Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 240: Plans are not as fast as changes

During this day, Lin Lin toured Jieyun Village and confirmed that all the people he knew were safe and sound. He felt much more at ease, so he did not stay with Xiong Er for long. After a grilled fish feast, he returned to the village and began to prepare for tomorrow's hunt.

After all, he was challenging a monster of a higher star level than himself, so Lin Lin felt that no matter how thorough his preparations were, it would not be excessive.

All the healing potions were mixed into G-grade, and a whole basket of dispel fruits were prepared to remove abnormal lightning attribute states. Each person was given five flash grenades, and three sets of pit traps were brought. However, considering that the electric current of the lightning bug would charge the Thunder Wolf Dragon and allow it to enter the super-charged state faster, only one set of paralysis traps was prepared.

In addition, Ye Zi also used poisonous mushrooms to poison the kunai, and the amount was large enough to ensure that the Thunder Wolf Dragon would be poisoned. Braif worked with Date to make two large barrels of explosive bombs.

If their small team had no shooters and no ammunition, Lin Lin would even want to pull a cart full of ammunition.

When the stars disappeared and the early sun rose, three hunters and a truck quietly left the village and drove eastward.

"It's a nice day today, with clear skies and a gentle breeze. It's a great day for hunting."

Lin Lin sat on Tiao Tiao's back, looking around at the beautiful mountains and forests, and couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, he had changed out of the Transformed Ice Shark Suit and put back on the Earth Sand Dragon Suit. Although this set of equipment had slightly inferior defensive capabilities, it was still very resistant to electric current. As for weapons, in addition to the [Shark Guard], Lin Lin also brought the [Earth Sand Hard Armor Shield Axe].

According to the information obtained from Sophia, the Thunder Wolf Dragon itself is not particularly resistant to frost, but the super-electric lightning bugs that coexist with it cannot withstand the low temperature brought by ice-attribute weapons. So her advice to Lin Lin is to use ice-attribute weapons to curb the super-charged state of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, and use the grenade bottle shield axe to carry out the killing.

As for the problem of weapons being too heavy to carry around and change at any time, it would be a problem for other hunters, but for Lin Lin, it wasn't a problem at all - he could just let Tiaotiao carry them! With its current physique, carrying such a heavy load wouldn't be a big problem.

Braif didn't change his equipment, still using the Ice Fang Dragon weapons and armor. He drove the car as usual and smiled when he heard this:

"Well, how could hunting weather be bad? If there's a sandstorm or thunderstorm, we'll definitely have to wait until it calms down before we can continue!"

Lin Lin shook his head. "That's different. We have a choice here, but most of the time we don't have a choice at all."

For example, monsters that only appear in extreme weather, and ancient dragons that can control celestial phenomena... If you want to hunt them, you must face the adverse effects of extreme weather.

Ye Zi was casually playing with the poisoned kunai, but his eyes were moving back and forth between Tiao Tiao and his own Xiaobai.

Lin Lin's idea of changing equipment on the fly seemed pretty good. Should she also try having Xiaobai carry a bug stick? Then, facing monsters like the Sand Dragon and the Mudfish Dragon, which have different weaknesses in different states, she could probably tailor them accordingly.
But on second thought, she only had two insect sticks, one derived from the ore series, and one dragon bone stick with dragon attributes. It seemed a little too early to think about these things now.

"Cuckoo"

There was a cry from the sky. Ye Zi looked in the direction of the sound and raised his arms to let Fukubi Rabbit land.

"Afu, you really should lose weight. Look how fat you are now!"

With her free hand, Yako poked the fluffy feathers on Fukuki Rabbit's belly, making a small hole in it, causing Fukuki Rabbit to make two dissatisfied "cooing" sounds in protest.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. What did you find?"

"Cuckoo, cluck, cluck..." After a moment, Ye Zi took out a piece of dried meat and sent the round-faced fat chicken away, then stopped the trailer with a serious expression.

"what happened?"

Lin Lin looked at Ye Zi's expression and felt that he had discovered something not so good.
"We've discovered the Thunder Wolf Dragon..."

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

As soon as Brave finished speaking, Lin Lin and Ye Zi rolled their eyes and said, "Brother, don't just listen to half of what I say!"

So Ye Zi completed the second half of the sentence:

“…Both ends.”

Brave was stuck there, his lips moving for a long time without uttering a word.

Finally, he used one word to express his feelings: "Braise!"

As we all know, Thunder Wolf Dragons live in groups, and the relationship between the members of the group is very close. Although they do not gather together most of the time due to the distribution of food resources, if they are already together, it means that Lin Lin and the others have to face a mixed doubles of two Thunder Wolf Dragons.

Three against two, will we win?
Lin Lin felt that it was very likely that they would fail. They had already made so many preparations to hunt one Thunder Wolf Dragon. If another one came, they would not be able to cope with it.

Ye Zi looked at Lin Lin, "Brother Lin Lin, what should we do?"

Giving up is definitely out of the question. If they surrender at the slightest difficulty, then what trouble are they going to solve? But if they still want to continue hunting, they have to think carefully about what to do.

Brave thought for a moment and suggested, "How about using stink bombs? Drive away one and surround and kill the next?"

Lin Lin gritted his teeth. "The idea is sound, but relying solely on the stink bomb isn't a surefire way to go. If we fail to drive it away and end up angering it, we'll be in trouble."

Lin Lin had a deep understanding of this. He also clearly remembered the scene when he encountered a water beast after hunting the dog dragon. He fired several smelly bullets, but failed to drive the opponent away. Instead, it angered it and chased him relentlessly. If it weren't for Xiong Er's timely protection, he might have died in the middle of the road.

"Keep watch, observe the patterns of their movements, and then take advantage of their separation to surround and kill them? Thunder Wolf Dragons shouldn't be inseparable like male and female Rathalos, right?"

Ye Zi made a suggestion, which is actually a solution that many hunters would adopt. They would observe for a period of time first and figure out the life patterns of the target monster before taking action.

"Safety comes first. It's always right to observe first. Unfortunately, we don't have much time to waste here. If they don't separate soon, we'll have to find another way."

Lin Lin also felt a bit of a headache, always feeling that his hunting was almost accident-free. When he was hunting a dog dragon, it happened to be a water beast. When he was hunting a mud fish dragon, it happened to be a cloud dragon. When he was hunting an ice tooth dragon, it happened to be a bomb dragon. What a terrible life for the protagonist!

Lin Lin couldn't help but sigh, "Let's find a place to camp first, and then study the nearby terrain together to see if there is anything we can use."
