Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Gordon's words reminded everyone.

As he said, the Red Dragon seemed to have fully recovered, but in fact it had only recovered 80% to 90%.

The dragon horns that were broken by the Nergigante, the dragon pupils that were blinded by the fire storm, and the piercing wounds on the chest left by the Ice Curse Dragon's dying counterattack, have indeed recovered.

But there are still many inconspicuous skin injuries on its body.

For example, the broken bone spines on its back have not completely regenerated.

The wound on the tail that the swordsmen cut together still exists, but it has obviously become lighter.

The reason why others ignored these wounds for a while.

It's like a seriously injured person, staggering, bleeding, and even blinded in one eye, looking miserable.

But in a flash, those seriously injured parts disappeared.

With a radiant look, the few inconspicuous skin abrasions left are of course easy to be ignored.

At this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Red Dragon has recovered to its prime.

Those inconspicuous wounds will hardly affect the Red Dragon's actions.

So are these wounds completely meaningless?

From a purely combat perspective, it is true.

But these wounds prove that the earth vein energy stored in this area is not sufficient.

Otherwise, the Red Dragon would not need to use it in moderation. It would be as easy for it to recover from all its injuries in one breath as breathing.

When the hunters saw the Red Dragon recover from its injuries, especially when its blinded one-eye instantly regenerated and returned to its original state, they realized clearly.

Whether it was full of energy or weak and dying.

These were only temporary for the Red Dragon, and the earth vein energy was the only key.

The essence of fighting a Red Dragon is to consume the earth vein energy.

Only when that energy is exhausted can the battle enter the "final stage".

The professor had predicted this situation a long time ago, but seeing it with his own eyes was a completely different feeling.

The only thing to be thankful for was that the ancient dragons had consumed a huge amount of energy for them.

Otherwise, relying on only these teams of hunters, I am afraid that it would be difficult to exhaust the earth vein energy in the Nether Valley even if they tried their best.

The current situation is not good, but it is not the worst.

After a brief panic, the hunters regained their composure.

It was just a protracted battle, and they were prepared for it.

The red dragon swung its body violently, throwing Gordon off its back.

Gordon adjusted his posture and landed on the ground. Although his movements were a bit awkward, he was not injured.

He stood up quickly and was about to say something when he saw the red dragon waving a dragon claw and swiping it towards him.

Gordon quickly rolled sideways to dodge, but the dragon claw swung in vain and hit the open space several meters away from him.

Based on the experience of the previous fight, this attack would end here.

But in this land where the energy of the earth veins reverberated, the red dragon's attack changed.

The moment the dragon claw touched the ground, a silver-white light shone from the contact point, flowing and spreading between the cracks in the stone.

Realizing that something was wrong, Gordon immediately raised the greatsword in front of him and entered a defensive posture.

The silver-white energy on the ground exploded after a short delay of one or two seconds.

The power of this explosion was not too strong, almost equivalent to the power of a regular barrel bomb.

Gordon, who had raised his greatsword in time to defend himself, was pushed back several meters by the shock wave. Under the protection of the sword and armor, the aftermath of the energy shock did not hurt him.

But the red dragon's attack was not over yet.

It seized the flaw after Gordon was hit, and it opened its mouth and a short energy flame sprayed towards him.

Rolling and dodging was not a good option at this time, as the distance between the two was too close.

The red dragon only needed to slightly tilt its head, and the energy flame would cover him while he was rolling.

Gordon had no other choice but to continue to hold the greatsword and prepare to resist.

At this moment, Feng Ying flew over with the help of the Kinsect, came in front of him, raised a large shield, and blocked the energy flame spray for him.

Feng Ying's assistance was timely and beautiful, but Gordon was not happy about it.

His expression hidden under the visor was extremely ugly.

Are the physical attacks that can trigger the energy of the earth veins and the short energy flame spray powerful?

The power of the energy burst is not as strong as that of the barrel bomb, and Feng Ying can successfully block the energy flame spray with a shield.

Compared with the extremely condensed blazing breath that can detonate rocks, it is simply not worth mentioning.

But compared with the breath with amazing power, this kind of ordinary destructive power but extremely fast connection attack is more troublesome for hunters.

After fighting with the hunters for a short time, the red dragon realized that the powerful attack like the blazing breath is an absolute weapon to deal with other ancient dragons.

But on the agile hunters, it seems a bit slow and the power is obviously excessive.

If the breath fails once, a lot of earth vein energy will be wasted.

In contrast, in the process of physical attack, the earth vein energy is slightly triggered, causing a small-scale explosion.

There are also those short bursts of energy flames, which can also pose a threat to hunters, and the energy consumed is not even one-tenth of the breath.

Of course.

For well-equipped upper-level hunters, even if they are hit, they will not lose their combat ability instantly.

But how many times?

Moreover, what really makes Gordon uneasy is not this kind of attack itself, but the brain of the red dragon.

Whether it is through physical contact, a small-scale detonation of earth vein energy, or an energy flame that is like a sneeze to the red dragon, it is obviously not its usual moves.

Because it is not used.

Before them, no hunter had ever come into contact with the red dragon, and as for other small creatures, it is even more impossible for them to come to harass the "Dragon King" that the ancient dragons fear.

In other words, this so-called move was a temporary idea of ​​the red dragon to deal with them.

It has realized that the hunters want to fight a protracted war with it.

Use low-cost physical attacks, combined with small-scale energy explosions, to force the hunters to reveal their flaws, and then use attacks such as energy flames to pursue them.

This should be the red dragon's plan.

A protracted war may not be bad news for it.

If it continues like this, it is hard to say whether the red dragon will be exhausted first due to energy exhaustion.

Or whether the hunters will be completely lost under the high-frequency attacks of the red dragon.

Take a deep breath and get rid of those negative thoughts.

"Disperse the attack, try to destroy the parts, pay attention to cover each other, be careful of the energy explosion on the ground and those short attacks!"

After shouting and giving the order, Gordon rushed straight to the head of the red dragon.

The head is in a higher position, so it is not easy to hit, but this position can attract the attention of the red dragon to himself to the greatest extent, reducing the possibility of others being attacked by surprise.

Hayata saw through Gordon's thoughts.

She grabbed Fengying who was about to launch an attack and whispered, "You are the fastest support among the shield hunters. Go to the front paw and pay attention to the support."

Fengying nodded vigorously.

Hayata was relieved. She looked up at the back of the red dragon. There were some wounds that had not yet healed. Maybe it was a good attack position.

Xianglan, who was following behind her, also raised her head, but she was looking at a higher place.

Tilting her head and thinking for a while, Xianglan ran away from Hayata. She found the pork chop that was about to be thrown at the red dragon with the bomb held high.

"Come with me, meow, I have a good idea, meow!"
