Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 60 Seasickness
Lin Lin had polished his weapon, and Huang Sulong's belly was almost full. After he raised his head, his mouth full of blood was quite similar to the current state of Lin Lin and Yezao.

Lin Lin walked over to Huang Sulong and wiped the corner of its mouth with his hand. "Let me give you a name. How about calling you Tiaotiao from now on?"

"Jump? Jump?"

Huang Sulong didn't understand what Lin Lin was saying at first, but after hearing Lin Lin repeat a syllable over and over again, he realized belatedly that the "tiaotiao" was used to call him, so when Lin Lin called again, he howled in response.

Lin Lin rubbed its head and said, "It seems you like this name very much. It's settled then. From now on, your name will be Tiao Tiao!"

He turned to look at the date palm, "Let's go back to the sand ship first and drive directly to the location of the battle. I haven't even peeled the materials yet!"

"Stripping, meow? Boss, have you already killed that Sand Dragon King, meow?"

"Of course! A mere Sand Dragon King is nothing to worry about!"

Lin Lin grinned, this hunt was different from the last emergency mission of hunting the Dog Dragon King. It was a complete 1V1 duel between him and the Sand Dragon King starting from the full state, without any interference from off-field factors. In the end, he still won, which was enough to prove that he had the level of a two-star hunter, without any water.

Lin Lin started walking towards the direction where the sand boat was parked, followed closely by Yezao. Although Tiaotiao didn't understand what they were saying, he followed without hesitation.

The sand boat they were driving was a small one, only about nine meters long. If the space occupied by the cabin was excluded, the space on the sampan was only about five or six meters. It was fine for Lin Lin and Yezao to sit on it, but when Tiao Tiao, who was over three meters long, also caught up, the sand boat became much more crowded.

Fortunately, Huang Sulong is a slender monster. Although it is long, its tonnage is not heavy. It is estimated to be about the same weight as Lin Lin with the bone armor on his back, and it does not affect the normal operation of the sand ship.

It’s just the riding experience...it’s a little less comfortable.

Ever since Tiaotiao followed Lin Lin onto the deck of the sand ship, he had been looking around curiously. Although he had caught a glimpse of similar things from afar in his past life, this was the first time he had seen them so close.

Sometimes it scratched the wooden board with its claws, sometimes it sniffed the cabin with its nose. It smelled like the plants that can be found everywhere in the wild, but they looked very different. It was really strange.

When Date Palm raised the sail and the sand boat began to move slowly under the influence of the hot wind, Tiao Tiao was so frightened that he almost jumped off the boat.

It actually moved? Is this thing alive?
But looking at the leader and the cat, it seems that there is no danger?

Tiao Tiao looked around the sand ship, and finally stopped his gaze on the bulging sail.

Just as it was about to bite it to see what the thing was, Lin Lin grabbed its neck and forced its head to turn to the other side.

"You can't bite this!"

Well, it looks like this thing is quite important, the leader won’t let us touch it.

Tiao Tiao had to give up exploring the sand ship and turned his gaze outside the ship. He saw that the speed of the sand ship had increased rapidly without him noticing, and the scenery outside became blurred. He could only see large areas of yellow being left behind, while large areas of yellow were constantly filling in the front.

It looks so blurry and dizzy...

"Boss, we're here, meow!"

The date palm tightened the sails little by little, lost power, and the speed of the sand ship slowly decreased, and finally stopped at the highest point of the sand dune.

Tiao Tiao followed Lin Lin and jumped off the sand boat, but as soon as he landed, he staggered and almost fell to the ground, causing Lin Lin to turn his head hurriedly to see what was going on.

Tiao Tiao's mouth was half open, his throat contracting, and the saliva dripping from his mouth fell into the sand, forming a few wet marks. "Yue..."

Finally, Tiao Tiao vomited out a piece of half-digested raw meat. The minced meat fell onto the sand and was covered with yellow sand in the blink of an eye, and its original appearance could no longer be seen.

"Is this... seasickness?"

Lin Lin didn't know what to do if Huang Sulong was seasick, so he could only follow his experience with humans and keep going forward to stroke its back.

I don’t know if it was his touch that worked, or because my stomach felt less bloated after spitting out the piece of meat, but Tiao Tiao finally recovered after a few minutes.

Perhaps because he was used to the life of food scarcity in the desert, Tiao Tiao's first reaction after recovering was to swallow back the raw meat he had vomited out. As a result, he was slapped on the forehead by Lin Lin.

"Look at your little achievements. Are you afraid that I won't be able to feed you enough if you follow me?"

So Tiao Tiao could only watch with regret as Lin Lin kicked the piece of meat away and strode towards the body of the Sand Dragon King.

Huh? The corpse of the Sand Dragon King?

Tiaotiao's eyes suddenly widened. He had thought the new leader was just retreating to recuperate after a fight, preparing for another. He hadn't expected him to kill him straight away. How incredible! The Yellow Speed Dragon King had always been outmatched in previous fights with him!

Having a deep understanding of the new leader's fighting ability, Tiao Tiao felt more in awe of Lin Lin, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel secretly proud of his own cleverness.

My former employer, you never thought that after you drove me away, I found someone better!

……

At this time, it had not been long since the Sand Dragon King was defeated, and its corpse had not attracted any large predators - of course, there was another possibility that the large predators nearby were either following Lin Lin or had just been killed and had fled in disarray, leaving only two or three big cats and small cats.

In short, the body of the Sand Dragon King was preserved relatively well.

After driving away a few hateful birds and chopping up the giant beetles that refused to leave after smelling the flesh and blood, the area around King Salon's body finally returned to peace.

However, Lin Lin did not intend to start peeling the materials directly. Instead, he waved at the dates.

Although there were many changes in this hunting trip, at least he had not forgotten his original purpose, which was to see whether Date was suitable to be a hunting cat by his side.

At the beginning, his expectation for Coconut Date was just that he could maintain his original determination in the hunting ground and be able to protect himself when he was fighting. Now it seems that Coconut Date has not only done it, but also done better, successfully creating a 1V1 environment for him and the Sand Dragon King.

Now that I have decided to keep the dates with me in the future, I naturally have to start teaching them some things.

"Boss, here I come! What do you want me to do, meow?"

"Come here, I'll teach you how to skin monsters!"

"Like this, insert the blade of the peeling knife along the gap between the scales, sever the connecting cortex, then slowly push the knife in, prying it open a little bit... Look, this is a 'sand dragon scale'. Hmm... judging by the thickness, I think it's more appropriate to call it an upper scale."
