Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

When the people in the base received a warning that a monster was about to attack.

Although they were nervous, they did not panic.

Everyone's idea was very simple.

Even if the monster that attacked was an ancient dragon, there were several high-level hunters left in the base, and with the defense facilities, they could always repel the attackers.

After all, the investigation team repelled or even killed ancient dragons more than once or twice.

In the eyes of the members of the New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Team, the ancient dragons were not natural disasters that could not be defeated by human power, nor were they gods. At best, they were just some extremely powerful monsters.

However, when they saw the scene of a large number of flying dragons swarming in, the emotion of fear still inevitably grew among the crowd.

Even the experienced hunters couldn't help but hold their breath, and their hearts beat wildly.

The hunters who could join the investigation team were all elite without exception, and no one lacked experience in hunting flying dragons.

If it was one or two flying dragons, there was no need for the high-level hunters to take action. Any elite team could solve the problem steadily.

If there are three or five of them, it would be scary, after all, large dragons rarely live in groups.

It is rare to hunt male and female dragons at the same time, and most hunters probably have no experience in dealing with more than two large dragons at the same time.

However, arranging several teams to cooperate with each other, dispersing the opponents, and defeating them one by one is still within the scope of handling.

However, just a rough glance can confirm that there are nearly 20 large dragons hovering over the base, and they may swarm down at any time.

Not to mention that I have experienced it, even in nightmares, it has never appeared.

The number of wind dragons has exceeded the total number of hunters in the Yuechen base at this time. Even in the most ideal situation, one person can't deal with one.

Not to mention, wind dragons are famous for cooperation.

There doesn't need to be too many. When two wind dragons take turns to wield frost wind, exhale cold air, and spirally collide and attack, even the upper hunters will inevitably feel a headache.

What to do?

This simple yet complex question emerged in everyone's mind.

"Boom!"

Someone pulled the gun rope, and the roar of the artillery broke the dead silence in the battle street.

The shells whistled and bombarded the distant mountain, and the bursting flames startled the wind dragons in the air and made bursts of piercing screams.

Everyone looked over involuntarily.

The one who fired the cannon was the sword master, and he shouted: "Don't panic! Monsters are not an army, they won't rush in!

Absolutely can't attack alone! Fight around the artillery and crossbows in small teams!"

As a high-ranking shooter, Gale naturally took over the responsibility of commanding heavy weapons. She waved her arms and shouted, "Load the crossbow with restraint bullets!

The continuous artillery shells are full, don't rush to fire, wait for the opportunity!"

The uneasiness in the hearts of the people cannot be dispelled by a few words to boost morale. The instructions of the sword master and Gale at least told them what to do next.

To be able to become hunters, everyone's psychological quality will not be bad. Whether it is panic or any other emotions, they are temporarily thrown aside, and the hunters act quickly.

The swordsman's guess was correct.

The group of wind dragons did not come here with a clear purpose such as hunting or fighting for territory. They were just driven here by the ice dragon.

The mysterious singing that spread with the wind made them manic, and the voices and fire in the Moon Star stronghold further stimulated them, causing them to enter a state similar to stress.

A wind dragon finally couldn't help it, screamed and dived down, rushing towards the hunters gathered in the battle street.

Gale grabbed a heavy crossbow that had just been loaded with restraint bullets, estimated the dive route of the wind dragon, and pulled the trigger after a slight aim.

Amid the humming sound of the steel crossbow, the crossbow arrow connected to the steel cable, as thick as a short spear, turned into a blurred afterimage and flew into the air.

The heavy crossbow that must rely on a mechanical winch to wind up is much more powerful than the crossbow used by the hunters.

The pure steel crossbow arrow covered with huge barbs easily broke through the defense of the flying dragon's scales and accurately pierced the side of the wind dragon.

"Ji Ya!"

The wind dragon, which was suddenly hit hard, screamed in pain, subconsciously spread its wings, changed to a diving posture, and flew in the air more than ten meters above the ground.

"Buzz--"

The buzzing sound of the crossbow sounded again, and another archer activated the heavy crossbow, and another restraint bomb drilled into the wing root of the wind dragon.

"Get down!" Gene roared and activated the mechanism.

The steam-driven winch rotated rapidly, and the mechanical power could even control the super-giant ancient dragon for a moment. In the face of this pulling force, the wind dragon, which was not known for its strength, had almost no strength to resist.

It lost its balance in an instant and was dragged to the ground by the steel cable.

"Aim!" Gale raised his arm high.

The two heavy artillery pieces were loaded with the help of the swordsmen. The archer in charge of the operation loudly commanded them to push the gun body to adjust the angle.

The muzzle was aimed at the wind dragon that was firmly bound to the ground.

"Fire!" Gale waved his hand vigorously.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The rapid-fire artillery used by the investigation team can load five high-explosive howitzer shells weighing dozens of kilograms at a time, and two fully loaded artillery pieces can load ten shells.

This weapon was designed to defend fortresses and deal with difficult opponents such as ancient dragons. It was obviously too powerful to use it to bombard a wind dragon.

Especially at such a close distance of only 30 meters, for direct-fire artillery, this distance is almost the same as being right at the muzzle.

The continuous explosions drowned out the screams of the poor wind dragon. When the smoke cleared, the wind dragon that launched the attack first had turned into a pile of broken bones, and the scattered blood dyed the snow on the ground red.

Gene raised his fist high and roared and cheered with the hunters, but Gale's face remained solemn.

This was just the first one.

"Don't waste time! Hurry up and reload!"

The fire, the loud noise, the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the fishy smell of the same kind of blood, all seriously stimulated the group of wind dragons hovering in the air.

The emotion of fear is not only felt by humans. Many wind dragons were obviously shaken and were about to flee in all directions.

In the snow forest not far away, a cry with obvious warning meaning came out.

Hayata, who had not moved since the wind dragon group appeared, quietly felt the movement around him, suddenly opened his eyes, took a step, and rushed towards the snow forest where the cry came from.

The swordsmanship master's reaction was not slower than hers, but his legs were not as flexible as those of the young man, so he lagged behind by half a beat.

Their real enemy was there.

——Ice Curse Dragon, only by solving this culprit can the crisis be truly resolved.

In the sky, due to the deterrence of the Ice Curse Dragon, they were driven and chased all the way. Nearly ten wind dragons were cruelly killed. The fear had already penetrated into their bones, and they didn't even dare to run away.

With the addition of the two evils, the wind dragons, which were already in an extremely manic state, could no longer care about anything else. In the chaotic and crazy roar, they swooped down in groups.

The Moon Star Defense War officially broke out.
