Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Facing the violent Broken Dragon that jumped back and opened a distance of more than ten meters, Ted immediately stopped attacking and had no intention of charging in pursuit.

Different monsters have different ways to deal with them. If it is a monster like the Ice Dragon that is good at breathing from a distance, it should naturally try to get as close as possible.

But against the Explosive Broken Dragon, which is good at close combat, there is no point in charging forward.

The former's purpose of widening the distance most likely has only one purpose - to prepare for the next attack.

Ted seized this opportunity and loaded a special-shaped and extremely thick Longhang bomb into the barrel of the gun. He then re-erected the large shield and prepared to attack.

Sure enough, after a short period of gathering momentum, the Explosive Broken Dragon roared towards him.

At the moment when the Explosive Broken Dragon took off, Ted jumped in sync and put a little distance away.

Don't underestimate the distance of two to three meters. Compared with facing the fierce dragon crushing head-on, the defensive pressure will be much less.

It is true that he is a typical heavily armored defender, but that does not mean that he will just stand there stupidly and hold up his shield.

The violently explosive Shattering Dragon's hundreds-ton body fell to the ground, and the layers of volcanic rock on the surface shattered.

Seeing his opponent retreating, he let out an angry roar and knocked his head down, smashing the hammer-shaped horn on top of his head.

This time Ted did not hide anymore. He tightened his muscles and prepared to resist the impact. He slightly bent his legs and hid behind the large shield. He put his shoulders against the shield and entered a defensive posture.

"boom!"

The sound of the big horn hitting the shield was heartbreaking, and Ted felt as if a mountain was pressing down on the shield.

He gritted his teeth and locked his joints, and his hardened muscles bulged, almost bursting the armor.

This headbutt was simply heavier than the dragon chariot of many large monsters.

The astonishing impact could not be fully resolved, so he had to jump back a step to relieve his force. He finally maintained his balance and successfully prevented the blow.

"**strong enough!"

Jumping sideways to avoid the subsequent bite of the violent dragon, Ted cursed and lifted his shield, and stabbed out the blunderbuss under his left arm.

The tip of the gun was inserted into the side of the head of the violent dragon, and he pulled the trigger hard.

"Taste my uncle's cannon!"

Amidst the dull explosion, the special Longhang bullet that he had just pressed into the barrel of the gun blasted out.

Unlike the ordinary Longhang artillery studs that are "only" as thick as an arm, this Longhang bullet is as thick as an adult's thigh.

Under the strong thrust of the primer explosion, this complex cone-shaped shell penetrated deeply into the carapace gap on the side of the dragon's neck.

The projectile then bounced away, and the barbs on the branches stuck it firmly in the wound.

This is a new type of Longhang bomb developed by the processing house in recent months, and the craftsmen named it "Detonating Longhang".

It sounds like a stupid, big and thick person.

However, its actual effect was not as direct as the name suggested. The detonating dragon bomb, which exuded red hot light, was stuck in the wound of the violent blasting dragon and did not explode immediately.

As Ted continued to launch a small cycle of shelling, stabbing, and jumping back, the role of the detonating Longhang bomb really came into play.

When the blunderbuss shells covered it, the hot core at the center of the detonating Longhang bomb was like a nail repeatedly hammered, drilling into the depth of the wound bit by bit.

Different from the "robust" impression given by the blunderbuss and the blunderbuss user, this thing is quite sinister.

One can imagine the pain of having a red-hot steel nail driven into his neck. The Explosive Broken Dragon roared violently, its scarlet eyes locked on Ted who caused all this.

This is exactly what Ted, as a vanguard, wants to see. The monster's attention is stable so that his companions can attack freely.

Through repeated attempts, Maka roughly confirmed the meat quality of various parts of the violent dragon's body.

Except for the head, which has a relatively weak carapace, the entire body of the Explosive Broken Dragon is quite hard.

This was despite the Ice Dragon's attack and the explosion of the critical slime mold, which had already exploded and shattered many parts of the carapace.

Otherwise, it would be a big trouble for them to break through this layer of carapace, which is tens of centimeters thick.

In the end, Maka chose the tail of the Violent Shattering Dragon as the main attack point.

In order to make it easier to swing the huge tail mallet, the tail of the Fierce Shattering Dragon is not covered by a large carapace and has many gaps.

Although it still feels like "smashing the ground" when you hit it with a bug stick, at least it won't flick the knife.

Oshura can be said to be the most comfortable one.

The Explosive Shatter Dragon is huge, and even if it fires rapidly while moving, it is almost impossible to miss.

Moreover, one of the two companions is at the head and the other at the tail. The shooting area left in the middle is quite clean and they can fire at will.

Not long after the war started, a base number of ice bombs and water-cooled bombs had been fired.

If she carried the amount of ammunition she was used to, it would be time to worry about saving ammunition.

But this time

The ammunition boxes unloaded from Amber's body were piled not far away, and even with full firepower, they could last for a while.

Even if all the ammunition here is used up, you can still summon the pterosaurs back to the camp, where more are stocked.

She had never fought such a rich battle.

"I'm going to explode!"

Under the siege of three people, the already seriously injured Explosive Broken Dragon not only had no intention of retreating, but instead became more and more violent.

It roared and turned its body, forcing the two swordsmen around it to retreat. Then it shook off its sticky tongue and licked the arms where the slime mold was most concentrated, as well as the big horn above its head.

Stimulated by active enzymes rich in saliva, the few remaining ancient slime molds proliferated rapidly again.

"Untie your mother!"

Feng Ying roared and slashed down the giant axe, and the scorching ax blade surrounded by high-energy electric clusters fell towards the ice dragon.

The Ice Dragon was struggling to deal with Hayata's onslaught from another direction. It noticed the attack coming from its own side and was aware of the power of the attack, so it did not dare to take it head-on.

Lowering his head and taking two air blade cuts, the Ice Dragon barely managed to get rid of Hayata's entanglement, shrinking back and forcing him back.

Feng Ying's ax struck the ground empty.

However, the strange thing is that the force of the giant ax striking the ground was not as powerful as she shouted, and the ax blade penetrated the ground very shallowly.

Like, no effort at all.

"I lied to you!"

Feng Ying, who really had no strength left, continued to scream.

What he did just now was not a super solution at all, but a jumping technique called "axe jumping".

With the lever of the ax handle, Feng Ying jumped up, and then used the traction of the flying insect to fly to a higher position, reaching the top of the retreating Ice Dragon.

"Super! Solution!"

The real transcendental solution hit the Ice Dragon's head, causing its high head to sink suddenly.

The energy accumulated in the bottle burst out continuously along the former's back, shattering large pieces of scales.

"Hey——!"

The Ice Dragon staggered after suffering a heavy blow, hissing in pain.

After completing the air release, Feng Ying jumped to the ground, wielding her giant ax and forced herself in front of the ice dragon, and continued to attack.

Hayata's expression was a little subtle.

She knew that Feng Ying's random shouting of move names was something she learned from Lie Yan.

First, yell and pretend to use a powerful attack, and then use the real killer move while the opponent is avoiding the attack.

It is of no use against slow-reacting monsters, but it has been tried and tested to deceive monsters with alert temperaments and fast reaction speeds.

Realizing that he had been fooled, the Ice Dragon was extremely angry, and his attention returned to Feng Ying.

Upon seeing this, Hayata raised the corner of his mouth, quickly put away his weapon, and circled behind the ice dragon.

After taking off the pressure of the main vanguard, she was finally able to prepare some more powerful sword moves.
