Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 39: Second Battle of Water Beasts

"Click"

With a slight click, Rachel loaded the full magazine into the hidden sniper, raised the muzzle, and aimed at the water beast that was charging straight at her.

"For most monsters, the head is a weak point, and this water beast is no exception."

As she finished speaking and the muzzle flashed, a ball of blood burst out on the forehead of the water beast that was rushing towards her. The intense pain made it brake suddenly.

The water beast shook its head and looked again at the petite figure holding the heavy crossbow and firing. The familiar figure gradually overlapped with the figure that had beaten it before. The anger in its heart was instantly suppressed by fear. Before the next crossbow bullet was fired, it turned its head without hesitation and dived into the lake.

No matter how Rachel fired to stop it, the water beast would never show its head.

Lin Lin: ...

Just now I saw you looking so aggressive and I thought you were so brave, but it turns out you didn’t recognize the old friend in front of you?

In order to vent his hatred for being beaten, he punched the fisherman hard, but when he met the real culprit, he just wanted to run away. He really interprets the principle of bullying the weak and fearing the strong to the fullest.

"Senior, it ran into the lake and disappeared, what should we do?"

Lin Lin humbly asked for advice.

Rachel put away her heavy crossbow, her movements unhurried. "If I were hunting alone, I'd chase it into the water and kill it, but for now, I'll retreat. It won't stay ashore forever."

"Go into the water? A water fight?"

Rachel nodded gently. "Underwater combat is something most hunters wouldn't venture into, but I happen to have some experience with it... Forget about it now. If hunting aquatic beasts on land is three stars, then fighting underwater is at least four, maybe even five."

"This water beast has developed a fear of me. If I'm around, it will flee without a care in the world. So, in order to successfully hunt the water beast, next time we fight, you will attract its attention, lure it into a trap, and kill it in one fell swoop."

Lin Lin thought of the rules that Sasuke had explained in the gathering place before. It seemed that he was not allowed to participate in the battle?
Rachel squinted her eyes at him. Although she was a head shorter than Lin Lin, her gaze seemed to be condescending. "I will support you secretly. Nothing will go wrong."

"Or are you afraid? Don't dare to face that guy?"

"I'm afraid? How is that possible?"

Lin Lin immediately expressed his disdain. He had fought against several black dragons before. How could a water beast of any level be worthy of his fear?
"Then the battle plan is set."

Lin Lin: Wait a minute, wasn’t I just talking about the issue of violations?

But Rachel had already taken the lead and walked towards an open space. On the way here, she had observed which places were suitable for setting traps.

Lin Lin: Walking slowly and talking nonsense.

It seems that Rachel-senpai doesn't follow the rules as much as she says...

……

As the sun began to set, the water beast finally emerged from the edge of the pond again. The dim light shone on its orange body, making it look particularly bright.

The water beast turned its head back and forth to observe, and confirmed that the terrible guy had left. At the same time, it felt relieved, but the frustration of being beaten and forced to flee in a panic again surged up and turned into an even stronger rage than before.

Damn it, if I can’t beat you, can’t I beat those little things that look like you?
Because of that guy, the plump and bulging spongy bristles on its neck were destroyed and tattered. Not only did its water storage capacity drop significantly, but its attractiveness to the female aquatic animals in the tribe was also infinitely weakened. In just one week, more than half of its harem had dispersed!
At this moment, it suddenly noticed a figure emerging from the woods not far away, shouting at it provocatively.

"Ah!" The water beast spit out a ball of water without hesitation.

Having suffered a loss once, Lin Lin paid special attention to the water beast's movements this time. As soon as it opened its mouth, Lin Lin ran to the side without hesitation. When the water ball fell on the predetermined target location, Lin Lin had already run four or five meters away without being touched by even a drop of water.

The water beast spat out a ball of water, then twisted its body and rushed towards Lin Lin. Since it was still in shallow water, its movement, which was closer to swimming than crawling, was much faster. Lin Lin could even hear the sound of it whistling through the wind.

Lin Lin still had some self-awareness. He knew that he couldn't take on such a dragon car head-on. He ran two steps and pounced directly to the side, splashing water that was comparable to that of the Philippine Fishing Team.

Higher speed means less reaction time. The water beast had no time to adjust its direction and ran far away from behind Lin Lin.

However, in order to adapt to life in the water, the water beast's tail has evolved very developed muscles. With just a flick of its tail, it stabilized its body and turned back to Lin Lin.

At this moment, Lin Lin had just climbed out of the water when he saw the water beast make a sharp turn and return.

It’s actually a two-car train!

This time, Lin Lin had even less time to react, and he had no time to pounce again. He drew out his sword and shield as quickly as possible and held them in front of him, ready to withstand the impact.

It seemed like something was thrown over and landed between Lin Lin and the water beast. Due to the obstruction of the shield, Lin Lin could not see what it was.

But in the next moment, although most of the light was blocked by the shield, there was still some dazzling light flashing. Lin Lin immediately realized that it was the senior throwing a flash bomb to support.

A strong light flashed, and the defenseless water beast suddenly lost its balance and flipped over. At the same time, it rolled several times under the influence of inertia, and its heavy body hit Lin Lin's shield.

However, after being interrupted by the flash bomb and weakened by the rollover, the force of this collision was not that strong. Lin Lin retreated two or three meters and stabilized his body. His defensive posture remained stable.

The water beast lay on its side in the shallows and struggled, unable to get up for a while. Lin Lin naturally would not miss such a good opportunity and strode forward.

The water beast's body was obviously heavy in the front and light in the back, so after it rolled to Lin Lin's side, its angle shifted significantly, and its strong tail was pressed in front of Lin Lin.

Lin Lin did not waste the precious time of falling to the ground to go around the head of the water beast. He stood directly in front of its tail. The muscles in his left hand tensed instantly, and as he took a deep breath, a faint red light flashed on his body.

All the strength in his body gathered in his left arm like a river. Lin Lin felt that his entire left arm had turned into a spring, which was constantly stretched tight by this force until it reached its limit.

"Hey!"

Lin Lin no longer tensed his arms, but let the spring release the stored power in an instant. The enormous power made the sword in his hand swing at an unprecedented speed. Even the rubber-like texture that hit the sword could not hinder the swing of the sword.

Charge up for a double slash!
While his strength was still there, Lin Lin twisted his body and slashed back with his sword, deepening the wounds caused by the previous two cuts.

"Zizi"

The sword emitted a faint yellow light, accompanied by a slight sound, which was a sign of energy accumulation to a relatively full level.

"call……"

Lin Lin took a step back and inserted his sword into his shield.

　Have you watched the new PV in the wilderness? Looking at the black flame, it feels like the Skeleton Dragon is expected to return.
