Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 71: Isn't it just a sand dragon car? Look, I use my shield axe to stop it!

Once again thrusting his sword into his shield, Lin Lin lowered his weight, locking his joints. His arm muscles bulged like rocks, tightly holding onto the hilt and shield. A low growl erupted from his throat:
"come!"

The next moment, a force so huge that it was almost unstoppable crashed down, accompanied by two muffled sounds in succession.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

“Shh…”

The huge head, like a dump truck, hit the hard bone shield head-on, making a startling loud noise, followed by yellow electric light exploding on the surface of the shield, causing a second relatively dull thud.

Lin Lin pressed his center of gravity forward almost at the moment the earth sand dragon hit him, and at the same time raised his heels slightly, so that he was not knocked away at the first moment of the collision.

However, the kinetic energy of the Earth Sand Dragon's huge body when it charged was so terrifying that even if it did not knock Lin Lin away at the first moment, it would never be stopped like this. Instead, it pushed Lin Lin forward, shoveling up large amounts of mud behind his feet, almost submerging his calves.

However, no matter how terrifying the charge is, it always has an end. The high speed burst out in a short period of time puts a huge burden on the heart of the Earth Sand Dragon. Therefore, after rushing out more than 20 meters against Lin Lin, it finally had to slow down and use the final momentum to raise its head, trying to overturn the enemy.

Lin Lin roared, squeezing out all the strength in his body, and pressed down with all his might on the shields between the two sides. Only then did he slide back a distance when the Earth Sand Dragon finally shook its head, without losing his balance.

All his internal organs were in pain after this collision. A fishy and sweet taste emerged in his throat, but Lin Lin suppressed it forcefully. He roared, twisted his waist and spun around, and the giant axe transformed from the sword and shield drew an arc in the air. With a whistling sound of breaking wind, it hit the sand dragon's head again.

"Is that all your dragon car has?!"

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

The axe blade hit the hard skull, and with a barely perceptible shattering sound, the tiny cracks that had been created earlier quickly expanded and cracked, turning into dark cracks.

The blood gushing out of the cracks didn't have time to drip before it was shattered into countless tiny blood beads by the exploding golden lightning, forming a bright red blood mist.

The golden electric light penetrated deeper into the cracks on the dragon's shell, violently shaking the protected brain. The shock caused the dragon to completely lose its balance. Before the dragon cart came to a complete stop, it rolled sideways and fell to the ground, emitting bursts of wails.

"Fuck, Lin Lin, are you fucking crazy?!"

Brave ran over cursing loudly, and while cursing, he swung the sword in his hand without hesitation, piercing the soft throat that had been well protected by the hard and thick skull of the earth sand dragon.

This was the best opportunity to attack gained by Lin Lin's crazy behavior. If he missed this opportunity because he ran to care about Lin Lin, and waited until the Earth Sand Dragon stood up again in a relatively intact condition, he would have truly let Lin Lin down.

"Damn, it doesn't hurt!"

Lin Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, and with his almost unconscious hands, he put the disassembled shield axe back on his back, took out a bottle of recovery medicine G, and poured it into his mouth tremblingly.

The injury this time was much more serious than the previous headbutt. Even if the bones in his body were not broken, I am afraid that many of them were fractured. Even if he drank a bottle of recovery medicine G, this degree of injury would not heal so quickly. It would take at least several hours to recover.

Date came galloping over riding Tiao Tiao. When they arrived in front of Lin Lin, the dragon and the cat worked together to lift the exhausted Lin Lin onto Tiao Tiao's back and took him away from the battlefield quickly to avoid any further accidents.

However, because Lin Lin was carrying a heavy shield and axe on his back, he looked a little crooked when he jumped and ran. It was obvious that he was struggling and couldn't maintain his balance.

However, this injury was not meaningless. Taking advantage of the attack window created by Lin Lin, Brave's sword continuously struck the Earth Sand Dragon's throat, rapidly widening and deepening the bloody wound. By the time the dazed Earth Sand Dragon stood up again, the slit trachea could be seen through the vulnerable throat, and it was obvious that it was dying. However, this was a large monster after all, with strong vitality. Even with its trachea cut, it would take at least several minutes to wait for it to die. So when he saw the Earth Sand Dragon stand up, Brave immediately sheathed his sword and retreated, extremely vigilant against the monster's final counterattack.

However, after the earth sand dragon got up, it did not turn around to seek death together with its enemy. Instead, it limped slowly towards another direction. Blood from the wounds on its body dripped onto the gravel ground, leaving a trail of bright red plum blossoms.

"Is there anything in that direction?"

Brave stared at the back of the Sand Dragon and murmured to himself in confusion.

"Roar--"

After staggering out for about a hundred meters, the Earth Sand Dragon finally couldn't move any more. Its body swayed and fell to one side. It used up its last bit of strength and let out a long roar.

Then, the sand dragon's raised head drooped unwillingly and hit the ground heavily with a dull sound, but this time it never raised itself up again like before.

"I'm dead..."

Brave did not rush forward to check the condition of the Sand Dragon, but turned his head to look at Lin Lin who was lying on Tiao Tiao's back.

After discovering that the Sand Dragon had fallen, Date called Tiaotiao to stop, and they waited there for Braif to approach.

"Hey! Are you still alive?"

Lin Lin grinned, "Of course, this little injury is nothing!"

Words that just sound weak and unconvincing are not very convincing.

"That's good, Coconut Date. Take your boss to a safe place to recover. I'll take care of the caravan."

Lin Lin nodded and did not try to be stubborn anymore. After all, he was in urgent need of rest in his current condition.

However, he turned his head to look at the place where the body of the earth sand dragon was lying quietly, pursed his lips and sighed.

"Although this Sand Dragon is dead, we can't let our guard down. There's a high possibility that there's more than one Sand Dragon here."

"what?!"

Braif almost jumped up. "Really? Are you sure? Didn't the mission say it was just one?"

Lin Lin wanted to reach out and massage his temples, but his hands were too weak, so Coconut Tree considerately stretched out its cat paws and used the soft flesh to help Lin Lin press.

"It's likely that if a male and a female Sand Dragon breed together, the male Sand Dragon will usually patrol the territory and eliminate any dangers, while the female Sand Dragon will be responsible for guarding the nest and taking care of the cubs."
