Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Maka's choice was correct. The tightly closed eyes were the most vulnerable part of the mysterious ancient dragon.

Even though the stones fired by the projectile were limited in power and failed to penetrate the eyelids of the mysterious ancient dragon, they were enough to make it feel pain and make some reflexive reactions.

"Gah!"

With a sharp hiss, the mysterious ancient dragon suddenly straightened its body and hit a rock wall not far away.

Its shock attack can easily destroy the mountain, but in terms of physical strength, it can only be called "average" among creatures of the same size.

Among the ancient dragon species, it can only be ranked at the bottom, not much better than the "baby" like the Dark Lantern Dragon.

Without the protection of the rock armor and clay layer, the damage caused by this collision to it was much more serious than before.

The mysterious ancient dragon staggered and fell backwards to the ground.

The numbing air column sweep was finally interrupted, and the hunters who fled in panic breathed a sigh of relief.

Gene, who escaped the disaster, said a lot of "flattering words" with high content of sand, and Makatide accepted the compliment with a smile.

Feng Ying was a little envious. If she said these things, she would definitely be punished later.

Facing the mysterious ancient dragon struggling on the ground, Gordon and others were about to launch a strong attack, but they heard the signal from Anshil.

They immediately put away their weapons and turned around and ran.

The long-awaited heavy crossbowmen rushed into the battlefield. After sliding and standing still, they raised the muzzle high and pressed the Lv3 diffusion bomb as thick as an arm into the crossbow chamber with almost completely synchronized movements.

There were two people whose action patterns were different.

Anshil and Gale rushed directly to the front of the mysterious ancient dragon. They did not raise the muzzle like other heavy crossbowmen, but held the heavy crossbow horizontally in a standard posture.

Their heavy crossbows were loaded with huge magazines of armor-piercing grenades.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The two fired synchronously, and three consecutive cannon shots overlapped, and six Lv3 armor-piercing grenades were all nailed into the head of the mysterious ancient dragon in the blink of an eye.

For the other heavy crossbowmen, the roar of the heavy crossbow [Famine] firing was also the signal for them to pull the trigger.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The three Molten Mountain Dragon heavy crossbows roared at the same time, and the Lv3 diffusion bombs with a charge of "kilograms" rushed into the air.

They disintegrated in the fall, spreading into countless fist-sized bullets, covering the body of the mysterious ancient dragon like a rainstorm.

The red lotus exploded, and the armor-piercing grenades on the head of the mysterious ancient dragon were detonated together.

"Boom boom boom."

The continuous explosions echoed on this isolated island in the sea, which was the roar from humans.

After one round of attack, the heavy crossbowmen changed their ammunition at the fastest speed, followed by the second and third rounds.

The Fanghounds and Hunting Cats ran over to replenish their ammunition.

After a short pause of several seconds, the continuous bombing came again.

Ansel, who was always calm in battle, rarely showed a fanatical smile on his face.

This is the most efficient and destructive bombing process they have summarized through countless actual combat tests.

The four Molten Mountain Dragon Heavy Crossbows of the Diffusion Heavy Crossbow Team, plus Ansel's Karma Heavy Crossbow [Famine], a total of five Diffusion Heavy Crossbows, can fire fifteen Lv3 diffusion bombs in a very short time.

Such firepower delivery capabilities are enough to kill a large flying dragon in an instant.

But if the opponent is replaced by an ancient dragon, this bombing method is not suitable.

It is wishful thinking to want to kill an ancient dragon in one round of attack, so we have to find a way to attack more rounds.

For archers, the best way is to use armor-piercing grenades to bombard the target's head, causing it to be dizzy and prolonging its stiffness or falling time.

As for arranging a few heavy crossbows to bomb with diffusion bombs and a few heavy crossbows to lock the head with armor-piercing grenades, it is not easy to draw a conclusion on this ratio, after all, different monsters have different tolerances to explosions.

However, in the battle to block the Misty Corpse Dragon, repeatedly suppress it, and drive it back to the Misty Valley, Ansir came to a general conclusion.

Three people fight diffusion and two people fight armor-piercing grenades, which is relatively appropriate.

There are naturally differences between the Misty Corpse Dragon and the mysterious ancient dragon in front of him, but since they are both ancient dragons, it should be more appropriate to follow this set of procedures.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.

After the first wave of bombing, the mysterious ancient dragon showed signs of struggling to get up, thanks to the dizziness caused by the armor-piercing grenades, which shook it back to lie down.

Then came the second wave, the third wave, and the fourth wave.

It was not until the fourth wave of attacks ended that the mysterious ancient dragon managed to stand up again, waving its wings frantically, roaring and interrupting the archers' offensive, forcing them to retreat.

During this process, a total of thirty-six Lv3 diffusion bombs and twenty-four Lv3 armor-piercing grenades fell on the mysterious ancient dragon.

Its bright skin with gold and powder was blown into a bloody mess, all burnt black.

Pork Chop also took the opportunity to throw several slime bombs, and Oshura, the only light crossbowman on the scene, fired more than one cardinal ice bomb in a rapid-fire manner.

The wings used by the mysterious ancient dragon to release shock attacks received extra "care" under Ansir's special instructions.

Of the eight vine-like tentacles, one was blown off at the root, another was blown away for most of the time, and the rest were all injured.

Looking at the embarrassed mysterious ancient dragon, Gordon smacked his lips, feeling a little complicated.

These swordsmen have been fighting to the death, and the combined attack effects are not as good as the concentrated fire bombings of the heavy crossbow team.

Is this the power that comes from repeated training and a high degree of collectivization?

The explosive destructive power of the great sword will definitely not be weaker than that of the heavy crossbow. Is it possible for a whole team of great swordsmen to actually lock their heads together?

Well, this is just random thinking.

Not to mention how to cultivate the tacit understanding of "our minds are united", unified movements in close combat and unified firing at long distances are two completely different concepts.

Four swordsmen crowded in front of the monster's head. When these four swords were swung together, the entire team would probably lose at least a few arms and legs.

Putting aside those nonsensical thoughts, Gordon yelled: "Shooters, retreat immediately!

Everyone else spread out! Everyone cheered up, this guy was probably going crazy! "

"Guaaaaaaaaaaa-!"

As Gordon expected, the severely injured mysterious ancient dragon screamed furiously.

It landed on all fours, claws digging into the ground to stabilize its limbs, and its wing limbs, which were covered with wounds but were still mostly intact, began to swing.

"That move again! Avoid!"

The criss-crossing air columns came again.

Except for the tentacle that was blown off by Qi Gen and could no longer release a concussive air column, the other tentacles were not significantly affected.

The transparent air pillars were like seven invisible giant swords, slashing in all directions and plowing countless twisted ravines on the ground.

The hunters fled in embarrassment again. To them, the disorderly shooting of seven air pillars was really not much different from the eight before.

"Take cover!" Anhir yelled.

There are many stone cliffs and stone pillars standing around. They appear to be very fragile before the mysterious ancient dragon's air pillar attacks, but at least they can block the attack slightly and provide the hunters with a moment of shelter.

After a flurry of wolves and pigs running around, the mysterious ancient dragon's chaotic shooting finally came to an end.

During this attack, many people were injured due to the aftermath and scattered gravel, but at last there was no attrition. Anhil breathed a sigh of relief.

"The personnel are too crowded! The heavy crossbow team retreats to the stone forest!" Anhil put away the weapons, waved his hands and said loudly: "Waiting for the next attack."

As he was about to speak, a sense of threat came over him that made the hair on his body stand on end.

Without enough time to judge the type and direction of the attack, he flew out with all his strength, but it was still a moment too late.

A pillar of air shot out without warning and blew him away.
