Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 223 Blowing Balloons

"Ding!"

With a slight sound, Brave's hands holding the katana shook slightly subconsciously, and at the same time as he deflected the shield axe, the air blade condensed in the blade seemed to be stimulated by this and became violently agitated.

This feeling of excitement was very familiar. Brave subconsciously followed this feeling and swung his sword again, drawing a crescent shape in front of him with the sword.

He actually skipped the trivial pre-swing and directly used the last blow of the air blade combo, the air blade spin!

Brave was slightly startled, but he couldn't be distracted in the fierce battle, so without thinking too much, he assumed the Iai stance again.

——The reason why the sword needs to be sheathed after performing a large spin of the air blade is to allow the qualitatively changed air blade to be better nourished, thereby greatly increasing its duration and preventing it from being consumed and degraded after just two cuts. This can be achieved by simply sheathing the katana, so since he learned Iai, Brave almost never sheathed his sword normally after a large spin.

However, the transformed ice shark did not attack Brave who was right under it at this moment. Lin Lin's powerful move just now not only hit it hard on the head, but the three consecutive explosions of the energy bottles also shattered large pieces of the ice armor on its head, exposing its relatively fragile head again.

So, its hatred is now shifted.

After a brief build-up of momentum, the transformed ice shark rushed forward like a heavy tank covered in hideous armor, vowing to blast the enemy in front of it into pieces.

This time, Lin Lin had no time to slide away and could only hold up his shield to resist.

The shield and axe are good in every way, except that it is really uncomfortable to get hit when the shield is removed. If it were not for the brief buildup of momentum before the transformation of the Ice Shark Dragon Car, Lin Lin might have to use the shield and axe again.

"Boom!"

The moment the shield axe collided with the ice shark's head, Lin Lin felt as if he was facing the violent dragon chariot of the Honglong.

The greaves slid across the ice, plowing two deep grooves. Sparks mixed with ice chips exploded from the shield, and the creaking sound of metal friction was extremely harsh. He could clearly see the ice-blue liquid surging in the ice shark's throat - a sign that the breath was about to erupt.

His body was constantly retreating. Lin Lin glanced behind him, and the rock wall covered with sharp cones of ice was enlarging in his field of vision. The immense force from the shield had made his entire forearm numb and almost numb, and his left hand, which was gripping the hilt of the sword, was shaking uncontrollably.

The next moment, Lin Lin noticed that the white eyeballs of the transformed ice shark trembled suddenly.

A clear sound exploded on the right side of the monster. It was the flash bomb thrown by Brave.

Deep in the dark cave, a shining golden light bloomed, passing through the ice shark's eyes and into its brain, depriving it of all vision.

The originally violent thrust suddenly disappeared. Lin Lin half-knelt on the ground, somewhat exhausted, gasping for breath, and used his shield and sword to support himself on the ground.

Seeing the huge body lose control due to the sudden stop and crash into the rock wall, Lin Lin pulled a slightly fierce smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Thanks brother!"

Lin Lin calmed his breath, stood up again, and inserted the sword into the shield.

It had to be said that the transformed Ice Shark's dragon chariot was incredibly powerful, even more terrifying than when it had fought the Sand Dragon. However, Brave's flashbang support was incredibly timely, creating a prime attacking opportunity. After briefly checking the state of his arm and taking a few seconds to catch his breath, Lin Lin had recovered considerably from his semi-exhausted state. He raised his hand and swung out the Kinsect. The heavy axe transformed with the sound of metal scraping against the metal, slamming heavily onto the ice.

His body leaped into the air, and the heavy axe was swung behind him, like a golden thunder ready to be unleashed.

Lin Lin's muscles were stretched like a fully drawn compound bow, the veins on his neck bulged, and he forcibly changed the trajectory of the heavy axe, making it move from behind to the front, and then hit the deformed ice shark's back ice armor covered with spikes.

A torrent of golden energy poured out along the axe blade, and the entire ice layer shook. Fine cracks exploded into a five-meter square spider web with the axe blade as the center. The flying ice chips were blown into a ring of ice mist by the air waves. In just a moment, a hideous bloody wound was torn on the back of the deformed ice shark, and bright red blood flew into the sky.

"Aoaoang!"

Compared with the previous confrontation, this time it was a real heavy blow. The ice armor on the back of the deformed ice shark was almost completely destroyed, and even the sturdy dorsal fin was broken.

Lin Lin let out a long sigh and disassembled the shield and axe again, but this time he did not hold it in his hand, but put it behind his back.

I was only half exhausted originally, but after this forced burst of energy, I feel really exhausted now.

While the transformed ice shark was still in a double stun state of hitting the wall and being blinded, Brave also accumulated Kamui Iai, slid over with a few steps, and widened and deepened the tear caused by Lin Lin. The white bone streaks were faintly visible in the deepest part.

Lin Lin didn't continue to make up for the output, but just fumbled in the prop bag for a few times, reluctantly took out a piece of food, tore open the package and started eating on the spot.

I still didn't expect that such a fierce battle would break out just mining. If I had known, I would have brought nutritional supplements with me. This thing is very effective in replenishing physical strength, and it is not as dry and hard to swallow as the food I carry.

Speaking of which, Lin Lin felt that since he started exercising to strengthen his physical strength, he had not encountered the embarrassing situation of lack of physical strength like just now for a long time. It seems that he still cannot relax in daily exercise.

With the food in his stomach, Lin Lin quickly recovered, but the deformed ice shark opposite him also gradually recovered from the dizziness. In his eyes when he looked at the two hunters, in addition to anger and murderous intent, there was also a hint of fear.

Having just been hit by two powerful attacks, it finally discovered that these two unprepossessing little creatures actually had the ability to truly threaten its life.

It didn't want to continue fighting.

If you can scare the other party away, that would naturally be the best.

So it began to inhale suddenly, activating and vaporizing the special body fluid in its body, and the rapidly expanding volume of gas in its body also made the deformed ice shark swell up like a balloon - no, it cannot be said to be like, because the deformed ice shark now is actually a big balloon.

(In case some readers haven’t seen it, here’s an illustration)
In this way, it makes itself appear larger, hoping to scare off its enemies.

This thought flashed through Lin Lin's mind instantly.

But the second thought that flashed through his mind was——

The belly of the deformed ice shark has the best and softest meat on its body. Normally, its abdomen is close to the ground and is not within the attack range at all. But now, your belly has swelled so big, I would be sorry if I don’t give you a few ruthless stabs. You have worked so hard to turn yourself into a sandbag!
