Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 320 Who Bares Their Fangs at the Gods?
The impact of the fall from the sky left Jin Leigong lying on the ground, unable to get up for a while. The excruciating pain from being cut into a thousand pieces all over his body kept stimulating his nerves. However, compared to the physical pain, the mental torment made him even more frenzied.

If it had held on a little longer and bit harder, would the outcome have been different? Would it have been able to successfully tear open its enemy's throat?
It was filled with resentment and wanted to get up and fight again, but its heavy body made even moving difficult. Perhaps in the next few seconds, it would be blasted to death by a water cannon from the enraged Storm Dragon.

But at that very moment, a pale green dust appeared out of nowhere, enveloping its entire body and bringing a strange sensation that was both cool and itchy. And in places it couldn't see, the wounds that were constantly bleeding coagulated quickly upon contact with the powder, forming a scar in just a few breaths.

Although still quite weak, Jin Leigong had barely regained some mobility. He got up and looked back.

It was a tiny creature with a color scheme that looked very similar to a Thunder Wolf Dragon, but with a clearly different body structure. The powder that could stop bleeding and heal wounds was what it had just sprayed out.

Although it didn't know why the other party was helping it, it didn't have the mind to think about it at the moment, because it noticed out of the corner of its eye that another water cannon was bombarding it from above.

Jin Leigong glanced at the direction of the water cannon's bombardment, forcibly mustered its strength, and ran again. However, as it passed by Lin Lin, it grabbed him with its mouth and tossed him onto itself.

Considering that the other party had just helped him, Jin Leigong decided to save him as well, lest he be caught in the crossfire and blasted into dust by a water cannon.

Lin Lin was speechless. Since he hadn't sensed any malice from Jin Leigong, he wasn't too wary. As a result, he was suddenly thrown onto Jin Leigong's back. Golden electricity was running rampant all over this guy's body. If he hadn't been wearing Thunder Wolf Dragon armor, which had extremely strong resistance to electricity, he would probably have been charred to a crisp by now.

Although he was forced to ride, thanks to the training from Xiong Er, Tiao Tiao, and Da Kong, Lin Lin had gained a lot of experience in riding and quickly adjusted his posture, firmly gripping the Golden Thunder God's back armor to secure himself.

Looking down at the golden currents surging along his arm armor, Lin Lin looked up again at Lan Long. The guy was furious because Jin Leigong had left a wound on his throat, and he was blasting all sorts of water cannons and tornadoes at Jin Leigong like they were free, which made Lin Lin's heart ache.

Brother, if you don't take me with you, I only need to dodge that water cannon. But if you take me with you, I'll be constantly on edge, afraid of dying to some unknown AOE attack!
I should have known better than to throw that handful of powder at you out of pity...

However, since he was already on the pirate ship, Lin Lin had no other choice. While trying to keep a firm grip, he freed one hand and reached into his prop bag.

Golden Thunder God! I have sensed your domineering intent! I have understood your ambition!
Life Dust, Demon Dust, Hardened Dust! Come out here!
Under Lin Lin's relentless stimulation of powder, Jin Leigong's physical condition immediately and dramatically improved!
Although it didn't quite reach the invincible aura of "What in this world can withstand this!", it did suppress the severe injuries to Jin Leigong's body for a short period of time, preventing the injuries from affecting its combat power and allowing it to maintain its agile form to dodge Lanlong's various bombardments.

In the battlefield where the two dragons clashed, the three high-ranking hunters dodged the aftershocks of various attacks with a slightly disheveled appearance and retreated to an inconspicuous corner.

Kevin glanced at Lin Lin, who was sitting on the back of the Golden Thunder God and sprinkling powder like it was free, and then turned to look at Rickles, who had refuted his ideas earlier. Although he didn't say anything, it was as if he had said everything.

Rickres blushed. "Why are you looking at me? It's clearly your apprentice who's acting strangely!"

Kevin pursed his lips. Well, he had to admit that Lin Lin was indeed a bit different from these traditional old folks.

"But given the current situation, it might not be impossible for us to fight together! If we succeed, we might really have a chance to defeat Lanlong!"

Rachel nodded. "I agree. Launching the restraint missile and detonating the explosive barrel to collapse the mountain requires two people to work together. This will put the person who is distracting the Storm Dragon in considerable danger. If the Thunder Wolf Dragon can cooperate with us, the situation will be much easier."

……

While scattering a large amount of dust to support Jin Leigong, Lin Lin inevitably got himself marinated in the dust as well, the strong dust making him cough.

But he had to endure this feeling because Lanlong's bombardment was not over yet. If Jin Leigong hadn't challenged Lanlong as soon as his injuries healed, and had accumulated enough experience to deal with Lanlong's moves through multiple battles, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for long.

Even so, Jin Leigong was finding it increasingly difficult to dodge, and he might be taken down in a few more moves. Lin Lin had to concentrate on paying attention to everything around him.

Suddenly Lin Lin's gaze stopped as he saw Kevin on the other side gesturing wildly in his direction.

'To attract the attention of the Storm Dragon, prepare to unleash a barrage of rocks?'

Lin Lin rolled his eyes in exasperation. "No, Master, why do you think that the Golden Thunder Clan will listen to my commands?"

He was completely dragged onto this pirate ship by accident!

But since things have come to this, there's no point in saying anything more. Why don't we give it a try?
"Hey! Hey! Big guy, listen to me! We have a fantastic idea that might just cripple Lanlong. Can you cooperate with us?"

The result was, of course, no feedback. Jin Leigong's entire focus was on Lanlong, and he couldn't hear what Lanlong was saying at all. If Lin Lin hadn't been sprinkling powder on its back from time to time, this guy would probably have forgotten that he had a passenger on him. Of course, even if he could hear it, he might not be able to understand it, after all, he wasn't Da Kong.

However, given the current situation, if there is no way to break the deadlock, once his dust is used up and Jin Leigong is exhausted, he will still have to give up. We must do something.

But how can I make Jin Leigong understand what I'm saying?

Lin Lin frantically racked his brains and suddenly recalled the scene when he fought the female Rathalos. At that time, the female Rathalos was clearly a 100% wild monster, but when it was dying, it seemed to be able to understand his words. The memories it transmitted also led him to Da Kong.

That should be considered a manifestation of one's special ability, right? So why did that happen back then?
Could it be... a strong emotion felt when touched?
It seems that the Bond Stone was created under similar circumstances?

Then try it!
Lin Lin reached into the package and grasped the sky-blue gemstone that he had a strong connection with. At the same time, he was constantly thinking about how he would feel if he stood in front of a powerful enemy who had invaded his hometown and destroyed all his beautiful memories.

The hatred for the enemy, the anger at not being able to protect everything, the unwavering determination for revenge, the instinctive fear born from the enemy's strength, and the courage and responsibility to overcome that fear...

As Lin Lin delved deeper into his thoughts, he gradually became immersed in this complex emotion, especially when the enemy he had fought so hard to defeat was right in front of him. The emotional resonance he felt had unknowingly become quite intense.

Through this burning passion, Lin Lin seemed to sense another, remarkably similar heart. The powerful beating gradually overlapped with his own, allowing him to clearly feel the unwavering will of the life beneath him.

"Jin Leigong, let's give him a good beating!"

Without needing any verbal commands, Jin Leigong clearly sensed the will of the little creature on its back. While this was a rather novel experience for it, the content contained within the creature's inner voice attracted its attention even more.

'How do we do it?'

Did it work? !

Lin Lin was overjoyed, but the fluctuation of his emotions immediately shook the fragile bond that had just been established. He quickly cleared his mind of distractions and briefly conveyed Ye Zi and his master's plan to them.

Jin Leigong subconsciously shifted his gaze to the seemingly crumbling peak, and immediately let out an excited roar, as if all his exhaustion and pain had vanished. Hearing this roar, the gale-force winds swirling around the Lanlong in the sky momentarily froze.

Monsters do not have language; their only means of communication are fighting, roaring, and physical gestures. Given Lanlong's intelligence, it is undoubtedly able to easily understand Jin Leigong's emotions.

Excited? This guy actually dares to be excited?!

Do you really think you can't do anything about it?!
If it weren't for wanting to learn how to control lightning from this guy, how could it have tolerated it jumping around for so long?

The earlier accidental injury had already fueled Lanlong's murderous intent, and now Jin Leigong's excitement had completely ignited its rage.

It's just the power of lightning, right? It still remembers that besides this guy, there was another golden thunder wolf dragon that looked almost the same on the spirit peak. If it kills this one, it can just find another one to spar with!

Lanlong stopped his meaningless breathing, then lowered his altitude, landing in the center of the ravaged platform, his body tensing up like a spiral.

The howling winds that had been raging across the land suddenly vanished. If it weren't for the dark clouds still pouring down torrential rain from the sky, one might have thought it was a peaceful, sunny day.

In the next instant, the wind and clouds surged, and an endless gale roared toward the Storm Dragon in the center of the arena. What followed was a terrifying suction force. At first, small objects such as water mist and fallen leaves were swept away by the gale, but then the suction force continued to increase, reaching a strength strong enough to pull the weight of an adult in just a few seconds.

From the moment Lin Lin saw Lan Long tense up, he was startled and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Lanlong is about to unleash his ultimate attack! Interrupt it quickly!"

……

Time goes back to a few minutes ago.

"My day!"

A water cannon shot past him. To avoid the attack, Jumpy slammed on the brakes and came to a stop just before the ditch torn open by the water cannon.

Although Jump stopped, Brave on his back lost his balance and tumbled off Jump's back, landing on his bottom.

He rubbed his backside, grimaced as he got up, and was about to say something when he saw a figure standing on a boulder not far ahead.

"Yezi?!"

The girl whose name was called turned around and looked surprised when she saw the figure of a person and a dragon, but then she looked enlightened.

Bref stepped forward. "What's the situation now? I feel like Jin Leigong is quite strong. Should we be able to take this opportunity to save Lin Lin?"

"Golden Thunder God?"

"Oh, that's the name the Thunder Wolf Dragon I lured us into gave it. I think it's quite fitting."

Bref paused, noticing something strange about Yoko's expression, and asked, "What's wrong? Did something unexpected happen again?"

Yoko opened her mouth, but couldn't think of the right words, so she sighed and pointed to the center of the battlefield.

"You should see for yourself..."

Bref: ?

Let me see what's going on.

So he peeked out from behind the boulder, and as he looked around, his expression became incredibly strange.

After a moment, he stiffly turned his head. "Besides the few monster friends we know, does he have any other 'good friends'?"

Yoko shook her head and answered very sincerely, "I don't know."

Brave's lips twitched violently. "So what should we do now?"

Ye Zi looked back at the battlefield. The golden body carrying the person she cared about was struggling against the overwhelming attacks, like a small boat in a storm, making people hold their breath in suspense.

After Lin Lin and Da Kong landed, Kevin and the others briefly distracted Lan Long with a flashbang. She thought they were safe and that all they had to do was leave everything to the three seniors so they could leave this place safely.

But after that roar, and watching helplessly as Lin Ling was thrown onto that guy's back and drawn into the clash between two dragons with long-standing grudges, she realized that, indeed, running away was useless.

It's still a matter of insufficient strength... If I were strong enough, I could just kill Lanlong directly, instead of just standing here worrying for nothing...

Ye Zi pursed her lips. "You take Tiao Tiao and leave first. Da Kong and Ye Zao are in that direction. You should go down the mountain now. With three seniors here, we can't get involved at all."

Bref smirked, glanced again at the battlefield ravaged by the storm, and with a self-awareness, turned around and pulled Jump along, heading in the direction Ye Zi had indicated.

"By the way, let's talk about us. What about you?"

Brave suddenly turned around.

"You guys go ahead, I... I'm still worried, so I'll stay and check on things..."
