Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 280 Capturing Environmental Creatures
"Bah bah bah!"

Lin Lin spat out the dirt and grass debris in his mouth and sat up straight again.

The hunter had thick skin and flesh, so after being thrown from such a height, Lin Lin was not injured except for a little pain and a mouthful of dirt.

But he felt deeply humiliated.

"Ugh……"

Lin Lin sighed, raised his hand to rub Dakong's head which was leaning forward with concern, and casually pulled off the gun-version Huakong suit that he and Yezao had made.

After all, they were neither scholars nor craftsmen, and they relied entirely on their feelings when cutting. The end result was an imbalance of force on both sides, which caused him to crash in mid-air.

man! what can I say!

This flying suit cannot be perfected in a short time, so Lin Lin had no choice but to give up this idea temporarily and start thinking again about how to teach Dakong to fly.

"Boss meow, is it possible that Dakong is not a human, but a male Rathalos meow?"

Yezao took the unfinished clothes from Lin Lin's hand and complained in a low voice.

Lin Lin turned his head to look at it, and a question mark appeared on his forehead.

"Rathalos are known as the kings of the sky, meow. The ability to fly should be etched into their instincts, meow. Do they really need us to teach them?"

Lin Lin thought thoughtfully, it seemed... that's right?

If you think about it carefully, it's a bit abstract for a human like me to teach a male fire dragon to fly. It would be better to get two cobalt morpho butterflies and bring back the peach orchard bird, and let Dakong try to catch them himself. Maybe he can fly after flapping his wings a few times?

If that doesn't work, you can take Dakong to see some bird species, such as the colored bird, the umbrella bird, etc. Maybe you can learn it?

"Date, you have a point!"

Lin Lin stood up and said, "I'll go catch some bird creatures!"

Date: Meow meow meow?

The boss's mind is beating so fast, why can't it keep up with meow?

Didn't you say you were going to teach Dakong how to fly? Why is he focusing on capturing creatures in the environment again?
"Then I still have to go with you, meow?"

Coconut Tree was holding the unfinished Sliding Sky Clothes in its hand, feeling torn. It had originally thought that the boss's idea of making this kind of clothes was very novel, and was about to continue researching how to improve it!

"No, no! I'm just strolling around. I'm not going hunting or fighting. I can handle it myself!"

Lin Lin saw the danger that Date was in and waved his hand.

"Ow?"

Dakong looked left at Coconut Date, then right at Lin Lin, not understanding what was going on. He tilted his head in confusion. "By the way, Coconut Date, keep an eye on Dakong at home and don't let him set the house on fire again!"

"I got it, nya!"

……

This was the first time Lin Lin had stepped into the wild since being confined by his master. It was not until he was holding an insect net and staring at a pair of birds grooming each other's feathers on the treetops that he realized that he seemed to have accidentally broken the ban.

Buhao, I was so impulsive just now that I forgot that I was still under house arrest!
However, looking up at the two little birds lowering their heads and chirping mockingly at him, a hunter who could not fly, Lin Lin could not help but blink.

But then again, there's an old saying back home: Those who smoke...

Ah, bah, I’m here now!

Since we have already broken the ban, it seems too late to go back now. We might as well just catch a few more and bring them back, at least to complete the original goal of this trip, right?

After roughly estimating the distance to the treetops, Lin Lin pulled out his insect net, jumped suddenly, and lowered the insect net in his hand to cover the two birds on the branches.

Then, Lin Lin watched helplessly as the insect web rubbed against the bottom of the branches. The two frightened little birds panicked, making sharp noises and flapping their wings, and disappeared in the shadows created by the heavy branches in the blink of an eye.

Lin Lin: ...

At this moment, he had never missed the ice hook so much. The hook that could launch a net to capture environmental creatures was a great civilization!
The insect nets of the Old World are really lame. The longest fishing distance is completely determined by the length of the keel that serves as the handle. It is a bad civilization!

Having said that, this is the first time that Lin Lin has seriously planned to catch some environmental creatures to bring back since he came to this world. Before, he had always been hunting, gathering, and picking up some big and small monsters... Obviously, when he was playing games before, he liked to catch those good-looking environmental creatures and bring them back to put in the cabin for viewing.

Lin Lin reflected on it seriously and suddenly found the reason. The reason why he had never thought of catching environmental creatures to raise before was because he already had several big and small dragons at home and there was no place to raise these little things.

With an angry glance at the direction where the two birds had just left, Lin Lin retracted the insect net and started walking again to search for the next target.

The feathers of those two birds were quite beautiful, a bit colorful, and they stood out in the forest. He just didn't know what kind they were. After all, the concept of environmental creatures didn't exist in the old generation of games. The only ones he was familiar with were monsters. Perhaps only the scholars in the Scribe Team knew their specific classifications and names...

Ever since the Thunder Wolf Dragon appeared, the rainfall around Jieyun has increased dramatically! It has already shown signs of flooding. Lin Lin walked through the mountains and forests and could clearly feel the difference from when he first arrived here.

The cold weather has passed and spring has arrived. It should be the season when flowers are in full bloom, but at a glance, there are almost no bright colors. The two birds just now can be said to be the synonym of gorgeousness. Instead, there are more and more mushrooms of various types. I can't say that they can be seen everywhere, but at least you can find some after walking a few steps.

Blue mushrooms, paralysis mushrooms, poisonous mushrooms, nitrifying mushrooms, datura, specialty mushrooms...all proliferated in large numbers!
Where these mushrooms grow, a large number of collapsed and withered trees can be seen. Lin Lin casually checked some of them and found that only a small part of them were destroyed by the fighting between monsters. Most of them had drooping branches and leaves, which were black in color. There was a faint smell of mold. It seemed that they were killed by excessive rain.

Lin Lin pinched the moss climbing on the rotten wood in front of him with his fingers and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This is the Cloud-Knotting Wood. Even though it is not as good as those special tree species that grow in flooded forest areas, it has a strong ability to resist flooding. Yet it was killed by flooding. And this... happened in less than half a year after Lanlong moved into Lingfeng.

At this moment, Lin Lin truly felt how widespread the influence of the ancient dragon, a walking natural disaster, was.

Jieyun's two main industries are tourism and forestry. The tourism industry nearly collapsed due to the ecological impact of the Thunder Wolf Dragons being driven down the mountain. Fortunately, hunters intervened and subdued the most aggressive Thunder Wolf Dragons, which has helped to improve the situation. However, if the torrential rain continues, Jieyun's forestry industry may also face a devastating blow...
