Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1085 Prodigal.

Even if the mission targeting the ancient dragon species is not for combat but is just for investigation, preparations must be made in a targeted manner.

The target this time has been roughly confirmed to be an ancient dragon species with the scientific name Kusharu Daura (Steel Dragon).

This mysterious creature is also known as the "Wind Flying Dragon".

Whether it is in the literature records of scholars or in the discussions and rumors of upper-level hunters, the steel dragon is a symbol of "wind".

In fact, Steel Dragon is not the only ancient dragon that has the ability to control the wind. Gordon knows about two powerful ancient dragons, Tianjin Feng (Lanlong) and Ibushi Makihiko (Wind God Dragon).

But the abilities of the three are quite different.

Lanlong is more inclined to "storm". When it appears, it is often accompanied by not only strong winds, but also clouds and heavy rain.

At present, research on Lanlong is limited. Scholars speculate that Lanlong's creation of storms is related to "water vapor". The warm clouds and mist accompanying it are essentially the breath of extremely high-pressure water columns, and the ability to use rain as a carrier to release dragon-like energy, etc. , all prove this point.

The ecology of the Wind God Dragon is also unclear. Humans know even less about this ancient dragon that only appeared in the Land of Fire. Most of the information comes from ancient legends passed down from generation to generation in Yanhuo Village, as well as the Hundred Dragons Night Parade a few years ago. war.

Its core attack method is not actually "wind" in the conventional sense, but a very powerful cyan blue energy.

This is similar to the female Thunder Dragon. Many of Thunder Dragon's abilities are not shown in the form of "thunder and lightning", but as a kind of golden light.

Compared with these two ancient dragons, whose names have meanings related to "wind", the steel dragon's ability is actually purer.

The highly metalized scales and skin make the steel dragon much heavier than other monsters of the same size.

Even if it has extremely wide wings, it is unlikely that it can fly freely just by relying on the lift provided by flapping its wings.

The latest research shows that the steel dragon releases a powerful magnetic field with its horns as its core through some unknown method, and spreads the magnetic field around through its highly metalized body.

Human beings cannot directly see or perceive this magnetic field with the naked eye. Its external manifestation is almost substantial strong wind and airflow. (MH Physics..)

By manipulating the magnetic field, Steel Dragon can create strong winds from scratch, fly freely, attack opponents and prey, and even form a curtain wall of wind around it that bounces away everything, making it difficult for foreign enemies to approach.

If it cannot break through this wind curtain, it can be said that the steel dragon is invincible. No matter it is a sword or a crossbow, it cannot hurt it or even get close to it.

This is something hunters must consider ahead of time.

Even if frontal combat is not in the plan, there must be means to counterattack in an emergency, otherwise it will be death.

Gordon and Hayata arrive at the processing house.

Considering that this mission is mainly investigation and is not suitable for too many people to act together, and it is too dangerous for one person to face the ancient dragon directly, this investigation mission will be carried out by the two of them.

Alva will accompany them as editor.

Although Alva had emphasized the danger of this operation several times, Alva still showed great interest. In the end, Gordon didn't bother to persuade him. Anyway, this guy's running and hiding abilities were superb, better than those of himself and other high-ranking hunters. Not much of a burden.

The reason why Gordon and the others came to the processing house was to put some windproof beads on their equipment.

This kind of decorative beads has special protection, which can release a special magnetic field around the user and suppress the formation of airflow. (nonsense)

It sounds magical, but this effect is useless in most cases. It belongs to a type of beads with poor practicality. Few hunters specifically inlay these beads on their equipment.

Anyway, the two of them have never used them, let alone collected them specifically. However, after coming to the New World for many years, they have accumulated some. They looked through the box and found three or four.

In today's processing houses, the person in charge of "seating the table" is no longer the leader of the second phase of the group who has a beard and a one-eye patch and looks more like a pirate than a craftsman.

Isana, a water beast girl with a sweet appearance and lively personality, who is very popular among craftsmen groups and hunters, took her place and became the "kansei girl" of the processing house.

The move received critical acclaim.

Seeing Gordon Hayata coming, Isana first said hello with a smile. After listening to the two of them explaining their intentions, she took the decorative beads, pulled down the magnifying glass on her forehead and looked at them carefully.

"They are all beads of relatively ordinary quality. If all these decorative beads are used by one person, they can almost withstand the wind pressure caused by the large flying dragon species when they take off.

After hearing this, the two Gordons looked at each other, which was obviously not enough.

"Is there any other way?" Gordon asked.

"Create targeted equipment?" Isana suggested, "The alloy series is very good. It is heavy and has a streamlined design, which can largely resolve strong winds."

Gordon and Hayata looked at her speechlessly. That's an ancient dragon. Are you going to die wearing an alloy suit?

"cough"

Realizing the problem, Isana coughed slightly to cover up her embarrassment, "Alloy suits are not very good, how about Silver Fire Dragon? Silver Fire Dragon's wind pressure resistance is also very good, and its strength is also top-notch!"

Speaking of this, Isana opened the magnifying glass and blinked, "I heard from the old man that you killed a golden fire dragon two years ago and strengthened the Flying Dragon Sword [Sakura] into the Flying Dragon Sword [Moon]?

Is there anyone with Ga Tou Yin by the way? "

Hayata was helpless: "That's the 'Silver Sun', don't talk like a big wild boar king."

"That reminds me." Gordon pinched his chin, "Isn't the wind pressure resistance of my Black Flame King suit very good? I'll just wear that suit this time."

"You don't have a big problem there. From what Sister Hayata said, it seems that the only thing you can do is protect the stone. I haven't fully understood the stone protection technology in the New World. I'll call the old man."

Isana shouted at the top of her lungs: "Old man! Come out quickly!"

"coming!"

An energetic response came from the forging room inside. Soon, the leader of the second phase group, holding a forging hammer in his hand and wearing an insulating leather jacket, strode out.

The old guy looked at Isana with an unusually kind look.

In the eyes of old craftsmen like them, a little girl who is good at hammering is really lovable.

"Old man, are there any protective stones that can withstand wind pressure?" Isana asked bluntly.

"Resistant to wind pressure?" The old craftsman looked at Gordon and the others and understood.

"To prepare for facing the steel dragon, right, there are naturally wind-proof stones, but if the opponent is a steel dragon, ordinary wind-proof stones may not be enough, and high-level wind-proof stones, in addition to the floating stone as the basic material, In addition to the Sky Dragon Wings and Wing Membranes, we also need some rare materials that are difficult to obtain, such as dragon jade, fire dragon ruby, etc."

"Okay, how many protective stones do you want for the two sets? I will go home and bring them over in a while." Hayata nodded with a relaxed expression.

"."

The two craftsmen, one old and one young, cast strange looks at her.

Gordon smiled dryly and held Hayata's shoulders, "Although we can't use the Fire Dragon series equipment now, the red jade in the box is a waste. It's better to make it into something practical.

But, well, one pair should be enough. We still have those windproof beads, so let’s make one first.

By the way, have you melted down a pair of wind-resistant protective stones before? ? "

"It seems there is such a thing."

Prodigal bitches!

ps. The dragon wind pressure in the angry state has no use at all levels of wind pressure resistance. We are just preparing as much as possible.
