Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 58 The Bizarre Adventure of Date

oasis.

The wind and sand were blocked by low shrubs. Occasionally, one or two tall trees could be seen in the field of vision. A few tufts of weeds stubbornly poked their heads out from the cracks in the rocks on the ground, but the green was ultimately just an embellishment. The whole world seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gray sand and dust.

"Meow meow meow!"

Elu cat, wearing acorn cat armor, got on all fours and ran wildly in the sand with all his might. He looked back from time to time and found that the sand dragon was getting closer. He quickly quickened his pace again and meowed even louder.

Because the ground beneath its feet became less sandy and more hard, it took more energy to swim. The sand dragon, which had been following closely behind the date palm, jumped out of the sand, then folded its legs under its belly and twisted its body like a long snake.

The sand dragon took advantage of the momentum of its jump and burst out with astonishing speed in a short period of time, and the distance between the two was quickly shortened.

When Date turned his head, he saw the sand dragon's head getting bigger and bigger in his eyes, and the fishy smell coming out of the other's mouth was so pungent that he could even smell it.

Without any time to think, Date tried his best to leap to the side, but felt a strong wind brushing against his body, almost making him lose his balance in mid-air.

Fortunately, it managed to avoid this fierce collision.

Date shook his body to shake off the dust on his body. Looking at the sand dragon in front of him that had turned its head and revealed its sharp white teeth, he gritted his teeth and rushed directly towards it.

The sand dragon couldn't understand how this little thing had the courage to charge at it, but since the toothpick meat was right in front of its mouth, there was no reason not to eat it, so it opened its mouth and greeted it.

The distance between the two sides kept shortening. Seeing that the sharp teeth were about to fall on his head, Coconut Tree exerted force with all four limbs at the same time and actually jumped high up.

The sand dragon guessed that the opponent would dodge, and was prepared to follow up the charge with a tail swing, but he didn't expect that the opponent did not dodge to the left or right like before, but jumped up directly, causing his brain to lag for a moment.

Both sides charged at the same time, and their relative speed was naturally extremely fast. By the time the sand dragon reacted and wanted to raise its head to bite, Date had already grabbed the towering fin on its back. Its sharp claws popped out from the gap between the pads, piercing the thin membrane on the fin while also firmly fixing it on the sand dragon's back.

When the sand dragon found that the toothpick piece of meat was hanging on its back, it was anxious and angry. It kept jumping around to try to shake it off its body. However, the date palm had a tight grip on it. Even though it was dizzy from being cushioned by the cushion, it did not let go of its claws. The sand dragon jumped around for a long time but was just exhausted and gasping for breath.

Unable to get rid of it, the sand dragon became furious. Even though it would be difficult for the creature to turn over once its belly was facing up due to its body structure, it didn't care and just swayed its body to one side, determined to crush the little thing into a pulp.

This time, Date had to let go of its claws, but the moment it realized the weight on its back had disappeared, the sand dragon suddenly swung its tail and regained its balance.

Staring at the sand dragon's extremely degraded eyeballs again, Date Coconut meowed loudly, reached his cat paw into his backpack, and grabbed a sonic boom bomb.

There's really no way to lead it any further, boss, I tried my best, meow!

Seeing the furious sand dragon rushing towards him again, Date was about to throw the sonic boom bomb in his hand, but suddenly a yellow speed dragon rushed out from behind it, and before any beast present could react, it bit the armor on Date's back, then spread its claws and ran away again.

"Roar!" "Roar!"

Two angry roars came from far away and the stunned sand dragon immediately recognized that these were the only two remaining companions in the tribe.

Then it roared and chased after it again, wanting to have a cheese sandwich with its two companions to kill the nasty cat and the suddenly appearing yellow dragon.

A monster suddenly appeared and grabbed the armor on the back of Date's neck. Date was startled and immediately began to struggle.

However, it was held in the air with no support. Even the cat pickaxe was stuck in the monster's mouth and couldn't be pulled out. Coconut Tree struggled with all its might, but it only caused the center of gravity of the monster holding it to shift slightly.

Spicy balls!

Boss! I might not be able to hunt with you anymore, meow! Find a cat that's better than me next time, woooooo...

I'm just sorry for my parents, meow. I promised to be a great hunting cat, meow...

Date closed his eyes, but there was only the whistling of the wind in his ears, but no pain as he had expected.

Meow?
Date opened his eyes again, turned his head and found that the monster holding him looked familiar, as if he had seen it yesterday evening.

“Woo…”

When Huang Sulong saw the furry little guy looking back at him, he made a purring sound from his throat, which is the signal they use to express closeness.

It remembered very clearly that when it first saw the leader, this little meowing guy followed him and shared food with him. It must be a member of the leader's tribe.

If it wants to join a tribe, in addition to getting the approval of the leader, it is also crucial to establish good relationships with members of the other tribe.

However, Date was a Felynx, not a Yellow Dragon, so of course he couldn't understand the signal released by the other party. He thought the sound was a threat and became even more panicked.

It's fine that you're carrying me around, but you're also threatening me while you're running. What's your intention? Are you trying to save you some energy by making me stay still? Will that make it easier for you to carry me to the table and enjoy me?
While Yezao was brainstorming, Huang Sulong suddenly made a sharp turn, which made Yezao's eyes dizzy and feel dizzy.

A few seconds later, there was another sudden stop, and then Jujube felt himself being thrown high into the air, and then fell heavily, landing on...

"It doesn't hurt, meow?"

Date pressed the scales under his body with his paw pads. They were cold and a bit rough. This is... this is on the monster's back, meow!
There was no time for Coconut Date to be confused. Three roars came from three directions. Turning around, he saw that he and the Yellow Speed Dragon had been surrounded by the group of sand dragons. This was probably the reason why the Yellow Speed Dragon kept changing directions and finally stopped here.

"We're surrounded, meow!"

Feeling the Huang Sulong beneath him kicking the ground restlessly, Yezao carefully stood up from the Huang Sulong's back and patted it gently.

"Wait until I throw the sonic boom before you run, meow!"

Although I don't know why this yellow speed dragon is so strange, it seems that the other party has no intention of attacking it. On the contrary, it seems more like it is saving it by holding it in its mouth. Let's just regard it as a friend for the time being!
