Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 166: Kamaitachi Dragon King
The sickle-weasel dragon is a small bird-dragon monster. So far, it has only been found in the area around Yanhuo Village. Just like the various velociraptors and dog dragons that appear widely in various areas, the sickle-weasel dragon is also a social monster. The leader of the tribe is naturally Ye Zi's target, the sickle-weasel dragon king.

However, unlike their distant relatives, the sickle-weasel dragon does not master special skills such as sleep, paralysis, and poison. The most powerful weapon they rely on for survival is the sickle-like sharp hooked blade on their tail.

At this moment, Ye Zi squatted on the ground, carefully looking at the gap on the side of a bamboo shoot, and made a judgment after a moment.

"The gap is large and deep, unlike any mark left by a sickle-weasel. This must have been caused by the sickle-weasel king's tail swing. The target must be nearby."

Lin Lin followed about ten meters behind Ye Zi and nodded silently. This girl finally noticed it, it was not easy.

Along the way, Lin Lin had found three traces left by the sickle-weasel dragon king. One was on the grass by the lake. A small blade of grass had been cut in the middle by a sharp weapon. It was not very noticeable among the grass. The initial judgment was that it was cut by a tail sweep. It was not surprising that Ye Zi did not notice it due to his lack of experience.

The other place was on a rock face, with several holes spaced eight or nine meters apart. According to the scene Lin Lin reconstructed in his mind, the sickle-weasel dragon king had nailed its long tail into the hole at the top of the rock face, with its legs kicked into the shallower holes below. The whole dragon was hanging on the rock face, probably trying to use gravity to launch a powerful attack. Although Ye Zi had seen this when he glanced around, he did not connect it with the sickle-weasel dragon king.
The bamboo shoot with a notch that Ye Zi finally found was the third trace that Lin Lin noticed when he walked over. If Ye Zi had ignored even this trace, then Lin Lin would have had to give this girl a failed grade in the search for monster traces.

After whistling, Ye Zi raised his hand to catch the falling Fukuki rabbit, pointed at the gap on the side of the bamboo shoot, whispered a few words, and then let it fly away again.

Less than half an hour later, the Fukuki rabbit flew back again, circled twice above Ye Zi's head, made short chirps, and flew in one direction again.

"Found it? Great!"

"Xiaobai, let's go!"

Lin Lin: ...

Damn, Fukuki rabbits are really efficient... If it didn't take so long to train them, I really want to raise one myself!

Forget it, I'll see if there's a chance to get the Guide Bug later...

Lin Lin squeezed his legs slightly, signaling Tiao Tiao to speed up and catch up, and not let Ye Zi out of his sight.

Before officially coming face to face with the monster, Ye Zi's little white pup was agile and nimble. If Lin Lin had not brought Tiao Tiao with him this time, even if he had the Kinsect in his hand, it would be difficult for him to catch up with Ye Zi who was traveling at full speed.

Half an hour later.

Lin Lin turned over and jumped off Tiao Tiao's back, then patted Tiao Tiao's back, signaling it to lie down and hide its body with the help of the lush trees.

He also lowered his body and took small steps forward.

Just behind the bushes in front, Ye Zi had already gotten off Xiao Bai's back and was prying open a gap in the bushes to observe the situation ahead, while Xiao Bai was lying quietly beside him, even his breathing was barely audible. It was obvious that he had been well trained.

His ears moved slightly, and Ye Zi turned to look at Lin Lin who was approaching with small steps behind him, and waved with a smile.

She lowered her voice: "Brother Lin Lin, should I go now?"

Lin Lin rolled his eyes and lowered his voice: "Make your own decision, I am only responsible for saving your life." Although he said so, Lin Lin still observed the situation in front, and evaluated in his heart whether Ye Zi's decision was correct.

This is a clearing in the forest. It is not too big, but the terrain is quite wide. Not far away there is a large beehive with only half of it left, and golden honey is flowing down drop by drop.

In the center of the clearing, three monsters with bright orange fur came into view. The largest of them was lying lazily on the grass, with a long and powerful tail swinging leisurely behind it, rubbing the grass in that area into pieces.

Beside this monster with two tufts of white hair in the shape of flying feathers on its head, there are two sickle-weasel dragons with relatively brighter body colors. They are surrounding the leader and playing with each other. You nip at my hair, and I nudge you, having a lot of fun.

The sickle-weasel dragon king would look at the elites of the two tribes, and when he became interested, he would shake his head and push one of them over, and use his teeth to comb the hair on the other's abdomen.

Lin Lin gritted his teeth. A large part of the difficulty in hunting the sickle-weasel dragon king lies in the two elite sickle-weasel dragons that will fight together with the leader. If he were to do it alone, he would definitely have to find a chance to separate them before fighting.

Ye Zi took a look at the two little sickle-weasel dragons, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't rush out.

Wait a little longer, being besieged is not a pleasant feeling...

Ye Zi's wait did not last long, as a short roar in the distance broke the silence.

Ye Zi moved his ears, but couldn't tell what creature the cry came from. However, the three-headed monster in the center of the open space stood up in an instant after hearing it, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

At the end of the bamboo forest, a sturdy green figure was seen rushing towards them on all fours.

Lin Lin raised his hands and covered his eyes.

Why did that roar just now sound so familiar? It was indeed the Blue Bear Beast!
Of course it couldn't be Xiong Er. Just from the size of the green bear beast, it could be seen that it was a whole circle smaller than Xiong Er, and its fur was pure green, not the dark green with black that Xiong Er had now.

As for why they rushed straight towards the Sickle-Weasel Dragon King... just look at the half-remaining beehive behind them, and everything is self-explanatory.

Unlike Lin Lin's complicated mood, when Ye Zi saw the green bear beast rushing towards him, his eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance.

Great, this is the teeth she wants to see!

Let’s fight quickly!

Last time I wanted to make the colorful bird and the umbrella bird lose both, but I was besieged. This time I didn’t show up, so they must have started fighting, right?
After all, the friendship between monsters that transcends races is a minority among minorities. The development of things did not exceed Ye Zi's expectations, and everything was developing in the direction she expected.

There is no room for twists and turns between monsters. The blue bear beast has invaded their habitat, so they will beat it back!
The sickle-weasel dragon king roared and stared at the blue bear beast.
