Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

After a brief confrontation, the Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon suddenly turned sideways, and the muscles of its limbs exerted force at the same time.

The huge frost-white body was wrapped in snow powder, pushed away the air, and suddenly crashed forward.

Damn it!

Similar sideways collisions are used by most large monsters. They are powerful but have obvious precursors. Generally, hunters with experience points can easily avoid them.

But the iron mountain support of this Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon is different.

There is almost no visible preparation movement, and the speed is surprisingly fast.

The previous two battle experiences made this old dragon with an extremely keen sense of battle clearly realize that dealing with small hunters is different from dealing with large monsters of the same size.

The power of the attack comes second, speed and timing are the real keys.

However, its opponent is also an experienced and exaggerated old hunter.

Veteran hunters will predict the monster's attack movements by reading their muscles, but old guys like sword masters don't need to observe and judge.

Relying on the so-called "intuition", you can guess the monster's next move.

He even took advantage of the opportunity to step forward and thrust out a sword. At the moment when the Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon launched the Iron Mountain Support, he turned around and retreated.

There is no gap in the forward and backward movements between the two, it is almost like dancing.

Not only did the attack fail, but the Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon, which was also hit by a sword, jumped back with a low roar, opening a multi-body distance.

It does not have an advantage in close combat with a hunter that is more agile. Keeping a certain distance is more conducive to its performance.

The huge mouth opened, and a burst of extremely cold air wrapped around the flying snowflakes in the air and spurted out.

The sword master immediately slid sideways and avoided with the smallest movement.

The freezing air blew across the ground, leaving a trail of frost covered with fine ice edges.

Sword masters know that these seemingly inconspicuous ice edges will stick to the legs and feet, restricting movement, and avoid them with caution.

The frost breath paused, but did not stop.

The Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon deflected its head, and another blast of freezing air spurted out.

Two untouchable frost paths formed a fan shape, sandwiching the sword master in the middle, severely restricting his movement space to both sides.

"I see."

The old hunter who realized the purpose of the Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon did not appear to be panic. He drew his sword on the spot and prepared to return home.

"Roar!"

The Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon jumped up with a brisk little jump.

The body of more than 20 meters long rushed towards the hunter like a hill.

At the moment when the Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon took off, the sword master unsheathed his sharp sword and stepped forward with his sword.

The timing of Iai's slash this time seemed to be too early, and it didn't look like he could hit the target.

But his purpose was not to attack.

Taking advantage of the inertia of swinging the sword, the swordsman master slid forward more than ten meters and successfully avoided the attack of the Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon.

The hunter and the dragon, who had switched places, turned around at the same time.

The Ice-toothed Dragon was about to repeat its old trick and pounce again. The swordsman was one step ahead of it and thrust out his sword before it took off. The fire-wrapped tachi hit the Ice-toothed Dragon right in the face.

The air blade stabs.

The moment it was about to jump up, it was attacked, and the Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon's movements paused and became chaotic for a moment.

Naturally, the swordsman master would not let go of this flaw, taking advantage of the situation to jump up and slash down with his sword.

Climb the dragon sword and cut with the air blade!

The blazing flames exploded along with the sword energy, cutting a several-meter-long wound from the Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon's head to the side of its neck, and blood spurted out.

The flesh and blood were torn apart, and the wounds became scorched black under the high temperature. The severe pain caused the Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon to lean back reflexively, and almost fell down.

At the last moment, it tried its best to spread its limbs and finally stabilized its center of gravity.

"Roar-a-aa-!!"

The Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon roared angrily, swung its head sideways, and swept its long knife-like frost teeth towards the hunter.

The master of swordsmanship did not intend to make a direct attack, but retreated backwards.

The Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon was in hot pursuit, swinging its body left and right, and attacking the hunter with its frosty tusks.

"Cha——."

During the continuous retreat, the sword master's heels inevitably stepped on the frost on the ground that had not completely melted.

The spreading frost froze his legs.

In this case, the Kikiri and Iai Slashes that he is best at cannot be used, and he cannot even roll.

Seeing the pair of frost teeth attacking again.

At this time, he swung his sword towards the frost under his feet. The dragon flames wrapped around the sword could melt away the frost and let his feet be free again. But by then, it was too late to roll over or cut.

He raised his sword to block.

Of course he can also perform precise defensive sword skills like the Qi Blade Slash, but he doesn't know if he can handle it with his old bones.

There is no time to hesitate, the attack will come in the next second.

The sword master suddenly swung his sword downwards, and the fiery blade swept across the ground, melting the frost and freeing his legs.

Then, he made an action that he would never have thought of before - raising his left arm and launching his flying claw.

The distance between the flying grab and the target was close enough that even though the sword master almost never used this item, he still successfully hit the target.

It's just that the aim was not ideal. The old hunter aimed at the head, but his flying grasp hit the carapace on the Icetooth Dragon's shoulder.

The machine spring retracted rapidly, and in the old hunter's exclamation, it pulled him up and almost hit him head-on.

Fortunately, his reaction speed did not deteriorate too much. Although his movements were a bit awkward, he finally reached out his hands and feet in time and attached himself to the Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon's body.

The Frost Blade Ice Tooth Dragon roared and threw its body, trying to throw him down.

The swordsman tried his best to hold on tightly.

At this time, the two old guys were competing to see who had worse physical strength.

The swordsman won.

In order to swing the frost teeth, the Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon swung its body continuously and greatly, which consumed a lot of physical strength. It was a bit difficult to recover in one breath, so it had to stop and gasp to recover.

The swordsman took this opportunity to release the flying claw, climbed along the neck and jumped to the side of the Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon's head.

He pressed the sword against the wound that the air blade cut had cut before, pressed the hilt with both hands, and pulled it down hard.

This sword seemed to have cut an artery somewhere in the neck of the Ice Fang Dragon, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

The swordsman jumped to the ground, and the soft snow was not easy to exert force. He staggered two steps before he stood firm.

In just a few seconds, the spurting blood had already wet the pale hair of the Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon, and even the snow on the ground was dyed red.

"Roar!!!"

The Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon howled, and extremely cold air surged from its body. Frost quickly grew between its hair and shell.

It seemed to want to freeze the wound in this way to stop the bleeding.

Unfortunately, it was not an ordinary wound. Under the influence of arterial blood pressure and blood temperature, the freezing effect was not ideal.

The frost covering the wound on the neck kept melting and freezing again. The gushing blood flow became smaller, but it continued to flow.

This way of stopping bleeding will also cause its core temperature to continue to drop.

If it goes on like this, even with the size of the Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon, it will not be able to hold on for too long. At most half an hour, it will lose its ability to move due to blood loss and hypothermia.

"It seems that I won this game."

While muttering this, the swordsmanship master did not dare to relax his vigilance.

He raised the sword again and faced his opponent.

The Frost Blade Ice Fang Dragon turned to him again. As the sun completely set, the light-fearing ice blue dragon pupils opened completely.

Contained in it was endless anger and madness.

The swordsman adjusted his breathing, lowered his center of gravity, and prepared to respond to the attack.

The dying beast was the most dangerous, and this guy wanted to drag him down with him.
