Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Gene, who landed on the lava dragon's back, took a deep breath out of habit.

As a result, I almost choked on the hot air that was poured into my mouth and nose. It felt like drinking a cup of scalding hot water.

The cold drink he had just drank would ensure that he would not suffer from heat stroke in a short period of time, but the discomfort would not be less. Jean adjusted his breathing and ran towards the head of the Molten Dragon with Aiden.

Shortly after they landed on the Lava Dragon, Evelin and Feddy also landed on the back of the Lava Dragon on a pterosaur, and quickly chased after Jean and the others.

The primary goal is to attract the Nergigante's attention so that it has no time to deal with the Molten Dragon, lest the Molten Dragon become violent and cause frequent movements to cause the earth to shake and detonate the bombs in the trap in advance.

The four of them quickly gathered together, and Feidi immediately played inspiring music. After completing the protection for his companions, he began to play some sharp and harsh tunes, trying to attract the attention of the Nergigante.

Aiden and Jean were also shouting at the top of their voices, standing on the shoulders of the Molten Dragon, hoping that this would provoke the Nergigante.

However, the Nergigante dragon that was approaching quickly didn't care about them at all, and its bloodshot one eye stared at the red-hot Molten Dragon.

It comes for revenge.

Compared to the majestic appearance with bulging muscles before, the Nergigante looked much thinner at this time.

Injuries that would be fatal to ordinary large monsters have been basically healed under the influence of the super regenerative power evolved through millions of years of constant fighting.

But during the period of recuperation, it had no time to go out to hunt for food, so it lost a lot of muscle to exchange energy, regenerate body tissues, and heal wounds.

Looking at the much thinner Nergigante, the two Jeans who had fought fiercely with him could not feel happy in their hearts.

Intuition told them that the ferocious ancient dragon in front of them, which was skinny and skinny, but its whole body turned into iron-black color, was even more terrifying than before.

Although he felt a little nervous, Aiden still crouched down, raised the heavy crossbow, and pulled the trigger towards the Nergigante, who was about to attack the Molten Dragon.

The crossbow bullet passed through a space of nearly a hundred meters and landed on the black wings of the Nergigante.

A few clusters of sparks flashed up, and the crossbow bullets were bounced away.

Aiden lowered his head and glanced in disbelief, confirming that he was indeed using a lv3 penetrating magazine.

Although the power of the penetrating bullet cannot be maximized at this distance, it is definitely within the effective range. It actually ricocheted? !

What the hell kind of fleshy thing is this!

He slightly adjusted the muzzle and fired several more shots in succession, but still failed to achieve the desired attack effect.

Of course, this was also due to the fact that the defense team's heavy crossbow was not too powerful, but he was sure that the opponent's scales were not as tough as this during the previous confrontation.

In less than a month, your physical strength has improved to a new level? Is this called evolution? Is this called mutation? !

The hunter's weak attack attracted the attention of the Nergigante, but it did not change its target. After circling in front of the Molten Dragon, it rose into the air and used the iconic dive and impact move.

"Boom——!" Laoshan Dragon was hit and staggered.

When it was time to die, Laoshan Dragon's thinking became chaotic, and then he noticed the arrival of his opponent.

But it didn't react too violently. It roared dullly, lowered its head to protect its vitals, and continued to move forward.

The Nergigante flew in front of the Lava Dragon's head again, using its horns and claws to attack the Lava Dragon's head and chin.

It was difficult for it to break through the protection of the thick rock shell, causing the Lava Dragon to suffer real damage, but it still continued to attack.

Finally, the Molten Dragon, which could no longer hold back, raised its chin. The Nergigante seized the opportunity and immediately rushed to the vital point of the throat under the former's neck with its two claws.

In order to facilitate breathing, the lava dragon's throat was not covered by a thick rock shell. The Nergigante's attack had its effect, leaving several bloody claw marks.

Although compared to the size of Laoshan Dragon, these claw marks were as inconspicuous as those caused by a cat, but the real pain stimulated Laoshan Dragon.

It raised its upper body, and its turbid roar echoed in the Grand Canyon.

The hunters on the back of the Lava Mountain Dragon quickly adjusted their positions and used projectors to help stabilize their bodies, so that they were not thrown off by the Lava Mountain Dragon who stood up.

What everyone was most worried about happened.

Due to the Nergigante's attack, the Molten Dragon became violent.

They are still some distance away from the explosion site, but if they go a few kilometers further and make such a large-scale movement, the explosives in the trap pit will most likely be detonated in advance.

Aiden, the only shooter among the four, stabilized his body and continued to fire.

But the Nergigante didn't even look at them and continued to fight with the Molten Dragon.

"Flash bomb!"

The anxious Evelin suddenly thought of a strategy. She hung the flash bomb on the projector as quickly as possible, and then launched it at the moment when the Nergigante launched another offensive.

"Roar—!" the Nergigante roared.

The flash bomb failed to stun it or make it fall from the air, but the sudden burst of bright light disrupted its sight and interrupted its attack.

It stared at the hunters fiercely, but it still held back its anger and continued to attack the Molten Dragon.

Seeing this, Jean and others also prepared to launch flash bombs. Hunters would carry one or two of these useful props with them.

Evelin quickly stopped them, and there was no point in firing flash bombs at the same time. The number of flash bombs was limited and they had to be used more carefully.

She concentrated the flash bombs of several people, and every time the Nergigante was about to rush towards the Molten Dragon, she fired one to interfere with its movements.

After repeating this two or three times, Nergigante was finally completely angered.

Temporarily suspending the offensive against the Molten Dragon, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky, then swooped down and crashed in front of the hunters.

It needs to deal with these little bugs first.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!!"

Facing the Nergigante unleashing its fury wantonly, the hunters breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt sweat on their foreheads.

The good news is that the Molten Dragon, which was temporarily freed from the harassment of the Nergigante Dragon, calmed down a bit, lay back on the ground again, and slowly moved forward.

The bad news is that this team consists of two auxiliary Kataji and Flute Hunters, as well as two Taishou and Heavy Crossbow users who may not be able to break through their defenses if they lose their equipment and weapons.

There is no serious vanguard, and there are no powerful enough attackers. The temporary team is randomly configured, and I am afraid that it will not be able to defeat the mutated evolution and raging Nergigante.

Evelin gritted her teeth, "I'm here to defend you!"

At least her [Thallium Desire] is the highest level among the four weapons, and it comes with a shield.

"Auntie, are you serious?" Jean pulled out the sword from the defense team behind him, "Leave it to us!"

The veins on Evelin's forehead throbbed, but now was not the time to be entangled in what to call them. The two of them rushed towards the dark beast in front of them.

Evelin, who was a katana sword user, was faster and arrived in front of the Nergigante first. She rolled sideways to avoid the swiping claws, got up and slashed at the crook of the Nergigant's arm with her sword.

The touch from the sword blade made her suspect that she was cutting a piece of steel. She didn't even see blood when the sword struck, but the burst of dragon energy had some effect.

Immediately afterwards, another dragon claw that attacked Evelin's side was blocked by Jean's sword. He used the technique of rigid air blade slashing he learned from Hayatana.

However, his precise defense had not yet been matured, so his posture was broken by the huge force, and he was knocked away with his sword.

Evelin immediately stepped up her offensive, hoping to divert the Nergigante's attention and give her companions time to regain their strength.

But the Nergigante seemed determined to finish off one of them first, roaring violently, and pounced on Jean, who was struggling to get up.

Just when Jean was about to be knocked down, a string of fire struck from a distance, and the huge fireball exploded and pushed the Nergigante back.

"Supernova?!" Aiden looked in the direction of the fire in surprise.

But he soon discovered that the person who opened fire to save the situation was not Ancier as he had guessed, but a heavy crossbowman from the fifth phase regiment.

The female hunter squatting on the ridge more than a hundred meters away with a heavy crossbow muttered sadly, "It took a lot of effort to get this supernova from Senior Ancier, but now it's gone.

I’ll have to ask Jean to buy me a drink later.”

At the same time, more figures appeared on the ridge.

Ps.

It's both a Molten Dragon and a Nergigante, so the four-person rule doesn't apply. There are generally no restrictions on super-large ancient dragons.
