Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 18 Sophia

"Aoongang! Aoongang!"

Everything in front of him was still blurry, and he couldn't see the attacker's face at all, but the pain kept coming. The dog dragon leader swung his body frantically, shaking his head and tail to force the attacker back, but his strong and powerful tail swept away nothing.

I forced my eyes open and could vaguely see a figure standing in front of me. The "claws" in its hands were interlocking together, making a strange sound that I had never heard before.

"Untie the fucking thing!"

With a shout, the "claws" changed again, first separating, then reuniting, and then transformed into a huge axe flashing with arcs of electricity, drawing an arc and smashing down on its forehead.

"Bang!" "Boom!"

There were two muffled sounds in succession, and the Dog Dragon Leader felt an extremely severe pain in his head. It must have been a large wound torn open. Then a shocking energy was transmitted from the wound, making his head buzz, and his body softened and fell directly to the ground.

“Huh… That feels good.”

After splitting the long-handled axe into a sword and shield and carrying it on his back, Lin Lin breathed a sigh of relief, then threw a dye ball at Goulong's head and turned around and ran away.

Even though he almost broke his waist with this blow, he felt really refreshed after seeing the effect.

Punch the bottle, cushion the knife, shield thrust, and then follow up with a big blow. Although the previous operations are cumbersome, the inertia brought by each action is smoothly integrated into the final blow, making it exert a power that normal round smashing cannot produce.

Of course, as a price, Lin Lin once again felt the weakness and trembling of his arms, but perhaps it was because he did not consume too much physical strength before this move, so he was able to hold the weapon and not let it slip out.

However, after this, his fighting power did decrease a lot. Maybe he could inflict a few more wounds on the monster while it fell to the ground, but when the monster stood up again, he would probably have to face the siege of an enraged monster and its entire clan.

It's too dangerous, it's too moist.

Lin Lin ran through the mountains and forests, chasing the direction where the girl he had just rescued fled - the dangers in the wild are not limited to the dog dragon tribe, and not all unarmed guys can survive in the wild on their own like him.

……

The dog dragon leader was lying on the ground, howling and struggling. He had not yet recovered from the dizziness caused by the flash when that guy hit him hard on the head again. At this moment, his brain was like a paste. Not to mention thinking, he even lost the ability to control his body.

After struggling to get up from the ground, the Dog Dragon Leader tried to shake his head, but when he opened his eyes, he found that blood was flowing everywhere, making his vision blood-red.

I couldn't see the attacker anywhere. I tried to rely on my sense of smell to lock onto the guy with the bloody smell, but when I took a breath, I could only smell a very strong pungent odor. I couldn't get rid of the pink liquid with a blood-colored filter even if I shook my head.

It was so frustrating, extremely frustrating. With such a strong and powerful body, he was actually tricked by that little thing and even knocked down by one blow. It was simply humiliating.

It was angry, extremely angry. The hateful guy who had succeeded in the sneak attack just ran away without giving it a chance to fight back and vent its anger. It was so angry that it almost trembled.

The heart beat rapidly, pumping hot blood throughout the body. Two streams of white steam came out of his nostrils, and his big ears, which looked like scarves, became brighter in color due to the congestion. The dog dragon leader was furious and let out the loudest roar in history.

"Aoangangangangangang!"

Lin Lin, who had already run at least 500 meters away, heard the roar clearly and immediately understood its meaning.

'Guys, chase him! Kill him!'

Shaking his head, Lin Lin quickened his pace again. He had already seen a man and a cat standing by a stream in front of him, still in shock and at a loss.

Walking to the stream, letting the current carry away the blood on his weapon, Lin Lin cleared his throat and went over his words in his mind. After making sure there were no mistakes, he said, "It's not safe here yet. They could catch up with us at any time."

The girl stood up first and bowed to him, "Thank you, Hunter. My name is Sophia."

Uh-huh?

Wait a minute, Sophia?
Lin Lin turned his head and took a closer look at the face. He was indeed wearing glasses, and he did have that unique beauty. But if it wasn't a coincidence, why were you here?
Lin Lin had countless questions he wanted to ask, but considering his limited vocabulary, he decided to ask them later.

He nodded. "My name is Lin Lin. Follow me."

After saying this, Lin Lin led the way silently, while focusing his attention on observing his surroundings.

Behind him, Sophia pulled up the Felyne who was sitting on the ground with despair in her heart, and while trying hard to keep up with Lin Lin's pace and not fall behind, she was thinking secretly in her heart.

This hunter looks so young, probably around the same age as me. He's already a reliable hunter at such a young age, but I've only just become a trainee scribe...

Although he looks handsome and masculine, he is surprisingly taciturn, making me afraid to speak...

Although I encountered danger this time, I finally realized my wish to see a monster with my own eyes. The dog dragon is obviously just a monster at the bottom of its ecological niche, but it is unexpectedly tall and ferocious. I wonder how fascinating the monsters at higher ecological niches would be...

Huh? Oh, and why does this Felyn look so downcast? It's obviously survived a disaster, so it should be happy, right?

While their thoughts were racing, the two people and the cat had already gone through many twists and turns, and after making sure that there was no smell left on their bodies, they returned to the hunters' camp.

"You guys, are you going to Jieyun Village?"

Sophia and the dejected Elu nodded together.

Lin Lin looked at Elu strangely, without saying much, but picked up another steak that he had cut this morning and roasted it over the fire.

"Rest for a while, I'll escort you."

Sophia sat by the fire, feeling a little bored without a book to read. She was curious about the hunter's life but didn't dare to ask because the hunter was so brief and to the point, fearing that he would not want to pay attention to her.

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't know where to start, so I just quietly asked the Felyne beside me:

"What's wrong with you? You look so downcast? Shouldn't you be happy after surviving this ordeal?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't asked, but Sophia's question made the Felyne cat burst into tears.

"Customer meow! I'm so miserable! I borrowed money to buy this car and this maru bird. I finally made back my money bit by bit through business, but now I've lost everything!"

"I have elderly parents and young children to support, and my whole family depends on this little money to support them!"

"Without money, we'll have no choice but to move out of Rocklak and make a living in the cruel desert..."

He even forgot the habitual "meow" at the end of every sentence, which shows how sad this Elu is, which is really heartbreaking.
