Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The shooting position selected by Anshir was only more than 20 meters away from Gordon and the general scythe, which was closer than when hunting alone in the past, and it was far from the effective range of more than 50 meters with the upper heavy crossbow.

He felt that since Gordon was willing to trust him unconditionally and hand over the back to himself, he must not disappoint the other party's trust.

Considering factors such as the flight time of the crossbow and the direction of the wind, there was a slight chance of missing a support shot above 30 meters, but within 30 meters, he was 100% sure!

Anshir's shooting speed was not fast, but very rhythmic - he was attacking in conjunction with Gordon's sword swing frequency.

Whenever Gordon swung his sword past, a crossbow bomb would strike at the point where his momentum was exhausted.

In this way, there is no need to worry about Gordon being accidentally injured due to changes in sword moves, and it can cooperate with the big sword to form a continuous offensive.

Soon, the general sickle crab had several new wounds.

The effect of the electric shock bomb was slightly worse than what Anshir expected.

The thunder attribute attack is indeed effective against the general sickle crab, but it is far from the level of outstanding effect. After two consecutive magazines, there is no obvious change in the movement of the general sickle crab.

But Anshir does not appear disappointed. As a shooter, he is not impatient. As long as the damage continues to accumulate, there will always be a moment of qualitative change.

With the support and shooting of his companions, Gordon, who was carrying the general's scythe attack head-on, felt a lot easier.

He clearly felt that the combo of the general's sickle crab was not as smooth as before. Even the crustaceans felt pain. It was impossible to face the continuous attacks of the crossbow bullets and remain completely indifferent.

Just when Gordon was about to play more aggressively and began to attack the general's left foot, the latter finally became furious.

The general sickle crab that lacks red blood cells in the blood will not have obvious changes in appearance when angry like many large monsters, such as reddened skin, bloodshot eyes and so on.

But it has significantly improved in terms of speed of action and agility.

With a retracted foot and limbs, while avoiding Gordon's vertical slash, the slender and sharp claws were raised high.

The general sickle looked like he was demonstrating. Although he didn't know what this guy wanted to do, out of caution, Gordon immediately put away his big sword and started to retreat.

In the distance, Anshir's firing speed also suddenly accelerated, and the successive crossbow shells almost formed a line.

Before, it took an average of three to four seconds to fire one bullet, but now, within a few seconds of the General Sickle Crab's demonstrative action, he emptied the entire magazine.

Gordon's choice of retreating early is undoubtedly wise.

I saw the general sickle crab spread its claws, and its legs moved at a dizzying speed. The huge body turned into a whirlwind, turning around in less than a second, and the sharp sickle claws It even created a perfect arc of light in the air.

Faced with this 360-degree indiscriminate attack, Gordon couldn't help swallowing secretly.

Fortunately, he was not greedy for knives, so he withdrew from the attack range first. Otherwise, in the face of an attack of this speed, rolling and dodging would be a life gamble. If he moved a little bit sooner or later, he would be cut off in the middle.

The sweep failed, and the general sickle crab didn't intend to let go of Gordon, and immediately chased after him.

It didn't go straight forward, but turned sideways and ran out of an arc. Perhaps because of the special structure of its legs, the general sickle crab running in an arc is much faster than walking straight.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it circled behind Gordon, which was the position between Gordon and Anshir.

If it was any other kind of monster, Anshir would be overjoyed, it was like sending the best shot to the muzzle of his ballista, just firing at will.

But this guy, like the closely related shield crab, belongs to the hermit crab class. The huge dragon skull on the back is its best shield, and most crossbow bullets are completely painless.

In desperation, Anshir had no choice but to temporarily put away the ore crystal nova, and began to move, looking for a new shooting position.

However, the general sickle crab also learned to be smart. It gave up the double-claw combo attack method, and began to move around Gordon continuously, stabbing a bad knife from time to time, which shocked the latter into a cold sweat.

Facing the general sickle crabs that were constantly circling around, Anshir, who was in the outermost circle, was still unable to find a suitable shooting position - no matter where he went, this guy would move his feet to adjust his position, and then put the dragon skull on his back against him. to myself.

The rattling dragon skull seemed to be laughing at something.

A blue vein popped up on the forehead of Anshir who was provoked, he sneered, replaced the bullet magazine for the ballista, and said loudly: "Gordon! Just pay attention to self-protection, I will find a way! "

Gordon, who was reminded by Anshir, was no longer obsessed with attacking the general's sickle crab's legs. He slightly retracted the explosive knife and focused on defending against the general's sickle crab's sudden attack, dealing with it patiently.

On the other side, Anshir lowered his body, set up the scope, and started the sniper mode.

Under the high-power scope, the lines on the carapace of the general's sickle crab became clearly visible. He slowed down his breathing and suppressed his heartbeat, and everything around him seemed to become quiet and slow.

After aiming for more than ten seconds, Anshir finally caught the moment.

The general sickle crab swinging its sickle claw inevitably turned its lower body slightly, exposing one foot to the outside of the defense range of the dragon skull carapace.

The ore crystal nova spewed out flames from the muzzle, and the piercing projectile shot out with an extremely fast trajectory, piercing through the still-moving foot joints with astonishing accuracy.

Dirty green body fluids splashed all over the place, the punctured leg drooped down, the movement of the general sickle crab obviously faltered, and the center of gravity also began to shift to the left.

"Hey." Anshir snorted in satisfaction.

He couldn't remember how long he hadn't started the sniper mode in battle.

In the past, when hunting alone, only the first shot before being discovered by a monster can be slowly aimed and sniped, and after that, there are only endless and tiresome close-range shooting and maneuvering.

After putting the target on the front sight again, and aiming for a period of time, Anshir fired again, and once again successfully penetrated a leg of the general sickle crab.

So far, more than half of the limbs of the general sickle crab have been damaged, and its movements have visibly slowed down to the naked eye.

Now, even Gordon, who was in the fierce battle, couldn't help shouting and praising: "Ha! Well done, young master, let's shoot a few more shots and see how this guy is still running around!"

The corner of Anshir's mouth curled up.

Compared with the forced close combat, I really like the feeling of calm sniping.

The general sickle crab, whose feet and limbs have been severely injured one after another, finally realized clearly who is the enemy that threatens it the most.

It crossed its claws in front of its body, blocking the big sword in Gordon's hand, and at the same time bent its legs and began to charge.

Upon seeing this, Gordon immediately called out to warn, "Ansir! It is going to turn towards you, be careful to avoid it!"

Anshir put away the ore crystal nova without hesitation. He stood up, ready to run or roll to dodge at any time.

The next second, the general scythe moved.

All the limbs including the sickle claws, even the broken limbs, exert force at the same time.

The huge body weighing tons reached a high speed in an instant, and with the single horn of the dragon skull on the back as the angle of attack, it rumbled towards Anshir in the distance.

Gordon, who was left in place, stared.

The "dragon chariot" of the general sickle crab turned out to be backwards?
