Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 502 It's clearly a drama for three people, yet I feel so out of place.

Ziyuan initially thought that the two velociraptors would give up after waiting for her for a while without any results, but after several attempts, she had to admit that, in fact, they were much more patient than she had thought.

After several attempts to sneak away were discovered by the lurking velociraptors and chased after her, Shion finally realized the reality: these two velociraptors seemed determined to kill her, and even adopted a shift system—one would lie in wait while the other would go and fill its stomach, then return to take over.

This cannot continue.

Not only were food supplies running low, but more importantly, Guga's injuries were a serious problem.

Although she administered the medicine in time, without sufficient nutrition, the recovery medicine could only barely keep its wound from worsening. The longer it dragged on, the weaker Guga would become.

Ziyuan felt she couldn't just sit idly by and gamble on the limits of these two velociraptors' patience; she had to come up with a way to break the deadlock.

Clearly, relying solely on herself and the Sea Dragon Strike crafted from Sea Dragon materials, she was already at her limit in dealing with the ordinary Nargacuga. With the addition of the even more powerful White Gale, she had absolutely no chance of winning.

Help must be sought.

As for the person they sought help from, it was naturally Bref, who is now also permanently stationed in Moga Village.

Although Ziyuan didn't think that adding a Bref would make them able to take down a combination of a regular Nargacuga and a White Gale Nargacuga, at least they still had a chance to repel them.

Even if they can't repel them, one thing is certain: with the help of two highly mobile hounds, escaping will definitely not be a problem.

Both Shion herself and the heavily injured Guga were targets of the two velociraptors. Clearly, the task of calling for help could only fall to Chacha, who was a smaller and easier target to hide.

Nargacuga are undoubtedly nocturnal monsters. While this doesn't mean they sleep in their dens during the day, it's undeniable that the chances of being spotted and caught by a Nargacuga during the day are much lower.

So, after preparing her weapons and ammunition, Violet chose the midday sun when she stepped out of the camp again, and was attacked by the Nargacuga again in less than ten minutes.

This time, the one that pounced was the much stronger White Gale Dragon.

Instead of desperately dodging and fleeing as before, Ziyuan took a deep breath, drew her heavy crossbow, and pulled the trigger hard at Bai Jifeng's head:

"Fuck you, you damn bastard!"

Of course, Shion hadn't lost her mind. She stood still and fought the guy head-on. After firing a burst of shots, she slid across the heavy crossbow, just in time to avoid the guy's lunging attack.

Enduring the stench that assaulted her nostrils, Ziyuan didn't even glance at the patch of mud that had been blown up where she had just stood, nor did she pay any attention to the angry howls of pain the other party was letting out. She simply put away her heavy crossbow, turned around, and began to run away at full speed.

That burst of bullets was just to vent her anger and to better attract Bai Jifeng's attention. Now that she had achieved her goal, she naturally had to start running away as soon as possible.

If she didn't run, she might be torn to shreds by the furious White Gale—looking at the trees split in two by the "Eight-Point Light Wheel" thrown by the opponent, Shion didn't think her Sea Dragon armor could withstand it.

(As shown in the picture, the left is the female swordsman's armor, and the right is the female archer's armor, which is the set that Shion is currently wearing.)
Ziyuan's heart pounded and her breathing became rapid, partly due to the tension caused by Bai Jifeng relentlessly pursuing her, and partly due to excitement.

Yes, excited.

There's a saying that goes, "Only by getting infinitely close to death can one understand the true meaning of life." Although Ziyuan has never played Armor or heard of Martin Heidegger, it doesn't stop her reckless spirit from burning brightly.

While Bai Jifeng's pursuit was undoubtedly extremely dangerous, the intense thrill of dancing on the edge of a knife, where a single misstep could result in her being torn to pieces, thoroughly excited her. Her adrenaline surged, making her movements even faster and her senses more acute. She was always able to dodge Bai Jifeng's attacks by the slightest margin—whether it was a pounce, a swung thorn, or the terrifying "Eight-Point Light Wheel."

With Ziyuan focused on dodging and drawing Bai Jifeng's attention, the two were locked in a stalemate for a time. The experienced hunter realized that he couldn't do anything to this slippery fellow in such a short period of time, which made him even angrier.

After its roar, another howl came from the depths of the jungle, and this howl was rapidly approaching. Shion, who was feeling incredibly high, suddenly snapped back to reality.

Now that both velociraptors have been distracted by her, there's no longer any obstacle preventing Chacha from going back to get help. She should return to the camp to hold her ground. With the two velociraptors attacking from both sides, there's not much room to dodge. At that point, it won't be exciting; it'll be certain death.

Still not satisfied, Shion threw out a flashbang, dazzling the two Nargacuga with their bloodshot eyes locked on her, and then took the opportunity to run back as fast as she could.

Flashbangs and sonic grenades were used in turn to buy time for Shion's retreat. Finally, when they were completely exhausted, Shion returned to the fortified camp.

Panting heavily, Ziyuan lay exhausted on the ground, listening to the unwilling howls of the two velociraptors outside. Although she was too tired to move a finger, a smile of pleasure still appeared on her face.

This trip was incredibly exciting! Now, all I have to do is wait for Brave to come and find me.

"Gulu~"

Ziyuan's smile vanished. She helplessly rubbed her belly, sat up, took out a piece of food from her prop box and stuffed it into her mouth. Then she took out her water pouch and took a sip to soften the dry, hard food.

Ziyuan glanced at the pitiful amount of stock in the box and couldn't help but sigh.

Well, I hope he remembers to bring plenty of supplies, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to contribute much in the battle...

……

"In short, that's roughly how it is."

Lin Lin shrugged, and then a gust of wind high in the sky made him sway, which startled him so much that he quickly grabbed the shell on the back of the sky to steady himself.

"Did we bring enough supplies?"

Bref asked a question instinctively.

Lin Lin seemed to stiffen for a moment, but then coughed lightly:
"Of course I brought some, but not too much... Anyway, enough food to last a while in battle is enough, right?"

Brave couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth:
"You're not planning to take down those two velociraptors in one battle, are you?"

Sitting in front of Lin Lin, Ye Zi turned around and looked at Bref, blinking in confusion:
"why not?"

Brave: ...

"You all know that the velociraptor that appeared later was unusual, right?"

Lin Lin nodded: "Of course, I've long admired the two individual White Gale Dragons among the monsters."

Bref didn't even know where to begin complaining. Dude, even though we knew that guy was a powerful individual that was given the title of "Second Rank," did you really think we could just take down those two velociraptors?
Where did the confidence come from?
Yoko was very direct:
"Two monsters, how strong can they be compared to an ancient dragon? We've already defeated the real ancient dragons, so a White Gale is not enough to make us fear it."

Bref: ? ? ?

Three question marks appeared on his forehead. Dude, what have you two been doing for the past six months? Fighting against Gu Long? Seriously?
Lin Lin reached out and gently patted Ye Zi:
"Don't be so sure of yourself. We were just participants in the battle to defeat the Heavenly Dragon. Both the top teams and the guild leaders played a significant role, not to mention that Jump Jump helped out back then!"

"But we still have plenty of space!"

"But don't forget, there are two Nargacuga on the other side. Da Kong has to deal with the regular Nargacuga so that it doesn't disrupt our battle rhythm."

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Zi agreed:

"So that means the only way to take down that White Gale is with the four of us?"

"Obviously."

"By the way, do we need a permit this time? Won't it be considered poaching?"

"That guy attacked Shion on his own initiative. Normally, he would have directly entered the hunting commission. We just slightly adjusted the order, so it's fine."

As Lin Lin spoke, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. It was fortunate that he had brought Sophia along. Given their relationship, it wouldn't be a big problem to act first and ask for permission a couple of times; she would help him.

"I can rest assured that."

The two communicated so smoothly and naturally that Breve didn't know how to interject for a moment.

No, you guys actually went and attacked the ancient dragon?

And one more thing!

Do you really think our hunting party, which hasn't even been named yet, can take down that White Gale? You're already discussing compliance issues?

And one more thing!

Lin Lin, you with thick eyebrows and big eyes, so you think you can just forget the fact that I was the one who got punished in Lockheed?
And one more thing!

Why do I feel like you two are subtly ignoring me after this meeting? We're teammates, could it be that we've become estranged from each other because we haven't seen each other for so long?

Bref thought about it carefully. Judging from their attitudes when they talked to him, he didn't feel any awkwardness at all. But why did he feel like he couldn't join in their conversation?

"Tea bar! Tea bar!"

A series of urgent shouts interrupted Brave's thoughts. Turning his head, he saw that Chacha was pointing in a certain direction. Although he couldn't see her expression, he could still feel her urgency from her urgent tone.

"Here we are!"

Lin Lin's expression turned solemn, and the bondage stone in his hand emitted a faint glow.

He has already activated his shared vision with Oozora, and is currently observing the area below through Oozora's vision, which is even more powerful than Hawkeye's.

After a moment, he clicked his tongue in exasperation.
"The campsite that Ziyuan chose is really well hidden. There are trees everywhere in this forest. If Chacha hadn't pointed out the direction, we really wouldn't have noticed anything unusual from this rough view from above."

"Shall we go and meet up with Ziyuan first?"

Brave asked a question.

"No, let Yoko go."

Brave felt puzzled:
"Why her? What are the two of us doing?"

Lin Lin grinned as he watched the white shadow flash by through the trees surrounding the camp in the shared field of vision.

"Let's go find that White Gale and have a go at him."

Ye Zi naturally had no objection to this. After receiving the supplies prepared for Zi Yuan and Gu Jia from Lin Lin, she waited until Da Kong flew above the camp and then jumped down with both legs, which made Bref speechless.

Now I understand why it was Yoko who went.

With Wirebug and Insect Glaive, his aerial maneuverability is unparalleled. If it were him, without Wirebug to cushion and slow down, he would most likely crash into a flattened pancake – of course, he might also crash directly into the rocks, unable to be pried off, depending on whether the Barioth armor he's wearing is strong enough after being enhanced with armor orbs.

"Alright, don't worry about Ziyuan, just leave her to Yezi. As for the two of us, let's go find that old Deng and collect some interest!"

As Lin Lin spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, his expression ruthless, making him look like a villain.

You dare bully my junior sister? You don't want to live anymore, do you? Fine, I'll grant your wish!
Bref had no objection to this. Although they hadn't fought each other yet and were doubtful about whether they could successfully hunt White Gale, since the other party was bullying Shion like this, they would definitely make the other party pay a heavy price!
Well, although Shion's personality is sometimes too carefree and unreliable, she is still a member of their hunting party and their teammate. Not to mention that after arriving in Moga Village, they have fought side by side in countless dangerous battles. They have a life-or-death bond. So, after learning that Shion was in danger, although Bref did not show it on the surface, he was also burning with anger inside.

Of course, even the closest friendships are still just camaraderie. Given Shion's personality, Bref didn't even dare to imagine what a hellish picture it would be if their friendship turned sour. He preferred the dark-skinned older sister. It was just a pity that he hadn't seen Manju since they parted ways in Yuukun, and he didn't know if they would ever meet again.

"Hula-"

Da Kong swiftly swooped down, slowing slightly as he approached the ground. He released the Fang Hound, Shiro, who was riding in the VIP paw seat, and then Lin Lin, Bref, Nia Lu, and Cha Cha jumped down in turn, focusing their attention on the shadow of a giant tree.

After all the passengers disembarked, Osora slightly increased its altitude, but did not leave. It also kept its eyes fixed on that direction, and ultra-high-temperature flames began to gather in its mouth. Then, it spewed a huge fireball toward that place.

A white shadow seemed to flash in the shadows, easily avoiding the scorching flames, and then two red lights appeared on the white shadow.

“Wow!!!”
