Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 3 Kindness from the Blue Bear Beast
Standing on all fours, the Green Bear beast approached the figure floating on the water and sniffed curiously.

"laugh!"

The figure suddenly spat out a mouthful of water, splashing water all over the green bear beast's face.

Startled by the sudden movement, the Green Bear Beast subconsciously leaned back, and then sat down in the mud at the bottom of the water, its heavy body splashing water all over the sky.

"Purrrrrrrr."

The blue bear beast wiped its face with its claws and looked at the figure again. Seeing the rise and fall of the other's chest and abdomen, it realized that the other was still alive.

Seeing that the figure had not made any other movement except for spitting just now, curiosity surged in his heart again, and the Green Bear Beast approached cautiously.

With slender limbs and a petite stature, it lacked sharp teeth or claws, and lacked the bloody aura typical of carnivorous monsters. It appeared harmless...

Looking carefully at the human figure floating on the water, the Blue Bear Beast's not-so-bright brain churned for a while, and finally remembered that it had seen this kind of bipedal animal called human twice.

Once, I was fishing upstream. After working for a long time, I caught nothing. I thought of trying my luck further upstream. As a result, I saw a human sitting by the river with a bamboo pole. After a while, he picked up a fat fish, and soon filled a basket. After turning around and seeing it, he let out a roar and ran away, giving the basket of fish to it.

Another time, it had a fight with a group of dog dragons and wanted to dig out a beehive to eat as usual. However, because the wounds on its body were no longer protected by the hair and shell, it was stung by the bees and the pain was unbearable. It fled in a panic. Finally, it came back and met a human who used smoke to disperse the bees and took down the huge beehive. After discovering it, the other party also howled and ran away, giving it the fragrant and sweet honey.

It seems that this is a small animal that is not only harmless, but also friendly and gives food...

It’s better to rescue him. Maybe he will give us something to eat when he wakes up.

The Blue Bear Beast raised its claws to pick up the human and put him on the shore. It then looked at the fish swimming under the water again, but a hint of anticipation secretly rose in its heart.

……

Lin Lin felt like he was thrown into a washing machine and washed thoroughly from the inside out. When he opened his eyes, his mind was still a mess.

"vomit!"

He turned over and exhaled a large breath of water attribute, then stood up while rubbing his stomach. Lin Lin finally felt like he was alive again.

His dull mind started to work again, and Lin Lin began to check his own condition.

There were a lot of bruises and swelling all over his body, but he didn't suffer any fractures or other injuries that seriously affected his movements. It was a blessing in disguise.

The bone knife that he picked up to use as a weapon had long been washed away by the current, which was within Lin Lin's expectations. However, the cloth bag containing wild boar fur was still tied to his body, which was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Just as Lin Lin lowered his head to check how many props were left in the cloth bag that were not damaged, a rustling sound aroused his vigilance.

When I turned my head, I met a pair of huge, wide-open bear eyes, and the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.

"Alas!"

Lin Lin felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, causing him to shudder and straighten his body.

I just escaped from the dragon's mouth and now I'm in the bear's den. My life is over!

Lin Lin's sudden attention caused the Blue Bear to flinch back, but seeing Lin Lin didn't make another move, it moved closer, its hot breath hitting his face with a distinct, fishy odor. His brain froze for a moment, then Lin Lin, reacting quickly, reached for the cloth bag at his waist. If his brain hadn't been flooded with river water and his memory hadn't been distorted, the bag must contain the honey he'd collected earlier. It would be a lifesaver against the Blue Bear!

"Don't come over here, human flesh isn't tasty! Go chew your honey!"

The blue bear beast watched helplessly as the human in front of it grabbed something from behind his butt, and then watched the other party throw it to his claws, and the anticipation in his heart continued to rise.

But then it lowered its head to take a look, sniffed carefully, and suddenly took a deep breath, as if sighing in disappointment.

Years of experience in eating honey told it that the appearance of this thing was definitely part of a beehive, and that delicious crystallized honey should be stored inside. However, as we all know, honey will melt when soaked in water, and chewing a honeycomb without honey is no different from chewing wax.

After a brief hesitation, the Blue Bear Beast finally scooped up the two pieces of soaked honeycomb and stuffed them into its mouth. After all, it was breeding season, and the fish in the river were fat. It had been fishing for the past few days and hadn't tasted the sweetness of honey in a while. Chewing on a piece of honeycomb was a little comfort to its craving.

Well, although the food I received this time was a little worse, humans are indeed friendly and harmless creatures!

"call……"

Seeing that the Green Bear Beast really grabbed the honeycomb and started to chew it, Lin Lin breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his body and began to retreat quietly, trying to get out of the Green Bear Beast's sight.

As his nervousness subsided a little, a unique emotion that had been previously ignored emerged in his perception, causing Lin Lin to widen his eyes.

Is this... friendly?
It was really weird. He had been surviving in the wild for so many days and had encountered many monsters. He had felt panic, hostility, and vigilance, but this was the first time he had felt kindness from a monster!
Is it that there is something wrong with my perception, or is there something wrong with this blue bear beast?

Wait, think about it carefully. He jumped off the cliff and was swept away by the river for who knows how far. When he woke up, he was lying on the shore in one piece, with the blue bear beast behind him... Do you think there is a possibility that he was actually rescued by the blue bear beast?

While Lin Lin was thinking briefly, the Green Bear Beast had already squeezed out the last trace of honey in the honeycomb by chewing, opened its mouth and spat the beeswax residue onto the ground, then turned its gaze back to him.

Lin Lin's body stiffened, his thoughts were interrupted. He raised his eyes and looked into the round black eyes of the blue bear beast. He couldn't help but laugh dryly and subconsciously took a step back.

I hope my perception is correct...

Then he "heard" a burst of unclear thoughts.

"Human...my friend...is injured...needs to eat and rest..."

Lin Lin blinked and saw the green bear orc stand up and wade into the lake again. He looked around for a moment and then suddenly slapped his bear claws.

A black shadow drew a parabola and fell to the ground in front of Lin Lin, bouncing twice with a "patter" sound.

This is... for me?

Lin Lin looked at the green bear beast in the water with an inquiring gaze, and the other party roared twice in a low voice.

"Hoo-- (Sashimi...delicious fat...good for the injury...)"

Lin Lin's eyes kept wandering between the fish on the ground and the blue bear beast in the water, until the other one let out a low growl as if urging him, then he suddenly chuckled.

Sometimes, the world of monsters is just that simple: you give me food, we are friends, and I should help you.
