Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

In terms of offensive protection, the defense team set is naturally not comparable to the high-level armor made of ancient dragon-level monster materials.

But no one can deny that this is a very good "turtle shell".

Aiden and Maka have similar ideas. For the sake of life, they have to give up some offensive advantages.

He even plans to add a shield to his heavy crossbow.

Such a decision is very supported by Hayata and others. Facing an ancient dragon whose information is still in the fog, it is always right to be cautious.

In terms of the choice of weapons and ammunition, Ted and Fengying naturally don't need to consider it. They are the type who use one weapon to fight all monsters.

It's just that Fengying has to put down her [Imperial Gold Shield Axe·Ice] temporarily. Just from the name of the weapon, it can be seen that this thing is not suitable for dealing with the Ice Curse Dragon.

Maka chose to continue using the Piercing Gun. Recently, she has been using this weapon very well. The insect stick makes them fly and hide, and the feel of the weapon is particularly important.

Hayata hesitated for a long time between the dragon attribute dragon sword [Red Lotus] and the fire attribute flying dragon sword [Black Yao].

In the end, the latter was chosen.

Dragon attribute energy is more effective against most types of ancient dragons, but some ancient dragons have inexplicably high resistance to dragon attribute energy.

On the contrary, monsters that use frost energy are afraid of fire, and this seems to be without exception.

As for the two shooters, Aiden plans to carry a large number of flame bombs, with conventional ammunition such as armor-piercing grenades, shotguns, and penetrating bullets.

His usual Molten Mountain Dragon heavy crossbow is also quite versatile.

Oshura originally planned to use the "Mud Fish Dragon Bullet Crossbow" that can quickly fire water-cooled bullets, but to be honest, this light crossbow has no advantages except for rapid-fire water-cooled bullets, and its power is also average.

But she remembered that Gale told her that the leader of the second phase group added ice fish dragon materials to the "Mud Fish Dragon Bullet Crossbow" and developed a new type of light crossbow called "Ice Fish Dragon Launcher".

That light crossbow can not only quickly fire water-cooled bullets, but also rapid-fire ice bullets. Its performance in all aspects has been improved by more than one level. It is a weapon to deal with the broken dragon.

I'm just worried that it might be too late.

After hearing her thoughts and concerns, everyone advised her to go to the Everfrost immediately. The airship happened to be in Xingchen, and if everything goes well, she could be back within a week.

At present, the whereabouts of the Ice Curse Dragon have not been completely locked down, so there is still some time.

To deal with a monster of the level of the Critical Broken Dragon, whether it is weapons and equipment or will and confidence, there must be no "makeshift" at all, and all aspects of preparation must be done to the best.

With determination, Oshura hurriedly left the table and reported the matter to the commander-in-chief.

Under the coordination of the commander-in-chief, the airship modified the itinerary, set off one day earlier, and took Oshura to the Everfrost.

Two days later, the Yuechen base.

"Hunting the Ice Fish Dragon?"

After listening to Oshura, who came from Xingchen, roughly explaining the cause of the incident and her plan to hunt the Ice Fish Dragon to strengthen the weapon, Gordon pondered for two seconds and nodded.

"You can send the mudfish dragon crossbow to the processing house first, and let the leader of the second phase group and others do the preliminary processing. By the way, ask clearly what materials are needed for strengthening.

As for the icefish dragon, I remember there is another one nearby, but"

"But what?"

"Sister Oshura"

"How many times have I told you not to call me sister!"

"Okay, Senior Oshura, I remember your luck has always been bad." Gordon touched his nose, "If you need some rare materials, you may not be able to collect them all in one hunt."

"What the hell do you mean? The matter of the two hairs of the peach-haired beast king has been laughed at by you for more than ten years!" Oshura, who was a little anxious, was furious.

"Ahem, that's not what I meant." Gordon, who did have some teasing thoughts in mind, smiled a little guilty.

Oshura crossed his arms and stared at him.

"Okay, okay, actually I have a suggestion. Do you have any secret medicine or similar gadgets of high value?

If you are missing any key materials, maybe you can go to the camp of the beast tribe and trade with them.

Those little guys have hunted countless ice dragons, so they should have all kinds of materials in stock."

Oshura's face was slightly relieved, "I see, thank you!"

After that, he hurried to the processing house.

After thinking about it, Gordon found Pork Chop and asked it to accompany Oshura.

Otherwise, the beast tribe may not be willing to trade when they see a new face they don't know.

After arranging Oshura's affairs, Gordon unfolded the letter and report brought by the former and read them carefully.

I heard Oshura talk about the two critical dragons and the ice dragon before, but of course it was not as detailed as the commander-in-chief's letter and the report of the Ecological Research Institute.

"Ice Curse Dragon and Critical Crusher Dragon? Well, the commander-in-chief believes that the individuals in the New and Old Worlds are different, and advocates changing the name of 'Critical Crusher Dragon' to 'Explosive Crusher Dragon'?

What a powerful name, the commander-in-chief really loves to name monsters as always." Gordon chuckled and continued reading.

After learning about the amazing size and danger of the Explosive Crusher Dragon, Gordon finally understood why Osura rushed to Yuechen in a hurry, just to strengthen his weapons.

"Body length is nearly 30 meters, super strong desire to attack, extremely tough shell mixed with metal minerals, and powerful and highly active slime mold."

Just from these words in the report, he could feel a sense of danger coming at him.

Apart from the ability to affect the sky and cause natural disasters on a large scale, this guy's strength is probably quite bad among ancient dragon-level creatures.

The New World is such a "vibrant" place.

Who knows one day a powerful big guy will emerge from some corner.

And that ice curse dragon.

Three seven-star hunters should have no problem protecting themselves against a regular-sized ancient dragon, but it's a pity that neither he nor Ansil can get away.

The biggest worry is the lack of intelligence. The first encounter with any kind of ancient dragon is extremely dangerous.

I just hope that the ice curse dragon doesn't have any unexpected means.

The only thing to be thankful for is that after the battle of Behemoth, Hayata broke through the bottleneck and his strength has improved.

Now he should have reached the standard of an eight-star hunter, but the guild has not yet sent the promotion documents.

Fengying's strength has been improving, and Aiden is also reassuring.

There shouldn't be any problem.

Trying to suppress his worries, Gordon focused on the matter at hand.

Last night, the swordsman returned.

Should we say that it is worthy of the veteran to come out? Not only was he not injured, but he also brought back accurate information about the Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon and the Kirin.

The Kirin is still wandering in the glacier area and has no signs of moving south. This is undoubtedly good news.

But the Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon

Maybe it was affected by the "singing" or it may be scared by the Kirin. That guy left the frozen canyon where he originally lived and invaded the snow forest area.

The current activity area is less than 20 kilometers away from the Yuechen stronghold, which is already a very dangerous distance for large monsters.

The leader of the third phase group believes that the invasion of the Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon will not only threaten the Yuechen stronghold, but also affect the ecological environment of the snow forest area. It is recommended to drive it away or hunt it.

Gordon approved this matter.

The current question is, who will go?

Ordinary four or five-star hunters are definitely not enough. In Gordon's opinion, there is no problem in giving the Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon a seven-star danger level.

Gene's injury has not healed yet, and we can't drag him out of the bed.

Oshura? She has more important things to do, and to be honest, her strength is not enough.

Then only myself and the swordsmanship master are left.

"Sure enough, let the swordsmanship master stay in Yuechen for me, and I will go and kill that guy myself?" Gordon said to himself.

"No."

Gordon was startled by the sudden sound in the tent.

He turned around and found that the swordsmanship master was sitting on a large wooden barrel next to the stove with his arms folded across his chest, like an armor decoration, and the whole person did not emit a trace of movement and breath.
