Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 516 The Giant of Light in the Sea

It's unknown how long this glowing phenomenon will last...

Date carefully measured the location of the glowing sea area, preparing to put away the binoculars, take out the oxygen algae, and dive over to get a clearer picture. However, before it could make a move, it noticed that the brightness of the light was constantly increasing, as if... the luminous object was constantly rising and getting closer and closer to the sea surface.

Yezao instinctively held her breath, her binoculars fixed on that spot.

The next moment, a huge figure burst out of the sea, its body shrouded in a layer of bluish-white light, appearing sacred and solemn, just like a giant rising from the sea.

The giant has a pair of curved horns on its head. From the date palm's perspective, when the giant takes off, the curved horns overlap with the crescent moon hanging in the night sky, as if it were the embodiment of the silver moon.

Moments later, the giant fell back below the surface of the sea, its massive body creating towering waves that caused a torrential downpour in the area.

The light faded, the giant's figure disappeared, and the sea returned to calm, the waves still rising and falling as if nothing had happened.

Only then did Yezao remember that she needed to breathe. She took a deep breath, her heart pounding violently in her chest.

What did it just see?
Its enormous size and sacred, solemn aura made it seem like the presence of a god of the deep sea…

That was definitely an ancient dragon, a super-sized ancient dragon!

Although it was only a fleeting glimpse and I didn't get a clear view of its entirety, I was absolutely certain of it.

As a Palico born in Lokrak, and with Lin Lin as its leader and a friend of Mrs. Mineyama Dragon, Date Palm is quite familiar with Mineyama Dragon. The huge figure that just leaped out of the sea, at first glance, has a body structure that is extremely similar to Mineyama Dragon. With that size and posture, there is absolutely no other possibility.

Date instinctively wanted to inform Lin Lin and the others about the sighting of a super-large ancient dragon in the sea. Based on its intuition, it was very likely that the creature was related to the increasingly severe earthquakes that had been occurring in Moga Village recently.

However, it quickly realized that the boss and the others were in dire need of rest and had only just fallen asleep. Moreover, that guy had disappeared after falling back into the water, and even if it called out to him now, it might not be able to find him.

Thinking this way, the date palm was no longer in a hurry to go back. After pondering for a moment, it took out paper and pen from its backpack, sat directly on the branch, and began to write and draw.

It wanted to record the figure of that mysterious ancient dragon, which might be helpful for the subsequent investigation.

(This is roughly the sketch of the dates; just change the background from a sunset to a starry sky.)
……

Lin Lin was awakened by the violent tremors beneath him.

Opening his eyes and sitting up, Lin Lin was stunned for a moment as he felt his body shaking before realizing that it was an earthquake.

"Ugh, here we go again..."

Ziyuan mumbled a few words in a half-awake state, but the continuous tremors gave her no chance to continue sleeping, so she had to get up in a huff.

The earthquake was so strong that the members of the White Wind Squad, who were lying haphazardly in the camp, woke up one by one and looked around in surprise and doubt.

Only Ziyuan remained quite calm, waving her hand and saying:

"Sigh, you get used to it. There's a tremor every few days in Moga Village, which always disturbs people's sleep. It's really annoying."

"No, something's not quite right..."

Bref frowned, waiting for a long time, feeling the tremors finally subside. He got up, lifted the camp curtain, and looked out at the surging sea. "This tremor lasted significantly longer than before, and did you notice? The waves today were terrifyingly high."

Ziyuan paused for a moment, then followed her out of the camp, gazing at the ever-rising waves. She belatedly realized what was happening, and her expression gradually turned serious.

Now that you mention it... it does seem to make sense!

"When we first arrived here, the earthquakes were just occasional, slight tremors, but as time went on, it seems that both the intensity and the duration of the tremors are increasing..."

As she spoke, she pointed to Moga Village not far away, "Look, that wooden house is half collapsed!"

"If the earthquake intensity continues to increase, it may even trigger a tsunami... At that time, Moga Village will probably be doomed."

Brave patted his cheeks and let out a long breath:

"We must find the cause of the earthquake as soon as possible; we don't have much time left."

Earthquakes, becoming increasingly ferocious... Ah, truly turbulent times, the pressure is immense...

Thankfully, Lin Linye and the others arrived to help; otherwise, he and Ziyuan alone might not have been able to hold on...

Lin Lin stroked his chin, glanced at the surging waves, and pondered what excuse he could use to reveal some information about the Great Sea Dragon.

Or should we apologize to Little Puff again? Use that fabricated "Records of Taiping Customs" as an excuse?

Before he could even speak, he heard a cat meow:
"If it was an earthquake, maybe that guy was behind it, meow!"

Dates squeezed out of the camp tent, sporting dark circles under her eyes, looking like she hadn't slept well.

"That guy? Who is he?"

Yoko asked curiously, "Brave and Shion have been in Moga Village for more than half a year and haven't found anything, so how come Date has only been here for a few days and already has a suspect?"
Then everyone saw the sketch that Yezao had taken out.

"I couldn't sleep last night, so I went out for some fresh air, and I saw that the sea over there was glowing strangely, and there were lots of fish gathering there!"

"Not long after, this guy emerged from under the sea, just like the one I drew, meow!"

"Based on my visual estimation, that guy is at least fifty meters long, maybe even close to sixty meters, meow. It's definitely a super-sized ancient dragon, meow!"

Lin Lin glanced at Yezao with some surprise, not expecting that something like this had happened last night.

However, this is also a good thing. With the clues provided by the date palm, he no longer needs to come up with reasons. He can simply follow the clues from the date palm and fix the horn of the sea dragon, and everything will be fine.

"A super-large ancient dragon..."

All four people present had witnessed Mrs. Mineyama Ryu's enormous figure. With such a powerful physique, causing an earthquake would not be difficult for her. Therefore, they all believed the date's theory.

"Date, do you remember exactly where that guy was last night? I'll go down into the water and scout it out right now."
