Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 247 Where is my apprentice?

"Thank you for your assistance. Jieyun will always remember this kindness!"

In the village, upon hearing that the hunters supporting the headquarters had arrived, the elegant and beautiful village chief came to greet them in person.

Kevin and Rachel had both been to Jieyun Village and were acquainted with the village chief, so Rickress was the first to introduce himself.

"Seven-star level upper hunter?"

The village headwoman half-covered her mouth to show her shock. She really didn't expect that the guild headquarters would actually send three high-ranking hunters for such a village. You know, this force can resist even the invasion of ancient dragons!

Obviously, we only need to deal with five-star level Thunder Wolf Dragons. Although there are a lot of them, is it really necessary to deploy such a luxurious lineup?
The reason why she was so sure that there were three high-ranking hunters even though there were clearly four of them in front of her was... Look at the collagen on that little girl's face. At her age, she would believe you if you told her she was still an apprentice hunter!

Rickres couldn't hide his joy, he put his hands on his hips and laughed out loud, he really liked the shocked looks from others.

However, in fact, among the three hunters, only Rachel received an assignment from the guild. Kevin came here spontaneously out of concern for his disciples. As for Rickres, he was simply bored for a long time and wanted to stretch his muscles and earn some pocket money. He heard that his old friend was coming, so he followed him happily.

Kevin covered his forehead. This guy is really embarrassing...

"This girl is called Shion, my apprentice. She's currently studying with me, a two-star hunter."

Rachel interrupted Rickress's laughter and pointed at Shion, who was looking around curiously, and introduced her.

The implication is that this girl is not here to help, so there is no need to look at her.

"Ms. Village Chief, please tell us about the current situation in Jieyun Village and what we need to do."

With Rachel interrupting, Kevin naturally took over the conversation and got straight to the point.

"Since you have come a long way, why don't you rest up first and enjoy the hot springs in the village to wash away your fatigue? Then we can discuss business later, how about that?"

Although the elegant dragon lady was extremely eager to change the plight of the village, the arrival of the three superior hunters was a shot in the arm. She felt relieved and was no longer in a hurry.

"That's...ok."

Kevin pondered for a moment. Since the village chief said so, there was no need for him to rush.

But if we don't talk about business, it just so happens that he has something else he wants to find out.

"Hey, um... Madam Village Chief, I have something I want to ask you..."

"Hey, Mr. Kevin, what do you want to ask?"

Although the village head lady was asking, the slight movement of her eyes showed that she had already guessed the answer.

"I wonder how my disciple... the little mute I brought to Jieyun Village is doing now?"

When Lin Lin and Rachel parted ways, he mentioned that he was planning to go to Yanhuo Village, but Kevin was not sure how long he would stay there. If possible, he hoped that the boy would not come back during this period.

As expected~ The village head lady covered her mouth and sighed softly, looking quite conflicted.

This reaction made Kevin's heart jump to his throat. Could something really have happened to that kid?

Don’t do that kind of thing!
It’s over, it’s over. If something really happens to that kid, then his irresponsible master will have made a big mistake!
I might as well die as a token of my guilt, hanging myself at the door of the meeting place...

"Lin Lin... If it had been four or five days earlier, Mr. Kevin would have been able to see him..."

Kevin's face instantly turned pale, and Rachel beside him also couldn't help but scowl. Shion also turned her gaze away from the huge cat-head-shaped rock in the distance that was constantly swaying with the current. Did she just hear some bad news? Rickles:?
No, what's going on? Why do you all look so grim all of a sudden?

"Huh? Sorry, I think you two misunderstood!"

The village head lady noticed that the two looked strange and quickly explained:

"He's fine. He just went out hunting on a mission four or five days ago and hasn't returned yet."

That's it...

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Rachel patted her chest and asked casually:
"Does the village head lady know what he is hunting for?"

"I know this, but it sounds a bit unbelievable..."

"?"

"It's the Thunder Wolf Dragon."

"???"

The usually elegant dragon lady couldn't help but reveal a distressed look at this moment. On the day Lin Lin returned to the village, she happened to be negotiating with a fleet from Jiangbo Village. It was not until the end that she received the "good news" from the drunkard president, saying that there was finally a second hunter going to subdue the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

The village headwoman was quite happy at first, but when she asked and learned that the hunter's name was Lin Lin, her eyes immediately darkened.

He's still a kid! Although he's incredibly talented and has quickly risen from a rookie to a four-star hunter, he's still inexperienced. How can we just let him challenge monsters of higher levels?!

Unfortunately, by the time she learned the news and tried to dissuade Lin Lin, he had already left Jieyun Village again, leaving her unable to stop him.

"No, I have to go to the rescue now!"

Kevin turned and left.

"I am coming too!"

Rachel tightened the straps of her heavy crossbow and strode forward.

Shion opened her mouth, but thinking that she was just a two-star level rookie, she didn't move.

Rick Reis: ???
What's going on again?
He thought for a second, then gave up thinking and strode after him.

Never mind, since they both left, wouldn’t it seem like I’m out of place if I don’t leave?
The village headwoman sighed slightly, but did not try to dissuade him. She just crossed her hands a little harder.

I hope Lin Lin and the others are okay...

She turned to look at Shion and said softly, "In that case, let me help you arrange accommodation first. What do you think of it?"

Shion followed the village headwoman's gaze and saw a red wooden building with a strong Jieyun Village style located next to the long steps leading to the gathering place on the top of the mountain. Judging from the sign, it should have been a hotel, but it seemed to have been affected by the Thunder Wolf Dragon incident and had ceased operations.

Ziyuan nodded indifferently. To her, it didn't really matter where she lived. But what she cared about more now was the safety of her senior brother.

I hope Master and his wife can successfully rescue my brother...

Just as the three senior hunters rushed all the way to the village entrance and suddenly realized that they had no idea where Lin Lin was going, and were about to turn back to ask Lin Lin for detailed information about the mission he had taken on, a trailer slowly emerged from the end of the road.
