Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 189 Thank you for the gift of nature
Monsters like mud dragons have a very special feature. Once their scales dry, they will lose their strength and become brittle. Normally, they will wrap their bodies with mud to keep them moist, so that fire attacks will have little effect. However, once the mud is peeled off, the burning flames will make their scales fragile, thereby increasing the damage caused by the attack in disguise.

The reason why Lin Lin proposed this plan was naturally based on this consideration.

The general direction of the battle plan had been finalized, and what remained were some minor details. Lin Lin had nothing to do and did not dare to move his body too much, so apart from chatting, he could only focus on pondering the details of the battle, and spent two days like this.

……

It’s the fifth day since arriving at Shuimolin.

First, as planned, Lin Lin and others ran to the high ground and dug several large pits, set traps, and covered the scene so that there was almost no trace.

Lin Lin twisted his waist and felt nothing unusual. It seemed that lying in the camp for two days did not make his physical strength decline, but made his body stronger.

"Huh—that's about it, let's go and get our revenge!"

Lin Lin set off first, followed closely by Brave. Ye Zi looked around, frowned slightly, muttered to himself, then shook his head slightly and followed.

——As for mugwort, they left it in the camp. Anyway, the mudfish dragon had been found. After they got rid of that guy, it wouldn’t be too late to let the girl come fishing.

When they returned to the lake, the three people, the cat, and the dog did not immediately stir the water to lure the mud dragon. Instead, they kept a certain distance and observed the monster that came to the lake to drink water.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Jujube's ears moved. He quietly parted the bushes to take a look, then turned his head and lowered his voice:
"Boss, we found three elf deer meows. Want to attack meow?"

Lin Lin took a look and immediately made the decision:

"That one on the left! That's an old guy."

Lin Lin had just made the decision when he heard a whoosh and Ye Zi leaped out.

With the help of the two Kinsects and the jet device of the insect stick, Ye Zi didn't even need to land on the ground. He just took advantage of the treetops occasionally and quietly arrived above the three elf deer that came to the lake to drink water.

After adjusting the position slightly, Ye Zi threw out another Kinsect, and with a Dragon Slaying Technique, he stabbed it straight down, killing the poor Elf Deer cleanly and neatly.

Pulling out the skinning knife, Ye Zi did not start to peel the horns of Suzuka, the elven deer with the highest medicinal value. Instead, he cut open the guy's stomach and pulled out the stomach, intestines and other organs. The smell of blood immediately spread.

Seeing that there was enough space in the deer's belly, Ye Zi put away the skinning knife and dipped it in the lake water to rinse it twice.

Then, Ye Zi opened the prop bag, took out several bottles of purple liquid in glass bottles, and stuffed them directly into the elf deer's stomach.

Although Lin Lin was recuperating from his injuries these past two days and couldn't move much, she and Brave were fine. After completing her mission to defeat the poisonous dog dragon, she followed Lin Lin's instructions and collected a lot of poisonous mushrooms. After mashing them into juice, she specially put them into a glass bottle that had not been specially treated and was quite fragile, all for this moment.

The juice of these poisonous mushrooms is large in quantity and sealed in glass jars, so it will not emit any smell to arouse the other party's vigilance. Once the mudfish dragon eats the bait, these fragile glass bottles will quickly make it taste the poison.

It was not enough to just stuff the "poison bottle" in. Ye Zi took out another bottle of light yellow liquid and stuffed it in as well.

This is the paralyzing venom from Tiao Tiao. It can be put into a bottle and used as a "paralyzing bottle". Lin Lin usually collects a lot of it. This time when he came to Shui Meilin, he also brought some with him. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy.

After doing this, Ye Zi stuffed the scattered organs back into the corpse's stomach. Worried that the contents might spill out, she also used the intestine to tie two loops around the deer corpse. Then she raised her hand and swung out the Kinsect. It flew away again, leaping a few times in the air before returning to Lin Lin and Brave. "Done!"

Lin Lin smiled and said, "Then we just have to wait for the fish to take the bait."

Brave glanced at Lin Lin, curled his lips and said nothing. Although hunters, who are at a natural disadvantage compared to monsters, can use any means, this trap that goes beyond the traditional sense... well, is somewhat not so fair.

Speaking of which, since the first time he hunted the Dog Dragon King, Lin Lin had never used this method in hunting. If he hadn't been injured while hunting the Mud Fish Dragon this time, he wouldn't know when he would think of this trick again...

Time passed by minute by minute, and Lin Lin and the other two kept their eyes on the direction of the deer corpse. At a certain moment, Lin Lin suddenly frowned:

"What time is it now?"

Ye Zi estimated, "Just about five minutes have passed."

"No, I mean, what time of day is it?"

Brave looked up at the sky, his brows slightly furrowed. "By the way I feel, it's almost noon."

Ye Zi looked around, not understanding why the two looked a little strange, until Lin Lin pointed at the white mist covering the lake, then he showed a look of sudden realization.

"Generally speaking, this kind of mist only appears in the morning or evening when there's a big temperature difference, but it's already noon and there's no sign of it dissipating."

Brave nodded and looked at the sky again. The layers of rainforest were also shrouded in misty water vapor.

"It must be the special climate of Shuimanglin, right? It rains too much in this lousy place, so the fog doesn't dissipate easily."

Lin Lin pursed his lips slightly, thinking back to the terrible weather in Shuimein Forest that he had witnessed in the past few days. It was almost as bad as the weather of Lanlong. Although Shuimein Forest was not very close to Lingfeng, it was definitely not far away. It was impossible for there to be another Lanlong here.

"Yeah, this place has always been like this. I must be making a fuss."

After a while, ripples suddenly appeared on the water surface. The three of them immediately tensed up and stared at the bait.

"puff"

A brown-black mud fish jumped out from the water, bit the corpse of the elf deer lying on the ground, and swallowed it into its stomach in a few bites.

Lin Lin exhaled slightly, "It's not bad. Although this guy is a bit troublesome to fight, he doesn't have much brains. Let's go, don't let him go back into the water!"

Brave rolled his eyes. "I don't think many monsters have ever seen a hunter deliberately poison them."

"That's a lack of caution. Do you really think this is a gift from nature?"
