Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 88 A giant figure leaps from the sea of sand
"Woo-du-du—"

The crew member on the side puffed up his cheeks and blew hard on the huge horn in his arms. The low horn sound spread and was carried by the wind to the ten sand ships escorting behind.

A young crew member next to Lin Lin swallowed, took two deep breaths, then tensed his nerves and waited quietly for the huge body of Fengshanlong to appear in front of him. This was the loader who was responsible for carrying shells for the artillery next to him.

However, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and a cloud of dust was gradually rising in front of him. Lin Lin had already pulled down his visor to avoid affecting his breathing, but the huge body of the Fengshan Dragon, which was more than a hundred meters long, still did not appear in his sight.

"Could it be that the route is wrong?"

Lin Lin whispered to himself, if that was the case, then it would be very bad.

"There's no mistake. The monsoon has arrived. As long as we go against the wind and head in the direction of the strongest airflow, we will definitely find the source, which is the Fengshan Dragon!"

The loader crew retorted repeatedly.

"But the airflow is so strong, and that guy hasn't appeared yet?"

"The direction can't be wrong. Look ahead, isn't that a school of sandfish? They've all appeared, so the Peak Dragon can't be far away!"

As he was speaking, the captain of the ship in front seemed to have given another order. A horn sounded again with a rhythm completely different from the previous one. The flag bearer also waved the flag hurriedly, using flag language to convey the captain's order.

Then Lin Lin saw that the sand boats that were originally following in an orderly manner suddenly dispersed from each other, and in the blink of an eye, there was no formation at all.

Are they going to disperse and search for the location of the Peak Dragon?

While he was thinking, a sand dune suddenly rose up in the flat sand sea, and then the dune broke into pieces, and two extremely huge fangs rushed out from under the sand. Everyone's eyes subconsciously followed the fangs upwards, and they raised their heads high unconsciously.

But even so, they could no longer see the tip of the fang, because the majestic and towering figure of the Peak Dragon had already leaped up from the sand, and its heavy body weighing tens of thousands of tons leaped in the air as flexibly as a fish.

(This scene was really shocking when I first saw it)

Everyone's eyes followed the movement of Fengshan Dragon's body, turning from the left to the top and then to the right. They watched as Fengshan Dragon rushed into the sea of sand as if it were diving into the ocean, and the hundreds of tons of sand it raised rushed in all directions like waves.

so big……

Seeing with your own eyes a gigantic monster over a hundred meters long passing overhead, the shock brought by the oppression that occupied your entire field of vision was indescribable, and it made you subconsciously hold your breath.

"Impact warning!"

A loud shout brought Lin Lin back to his senses. Everyone quickly lowered their center of gravity and grabbed the protrusions on the hull to stabilize themselves to avoid being swept off the boat by the "waves".

Although they were fixed to the sand boat with safety ropes, if they fell off the boat at high speed, they would inevitably be seriously injured even if the sand sea was fine and soft.

The surging "waves" calmed down a little, and Fengshanlong did not dive under the sand again, but maintained a swimming posture parallel to Fengshanmaru.

No, it's not parallel, it's approaching this side, it's trying to hit us with its huge body!
"Quickly avoid!"

The captain didn't even need a shout to warn him; the helmsman was already doing his best to turn. Even though the Fengshan Maru was quite sturdy, that depended on who it was compared to. A hull constructed entirely of knotwood would inevitably fall apart if it were compacted. Even if the keel remained intact, the same couldn't be said for the people aboard.

The ship narrowly veered sideways, and this time the Fengshanlong didn't hit the solid surface, but it still caused more turbulence than the first time the sand waves hit it.

This time the turbulence was quite strong. Many people failed to hold on to the boat and were tossed up like a feather. Then they were left far behind by the high-speed sand boat.

With the safety rope, some of them were able to climb back on the boat and continue fighting, but some were seriously injured after such a fall and were unable to hold on to the safety rope to return. At this time, only the crew members who were responsible for watching the safety rope could cut the rope to avoid more serious secondary injuries caused by long-term dragging.

But this does not mean that the people whose safety ropes have been cut are abandoned. The civilian fishing fleet following far behind will not only hunt sandfish, but will also be responsible for emergency rescue operations for those who fall into the sand.

Upon discovering that the flagship was under attack, the previously scattered sand ships came closer and fired arrows at Fengshanlong with the heavy crossbows mounted on the hulls.

The intention was not to cause any damage, but to attract the attention of the Fengshanlong and give the Fengshan Maru some breathing time.

The captain glanced at the remaining three-quarters of the crew and shouted:
"All ships, free attack! Lin Lin, you fill the gunner's position!"

A sharp horn sounded, and within just one second, dozens of heavy crossbow arrows made of fine steel were shot out, nailing into the gray-yellow rock-like shell of the Peak Dragon like steel nails.

After years of wandering through the sand sea, the mountain dragon swallowed large amounts of sand and gravel, which were then excreted and combined with body fluids to form a special mineral shell attached to its body surface. This shell was mostly deposited on its back, and after countless years of sand polishing, the fragile parts were removed, leaving only the hardest part to protect its body.

The battle to stop the Peak Dragon was called the Feast of the Great Desert because the high-quality ore that had accumulated on its back for countless years could be peeled off during the battle, and this ore could bring huge wealth to Lockrak.

Although he was shocked, Lin Lin at least maintained the most basic calmness and clarity. After taking two deep breaths, he immediately controlled the artillery and began to aim.

The bomb carrier loaded the shells, and Lin Lin activated the cannon. The huge shells hit the back of the Fengshan dragon, blasting a huge hole in the mineral shell on its surface, and spider-web-like cracks spread out in all directions.

"shhhhhh"

Several more heavy crossbow arrows were fired, piercing into the cracks caused by the explosion of the shells with great precision.

Lin Lin turned his head and saw Rachel reloading the crossbow. She didn't even look at him and just said:
"Stay focused and don't get distracted!"

Lin Lin took a deep breath and started to think about how to calculate the trajectory of the shell. He wanted to fire the shell back into the hole created by the first shot.

"boom!"

At the moment of firing, Fengshanlong suddenly turned its head and used its majestic fangs as weapons to sweep towards the approaching sand boat from the other side.

So naturally, Lin Lin's shot missed the target and hit the pair of eyeballs behind the giant fangs of the Fengshan Dragon, which looked like small beans in comparison.

Being attacked in a sensitive area, Fengshanlong subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, interrupting the attack that was about to destroy the sand ship.

"Good job!"
