Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 98 The dust has settled
After seeing the flag of Mineyama Maru clearly, the guild leader breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was not Fengshanlong that came, but a fleet. It seems that they successfully repelled Fengshanlong.

The president stuffed the telescope into the arms of the captain of the Fortress Guerrillas, jumped down from the top of the ledge, and ran all the way to the outermost edge of the defense line to welcome the return of the heroes.

"Hahaha, thank goodness I've accomplished my mission! I made you worry for nothing, Guild Master!"

The captain laughed and jumped off a fishing boat - as for why it was not the Fengshan Maru, it was naturally because the Fengshan Maru had suffered too much damage and was not suitable for sailing before overhaul.

The mustache-faced president patted the captain's arm vigorously, then smiled with relief.

"how is the situation?"

"We successfully repelled the Peak Mountain Dragon. We were able to collect quite a bit of its ore, which was scattered throughout the battle area. It bled quite a bit, but it's a shame that most of the ancient dragon's blood was contaminated. We might only be able to extract a little from the minced meat at the decisive battle site."

"Those guys in the fishing fleet caught a much bigger catch than us! Their hold was full of sandfish, and with the damaged sandboat, they could barely drag it!"

The mustache-faced president nodded and said, "I'll send a transport team over right away to recover the materials."

He waved his hand to summon a civilian staff member and whispered a few words to him. The mustache-faced president turned back and lowered his voice:

"What about the casualties?"

Mentioning this, the captain's smile faded. "Over 50% of the casualties are injured, 20% with minor injuries and 30% with serious injuries. As for the death toll, it's not confirmed yet, but if you include the missing, it's probably higher than that."

The captain clenched his fist and gestured. The mustache-faced president plucked his beard and sighed softly, "It's higher than in previous years..."

"Who told Fengshanlong to play by his own rules?"

"The search and rescue team has already set off with the transport team. We hope to be able to rescue a few more people."

The gloom only lasted a moment. The mustache-faced president patted his cheek and quickly straightened his expression. "Well, the heroes have returned victorious. We can't greet them with such a sad face."

"Let them have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow is the harvest festival, and we'll hold a celebration banquet!"

……

A hunter's cabin on top of a rocky hill.

Jujube did not seek shelter like the other residents, nor did he go to the temporary defense line like the hunters who did not attend the feast. Instead, he stayed here, comforting Tiaotiao, who seemed particularly uneasy today.

The alarm rang throughout the city, and Tiao Tiao naturally heard it, but it did not understand the meaning of the alarm. It just seemed a little anxious because the sound was everywhere. Yezao suspected that if he had not been here to accompany it, Tiao Tiao would have shown its aggressiveness as a yellow speed dragon.

"This is the alarm for the incoming Peak Dragon, meow. Boss should be fighting that guy right now, meow. Tiaotiao, you better be good and wait with me for Boss to come back, meow..."

Coconut Date kept talking, and it sounded like he was comforting Tiao Tiao, but actually he was comforting himself.

Born and raised in Rocklark, he knew better than anyone else that there would always be casualties at the annual feast, and he could only pray that such casualties would not befall those close to him.

"Huh? Tiaotiao, what's wrong with you, meow?"

Suddenly, Tiaotiao seemed to sense something and jumped up from the carpet where he was lying. He stared towards the door with trembling body, and his sharp claws scratched restlessly, tearing the gorgeous carpet under his feet into tatters. It looked like he was... afraid?
What would make Huang Sulong feel afraid?
The next moment, Lin Lin opened the door and greeted in a very tired voice:

"Kids, I'm back!" "Boss meow!"

The date palm jumped three feet high, which was quite a surprise.

Now that the boss is back, doesn’t that mean Fengshanlong’s interception was successful? Meow!

Tiao Tiao's brain froze for a moment, and he didn't know how to react.

It clearly saw and heard its own leader, but why did it feel an extremely terrifying aura of oppression from the leader?

The suffocating degree brought by that breath was so great that even the skeleton spider I saw in my childhood seemed like a firefly competing with the bright moon.

Lin Lin took off his shield axe casually and placed it against the corner of the wall. Then he walked towards the date palm and rubbed its little head hard.

"I'm so exhausted. Coconut date, you don't know what I did today..."

Lin Lin really wanted to cheer up and brag to Yezao about how well he had performed in the battle to stop Fengshanlong and how much of a role he had played. However, the fatigue brought by the long battle hit his mind in waves, which made his words become disordered from the initial coherence as soon as his butt landed on the sofa, and finally turned into a murmur like a dream.

"Boss is exhausted, meow..."

Yezao really wanted to help Lin Lin to the bed to rest, but he was too small and had only just started strength training, so he couldn't move Lin Lin. He had to try hard to help Lin Lin adjust his posture and let him lie down on the sofa.

"Such a strong smell of blood, meow..."

Yezao wrinkled his nose and looked at the armor on Lin Lin's body. After wiping off the sand adhering to the surface, he could see dark bloodstains on the armor that had not yet completely dried.

Turning around and seeing Tiaotiao wanting to get closer but not daring to, Yezao suddenly realized, "This is Gu Long's blood cat! No wonder Tiaotiao is afraid of cats!"

It rubbed the blood stain on the armor with its cat claws, then trotted to Tiao Tiao and put the blood stain on the tip of its claws under Tiao Tiao's nose.

"That's what you're afraid of, meow! Don't worry, meow, the boss has already beaten this guy away, meow!"

At first, Tiaotiao was a little confused when he saw Juzao put the cat's paw in front of his nose, but after he felt the breath from Juzao's cat's paw that made him tremble all over, he finally understood.

It turns out the leader is still the same leader, but his body is stained with the blood of some very terrifying creature...

and many more……

The mere blood of that thing can make the instinct go crazy and warn, but the leader can bathe in the blood of that thing. Doesn't this mean that the leader is more terrifying than that thing?

My leader has the best teeth in the world!

After figuring this out, Tiaotiao felt much more at ease. Feeling the breath again, he found that the feeling that every cell in his body was screaming for danger had faded a lot.

It’s like dreaming. You feel very terrified in the dream, but once you wake up and recall the content of the dream, you only feel absurdity.

Coconut Jujube suddenly tilted his head strangely:
"Huh? Why is the boss twisting his body? Is he sleepwalking?"

　Thanks to the relevant department staff for the reward of 500 points, thank you very much!
