Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 181: Big Events of the Week—Not That Big Actually
The Earth Sand Dragon left in a very uneasy manner.

This guy accidentally entered an abandoned shrine, where there was no suitable habitat for him. On his way to escape, he accidentally broke into the habitat of a poisonous dog dragon king. Naturally, the two sides started fighting for territory.

If the Earth Sand Dragon was in its prime, the Poison Dog Dragon King would not be its opponent at all, but unfortunately one of its legs was almost crippled by Lin Lin, and its condition deteriorated seriously, and it was actually defeated by the much weaker Poison Dog Dragon King.

Just at this moment, Lin Lin and his group happened to catch up. Seeing the opportunity, Ye Zi immediately threw out her Kinsect and inserted the iron insect wire into the body of the Sand Dragon. She controlled the weak big guy to attack the Poison Dog Dragon King.

And the result...

Naturally, the Earth Sand Dragon was forced to not dodge or evade, and endured the poisonous gas exhaled by the Poison Dog Dragon King. It was crippled by the Poison Dog Dragon King with two headbutts. It was already quite weak, and after being corroded by the strong poison, it fell to the ground when it was forced to take another step, and died instantly.

Then, Ye Zi pulled out the insect stick and, with almost no effort, sent the poisonous dog Dragon King, who was lying on the ground whimpering, back to heaven.

Lin Lin: ...

Brave: ...

As for Ye Zi's involvement in the three-star mission, she also had her reasons. Her target was the Poison Dog Dragon King. Now she had the opportunity to defeat the opponent directly by riding the dragon. Why should she let the Earth Sand Dragon leave and then fight the Poison Dog Dragon King in full health by herself?

As for not dodging or evading the attacks of the Poison Dog Dragon King when riding the dragon?

That's because her skills are still rusty, and it has absolutely nothing to do with wanting to help!
……

The process of hunting the Sand Dragon this time can be said to be much easier than the time in Rocklark. Except for Brave's demonstration of the "ugly appearance of a sword shrimp", the mission can be said to have no accidents.

It seems that through this hunting of the Sand Dragon, Brave also realized that although Iai is good, it cannot be used blindly. In the subsequent three-star missions, his combat performance has improved significantly in each one.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

During this week, nothing major happened. Yanhuo Village was as quiet and peaceful as ever. The village's melting pot was burning day and night, and the villagers' lives had not changed much.

But when it comes to small things, there are quite a few of them.

The first thing to do is that the Magatama Bee Farm, led by Sui Fengmin, has officially started operations. Although it is only a small-scale pilot project and the expected Magatama Honey output is quite limited, it has become possible for those hunters from Yanhuo Village who have left their hometown to use their hometown Kinsects while away from home.

Lin Lin, who originally proposed the idea, was naturally very happy about this. Although this was a huge gap from what Sui Fengmin had expected, which was to promote the Kinsect to the entire continent, at least when he left Yanhuo Village and went back to deal with the Thunder Wolf Dragon unrest, he could still continue to use the Kinsect. This was already quite good news.

The second thing is about the little puff that Lin Lin picked up and brought home.

In order to get promoted soon, Lin Lin went out hunting frequently during this period. Naturally, Yezao and Tiaotiao accompanied him as hunting partners. However, Lin Lin was really worried about leaving the little guy alone at home. He walked around the village and finally entrusted the task of taking care of the cub to Huoya. After being a little surprised at the beginning, the beautiful and kind-hearted sister Huoya really began to take good care of the little guy when Lin Lin was not around.

It has to be said that Huoya was born with a special affinity. When she went to the Followers' Square, the hounds all liked to play with her. And the little Puff, who usually loved to act coquettishly towards Lin Lin, let down her guard against Huoya not long after she first met her, and the two quickly became close.

Brave and Ye Zi had also visited the little fellow, but it took them a long time to gain his trust, and their closeness wasn't nearly as strong as Huoya's. It could be said that if one ranked all the beings around him in Little Puff's heart, Lin Lin would be first, Huoya second, and even Yezao, who often played with him, would only be third. And the third thing was about Brave.

Although he learned a few sword techniques from the Flame Village, he did not raise two Kinsects like Lin Lin and Ye Zi did. It was not that he was unwilling to do so, but he had to give up after raising larvae three times and all of them died midway.

According to Brave's own words, he might be born to dislike insects. When he was blending certain props that required insects, his failure rate was frighteningly high. Later, he simply gave up blending this kind of props and went directly to the grocery store to buy them.

On a related note, despite the frequent setbacks in Kinsect breeding, his long-cherished goal of taming the Fanghound was making promising progress. When he first settled in the village, he followed Huoya's guidance and found a young man named Daoji, bringing him back a Fanghound pup. After more than half a month of feeding, the little puppy was thriving—of course, it would take at least another six months for it to grow to the point where it could participate in hunting.

After visiting Lin Lin's little Puff, Brave also took Lin Lin back to see his little puppy, under the pretext of exchanging parenting experiences, but Lin Lin felt that this guy was just showing off... although Lin Lin didn't know what he was showing off.

As for the other one, although it is young, it can be seen that most of its fur is pale blue, and there are two fiery red stripes on the side of its body extending all the way to its tail. When it grows up, it will surely look quite majestic.

The moment he saw this appearance, Lin Lin had some associations in his mind. When he learned that Brave had not yet decided what to name the little guy, he took the initiative to offer suggestions.

"Would you like me to give it a name?"

"No, no, I'll just figure it out on my own."

"why?"

"Why don't you look at your naming skills? The Yellow Speed Dragon King is called Tiao Tiao, and the Bubble Fox Dragon is called Puff... Eh~"

Lin Lin was a little bit broken by Brave's disgusted look:

"Don't rush to refuse, why don't you listen to the name I came up with?"

"Well...what do you say?"

Although he said so, Brave's eyes clearly showed that he had great distrust in Lin Lin's ability to name.

"How about calling me 'Cang Xiang'?"

Brave blinked, surprisingly it sounded quite nice.

"That sounds all right, but how did you come up with that? Why don't I understand the meaning of it?"

"This is the name of a legendary beast from my hometown. It has the power to cut through everything with a divine sword. It's the King of Swords - Cang Xiang. This is the name of my ardent expectations for this little fellow!"

"That's great, but isn't your hometown Jieyun Village? Are there any other legendary monsters there besides the Thunder Wolf Dragon?"
