Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 220 Deep in the Cave
The cold wind howled past, and even hot drinks could not completely dispel the chill.

Lin Lin took a deep breath and looked up at the snow-covered mountain before him. At the base of the mountain, the entrance to a deep, ice-blue cave loomed, its edges frosted with glittering icicles, like the fangs of a giant beast, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.

Looking back at the outline of the islands looming in the twilight, Lin Lin subconsciously clenched the pickaxe in his hand and walked into the cave.

Although the cave was colder and the temperature was lower, Lin Lin felt much better without the howling wind.

I hope my luck isn't too bad this time...

Lin Lin muttered.

At dawn today, he took his pickaxe and began his own mining journey according to Brave's plan. However, perhaps he lacked a little luck. Along the way, he dug up a lot of sparrow stone, pyroxene stone, and even crane stone. Only the snow metal he wanted the most could not be found. After digging in the area near the camp for a whole day, he only dug out a little over one kilogram of snow metal.

In desperation, Lin Lin suggested expanding the excavation range a little further outwards, for example, the deep cave in front of him did not look like a safe place.

"So, you should be the one planning the route..."

Brave stretched his limbs and followed Lin Lin with his pickaxe.

After this trip, the results were not satisfactory, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

As they went deeper into the cave, the sunlight became less and less sustainable, so Lin Lin and the others had to take out torches for lighting.

The walls were covered with a thick layer of ice, and the ground beneath their feet was so slippery that it was difficult to stand steadily. Coupled with the claustrophobic space, this was simply a favorite filming location for horror movies. If an ordinary person with a weaker mind were to be put here, he would probably be scared crazy in no time. However, for the two hunters present who had just hunted a flying dragon, their only focus was on whether they could dig up enough snow-glowing metal.

After walking along the corridor for an unknown amount of time, the narrow passage gradually opened up. With the help of the flickering light of the torches, Lin Lin spotted a relatively exposed cluster of ice-blue minerals.

This color is, without a doubt, Snow Metallic!
Lin Lin glanced around and took a special look at the stalactites above to confirm that there were no strange things like cows and sanitary napkins hidden around the mineral cluster. Then he walked over quickly.

"Ding"

The refined tungsten pickaxe tip collided with the ore cluster, making a crisp sound of metal clashing. Brave stood aside as a guard, and at the same time couldn't help but strengthen the idea of letting Lin Lin do all the future planning.

Damn, following his route, he didn't gain much after walking for a whole day. But after following Lin Lin's suggestion, he got a great start in less than half an hour. Nature is too biased.

Suddenly, Brave's ears moved, and he keenly detected a smaller sound from the crisp "ding" sound.

"Be careful! Something is approaching!"

Lin Lin raised his eyebrows, paused in swinging the pickaxe, and silently activated his perception.

After a moment, Lin Lin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He put the pickaxe back behind his back and pulled out the earth and sand hard armor shield axe.

I was just wondering where to find you, and now you come to my door. Is that okay?
A few seconds later, the crack in the middle of the ice not far away suddenly cracked, and accompanied by a sharp roar, a monster about two meters long broke through the ice and rushed straight towards Brave!

Brave was prepared for this guy's attack. He held the sword in front of him, blocking the guy's attack path.

"Bang!" The sword knocked open the spiral hard shell on the tip of the attacker's head, and successfully deflected the direction of the opponent's leap, causing it to fall to the side.

Although he successfully pushed the opponent away, Brave himself did not feel well. The attacker was quite "fat". Even though he was only two meters tall, the impact of his pounce was more than one ton. The recoil force made his arms feel a little numb.

Brave did not launch a counterattack immediately. He held the sword and recalled in his mind the movements he made to deflect the opponent's attack. He always felt that the movements he made unintentionally seemed very handsome... No, it can be studied. Maybe it can be applied in actual combat in the future.

Although Brave did not pursue, the life of this deformed young ice shark still came to an end. Lin Lin rushed forward excitedly, slapped the opponent's head with a shield, knocking it over, and at the same time, the hammer-like sword had pierced into its throat and twisted it vigorously.

"Hahaha, now I've got Samehada's scales as well, which saves me a lot of trouble!"

"Is this the transformed baby ice shark?"

Brave thought about it for a moment, then put the sword back behind his back, walked forward, and poked the dead shark curiously.

"Why is its head so pointy?"

"Then let me ask you, without this pointed head, how could it have broken through the ice so quickly to launch a surprise attack?"

"Hiss...it seems so. Nature is truly amazing. Every strange body part has its own reason for existence."

Lin Lin rolled his eyes. Is it really necessary to lament about such things for no reason?

"Okay, dig the mine quickly and get out of here."

The smell of blood will bring trouble, which is common knowledge among all hunters. Although there are not many monsters that can cause trouble for four-star hunters, their purpose today is just to collect.

Lin Lin gently rubbed the "sharkhada scales" with his fingers. The scales peeled off from the transformed young ice shark gave people a very wonderful feel. It was as smooth as silk when touching along the direction, but it felt prickly like countless burrs when touching against the direction. Lin Lin probably understood why such a material was added to the weapon.

"Wait... there seems to be another sound?"

Lin Lin had just folded up a small pile of scales and put them away when a slight vibration under his feet caught his attention.

"Another transformed baby ice shark? Do you have enough material? If not, you can kill two more."

Brave knocked the pickaxe down with all his might, and finally broke the last part of the ore cluster into pieces. However, the low temperature at which the thing condensed made the tuplinite become much more brittle. He used too much force, and the tip of the pickaxe broke directly, and Iron Pickaxe G was declared scrapped.

Brave clicked his tongue and leaned over to pick up the snowy metal fragments, but when his palm touched the ground, his movement suddenly stopped.

"Something's wrong. This time it seems to be a big guy, and..."

Before Braif could finish his words, the entire cave began to shake violently.

Icicles fell from the ice wall, and the ground began to crack. Then, a deafening roar echoed from the depths of the cave. A gigantic monster appeared from around the corner, staring intently at the two of them.
