Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

After the rest, the group took action.

The first step in combat planning is reconnaissance.

Xianglan has the most important task. She needs to move covertly in the canyon to find individual wind drifting dragons with obvious traces of frost on their bodies, and mark them to help hunters identify hunting targets in advance.

Pandan was a little scared at first and reluctant.

But when Gale said something like, "When it comes to covert investigation, you are the best!" "Pork Chops can't compare to you!" "You are the leader of the covert team, the direct disciple of Master Dongfeng! A mere Feng Piaolong can't find you. !”, it got lost under the saturated praise.

He left the cave with confidence.

Others acted together. They wanted to confirm the terrain in the cave and find other exits as a retreat.

Otherwise, being blocked in the canyon by a group of wind drifting dragons is no joke.

The group of people went deep into the cave, and the scenery inside the cave was unexpectedly beautiful.

Ice edges accumulated over thousands of years have piled up into giant pillars with strange shapes, making the depths of the cave as gorgeous as a crystal palace.

An underground glacial lake was frozen by the low temperature of winter. The ice tens of centimeters thick was smooth and pure, like a mirror. The cold-water fish species swimming at the bottom of the lake were still clearly visible.

Alva held up a portable camera and kept taking pictures. After finishing his own film, he asked Hayata and others to use it.

If the timing hadn't been right, he would have stopped and sketched.

As the team continued to deepen, forks in the road began to appear.

At this time, the guide insects began to react. They flew out of the insect cage and landed on the ground, marking a mark that seemed to be scratched by the thorns on the tail of the Ice Tooth Dragon.

The hunters completed the collection of trace samples, and the guide insects who had extracted enough information gathered into a light path and started navigation on their own initiative.

The light path leads to the passage leading underground.

Hayata thought for a while and arranged for Gale to leave the team and let her follow the guidance of the guide insect to confirm the location and situation of the ice-toothed dragon.

He took Xuanxu and Alva with him and continued to look for the exit.

After nearly an hour of exploration, Hayata and the others finally got a rough idea of ​​the cave and found the locations of the other two exits.

One of the exits is not in a good location and still leads into the frozen canyon.

The other is an open-air opening on the top of the cave.

Without any help, even an insect stick user would have a hard time leaving this open-air opening that is eight or nine meters above the ground.

But they were lucky and found several wedge worms attached to the rock wall near the opening.

Hayata tried it, using these wedge insects as fixed points, and then using the projector hooks to perform three-dimensional maneuvers, and he could pass through the open opening smoothly.

The outside of the opening leads to the mountainside. Be careful when the time comes and use the mountain as cover. By climbing over the ridge, you can successfully leave the frozen canyon and stay away from the territory of the Wind Drifting Dragons.

After confirming the evacuation route, the three of Hayata returned to the agreed-upon meeting point in the cave and met Gale who had been waiting here.

"How's it going? Have you found the Ice-toothed Dragon?" Hayata drank a bottle of hot drink and asked after exhaling the cold breath.

"Found it!" Gale gave a thumbs up, "Not a few hundred meters after going down that passage, there is the lair of the Ice-toothed Dragon.

What can I say? The body is indeed large, the length from head to tail should be close to 25 meters, but judging from the damage to the carapace scales and the fullness of the muscles, it is an old guy.

The pair of saber teeth were also badly worn, with half of one side broken off.

When I sneaked into the nest, it was still sleeping soundly. "

After hearing Gale's description, Hayata did not feel relaxed.

Nature is very cruel, and monsters that are truly too old and weak to move will soon be eliminated and extinct.

Predation and territory competition may kill them.

Large monsters that are old but not too old to survive are often very dangerous.

Even though their physical strength is slightly inferior to that of young and strong individuals, their huge size honed over time, richer combat experience, and some unique combat skills make them the most dangerous hunters.

Typical examples, red strange dragon, green water dragon

"Try not to disturb it. Choose the battlefield far away from the ice-toothed dragon's lair." Hayata said.

Gale nodded, "I thought so too. When I left, I smashed two capture tranquilizer bombs on the side of its head, hoping to make it sleep deeper."

Alva reminded from the side, "If the monster has sufficient physical strength and normal metabolic function, the capture of tranquilizer bombs will have no effect."

Gale shrugged indifferently, "Anesthetic bombs are not valuable, so it's good to have a little effect."

"Hey, I don't seem to have seen Xianglan. Is it okay?" Xuanxuan reminded him from the side.

Hayata frowned slightly, "It did take a while."

"Okay, it's an Eluru. It can run through the ground when it encounters danger. What can the Wind Drifter do to it?" Gale also drank a bottle of hot drink and moved his body, which was slightly stiff due to the cold.

At this moment, Gale suddenly raised his head.

Sandstone also shook its long ears with tufts, and said with a smile: "As soon as I mentioned it, it came, meow, and it seems that it also brought a gift, meow."

The cave was quiet enough, and soon Hayata and the others heard the noise.

"Help! Life! Meow——"

It was Xianglan's scream, the howl of the dragon's wings, and the sharp neigh of the monster.

"Protect Alva, Gale, let's go up to him." Hayata quickly gave the order.

Gale nodded, pulled the magazine belt to a convenient position, and rushed towards the direction of the sound with Hayata.

Xianglan rushed out from a corner of a passage, and when she saw Hayata and the others running towards them, she immediately cheered.

He turned around and said viciously to the monster chasing after him, "Wait a minute, meow! Meow!" and then ran towards the hunters on all fours.

Xianglan ran away at an astonishing speed, sneaking behind Hayata, jumping on her feet and saying: "I brought the guy with the most frost on his body, meow!

If you kill it, you will definitely find Baoyu Meow! "

Gale stopped, picked up the Fire Dragon Light Crossbow "Fire Dragon Destroyer Cannon", and joked: "Are you sure you weren't exposed and then chased all the way?"

"Jiiya——!"

A sharp neighing sound was heard, and a huge dark blue shadow folded its wings and nimbly passed through the relatively narrow passage area and came to the hunters.

Its light yellow pupils stared warily at the hunters who suddenly appeared. It spread its wings wide and biting cold air hit its face.

He looked at the visitor's slender body, which was a full circle larger than the ordinary Fengdiao dragon, as well as the frost that had condensed on the opponent's chest, wing membranes, and under the tail, turning into fine ice spines.

Hayata narrowed her eyes, her vigilance raised to the highest level.

This guy is no ordinary Feng Piaolong.

Gale smacked his lips and loaded the fire bomb, "Tsk, don't tell me, this guy really looks like he can dig up gems. Did you directly attract the leader of the Fengdiao Dragon Clan?"

"Oh, I'm not wrong, meow! I bypassed the warnings of other wind-drifting dragons, and finally managed to lure the leader of the wind-drifting dragon here alone, meow!"

Everyone could see Pandan's guilty conscience, but this did not prevent it from bringing the best prey.

The sharp blade was slowly unsheathed.

Blazing dragon flames rose from the dark red sword of Fei Long Dao [Black Radiance]. Hayata swung the blade to vibrate the sword and split the oncoming freezing air.

"Quick victory."

Ps.

What appears here is the Frost-winged Wind-Drifting Dragon. Because it appeared a little earlier than in the game plot, it has not yet been named "Frost-Winged Wind-Drifting Dragon", so it is called the Wind-Drifting Dragon.
