Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 205 The Wife's Obsession

Although the sharpness of the iron sword was questionable, with only yellow-level cutting power, it was quite difficult to match the strength of the female fire dragon's scales. But as the saying goes, great force can make bricks fly. Under the influence of the gravitational potential energy brought by the sufficient height difference, the insect-controlling stick successfully broke the scales on the back of the female fire dragon's head, pierced into the flesh, and even touched the bones.

"Roar!"

Perhaps the knife cut off some nerves, the female fire dragon howled miserably, and the flapping of its wings instantly became stiff.

It had already lost its tail to assist with balance, and now without the lift provided by its wings, the natural result was that it fell straight down from the sky with a wailing sound.

It was at least forty or fifty meters high, weighed more than ten or twenty tons, and crashed directly without any unloading force. You can imagine how hard the fall was.

Bones were broken, internal organs were shattered, scales were shattered... It can be said that half of his life was lost on the spot.

Lin Lin looked at the not-so-obvious big hole on the ground, the female fire dragon lying in the hole and struggling weakly, and Ye Zi who had to let go and jump down because the insect stick was stuck too deep and could not be pulled out for a while. He was speechless for a moment.

"Sorry, Brother Lin Lin, I didn't mean to interfere with your fight..."

Ye Zi glanced at the female fire dragon who was still trying to catch her breath, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Lin Lin walked over and patted Ye Zi's shoulder gently.

"No, I want to say thank you. If you hadn't stopped it from escaping in time, I'm afraid things would have gotten really troublesome."

Ye Zi scratched her face embarrassedly. She had just acted out of haste. Now that she thought about it, on her left was her teacher Ni Tai, and on her right was the retired hunter master and village chief Puxian. With such experts around, why would she need to take action?
Lin Lin temporarily ignored the topic and slowly walked towards the struggling female fire dragon that was becoming increasingly weaker.

In the special perception beyond the five senses, although the thought in front of him has become much weaker, it has an unimaginable firmness.

It was an unparalleled belief in survival - despite its current injuries, Lin Lin and others didn't need to do anything, they just needed to leave it alone, and it would die soon.

It knew it was going to die, but it was unwilling to die just like that because it had reasons to live no matter what.

"You won't survive. Even eating secret medicine like candy beans won't heal this kind of injury."

Lin Lin stared at the pair of dim orange dragon eyes and whispered to himself.

However, he did not realize that such a voice was also ringing in the mind of the female fire dragon when she was dying.

The massive blood loss caused the female fire dragon's vision to become blurred, but at this moment, a human image was clearly reflected in its pupils.

"To persist in refusing to die is only to increase your suffering."

The female fire dragon struggled even more fiercely, as if in its last moments, and its wings flapped, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Lin Lin suddenly felt dazed, and then an illusory picture appeared in front of him. Through this picture, he could still see the orange pupils of the female fire dragon.

In the picture, the perspective seems to be in the air, with mountains and ridges flying past quickly below. Finally, the owner of the perspective slows down and slowly falls into a hidden cave.

His sight turned and fell on a platform on the ground. There was a huge nest made of dead branches. There were several oval objects placed in the nest. For some reason, Lin Lin even felt that when he saw those eggs, they were covered with a layer of pink bubble filter.

Next, the owner of the perspective took a step, walked slowly over, and finally curled up in the nest. At the same time, a long green tail appeared in the picture, gathering the eggs under its body.

There is no doubt that the owner of this perspective must be the female fire dragon in front of us.

Next, the picture changed several times. Sometimes it was soaring in the sky, sometimes it was hunting in the mountains, and sometimes it was guarding dragon eggs in the nest... In the end, the picture returned to dimness until it completely disappeared.

However, there was no red flying dragon in the picture.

"A single mother... Is this the reason you insist on living no matter what?"

Lin Lin was silent for a moment, looked at the pair of dragon eyes that were already covered with darkness, and nodded slightly.

"I will help you take care of them if they are still there." The female fire dragon who had been holding on and refused to die finally closed her eyes and was completely dead.

Lin Lin stood there without moving, his head was in a mess for a moment, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Brother Lin Lin? Are you okay?"

On the side, Ye Zi pulled Lin Lin's arm with some concern. She could feel that Brother Lin Lin's mood was a little strange from the beginning.

Lin Lin came back to his senses, looked at Ye Zi, and then shook his head slightly.

"I'm fine, I was just thinking about something."

"Hey! What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to peel it off?"

Lin Lin took a deep breath and looked at Brave, who had already taken out the peeling knife. "Just do it. I don't need the material of the female fire dragon."

"Really? You don't want any of them? What if a dragon jade appears?"

"You keep it... I'm exhausted. Take your time peeling it. I'm going back to rest first."

……

That night.

Lin Lin lay on the bed, gazing through the window at the brilliant stars and the bright moon, and his mood could not calm down for a long time.

"What is the boss thinking about, meow?"

Coconut Date coaxed little Puff to sleep, then quietly climbed onto the bed, moved closer to Lin Lin, and looked at the night sky with him.

"I was thinking about the female fire dragon today."

"It's certainly powerful, meow, but didn't you successfully hunt it, meow? What else is there to think about, meow?"

Lin Lin chuckled, "Strictly speaking, it was Ye Zi who killed it. But that's not what I'm thinking about."

"What's that, meow?"

"I was wondering, is it wrong for a female fire dragon to run to an abandoned shrine while hunting in order to survive?"

"Instructor Ni Tai captured him for the safety of Yanhuo Village. Is that wrong?"

"Braif and I chose to fight it in the arena to hone our skills and gain experience. Is that wrong?"

"If all this is true, then why do I feel so uncomfortable?"

Yezao withdrew his gaze from the night sky and shifted it to Lin Lin.

"Didn't you already know the answer to this question when we were hunting the Sand Dragon, meow?"

"A sand dragon attacked the caravan to protect its cubs, and the hunters hunted the sand dragon to rescue the caravan. Isn't that the same thing, meow?"

"This is a battle for survival. It's all about stance, not right or wrong, meow!"

Lin Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled:
"That's right. I'm a bit too picky."

Maybe this is the downside of being able to hear monsters' inner thoughts. Too much empathy only adds to the trouble...
