Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

After a chase, Hayata successfully snatched the photo and destroyed it. Angry, she punched Gordon a few more times before letting him go.

Those were some pretty hard punches

But what she didn't realize was that her anger at Gordon's single-handedly challenging the Nergigante was almost dissipated under Gordon's repeated gags.

The upgrade and modification of the projectors will take some time. The hunters left their own projectors and promised to pick them up tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Hayata opened her eyes before dawn and sat up from the bed.

She was particularly interested in the flying claws described by the leader of the second group, which could easily fly onto monsters and ride on them. She could even say that she couldn't wait to do so.

Gordon fumbled and tried to drag her back into the quilt, but she struggled to break free, jumped out of bed, and prepared to complete the required daily swordsmanship training.

Gordon had no choice but to crawl out of bed and muttered, "It is rare that we have solved the 'Light of Life'. The restlessness of the ancient dragons has also subsided. The world is peaceful, just fine."

Hayata, who knew what he was going to say, turned red, "There's no rush for a day or two, we'll talk about it in the evening!"

Gordon sighed with dissatisfaction, put on his shirt, walked to the weapons rack and picked up the heavy training sword.

I had to find another way to vent my energy first.

After more than an hour of daily training, Hayata specially practiced for a while and asked Gordon to take a shower first.

Gordon didn't say anything and took a few minutes to take a quick shower.

After he came out wiping his hair, Hayata walked in with confidence, and then Gordon rubbed his hands and followed.

Who said you can't go into the bathroom again after taking a shower?

When the two of them jogged all the way to the processing house where they agreed to meet, the three of them had been waiting for a while.

Facing the joking looks of the three, Hayata kicked Gordon hard, and Gordon, who looked refreshed, smiled and asked if everyone had eaten.

"What to eat."

Gale smiled playfully and was about to speak in a pornographic tone, but Ancil glared back.

If this guy wants to talk, Gordon Hayata may still be fine, but Feng Ying may have to be shocked for a whole year.

Several people entered the processing room, and their projectors have been modified.

Compared with the original version, today's projectile structure is more complex and heavier. The sharp claw blades of the flying claws are folded together to form the crossbow arm of the projector.

Is this the original structure?

"The specific method of use is similar to the previous hook. This is the mechanism for launching the claw blade." The leader of the second phase of the regiment explained to them carefully.

"One thing that needs special attention is that after replacing the new machine spring, the power of this projector and the speed of rewinding the rope will be greatly improved. Don't get hurt."

Gordon spotted a sturdy-looking humanoid frame and wanted to try it on the spot, but was severely stopped by the old craftsman.

He once again emphasized the power and danger of the flying claw, drove the hunters to the training ground, and warned them that they must be proficient in using it at the training ground before going to the wild for practice.

Seemingly worried, he also sent his young apprentice Isana to follow the hunters to the training ground.

On the one hand, it is to collect data and record opinions, and on the other hand, it is also for supervision.

The hunters who had been warned repeatedly would naturally stop messing around and obediently came to the training ground located in the mountain behind the stronghold.

Nowadays, the number of hunters in the Star Stronghold has increased several times compared to a few years ago, and the training ground has also been expanded in a targeted manner, making it much larger in size.

There is naturally no shortage of hard-working people among the elites who can be selected into the investigation team. Even in the morning, the training ground is still very lively.

They were a little surprised to see Gordon and others coming.

Of course, high-ranking hunters would visit the training grounds on weekdays, but rarely in groups like this. Rather, hunters rarely trained in groups.

The weapons are different, and the training items are completely different. What's the point of getting together?

As the squad leader of the investigation team, Gordon behaved more seriously and steadily in front of his juniors, while Ancil gave people the feeling of being cold and extremely unapproachable.

On the other hand, Feng Ying greeted people all the way, and many people called her "eldest sister," which made her quite proud. She didn't realize that everyone's attitude was more like a mascot.

They came to the training ground, a relatively empty area, where a dilapidated large wooden truck was parked, with large wooden barrels tied to it, piled five or six meters high.

This thing is used to simulate the body of a large monster so that hunters can practice their climbing and riding abilities.

Very few people usually use it.

After all, mounted attacks are too dangerous and require extremely high skills, terrain, timing, etc. The benefits are not great, and not many people are willing to spend a lot of time and energy to master it.

Hayata is a rare exception. Ever since she learned how to attack while traveling with the brigade, she has always loved this.

It’s just that most of the time I don’t have the chance to use it.

"Let's get started! It's just like the previous hook, just aim it and launch it. Which of you will come first?" Isana asked, holding the writing board in one hand and akimbo with the other.

"I'll do it." Hayata, who couldn't wait for a long time, walked to the cart and raised his left hand equipped with a projector.

The flying claws that were originally folded and attached to the left arm unfolded with a clang.

The hunters who were watching made sounds of surprise, and then they noticed that Gordon's projectors were different from the regular ones.

Hayata, who was already very good at using the catapult, barely aimed at it and activated the launching mechanism, and the flying claw shot out with the sound of the machine's spring.

The steel claw landed on the top of the pile of wooden barrels on the wooden cart in the blink of an eye. Different from the simple nailing of the hook lock, the flying claw was like the sharp claw of a flying dragon. The claw blade retracted the moment it hit, and it was locked into it, firmly fixed. Very solid.

Gordon's eyes twitched.

Those wooden barrels were not empty. They were filled with sand and gravel for firmness. This thing could be buckled directly in, and it was much more powerful than he originally expected.

No wonder the leader of the second phase team repeatedly warned them to be careful. Not only will this thing be fired indoors, it will damage walls and equipment. If it accidentally hits someone, it may kill them.

Hayata also looked at the projector on her left arm with some surprise. Her experience was the most direct. She felt obvious recoil at the moment of launch.

If ordinary people use this, they may be knocked back and fall without preparation.

"Next, let's try to retract the rope. Remember to tighten your muscles. The pulling force is very strong and the speed is fast. Be careful." Isana said with a wink.

Hayata nodded, tensed the muscles of his left arm, and activated the mechanism.

A huge pulling force that could almost dislocate a person struck, and Hayata flew up "suddenly!"

If Isana hadn't warned her in advance, her reaction speed was fast enough and she stretched out her hands and feet in time to stabilize her body, and she would have been photographed directly on the pile of large wooden barrels.

The onlookers screamed in surprise.

"Nima's, it's a bit powerful. The rewinding speed is much faster than before!" Gale looked at the flying claws on his projector and marveled.

Anhil also nodded to himself, "This power and speed can indeed be used in actual combat."

Standing on the top of the pile of barrels, Hayata turned around and said to Isana helplessly: "When rewinding the rope, do not reach it all at once. Leave two or three meters at the end and slow down the rewind.

In this way, when the hunter flies up to the monster's body, the grabbing movement can be more free and flexible, and he will not be directly dragged and attached to the monster's body. "

"Oh! That makes sense, let's write it down~!"

Ps.

I may write about softening attacks a little bit, but it won’t be like in the game where you can’t play without softening.
