Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 347 Luring the Horned Dragon
The two high-ranking hunters worked together and successfully kept the Diablos's attention at bay, giving the caravan members time to disperse. However, while the people could run, the animals pulling the carts and the cargo on them had no chance to escape and were quickly and severely damaged in the Diablos' rampage.

Kevin clenched his fists tightly, his eyes fixed on the horned dragon not far away. He desperately wanted to rush up. Rachel and Rex, one with a heavy crossbow and the other with a hunting horn, were not suited to fight monsters head-on, so they could hardly prevent the enemy from causing economic losses to the caravan.

"hateful……"

If it weren't for the fact that all the equipment he brought was damaged in the battle with the Storm Dragon, and that his body hadn't yet recovered to the point where he could fight, he would have already charged in and faced the Horned Dragon head-on.

"Master, let's retreat first. There's nothing we can do here..."

Ziyuan was a little nervous and wanted to pull Kevin away from the savage beast, but as an archer, how could she possibly move Kevin, this humanoid monster? Seeing that the battlefield was about to shift, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and reach out to take the heavy crossbow off her back.

"I'll distract it!"

Suddenly, a shout came from behind. Kevin turned around and saw a bird dragon covered in emerald green armor rushing towards them. The shout came from the hunter on the dragon's back.

"Don't be brave!"

As the Yellow Velociraptor sped past him, Kevin couldn't help but shout a warning.

Lin Lin didn't turn around, but simply raised his arm and gave a thumbs up.

The ceratopsian came suddenly, emerging from under the sand to launch an attack. At the time, he was in the carriage, trying to "tame" his Destenetta. That's why he arrived late on his hops after the ceratopsian had already started fighting the two high-ranking hunters.

After observing from the outside for a while, he discovered the problem. Although the two high-ranking hunters were able to use their experience and superb skills to restrain the Diablos, and even if given more time, it was not impossible to kill it, high-ranking hunters also have their weaknesses.

They lack the ability to move at high speeds and can only fight on the spot. The horned dragon's massive body means that even when it locks its target onto the two hunters, it can still cause great damage to the surrounding area. If this continues, the Bobo pulling the cart will suffer heavy casualties, which will severely slow down their progress.

But he was different. With Jumpy around, he could easily draw the Horned Dragon's aggro and then move the battlefield to a more distant wasteland.

With time of the essence, Lin Lin only had time to grab Date by the scruff of its neck and put it on Jumpy's back. Then, with a slight push of its legs, Jumpy shot out like an arrow and charged straight at the Horned Dragon.

As a native yellow Velociraptor of the desert, Jump had long ago witnessed the terror of the Desert Tyrant and clearly recognized the huge difference in their ecological niches. Logically speaking, when faced with such a terrifying creature, it should have kept its distance and avoided provoking the tyrant's wrath.

But now, having followed Lin Lin and witnessed all sorts of powerful monsters, even terrifying ancient dragons capable of bringing down natural disasters, Jump is no longer the same as before. When facing the horned dragon again, it maintained a calmness that surprised even itself, nimbly dodging the thick tail that was like a battering ram, and then poured a mouthful of paralyzing venom onto the horned dragon's rear end.

"Roar!"

Aside from the weak and pathetic Poppies that could only be used for pulling carts, Jumpy was almost the tallest creature present. It was precisely because of this that Jumpy's venomous attack instantly attracted the attention of the Diablos. Although Diablos are cactus-eating monsters, in terms of temperament, this herbivore was far more volatile than any carnivore, and its territorial instincts were terrifyingly strong. It would aggressively attack any intruders, sometimes even its own kind.

At this moment, the horned dragon clearly regarded the entire caravan as intruders, and the hopping creature darts around in front of it was the one among the intruders that needed to be dealt with first.

Then the horned dragon let out an angry roar, lowered its head, and pointed its thick, curved horns at Jump Jump.

Its blood was boiling, its heart was pumping at high speed, injecting terrifying power into this enormous body that was over twenty meters long. Although there was no steam rumbling, its charging momentum far surpassed that of the Sand Dragon.

Without Lin Lin's reminder, Jump had already turned around and sped towards the open space in the distance. Its claws pounded on the ground covered with rough gravel, and the familiar texture made every step it took even easier. For a moment, it ran at a speed that far exceeded that of the Diablos.

The horned dragon's chariot couldn't catch up for a while. The downward charging motion affected its center of gravity, forcing it to slow down and stop after about a hundred meters to avoid falling over.

When it raised its head again, trying to see the target's location clearly, it found that the despicable intruder had already run fifty meters ahead, and was now stopping and turning its head to look at it, making the yellow Velociraptor's unique mocking "ga-a ...

Yes, of course, Jump was indeed taunting, after all, it had just run too fast by accident, and if it lost aggro and went back to attack the convoy, that would be bad.

The horned dragon was only trying to drive away the intruder and defend its territory. After seeing Jump flee in panic, it was about to turn back and let the guy go. However, Jump's piercing, sharp, and mocking roar reached the horned dragon's excellent hearing, and it felt its anger surge up.

Instead of trying to chase it, it spun around and slammed its heavy tail into the ground in front of it.

The next moment, a large crater appeared in the ground, the hard rock surface was smashed directly, and the heaviest boulder was thrown out by the force of the tail smash, and it crashed towards Jump Jump with unparalleled power.

"Tsk, this guy's gotten smarter..."

Realizing it couldn't catch the hopping creature, it simply gave up the chase and resorted to ranged attacks? That horned dragon...

With a nimble sidestep, it dodged the falling rocks. Knowing that Lin Lin wanted to lure the horned dragon further away, it didn't retreat but instead charged forward again.

Seeing this, the horned dragon's eyes widened slightly. Roar, instead of running away, it's walking towards me?
It exhaled a burst of hot air excitedly from its nostrils, and its claws kept pawing at the ground, as if it was gathering strength.

This attack will surely leave you utterly defeated!
