Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 89 The Roar of Monsters and Humans
The discomfort in its eyes made Fengshanlong subconsciously interrupt its attack. Then, the sand sea monster turned its gaze towards the direction of the attack.

Fengshanmaru is much shorter than Fengshanlong, but this size is enough for Fengshanlong to regard it as a threat. When the attack from Fengshanmaru made its eyes feel a little uncomfortable, Fengshanlong, who was already angry, became furious.

It is the master of the desert. All living creatures retreat wherever it passes. The guy we met a few days ago was okay, after all, it was really strong, but who are you, little boat? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of it?

"Roar--"

The sea of sand was boiling, the earth was shaking, and the terrifying sound waves spread along with the angry roar of the Peak Mountain Dragon, almost blowing everyone on the boat away. Even if everyone covered their ears tightly, they could still feel the strong vibrations coming from all directions, making people feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.

This is far beyond the scope of a monster's roar. It is more like the continuous dull roar when natural disasters such as landslides, ground fissures, tsunamis, thunderstorms, etc. occur.

The long roar lasted for more than ten seconds before it stopped. Everyone then put down their hands that were covering their ears tightly, and used rapid breathing to calm the stars in their eyes caused by the roar.

Feeling the anger that accompanied the roar, Lin Lin didn't bother to think about what the guy was, and instead roared loudly:

"It's locked onto us!"

In fact, there was no need for Lin Lin to remind him. As long as one had eyes, one could see that Fengshanlong had turned sideways and pointed its head towards Fengshan Maru. A pair of huge fangs were raised high, blocking the sunlight, and the shadow cast almost covered the entire Fengshan Maru.

Lin Lin was very familiar with this posture. When the Earth Sand Dragon used its headbutt, it would also raise its head like this to gather momentum, making its attack heavier and more powerful. However, due to the huge difference in size, the pair of huge fangs of the Peak Mountain Dragon smashing down would undoubtedly be a devastating blow.

The helmsman tried his best to steer Fengshan Maru away, but because of Fengshan Long's previous roar, he only started to turn after it raised its body, and it was obviously too late.

"Hurry and strike the gong!"

The captain shouted hurriedly, but the violent turbulence just now threw many crew members out, and unfortunately, the gong player was among them.

The cannon was located in the middle and rear part of the ship, not far from the gong. Lin Lin glanced at the huge shadow that was beginning to fall down, gritted his teeth and pushed the cannon away, wanting to strike the gong before it completely fell down.

It's just that someone is faster than him, or closer.

Ziyuan was originally assigned to look after the safety ropes at the stern, paying attention to which people needed to be cut to avoid being dragged and causing secondary injuries, and which people needed a hand to help them get back on board quickly.

There was a gong right next to her, and she didn't care about the activation mechanism a little further away. Ziyuan directly picked up her iron assault crossbow and smashed it hard on the big gong with the butt of the gun.

"Boom-"

The large bronze gong emitted a clear and pleasant metallic sound. Even though its volume was not as powerful as the roar of the mountain dragon, it was a roar unique to humans and a sound that did not exist in nature.

The special sound waves that humans cannot feel were clearly transmitted to the Fengshan Dragon's brain, causing it to buzz with a sound. It immediately lost its balance and fell to one side.

"Good opportunity! Focus your attacks on the left side of Fengshanlong's abdomen!"

The captain gave Shion a thumbs-up, and the flag bearers and buglers on his left and right passed on his orders respectively.

Lin Lin also stopped his rushing steps, turned around and stood behind the cannon again. He almost didn't need to aim, as Feng Shanlong's body was not far from the side of the boat. He just had to load the ammunition and open fire directly.

"Boom!" "Swoosh!" The crossbow arrows made of fine steel cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, interspersed with the roar of exploding artillery shells from time to time, together composing a ballad in the desert.

"boom!"

Another cannon blast sounded. Lin Lin completely gave up on calculating various ballistic lead times in his mind and relied entirely on his intuition to aim. However, surprisingly, even in this situation, he was still able to maintain a good hit rate. This was the third time his cannonball hit the same area on the belly of the Fengshan Dragon.

The concentrated and continuous attack had to pause here. Stimulated by the constant pain on its belly, the brain of the Fengshan Dragon, which had been temporarily shut down by the ringing of the gong, finally resumed functioning, and it resumed its swimming posture, hiding its relatively soft and weak belly under the vast sand.

This time, Fengshanlong did not attack Fengshan Maru immediately, but patrolled at a distance that was neither too far nor too close, as if it was slightly afraid of the harsh noise made by this little thing and wanted to observe it first.

"All ships, fire restraint bombs, lower sails to half, and drain the Peak Mountain Dragon's strength!"

The captain had been watching the movements of the Fengshanlong through a telescope and decisively issued new instructions.

"whoosh whoosh"

The specially made crossbow bullet pierced the thick shell of the Peak Dragon. The sharp barbs ensured that the restraint bullet would not loosen easily. The tough cable connected the bullet head and the base of the crossbow, tying the sand boat and the Peak Dragon together.

The half-sail lowered allows Fengshanlong to replace part of the wind power as the driving force for the sand ship to move forward, thereby increasing its physical consumption. The reason why it is not fully lowered is because it still needs to rely on wind power to perform necessary maneuvers.

"Woo——"

The Peak Dragon let out a roar that was different from the previous angry roar. This roar sounded more like the long whale song of a deep-sea whale.

It felt that its body had become much heavier, which made it feel a little uncomfortable.

His small eyeballs moved, and there were extremely thin ropes hanging on both sides of his body, and those annoying small boats were connected to him through those ropes.

The ancient dragon's wisdom made it understand that it was these ships hanging on it that slowed down its speed.

So it began to think about how to break free from these ropes...

Lin Lin roughly aimed at the crater created by the first shot, then pulled the fuse and left the rest to luck.

His luck was indeed good, as this shot landed quite close to the first one, and more than half of the explosion range overlapped. In addition, Rachel had earlier nailed several crossbow arrows into the cracks in the mineral shell, widening the cracks a lot. This shot actually broke and peeled off a lot of the mineral layer covering the surface of that area, revealing the indigo shell underneath.

Fortunately, this is a mountain dragon living in the desert, and its accumulated rock shell is not thick due to wear and tear. If it were an old mountain dragon or a molten mountain dragon, two shots would probably not even leave any trace on its rock shell.

Lin Lin was about to fire another shot at that place when his pupils suddenly shrank and he shouted hurriedly:

"Watch out! It's about to jump!"

　Chapter subscriptions have been down a bit these past couple of days. Everyone should be supporting the book, right? I guess I didn't write anything toxic.
