Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 164 The End of Confinement
"dong dong dong"

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Lin Lin."

Outside the door, Lin Lin was carrying a string of honey-grilled fish.

"Brother Lin Lin? You're back?"

Inside the house, Ye Zi's voice was filled with joy. She was feeling very uncomfortable being locked up these days. Lin Lin would often come to chat with this girl because he would ask her for advice on raising Kinsects. Occasionally, he would bring Ye Zi some delicious food - like now, after she had just finished eating dates, Lin Lin roasted another one and brought it over.

"Can you tell me about your hunting experience?"

Lin Lin laughed and shook his head helplessly, "No hurry, I just made grilled fish and brought you one by the way."

"Really? Thank you, Brother Lin Lin!"

The door quietly opened a crack, and the crispy grilled fish with a rich aroma was taken in.

While Ye Zi was eating grilled fish, Lin Lin sat outside and talked about his experience of hunting kappa frogs, and then talked about the little Puff he had just adopted.

"Huh? Why do you need to keep it? Even if it doesn't work for you, wouldn't it be better to just leave it alone?"

Lin Lin: ...

What else can I say? I can only say that you are worthy of me.

"Dear Miss Yezi, I'm afraid I have to remind you that hunting young animals is not allowed, except for monsters like Tyrannosaurus that will destroy the local ecological balance."

Ye Zi seemed to mutter something in a low voice, but Lin Lin couldn't hear clearly because of the door between them.

After two seconds, Ye Zi spoke again:
"I'm just worried about what kind of chaos would happen if the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons happened again..."

Lin Lin pursed his lips. No wonder Ye Zi's first reaction to monsters was to kill them. This was all forced out by the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons...

"Don't worry, this little guy is still young and won't cause any problems. But when he grows up..."

Lin Lin paused for a moment. "I think, maybe when the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons occurs, it will help protect the village."

Just like Xiong Er, before Lanlong occupied Lingfeng, it had already driven away all the monsters in the area around Jieyun Village - even though there were no powerful monsters in the stream area at that time, and the colorful bird was already considered the strongest among them, but this did bring a period of peace and stability to the village, didn't it?
Ye Zi snorted twice, as if she didn't believe what Lin Lin said, but she didn't continue to dwell on this topic, but sighed instead:
"I really want to see the cub you raised, Brother Lin Lin..."

Lin Lin glanced at the door of the next room, which he had closed. "If you want to see it, I can bring it over right now."

"That's not necessary. The village chief said that my confinement will end tomorrow. We'll just have to wait and see then..."

She didn't want to extend her "sentence" because of such a small matter.

"Huh? So fast?"

Lin Lin calculated the days briefly. It was only about ten days, less than half a month, right? Was it over?
If you don't recognize your own abilities, don't accept the commission and run away, won't you be fined more?

Inside the door, Ye Zi wrinkled his nose and said angrily:
"That's fast, isn't it? It's been a long time! I've never been locked up for such a long time. I feel like my bones are rusting!"

Speaking of this, Ye Zi rolled his eyes and said casually:
"By the way, Brother Lin Lin, can you take me with you next time you go hunting?"

Lin Lin: ...

You say the fine is too little? This is the thief's will!

"No, hunting is not a joke. You are not even a formal hunter, so I dare not take you on risks." In fact, according to reason, with Lin Lin's current strength, he can be an instructor to train resident hunters for some small villages. There is nothing wrong with taking Ye Zi to watch the hunting.

The problem is that Yanhuo Village is too special. Even though the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons has not yet arrived, the ecology is not stable. If something unexpected happens along the way, Ye Zi, who is not even a formal hunter, will find it difficult to take care of himself.

"Humph! Brother Lin Lin, are you looking down on me?"

"No, no, I believe you are extremely talented and will be able to end the Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons by yourself in the future."

Ye Zi, who was about to lose his temper, suddenly smiled.

"Then I'll go apply for the official hunter exam tomorrow! Once I become an official hunter, you can take me with you, right?"

Lin Lin: Ah, this...

I seem to have accidentally messed up the world line?

Girl, you shouldn't debut at this time!

"Let's talk about it after you pass the official hunter assessment..."

……

The next day.

"Ni Tai is still monitoring the monsters' movements at Feiye Fortress. I'd like to ask you to be the examiner for Ye Zi's assessment."

Lin Lin opened his mouth wide and pointed a finger at himself:

"I?"

Puxian nodded and said, "In addition to judging Yezi's performance in the hunt, I also hope that you can help if a monster beyond her ability appears during the mission."

In fact, this task did not have to be given to Lin Lin, but Ni Tai said that an unknown type of monster appeared in the surrounding area and he was unable to get away. Puxian thought of Lin Lin first because he had the ability to serve as an examiner, had a certain friendship with Ye Zi, and was willing to spend some time on it.

Lin Lin thought for a moment, nodded helplessly, and agreed.

Ye Zi would want to take the test now. He was largely responsible for this, so it was only right for him to go and take care of it.

"Where is she now? I'll be there right away."

Puxian pointed at Ye Zi's residence and said, "They should still be preparing for the hunt."

Lin Lin was about to go over when Puxian suddenly reminded him:
"Don't lower your standards just because Ye Zi is your friend! High standards and strict requirements are what you should do for that girl! That's what you should do for her!"

Lin Lin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Village Chief, I won't have to worry about it!"

……

Lin Lin did not go directly to find Ye Zi, but returned to his home to make preparations before departure.

Ever since he made that set of protective gear for Tiaotiao, Date has always been tinkering with Blade. When he heard that this time they were not going out hunting but to be an examiner, he meowed and said that he still had a lot to learn, so he didn't go and cause trouble.

Ever since Tiaotiao defeated the Yellow Speed Dragon King in the desert, he'd entered a secondary growth phase. Even after his initial rapid growth, he was still growing, albeit at a slower pace. As he grew, Tiaotiao was no longer the tiny creature he'd once been, unable to even carry a hunter. Without Tiaotiao, Lin Lin had no idea how he'd catch up with Ye Zi once he entered the hunting grounds. Ye Zi had a dog!

As for little Puff...it's ok for this little guy to act cute and coquettish sometimes, but it's better to let him stay at home when he needs to do serious work. There are quite a few fish at home, and I believe that Coconut Date can take good care of him.
