Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"It is over forty meters long, covered with a brownish-red carapace, and has amazing defensive capabilities. Hunter weapons are basically ineffective when shooting, so it has not been able to detect its attribute weaknesses."

"Like Fengshanlong and Haoshanlong, it can dive and swim in the sand sea."

"Be able to condense the sandstorm tornado in some way."

"It will eject high-pressure air masses mixed with sand and gravel from the glands on both sides of its body, which is powerful enough to shatter the hull of a dragon-attacking ship."

"Has the ability to fly."

Gordon extracted important information from Musa's description.

"I'm not sure whether that counts as flying ability. It doesn't seem to fly too high. The flying speed is slow and inflexible." Moussa seemed hesitant.

"Can it stay in the air for a long time? Or can it only glide like a flying fish after leaping out of the water?" Hayata asked while recording.

"Yes, I at least saw it stay in the air for more than a minute, and it was able to swing its body and climb.

But how do you describe it? That posture doesn't look like flying, but more like swimming in the water? "

"Of course that counts as the ability to fly." Gordon nodded, "Flying is not just about flapping your wings."

They have seen a lot of large monsters that can fly without wings, such as Lanlong, Thunder Dragon, and Fuyue Dragon.

In fact, they all conform to the characteristics of what Musa said, "like swimming in water."

As for the principle of flight, it is nothing more than the ability to manipulate magnetic fields and airflow.

Hayata repeated the information she had recorded, and after making sure it was correct, she looked at Gordon and nodded.

The president saw some clues, "What? Do you have any clues about the true identity of the unknown monster?"

"That's right."

Gordon took out a scroll from the pocket on his waist and said, "You have basically reported this information in your report to the guild.

Through these, scholars from the Ancient Dragon Observation Bureau and the Scriveners Team have roughly identified a legendary ancient dragon.

——The swallowing dragon. "

"Tun Yuan. Dragon." The president repeated the word word by word.

"Well, the information came from the Mejboltan Guild, saying that there is such a legend circulating in the poetry of the nomads in the Diet Desert.

——At the bottom of the sand sea in the Land of the Rising Moon, there lives the ‘fierce god of the dry sea’.

Their carapace is the color of red sandstone, and when they appear in the sand sea, they look like moving mountains.

The evil god summoned sandstorms and tornadoes to destroy the oasis.

Riding on the hot wind, it flew into the air, its figure and dust covering the sky.

The abyss-like stomach and mouth swallowed the prey and the desert together.

Well, how should I put it, they are almost exactly the same. "

The president took the scroll, read it quickly and then raised his head, "Just these poems? No more detailed battle information?"

Gordon shrugged, "No, the Majorboltan Guild only gave this creature the name 'Abyss-Swallowing Dragon' based on legend.

The hunter he belongs to has never encountered him, let alone fought with him in the actual sense.

In short, they don't know as much as you do. "

"In other words, they just provided us with a name they gave us. What's the use of it?!" the grumpy Heineye cursed.

"At least it's better than naming it after the fight." Musa said with a wry smile.

From expectations to disappointment, the emotions of Balubare and others were naturally not good. Gordon, who saw this, said:

"Actually, thanks to your previous efforts, we have obtained quite a lot of critical intelligence. This battle may not be that difficult to fight."

Heineye obviously didn't believe Gordon's words, she smacked her lips, "Don't say comforting words, the children of the desert are not that fragile.

The dragon-attacking fleet was also destroyed. The worst thing we can do is fight with it! "

Gordon was amused by her somewhat self-defeating words, "No, I'm not comforting you.

In fact, to be honest, in my opinion, you have reached a dead end. "

"What should I say?" The president put his hands on the table and cheered up.

"Balu Barre has a battle with Haoshanlong almost every year. The dragon-fighting fleet is the absolute main force and has great achievements in battle.

And the Yuanyan Dragon easily defeated the dragon fleet. Do you think that the Yuanyan Dragon is more terrifying than the Haoshan Dragon? "

"What do you mean?" Musa responded more quickly.

"Yes, the reason why the Abyss-Devouring Dragon can easily destroy the fleet is not because it is too strong, nor is it because the dragon-striking fleet is too weak.

The main reason for the failure was that this approach was simply inappropriate.

I haven't been on Balubare's dragon-striking boat, but I guess it's similar to Lockak's Fengshan Maru. The main weapons should be three types, dragon-smashing guns, heavy crossbows and artillery.

Once the Abyss-Devouring Dragon flies into the air, only the heavy bed crossbow among these three weapons can barely be effective.

Moreover, the distance must be increased, otherwise the bed crossbow's range of fire will not be able to reach that high. However, once the distance is increased, the power of the bed crossbow cannot be guaranteed, and it cannot even penetrate the carapace of the Yuanyuan Dragon.

The Abyss-Devouring Dragon in the air can attack the fleet at will. No matter from any aspect, the fleet is too passive. "

"That's right." Musa nodded seriously.

"So in the end we had no choice but to give up using the weapons on the ship, let the dragon-attacking boat get as close as possible, and then attack it with the hunter's crossbow. The swordsmen were also trying their best to board the dragon.

Unfortunately, the attack effect is very poor, the reason is still the same, its carapace is too thick.

The hunter's weapons can hit them, but they can't hit them. The weapons on the dragon boat can hit them, but they can't hit them. In the end, they can only be defeated one by one. "

Gordon pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although it is a bit sarcastic to say this now, but...

In my opinion, when you find that the battle is completely passive and there is no hope of breaking the situation, you should decisively retreat separately. "

Musa fell into silence, and after a while, he sighed and admitted, "Indeed."

"Then do you have any better ideas now?" Henie's tone was not very good.

Gordon could understand her mood.

From a certain perspective, what he just said could even be said to deny the significance of the sacrifices of the victims of the dragon-striking fleet.

"have."

Gordon said solemnly: "First of all, give up the combat method with dragon boats as the core.

The dragon-attacking boat is useful against Haoshansaurus because it is more maneuverable than Haoshansaurus and has the advantage of heavy firepower, so it can repel Haoshansaurus time and time again.

While the Yuanyan Dragon can fly, the dragon-attacking ship is at a disadvantage in terms of maneuverability, and its weapons cannot reach the opponent, so it is completely useless. "

"You make sense." The president said with a wry smile: "What's more, there is only one dragon-attacking ship now, which is barely able to attack.

Either way, we have to find another way. "

"So we need a weapon that can surpass the Abyss-Devouring Dragon in terms of maneuverability and have heavy firepower?" Moussa asked.

Hayata thought for a while, "If these requirements are met, the Dragon Consciousness Ship of Longliyuan should be able to meet them.

With the help of that ship, it shouldn't be difficult to repel or even kill the Abyss-Devouring Dragon. "

"Long Shichuan, maybe I can try to communicate." The president rubbed his chin.

"No, no, no." Gordon waved his hands, "Of course Longshi Ship is a good idea, but it's not that easy to borrow. Longliyuan is in a lot of troubles now."

He had no interest in showing off, and said bluntly: "My idea is positional warfare.

Although the Yuanyan Dragon is large, it is not on the level of a giant ancient dragon or a super giant ancient dragon. If multiple sets of restraining bullets are fired at the same time, it should still be able to control it.

This will destroy its ability to fly.

What needs to be confirmed now is whether you can find a small canyon or an area surrounded by mountains near its active area? "

"Of course!" Henie crossed her arms and said, "There are as many places as you can find in the Gobi Desert!"

Gordon nodded, "That's easy. Find a suitable terrain to use as a decisive battleground.

Arrange multiple heavy-duty crossbows in advance to launch restraint bombs to restrain and control the Yuanyuan Dragon.

At the same time, heavy artillery is set up at high altitudes and attacked from a high position. This solves the problem of the artillery being unable to target the air.

It would be best if you can arrange a dragon gun, but if not, prepare more explosive bombs.

Doesn't it like to inhale and devour it? If you lure it into swallowing explosive bombs and detonate them from the inside, it should be able to cause considerable damage. "

The old president nodded slowly and quickly thought about the feasibility of each link.

Gordon continued: “There are only two questions left.

The first is how to introduce the Yuanyan Dragon into the decisive battlefield. This can be figured out by us high-level hunters.

The second is the most critical part. Can the craftsmen of Balubare complete the layout of the artillery, heavy crossbows, and dragon guns mentioned earlier within the planned time? "

The president, Musa, and Heiniya looked at each other, and a smile appeared on Hayata's face.

The old president stood up with a smile, picked up the wide-brimmed hat and put it on his head, "Can you finish it? Are you kidding me?"

This is the mobile city of Balubare!

If necessary, we can move the entire city to the battlefield! "

Ps.

The CG of the mh4 brigade's departure, the Balu Barre machine technique, is shocking.

If you are interested, you can take a look, (BV1WG4y1r7NW) time 3:05
