Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Seeing that the golden lion failed to enter the awakening state, the hunters breathed a sigh of relief.

In the awakened state, the golden lion's speed, strength, muscle hardness, and even the ability to use lightning attribute energy will be significantly improved.

It's not to the point where the two of them can't deal with it together, but it's definitely a lot more difficult.

"It's trying to control the lightning energy!" Hayata shouted: "Don't give it a chance to continue trying, charge!"

"Meow!"

The first ones to come to the golden lion were two hunting cats.

The mushroom, which had not found a chance to take action before, emerged from the ground and crawled along the golden lion's arm and onto its shoulder.

"Ouch——!"

The golden lion roared angrily and swatted at it like a fly. The mushroom moved quickly and jumped onto its horns first.

The golden lion's giant palm missed the target, but slapped itself so hard that it grinned.

With gleaming eyes, Mushroom pulled out the claw-like plundering knife and continuously swung his claws towards the root of the big horn.

It has been eyeing these two horns for a long time. The golden lion is covered in black, and there seems to be nothing special worth attacking. The pair of big horns are the most conspicuous.

If you can dig it down, it will definitely be useful!

The golden lion was irritated. It grabbed the top of its head with both hands, trying to catch the annoying little monster covered with spikes.

The mushroom avoided it flexibly and kept digging.

Seeing this scene, Feng Ying's heart almost jumped out of her chest as she charged at full speed.

What did you say you were not good at digging for? Go dig those pair of strong angles?

That is one of the most powerful weapons of the Golden Lion. It is hard and sharp and can even penetrate the carapace of an ancient dragon species.

Can that be dug out casually? Crush your plundering knife to pieces!

"Roar!"

The golden lion was so annoyed that he flipped and jumped, shaking his head vigorously.

Mushroom was unwilling to give up and grabbed a few hairs on the head of the golden lion that kept flickering. He held on for a while and was eventually thrown away.

Pandan, who was holding the cat sword and jumping around next to the golden lion, turned around and ran in the direction where the mushroom was thrown away.

"I'm going to check the mushroom's injury, meow!"

Hayata: "."

This kid was obviously quite reckless before, but after becoming both a healing cat and a dancing cat, he has become more and more timid for some reason.

But maybe this is a good thing? They don't need more fools in their ranks.

Hayata and Feng Ying, who got close to the golden lion, launched a double attack.

Feng Ying's attack was fierce and she quickly caught the Golden Lion's attention. Hayata took the opportunity to circle around to the side and rear of the Golden Lion and attack the target's hind legs.

The meat here is hard, so it's not really an excellent attacking position, but the Golden Lion itself is small, and if you don't pull it apart, it's easy to accidentally injure your teammates.

And, she had a simple and straightforward plan.

——Concentrated attack, seriously injuring the golden lion's left hind leg.

The left arm of this golden lion was already bitten by the Tyrannosaurus, and was unable to exert upward force. If the hind leg on the same side was also seriously injured, it would be difficult to maintain the balance of the movement.

Then the victory will be sealed!

Hayata had already accumulated a considerable amount of sword energy during the previous skirmishes. Hayata set up the Hyoudachi and aimed at the Golden Lion's left leg joint.

Air blade stabs!

Feng Ying, who noticed Hayata's movements, switched the weapon to the giant ax mode and hit the golden lion's head with a big blow.

The previous battle made the golden lion quite afraid of the power of this axe.

It ignored the stinging pain from its hind legs, which was not too serious, and raised its horn to resist the falling axe. At the same time, its right fist was ready to strike, ready to strike hard at the hunter in front of it.

But he didn't notice that the hunter behind him had jumped into the air.

The sword light flashed, and the ice sword blade fell down.

Air blade cutting!

The power of this blow cannot be compared to the thrust of the front air blade. The golden lion's thigh was cut open, and the blood that spattered out was frozen into boulders by the biting cold air before it could fall to the ground.

"Ouch——!"

The golden lion roared wildly, turned around suddenly, and swung its thick right arm behind him.

Hayata, who had hunted a golden lion alone, knew how flexible this monster was and how quickly it could fight back.

At the same time that the air blade hit, she spun around without any hesitation, flying back to open a distance of several meters.

With his pre-reading knowledge, he avoided the Golden Lion's counterattack without any warning.

On the other side, Feng Ying aimed at the bloody hind legs of the golden lion that turned its back to her, laughed strangely, and swung the giant ax with all her strength.

“Get the hell out of it!”

The long and narrow blade cut by the tachi was torn and expanded by the sawing of the high-speed rotating ax blade, and the ice attribute energy accumulated in the bottle exploded.

The hind legs, which had been hit hard one after another, finally couldn't hold on any longer. The strength slackened under the violent spasms, and the golden lion staggered.

Hayata seized the opportunity and turned on the courage mode.

The whole person turned into an afterimage and swept forward. Under the extreme condensation of the sword energy, it turned into a crimson blade and cut across the wound on the golden lion's left arm.

The blood frozen in the shape of ice flowers falls like cherry blossoms.

Sakura air blade slash.

This sword not only cut through the flesh and blood of the golden lion, but even cut a deep mark on the bones of its left arm.

The golden lion could no longer maintain its balance and fell to the ground howling in pain.

"Great!"

Feng Ying cheered, dismantled the weapon and switched back to sword and shield mode, jumped in front of the golden lion and slashed continuously to charge the bottle to accumulate energy.

She had performed three transcendental solutions today. The solution that was full of energy and meant she could sleep was empty. The next two transcendental solutions were either out of bottles or not full.

Feeling uncomfortable all over

Now, while the golden lion falls to the ground, I have to take a full bottle of solution happily!

Noting Feng Ying's behavior, Hayata felt a little helpless.

This is the case for shield ax users, but for them, accumulating super solution is indeed the most efficient attack method.

After swallowing a strange power pill, the sword blade turned over and sheathed.

After Sakura's air blade slash, the accumulation of sword energy had reached the limit. Hayata breathed out lightly and injected all the sword energy into the blade at once.

At the same time, the freezing air that filled the surface of the avalanche condensed rapidly.

Under the protective effect of the cold air, the fragile but extremely sharp ice blade took shape again on the azure edge of the [Ice Light Spirit Blade].

This is the first time that [Yan Bing Edge] has been strengthened into [Ice Spirit Blade Queen] and she has used all her strength.

Potion, fine control in the state of courage, sword energy condensed to the limit, and protection made from cold energy.

To paraphrase Gordon.

This is her strongest blow since becoming a hunter!

Kamui Iai!

The sword light flashed quickly, and three bloody wounds appeared on the golden lion's head and chest almost simultaneously.

The deepest sword penetrated the golden lion's chest diagonally. Through this wound, one could even faintly see the rapidly beating heart in its chest.

After completing the attack, Hayata slid out of the way of the attack.

At the same time, Feng Ying filled up the energy, inserted the blazing sword into the shield axe, and filled the bottle in one breath.

The mechanism was activated, and the sword and shield combined in the blink of an eye to transform into a giant axe. High-energy arcs crackled and jumped on the ax blade that rotated at high speed.

Feng Ying was so excited that her hair stood on end. If the ax came down, it would smash the gorilla's head no matter what!

"Super! Solution!"

Feng Ying roared and swung her giant ax down.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At the critical moment of life and death, the increasingly rapid heartbeat came from the exposed chest of the golden lion.

A golden electric light exploded from it, then spread to the golden lion's body, dyeing the inconspicuous brown and black fur into a dazzling golden color.

Stimulated by the strong electric current, the golden lion stood up instantly with both arms on the ground, jumped a long distance after leaping, and narrowly avoided the fatal heavy axe.

The golden lion has regained control of the power of awakening, no, it is an "excited" golden lion looking up to the sky and roaring wildly.

"Ooooooooo-!!!"

Feng Ying stared blankly at the giant ax embedded in the ground, and screamed together.

“Ahhhhhh——!!!”

Hayata: "."
