Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 477 How can this be passed down from generation to generation?
Although he had decided to take a long vacation, the brigade leader did not intend to leave the Isana in Jiangbo Village. After all, there was no proper airport here, and there was also the presence of Steel Dragon. If that guy got angry and stirred up a storm, his expensive airship might be scrapped.

He planned to fly directly to East Doruma, the largest city on the continent, where he would feel more at ease leaving the airship.

The rest of the group either chose to go on vacation to East Doruma, such as the dragonman merchant and the cat chef, or they chose to stay in Jiangbo Village, such as the blacksmith and Gemma.

After everyone dispersed, Sophia, carrying Baobao, found Lin Lin and Yezi and expressed her desire to travel with them.

Yoko: ...

Sigh, they really have no sense of being a third wheel.

"By the way, how are you planning to get back? By boat? Or by airship? You can't possibly walk, can you?"

Lin Lin gave a slightly awkward smile:

"neither."

"Eh?"

"It was Osora who came to pick us up."

"what???"

Lin Lin glanced at Bao Bao, who was being held in Sophia's arms. Since they had picked it up from the underground volcano, its size hadn't grown much; Sophia just seemed to have some difficulty holding it.

This growth rate is vastly different from that of the Great Sky back then. Although the Great Sky has some special talent, Lin Lin suspects that the slow growth of this little dragon is also related to the fact that it is often blown to pieces and its nutrients are consumed for regeneration.

However, after experiencing multiple explosions, the little guy's control over the slime mold has improved significantly. It has gradually reduced from three explosions a day to one explosion a day, and in the last few days, it has even managed to explode once every three days. In addition, the newly formed carapace has also developed good explosive resistance. With fewer injuries, more nutrients can be used for body growth, so its growth rate should be faster in the future.

However, that's a matter for later. Right now, the weight of the Boom is about the same as that of the Dates, and it's not even as heavy as his own Charge Blade. With the Sky King's stamina and load-bearing capacity, carrying the three people, two cats, and a small Brachydios will be no problem at all. Even if they have to rest a few times along the way, it will still be much faster than taking a boat.

The seats are a bit difficult to allocate. Considering the size of Oozora when he left Yukumo, it seems a little cramped. We need to adjust the seating so that Oozora can hold the two cats with his paws. That's how Date was carried before.

Although it was confirmed that Sophia would be traveling with the little dragon, the journey from Jieyun to Jiangbo was almost across the entire continent, and it would take Da Kong some time to get there. Before that, they could make some preparations for their departure.

For example, take off this bulky and heavy armored dragon armor and send it back to your room on the Isana, and put on the heavy beetle armor that the blacksmith brother delivered a few days ago.

While this set of equipment isn't as defensively strong as the Armored Dragon set, the buffs from [Artillery] and [Sharp Blade] make it far more offensively powerful. Defensively, it also boasts [Defensive Performance] and [Hero's Shield], making the difference negligible. Plus, this super-robot-like design is significantly cooler than the bulky, canned Armored Dragon set. He's decided to wear this set for everyday use from now on, unless facing monsters particularly skilled with fire; otherwise, the Armored Dragon set will likely remain gathering dust in its chest.

Well, considering that he planned to go to Moga Village to find Bref and Ziyuan later, Lin Lin also asked the blacksmith to help him embed the Swamp Crossing Beads he had previously crafted into the Heavy Beetle Set.

Meanwhile, Yoko's Tenmai Dragon Insect Stick [THE Tracker] was freshly made. After getting her hands on it, the girl tried it out. The appearance was simple and neat, much better looking than the heavy Diablos Stick. It also felt very light in the hand and was easy to wield. It didn't feel as bulky as the Diablos Stick at all.
Its sharpness rating even reached purple, which is said to be able to cut through iron like mud, and is much stronger than the Diablos Staff which only has blue sharpness, and is a whole white sharpness.

It possesses considerable dragon elemental energy, and coincidentally, Elder Dragons are among the most dangerous monsters, with most of their weaknesses being dragon-related attributes. This makes it far superior to the Diablos Staff, which has no elemental attribute and can only deal physical damage!
After using it for a period of time, one will contract the Mad Dragon Disease, but this is nothing to Yoko, who also has extensive experience in overcoming it. The burning pain during the infection state stimulates her to unleash even greater power. After overcoming it, she can be more focused in battle and keenly perceive the monster's weaknesses. Now, with the [Turning Misfortune into Fortune] talisman, she can also gain a portion of life energy to enhance her power. (Mad Dragon Disease [Erosion])
The only drawback is that its lightness results in a significantly weaker striking force compared to the heavier Diablos staff.

However, the Insect Glaive is not a weapon like the Charge Blade that focuses on heavy power. Strength does not have a significant impact on its lethality. These minor flaws cannot stop this platinum Insect Glaive from becoming Yoko's favorite. Just like Lin Lin shelved the Armored Dragon set, she put the Diablos Insect Glaive in a box to gather dust.

Of course, during the time he was waiting for Da Kong to arrive, Lin Lin did some other things besides changing his equipment.

For example, when visiting his master and mistress, he might boast about his great contributions in the recently concluded Elder Dragon hunt and casually ask if they could help in the battle against the Steel Dragon. However, as soon as he said that last sentence, the two elders, who had been looking worried about the fierce battle, immediately changed their expressions and impatiently started to chase him away.

"Go cool off somewhere else! You're addicted to playing Gu Long? Do you enjoy the feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife? You just risked your life once, and now you want to do it again?"

"Your master, Rickres, and I are here—three seven-star hunters! It's not your turn yet, you youngsters!"

Lin Lin was completely bewildered after being kicked out of the house.

Damn it, I've really been underestimated! The power of pushing things to the limit is limitless!

Wait, something feels strangely familiar.
Oh right, when I stopped Osora from coming to find me because of the rampant Mad Dragon virus, that kid seemed to have a similar reaction.

So I've become a great strategist?
How can this be passed down from generation to generation?
Lin Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, never having understood his master and mistress's good intentions so deeply.

Well, since that's the case, there's no need to force ourselves to get involved, lest we upset the two elders and ruin their health... However, although he can't help, he has other ways to provide insurance for this battle.

Lin Lin closed his eyes again, and his consciousness resonated with the being on the other side through the invisible and intangible channel.

"Hello? Can you hear me?"
