Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 266 Hajilie...you guy...

The sudden influx of crossbow bullets completely exceeded the expectations of every party on the battlefield. The Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon reacted the fastest. He immediately lowered his head and used his horns to cover his eyes and other vital parts, and then he turned sideways and made a charging posture of Iron Mountain Leaning.

Lin Lin's reaction was a little slow. When he came to his senses and found that the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon had made a charging gesture, it was too late to dodge. He had no choice but to insert his sword into the shield, hold it in front of him, and prepare to block.

Xiong Er had never seen such a fast flying attack. He carefully retracted his bear leg that was about to take another step and shifted his attention to the fleeting crossbow bullets. Until he found that they had bypassed him and hit the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon, he roared and rushed towards the enemy again.

The Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon was very powerful, and Lin Lin had anticipated this. In order to withstand this attack, he gritted his teeth, locked his joints, and tensed his whole body. But even so, when the surface of his shield collided with the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon, Lin Lin still felt a huge force pressing down on him like a landslide. His full resistance could only delay the opponent for a moment.

The shin guards on both feet slid on the ground, leaving two parallel grooves. Lin Lin held the hilt of the sword with one hand and supported himself on the ground with the shield with the other, so he did not fall to the ground in a mess.

Even with the weight of the heavy armor helping to absorb the impact, Lin Lin still felt bursts of dull pain all over his body, and a fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat. He was actually directly injured by the shock.

Lin Lin couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Even though he had actively released himself from the super-charged state, his strength had declined, but he still had a terrifying suppressive force far exceeding that of an ordinary Thunder Wolf Dragon. Is this guy really that strong?
He had just regained his balance and didn't even have time to unscrew the bottle of potion when Xiong Er, who had just rushed forward, was hit by a tail swing on his crossed front paws. He staggered two steps back to Lin Lin.

"Roar……"

The idea is a bit tricky, do you want to continue?
Lin Lin spat out the bloody saliva, looked up at the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon in front of him, who was just pacing slowly after repelling them and did not pursue him, and gritted his teeth.

"Damn it, keep going!"

The sound of crossbows firing continued. Although a penetrating bullet could only barely break a scale on the body, the continuous harassment attacks were enough to annoy the dragon. The Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon roared, turned sideways, swung its tail, and threw two golden balls of light in the direction of the crossbow bullets.

This ball of light seemed to have its own life and consciousness. It did not fly in a straight line, but flew in a vague arc-shaped trajectory, making it difficult to predict its flight direction and position and thus dodge in advance.

In reality, this ball of light did possess a life of its own. It appeared to be a dazzling golden energy, but it was actually formed by the electrical discharge of a large number of super-electric lightning bugs. Normally, the lightning emitted by super-electric lightning bugs was bluish-white, but the golden lightning bugs on this overlord were clearly more powerful. However, without any scholars from the Scribes to rigorously name it, we'd just call it a super-electric lightning bug...

"thump"

The female hunter in black light armor flipped over and jumped down from the tree, avoiding the electric ball attack. She squatted on the spot, set up a heavy crossbow, and continued to fire crossbow bullets at the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon.

In order to attract the attention of the Overlord Thunder Wolf, Rachel used a level 1 penetrating bullet with less power and low recoil, which was suitable for rapid shooting. However, the limited armor-piercing ability was difficult to play any role against the tough shell of the Overlord Thunder Wolf.

After discovering the crossbow support on the tree, Lin Lin guessed the identity of the attacker in his mind. When Rachel appeared at this moment, he was not surprised at all. He didn't even bother to say hello. While the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon was focusing on Rachel, he ran behind the opponent and swung the knife at its hind legs.

Fortunately, the hind legs were not covered by the thick and strong "Overlord's Super Electric Shell", so the recoil force transmitted back from the chop was not too strong. Lin Lin's two slashes finally brought some obvious pain to the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon.

The dominant Thunder Wolf Dragon glanced back slightly, and with a nonchalant flick of its tail, it forced the opponent back. Then it jumped up and slapped Rachel in the face.

As for Lin Lin and Xiong Er, it did not have a strong desire to attack them during the battle because of the resonance caused by their similarity. However, when it came to Rachel, who had once escaped from its pursuit, it attacked with all its strength.

Seeing that she had successfully attracted the attention of the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon, Rachel hurriedly rolled to the side, trying to avoid the opponent's attack. However, just as she was about to make an evasive move, she heard a "bang".

It turned out that Xiong Er seized the opportunity and took advantage of the fact that the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon was in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage, and directly crashed into the opponent's waist, sending it flying several meters away. It couldn't help but stagger twice when it landed.

The Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon felt a little annoyed. Although it didn't mind playing with this strange pair, there was a guy next to it who wanted to kill it at the first sight. If it ignored it, the guy would keep harassing it with tickling attacks. If it paid attention to her, the guy was extremely slippery. Adding to the obstruction of the Blue Bear Beast and this human, it was actually helpless on its own for a while.

However, it is not like the high and mighty god, and it can rely on more than just its own strength.

The overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon roared to the sky, with lightning flashing in his eyes. He ignored Rachel who had been harassing him with crossbow bullets, and turned his head to lock onto Xiong Er and Lin Lin again.

Just as Rachel was wondering, she heard two wolf howls approaching rapidly, and her expression changed immediately:
"Lin Lin, hurry up! I'll hold you here!"

What she didn't expect was that Lin Lin actually confronted the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon directly, leaving her with only one sentence:

"Master is on his way here. Hurry up and take care of those two Thunder Wolf Dragons. Xiong Er and I can handle them!"

Rachel was furious at this. Even a six-star hunter like me couldn't guarantee I could withstand this golden creature, so how could a mere five-star (from Rachel's perspective) be so confident in saying I could? If you die here, what will I say to that bastard Kevin?!

Unfortunately, things did not go according to Rachel's will. After seeing the two Thunder Wolf Dragons reappear and rushing towards her without even looking at the man and the bear over there, no matter how angry and unwilling she was, she could only start running and shooting to meet the enemy.

Often, as the number of monsters in a mission increases, the difficulty of hunting will also rise sharply. Originally, a Thunder Wolf Dragon was only five stars, but if you face two Thunder Wolf Dragons at the same time, the difficulty will go straight to six stars. Even Rachel must be on high alert and cannot make any mistakes.

Under the attack of two thunder wolf dragons, Rachel had no choice but to use a lot of evasive actions instead of attacking, fighting and retreating, and had no time to pay attention to the situation on Lin Lin's side. The battlefield kept shifting in the fierce confrontation, and unknowingly she had moved away from the dominant thunder wolf dragon.

"You've got to hold on, little bastard!" Rachel gritted her teeth, abandoning her usual sneak attacks and guerrilla warfare style. She became extremely aggressive, attacking the two Thunderwolves with all her might, leaving no opening for attack. Under the intense consumption of penetrating bullets, shotgun shells, and other ammunition, the scars on the two Thunderwolves continued to increase. Blood dripped down, staining their green scales crimson.

However, as her ammunition continued to be consumed, Rachel's face became increasingly gloomy. Another slide rushed out from the slope. She touched the ammunition belt on her body and her heart was chilled.

Even though she went out hunting this time, the amount of ammunition she brought was more than enough to hunt two Thunder Wolf Dragons, but she needed to return to the camp to replenish it. After the initial hunt, when she had fired a lot of ammunition to attract the golden Thunder Wolf Dragon, and now after the fierce battle with the two Thunder Wolf Dragons, there was not much left.

After loading the last armor-piercing grenade into the magazine, Rachel aimed at the Thunder Wolf Dragon that was initially wounded by her crossbow bullets, and pulled the trigger in a flash. Then, without even looking at the other side, she put away her heavy crossbow, turned around and started running wildly.

Although it is probably too late to return to the camp to replenish ammunition and come back again, we must not give up just like that!

The armor-piercing grenade accurately hit the eyeball of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, causing it to howl and stagger a few steps.

After just three seconds of delay, the armor-piercing grenade exploded with a loud bang. The violent blast was transmitted directly to the brain through the steel nails that were deeply pierced into the eyeball. The Thunder Wolf Dragon, whose life had long been like a candle in the wind, finally fell to the ground with a wail and was silent.

Kill one, and there's still one left...

Immediately afterwards, there was another muffled sound of hard objects colliding, which was insignificant amid the wailing, roaring, crackling of electricity, and the noise of falling trees, but Rachel's ears accurately captured this sound that was quite familiar to her.

Rachel kept walking and took the time to look back. Sure enough, she saw the familiar strong figure standing in front of the only remaining Thunder Wolf Dragon like an iron tower.

She felt relieved and yelled:

"Go save Lin Lin! He and that bear can't possibly defeat that golden guy! I'll lure this Thunder Wolf Dragon away!"

Kevin:? !!
He was saying that even though he'd rushed to the location where the distress signal had been sent, he didn't see that golden creature. There were only two Thunder Wolf Dragons chasing Rachel. He'd thought Rachel was just a wimp, calling for help even with two Thunder Wolf Dragons. So, was it because that golden Thunder Wolf Dragon was fighting Lin Lin?!
That bastard! When I caught up with him, I specifically warned him not to do anything beyond his capabilities! And then he turned around and did something that was tantamount to seeking death!
Kevin ignored the Thunder Wolf Dragon that was supposed to be his target, put away his shield axe, turned around and continued running. The Thunder Wolf Dragon looked back at Kevin who was quickly running away, then looked at his companion who was lying on the ground without a sound, and then looked at Rachel who had already run far away in front of him, and fell into a brief hesitation.

After hesitating for a moment, it chose to follow the leader's instructions and continued to chase Rachel.

……

"Cough cough..."

Lin Lin coughed up mouthfuls of blood, struggled to get up from the ground, and looked stubbornly at the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon who was looking down at him from above.

This time, it can really be said that it was the most serious injury he had suffered since his debut as a hunter. No matter whether he faced the dragon chariot of the Sand Dragon or took the pressure of the Mud Dragon, he had never been as weak as he is now.

Next to him, Xiong Er collapsed weakly on the ground. His originally black fur was charred black by the electric current, and there was even a faint smell of burning on his body. If it weren't for his thick skin and strong vitality, any other ordinary blue bear beast would have died long ago.

The Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon stared at Lin Lin quietly, waiting for him to get up and draw the blade towards him again, but there was a hint of, well, appreciation in his eyes.

Faced with a powerful being like him that could easily take his life, he didn't choose to flee, but instead stood up and swung his claws? Hunter...you...

The Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon couldn't help but recall once again the guy who chose to challenge the god-like figure again and again. They really were alike, refusing to admit defeat no matter how many times he fell.

In comparison, I felt like a coward. Although seeking benefits and avoiding harm was a biological instinct, it wasn't the kind of fool who had no wisdom but only instinct...

It took a long breath and took a deep look at Lin Lin, whose mouth and nose were still bleeding. Suddenly, it felt very bored. It turned around and prepared to leave.

At this moment, time and space were different, and the hunter's figure gradually overlapped with that ugly guy, while he himself was getting closer to the high and mighty Lord of the Storm. Perhaps, Lanlong allowed that guy to challenge him again and again instead of choosing to kill him, which was very similar to his mentality at the moment?

"You want to leave after you've hurt me?!"

With an angry roar, the [Force of Destiny] transformed into an axe form and swung across. Instead of chopping with the usual axe blade, it used the entire shield that formed the axe head to hit the head of the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon. The two curved horns on the shield collided heavily with the horns of the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon.

"boom!"

In terms of lethality, this move is not even as lethal as a random claw attack by Xiong Er, but for the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon, it is extremely insulting.

It slowly straightened its head, which had been hit crooked, and focused its gaze on the bloated guy in front of it who barely looked human.

Its eyes swept over the giant axe that was split into a sword and shield. It felt very familiar. It had just been chopped several times by this axe, leaving several new wounds. However, compared with the human who had commendable spirit but insufficient strength, it felt that the guy in front of it seemed worthy of its attention.
