Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 478 What? Its weakness is electricity? Then there's nothing to be afraid of!
"Hello? Can you hear me?"

Soon, in Lin Lin's perception, a silver-white question mark formed from lightning slowly floated by.

Immediately afterwards, Lingrui's unique, clear voice rang out from within:
What do you want?

Lin Lin smiled and said, "Can't I just chat with you if there's nothing wrong?"

On the other end, Lingrui remained silent for a moment, his voice filled with confusion.

'chat?'

The simple-minded Gu Long didn't quite understand this term. After all, the concept of chatting is based on language, and it's clear that the Qilin doesn't have a systematic language.

"It's just talking to each other, discussing whatever comes to mind, like our experiences, hobbies, opinions on certain things... things like that."

'So that's how it is... Human life is truly rich and varied!'

Lingrui's voice became a little lighter:
"So, how have you been lately? What happened to that awful guy you said you were going to chase after?"

"It's great. This period of time is a novel experience that I haven't had in the past twenty years."

Lin Lin subconsciously pursed his lips, but then realized he had gone off-topic and quickly steered the conversation back on track:

"As for that Heavenly Returning Dragon, we have already successfully killed it."

Lingrui was initially quite curious about what kind of novel experience Lin Lin was talking about, but Lin Lin's subsequent words successfully caught its attention, and the thoughts it conveyed were full of surprise and joy.

'Wow, that's amazing! They actually took down that troublesome guy! Hopefully, this chaotic situation like in the primeval forest won't happen elsewhere.'

It has to be said that Lingrui's undisguised admiration and surprise made Lin Lin feel quite elated. Showing off is indeed enjoyable, especially when the one being shown off isn't just some ordinary passerby, but a genuine ancient dragon; the thrill is doubled.

Lin Lin felt a surge of secret pleasure for a moment before replying:
"It's still possible, but it won't be as serious as in the primeval forest. After all, although the Heavenly Returning Dragon was killed, there are still several Black Erosion Dragons running around."

"But don't worry, Jumpy has completed its transformation and become a new Heavenly Returning Dragon, and is capturing them one by one."

Lingrui didn't quite understand the relationship between the Black Erosion Dragon and the Heavenly Returning Dragon, nor was she clear about the intricacies involved. So Lin Lin gave her a brief explanation. Whether it was the unique reproductive mechanism of this race or Jump Jump's experiences, it all intrigued her. It truly is a world full of wonders.

'In comparison, I seem to be at a much lower level.'

Lingrui sighed, then turned to talk about her experiences during this period:
'The way the Mad Dragon Disease spreads is really troublesome. The situation was basically under control, but as soon as we relaxed our vigilance a little, it immediately relapsed. It seems we have to wipe out all the infected monsters in one fell swoop.'

"Furthermore, my lightning horn hasn't fully regenerated, and my lightning control abilities haven't fully recovered, so I'm sorry, I can't travel with you as we agreed for the time being."

Lingrui's tone carried a hint of disappointment, which Lin Lin could sense; it was clear that it was still quite looking forward to leaving the primeval forest for a trip.

"What's there to apologize for? You didn't do anything wrong."

"Don't worry, our agreement still stands. Once you're ready, we'll embark on our journey together."

"However, speaking of which, I have a favor to ask you."

'Is there anything I can help you with? Sure, sure!' Since their last encounter in the primeval forest, whether it was fighting the Heavenly Returning Dragon, fighting the Mad Dragon Golden Lion, or healing its wounds afterward, Lingrui felt that it had always been Lin Lin who helped it. Now that it could help Lin Lin, it was very happy.

They actually agreed without even asking what kind of help it would be...

It's often said that Gu Long's wisdom even surpasses that of humans, but now it seems we can't equate wisdom with experience.

Of course, Lin Lin didn't actually know that Ling Rui's immediate agreement to help wasn't because she was easily fooled, but because it was Lin Lin's request.

“A steel dragon has recently appeared in the dense forest next to the native forest, seriously threatening the lives of the villagers here. So my master and mistress decided to have a territorial battle with that guy and drive it out of the dense forest.”

'Master? Mistress? What are those?'

So Lin Lin explained simply: "Master is the one who taught me combat skills, and Master's wife is Master's spouse, but actually, Master's wife was also my master for a period of time."

Lingrui was immediately shocked.

In its view, Lin Lin was able to fight against the Golden Lion alone and take down the Heavenly Returning Dragon in a team. It thought that Lin Lin was invincible. Unexpectedly, there was someone who could teach him skills. Whose subordinate is this?
"The battle with the ancient dragon is extremely dangerous, so I would like to ask you to keep an eye on them. If any emergency occurs after the battle begins, I hope you can take care of them."

Lingrui: ? ? ?
Who? Me? To protect them?

Are you mistaken? I can't even beat the Golden Lion!

"In terms of combat experience and combat awareness, I am not as good as my master and mistress, but the human body is actually very fragile in the battle against ancient dragons. I just happened to reach the limit and greatly enhanced my physical fitness."

To put it bluntly, his skills are a bit inferior to Kevin's, but his strong physique brings a high degree of leeway. For example, in the battle against Tenkai Dragon, he was hit by Wing Claw like a badminton shuttlecock, and he only broke a few ribs. But if it were Kevin, he would probably have to recover from the injury for more than half a year.

Upon hearing Lin Lin's words, Lingrui, with its intelligence, immediately understood the principle that a disciple need not be inferior to his master, and a master need not be more virtuous than his disciple. However, it still had a slight worry:

'I'll help, but... Steel Dragon, you know, the one that controls the storms, right? It's an Elder Dragon too, I'm afraid I can't beat it...'

Lin Lin: ...

This girl probably got traumatized by the attacks of the Celestial Dragon and the Golden Lion... It's like an Elder Dragon has made her so insecure...

"Don't worry, if it were any other monster, the outcome would be hard to predict, but if the opponent is a Steel Dragon—"

"Will win!"

"That thing is made entirely of a metal exoskeleton with excellent electrical conductivity. With your abilities, you can easily subdue it."

Lin Lin's words immediately boosted Ling Rui's confidence. His weakness was electricity, so there was nothing to be afraid of!
'I understand, I will defeat it!'

Lin Lin: ...

"No, your injuries haven't fully healed yet, have they? I just wanted you to protect them a little in case of a critical situation, not for you two ancient dragons to start fighting each other!"

The two ancient dragons were fighting with all their might in the dense forest next to Jiangbo Village. Even the aftershocks would destroy the village!
