Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 506 White Wind Squad
Lin Lin was absolutely right. The three of them hadn't even finished extracting materials from Bai Jifeng when the battle on this side was already over.

Both Rathalos and Nargacuga are monsters that frequently appear in forest areas and are considered map kings. They often fight for territory, with Rathalos sometimes winning and Nargacuga sometimes winning, making it a roughly 50/50 situation.

However, there are differences between different fire dragons. Not only does the Great Sky Dragon have a flight ability far exceeding that of ordinary male fire dragons, but the strength of its scales also increases significantly after they acquire that metallic luster.

In contrast, the velociraptor that fought it seemed so ordinary among the velociraptors. It had neither rich combat experience nor outstanding combat skills, and its body was riddled with holes and scars from its previous battle with Shion.

In comparison, during the battle, Da Kong consistently had the upper hand over the Velociraptor. If the Velociraptor hadn't noticed that Da Kong only had one right eye, resulting in a limited field of vision, and thus believed it could seize an opening to turn the tables, it would have run away long ago. Well, Bai Jifeng's death was too sudden, and it hadn't even noticed it yet. If it had known that its older brother was dead, it would have definitely turned and run away without a second thought.

Then Lin Lin rode Little White to the battlefield.

Lin Lin didn't even need to personally join the battle. He only needed to provide an additional perspective and strengthen Da Kong with the Bond Stone, allowing it to unleash even greater power. Da Kong was able to completely suppress this Nargacuga from beginning to end.

When Lin Lin threw another sonic boom grenade, Da Kong took advantage of the moment when the opponent's body was stiff from the high-frequency noise and fired a charged explosive grenade at the opponent's face, the scorching heat completely ending his life.

"Quickly, quickly, put out the fire!"

Lin Lin first smiled slightly because of Da Kong's victory, but then quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly called out to Da Kong.

Nargacuga's black fur is an excellent material, but its drawbacks are also obvious—it has excellent electrical conductivity and is extremely flammable. If the fire isn't put out quickly, the entire material will be burned!
Fortunately, this was a waterless forest, where water was plentiful. Da Kong grabbed the velociraptor's corpse and plunged it into a nearby puddle, extinguishing the flames amidst the rising white steam.

However, this velociraptor had fought with Violet for quite some time before, and had just fought with Sky for a long time. Even though Sky extinguished the flames in time, there were not many valuable materials left on its body. It mainly had blade wings and tail spines, and there were very few intact fur and scales.

Therefore, Lin Lin's side quickly completed the extraction, and even the progress was almost synchronized with Bai Jifeng's side.

Lin Lin packed up the few materials and hung them on Da Kong's back armor. He gently patted Da Kong, and Da Kong spread its wings, stretched out its claws to grab Xiao Bai, and took off with them, flying quickly towards the camp. This was much faster than when Lin Lin rode Xiao Bai there; being able to fly meant being able to do whatever you wanted.

As for Bref and his two companions, thanks to Yoko's presence, they were able to spot Oozora's movements from a distance, saving them the trouble of making another trip. The three of them headed directly to the camp to meet up.

……

Inside the camp.

The canvas tents kept out the dampness in the cave, while a bright campfire danced on the ground in front of the tents, its flames licking the surface of the roasting meat, scorching the fat to a golden color, and filling the cave with a rich aroma.

Lin Lin and the other three sat around the campfire, enjoying a rare and delicious meal after the fierce battle—except for Zi Yuan.

She had been starving for the past few days, so much so that she ate four pieces of the food that Yoko had brought in one go. Although this allowed her to quickly regain her strength and rejoin the battle, it also undoubtedly brought her a considerable feeling of fullness.

While this feeling of fullness is quite satisfying after a long period of hunger, it becomes extremely painful for Ziyuan when Da Xian idly catches a drooping dragon to provide ingredients for Lin Lin and the others' lunch.

Before the food in her stomach was partially digested and made room for her, she could only watch longingly from the sidelines, unable to do anything about it despite her craving.

Yoko glanced at Shion's bobbing Adam's apple, her lips unconsciously curving upwards, but she forcefully suppressed it. She handed the steak in her hand to Shion and said softly:

"Want some?"

Ziyuan looked exasperated. "If I could eat it, would I just stand by and watch?"
Yoko chuckled mischievously, knowing this was exactly what she wanted to know, which was why she'd asked that question—a deliberate jab at her best friend's heart. Brave tore off a large chunk of meat, glistening with fat, and swallowed it all in one gulp, letting out a satisfied sigh.

"After such a long time, our team is finally reunited!"

"It's a pity we came out for this rescue in such a hurry that we didn't bring a few bottles of Daren beer with us, otherwise we should be downing a big glass right now!"

Lin Lin shook his head helplessly, took out his water pouch, and took a sip.
"After all, we're in the wild, so we don't have the resources. Let's just make do with some spring water for now. Once we get back to the village, we'll have a big feast to celebrate."

To avoid being so horribly tempted, Ziyuan forced herself to focus on the conversation. Listening to Lin Lin and Brave's talk, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked a question:

"Speaking of which, although we've already formed a team, it seems like we haven't decided on a name for it yet?"

"Eh?"

Yoko paused for a moment, "That makes sense, our team has never had a name! Senior Julius and the others have a top-tier team name!"

Brave nodded solemnly:

"Indeed, so how about we come up with one now?"

"Let me think... How about the Red Blade Squad?"

Lin Lin, Ye Zi, Zi Yuan: (_)
What a great name! People who don't know us might think that all four of us in our team use katanas.
Feeling the disapproving looks from the three men, Brave shrank back and muttered something under his breath.

Why not? Aren't Charged Longsword, Insect Control Longsword, and Folding Longsword longswords longswords?

However, he didn't dare say it aloud.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Zi suggested, "How about calling it 'Overbearing Arrogance'?"

Bref bluntly retorted, "It's too long, and the three of us aren't from Flame Village, so it's not appropriate."

So Ye Zi looked at Lin Lin with pitiful eyes, hoping to get his support. However, Lin Lin also felt that the name was not quite right. He looked down at the roasted meat in his hand, pretending to be deep in thought, and pretended not to see Ye Zi's eyes.

Aster was in high spirits:

"I've got it! Since we decided on our team name after taking down White Gale, let's just call ourselves 'White Gale'!"

Bref nodded slightly. Although he felt it still didn't sound as good as the name "Red Blade," "White Gale" wasn't bad either.

Ye Zi pouted and glared fiercely at Lin Lin. "Most hunting groups seem to have two characters in their names. How about we shorten it and call it 'White Wind'? What do you think, Brother Lin Lin?"
