Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Be careful! That seems to be some kind of energy storage state!" The professor reminded the hunters in a sharp voice, "Its control over energy may become stronger!"

The hunters were on edge.

There are many monsters with similar abilities, such as the super-charged state of Thunder Wolf Dragon and the critical state of Explosive Crusher Dragon.

Although the mechanisms are different, the effects are essentially the enhancement of their respective special abilities. If the Red Dragon is the same, it will become more difficult to deal with in the next period of time.

Gordon ran at full speed and approached from the front.

The Red Dragon seemed to remember him, and raised a dragon claw with a low roar and slapped it hard.

Gordon slowed down his pace and noticed something was wrong.

Even if he didn't change direction or slow down at all, the Red Dragon's claw slapped too early and would almost certainly miss.

Is it the kind of attack that triggers the explosion of earth vein energy?

It should be, but the accumulation of this claw is quite obvious, and it is probably not an ordinary energy explosion.

"Boom!"

The Red Dragon's claws fell on the ground more than ten meters away from him.

On the ground around the claws, energy flashed, and after a short delay, it turned into a silver-white high-energy flame and erupted.

No one was hit this time, but the impact did not end.

The ground, which became bright due to the surge of earth vein energy, was constantly spreading to the surroundings, and a larger explosion was brewing.

At this time, most people's first reaction was to keep their distance.

However, the speed of energy explosion was extremely fast, and it might not be possible to run over it with just two legs.

Gordon gritted his teeth and decided to use another more risky strategy.

"Go in!" He roared and quickened his pace.

The energy of the ground that had just exploded was exhausted, and it should not explode again in a short time.

If you can seize the gap of the explosion and rush into the inner circle, you don't have to worry about the energy explosion that continues to spread outward.

Of course, this is just his guess.

If you guess wrong, your companions who continue to rush in with him may be severely injured.

But now is not the time to look back and forth. If you hesitate, things will only get worse!

The aftermath of the explosion in front of him had not yet dissipated, and the ground under his feet gradually became brighter. At the moment of the explosion, Gordon rushed forward.

He had almost no time to land, and the energy condensed on the ground behind him erupted.

The impact of the explosion made him roll forward for several rounds, a little embarrassed, but at least he was not injured.

He guessed it right.

The ground that had just exploded really became dim and quiet.

The explosion that spread to the surroundings was still continuing, but it would no longer affect them.

He glanced around.

The companions who charged with him were in good condition.

Julius and Aiden were flexible enough, and the timing of the breakthrough was very accurate. Feng Ying had the help of the Kinsect, so it was very easy to avoid such attacks.

The only one who looked embarrassed was Ted, who was wearing super heavy armor and was even heavier than himself.

But it was also thanks to the protection of the heavy armor that he was hit by the impact of the energy eruption, but he stood up immediately, as if nothing had happened.

As for Ansir, he would not charge forward with the swordsmen.

The [Famine] heavy crossbow is loaded with the most common normal bullets.

He was sniping at various parts of the red dragon one by one.

For various reasons, when many monsters enter a special state, the meat quality will change accordingly.

So he wanted to test it again.

The result was gratifying.

The red dragon is huge and has thick scales. Before, ordinary crossbow bullets could not break through the defense and cause effective damage.

But now, the red dragon with energy light flowing all over its body looks majestic, and its ability to manipulate the energy of the earth veins has also greatly improved.

But the high concentration of energy flowing between the scales also destroyed the integrity of the red dragon's scale defense.

Some parts where energy veins are concentrated, such as the chest, can barely penetrate the protection even with normal bullets.

"Chest! Head! Wings! The meat is soft!" Ansir reminded his companions loudly, "Especially the chest!"

The cutting damage of sword weapons is different from the penetrating damage of long-range weapons, but they are generally proportional.

When a certain part is confirmed to be weak in defense with a long-range attack, the attack effect of melee weapons is generally not too bad.

"Received!"

Gordon rushed into the explosion circle and approached the red dragon, dragging the big sword and continuing to rush forward.

The red dragon did not save energy this time.

It also knew that its defense was weak at this time, and it would be troublesome if the hunters got close to it. It opened its mouth and exhaled an energy breath with a diameter of more than one meter, sweeping towards the hunters who continued to approach.

Facing the incoming energy beam, Gordon's charge speed increased further. At the moment of the attack, he jumped up and dodged the breath that swept by on his back.

At this time, he had arrived in front of the red dragon.

The big sword dragged behind him was suddenly raised in the direction of the charge, and slashed the red dragon's lower jaw near the throat.

Under the powerful force, the red dragon's head could not help but lift up.

The scales flashing with silver light were cut open, and the dragon blood dyed the sword blade red. The dragon attribute energy that burst out continued to burn the wound.

The breathing stopped, and the energy light shining all over the red dragon became disordered for a few seconds.

Gordon's eyes flickered.

It was difficult to observe the abnormality from the appearance before, so he was not very aware of it.

Regarding this [Immovable] greatsword, what is the so-called "extremely powerful dragon sealing power" mentioned by the leader of the second period group?

Now, through the fluctuation of the energy light on the red dragon, he clearly realized that this sword could indeed effectively disrupt the red dragon's ability to manipulate the energy of the earth veins.

If he had attacked more actively before, perhaps the explosion could have been avoided

Suppressing the regret that flashed through his heart, Gordon roared and launched an offensive with all his strength.

Never let it use that move again!

Taking advantage of the flaw that the red dragon's energy was disordered and its breathing stopped, the other people also approached it.

Julius clashed with his two blades, turned on the ghost, and with the surging fighting spirit, the whole person turned into a residual image and rushed towards Aiden.

Aiden understood and raised his shield. Julius used it as a stepping stone to leap up, and borrowed strength from the side of the red dragon. He didn't even use the hook, and flew onto the back of the red dragon.

His body twisted in the air, and the two swords turned into a storm of sharp blades, cutting through the wings of the red dragon.

Feng Ying has come to the red dragon's chest, the sword in her hand dances rapidly, charging two consecutive slashes and turning around to slash, and three consecutive slashes burst out instantly.

As An Xier said, the flesh of the red dragon's chest becomes quite soft when the energy is gathered, and even the sword can easily cut through the defense.

Then I won't be polite!

The energy accumulated on the sword is less than one-third, but it is barely enough.

Insert the sword into the shield, charge the energy into the bottle, and open the red shield at the fastest speed.

Then combine the sword and shield again, activate the mechanism at the hilt, and the shield turned into an axe blade and rotated at high speed driven by the mechanical structure.

High-pressure backfill mode is activated! (Electric saw)

"Try this!"

Feng Ying swung the buzzing axe, pointed it at the red dragon's chest, and began to cut continuously.

This trick is particularly effective when dealing with monsters of huge size and not very strong defense.

At this time, the red dragon just met these two points.

As the axe blade danced wildly, the red dragon's chest was sawed open with bloody wounds one after another.

Stimulated by the severe pain, the red dragon swung its claws horizontally, trying to knock her away.

Feng Ying released the Kinsect in advance, picked up the axe and jumped up at the moment the claws attacked, and then chopped down, cutting a new wound two or three meters long on the red dragon's chest.

After drinking a bottle of medicine to adjust his state, Ted, who came late, stabbed the gun into the wounds cut by Feng Ying without hesitation.

"Bastard! Taste my cannon!"
