Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 264 Overlord vs Overlord

The air ionized by high voltage gave off a slightly strange smell of grass, and the ground burned by the electric current emitted a scorching heat. Rachel seemed to be unable to feel the sense of crisis as if she was being stabbed in the back. She kept running calmly, changing directions, and each time she dodged the fatal attack by a hair's breadth.

The terrain of the mountains and forests is complex, and the area where the battle took place before is relatively empty. As Rachel ran, she consciously moved closer to the area with dense forests. The sturdy trees in her sight became more and more dense, and sometimes she could see a large number of green vines hanging from the branches.

"Roar!"

The golden Thunder Wolf Dragon was much stronger than the two younger brothers in both speed and strength. Even though Rachel used the lush trees to greatly slow down their pursuit, this guy still bit her tightly from behind and showed no intention of being thrown off.

The golden thunder wolf dragon made another sharp turn. It seemed that it had accumulated experience through the previous turns. This time, it directly dug its front paws into the ground, and its body drifted sideways almost ninety degrees. Then, without slowing down, it leaped towards Rachel.

Although Rachel kept running, she actually paid some attention to what was happening behind her. Almost at the same time as the Thunder Wolf Dragon took off, she also jumped up with all her might and stretched out her arms high.

The claws of the Thunder Wolf Dragon brushed past her back. Rachel grabbed the vines hanging above her with one hand and used the inertia of the sprint to swing herself far away.

In the moment when the golden thunder wolf dragon dropped its claws, Rachel had opened up some distance again. This time, she did not fall back to the ground. Instead, she grabbed the vines hanging in the forest and disappeared from the opponent's sight after several leaps.

'Damn, where did this mad dog come from?'

Normally, monsters rarely want to chase and attack hunters relentlessly like this, because the hunters' flesh, which is barely enough to fill their teeth, is not enough to make up for the energy they expend in doing so.

But the golden Thunder Wolf Dragon seemed to not care about these things at all. Rachel felt very clearly that the guy had pure murderous intentions towards her and attacked her completely as an enemy that needed to be eliminated.

Cursing in her heart, Rachel didn't dare to make the slightest movement. She was curled up in the crown of a dead tree, using the cover of dead branches to carefully observe the situation below.

After shaking off the sight of the golden thunder wolf dragon, she did not continue to run away, but took the time to get rid of her own smell, then moved directly in the tree canopy without touching the ground, and finally chose such a hiding place.

She knew clearly that when facing a monster, a hunter could not outrun the monster with just her legs. Instead, the noise she made while running and the traces she left behind would allow the monster to confirm her position and continue to chase her.

Now I just have to hide until this guy gives up...

Rachel lay on the tree trunk, her pitch-black protective gear allowing her to blend perfectly into the shadow of the tree canopy. Only a pair of bright eyes in the darkness were fixed on the golden electric light below.

That guy has caught up...

Rachel suppressed her breathing and entered a dormant state. Even her heartbeat became slow and light under her control. She remained motionless, like a wooden sculpture.

Rachel's concealment skills were indeed extraordinary. The golden thunder wolf dragon kept sniffing the smell in the air, but it couldn't lock onto the source of the smell, as if the hunter had disappeared out of thin air after arriving nearby.

After sniffing carefully for a while longer, the other two followers had already caught up, but the golden Thunder Wolf Dragon still hadn't found anything. It roared angrily, its claws pawing the ground. This aggressive display made the other Thunder Wolf Dragons lower their heads in fear. However, to Rachel's frustration, this Thunder Wolf Dragon showed no sign of leaving, instead uttering another urging roar. As if on command, the other two Thunder Wolf Dragons dispersed, while it remained nearby, circling and constantly analyzing the air.

"Are you waiting for me? Why?"

Rachel's face turned a little ugly. The potion she used to cover up her own smell had a time limit. If the Thunder Wolf Dragon waited until the smell dissipated and did not leave, it would definitely find her where she was. At that time, no matter how good her hiding technique was, it would be useless.

Rachel couldn't help but carefully review all the memories since the golden thunder wolf dragon appeared in her mind, trying to find the reason why this guy was so obsessed with her.

Although Thunder Wolf Dragons live in groups, there is a limit to how close the members of a group can be. She was just trying to hunt that ordinary Thunder Wolf Dragon. It should be enough for that golden creature to drive her away. It doesn't make sense that it would insist on killing the beaten owner without even trying to kill him to the end...

Just as he was thinking, a rumbling sound suddenly came from not far away. It sounded quite loud, as if another large monster was rampaging.

The golden thunder wolf dragon instantly turned its head and looked in that direction, its body quietly tensed, ready to launch an attack at any time.

Soon, the sound came closer, and after knocking over an ancient tree, the person revealed his true identity.

After seeing the true identity of the visitor, both Rachel and the golden thunder wolf dragon subconsciously widened their eyes.

Is that a...blue bear beast?

Why is there another person on my back?
Wait, this combination looks familiar... Shit! Lin Lin!

Rachel was shocked and didn't have time to think. She gave up hiding and took out her secret sniper. She stuffed a magazine of penetrating bullets into it and aimed the crosshairs at the golden Thunder Wolf Dragon.

However, contrary to her expectation, the golden guy did not attack directly. After seeing the pair clearly, the Thunder Wolf Dragon even restrained its sharp attack posture a little, and just looked at the man and the bear repeatedly with its eyes full of golden electric light. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Rachel felt that the guy seemed to be thinking.

……

Below, Lin Lin was lying on Xiong Er's back, looking at the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon that was staring at him with a fierce look, and his heart felt a little numb.

Because he was worried about the safety of the person who sent the distress signal, Lin Lin commanded Xiong Er to chase after the extremely conspicuous traces of destruction along the way. As a result, when they arrived at the place, they only saw this overlord, and the person who was supposed to be hunted was nowhere to be seen.

He jumped off Xiong Er's back and stared at the golden Thunder Wolf Dragon nervously. Xiong Er seemed to realize that the opponent in front of him had overwhelming strength that was different from any opponent he had ever had, and his muscles subconsciously tensed up.
