Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 168: Avoiding the Charming Moment

The blue bear beast lost its balance and fell to the ground. As the wire broke, Ye Zi, who had been fixing himself on its back with the wire, screamed and fell down.

It was obvious that the girl had not expected the wire to break. Even though she tried to adjust her posture the moment she was thrown off, she still landed on her butt backwards, grimacing in pain.

In other words, the Kamaitachi Dragon King's attention was distracted by the Blue Bear Beast, and he did not chase Ye Zi, which gave her time to get up from the ground.

After being knocked to the ground twice in a row, the Blue Bear Beast was covered with wounds. Even though these injuries were far from fatal, it had already begun to think of retreating.

No matter how delicious honey is, you still have to have hope to eat it. Now I got beaten up before I even touched it...

The blue bear beast took a reluctant look at the tempting honeycomb and fled away in shame.

Ye Zi glanced at the fleeing Blue Bear Beast and ignored it. Instead, he drew out his iron long sword... Well, although it sounds a bit like a katana, the name of this insect-controlling stick is indeed called Iron Long Sword.

Although when she just rode the dragon, she did not cause any substantial damage except for making the Blue Bear Beast withstand two attacks and consuming some of the sickle-weasel dragon king's strength, but just before she rode the dragon, the Blue Bear Beast had already slapped the two small sickle-weasel dragons away.

Without the assistance of the two little sickle-weasel dragons, the threat level of the sickle-weasel dragon king has been greatly reduced. Now is a good time to start hunting!
"Come on! Xiaojia!"

Weapons like the insect-control stick can give instructions to insect hunters by emitting pheromones or using low-frequency sound waves emitted when dancing, but in Ye Zi's hands, she has another way to command insect hunters, and that is language.

This shiny red rhinoceros beetle is quite intelligent and can understand some of her simple commands and cooperate with them. It also has considerable strength. It is precisely because of picking up this rhinoceros beetle that Ye Zi chose the insect-control stick when choosing a weapon later.

"Buzz!"

It can be used to hunt insects, so you can imagine the size of this rhinoceros beetle. When it flaps its wings, a buzzing sound like that of a bomber is heard in the air.

Having just repelled the invaders of the Dragon King's territory, the Kamaweasel Dragon King was roaring triumphantly at the fleeing Blue Bear Beast when he felt a pain in his head, as if he had been bitten by something.

When he turned his eyes, he saw a rhinoceros beetle with a bright red shell flying past his head. Ignoring his gaze, he flew to his leg and bit it.

The sickle-weasel dragon king's eyes turned cold. A mere bug dared to provoke him?
It swung its tail, ready to chop the insect into pieces with its sharp blade.

But at the moment its tail was swung, the beetle that was originally flying slowly away from the leg of the Kamaitachi Dragon King suddenly accelerated, turned into a residual shadow, passed by the blade tail, and flew back into Ye Zi's hand in a flash.

He raised his left arm and let the rhinoceros beetle lie back down. Then he saw two small balls of dust spit out from its mouthparts one after another, covering Ye Zi.

Lin Lin, tucked away in the bushes, could see clearly that as Ye Zi was enveloped in dust, two flashes of light, one red and one white, flashed across his body. These flashes were quite similar to the red light that flashed when he used a charged double attack. "So, lighting the insect stick is actually a way of utilizing one's own life energy..."

Lin Lin is no longer a newbie who knows nothing. After thinking for a while, he understood the essence of lighting a lamp with an insect stick.

It is somewhat similar to ghost medicine and ghost dust. It also uses external objects to activate the circulation of one's own life energy, thereby achieving effects such as strengthening physical strength, enhancing toughness, and improving agility... However, this external object is not a potion, but the essence taken by the hunter from the monster.

As for whether there are any other requirements for such enhancement, such as the essence that must be fed back by the hunting insects to take effect, and how to mobilize one's own life energy when absorbing the essence, Lin Lin has no idea about these details. After all, he is not using an insect stick.

Lin Lin's analysis had no impact on the battle situation. After discovering that the dragon-biting insect was released by that inconspicuous human, the sickle-weasel dragon king launched an attack without hesitation.

Because there was a blue bear beast between the two, there was a distance between the Kamaitachi Dragon King and Ye Zi. After realizing that the length of the Kamaitachi Dragon King's tail might not be enough to reach the other party, he decisively changed his attack method and rushed forward with big strides, waving his claws.

Crazy grabbing!

Although the most proud weapon of the Kamaitachi Dragon King is its sickle-like blade tail, it does not mean that it only has this means of attack. Its curved claws that reflect a light blue light are also sharp!

Since the distance between the two sides was nearly ten meters before the Kamawesaur Dragon King charged, Ye Zi had enough time to react. However, the girl did not run or dodge in advance. Instead, she held the weapon tightly in her hand, staring at the Kamawesaur Dragon King as the distance between her and herself got closer and closer.

Lin Lin frowned slightly. He didn't think that a talented girl like Ye Zi, who had a bright future, would be frightened and unable to move. He was just wondering how Ye Zi was going to fight. Was she going to dodge the attack before it hit her? That was a bit risky...

If it were him, he should have moved to the side in advance to avoid the attack range of the Kamaitachi Dragon King and hit him with a knife. Of course, the premise is that he is using the Insect Glaive. If he uses the Shield Axe, he can just put up the shield and use GP to counterattack.

As Lin Lin was watching, when the sharp claws of the sickle-weasel dragon king were about one meter away from her, Ye Zi finally moved. She pushed hard with her feet, and her flexible waist instantly exerted force, driving her whole body to do a backflip to the side of the sickle-weasel dragon king's charging path.

However, this backflip was not entirely for evasion. The rotation of the body naturally drove the more than two-meter-long double-headed sword, and the center of rotation was the middle of the sword's handle.

Avoid the cut!
So, when the Kamaitachi Dragon King could not stop charging and passed in front of Ye Zi, a large clump of its long orange hair was cut off, and two consecutive cuts made a long and narrow bloody wound at the same position.

Lin Lin couldn't help but nodded. Although it was different from what he expected, the dodge and counterattack this time was indeed beautiful. It turned out that weapons like insect sticks were flexible.

Everyone thought that the first round of confrontation would end here, but unexpectedly, the moment Ye Zi's feet touched the ground again, she threw a Kinsect in the direction of the Kamaitachi Dragon King, which had just started to brake. She then quickly closed the distance with the Kamaitachi Dragon King again, swung the long sword in her hand, and actually started a close fight with the Kamaitachi Dragon King.
