Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 192 The King of Pranks

One day, the originally peaceful submerged forest was suddenly attacked by unknown invisible life forms.

"Run!"

"But--"

Brave hesitated to speak. It was just a thick fog. Was it necessary to react so strongly?

Lin Lin rubbed his temples and tried to sense again but to no avail. He just quickened his pace again.

"This fog is abnormal. It's getting thicker too quickly. I'm afraid it's not a natural phenomenon!"

"Isn't it a natural phenomenon?"

Brave frowned slightly. "You mean, this was done by a monster? What kind of monster could do this?"

When he was at a high altitude before, he had noticed the range of the fog. It almost covered all visible areas. Is it really possible for a living creature to create such a thick fog?
Lin Lin tried hard to determine the direction in the fog. As the fog density increased and visibility decreased, the speed they had just increased was inevitably slowed down again.

Looking back helplessly, Lin Lin uttered a word:
"Before you saw the Peak Dragon, did you believe that monsters of that size existed in the world?"

This sentence made Brave silent. After a while, he asked:
"You mean... Ancient Dragon?"

Lin Lin nodded gently:

"As far as I know, there's an ancient dragon called Onaziqi (Mist Dragon) that can easily create fogs of this magnitude. It possesses the ability to become invisible and can even spit out deadly poison. I suspect there's a Mist Dragon living in the Submerged Forest."

Brave looked at Lin Lin in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy, who had just been promoted to four stars like himself, knew so much information.

As the incarnation of natural disasters, the ancient dragon would easily cause widespread panic once known to the public. Therefore, the guild has blocked its information to a certain extent, making the existence of the ancient dragon unknown to ordinary people.

Even for hunters, unless they have to fight against Peak Dragons all year round like Rocklak, they often do not come into contact with much information about ancient dragons before they are promoted to higher positions. Even for Rocklak, most hunters only know about Peak Dragons as a type of ancient dragon. How can they talk about it as fluently and clearly as Lin Lin?

Ye Zi looked at Lin Lin on the left, then looked at Brave on the right, then blinked and felt the disparity of the world again.

They are both newly promoted four-star hunters, why is there such a big gap?

"So, this Xialong is very strong?"

Lin Lin's face looked unhappy, and his breathing was a little rapid. Looking at the fog that reduced visibility again in just a few minutes, he whispered:

"It's not a question of strength. Ancient dragons are mobile disasters, and the disasters that a Mist Dragon can bring are powerful poisonous fogs that are enough to cover a large city."

Ye Zi was startled and subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with his hand, while reaching into his backpack with his other hand to take out the antidote.

Lin Lin shook his head. "Don't worry too much. If this fog is really caused by the Xialong, then at least it's in a good mood right now. This fog is just fog, not poisonous. As long as we don't attract its attention, we should be able to evacuate safely."

Looking at the thick fog that was constantly reducing visibility, Lin Lin sighed, "Everyone, be careful. Watch your step and don't lose your way."

After a pause, Lin Lin suddenly looked at Brave, "What's wrong?"

"what?"

Brav looked at Lin Lin in confusion and said, "I didn't call you. Why are you asking me suddenly?"

Lin Lin frowned, "Didn't you just pat me?"

"Of course not..."

Brave's words gradually became stuck, and he looked at Lin Lin, and goose bumps began to appear all over his body.

"No, not really?" If I remember correctly, Lin Lin had said before that this Xialong, in addition to mist and poison, also has an ability of invisibility, right?

Dude, do you have to be so unlucky?
Lin Lin rubbed his brows in distress and started listening again.

'whee……'

A laughter like a silver bell flashed through my mind. When I closed my eyes, it was as if there was a mischievous little girl beside me making faces at me.

Of course, reason told him that this was not some clever little girl, but an ancient dragon that could easily take his life if it wanted to.

TMD Xialong, Joan of Arc is a mud-eating duck!

I opened my eyes stiffly, and it seemed as if a breeze was blowing by my side. But when I looked again, there was still only white mist.

Looking at the ugly faces of the two men, how could Ye Zi not know what had happened?
She bit her lip, raised her hand to the insect stick behind her, and prepared to fight to the death.

Lin Lin noticed her movements and quickly spoke out to stop her:

"and many more!"

In order to avoid irritating Xia Long who was hiding and peeping nearby, Lin Lin didn't even dare to make any drastic movements, and even tried to keep his voice as low as possible.

"Don't draw your sword. It means no harm to us... at least not now. Don't provoke it!"

Lin Lin's forehead was covered with sweat, his listening ability remained open, his brain was working rapidly, thinking about ways to break the deadlock.

"Dates."

An idea flashed through his mind, and Lin Lin called out softly, "We'll make a little noise later, and you can take Xiaobai back to the camp."

"But meow, Boss..."

Coconut Date felt a pang in his heart, unwilling to abandon his boss and fend for himself.

Lin Lin waved his hand quickly: "I'm not asking you to run away. Xiaobai is fast and you can speak Hunter's language. I'm asking you to go back first so that you can travel light. Then go to the cargo ship to find Yang Yan and tell him about our situation."

Once a fight breaks out, Yang Yan, the tough guy who was able to escape from Lan Long with a baby in his arms, will be their only hope. As for whether the other party is willing to come to rescue... that depends on God's will.

As soon as they discovered Xialong hiding beside them, Lin Lin and his group stopped where they were and looked around suspiciously. This vigilant look probably touched Xialong's strike zone. It did not make any other moves for the time being, but just hid quietly beside them, observing the reactions of the humans with a smile in its heart.

But after waiting for a while, the three of them stood there, and nothing changed except exchanging a few words with each other. Xialong felt a little unsatisfied again, so he quietly stuck out his tongue and poked Ye Zi's butt.

"Yeah!"

Ye Zi instinctively raised her hands to protect her hips. Before the blush even reached her cheeks, her face turned pale again after realizing that it was the work of the invisible monster. She subconsciously wanted to draw her weapon again.

"Don't release the hunting bug!"

Lin Lin quickly stopped him, "Xialong likes to eat insects, don't let Xiaojia fight!"

"This guy just enjoys playing pranks and wants to see our reactions, so we'll just let him see what he wants to see!"

"Act a little panic, let's pretend to run separately, giving the dates a chance to return and report!"

"it is good!"

Ye Zi nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Brave curled his lips and thought to himself, even if he informed the grocer, what would happen? Could he still defeat Gu Long?
But then he thought again, firstly, he didn't understand the monster like Xialong, and secondly, he couldn't think of any other way. What else could he do?
Listen to Lin Lin!
