Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 219: Feeding Lieyan with Chicken Soup

Due to the fierce battle between the Ice Fang Dragon and the Boom Dragon before its death, the materials on many parts of the Ice Fang Dragon were damaged to varying degrees, and Lin Lin and his team did not peel off many usable materials.

However, this is not much compared to a flying dragon that is more than 20 meters long. All the materials piled together are still like a small mountain, and still need a cart to transport them. Unfortunately, the only cart they originally had had turned into broken wooden debris in the attack of the Ice Fang Dragon and the Thunder Dragon.

So Lin Lin and Brave had to use local materials, cut down some pine trees from the Frozen Islands, and built an ugly and broken cart - this was actually the result of the guidance of Coconut Date, otherwise the knowledge reserves of the two hunters were obviously not enough to support them in building a moving cart.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Ice Fang Dragon is already a powerful creature standing at the top of the ecology in this area. Apart from the Booming Reptile that usually passes by, there are basically no large monsters active nearby. The Sleeping Dog Dragon and the like attracted by the Ice Fang Dragon's corpse pose no threat to the two four-star hunters.

The biggest trouble on the entire return journey was not encountering any monsters, but the simple cart was unable to bear the weight and fell apart on the spot.

This time, in order to avoid any accidents in subsequent use, Jujube only let the two hunters do some rough work like cutting wood boards, and he did almost the entire process himself, reassembling a brand new cart. The cart was neat and tidy, much better than the ugly one that Lin Lin and his team had made as a makeshift.

"Date, that's amazing!"

Brave was generous with his praise, and at the same time, he fully demonstrated his sour nature: "Why didn't such a capable Elu follow me..."

Lin Lin laughed and rubbed the little head of the date:

"My date palm has achieved what it has today thanks to its own hard work and talent. You can't envy it!"

……

Camp.

After a long journey, it was already dark when Lin Lin and the others returned here.

The weather today is not very sunny. Heavy leaden clouds cover the sky. No bright stars or bright moon can be seen. There is only the howling cold wind.

"Brother Lin Lin, did you succeed?"

Although Ye Zi said she stayed in the camp to recuperate, her injuries were not actually that serious. With sufficient medicines, she recovered quickly. She was just afraid that she would cause trouble if she went there, so she stayed in the camp honestly.

Seeing the cart of materials that Lin Lin and his team pushed back, Ye Zi put down the insect-raising essence in his hand and walked over in small steps:
"Is this the material for the Ice Fang Dragon? Can I touch it?"

Lin Lin shrugged helplessly, "Why can't I touch this?"

So Ye Zi grabbed an amber fang, waved it in the air twice, and sighed with some disappointment after a moment.

"what happened?"

Lin Lin felt that he should care about his teammate's mental health to prevent her from suffering any psychological trauma from this injury.

"Nothing," Ye Zi shook his head, "I just feel so useless that I can't help Brother Lin Lin and the others at all."

Lin Lin, Ye Zi, and Brave fought the Ice Fang Dragon and had to retreat in disgrace, but Lin Lin and Brave were able to successfully hunt the other party. This shows that Ye Zi is just a burden. Lin Lin felt that something was wrong. Was Ye Zi's Taoism blocked?

This won’t do. If he destroys the flames in Yanhuo Village, won’t he become a sinner?

So Lin Lin stretched out his hands, pressed Ye Zi's shoulders, and looked at the girl seriously.

"Listen to me, Yezi, this is not your problem."

"You're only seventeen. Others your age are still training to become official hunters with a star rank, but you're already a two-star hunter. If you hadn't come with us to the Frozen Islands, you would have been promoted to three stars, right?"

"Among hunters at the two-star or even three-star level, only a very small number have ever seen a flying dragon. Yet, you, facing the attack of a flying dragon with a danger level close to five stars, were able to hold out for so long, and ultimately withdrew with only minor injuries. Do you understand what this means?"

"Yezi, you are a true genius. I am absolutely certain of this. All you lack is time. I believe that once you reach four stars, you will be able to defeat the Ice Fang Dragon even if you face it alone."

Ye Zi felt a little embarrassed by the praise, especially since Lin Lin was holding her shoulders so that she couldn't look away. At this moment, her face seemed to be burning with fire. On the one hand, her heart was beating fast, and on the other hand, she felt that she was not worthy of Lin Lin's high praise.

"No...Brother Lin Lin, you should be the genius..."

"I?"

Lin Lin shook his head. "I'm already twenty... Oh, I should be twenty-one by the beginning of next spring. Maybe compared to most hunters, I'm pretty good, but I'm far from a true genius. If I had faced the Ice Fang Dragon at two stars, I definitely wouldn't have been able to perform better than you."

This is the truth. Lin Lin's family knows his own business. When he was at the second star level, he had just become a hunter not long ago. It was difficult for him to even poop. His physical fitness was far from the current level. Even though he was familiar with the movements of the Ice Fang Dragon, his mind understood it, but his body definitely could not keep up.

In order to prove the credibility of his words, Lin Lin pointed to Brave who was organizing storage boxes on the side.

"Look at him. Although he and I have just taken down an Ice Fang Dragon, before that, he spent over a year in the City Tournament Guerrilla Team in Rocklak, facing Pterosaurs, Yellow Speed Dragons, and other small Karami every day. He only got promoted to three stars after coming to Flame Village with me. Do you think he can be called a genius?"

Brave:?

No, man, this is a bit heartbreaking!

Just comfort the little girl, why bring me along?

He pulled his head out of the storage box, turned around to look at Lin Lin, and rolled his eyes:
"I say, if you want to forge the 'Viking Shield,' don't you also need Snow Metal and Samehada scales? Have you planned where to get them?"

Lin Lin patted Ye Zi's shoulder encouragingly, thinking that after drinking this chicken soup for the soul, this girl should be able to regain her confidence, right?
So he turned his gaze to Braif, "Did you know that Snowlight Metal is also needed to forge Ice Fang Dragon armor? I thought you had already researched the location of the mine and was ready to follow you to mine!"

Brave:
