Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

On the dark forest road of the ancient tree forest, a dark red beast with sharp teeth and claws walked slowly.

That's a barbarian dragon.

This large, ferocious beast-dragon monster is one of the top predators in the ancient tree forest. Even the male fire dragon, who is known as the King of the Sky, has an unpredictable outcome in its battle.

Suddenly, the barbarian jaw dragon stopped.

With its keen sense of smell, it noticed a strange smell. It raised its head, sniffed left and right, and looked around.

"So alert." Gordon said to himself, walked out of the bushes where he was hiding, waved his hand, and said "Hey!" to the Barbarian jaws that turned around to look at him.

Seemingly unable to understand why a creature as small as a human would dare to challenge it, the Barbarian Jaw Dragon was stunned for a moment, and then its anger surged up and it let out a violent roar.

Just as the Barbarian Jaw Dragon's attention was attracted by Gordon, another figure rushed out from the shadows of the trees and came to the Barbarian Jaw Dragon's side in the blink of an eye.

It is Hayata in invisible clothes.

Without stopping, she directly raised the projector on her left arm, aimed at the head of the Barbarian Jaw Dragon, and fired the flying claw.

The steel claw accurately hit the side of the Barbarian jaw dragon's face. The sharp claw blade made of alloy, under the action of the powerful spring, easily pierced the scales and hard skin of the Barbarian jaw dragon's head and neck, and was deeply embedded in the flesh and blood.

Upon seeing this, Hayata immediately activated the mechanism, and the rope quickly retracted. Following the pulling force from her left arm, she jumped up and landed lightly on the side of the Barbarian Jaw Dragon's face.

The frightened Barbarian jaws roared and shook its head, but the flying claws firmly fixed the hunter on the side of its head, making it impossible to get rid of it.

After surviving the monster's reflexive struggle, Hayata grabbed the horny protrusion above the eye socket of the Barbarian jaws with his right hand, and found a point of leverage with his feet to stabilize himself.

He operated the mechanism with his left hand, released the flying claw, pulled it out from the monster's flesh and blood, then waved the flying claw that turned into a claw blade close to the back of his hand, and fiercely grabbed the eyes of the Barbarian Jaw Dragon.

The Barbarian Jaw Dragon closed its eyes subconsciously, and the hunter's claw blade swung with all his strength tore its eyelids, leaving several bloody claw marks near its eye sockets.

The head of the Barbarognathus, which was suddenly hit hard, jerked to the side, causing its body to turn a little, so that its head happened to face a thick tree.

Many people think that the difficulty of mounted attack lies in risking getting on the monster's back, but in fact, that's just the basic part.

The real difficulty lies in how to reasonably attack certain parts, such as orifices, joints, or certain key muscles, tendons, etc., to make the monster feel unbearable pain, so that it can take actions that meet the hunter's expectations.

Such as hitting an obstacle, losing balance and falling, etc.

This part is a bit similar to the secret dragon-controlling skill of Yanhuo Village, except that the dragon-controlling skill requires the use of flying insect silk, while the mounted attack only relies on the hunter's hands and feet and a peeling knife.

Hayata is one of the few hunters who is good at this. Moreover, in addition to the knife, she now has flying claws and another secret weapon.

At the moment when the head of the Barbarian jaw was aimed at the big tree, she put the projector against the side of the Barbarian jaw dragon's head close to the ear socket, and then pulled the trigger hard.

"Fire all bombs!"

With a muffled sound of "Bang!", the stones loaded on the catapult were launched at zero distance. Under the action of the powerful machine spring and gunpowder (the full bomb will explode), it exerted a powerful power that was not inferior to that of the Hunter's Crossbow. .

More importantly, it was close enough and fired directly against the vital organs of the Barbarian Jaw Dragon. The Barbarian Jaw Dragon howled in pain, subconsciously stepped forward, and then hit the thick trunk of the big tree.

"Hoooooooooo!"

The big tree collapsed, and the Barbarognathus, which almost had its head smashed, fell to the ground, struggling and howling in a daze.

Hayata used the recoil of the full bullet launch to fly away from the Barbarian Jaw Dragon, turned over, jumped back, and landed firmly on the ground.

This was the best time to attack, but the two of them did not draw their weapons. They had no idea about the Barbarian Jaw Dragon, which was knocked to the ground and howled miserably.

I just used this unfortunate guy to practice flying claws and riding skills.

"It's almost time. Let's finish training today, right?"

"Um."

The two blew their whistles, and the Acid Pterosaur hovering in the air swooped down, leading the hunters away from the primitive jungle that echoed the roar of the giant beast.

It was already evening when we returned to Star Stronghold.

When the two came to the restaurant Maoshan Pavilion, Anxier had already ordered dinner and was waiting for them, while Feng Ying, encouraged by Gale, ate in secret.

Ancil glared at these two rude guys, then turned to Gordon and the others, "How was the practice?"

"It's good. Hayata successfully made a Barbarian jaw crash into a tree. It seems that the collision was not light. The riding attack technique using flying claws can be applied in actual combat." Gordon said with a smile.

Ansir gave Hayata a thumbs up, and then glared at Feng Ying angrily, "You are from Yanhuo Village, why can't you master such a practical secret as the Dragon Control Technique?"

Feng Ying, who was secretly eating grilled fish, shivered and got stuck on a fish bone. She coughed for a long time to get it out.

He muttered a little aggrievedly, "Ni Tai and the others always complained about this when we were in Yanhuo Village. Why do we still have to say that we are not good at it when we come to the New World?"

I'm not the only one who can't use the dragon-controlling skills well. Don't you think Sister Huoya Shuiyun is the same? This is called family inheritance! "

Looking at Feng Ying who was unsure and strong, Gordon also sighed.

Speaking of things, compared to mounted attacks, the dragon-control stunt is obviously more flexible and maneuverable.

Of course, the threshold is much higher.

It would be wrong to say that Feng Ying is not good at controlling dragons at all, but she is really not good at this kind of multi-tasking and delicate work.

Not to mention that like Lie Yan, who can precisely control the monster to perform various actions and even breathe, she can't even make the monster run in a straight line. She looks even uglier than the fire sprout and water cloud when she controls the dragon.

When she first came to the New World, Ancier let her try it, but after her powerful and miraculous operation almost turned Hayata and Gale into widows, they did not dare to let her use this trick again.

"Forget it, you should just use your Flying Insect Super Solution." Anxier was too lazy to say anything more about this guy.

I originally thought that Feng Ying had the basics of using flying insects and dragons, so it would be easy to master the flying claws and riding attacks. However, when this guy tried his moves with the big ferocious jackal dragon in the arena, he directly sent himself into the monster's mouth.

scare other people

It can only be said that this guy really has no talent in "riding".

As for Gordon, he is only slightly better than her. The main problem is that Gordon is too big, his armor and weapons are too heavy, and his movements on monsters are very inflexible.

Ancier performed well, but it was unreasonable to let him, a heavy crossbowman who was good at long-distance sniping, be responsible for riding.

Therefore, in the more than half a month after getting the Flying Claw, Hayata is the only one in the team who has truly mastered the flying claw riding technique.

Gayle also performed well.

They also found three recovering alcoholics from the alcohol team to try. Ted's performance was the same as Gordon's, and it was difficult to look directly at him. Urshula adapted very quickly, and Maka's performance was not inferior to Haya's. tower.

Although there are not many samples, it is impossible to make a conclusion, but Gordon feels that this technique of riding with flying claws should be more suitable for dual-sword wielders. The insect stick makes these people agile and well-balanced, and can fly around in the air. Someone who doesn't get confused easily.

But that kind of full-bomb launch with extremely strong recoil gave him some other ideas.

Ps.

I plan to set the flying claw riding to have a relatively high threshold for adaptation. Not everyone is good at it. For example, Gordon is not suitable to become a face crawler.

It’s enough for one person in a team to be a face-crawler. It’s too weird to have face-crawlers taking turns.
