Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Although the IQs of the male and female fire dragons of the flying dragon species are higher than those of ordinary beasts, they are far from the level of intelligent creatures such as humans or orcs.

Facing the continuous harassment of shotguns, the female Charmander quickly forgot the original purpose of supporting the male Charmander and ran away with Anshir.

The badly injured male fire dragon was stopped by Gordon.

Facing the red dragon's eyes again, Gordon could feel the anger in its heart—although it was heavily wounded, it was more dangerous than before.

Out of a subtle state of mind that Gordon himself can't explain clearly, maybe it's respect for the strong, maybe it's a challenge to himself, and of course it may just be pure superiority.

Gordon gave up the previous wretched tactics of getting under the male fire dragon, or attacking the butt by detouring its side and rear blind spots, and stood in front of the male fire dragon.

At least in the end, he wanted to fight the Fire Dragon face to face.

Looking at the hunter who raised the big sword in front of him, the Xiong Huolong roared, opened his huge mouth and rushed to bite.

Gordon took a step back, and the raised sword hit the hard chin of Xiong Huolong. With a "clang", the Explosive Knife bounced high, and even Gordon himself couldn't help but retreat a few times. step.

In terms of strength, the male fire dragon has an absolute advantage.

Gordon grinned, but he didn't mean to back down. His arm was numb, so he gripped the sword hilt tighter and continued to attack!

Biting, flapping its wings, tearing its claws, Gordon dodged or blocked several successive attacks of the Charmander, so it began to inhale.

As the male Charmander's neck lifted and his chest expanded, Gordon knew it was about to breathe.

This was not an attack that could be blocked by strength or technique. He immediately put away his weapon and began to run.

The male fire dragon breathed faster this time than before, because what it exhaled was not a solid fireball, but a flame mixed with gunpowder smoke.

Naturally, the flames couldn't explode tens of meters away like a fireball, but with the swing of the male fire dragon's head, fiery flames and smoke covered a large area in front of it, easily scorching the flesh and blood covered in it.

Gordon's early reaction saved his life again. Before the breath started, he successfully ran out of the enveloping range of the flame's breath. The aftermath of the flames burned his back, and it felt hot. There might be burns, but it was relatively minor.

This is due to the excellent fire resistance of the monster bird suit. If he had to use the previous ore suit to hunt the male fire dragon, he would have a large blister on his back.

Somewhat annoyed, he downed a bottle of recovery medicine, and Gordon rushed forward again, slashing at the neck of the male fire dragon.

The male fire dragon who had just finished exhaling seemed a little tired, so he took the blow hard, but then he also waved his dragon wings and repelled Gordon. You came and I fell into a protracted battle with one person and one dragon.

It stands to reason that this is a good thing for hunters

The learning ability of humans is far superior to that of monsters. After gradually becoming familiar with the attack patterns of monsters, the probability of hunters being injured will drop sharply.

Gordon is in such a state now. With a slight movement of the male fire dragon, he can roughly guess the opponent's next move, and it is almost inseparable.

If you continue like this, as long as you don't make mistakes, you will be able to hunt the male fire dragon steadily in an hour or two at most.

But he doesn't have that much time right now.

In order to help him win the chance to deal with the male fire dragon, An Xier is being driven around by his wife. This is a protracted battle, what should I do if the young master is wiped out by his wife first? !

In order to open up the situation, Gordon had to change his tactics, and he even began to try a technique that he had only heard about before, but never really practiced.

——prejudgment.

Most creatures, including androsaurus, and even humans, have a habit.

In battle, you will subconsciously confront your opponent.

This sounds like nonsense, but it is actually related to the biological structure of the creature—the front is the place with the clearest line of sight, and it is also the most accessible position for teeth and limbs.

And this habit rooted in the subconscious will also become an important basis for Gordon to predict the actions of the dragon.

He tried to come to the oblique front of the male fire dragon, and immediately started to charge. The male fire dragon turned to him and bit out. Gordon immediately stopped charging and rolled to dodge.

Although the attack failed, Gordon had some confidence in his heart.

"The location is not very good."

After muttering silently, Gordon adjusted his position. This time he came directly to the side of the male fire dragon, at the edge of his line of sight, and started to charge his power.

Xiong Huolong turned around and waved his wings, interrupting his charge again.

"Tsk, there is something wrong with the timing this time."

Gordon continued to make adjustments, until one time, he had just dodged a dragon wing swipe from the male fire dragon, and immediately entered a power storage stance.

In order to see him clearly from the front, and to bite him more conveniently, the male fire dragon turned his head around, and Gordon, who had just completed the third stage of charging, watched the male fire dragon move his head closer to the attack range of the big sword.

"It's now!"

Gordon's pupils shrank slightly, he exhaled and exerted strength, and the Explosive Knife Gai slashed down with the strength accumulated to the limit.

The sharp claw blades precisely cut into the broken part of the male fire dragon's head carapace, tearing the flesh and blood until it was stuck by the skull.

A greatsword is different from a light weapon such as a double sword.

The inertia force carried by the heavy sword body that sacrificed speed for power was not wasted at all. Like a giant hammer, it smashed the head of the male fire dragon to the ground.

"Ha! Is this what you call 'waiting for the monster to send its head to the blade'?"

Gordon felt as if he had glimpsed a corner of the sword skills of the strong among the great swordsmen. As long as he continued along this road, the way of using the charged slash would undergo earth-shaking changes.

And his strength will rise to another level!

Slash with a strong charge!

Full of anticipation for the future in his heart, Gordon didn't stop his movements. Taking advantage of the male fire dragon being knocked down, he once again released a powerful strong charge slash, inflicting further heavy damage on the male fire dragon.

Even the flying dragons, known for their tenacious vitality, couldn't bear it under the successive heavy blows.

The male fire dragon staggered to its feet, fluttered its wings into the air and moved back, while the flame star rolled in its huge mouth, obviously preparing for another flame breath.

I've seen this trick before, its neck stretches forward when it breathes out flames!

With some confidence in his heart, Gordon no longer prepared for dodge, but went straight up, rushed to the position obliquely in front of the male fire dragon, and entered the posture of accumulating power.

The pungent sulfur smell hits the face, and the exhalation is about to begin.

"Drink!"

Gordon, who had finished charging, roared, and directly slashed out the big sword in his hand, even though the head of the male fire dragon was still out of his attack range.

However, at this moment, the male fire dragon suddenly stretched its neck, and the flame wave rushing out of its throat was about to engulf Gordon, but it just happened to send his head under the blade of the Explosive Knife Kai.

From top to bottom, the claw-shaped sword head pierced the male Charmander's upper jaw, forcing it to close its huge mouth, and at the same time suffocated the flame breath that was about to be released at the throat.

"boom!"

The body of the male fire dragon fell heavily on the ground, and with a dull explosion, the flames that could not be released blasted a huge opening in the throat of the male fire dragon, and the flesh and blood mixed with fire smoke and black smoke were scattered everywhere.

In the golden vertical pupils, the light of life began to fade.

The young hunter raised his great sword again, and struck the final blow that ended the dragon's life.
