Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The hunters who received Ansil's instructions began to try to lure the red dragon to the target area.

A distance of fifty or sixty meters is not far. With the size of the red dragon, it is only a body length away, and it can pass through with one jump.

But the red dragon is not as easy to deceive as ordinary monsters.

Wherever the hunter runs, it will chase.

In order to lure it over, the hunters can only adjust their positions little by little, so that the red dragon will step into the area filled with marsh gas without knowing it.

Under the continuous attacks of Gordon and Hayata, and the continuous stimulation of the dragon attribute energy that continues to burst.

The very irritable red dragon raised its claws and swung them forward horizontally, trying to wave the two back.

Under normal circumstances, Ted, who was responsible for blocking the dragon claw, should raise the big shield to block the claw attack and prevent Gordon and the others from interrupting their offensive rhythm.

And this time he deliberately did not lower his center of gravity very low. At the moment when the claws hit the shield, he seemed unable to resolve the impact and staggered back a few steps.

The dragon claw was able to continue sweeping towards Gordon and the other two.

Hayata saw the cut and dodged in time, while Gordon did not retreat but advanced, cutting close to the left side of the red dragon's neck.

This was the blind spot of the red dragon's right claw and the boundary of its vision.

The red dragon, who regarded Gordon as his main opponent, turned his head and looked at his direction.

In order to maintain the balance of his body, the right claw that missed the horizontal swing also took a step forward.

It was this step that made the red dragon approach six or seven meters in the direction they expected.

This induction method was slow and inefficient. If the monster suddenly got interested and jumped back a little, all the previous efforts would be in vain.

But it was also the most hidden and the least likely to be discovered.

Facing the ancient dragon species, especially the unprecedented strong enemy like the red dragon, it is never too careful.

However, what the hunters did not notice was.

After being lured forward two steps, the red dragon's vision deviated for a moment.

Then he continued to withstand the hunters' attacks, biting and swiping, and continued to compress Gordon's space by stimulating the energy of the earth veins and the ejection of energy flames.

Under the cover of his companions, Gordon gritted his teeth and persisted.

Fifty meters, thirty meters, ten meters, the area where the methane gushed out was getting closer and closer.

Next, he only needed to lead the red dragon forward one step, scatter at the moment Ansel gave the signal, and then use the crossbow to detonate the methane.

The hunters were ready to run a few steps and then lie down.

However, at this moment, a trace of humanized teasing flashed in the red dragon's eyes.

It suddenly opened its mouth and a ball of energy flames sprayed out.

The target was not the hunters in front of it, but the methane mist behind the hunters.

"Lie down!" Ansel's face rarely showed a look of fear, and he shouted hoarsely.

The hunters were about to react, but they were still a moment late.

The fire and air mass detonated by the methane came from behind, blowing the hunters away.

The red dragon took advantage of the situation to spread its wings and flew back a long distance with the air waves caused by the explosion of methane.

Gordon, who rolled on the ground, shook his head vigorously, ignoring the buzzing roar in his brain and the blood oozing from his mouth and nose, and gritted his teeth to try to stand up.

Since they had not yet entered the central area and were not in a closed environment, the power of the methane explosion was not too exaggerated.

Under the protection of the armor, the hunters did not suffer a real serious injury.

But the impact of the explosion was not so easy to bear. For a while, Gordon, Hayata, and Feng Yingtai, who were fighting with the red dragon head-on, had some difficulty getting up.

The red dragon, which flew back more than a hundred meters, took this opportunity to absorb and condense the energy of the earth veins.

The red dragon raised its neck high, and the blazing silver light gathered in its mouth, and the highly condensed blazing breath was about to be spewed out.

It seized the flaw that Gordon and the other four had no time to get up, and planned to get rid of them in one breath.

Two fang hounds came running at high speed, holding protective umbrellas in their mouths, blocking the fallen hunters. Sandstone, carrying a protective shield, also rushed over at full speed.

But it was unrealistic for them to block the full-strength breath of the red dragon.

The two shooters shot frantically.

Ansel fired a supernova at the fastest speed, and the huge fireball that exploded from his chest shook the red dragon's body.

But it seemed to have gotten used to this level of explosion, and the process of absorbing energy and condensing the breath was not interrupted.

Julius and Aiden charged with all their strength.

The two people wandering around the red dragon and behind it were not affected by the methane explosion just now. At the moment when the shooters' attacks were ineffective, they were the only hope to stop the red dragon.

However, the distance between the red dragon and the red dragon was still a little too far.

When they were less than 20 meters away from the red dragon, the red dragon's breath had already condensed.

Seeing that the blazing breath was about to be ejected, Aiden fired his flying claws and flew to the front of the red dragon's head.

"Aiden!"

Julius couldn't help but exclaim.

This behavior is no different from blocking a cannon with one's body. Flesh and blood can't block a cannonball, and the person blocking the muzzle will be crushed to pieces.

Not to mention the power of the red dragon's blazing breath, which is far beyond the reach of conventional artillery.

Facing the imminent eruption of hot light, Aiden shouted and stuffed his shield into the red dragon's throat.

The shield of the one-handed sword is not like the big shield of the spear and cannon, of course it can't completely block the red dragon's huge mouth, at best it can only be regarded as stuffing a foreign object into its mouth.

But this also successfully delayed the time of the breath spray for a moment.

Aiden released his right hand holding the shield, grabbed the fangs of the red dragon, and then stabbed the one-handed sword in his left hand into the red dragon's mouth.

This "Dragon Sealing Sword [Jue Yi Men]" is his most precious weapon, and it has accompanied him in hunting countless powerful enemies.

The Dragon Sealing Sword, which has a similar origin to Gordon's [Epitaph], also has dragon attributes, and its energy intensity is naturally not comparable to the [Immovable] greatsword.

But at the moment when the energy condensed to the limit and was about to turn into a breath of blazing light and spray out.

The dragon attribute energy that burst out from the ancient sword detonated the blazing light in the red dragon's mouth.

"Boom!"

In the violent explosion, the red dragon's head suddenly tilted back, and Aiden, who was at the center of the explosion, was also blown away, rolling on the ground without movement, and his life or death was unknown.

"Aiden!" Julius roared.

He subconsciously ran a few steps towards the place where Aiden fell, and gritted his teeth and stopped.

Continue to rush towards the red dragon.

The energy of the exhaled breath exploded in the mouth, and the red dragon was seriously injured. The mouth was bloody and fleshy, and even a large piece of the cheek and gums were blown off.

But for it, as long as there is energy, it will only take a moment to recover from the most serious injuries.

The red dragon stabilized its body, and the energy light flashed again on the ground below it.

Julius, who came in front of it, fired his flying claws without hesitation and jumped up.

The red dragon's reaction speed was extremely fast. With a tilt of his head, he was about to follow the direction of the rope and take the flying double swords into his mouth.

At the critical moment, Julius swung his sword to cut the rope. With the balance and body control that ordinary people could not achieve, he turned in the air to avoid the red dragon's huge mouth and landed on its head.

Put the projector against the red dragon's raised dragon pupil and squeezed the trigger hard.

All bullets fired!

"Roar--!"

Amidst the violent howls of pain, Julius turned over and broke away with the recoil of the full-bullet launch, unloading the force and landing on the ground.

The red dragon's scarlet eyes moved downward.

Some kind of energy locked onto him. Julius knew he was being targeted, but he was not nervous.

In terms of the ability to deal with monsters, he was not inferior to anyone.

However, just when he thought the other party was going to launch a strong attack on him.

The red dragon spread its wings and flew into the air.
