Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 269 Confinement

Lin Lin and Xiong Er were driven away from the battlefield, so naturally he had no idea how the battle would develop subsequently.

He only knew that the battle lasted the entire night, and the roars and explosions finally stopped when the rain stopped.

After there was no movement, he took Xiong Er and carefully approached the center of the battlefield. Then he saw two superior hunters using melee weapons collapsed on the ground, and Rachel was silently counting the ammunition beside them.

The center of the venue was almost completely razed to the ground during the fierce battle. Apart from broken wood pieces and broken vines, one could occasionally see dark red stained with blood, as well as broken scales and shells.

It seemed that the hunter won the battle in the end, but Lin Lin looked around for a long time and did not see the body of the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon, which meant that Kevin and his men had only temporarily repelled the opponent.

Kevin, who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, glared at Lin Lin when he saw him approaching. However, his physical strength was almost drained, so he didn't even have the strength to speak, let alone teach the boy to cherish his life.

He took two deep breaths and rolled his eyes.
"Go, grill some meat for me!"

Rachel sat on a relatively intact rock, counted the ammunition, and began to clean and maintain her heavy crossbow. Upon hearing this, she added calmly:
"By the way, go skin the materials of those two Thunder Wolf Dragons. They're in that direction, not far away, so they should be easy to find."

Lin Lin: ...

They didn't have any raw meat with them, so if they wanted to grill it, they had to kill it on the spot. However, the battle between the hunters and the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon was quite noisy. After a whole night, the small animals in the nearby area would have run away without a trace. How could it be so easy to hunt a piece of "raw meat"?
"It'll probably take quite some time to find some raw meat to roast. I have some food with me, so how about you grab some first?"

Kevin didn't say anything, just rolled his eyes at Lin Lin and let him figure it out for himself.

So, Lin Lin had no choice but to take Xiong Er with him and set out again on the journey of searching for food and collecting materials.

Why bring Xiong Er?

Of course, he was acting as free labor! He didn't have a cart, so if he wanted to take all that stuff with him, he had to rely on Xiong Er to carry it!

……

The next morning.

The high-ranking hunters who had gone out on the expedition returned to their loyal Jieyun Village.

The first thing he did upon returning to the village was naturally to go back to the gathering place and report to the guild about the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon that had intruded into the mission. Based on his own experience and intelligence during the fight, he proposed a suggestion to the guild to attack it.

The Jieyun Village Hunter Guild branch naturally attached great importance to the opinions of the high-ranking hunters who came to support. After quickly verifying the information, it immediately issued a commission for a crusade.

——Hunting Mission (Emergency Mission): Thunder Wolf Dragon Chaos (★★★★★★★)
Mission content: Defeat the individual - Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon
Reward: 30000z
Mission Location: Stream

Limited time: 30 day

Client: Researcher from the Hunter Guild
The Hunter's Guild has issued an emergency notice, confirming that a special Thunder Wolf Dragon individual has been roaming around the area surrounding Jieyun Village. Based on its high-risk behavior, it has been named the Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon and must be defeated as soon as possible.

Please note that the threat posed by this individual is greater than that of an ordinary Thunder Wolf Dragon. In critical situations, do not act recklessly and retreat immediately.

-

In fact, this commission was issued just to go through the motions and express the attitude of the Hunter Guild. Now, the only people in Jieyun Village who are truly capable of taking on this commission and have the hope of completing it are the three top hunters who came in a group.

In addition to this incident that shocked the entire top management of the Jieyun Village Hunter Guild branch, there were actually some minor incidents that were not worth telling outsiders.

Before setting off, the three senior hunters each accepted a commission to hunt Thunder Wolf Dragon. Although some problems arose due to the intrusion of the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon, the final result was at least fine. The three Thunder Wolf Dragons that caused the most trouble and had the greatest impact were all killed.

These materials were originally supposed to be given to each of the three top hunters, but at Rachel's insistence, Lin Lin also got a considerable amount of materials, which was enough for him to build a full set of heavy armor.

According to Rachel, if Lin Lin had not brought Xiong Er into the battlefield and attracted the attention of the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon, it would have been difficult for her to escape from the clutches of the overlord and two subordinates on her own. This material was what Lin Lin deserved.

Neither Kevin nor Sasyuki, the girl in charge of the docking mission, raised any objection to this, so Lin Lin did not refuse any more. He accepted the spoils frankly and sent it to the processing shop, hoping that the old dragon craftsman with a bald head and only a braid could design a set of strong enough Thunder Wolf Dragon armor.

In addition, there is another thing worth mentioning, that is, Kevin, the nominal master, and Rachel, the actual master, both expressed strong condemnation of Lin Lin's reckless behavior of not recognizing his own strength and not taking his life seriously.

Although Lin Lin tried to argue with reasons that sounded unreliable, such as "The Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon had no killing intention towards me", he still could not escape the punishment from the elders of the sect, and received the same treatment as Ye Zi did in the past, which was - solitary confinement.

Of course, the confinement Lin Lin was in was slightly different from Ye Zi's. At least the two masters were not too strict about his confinement. They only sealed his freedom to go hunting in the wild for a period of time. If he was just active in the village, they would just turn a blind eye.

Lin Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Fortunately, he and Xiong Er were almost inseparable during the battle with the overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon. Otherwise, when he thought that he would not be able to see it for a long time and he was so close to it, he would feel a little guilty, as if he had neglected it.

With a very challenging goal, the three senior hunters did not stay in the village for long. Instead, after resting and recovering to their peak condition and replenishing their supplies, they set off again with two large carts of ammunition and various supplies.

Among his two teammates, Brave was originally taking on some trivial commissions while training the hound named "Cang Xiang" that he brought from Yanhuo Village. After hearing that Lin Lin was "put in solitary confinement", he directly put Cang Xiang next to him and asked him to help take care of him when he went on missions - Lin Lin felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if he had asked Huoya to do the same thing in the beginning.

As for the other one, in addition to accepting daily commissions, Ye Zi also gave Lin Lin a mysterious feeling, as if she was doing something else but didn't want Lin Lin to know.
