Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 78 Jumping Armor

The Earth Sand Dragon did not chase them. Lin Lin, with Date and Tiao Tiao, easily found Braif and his group at the edge of the oasis.

Facing Brave's inquiring eyes, Lin Lin clapped his hands and said carelessly:
"Don't worry, that guy has no intention of chasing us. The caravan is safe."

Lin Lin glanced at the place not far away, his eyes filled with the joy of a good harvest.

It was a trailer, and the body of the sand dragon was tied to it and was being dragged slowly.

After this trip, he will be able to change into new equipment. Just thinking about it makes him feel that his fatigue has eased a lot.

After watching for two seconds, Lin Lin suddenly came to his senses and turned to ask Brave:

"At this rate, how long will it take for the caravan to arrive?"

Brave answered immediately, probably because he had asked the same question before.

"About another week. This time, we were delayed for two days because of the attack by the Sand Dragon. By the time we get there, the Great Desert Feast will be about to begin."

Lin Lin's face suddenly turned bitter. Without a sand boat, how could it be so slow?

His mission was limited to two days. Although all the people were rescued, if he didn't return in time to hand in the mission, it would be a big trouble if he was judged as a failure. He had originally wanted to escort the caravan back, but now it was impossible.

"Ha, it's okay. You can go back on the sand boat first. I'll escort them."

Brave smiled a little guilty. He chose to escort because, firstly, he was worried about any accidents on the road, and secondly, he wanted to reminisce with his relatives whom he hadn't seen for a long time. However, there was another very important point, which was that he didn't want to go back so soon to face unknown punishment. When he heard that his relatives might have been attacked, he directly threw the rules of the union aside. Now that his IQ has taken the upper hand again, he has become a little cowardly.

"Okay, then I'll go back to Rocklark and wait for you... Oh, by the way—"

Just as Lin Lin was about to lead Tiaotiao back to their hidden sand boat, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Brave again. "By the way, aren't you the sole person in charge of the Fortress Guerrillas, responsible for supervising Tiaotiao? If you don't come back with me, we won't be blocked at the city gate again, will we?"

"Well……"

Brave scratched his chin, a thoughtful look on his face. "That shouldn't be the case, right? I've submitted a report to my superiors before. Tiaotiao is indeed the most docile and obedient individual I've ever encountered. In fact, I even suggested trying to tame the Yellow Speed Dragon, but it was rejected..."

"Hello."

Lin Lin greeted them, waved goodbye to the caravan members in front of him who were looking at him curiously, and then walked away under their gaze.

On the sand boat.

Lin Lin took a piece of leather and repeatedly gestured at Tiao Tiao who was lying on the deck. After determining the size, he used a hunter's knife to cut it into pieces of appropriate size, and then simply sewed it together with needle and thread, turning it into a rather rough "helmet". However, due to Lin Lin's poor craftsmanship, this thing looked more like a horse bridle than a helmet.

"Boss, what are you doing, meow?"

"To make the magical tools that will be used next, my craftsmanship is really too poor. Oh, if Sophia were here, with her doll-sewing skills, she would definitely be able to make something quite exquisite..."

Coconut Date looked at the size of the "bridle" and then glanced at Tiaotiao, who was lying on the deck due to seasickness and didn't dare to look up. "Boss, are you going to make armor for Tiaotiao? Meow? Why don't you use better materials?" "Uh...that's not the case. Don't we have the materials of the Sand Dragon King in the box at home? I plan to use that to make a set of armor for Tiaotiao."

"So what's going on, meow?"

Lin Lin dipped his finger, which had been pricked by the needle for the third time, into a small bowl of healing medicine poured out from the side and rinsed it. "This is mainly to prevent panic when we enter the city later."

"Think about it. Tiaotiao's body is over three meters long, with sharp fangs and claws. The whole dragon looks no different from the yellow speed dragons you usually encounter in the wild. Isn't your first reaction to be alert?"

"But if Tiaotiao is wearing protective gear, a saddle on his back, and prop bags on either side, wouldn't people instinctively think he's a new species of Maru Bird? Wouldn't they only realize he's a yellow velociraptor after a closer look? And even if they do realize he's a yellow velociraptor, this costume wouldn't necessarily make people feel any fear."

"Boss, what you said makes sense, meow! But why didn't you do this before, meow?"

Lin Lin coughed awkwardly, and the result was that he pricked his finger again. Helplessly swishing the recovery potion, Lin Lin muttered softly:
"Wasn't Brave always paved the way before..."

Dates: ...

Why does it feel like its idol halo towards the boss is being shattered?
"So now we just need to make a set to deal with it, meow?"

"Yeah, that's right. If we really want to make armor that can provide protection, we have to hire professionals. But no one has ever designed armor for monsters, so it's probably going to be quite troublesome."

"I can ask the attendant weapon makers in the city, meow. Maybe they can do it, meow?"

Lin Lin put down his needle and thread and rubbed Yezao's head, but he didn't have too many expectations in his heart.

In this world, humans are not the most intelligent creatures, and their living space is often squeezed by monsters. That is why they respect hunters who hunt monsters. Few people are like him, a visitor from another world, who put aside their prejudices against monsters and make equipment for monsters.

And even if you are willing to make it, designing armor for monsters from scratch is not an easy job. If Sophia knew about this, she would definitely be willing to do it, but the problem is that she has no experience in making equipment, and simple sewing is obviously not the same as forging by blacksmiths.

While thinking in his mind, Lin Lin suddenly thought of a name.

"Flame Village"

Not only can they make hunter armor there, but the equipment for Felynx and Hound is also excellent. The similarity between Tiaotiao and Hound is obviously higher than that between Tiaotiao and Felynx. Although there are still significant differences, at least some of the design ideas should be able to be extended to Tiaotiao, right?

Looks like there’s one more thing to do on this trip to Yanhuo!

At that time, will he still raise a hound? I always feel that raising a jumping dog is expensive enough...

Lin Lin shook his head, throwing away all those random thoughts. Seeing the huge rock platform of Rocklark in the distance, he picked up the "bridle" and "vest" he had just sewn and walked towards Tiao Tiao.

"Ow?"

Chief, what are you doing?!
