Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 260 Special Skills of Top Hunters

Kevin was talking, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and changed the subject:
"How about this, I'm going to hunt a Thunder Wolf Dragon right now. Do you want to follow me and experience the whole hunting process?"

He just thought about it and felt that Lin Lin himself might not know what his shortcomings were. It would be inappropriate to let him ask questions and answer them himself. It would be better to bring him along to participate in the whole process so that he could find out what else needed to be improved.

"Eh?"

Lin Lin was stunned for a moment. Go hunting with Master Kevin?

It seems pretty good?
Anyway, I just want to calm down, consolidate my basics, and figure things out on my own. How can it be more comfortable than having a master by my side to give me guidance?
"Okay, okay! Then I'll go back and handle the formalities of accepting the commission first?"

Kevin slapped Lin Lin on the shoulder and said, "Why are you still going through the formalities? Don't waste your time. Just follow me!"

Lin Lin: ...

He subconsciously thought of Braif. The reason this guy was now teaming up with him for hunting was largely because he hadn't accepted the commission when he was hunting the Sand Dragon, and was subsequently suspended from the City Tournament Guerrilla Team...

"That guy was just chased away. Time is very tight. You still have time to complete the formalities when you return! By the time you run back and complete the formalities and come back, that guy will have already gone far away!"

Lin Lin sighed helplessly, waved at Xiong Er, indicating that he would come back to see it, and then followed Kevin into the depths of the jungle.

Xiong Er: ???
Didn't we just meet? Why did you leave immediately?
Xiong Er licked his paw to clean the remaining honey on the pad of his paw, and suddenly a hint of curiosity arose in his heart.

What are they going to do?
How about... follow and take a look?
……

Kevin is worthy of being a seven-star upper hunter. His experience far exceeds Lin Lin. Even though he is wearing such bulky protective gear, his movements are still agile and light, and he doesn't even make much noise. This is in stark contrast to Lin Lin who relies entirely on brute force and walks on his own two legs.

Lin Lin noticed the difference between the two almost immediately. Although Kevin's way of moving did not seem fast at first glance, he was steady. Moreover, through special force-generating techniques, the physical energy consumption during the movement seemed to be much lower.

Lin Lin subconsciously began to imitate Kevin's steps, paying attention to each time he raised and lowered his foot, and then tried to adjust his own steps...

Frankly speaking, it was difficult to adapt to this sudden change in walking habits. As Lin Lin imitated it, he actually made himself feel flustered.

"That's not right. You can't just watch me lift and retract my legs. What's more important is to adjust your breathing and promote the circulation of 'Qi' in your body through breathing."

The hunt hadn't even started yet, but Lin Lin was already learning from him, and Kevin was very happy about that.

Sure enough, he said that he, as a master, was still useful!

He deliberately slowed down his movements to allow Lin Lin to see more clearly, while constantly giving instructions:
"Like this, follow me, breathe in... breathe out..." "There's no need to deliberately sense the presence of 'Chi'. Just develop a rhythm and it will naturally mobilize and relieve muscle fatigue. All you have to do now is calm your mind and focus on your steps and breathing."

Hunters often only delve into the use of Chi after reaching a higher level. Based on the different weapons they use, hunters develop a variety of unique techniques for utilizing Chi. Some of these techniques are transformed into unique moves, reducing the learning cost and becoming widely known among hunters. Examples include charging a greatsword or hammer, transforming a pair of swords into a demon, using a katana as a Chi blade, using a one-handed sword as a Junior High Rider, and playing the hunting horn...

However, some skills are not suitable for widespread teaching, such as the breathing method that Kevin is teaching now. It’s not that the upper-level hunters are hoarding them, but these skills often need to be taught by words and deeds, and the requirements for talent are quite high. The cost of learning is too high. Instead of investing a lot of energy and finally learning nothing, ordinary hunters might as well study the special moves of their own weapons.

After all, it is also a condensed collection of techniques for using "Qi". If you learn it well, maybe you can apply what you have learned to other similar situations and understand this advanced technique?
For Lin Lin, although his current use of "Qi" is quite superficial, the "Charge Double Slash" he often uses, the charging technique used is essentially an application of "Qi", so it is not unfamiliar to him at this time, and he quickly got into the initial state.

His body grew slightly warmer with each breath. Lin Lin felt the heat slowly flowing through his body, thinking secretly in his heart.

Is this what "qi"—life energy—feels like? Why does it feel so familiar?

By the way, when eating roast pork, the feeling of food being digested and transformed into a warm current is almost exactly the same as this!
I originally thought that the warm current would only appear right after a meal, but it turned out to be just deposited in my body, supporting the intense physical consumption during the fierce battle.

Now Lin Lin also knew why he could eat a whole mushroom pig in one meal. It turned out that the battle with the Thunder Wolf Dragon was too intense, and he consumed too much of the "qi" he usually stored, and urgently needed to replenish it!
Lin Lin maintained his breathing rhythm and followed Kevin's instructions, trying to familiarize himself with the state and feeling of the "Qi" when it was running. According to him, many of the hunters' more advanced combat skills are achieved through the use of "Qi".

Time passed quickly during the teaching process. Before Lin Lin even noticed it, Kevin had already raised his hand, pressed his shoulder, and took him to hide behind an ancient tree.

"Shh…we're here."

It was not until Kevin made a gesture to him that Lin Lin realized that they had caught up with the Thunder Wolf Dragon without realizing it.

Lin Lin quietly poked his head out of the ancient tree, glanced at the Thunder Wolf Dragon that was drinking water not far away, and his hands unconsciously reached for the weapon behind him.

I just finished a thrilling hunt, and I didn't expect to face it again so soon...

However, this time, Lin Lin did not feel the slightest bit of nervousness and anxiety he had felt last time. He did not need to make a detailed plan for fear of making any mistakes, because this time he was also a hunter led by a big boss.

Summon the cat's celestial master and start!
"Go ahead, let me see how you fight."

Kevin patted Lin Lin's shoulder gently, his eyes full of encouragement.

Lin Lin: Huh?

Right, is that right?

How come xdx is the one going up to fight while ldx is watching from behind?
Did you do something wrong?
