Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 497 Lieyan is not mute

From Lieyan's bouncing walking posture and rich expressions when she is happy, it can be seen that this girl's personality is not considered introverted.

But she rarely spoke, and Gordon even thought she was mute.

She seems to be more willing to communicate and express her emotions by nodding and shaking her head, exaggerated expressions, and simple gestures. Only when she really can't express herself clearly, will a few words pop out of her mouth.

Just like now, when Gordon asked her if she had any target monsters and if she knew where to find them.

Lieyan shook his head vigorously.

She pointed to the sky, crossed her arms in a gesture, and shrugged.

Gordon's head was filled with questions.

Lieyan gestured for a while, during which he even imitated several monster movements with bared teeth and claws, making Gordon even more confused.

There was no other way, so Lie Yan had no choice but to say, "I didn't bring it with me, Fumu Rabbit."

Gordon: "."

Well, the hunter in Yanhuo Village has an old problem. She was also like this when she first met Feng Ying. Without the help of Fumu Rabbit and Fang Hound, her tracking ability was completely poor.

"I want to practice dragon control." A few more words popped out of Lieyan's mouth.

Gordon suddenly realized, "So the monsters you just imitated are the types that you are more confident about successfully using Dragon Control?"

"Yeah!" Lie Yan nodded vigorously, and began to imitate the movements of those monsters with "oow!" and "chirp!"

Gordon looked at her helplessly. Although this child's behavior was quite cute, it was really difficult to communicate with her.

"Let me guess, this sneaky thing is meant to tickle birds?"

"Yeah!" Lie Yan nodded.

"This big boar king with a big belly?"

"Hmm——." Lieyan shook his head.

Gordon felt a little numb, "Why don't you just tell me."

Lieyan pursed his lips, "Tickling Bird, Sickle Weasel Dragon King, Umbrella Bird, Green Bear Beast, Kappa Frog."

Several of these monsters seem to be unique species to the Land of Fire. Gordon has only seen them in illustrated books, so he can only say that he has a basic understanding of them.

"The umbrella bird and the kappa frog seem to be three-star dangerous monsters. Are you confident about dealing with them?" Gordon asked curiously.

Lieyan shook his head sheepishly, "No, I'm not sure, but I want to give it a try."

Gordon saw through Lie Yan's little plan, and this was obviously not a peaceful child.

It is estimated that Ni Tai did not allow her to go to the three-star monster to cause trouble. Now that the leader of the team was temporarily changed, she wanted to take the opportunity to give it a try.

Gordon didn't mind being "used" like this.

It makes no difference to him whether it is a two-star or a three-star monster, and boys and girls at this age cannot be too strict, otherwise they will rebel on the spot and show you.

After all, he also came from this age.

"I remember saying that the dragon-controlling skill in Yanhuo Village requires fighting to force the monster to reveal its flaws, so that it can be performed more smoothly, right?"

"Yeah." Lie Yan nodded.

"Your weapons and armor are barely enough to deal with two-star monsters, but they are too dangerous to deal with three-star monsters. Let's do this, if we encounter a three-star monster, I will deal with it while you wait for the opportunity to control the dragon.

But you only have one chance, no matter what the outcome is, you must retreat immediately after finishing Yulong."

"Yeah yeah!!" Lieyan nodded crazily.

"Okay, let's start looking for traces. I'll take a look at whichever end I find. Huh?

Come and take a look at this shrub. From the direction in which the branches are broken, you can roughly judge the direction the monster is traveling, and the freshness of the branches can help judge the time, this way."

In the flat and wide water with gentle water potential and a depth as deep as knee-deep, a giant green bear walked slowly.

This giant bear, covered in thick fur and bone armor and over four meters long, is an invincible opponent in the eyes of ordinary people.

But from the perspective of Gordon, who had hunted the Red-Pocketed Green Bear Beast not long ago, this guy in front of him was quite petite and cute.

Next to Gordon, the flames hiding behind the dense roots of an aquatic tree with him could not hide the disappointment in their eyes.

Why is it Green Bearmon again?

Gordon gave her a funny look, raised his chin and pointed to a place in the distance, where the water was deeper.

There is a large, moss-covered, greasy rock that has completely turned into yellow-green. Countless water plants are floating in the clear water around the rock.

Lie Yan was confused and looked carefully at the big rocks in the water. He felt something was wrong. He looked at them a few more times and almost jumped up.

"Ugh!"

Gordon quickly pressed her neck and pushed her back.

He was making a whoosh, and he was almost exposed.

After being stuffed back into the trees, Lie Yan's eyes shone brightly. She looked at Gordon expectantly and whispered: "Kappa Frog!"

"Um."

Gordon knew what Lie Yan was expecting. He was sure of it, but he didn't rush out immediately. Instead, he smiled and said, "Wait and see."

Lieyan held back his temper and followed Gordon to observe secretly.

The green bear beast, which knew nothing about it, was slowly walking towards the deeper part of the water, where the "big rocks" were - there were many fish there.

The distance between the two got closer and closer. When they reached less than ten meters, Green Bearmon, who had very average eyesight, finally noticed something strange.

It stopped vigilantly, but it was too late.

"Caw!"

The fat amphibious monster, which looked like a combination of a frog, a crocodile and a turtle, let out a strange cry, removed its disguise, and jumped up.

It is not small in size, with a total length of more than eight meters from head to tail. Even excluding the tail, it is about six meters long. Its trunk is extremely strong, or rather fat.

The arrogant posture of squatting on its hind legs with its chest and belly raised reminded Gordon of another large monster that was only common in the Old World.

Peach-haired Beast King.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the Kappa Frog, Green Bearmon was startled, but did not immediately turn around and run away.

Instead, the same person stood up, spread his arms wide, and roared to intimidate the other party.

The Kappa Frog was enraged and slapped its huge belly, which even accounted for one-third of its weight, a few times. It raised its two hind legs one after another and stomped down, causing water to splash in all directions.

Gordon observed this scene with interest.

It is said that there is a wrestling sport called "sumo" in the Western Continent, and many of its movements are imitated from kappa frogs.

"Roar!"

The green bear beast, stimulated by the loud noise of treading water, took the lead in charging.

It roared and rushed forward, swung its front paws, and clawed at the fat belly of the kappa frog, intending to disembowel it.

However, the toughness of the leather on the Kappa frog's abdomen far exceeded its expectations. Even a full claw strike only left a few white marks, and the force of the impact was absorbed by the thick fat.

The Kappa Frog nonchalantly pushed its belly and knocked the Green Bear Beast back.

The Green Bear was hit and rolled around in the shallow water. Unsatisfied, it pounced again, only to be staggered by the Kappa Frog's meaty forelimbs.

Immediately afterwards, Kappa Frog spread its arms, hugged the Green Bear Beast, and then suddenly opened its large flat mouth that was slightly similar to Marutori, intending to stuff the Blue Bear Beast into its mouth.

Can this be swallowed?! Gordon opened his mouth.

After all, Kappa Frog overestimated the size of its mouth, or maybe it was inserted at the wrong angle. Green Bearmon's head was stuffed in, but its broad back was stuck firmly in its mouth.

As the Green Bear struggled wildly, the choked Kappa Frog was very reluctant, but had no choice but to spit it out.

The green bear that fell to the ground was so frightened that it ran away without looking back.

The kappa frog was bulky and had no choice but to stop after two steps with its belly bulging out.

"interesting."

Gordon suddenly laughed, pulled down his visor, and walked out from behind the aquatic trees where he was hiding.

The sudden violent, even slightly crazy temperament startled Lieyan. She wanted to remind Gordon that they were not on a mission to hunt kappa frogs this time.

Don't mess around!

Unfortunately, she was not used to talking, so she could only say "Abba, Ababa" twice in desperation.

"Don't worry." Gordon said as he walked forward and turned his head sideways.

"I don't use weapons."
