Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 94: Toothpicks Stirring the Vat

"Woo——"

The Fengshan Dragon let out a long low groan, and watched as the small boat that had caused it pain suddenly sped up and rushed forward. With the sails fully puffed, although the boat was sailing a little crookedly, its speed was not slow. After a while, the entire boat became a small dot in the eyes of the Fengshan Dragon, and then disappeared.

Instead of speeding up and trying to catch up and attack, the Fengshan Dragon just endured the pain in its mouth and back and continued to swim in the sand sea in an unnatural posture.

Whether it was the dragon-slaying spear or the sudden explosion behind it, both made Fengshanlong feel pain. He wanted to teach the ship a lesson, but the ship made a harsh noise, making his head buzz. Several attacks failed to produce any results, and Fengshanlong had deeply felt his troubles.

Although it was no match for the ancient dragon, Fengshan Maru was already an existence worthy of its attention. If the ship continued to follow it and waste time with it, Fengshan Dragon would also feel quite a headache, but fortunately, Fengshan Maru gave up the entanglement and left on his own initiative.

That's good...

Fengshanlong thought that anyone who dared to challenge its majesty would know that they were no match for it and would retreat obediently, so that it would still be the overlord of the sand sea.

It opens its mouth wide and swallows large pieces of sand in a whale-like manner. The unique filter-feeding structure in its mouth allows it to swallow the organic matter hidden in the sand into its stomach, while spewing out the nutrient-free mineral sand from the exhaust holes on its back... That's how it should be.

"Woo——"

The wound in its mouth caused by the Dragon-Slaying Spear was quite deep, which made it very uncomfortable to eat, but in order to repair the injury, eating was a must.

Thinking about the time when the wound was still there and the pain he had to endure every time he ate, Feng Shanlong felt quite resentful towards the small boat.

Damn it, knowing it was no match for it, it still jumped out to attack it without knowing the consequences. If it wasn't for the fact that biting the dragon with its long fangs really hurt, it would have been crushed to pieces by that guy even with the harsh noise!

After the dragon-striking boat left, Fengshan Dragon vented its frustration by imagining how it would crush the boat into pieces with its huge body. Unconsciously, its mood became much better, and even the pain in its body seemed less noticeable. This calm and good mood lasted until it spotted the boat again.

At this time, the ship had completely stopped, and the entire hull was facing this side horizontally, like a pass blocking between two giant weathered rocks. The white sails appeared orange-red under the reflection of the setting sun, as if issuing a warning to Fengshanlong.

Stop moving forward or we will attack you!

"Roar--"

It turns out he didn't run away because he knew he was no match for his opponent, but rather ran to the front and waited for me! If you want to fight, then fight!
The Peak Mountain Dragon roared.

It happened that after arriving in this area, the underground rock layer rose and the sand layer became shallower, making swimming not so smooth. It simply gave up swimming and instead used its pair of strong and powerful forelimbs to support its heavy body and crawled step by step towards Fengshan Maru.

"Dong" "Dong"

With every step, the dull sound of footsteps sounded like drumbeats. When the Peak Mountain Dragon approached within a certain range, a bunch of sand ships that were much smaller than the dragon-striking ship suddenly emerged from behind the weathered rocks on both sides, and shot crossbow arrows made of fine steel at it.

A single crossbow arrow landing on the Fengshan Dragon would have no effect on it at all. Even if it hit the relatively soft abdomen and throat, it would only cause a slight sting at most.

But as a barrage of crossbow bolts rained down, particularly targeting its eyes, throat, abdomen, and even the wounds on its back from the dragon's explosives, the Peak Mountain Dragon couldn't help but howl in pain, shaking its massive head from side to side, using its massive fangs to block the incoming arrows. "It worked! The Peak Mountain Dragon is scared!"

The captain had been watching the condition of the Fengshan Dragon through a telescope, and waved his fist excitedly when he saw it.

Unlike previous mobile warfare, the heavy crossbow does not need to consider its own speed when shooting while remaining stationary, and the shooting accuracy will be much higher than before. This greatly increases the hit rate. Combined with the huge base number of crossbow arrows fired, for Fengshanlong, it is like going from being drizzled by a little rain to having a large number of burrs stuck in the nails. The degree of injury is not serious, but it is really painful.

The design of the heavy crossbow greatly slowed down Fengshanlong's advance, but after the high-density shooting lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, the rain of arrows gradually became sparse.

The sand boats had limited carrying capacity, and after the consumption in the previous mobile warfare, the reserves of heavy crossbow arrows had been completely exhausted in this wave of shooting.

Without the crossbow's obstruction, Fengshanlong took another step forward, and its huge body gradually became larger in the eyes of the crew.

"Hunters, now it's up to you..."

……

The left front foot of Fengshan Dragon.

Lin Lin raised his head, but could not see Fengshanlong's head at all. The front leg in front of him was like a wall, blocking his vision completely.

Only by looking at this guy from this angle can you truly appreciate the oppressive feeling brought by this super-large ancient dragon's mountain-like body.

Fighting on a sand ship, fighting on the back of a dragon, and actually standing on the ground and waving the weapon in your hand at this guy are two completely different concepts.

This is something that cannot be shaken by human power.

But Lin Lin still took a deep breath and pulled out his bone armor.

It had come to this. Could he retreat? If he could retreat, could Rocklak retreat? Could the citizens of Rocklak retreat?
No matter whether he can shake it or not, let me try it first and see!
Lin Lin rushed forward first and swung the sword in his hand at the toe on Fengshanlong's front foot, which was bigger than his entire body. At the same time, a red crossbow bullet came from the other side and hit Lin Lin's chest protected by the armor, and it suddenly shattered and cracked. The red liquid stored in it splashed everywhere, most of which flowed through the gaps in the armor and came into contact with Lin Lin's skin.

In just a short breath, Lin Lin felt the strength in his body rising again, reaching an unprecedented peak. He roared, tightened his arms, and a red light flashed on his body, and he instantly swung out two consecutive slashes.

It was like chopping down an extremely thick knotwood tree. Even if one tried with all one's strength, even if one aimed at the gaps between the scales, one could only leave a deep scratch of more than ten centimeters on the thick shell, without even seeing the flesh inside.

"Zi-"

A red-hot glow appeared on the sword. Lin Lin did not dare to waste time. He gave up the attack position and stepped aside to bottle it.
