Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 297: Survivors of the plane crash (4K)

Wait, something seems wrong?
Lin Lin was sitting on the ground, gasping for breath and recovering his strength, when he suddenly discovered that the dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate with the death of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Instead, they became thicker and even had a tendency to form a vortex.

It seems that Lanlong's anger has not dissipated even after killing the Deviljanosaurus...

Lin Lin tilted his neck, narrowed his eyes, and searched repeatedly in the thick, lead-like clouds, and finally found the abnormality.

There... is an airship?

Although only some outlines could be seen vaguely due to the obstruction of clouds, there was nothing in the sky with such a large airbag except the airship.

The people above are in danger!
Lin Lin instantly realized why Lanlong did not disperse the dark clouds in the sky. It had already locked on the airship as its next target of attack!
Lin Lin's palms were sweating. He wanted to save the people on the airship, but with the altitude that Lanlong was flying at now, let alone him as a melee hunter, even if there was a heavy crossbowman here, Lanlong's altitude had far exceeded the effective shooting range of most models of heavy crossbows. Even if the crossbow bullet barely flew to that height, it would be bounced away by the chaotic airflow due to insufficient kinetic energy.

All he could do was stand there and watch, and pray that luck would be good enough for the crew on the airship.

……

From the moment he saw the white torrent that penetrated the sky and earth, the professor finally matched the ancient dragon in white feathers with the information he had seen in his memory.

Tianjin Huotu, the god of disaster in the sky, is said to have left behind legends since ancient times in the Jieyun area. He made a brief appearance more than ten years ago and destroyed an entire kingdom called the Moon People's Capital with overwhelming force. He has since become the key target of the guild's exploration for many years - Lanlong!
Such a guy actually appeared here? !
Seeing the Storm Dragon tearing the body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex with a terrifying water flow that was completely unimaginable to humans, and turning its head to swim straight towards the airship, the professor broke out in a cold sweat.

"Xiao Ku! Descend quickly! Stop climbing!"

Kukosin, who was trying hard to control the airship, couldn't help but get anxious when he heard this. He had spent a long time trying and was about to fly above the rain clouds, but why did the professor suddenly change his mind and decide to descend?
"Just do as I say!"

The professor's lips began to tremble. Although there was no direct evidence, through the investigation and research on the destruction of the Moon People's Capital, it was very likely that the Lanlong was a monster with a very strong sense of territory. They flew over the territory of the Lanlong Circle in an airship, which was very likely to be regarded as a provocation and attacked.

As for trying to fly away from here before Lanlong attacks them?
A scientific expedition airship competing in speed with a powerful flying ancient dragon? Although he was old, he wasn't so senile and confused. If he descended quickly, he might have a better chance of survival in the event of a crash.

——Yes, he was mentally prepared for the plane crash.

It's a pity that we can't pass on the news of the discovery of Lanlong. What a pity...

The clouds were surging and the air currents were turbulent. The professor held on tightly to the cable on the airship, trying to stabilize his body.

Kukosin finally understood why the professor told him to descend, because he also saw the ancient dragon turn its head and rush towards the airship. Facing this terrifying ancient dragon, he felt cold all over, his brain was extremely sluggish, and he could not make any effective reaction. He could only hold on to the rudder tightly to prevent himself from sitting down on the ground with weak legs.

It's a pity that the airship is just a tool for humans to fly into the sky. In front of Lanlong, who is born with the ability to control airflow, the gap is even greater than the combat power gap between the Elf Deer and the Qilin.

Lanlong did not attack the airship immediately. Instead, it swam around the airship flexibly, observing this big guy that was quite unfamiliar to it. If the airbag was included, the airship was actually slightly larger than its body.

However, as an ancient dragon with a considerable degree of intelligence, after swimming around this thing, it has discovered that this thing does not have any characteristics that can be regarded as life. It is completely a moving dead object.

It quickly lost interest in the ship, swung its tail, and swam upwards again, disappearing directly into the clouds.

Like a drowning person who had finally surfaced after struggling for a long time, Kukosin gasped for breath, not caring about his clothes being soaked by rain and cold sweat, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Professor...it looks like it's lost interest in us?"

The old professor was about to reply when his expression suddenly changed and he shouted:
“Hold on tight!!!”

The originally inky black clouds suddenly began to spin, and then another torrent spurted out, and its target was... the airship!

The clouds penetrated by the water flow revealed the clear sky above. This scene seemed to have a very sacred meaning, but neither the two people on the airship nor Lin Lin on the ground paid attention to it.

Even though this torrent did not directly hit the airship, which was swaying from side to side due to the turbulent airflow, and only touched the edge of the airbag, it still caused a devastating blow to the airship. If the wood of the hull itself was not strong enough, the airship would probably disintegrate directly in the air.

Although the hull structure was still relatively intact, the violent vibrations almost threw the two people on board out. In addition, the airbags were damaged and could no longer provide stable lift. The airship fell diagonally like a broken rag doll.

Fortunately, although the airbag was torn, it could still provide a tiny amount of lift, at least slightly slowing down the airship's falling speed, instead of it freely falling to the ground and breaking into pieces.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

A strong sense of weightlessness came over them. As they saw the ground getting closer and closer in their sight, their adrenaline surged. They grabbed the objects around them tightly and tensed their muscles, preparing for the violent collision.

"boom!"

"bump!

"Crack!"

Fortunately, the airship crashed not on a rock, but on a relatively wide flat ground. In addition, the airship fell at an angle rather than in a straight line, so the hull did not collapse into debris at the moment of the fall. Instead, it gradually disintegrated due to the intense friction caused by sliding, and finally turned into several wooden boards that could no longer be recognized.

Despite this, this level of impact force was still too intense for the two researchers. The old dragon man was knocked unconscious without a sound the moment he landed on the ground. As a young man, Kukosin was relatively strong, but his strength was limited. He persisted until the wreckage of the ship slid and exhausted its inertia, then he groaned twice and fainted.

Lin Lin had already stood up when he saw the airship start to fall, and ran towards the direction where the airship was falling.

After Lanlong shot down the airship with a water cannon, it ignored them and went back into the dark clouds. It did not fire another shot, so the people on the boat had a chance of survival. Lin Lin believed that as a hunter, he should not leave like this before confirming that they were completely hopeless.

……

The airship was flying very high before it crashed, almost level with the top of the sacred peak. Now it has been shot down and the landing point is above halfway up the mountain.

The place where Lin Lin and the Devil May Cry was entangled was at the foot of Lingfeng Mountain. At first glance, it was very close to the place where the airship crashed, but to get there, there were steep cliffs and thorns along the way. Lin Lin was already highly nervous because he was chased by the Devil May Cry all the way, and he was even more exhausted at this moment. He was just forcing himself to rush on and save people.

After about half an hour, panting heavily, Lin Lin climbed up the last vine-covered rock face and finally saw the miserable wreckage of the airship. Not caring to catch his breath, Lin Lin quickly rushed up and forcibly lifted the wooden fragments covering the wreckage, searching for possible survivors.

"Is there anyone here? Is there anyone still alive? I'm a hunter, I'm here to save you!"

There were scraps of paper, broken pieces of wood, ropes and nets, and all kinds of miscellaneous debris everywhere. In addition, the smoke and dust after the airship crashed covered the place with a thick layer of dust. They posed a great obstacle to Lin Lin's search and rescue, so Lin Lin had to shout twice at the risk of attracting Lan Long's attention again.

Fortunately, Lin Lin's adventure was not in vain. Amid the chaotic sound of him moving the wreckage of the spacecraft, Lin Lin keenly caught a strange noise.

It sounds like someone is pushing something hard, but can't push it away because they don't have enough strength.

Lin Lin immediately stopped his actions, listened carefully for a moment, walked quickly to the place in front covered by the airbag fragments, and lifted it up with force.

"Um..."

Although the dark clouds created by Lanlong in the sky had not yet dissipated and the sunlight was severely reduced, the sudden bright light that pierced the pupils still brought some discomfort.

The young man blinked slowly, and before his dizzy head could react to what was happening, he found that his vision, which had just brightened, dimmed again, and a vague shadow blocked the light.

What is that? It looks like a monster... Hmm, is it a Thunder Wolf Dragon?

The young man blinked blankly, and the blurry shadows in his sight gradually focused into a human figure. Some sounds seemed to come from his buzzing ears, but as if they were coming from a thick body of water, the sound was deep, muffled, and could not be heard clearly.

The young man felt as if his body was lifted up, and in the man's hands he felt as light as cotton. Then something green was pressed against his lips. The man completely ignored his attempts to close his mouth and forced something bitter yet inexplicably sweet into his mouth.

"Cough cough..."

What is this thing? Why is it so cold...

and many more?

Under the healing effect of the medicine, the young man's brain, which had been extremely sluggish due to the strong impact, finally began to work. Although it was still far from the best condition, he had restored the most basic thinking ability.

He, it seems, is saved?

The young man suddenly came to his senses. He waved his hand to refuse the second bottle of potion offered by the hunter in wild-looking armor, and said hurriedly:
"Ahem... leave me alone for now..."

"Ahem, ahem, save the professor first. He's old and weak..."

Lin Lin did not take the potion back because of his refusal. Instead, he forced it into the young man's hand and asked in a serious tone:
"Where is your professor now? Do you still remember him?"

With Lin Lin's support, the young man staggered to his feet.

Looking around at the ruins in front of him, he tried to identify it for two seconds and roughly pointed to an area.

Lin Lin didn't waste any words. He gritted his teeth and threw away all the debris one by one, clearing out a small space.

In a small triangular space that seemed to be formed by ship planks and cargo boxes, Lin Lin saw a listless, bald old dragon man. His originally bald head was covered in a bright red, and blood was oozing out.

Lin Lin quickly reached out and felt the old dragon man's breath. When he found that he was still breathing, he felt a little relieved.

Fortunately, although my condition is extremely bad, at least I am still breathing.

In the case of Professor Long Ren, he might have suffered various fractures and cracks. If he moved rashly, the broken bones might penetrate his internal organs. Therefore, Lin Lin did not dare to lift him up directly like he did when he saved the young man just now.

He reached into the prop bag and fumbled around, then sprinkled a handful of dust at the old dragon professor.

Fortunately, there was the life dust. In this situation where even medicine could not be easily given to him, Lin Lin could still rely on it to barely stabilize the other party's vital signs.

Lin Lin turned around and glanced at the young man he had just rescued. The other party's condition was obviously much better than that of the old dragon man. He had already finished the whole bottle of recovery medicine that Lin Lin had just handed to him. It seemed that he at least had some mobility.

"Give me a hand!"

The young man was still somewhat confused. After Lin Lin finished speaking, he was stunned for a second before realizing that he was being called. He quickly took a few steps forward and came to Lin Lin's side.

"He's not in a good condition to move right now. I need to remove the board above him. Please help me hold on to it and prevent it from falling down!"

"Oh! Okay, okay!"

The young man responded quickly, squatted aside and started to work hard.

Glancing at the young man's arms, whose veins were bulging from exerting too much force, Lin Lin felt that he might cramp at any time. Suppressing his fatigue, he began to clear the obstacles while starting to talk to the young man.

"My name is Lin Lin, and I'm a four-star hunter from Jieyun Village. What about you?"

The young man's attention was indeed diverted a little by Lin Lin. "Kukosin, a scholar from the Dragon Calendar Academy."

"This is my teacher. He was originally from the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau and has now transferred to the Dragon Calendar Institute."

Hearing the words "Longliyuan", Lin Lin was slightly startled, but saving people was the most important thing. He didn't have time to say anything more. He quickly cleared the obstacles around him and bent down to start checking the old dragon man's physical condition in detail.
