Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

As the boulder began to collapse, Zhuchop and Babaka threw the explosive pot bombs that were igniting violently aside and drilled into the ground as quickly as possible.

To avoid being accidentally injured by the falling boulder.

The two explosive pot bombs were pressed under the prone dragon.

One of the tanks was crushed, and the unburned charge exploded in an instant, sparks flew everywhere, crackling, like a pile of fireworks under the red dragon.

The other one remained intact, and the high-temperature flame column and sparks continued to burn the red dragon's chest and abdomen.

It felt like a piece of red-hot coal was stuffed into the chest.

The red dragon struggled with the burning pain and tried to get up.

A boulder with a width of six or seven meters and a weight of hundreds of tons just fell on its head and smashed it back.

"Boom!"

"Roar--!"

The roar of the falling boulder and the red dragon's painful and angry roars echoed in the cave one after another.

Gordon clenched his fists excitedly.

The damage caused by these falling rocks to the red dragon was probably more than that caused by all the hunters combined.

Without anyone's command or reminder, the archers immediately took their positions and launched a new round of concentrated bombing.

The swordsmen were the same.

They focused on the red dragon's tail again. It was not that they had any obsession with the tail, but when the heavy crossbowmen concentrated their fire, only the tip of the tail could be considered safe.

Everyone seized this opportunity and attacked desperately.

With the wisdom of the ancient dragon species, the same trap could only be hit once, and it would be difficult to find such a good attack opportunity afterwards.

The unstable collapse of the falling rocks gradually stopped.

The heavy crossbowmen fired several more rounds in a row. When the Lv3 diffusion bombs that had been replenished not long ago were almost exhausted, the red dragon was unable to stand up again.

It just bent its body, used its wings and back to protect its chest, head and other vital parts under its body, and passively endured the attack.

If it weren't for its still heavy and powerful breathing, the hunters would have suspected that it was about to die.

Another half minute passed, and the firepower of the archers gradually became sparse.

It's not that they didn't want to continue the fire suppression.

In the continuous shooting, the barrel of the crossbow has become red hot.

The diffusion bombs carried by the heavy crossbowmen and the spare bullets carried by the two fang hounds have been completely exhausted.

And the red dragon still didn't get up.

This made Gordon and others feel uneasy.

This guy is not a punching bag who doesn't fight back. The reason why he has been lying like this and passively bearing the damage is that he is probably holding back something big.

Sure enough, a silver light appeared on the ground, and the energy of the earth veins flowed between the cracks of the rocks like water, gathered, and injected into the red dragon's body.

Broken by the falling rocks and the bombardment of the archers, the charred scales were restored to their original state in an instant.

The dragon wings full of holes also became thick and complete again under the repair of the earth vein energy.

Perhaps a few more heavy blows would cut off the long tail, which was pierced into the ground where the earth vein energy gathered.

After a short delay of several seconds, the dragon's tail suddenly rose up.

The large-scale detonation of the earth vein energy pushed the hunters back.

The hideous wound on the dragon's tail that penetrated into the tailbone had also disappeared.

This time, even the shell and scales had been completely repaired, and there was no trace of injury.

Even if you were mentally prepared in advance.

Try your best to force the opponent into a desperate situation of serious injury, and the opponent recovered from the injury in an instant.

That feeling of powerlessness still enveloped every hunter.

"Be careful! It's still absorbing energy!" The professor hidden in the distance reminded loudly.

With the red dragon as the center of the circle, the brilliance of the earth vein energy lit up thousands of square meters of the ground, and these lights gradually extinguished from far to near, and finally completely absorbed into the red dragon's body.

While recovering from the injury, it actually completely drained the earth vein energy in this area in one breath!

The red dragon slowly stood up.

"Everyone! Keep your distance and find cover!" Gordon roared, "It's going crazy!"

"Roar--!!!"

Silver-white flames ignited between the gaps in the red scales.

In a long dragon roar, the red dragon waved its wings, slowly left the ground, and came to the air.

No one would think it was going to escape.

That momentum was obviously going to burn them all in one breath!

The pterosaurs hovering in the air all fled in all directions under the deterrence of this breath. In this case, it was impossible to use the home bomb to urgently summon the pterosaurs to retreat.

"Don't hide behind the fallen rocks! It's not strong enough! Choose those rocks that are connected to the ground!" The professor in the distance stood on a big rock, constantly urging and reminding the hunters.

Alva pulled the old man down and pressed him under him.

The red dragon in the air lowered its head, and a nearly transparent energy flame spurted out of its mouth.

The ground directly below instantly became red hot and softened, and the energy flames, accompanied by some kind of flammable gas, spread in all directions.

The hunters each found a good cover and prepared to be hit as quickly as possible.

They put on protective clothing such as physical clothing and immobile clothing, swallowed hardening pills, put the secret medicine in their mouths, set up their weapons, and entered an anti-impact posture.

No one would be careless when it came to their own lives, and they made all possible preparations.

The rest could only be left to fate.

The continuous spraying of energy flames lasted for more than ten seconds, and the temperature in the cave continued to rise, and burns began to appear on the hunters.

Just then, the whistling sound of the energy flames came to an abrupt end.

"Is it over?"

Feng Ying poked her head out from behind the cone-shaped rock where she was hiding and looked at the red dragon in the air.

The red dragon flapped its wings and soared to a higher altitude.

The dragon opened its mouth.

The bright silver energy light gathered in its mouth.

Finally, it turned into a small droplet that was brighter than the sun and dripped to the ground.

An unprecedented sense of crisis hit her brain.

"It's not over yet! The real attack is coming!!"

She roared and retreated behind the rock. While holding her shield with her shoulders, she released countless silk threads to strengthen her defense layer by layer.

The droplet that condensed all the energy of the red dragon slowly fell down. At this moment, the whole world fell into absolute silence.

The moment the droplet landed, the entire valley was shrouded by the light that destroyed everything.

"Meow!"

Gordon suddenly opened his eyes after several cat slaps on his face.

His mind was a little confused, and his memory was still at the moment of the explosion.

Seeing Gordon regain consciousness, Zhuchop breathed a sigh of relief and ran towards the others.

Sharp tinnitus filled his mind, and his brain, which had suffered excessive shock, could not control his body's balance for a while. He had to stand up shakily with the sword.

The red dragon had disappeared, and the ground was still in a red-hot semi-molten state.

This meant that he would not lose consciousness for a long time, a few minutes? Or maybe only a dozen seconds.

Feng Ying, who was covered in dust, trotted over.

"Master Gordon!" Seeing that Gordon was fine, Feng Ying's panic finally dissipated a little, "Everyone."

"Let's talk about the rest later, help with first aid first."

Gordon took Feng Ying, Zhuchop and the scholars who ran from afar to check the status of their companions.

The situation was worse than they expected.

Almost all the archers with weaker armor protection had lost their combat ability, and Lai, a member of the heavy crossbow team, was confirmed to have died.

The other two members, Mia and Nora, are still in danger, and Zhucho Xianglan is giving them first aid.

Oshura and Nadia were slightly less injured because of their better armor, but they also fell into a deep coma.

As for Gale, she was not fatally injured under the special protection of the Xuanhuilong armor, and her consciousness was barely awake, but her brain was severely concussed. Now she can't even stand steadily, and obviously has no ability to fight.

The only one who can return to the battlefield in a short time is Ansir, who has more than one shield installed on the heavy crossbow.

The swordsmen are in a slightly better situation.

Gordon, Ted, Fengying, and Aiden are wearing heavy armor and their weapons have protective capabilities, so their injuries are not serious.

Julius took advantage of his speed and sprinted to a farther position to avoid the attack, and his condition was still good.

Hayata's situation is similar to Gale's. Under the protection of the spirits provided by the [Avalanche] suit and the stone, she was not fatally injured, but under the violent impact of the explosion, it is difficult to recover in a short time.

Maka's situation was very bad. In order to pursue flexibility, the defensive performance of her [Tenglong] was not much stronger than that of the shooters, and she also fell into a coma.

With more than half of the combat power lost, there were only six hunters who could immediately join the battle, including Gordon himself.

They gathered around Gordon, waiting for the next instruction.

Gordon was silent for a moment and pulled down his armor.

"Continue to chase."

Ps.

Considering the reality, it is unlikely that Chidi Cangxing will be fine if he hides behind a rock.

If we pursue more reality, the number of casualties will probably be higher, but... we won't make it so bitter and vengeful.
