Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 177 Restrictions
"Seize the young master?"

"Four-star mission, hunting the mudfish dragon."

Brave almost bit his tongue. "No, buddy? How did you get a four-star upgrade without me even noticing? How come I didn't know?"

Lin Lin rolled his eyes. "It hasn't been upgraded yet. It's still three stars."

Brave breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay. It was okay. How could the gap between people be so big?
But then he reacted:

"Hiss... That's not right? You're still a three-star player, how come you're accepting a four-star commission?"

Lin Lin walked forward on his own.

"Hasn't it been accepted yet? Besides, why can't a three-star quest accept a four-star quest? Wouldn't it be better to just accept an emergency quest?"

Brave looked at Lin Lin with a strange expression, "When you were promoted to three stars, you hunted the Earth Sand Dragon with me, right?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

So Brave began to count on his fingers:

"After the Earth and Sand Dragon, there are two Peak Dragon interception missions. And the Super-Large Ancient Dragon interception mission is a special commission that doesn't count towards star rating, right?"

"Correct."

"Then, we'll hitchhike on the caravan and escort them to Jieyun. This is a deal between the two parties and doesn't count towards the commission, right?"

"hold head high."

"From the time you arrived at Jieyun to the time you set off for Yanhuo Village, how many three-star commissions did you find time to complete?"

Lin Lin vaguely felt what Brave was going to say.

"No, I didn't do it..."

"So what you're saying is that in the less than half a month in Yanhuo Village, you've already completed at least three three-star commissions?"

Lin Lin was sweating profusely.

"just one time……"

It's bad. After killing the Kappa Frog, he only thought about the huge improvement in his own strength, but forgot the rules of the guild.

There are usually only two ways to upgrade the hunter level. If you complete a sufficient number of corresponding star-level tasks, you can apply to the guild for a promotion assessment commission, and you can be promoted after successfully completing it. If the accumulated number of tasks is not enough, you can choose to complete emergency tasks to complete the promotion.

But the problem is, although the requirements for accepting emergency missions are much lower than those for promotion assessment missions, it is not completely without requirements. To accept a four-star emergency mission, the hunter must have at least five completion records of missions of the corresponding level... Although this requirement will be relaxed in some extremely critical situations, given the current situation of Yanhuo Village, it has obviously not reached this level yet.

"Hahaha, come take the three-star mission with me! We might even be more efficient if we do it together, and then we can challenge the four-star mission together!"

Brave felt better.

Lin Lin was silent for a moment, thinking that what Brave said made sense, so he did not refute it.

Although he felt that he was no longer a threat in dealing with three-star monsters, having one more person would improve efficiency. So what else could he say? Just do it, and try to complete the goal within a week!
"What were you talking about just now?"

Before entering the meeting place, a young girl caught up with him with brisk steps.

You don't need to turn your head to look, you can tell it's Ye Zi by the voice.

And judging from the way he was mumbling, he might have a bunch of rabbit dumplings stuffed in his mouth.

Lin Lin turned his head and saw that, as expected, he had two skewers in his left hand and three in his right hand, with his cheeks bulging. He was probably eating in a snack shop not far away.

There was nothing to hide, so Lin Lin told everyone about his plan.

But Ye Zi blinked her eyes and tried hard to swallow the rabbit dumpling in her mouth:
"Brother Lin Lin! Didn't you say you would take me with you on your next hunt?"

Lin Lin was scratching his head, not knowing what to say, but luckily he was not alone at the moment. Brave poked his head out from behind him at the right moment: "Huh? Is it Miss Yezi?"

"As I recall, you're not an official hunter yet, right? We're going to take on a three-star mission, so you can't tag along."

Ye Zi looked at Brave, then turned his gaze to Lin Lin. Without saying a word, he just blinked his big eyes and looked at him hard.

Lin Lin: ...

"Well...it's not really that I can't follow."

"You can accept any other missions as long as they are heading to the same destination as us. We can then act together."

"It's just that you can't participate in the hunting process. You can only watch from the sidelines, just like when I was the examiner yesterday."

Then Ye Zi's eyes curved into crescents.

"Okay! Brother Lin Lin, let's go!"

Brave's eyes wandered back and forth between Lin Lin and Ye Zi. He always felt that something had happened to these two people while he was working hard to study the techniques of the katana.
……

In order to save time, the destination chosen for hunting was naturally the abandoned shrine.

As long as you are lucky enough and find the target's trace early, you may be able to go there and come back on the same day.

Lin Lin looked at the documents Shui Yun had listed. He had just flipped through them casually when his eyes suddenly paused in surprise.

"So there are also sand dragons around the abandoned shrine?"

Don't monsters like these usually live in places like sand plains? Abandoned Shrine has mountains and water, but not much mud. So, could a Sand Dragon live there?

Shui Yun looked at the receipt and then shook her head slightly:

"You misunderstood. There has never been a Sand Dragon in the Abandoned Shrine before."

On Lin Lin's left, Ye Zi was no longer smiling happily like before, but rather looked serious:
"Could it be... a Night Parade of a Hundred Dragons?"

Shui Yun still shook her head, "I can't be sure yet, I can only say that there is a possibility."

Brave thought silently for a moment, "Then where did this sand dragon come from?"

Shui Yun was somewhat aware of this. Her expression didn't change much, but there was a hint of worry in her voice:
"This is the report Instructor Ni Tai submitted when he returned to the village yesterday. There seems to be a small-scale disturbance in the ecology surrounding Feiye Fortress recently. He also mentioned reports of eyewitnesses of mysterious lightning..."

Lightning?

Lin Lin and Brave looked at each other. The outskirts of Feiye Fortress, isn’t that the far end of Jieyun?

It seems that the turmoil caused by the Thunder Wolf Dragon has gradually begun to unfold, and time is running out...

"Sorry, I accidentally got off topic."

Shui Yun brought the topic back to the Sand Dragon itself: "Because they had to guard against another monster rebellion, Instructor Ni Tai didn't have the energy to deal with this Sand Dragon that broke through the gap in the mountain range. He could only submit the commission to the assembly hall."

"You two have both fought against the Sand Dragon before, so I highly recommend this quest."

Lin Lin collected his thoughts and turned to look at Brave: "I think this is it, what do you think?"

His Earth Sand Shield Axe was still short of some materials to be upgraded to an Earth Sand Hard Armor Shield Axe. He originally thought that he would have to go to Rocklak next time to get it, but he didn't expect that there was one here in the Abandoned Shrine. If he let it run away, it would be a shame for his weapon!

"Okay, that's it!"

Brave also nodded. He had fought against monsters like the Sand Dragon before and was relatively familiar with it. It would be perfect to use it to practice his new moves!
