Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 228 Buhao! The house is gone!

With a "whoosh", a figure broke through the water and flew onto the deck like a sharp arrow.

The fish's bill was sharp and slender, like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into Lin Lin's heart.

If an ordinary person were here, he would probably be overjoyed, feel chilled to the bone, and his heart would be flying with joy.

Fortunately, Lin Lin was wearing heavy armor all the time, and his reaction speed was faster. He turned his body in time, allowing the arrow-like fish beak to pass by the armor, even causing a few sparks.

"Hey! It's a sailfish! This fish is hard to catch, it's a rare species!"

Even after landing on the deck, the silver-colored swordfish was still trying to struggle, its tail slapping the deck with a crisp "pa pa pa" sound.

Lin Lin slapped the fish, which was almost two meters long, and its eyes instantly cleared, making it difficult for it to resist.

"It's really beautiful. It must weigh at least 300 or 400 pounds, right?"

The captain walked over and looked at the fish in amazement. "What are you going to do with it? Sell it or eat it? If you are going to eat it, I can help you prepare it. Swordfish is very delicious!"

Frankly speaking, looking at such a big fish, Lin Lin couldn't stop drooling.

The main reason is that I have never eaten such a rare thing, and I am really curious about what it tastes like.

But in the end, he forced himself to suppress his appetite and just threw it into the cold storage in the cabin to freeze it.

He didn't remember exactly what materials were needed to strengthen the Sea Realm series shield axe, but in short, various fish were indispensable. He would ask the knife pattern master later before making a decision.

When throwing the swordfish into the cold storage, Lin Lin looked at the sharp vertical fins on the guy's back, and then at the hard and slender sword snout, and suddenly found that he seemed to be about to get a big sword with ice attributes.

Lin Lin grabbed the fish kiss with both hands to try out the feel, his face full of wonder. The first person who came up with the idea of using this thing as a greatsword must be a genius.

……

The days at sea were uneventful. Apart from taking care of the dragon eggs, I would go fishing, barbecue, and chat with my friends. Soon, I would return to Yanhuo Village.

This trip to the Frozen Islands took almost half a month. Although everything in Yanhuo Village seemed to be the same as usual, some minor changes had actually taken place.

For example, Lin Lin's house was set on fire. Although the fire was stopped at its inception due to timely discovery and the materials in the storage box were not damaged, it was obvious that the house was temporarily uninhabitable...

There is no doubt that this was the work of Little Puff.

It has been quite a while since I first picked up this little fox. With sufficient food supply every day, the little guy has grown like a balloon. Now his body length is close to two meters. When he coils on Lin Lin and keeps washing his face with his tongue, it already puts a lot of pressure on him.

According to Huoya, the abundant nutrition seemed to have caused subtle changes in the composition of Little Puff's body fluids. The bubbling lubricant it secreted now would ignite a blazing flame with just the slightest friction. When Little Puff set the house on fire that day, she saw it with her own eyes.

However, even though such a mess had occurred, Village Chief Puxian did not do anything to the little guy. He just built a shack by the river not far from the original house as a new home for Little Puff, and dug a small pond to prevent it from continuing to destroy the new house.

By the way, after collecting the pure white slip left behind by the little puffs, the village chief Puxian, who was devoted to the village, discovered another use for it besides diluting it into foaming slip - that is, fuel.

The pure white slip of the little puff seems to be a very high-quality fuel. Although the energy contained in it is not as good as that of cutting-edge fuels such as high-density coal, due to the ease of obtaining it, it can still promote the development of the smelting industry in Yanhuo Village to a certain extent.

"You little rascal..."

Looking at the charred wooden house in front of him, Lin Lin tapped the scales on Puff's forehead with his hand, looking helpless.

Little Puff was clever. Having lived in Yanhuo Village for so long, it had long since learned that those odd-looking boxes made of wooden planks were nests. Seeing the small house it had burned into, it immediately turned its head away, looking as if it couldn't see me. Tiaotiao, standing nearby, rested his head on Lin Lin's shoulder, listening to Lin Lin's "rebuke" of Little Puff with an air of shared hatred, snorting angrily at the little puff.

So little Puff simply hid its head under its big tail. This is its three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

"Brother Lin Lin, how about you stay at my place for a while?"

Ye Zi glanced at Tiao Tiao who was standing between her and Lin Lin, and silently moved to Lin Lin's right side and quietly pulled his arm.

"what?"

Lin Lin almost didn't react. Did I hear it wrong?
This, this, this... If I agree, won't that mean we're living together?

"Isn't this appropriate?"

"It's okay, my house is quite big, Brother Lin Lin is welcome to live here!"

"I don't think it's appropriate. After all, you're a woman and Lin Lin is a man. It's a bit inconvenient."

Brave came out of the charred house and happened to hear the conversation between the two. He couldn't help but say:

"You should just stay at my place. It won't be inconvenient for the two of us grown men."

Ye Zi looked at Brave's earnest words, glared at him quietly, and gritted his teeth secretly.

"What's the big deal? We're all hunters. Didn't we all live together in tents in the camp before?"

"How can it be the same? There's no way around it in the hunting grounds. You have to wash up properly when you get back to the village? Or do you never shower after a mission?"

Brave's eyes widened in surprise.

"How is that possible?! I'm very clean!"

If you don't shower, you'll definitely become smelly! Who would like a girl like that?!
"Isn't that okay?"

Brave clapped his hands, case closed!

Lin Lin nodded. "Brev is right. I'll stay at his place until the house is rebuilt! Oh, and it was Puff who burned down the house. The cost of rebuilding it will be on my shoulders!"

Ye Zi's silver teeth were chattering, and she really wanted this sword shrimp to shut up and not ruin her good thing.

However, the person involved has already spoken, and things have come to this point. Seeing that it is impossible to succeed, Ye Zi can only nod in agreement helplessly.

"That's true, but your place isn't very spacious, Brave? If Brother Lin moves in, along with Date, Jump Jump, and a whole bunch of other stuff...it's probably going to be pretty crowded, right?"

"Hmm...that's true..."

"How about letting Coconut Date Tiaotiao sleep next to me for a while?"

Lin Lin thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
