Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 76 Disagreement
Temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart, Lin Lin turned his gaze to the middle-aged man next to Shancai Ye. The other party had actually been standing there for a long time, but he had only now turned his attention away from Shancai Ye.

"Is this... a member of the caravan that was attacked?"

Lin Lin's tone was uncertain, because this man did not look like those people who had been doing business all year round that he had seen, and he did not have many vicissitudes of life left in the wild.

"Hello, my name is Hunter, and I'm here in Rocklark on a caravan."

When Hunter saw that Lin Lin noticed him, he greeted him with a smile. Because of his eldest son's ambition, he knew a lot about the profession of hunter, so he always had respect for the hunter group.

Huh?
Not a member of the caravan, but hitchhiking on it?

Lin Lin blinked and said, "Excuse me, do you know Brave?"

Hunter was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that since Brave had come to Rocklark to become a hunter, it was normal for some hunters to know him.

"That's my son. Do you know him?"

Lin Lin waved his hand quickly, "Brev and I are friends. Uncle, just call me by my name. No need to be so polite."

After saying that, Lin Lin grabbed a flare and fired it out. The emerald green fireworks were extremely conspicuous in the night sky.

"I'll tell him to come over right away. I'm sure he'll be very happy to see you."

Of course, this flare was not only used to notify Brave, but also to contact Date and Tiaotiao who disappeared after running out of the cave.

If Coconut Date and the others were alright, they would naturally release flares in response. If there was no response, then...

"Notification? He's here too?"

Lin Lin pointed to the earth dragon corpse next to him and said, "We killed it together."

"Ah? Him? Is this guy so amazing now?"

Lin Lin smiled, and then saw Shan Caiye packing his backpack, as if he was about to leave again, so he immediately asked:

"Master Shancai, won't you come back to Rocklark with us?"

"Ahaha, no need, no need. Meeting Hunter was just an accident. I'm not done with my work yet! You guys just focus on your own things, don't worry about me!"

Lin Lin remembered what the other party said when they met last time. It seemed that Shancai Ye was always wandering in the wild, and then bringing back the various materials and supplies he collected to human settlements to sell. Now it seems that Shancai Ye’s collection of supplies this time is not over yet?
As he was speaking, two fireworks exploded in two directions in the night sky. However, one of them was not green, which gave people a sense of peace and stability, but yellow, which represented warning. This made Lin Lin's mouth twitch slightly.

This entire oasis is so large, and the female sand dragon always stays with her cubs and rarely leaves. She doesn't patrol the entire area like the males, so how could they have run into this?

Fortunately, the flare was yellow instead of red, which meant that the situation was not critical, but was just used to remind them that something was happening over there.

Lin Lin waited silently for about half an hour, and finally saw Brave coming over.

Without giving him a chance to chat and reminisce with his father, Lin Lin directly pulled him aside to ask about the search and rescue situation.

"Fortunately, we were lucky. Most of the people in the caravan were alert. Only a few people suffered minor injuries, just minor bumps and bruises."

"Have you found everyone?"

"Well, my dad was the only one missing. I didn't expect you to find him first."

Just as Brave was about to express his sincere gratitude again, Lin Lin quickly interrupted him, "It's good that they found it. Let's take them back to Rocklark quickly."

"Oh, and remember to ask them if they can help send this dragon corpse back. Most of the materials on it are intact. Once we get it back, we'll have enough to upgrade our equipment." Brave sensed something was wrong and asked, "What are you going to do there?"

"I'll go keep an eye on that female Sand Dragon to prevent any accidents."

Brave remembered the yellow flare he had seen before. He was a little confused about who had released it, but when he saw that Coconut Date was not with Lin Lin, his doubts immediately disappeared.

"Is there really a female sand dragon?"

Brave subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword and said, "Let's go and kill that guy directly to avoid endangering everyone."

Lin Lin looked at him helplessly. It seemed that the attack on his parents had filled Brave's heart with hatred towards the Tushalong family.

But if it's really like Brave, after having sex with the male, he would chase after and have sex with the female as well. This would be a bit too cruel for their newly born cubs.

Having already lost the male, and now losing the protection of the female, it is a luxury to hope that even one of the ten to twenty eggs in a clutch can grow up successfully.

"Hey, hey, you followed me into the hunting grounds without even completing the necessary paperwork. That's already against the rules. And if you kill a female, that's already considered poaching!"

"The one that attacked the caravan was only the male Sand Dragon, and that's the only one we're tasked with hunting. Let's not make things complicated!"

Brave shrank his neck. At that time, he was worried about his parents' safety and didn't have time to think too much. But now that he confirmed that they were safe, he felt very uncomfortable when he thought about the punishment he might face when he returned... If he was really classified as poaching, then his great hunting career would be ruined!
"But what if that guy comes out and attacks them?"

"So I'm just going to go over and look at it, right?"

Brave: ...

Ok.

The two men acted separately again. Brav took his father to meet up with the caravan and took the cart to transport the body of the earth sand dragon away, while Lin Lin rushed towards the direction where the yellow flare was launched.

He would only evacuate with Date after Brave and the others evacuated to a safe area and fired a signal flare.

At the downwind side, the old dragon who seemed to have left pricked up his ears to listen to the sound coming with the wind, and after a long time, he showed a satisfied smile.

"Not bad, he looks like a hunter, and he knows how to protect the ecosystem... Well, maybe I can write a letter to those old guys and ask them to pay attention to this little guy?"

"But the other one... humph, his idea is a bit dangerous. We need to give that guy a lesson."

……

When Lin Lin found Juzao and Tiaotiao, they were lying on a high slope, staring at a small mud puddle from afar. In the middle of the puddle stood a huge mud mound.

"Boss, how's your injury, meow?"

When Coconut Date turned around and saw Lin Lin coming towards it, it almost jumped on him. However, after glancing in the direction of the mud mound from a distance, it quickly lowered its voice.

“I have fully recovered.”

Lin Lin sat down, touched Tiaotiao's head that came over, and scratched Yezao's chin. He was not as nervous as Yezao at all.

"Did you see another Sand Dragon? Tell me about it. Did you encounter any danger?"

"I saw you, meow! Tiaotiao and I were almost caught up, meow. Luckily, the boss had prepared some flash grenades, meow. We managed to escape, meow!"
