Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 226 Ancient Dragon Bone

"Looking at the level of rust on that dragon-slaying spear, it must be a product from a long time ago..."

Lin Lin took a few glances at the broken dragon-slaying spear and made a judgment without hesitation.

After all, the Monster Hunter world relies on archaeology to advance technology, and it is very normal that ancient technology is more advanced than modern technology. Therefore, the discovery of the remains of ancient dragon-slaying spears is not difficult to understand.

"But the question is, why is there a broken dragon-slaying spear here? Weren't ancient dragon-slaying spears weapons?"

Brave touched his chin and repeatedly looked at the dragon-slaying spear that was inserted diagonally into the island. He thought about it and couldn't understand why ancient humans would insert this weapon to deal with dragons in such a place.

It's not like the Heroes of Kokot, who after retirement, thrust their "Hero's Sword" into a crack in the rock, and whoever pulls it out becomes the next Hero of Kokot, right? Even a dragon-man like the legendary Great Elder wouldn't be able to pull out the Dragon Slaying Spear, right?
"Speaking of which...do you think that island looks like the head of some giant dragon?"

Jujube stood on the cart and watched with Lin Lin and the others for a while, then asked with some uncertainty.

"That's impossible! What kind of dragon could have such a big head?"

Brave subconsciously rejected this guess. He compared it in his mind and found that even the head of the Peak Dragon, after removing the two huge fangs, would be smaller than the island, not to mention that the shape of the island was completely different from the head of the Peak Dragon.

As for the Old Mountain Dragon? It did look somewhat similar in shape, but according to the guild's records, the Old Mountain Dragon was even smaller than the Peak Mountain Dragon, making it even more impossible.

As Lin Lin listened to Yezao's guess, his heart suddenly moved, and an image of a giant dragon carrying a volcano on its back emerged in his mind.

If it's this, the size should be about the same, right?

"Let me take a look from another angle."

Lin Lin left this sentence, then raised his hand and released the Kinsect. He leaped into the air and flew to another high ground without touching the ground.

If the island was really the skull of a giant dragon, then the position they were in before was the side of the giant dragon, and the position where Lin Lin was standing at this moment was in front of the dragon's head.

In this direction, Lin Lin deliberately stood at the highest place and looked far behind him. The frozen skeletons that were looming in the valley came into view. Looking slightly to the side, he could also see the wreckage of a severely damaged ship. Between the bones and the wreckage, one could vaguely see that they were also connected by a rusty dragon-slaying spear.

Lin Lin rubbed his brows with his hands, trying hard to recall whether he had noticed similar scenes in the game. Unfortunately, he was only focused on the fun of fighting when he played the game. In addition, it had been more than half a year since he traveled through time, and these details had long been blurred in his memory. He could not remember at all whether what he saw was the same as in the game, and naturally he had no way to find the answer directly from his memory.

Lin Lin could only analyze and reconstruct the development of the matter in his mind based on the scene before him.

Unknown ages ago, a certain human faction grew immensely powerful, even producing dragon-slaying boats. For unknown reasons, this faction clashed with a massive ancient dragon, presumably a Molten Mountain Dragon. A fierce, earth-shattering battle erupted between the two, the details of which remain unknown.

Judging solely from the final outcome, in this perpetually frost-covered world, the dragon was slain by the Dragon-Slaying Spear. Its final counterattack destroyed the Dragon-Slaying Boat, leaving it unable to return and ultimately remaining here alongside the dragon. As for the humans aboard the Dragon-Slaying Boat... judging by the occasional remains of ruins, at least they survived. Whether the survivors ultimately returned home or succumbed to the harsh environment here and perished, further investigation is needed to determine.

Lin Lin was not interested in geographical and historical research. Instead, he was aroused by this huge skeleton that was estimated to be over 200 meters long.

Regardless of whether it is a Molten Mountain Dragon or not, this size should definitely be an ancient dragon, right?
Isn't this a ready-made ancient dragon bone? This material is even more precious than ancient dragon blood. After all, ancient dragon blood can be obtained by simply defeating an ancient dragon and injuring it, while ancient dragon bones, apart from subduing ancient dragons, can only be collected from remains like this, right?

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Lin became excited. He threw the flying bug again, quickly returned to the cart, and shared his idea with his companions.

For hunters, the opportunity to obtain high-rarity materials is something that everyone is excited about. After expressing their admiration for the skeleton owner's size when he was alive, the three of them unanimously decided that in addition to hunting raw meat in the next few days, they would also see if they could find a few small complete ancient dragon bones. Even if they couldn't find any, they could take back some fragments.

……

Time passed day by day, and finally, the small group that had stayed in the Frozen Islands for about a week decided to return. This time, everyone of them had a great harvest. Even Ye Zi, who did not hunt large monsters, obtained a considerable amount of high-quality bone materials and ore materials. Many of these materials were enough to make equipment for top hunters.

It can be said that after the three people returned, their equipment was completely new.

In the cabin, Lin Lin opened the insulated incubator, reached in and touched it, feeling the condition of the dragon egg, and felt a little relieved.

Before leaving, he had asked the sailor on the ship to help look after the dragon eggs in the incubator every day during his stay in the hunting grounds, changing the air inside and keeping an eye on the condition of the dragon eggs...

It seems that the little dragon is in good condition now. Through mysterious induction, it seems that his life energy has become richer.

However, this dragon egg had experienced a sudden change in the environment. Even though it had survived a near-death experience, it was still severely damaged. Now it can only be said that its condition has improved a lot, but it will probably take a long time before it can hatch.

After routinely checking the condition of the dragon egg, Lin Lin walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

"Huh? Captain, you're not in the captain's cabin?"

The captain of this cargo ship is a middle-aged man who always looks smiling. However, unlike ordinary people we usually see, this captain has very sharp nails, webbed feet and hands, and his skin color is a little uneven - there is no doubt that he is a sea dweller.

"Is it Lin Lin?"

The captain glanced back, grinning and shaking the fishing rod in his hand. "These waters are very calm. The first mate is here to steer, so you don't have to worry. I haven't fished in a while, so I thought I'd go out and give it a try. Do you want to give it a try?"
