Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 504 Ferocious Transformation into White Gale
When Bai Jifeng heard the wind behind him and tried to dodge, it was already too late.

Ye Zi deliberately timed her attack at the moment after Bai Jifeng's long-distance jump, and without hesitation, she thrust her platinum-colored insect club straight down, easily piercing a bloody hole in Bai Jifeng's back.

However, since the height of this falling attack was not high and there was no Wirebug to accelerate it, the force of the attack was somewhat lacking, and the depth of the wound was not enough to support Yoko in performing a riding finishing move (that is, pole dancing).

Without any hesitation, Ye Zi slung the insect club behind her back and waved her hands. The two flying insects then released a large amount of insect silk, which clearly pierced into the joints and acupoints of Bai Jifeng's body.

Feeling the stinging pain from its back, Bai Jifeng suddenly turned its head, wanting to bite the uninvited guest on its back. However, it soon found that its movements were greatly affected. Its joints were stimulated by the constantly vibrating silk, and the muscles all over its body exerted force, which seriously interfered with its movements.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several crossbow bolts fired in quick succession, and several bullets struck the White Gale's face while it was frozen in place. The intense electric current caused the White Gale Dragon pain and made it even more difficult to concentrate on resisting the constant stimulation from the Iron Worm Silk.

Ye Zi was completely focused on controlling the iron worm silk, her forehead already covered in cold sweat. Bai Jifeng's resistance was making her quite anxious, and she was almost unable to maintain her dragon control. Fortunately, Shion's timely attack helped relieve a lot of the pressure.

With a slight flick of his fingers, Bai Jifeng, who had just transferred his hatred to Ziyuan because of being washed on the face, suddenly jolted and involuntarily rushed forward.

In front of it stood a huge banyan tree.

Bai Jifeng hurriedly tightened its limbs in an attempt to slow down, but it didn't have much time to react. Once it started running, it couldn't stop so easily. It could only watch helplessly as it crashed headfirst into the giant banyan tree, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.

Now it has no way to take control of the body for the time being, and can only let Yoko behind it do as she pleases.

Ye Zi suddenly grabbed the silk thread in her left hand, twisted her body slightly to prevent Bai Jifeng from losing his balance and falling, and turned to another huge tree not far away, and ran wildly.

Bai Jifeng had just recovered from his dizziness when he saw the rough, twisted tree bark rapidly magnifying in his eyes once again.

"boom!"

This time, it not only saw stars, but its head was also bleeding profusely. It completely lost its balance, fell to the ground, rolled over, and then lay there, unable to find its way back to control its body for a while, struggling haphazardly.

Ye Zi had already released the silk thread she was holding the moment the second impact occurred, and leaped up, thus avoiding being crushed by the overturned Bai Jifeng.

"Good job!"

Lin Lin didn't hold back in praising his girlfriend, but that didn't affect his actions. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he charged to the fallen Bai Jifeng and then threw out a flying insect.

Having used two fully charged counterattacks, his shield and axe were already itching for a counterattack.

His body leaped into the air, and the Rebel Shield Axe Zisu transformed into an axe and swung it behind him. His entire body was like a fully drawn bow, condensing the boiling power within him into a sharp arrow, which he then shot out fiercely.

"Explosion!!!"

The giant axe's landing point was slightly off due to Bai Jifeng's struggle, and it didn't hit its head exactly. Instead, it landed on one of its blade wings, followed by a crisp "crack" sound. After being bombarded by the Sky's fireballs, Bref's katana slash, and Lin Lin's full-power super release, Bai Jifeng's blade wing finally broke off under the strain.

However, this was not the end. The explosion of the grenade launchers, which resembled a row of golden fountains, engulfed almost half of Bai Jifeng's body. With the support of the heavy beetle armor worn by Lin Lin, the golden fountains were incredibly powerful. Although they did not seem to cause any external injuries, the violent shockwaves caused a large number of muscle fibers in Bai Jifeng's body to break.

—If it weren't for the fact that the velociraptor's fur has a good absorption effect on impact, Bai Jifeng's bones might have been injured under such a strong shock.

The excruciating pain caused Bai Jifeng to let out a painful howl. The intense shock transmitted through the protection of its skull to its brain, making its already dizzy head even more muddled, and slowing down its struggles.

Lin Lin, panting heavily, disassembled the sword and shield again. Having just unleashed a burst of explosive damage, he had to start accumulating energy again. Judging from Bai Jifeng's physical abilities, he probably wouldn't have a chance to unleash a second aerial super-discharge before it got back up.

However, Lin Lin was not fighting alone; someone quickly filled the gaps in his damage output.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Several stun grenades flew in from a tricky angle, all aiming for Bai Jifeng's eyes, determined to completely blind him.

It's clear that after being trapped in the camp and starving for so many days, eventually having to eat moss to stave off hunger, Shion harbors a great deal of resentment towards this guy.

Lin Lin pondered for a moment, then gave up the frontal shooting range so that Zi Yuan could shoot more freely. He then went to the flank to slack off with Ye Zi. He was in a period of low output after using his Super Amped Elemental Discharge, while Ye Zi, after unleashing a wave of Dragon Slayer attacks, commanded Xiao Jia to absorb essence and strengthen itself.

Well, technically speaking, this should be considered a bug cannon style. However, since Xiao Jia is a bug that has drunk the blood of the Qilin, the electric current released by each attack is not weaker than the electric shock bullet of Zi Yuan. In other words, the attack frequency is not as good as that of the heavy crossbow. Otherwise, Lin Lin would think that Ye Zi could directly change to a heavy crossbow user.

While Shion unleashed a fierce barrage of attacks, Lin Lin Yezi dealt negligible damage from the flanks, while the last member of the four-person team was nibbling at Bai Jifeng's tail.

Well, while many hunting parties will assign inexperienced or less skilled members to attack the relatively safe monster's tail during hunts, don't get me wrong, Bref didn't attack the tail for that reason—if that were the case, it would be Shion who was stealing White Gale's rear end.

Although the fight was short, Bref had already noticed something: almost all of the most threatening and lethal moves used by the White Gale were executed through its tail. If its tail could be severed, the White Gale's threat level would immediately drop several levels, and the subsequent battle would inevitably be much easier.

So, at the same time Lin Lin pulled the Flying Insect to unleash that air-to-air attack, Bref also ran to the side of White Gale's tail and, without saying a word, began to unleash a series of air blade slashes.

Ever since mastering the quick and convenient techniques of Iaijutsu and Shikigami, Brave had always disliked the primitive and clumsy Spirit Blade combo. However, when monsters were down and unable to attack, he had no choice but to use this cumbersome method to slowly sharpen his blade. It must be said that the gymnastic sharpening technique was ridiculously slow, especially the final Spirit Blade Great Spin, which required sheathing the sword to stabilize the newly formed Spirit Blade before drawing it again to attack, wasting several seconds. In the tense and exciting battle, every second was precious.

Two Dragon Headbutts, plus Lin Lin's Super Amped Explosion, left Bai Jifeng dizzy for over ten seconds. To be honest, that was long enough. Ziyuan had already emptied a magazine on Bai Jifeng, while Bref had only just completed two sets of gymnastics and successfully activated Supreme Red Blade.

"Roar, ahhh!"

White Gale, having gotten to his feet, was undoubtedly enraged. The Swift Dragon was not a monster known for its defense, and after being stunned by that strange method, it lost its greatest advantage, "agility." The attacks from the hunters undoubtedly dealt it a heavy blow.

At this moment, Bai Jifeng's head was already stained with blood. His once soft fur was now scarred and mangy, and in some places, the surface flesh had disappeared, revealing the stark white bones underneath. One of his eyes, which had once been fierce and gleaming with a scarlet light, had now become a dark, empty hole from which blood continuously flowed.

This is only the injury to its head. Not to mention that one of its blades was broken off, which greatly affected its balance when gliding and leaping. In addition, the rupture of multiple muscle fibers caused it to suffer excruciating pain with every movement.

However, such severe injuries did not deter it; instead, it became even more ferocious and launched an attack on the four hunters.

It was like a mad dog, completely disregarding the immense strain on its body from the relentless attacks, and ignoring the warnings of pain. It had only one thought: to tear all the enemies in front of it to shreds!

Leaping and pouncing, blade-wing slicing, iron-mountain lean, double spin and tail whip, double tail smash, throwing out thorny darts, and also throwing out air blades with extremely strong cutting power...

White Gale's counterattack was so fierce that the four hunters had to restrain their offensive and focus more on dealing with White Gale's onslaught. They used a variety of methods, dodging and weaving, and various GPs to barely maintain the situation.

"Its stamina is limited! If we can survive this burst of power, it's our turn!"

Ye Zi threw a flying insect with her backhand, which propelled her body several meters sideways in the air, avoiding Bai Jifeng's attack again, while shouting to warn her teammates.

Bref had been looking for an opportunity to unleash a Dragon Rising or a Divine Iai Slash, but the White Gale's attacks were almost relentless, giving him no chance to make a move. As the crimson aura on the blade was about to crumble, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

But no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't lose his composure. Brave simply focused even more intently on White Swift's movements, trying to find an opportunity.

After a moment, his pupils contracted slightly, and his tone became heavy:

"I'm afraid things aren't that simple! This guy is showing signs of becoming ferocious!"

Ye Zi was slightly taken aback. She had only heard about an abnormal phenomenon called ferocity in the vicinity of Moga Village from Sana before, but she had no idea what it was. Now it seemed that ferocity was really this outrageous.

They're like mad dogs, they just won't stop!

Lin Lin was also taken aback, but unlike Ye Zi, he was simply surprised. This was Bai Jifeng! Could even two individuals transform into ferocious forms? This was too outrageous!

Using the techniques she learned from Rachel, Ziyuan silently shrank into the shadows of the bushes, minimizing her presence to avoid attracting Bai Jifeng's attention. The three melee hunters could each display their unique skills, but she, a heavy crossbowman without any modified shield parts, would be in a very awkward situation if this mad dog got close to her.

But she didn't simply hide away and do nothing. Shion had been carefully observing Bai Jifeng's condition through the scope and came to the same conclusion as Brave.

A layer of black mist was faintly shrouding the guy's head; without a doubt, this was a manifestation of his ferocious transformation!

Shion had also dealt with ferocious monsters before, although it was just a dog dragon king. But after discussing and analyzing with Brave, they were able to summarize a general strategy for dealing with this type of monster.

For example, ferocious monsters cannot maintain this relentless, mad dog-like state indefinitely. They will also become exhausted and reveal their weaknesses. However, their stamina is indeed much more abundant than that of ordinary monsters. It takes a long time to wait for them to tire out, which is a huge test of the hunter's stamina. If they cannot hold on, the consequences will be quite dire.

While Shion and Brave were discussing and analyzing, they discovered a way to accelerate the process of making the ferocious monsters fall into a state of exhaustion: by focusing their attacks on the parts of the monster's body shrouded in black aura.

Although the principle behind it is unknown and no scholar has been able to provide an explanation, at least through practical experience, Shion has been able to confirm that it works, and that is enough.

Ziyuan silently took out a magazine and loaded it into the heavy crossbow. She aimed the scope at Bai Jifeng, who was still going berserk, and after a moment, she suddenly pulled the trigger, emptying the entire magazine.

Bai Jifeng was about to pounce on Lin Lin when it heard the sound of the crossbow firing. It quickly turned its head and shifted its target, intending to pounce on the source of the sound. However, almost at the same time, several crossbow bullets dispersed the black mist above its head and then entered its wound. The bullet casings then cracked, injecting the venom inside.

Bai Jifeng's movements froze, and he felt all the strength in his body dissipate, leaving him utterly exhausted.

And... it lost control of its muscles again, but this time it wasn't the areas stimulated by the silk threads that were working as before; instead, all the muscles in its body began to spasm.

"Now's the time, hit it on the head!"

"understand!"

Lin Lin grinned. He wondered if it was because Ye Zi and Bref could only dodge and dodge at the extreme, while only Lin Lin could raise his shield and block, so the White Gale attacked Lin Lin the most frequently. It was precisely because of this that the energy bottle he had just emptied had already been refilled.

"Next, it's my turn!"
