then..."

Puxian shook his head. "Forget it. Just keep it by your side for a while and see how it goes. Sui Fengren's ghost frog can grow that big. If your bubble fox dragon can be that docile, it's not a problem to keep it forever..."

Of course, it would be even better if they could help with the village's defense and hunting like the Fang Hound and this kid's Yellow Speed Dragon King...

However, Puxian just thought about this in his mind and did not say it out loud, otherwise it would seem that he, as the village chief, is too naive.

"Then...Village Chief, would you like to come with me to see Little Puff?"

"Little Puff?"

"Oh, that's the name I gave to that cub..."

"It sounds delicious... Ahem, forget it now. Wait until you've grown it for a while, and then I'll go see the results." "Then I'll go back first?"

"Yeah, let's go."

……

Lin Lin did not go home directly as he said, but walked out along the main road of the village and came to the pier near the lake at the edge of the village.

Although Yanhuo Village seems very closed due to the influence of the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons, this does not mean that the village has no communication with the outside world. On the contrary, due to its geographical location near the sea and the relatively safe and closed environment surrounded by mountains on three sides, Yanhuo Village has a port that can be called prosperous.

Even if not every day, at least once in a while, a cargo ship would dock here, transporting away the village's ironware, ores, specialties, etc., while also bringing in various spices, food and other goods from the outside world.

However, Lin Lin came here not for the cargo ship, but for the fishing boats docked on the shore.

"Uncle! How much are your fish for?"

"I want them all, okay?"

"I can take it, I can take it. I'm a hunter!"

"Hey! Thank you, uncle. I'll come to you next time I buy fish!"

Carrying a bucket full of various fish, plus half a pound of Moga seashells given by the boatman, Lin Lin leisurely returned to his small house in Yanhuo Village.

After putting the big bucket on the ground, Tiaotiao just looked up when a violet figure rushed out and started to sob while clinging to Lin Lin's legs.

Lin Lin: ...

"Can you please have some dignity as the Map King? Village Chief Puxian is worried that you might affect the safety of the villagers. If he sees you acting like a spoiled brat, won't his eyes pop out?"

However, little Puff could not understand Lin Lin's complicated words, and she was still clinging to Lin Lin's legs eagerly and sobbing, and she frequently turned her head to look at the big wooden barrel standing on the ground next to her, which was taller than her entire length when stretched out.

Lin Lin grinned, "You smell fish!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Lin leaned over, took out two small fish from the wooden barrel, and threw them into Little Puff's mouth.

Little Puff didn't even bite it. She opened and closed her mouth twice and swallowed the fish directly into her stomach.

After a rather comfortable burp, Little Puff let go of Lin Lin's legs and started spinning around him, leaving a trail of bubbles all over the floor.

"You... fully automatic floor scrubber, you've cleaned up all the dust on the floor..."

Just like the bubbles that were created when little Puff acted coquettishly in his arms, the bubbles that Little Puff created on the ground did not catch fire. Lin Lin complained and let it go.

Seeing Tiaotiao looking at him eagerly, Lin Lin twitched his lips and said, "You came from the desert, and you don't particularly like eating fish. Why are you staring at this all day?"

But having said that, Lin Lin did not favor one over the other. He took out two more fish and gave them to Tiaotiao to satisfy his hunger. Then he concentrated on picking out a few big fish and put them aside. This was his and Yezao's dinner today. He had been in seclusion raising kinesins before, and for convenience, he had eaten rabbit dumplings in Yanhuo Village for several days. Lin Lin really couldn't stand it anymore, and he happened to pick up a little fox cub, so today he simply had a meal of honey-roasted fish to change his appetite.

He took out several ice crystals from the storage box and threw them into the big wooden barrel to keep the fish fresh. He then found a piece of wood to cover it, barely covering up the strong fishy smell. Then Lin Lin stretched and prepared to start work.
