Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 169 Setting the Trap
As a heavy weapon user, even though Lin Lin had previous gaming experience, this was the first time he witnessed the difference between a light weapon like the insect stick and a shield axe.

If the main idea in a shield-axe fight is to let the monster run rampant first, and then suppress it back after accumulating enough big moves, then the main function of the Insect Glaive is to act like a plaster, sticking to you all the time. Even if the damage of a single attack is not high, the accumulation of small wounds can cause considerable damage.

The fierce battle between the Kamaitachi Dragon King and Ye Zi on the field has lasted for more than ten minutes. At this moment, the Kamaitachi Dragon King's body is covered with many small wounds. A large part of them were cut by the double-headed knife of the insect-controlling stick, but many were also caused by the bite of the bright red rhinoceros beetle.

Unlike the Kamaweed Dragon King who looked in a miserable state, Ye Zi did not have any scars on his body, except that his breathing was a little rapid and his body was stained with some of the Kamaweed Dragon King's blood, making it look a little messy.

After the previous fight between the Kamaitachi Dragon King and the Blue Bear Beast, Ye Zi had already mastered most of the Kamaitachi Dragon King's moves. It was nothing more than a tail swing, a backflip tail swing, a gyroscope-like triple tail swing, scratching with claws, and spitting, which was not very harmful but more insulting.

Having been prepared for these moves in advance, coupled with Ye Zi's own talent of super high reaction speed, the result is that she is now unharmed, while the Kamaitachi Dragon King is covered in blood.

The sickle-weasel dragon king felt the pain all over his body, white mist came out of his mouth and nose, and his eyes stared angrily at the small guy opposite him.

However, although he was extremely annoyed, the previous fighting process had already made the sickle-weasel dragon king realize that he could not get rid of this enemy by himself.

He glanced at the two elite sickle-weasel dragons lying on the ground not far away. These two elite sickle-weasel dragons in the tribe had the potential to grow into the next generation of sickle-weasel dragon kings. Although they did not die on the spot after being hit by the blue bear beast's slap, many bones in their bodies were broken. They could only lie on the ground and wailed, but could not get up at all.

The two heir dragons were already disabled and could not provide any help at all. The sickle-weasel dragon king took two steps back, raised his head, and prepared to call out.

No matter how far away they are, as long as the sickle-weasel dragons in the tribe hear its call, they will definitely come over.

Unfortunately, Ye Zi did not give it this chance. After taking two deep breaths, he approached again, with the bloody long knife in his hand pointing directly at the head of the Kamaitachi Dragon King.

In desperation, the Kamaitachi Dragon King had to temporarily give up the idea of calling his younger brothers and retreat again to avoid the blade.

This was not the first time it tried to call its younger brother, but Ye Zi, who had done his homework beforehand and had a clear understanding of the ecology of the Kamawesaur Dragon King, would interrupt it every time it tried to call.

He kept getting new wounds on his body, but he had no way to deal with the opponent. Just like the Blue Bear Beast before, the Kamaweasel Dragon King had already begun to think about retreating.

After a deterrent roar, the Kamaitachi Dragon King twisted its body, swung its tail behind it, and forced Ye Zi back, while it itself spread its legs and fled away like the wind.

At that speed, unless Ye Zi could use the Kinsect to fly in the sky all the time, he would probably not be able to catch up.

However, Ye Zi had no intention of chasing him any further. He just whistled, signaling the Fukuki Rabbit in the sky to follow the Kamaitachi Dragon King. Then he put the iron sword behind him and turned to walk towards the bushes where Lin Lin was hiding.

Even though she didn't get hurt at all in the fight just now, she concentrated all her energy and used up a lot of her physical strength by moving around. Her condition had deteriorated a lot. Even though she was reckless, she knew that her current condition was not suitable for pursuit.

"Well done."

Seeing Ye Zi coming over, Lin Lin stood up and applauded.

Should we say that he is worthy of being the destined protagonist? His performance is much better than when he first debuted.

"Hey, thank you, Brother Lin Lin!"

Ye Zi accepted Lin Lin's praise frankly, then took out a piece of food from the hound Xiaobai's portable prop bag, peeled off the outer packaging, and started to chew it directly with the water bag.

In fact, she was not hungry. The dumplings she had eaten earlier had not been digested yet. She just didn't want to give the sickle-weasel dragon king, who had just been injured, too much rest time, so she planned to quickly replenish her energy and chase after him.

"correct!"

Ye Zi was chewing on the food he brought with him when he suddenly turned his eyes and looked at Lin Lin. Lin Lin tilted his head, "What's wrong?"

Ye Zi gave him a sweet smile and said, "Could you please do me a small favor, Brother Lin Lin?"

She made a rather unkind gesture with her fingers to show how small the favour really was.

Lin Lin didn't respond, but just raised his chin. "What do you want me to help you with first?"

Ye Zi opened Xiao Bai's prop bag and pointed. Lin Lin took a glance and found a cylindrical object painted green inside.

Lin Lin thought for a moment and recalled the image of this thing from his memory.

Trap tool... Well, judging from the color, it should be filled with special sticky net rope, which has been mixed into a hole trap.

Ever since he started working as a hunter, he'd never caught anything on any hunting mission. It wasn't because he was the King of the Great West, but mainly because it was too much trouble...

As a result, his knowledge of how to use traps was limited to what was written about them - after all, he had never used them before.

"You want me to help you set a trap?"

Ye Zi nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Um……"

Lin Lin hummed a series of long sounds through his nose, then shook his head under Ye Zi's expectant gaze.

"No, this is your assessment task, and setting traps is also part of the assessment. How can you ask me, an examiner, to help you?"

Lin Lin spoke righteously, as if he was doing this for your own good, which had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he had no experience in setting traps.

Ye Zi's little face fell all of a sudden.

In fact, she knows how to set traps. She has done it many times under the training of Instructor Ni Tai, and her movements are absolutely skilled.

But like Lin Lin, she also thought setting up traps was too troublesome. In the time it took to dig the pit and fill it with soil, she had already cut several times...

I originally wanted to see if I could ask Brother Lin Lin for a little help, but I didn't expect it to be rejected so bluntly. They said they have high standards and strict requirements, but they really don't relax at all...

Ye Zi thought about it, and with a final whistle, he called back Fukuki Rabbit who was monitoring the Kamaitachi Dragon King.

I don’t know how she communicated with this round-faced fat chicken. Lin Lin watched for a long time and only knew that Ye Zi got the information she wanted and then frowned.

"what happened again?"

"That guy has two more sickle-weasel dragons following him. It seems we have to set a trap..."
