Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"boom!"

[Red Wing] slashed at the top of the steel dragon's head again. Just listening to the sound would make you think that it was definitely not a sharp weapon such as a sword, but a huge hammer.

The huge repulsive force made Gordon's hands numb, and Steel Dragon felt even worse.

After all, the hunter's arms are numb, but his brain is numb.

The dragon horn used to control the magnetic field is already crumbling. Perhaps one or two more swords can cut off the shining dragon horn, or break it into pieces.

Steel Dragon naturally realized this.

It raised its head and neck to a height that was beyond the reach of the hunter's sword, but this also exposed its chest.

This was a huge flaw no matter how you looked at it, but Gordon didn't attack immediately.

Although the steel dragon, which had temporarily lost the ability to control wind, was much weaker than before, he did not dare to underestimate an ancient dragon.

Too obvious flaws often mean traps.

He paused his offensive, put his sword forward, and assumed a courageous posture, while carefully observing the dynamics and changes of the steel dragon's muscles and joints.

It rests on all fours, its wings sweep forward, and its body presses back slightly.

"not good!"

Realizing what the Steel Dragon was going to do, Gordon immediately started the Dragon Air Engine, used the thrust to slide horizontally for several meters, and then immediately jumped down.

The Steel Dragon also flew out at the moment he dodged.

The Steel Dragon's body is slender and well-proportioned, but the steel armor covering its entire body puts its weight at the same level as "heavyweight" monsters such as the Boomer Dragon.

However, the flexibility of the two movements is by no means on the same level.

Relying on the push of its powerful limbs and wide wings, the steel dragon gained explosive acceleration in a very short period of time.

Such an attack cannot be blocked at all. Even a heavily armored defender will be crushed into pulp by the weight of hundreds of tons. A seemingly simple pounce action is more dangerous than the dragon chariot of many large monsters. many.

With this pounce, Steel Dragon not only got rid of Gordon's frontal suppression, but also far away from Hayata who was attacking from behind, gaining a short but precious breathing space.

Naturally, the hunters would not let it go so easily and pursued it in a hurry.

The Steel Dragon had already taken the lead, waving its wings and leaping into the air.

Due to the loss of wind control ability caused by poisoning, it was unable to create upward airflow. At this time, Steel Dragon could only rely entirely on the vibration of its wings to obtain lift.

This caused it to flap its wings faster and less lightly, but it did manage to leave the ground and rise slowly.

The rapidly waving dragon wings set off a strong wind that made one stand unsteady.

The hunters moved forward against the wind. Ordinary wind pressure that did not involve dragon attribute energy could not stop their pace. They soon came to the steel dragon that was slowly rising into the air.

Pork Chop, who was chasing after the hunters, had already pulled out a flash bomb, but Gordon raised his hand to stop it.

Whether the flashbang tactic can still be effective after being hit twice in a row is one thing.

The more important reason is that the steel dragon suspended in mid-air is staring at them quietly as when they first met, but the hostility in its eyes has disappeared.

It has no intention of continuing to fight.

The strength shown by the hunters made it fearful, especially after being poisoned, it realized that it had fallen into a disadvantage.

Just like turf battles between large monsters rarely lead to life and death, the loser often chooses to leave on his own initiative.

The Steel Dragon, who has an IQ and knowledge that is not inferior to that of humans, frankly admitted his failure.

The choice is the winner's.

Of course, the hunters can choose to continue the pursuit, but at that time, what they need to face is no longer a steel dragon fighting for dignity and territory, but a ferocious beast struggling to survive and fighting back frantically.

The power of the steel dragon's previous pounce was sobering.

Even if it temporarily loses the ability to control the wind, the ancient dragon is still an ancient dragon. If you want to hunt it, you must be prepared to fight to the death.

Judging from the current situation, there is no need to go all out.

Having made a decision, Gordon made a gesture, and Hayata next to him glanced at him and put away his weapon.

Gordon himself held the big sword upside down with both hands, pointed the [Red Wing] sword head down, and thrust it into the ground, then raised his head and continued to look at the steel dragon.

After a brief silence, the steel dragon exhaled.

Invisible wind swirled up from under it. It flapped its wings vigorously, rode the wind into the sky, and disappeared under the dark night in the blink of an eye.

Such a scene shocked the hunters.

Hayata said with some uncertainty: "Has it regained the ability to control the wind?!"

"It should be partially restored."

Gordon took off his helmet and wiped the sweat from his hair. "It was stalling for time and hiding its clumsiness. If we choose to continue chasing, we may suffer a big loss."

"Sure enough, you can't underestimate Gu Long's intelligence, meow." Pig Chop muttered as he put away the flash bomb.

Xianglan looked curiously at the [Red Wing] sword that Gordon had stuck on the ground, "So why did you stick the sword on the ground?

The head of your sword is not pointed, it looks weird. "

"Um, don't you think this feels more like 'leave, this is my territory'?" Gordon tried to explain his behavior.

Hayata, pork chop, pandan, and Alva who just walked over looked at each other.

"Who do you think understands this?"

"I didn't see it, meow. It's too abstract, meow."

"I just think there's something wrong with you, meow!"

"In fact, from the perspective of a monster, the symbolic meaning of releasing excrement on the spot may be more obvious."

"Are you itchy?"

After this battle, the unusually strong winds and heavy rain never appeared again.

Gordon and his party wandered in the ancient tree forest for a few more days. After confirming that the steel dragon had left the forest, the investigation mission was successfully solved.

Since ancient dragons are involved and battles have taken place, the content of this mission report will be more complicated. Fortunately, Alva, who is the editor, will be responsible for the work of the mission report.

Gordon was relieved.

This is one of the reasons why hunters welcome editors as partners. After all, hunters are all warriors, and how many warriors like to write reports?

Xuanxiao, who was playing with the mixed-race kitten in the fish basket clan's camp, was picked up by them.

They originally wanted to take Xuanxu back to the stars, but Xuanxu was in a hurry to take care of her Fengdiaolong "baby", so they had no choice but to give up.

If you have a chance in the future, let’s visit Xuanxu’s tree house again.

On the fifth day after the mission began, three people and two cats rode a pterosaur and returned to the Star Stronghold.

The first priority is naturally to report the mission status to the commander-in-chief. With the report prepared by Alva, this process becomes easy and enjoyable.

All they had to do was wait for the commander-in-chief to read the report and answer a few questions.

Regarding the Steel Dragon, all aspects of the situation report were clearly stated in the report. He was very satisfied with Gordon's decision to end the war peacefully and had nothing to ask.

When he saw the section about "Light of Life" in the appendix of the report, the commander-in-chief's expression became very serious.

The old man with gray hair but still as tough as a rock put down his report and crossed his arms, "The alcohol team picked up the hair of Yanwanglong in the molten mountain canyon.

Aziz witnessed a huge shadow of unknown identity under the sea in the southeast.

A letter came from the wilderness, saying that some abnormalities were found in the Miasma Valley and they went to investigate.

Coupled with the appearance of the steel dragon in the ancient tree forest, everything proves that the ancient dragons are becoming active, and we have been looking for the source of the unrest, the light of life."

The Commander-in-Chief was deep in thought, and Gordon and the others could not interrupt him, so they waited quietly.

A few minutes passed like this, and the commander-in-chief finally came to his senses, "Sorry, people just like to think too much when they get old.

Thank you for your hard work this time. In addition to the basic reward, I asked them to prepare some additional rewards. I hope you like it. "
