Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Giant blue and green birds wandering in the forest.

As a bird dragon species with a low upper limit, the ecological niche of the poisonous demon bird can only be considered in the middle level, and its strength is simply not comparable to that of large tooth dragons, beast dragons, and flying dragons.

But they have no real natural enemies.

Very few monsters would actively provoke them. These weird-looking creatures possess the most developed poison sacs among all known bird-dragon monsters.

A mouthful of purple venom would be too much for even a flying dragon.

The toxin may not be strong enough to kill them directly, but it can definitely make them suffer and weaken them for a long time.

This is almost fatal in the extremely competitive wild world, so it is naturally avoided.

At the same time, they are also predators that bully the weak and fear the strong.

The presence of venom makes them almost never miss when facing small and medium-sized monsters.

All of this makes the life of poisonous demon birds in the wild quite prosperous, and they are widely distributed. They can even be found in distant places of fire.

"Gah——?"

Seeing the tiny bipedal creature walking in front of him, which was only as tall as his thighs, the poisonous demon bird tilted its head.

"Ji Ga——!"

It screamed joyfully and spread its wings. The emerald green feathers that looked like the camouflage of the dense forest unfolded, revealing the colorful horny skin underneath, which was so gorgeous that it was eye-catching.

When encountering dangerous large monsters, they are cautious and shrink their bodies, eager to blend in with the forest. They are so low-key that they don't look like poisonous creatures at all.

When facing small creatures, they will become extremely arrogant, eager to make themselves more colorful and conspicuous.

"You're such an easy-to-understand guy." Gordon pulled out his sword and put it into a charging position.

The long, slimy tongue filled with venom was swallowing in the flat and wide beak. Just as it was about to launch an attack, a flying claw hooked onto the side of its face first.

Hayata flew up, inserted the sword into the gap between the scales and feathers on the monster's head, and pulled it down hard.

In front of the sharp ice blade that can cut through the ancient dragon's scales, the poisonous demon bird's colorful gelatinous skin is as soft as a piece of paper.

Under the extremely cold air, the scattered blood turned into dark red ice, and the huge wound almost tore its head in half. The poisonous demon bird convulsed and stood up, letting out bursts of miserable howls.

It had realized something was wrong and was about to flap its wings and take off to escape.

Gordon in front of it has completed charging.

Originally, he wanted to chop the poisonous bird's head directly, but it suddenly raised its head, and this sword could only chop the chest.

It doesn't matter, almost.

What a powerful attack!

The golden giant blade tore open the flesh and chopped the sternum. The heavy force carried by the sword directly turned the poisonous demon bird over and fell to the ground, howling and struggling.

Gordon was about to shoulder the sword again and bring the battle to an end.

Feng Ying ran over with a shield and a sword, "I'll finish it, I'll finish it! Let me open the red shield first!"

Gordon shrugged, shook off the blood on the blade, and put away the sword.

"The first one, then the female fire dragon, right?"

"It is said that the poisonous monster bird will show its arrogant side when facing an opponent that is weaker than itself. Sure enough"

Alva muttered to himself, stood up from the bush where he was hiding, and looked away from the bloody scene behind Gordon.

"Well, that's right, you guys solved it a bit quickly, and most of your time was wasted on the road.

We may change the approach. The density of large monsters in the Guiding Lands is high, and food resources may be relatively scarce.

Let's wait here for a while and try. The smell of blood and the screams of the poisonous demon bird may attract the large monsters around us. "

"good!"

In the past, after they finished hunting, they would skin it as soon as possible to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other monsters.

Who would have thought that there would be a day when these things would be used?

In order to save ammunition, Anhil, who didn't fire a single shot during the whole process, came over.

"Maybe we can set a trap."

Anhil glanced at the dying poisonous demon bird and said, "This way, no matter whether it is a female fire dragon or something else, we can quickly knock it down and improve the hunting efficiency.

As long as it's not a monster like the Tyrannosaurus, there shouldn't be a chance to stand up again. "

Gordon rubbed his unshaven chin, "We don't carry many traps with us, so use them sparingly. It would be a waste if we set the traps but nothing is attracted.

Pork chop, pandan, and get two insect cages. "

"Good meow."

"I know, nya~."

Gordon smiled and said to Ancil: "There are a lot of shining winged insects in this forest, which are renewable resources.

As for the traps and traps, they have to be sent from the Star Stronghold when they are used up. Save as much as you can. "

"OK."

After Feng Ying opened the red shield and filled the bottle, the poisonous demon bird finally died.

Under Gordon's instructions, they made several more cuts on the body of the poisonous demon bird and cut open its stomach.

The bloody smell in the forest suddenly became stronger.

Alva's method worked, and not long after, the roar of the air flow stirred up by dragon wings could be heard in the sky covered by the tree canopy.

hidden.

Gordon signaled to his companions.

Alva retreated back into his bush, and several others found cover to hide.

The roar of the air became heavier and heavier, and a giant green shadow covered in thorns fell from the gap between the tree crowns, its broad wings waving rhythmically as it landed slowly.

That is the queen of land - the female fire dragon.

The dark yellow dragon eyes stared at the corpse of the poisonous demon bird in the forest clearing. The female fire dragon hanging in the air seemed a little hesitant.

It follows sounds and smells.

If it happens to bump into two large monsters that are fighting each other, it will be very happy, because that means it can reap the benefits.

But there was only one uneaten body left at the scene, and the "murderer" was nowhere to be found, which was strange.

It felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, a small silver-white figure emerged from the ground next to the poisonous demon bird's body.

"You're the only one who calls me Queen Meow?!"

Xianglan kicked the insect cage that was placed here. The insect cage was activated, and the stimulated glittering winged insect burst out with bright light.

The female fire dragon who was looking here was instantly stunned and fell from the air with a howl.

"Great job! Up, up, up!"

Hunters hiding in the grass behind tree trunks swarmed up.

Feng Ying was the fastest. She pulled the worm thread and flew to the female fire dragon's head.

I have an ice-type shield ax with a red shield and a full bottle, and there happens to be a huge, blinded and defenseless female fire dragon head here.

How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

“Get the hell out of it!”

Followed closely by the True Charged Slash and the Air Blade Kabuto Cut

Almost in the blink of an eye, the head of the female fire dragon was covered in blood and flesh.

"Hoooooooooo!"

The female fire dragon replaced the poisonous demon bird, and its miserable howl echoed in the forest.

Alva, whose concept of protecting the ecology has developed into a habitual thinking, couldn't bear to close one eye and used the other eye to see how many minutes longer the female fire dragon could last than the poisonous demon bird.

Ancier still didn't fire a shot.

He lowered the barrel and reminded loudly, "Take it easy! Don't kill it all at once. Let it howl for a while longer to attract the male fire dragon."

"Oh! That makes sense!"

"Okay, I'll cut off the tail and save the bottle again!"

"Then I will also accumulate sword energy."

Alva closed the other eye reluctantly.

Hunters who have lifted the constraints of the principle concept of "protecting the ecology" seem to be completely different from human beings.
