Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"The Silver Knight acted very manically. After killing the Tengu beast, it directly used its wing claws and wing blades to cut the Tengu beast's body into pieces.

It may have been an attempt to cut up the rodents lurking within the corpse, although the Tengumon was probably not infected. "

Selvagina said as he led the way.

Gordon noticed that when the knight of the kingdom mentioned the original Silver Dragon, he always used the title "Silver Knight".

It seems that this title has a far more profound impact on the knights of the kingdom than they thought.

Selvagina continued, "After chopping up Tengumon's corpse, the Silver Knight was about to leave.

But it suddenly turned towards us without warning and directly launched a surprise attack.

Its action is very direct, obviously not a test or inspection, but it has discovered our existence. "

"How did it discover you?" Anhil asked: "Did you have a bunker to protect you at the time? It couldn't have been exposed in an open area, right?"

"Of course not. We were scattered and hiding behind several broken walls. Logically speaking, from the Silver Knight's point of view, it is unlikely that we would be exposed."

"Could it be the smell? Or did you make any noise?" Feng Ying asked.

"As for the sound, it is basically impossible. The straight-line distance is more than three hundred meters. Unless they shout deliberately, the sound cannot be transmitted.

As for the smell, well, that seems to be the only possibility, so I need to pay special attention to it. "Anhil analyzed.

"Its sprint speed is very fast. I have been fortunate enough to witness the scene of Sky Comet Dragon preying on prey. In my opinion, at least in short-distance sprinting, its speed is even faster than Sky Comet Dragon."

"Is it faster than the Sky Comet Dragon?" Gordon whispered to himself.

When he was hunting the injured Sky Comet Dragon, that guy's speed left a very deep impression on him.

"I asked everyone to disperse and deal with the Silver Knight with the first purpose of self-protection. After all, rodents are less likely to parasitize 'small creatures' like humans.

Logically speaking, the Silver Knight's urge to kill us wouldn't be too strong. "

"Except those who are actively being parasitized." Feng Ying muttered softly.

"Can you describe its fighting method in detail?" Gordon asked.

"Naturally, most of its attacks revolve around its wings and dragon tail.

When the dragon wings covered with hard carapace are brought together, they resemble a giant sword. Whether it is thrusting or slashing, it is very sharp and can easily break the stone walls and pillars in the ruins.

It can also cover the body with dragon wings to defend against attacks, both offensive and defensive, like a seasoned knight holding a sword and shield, which is very tricky.

The dragon's tail is more sinister, and sometimes it will stab out suddenly when mixed with the slashes of the dragon's wings. At that time, I almost got hit. This was a gift it left to me. "

Selvagina pointed at the huge scratches on his sword.

Gordon nodded slowly.

What Selvagina said was similar to Feng Ying's description of the scene when the Silver Dragon of the Central Plains hunted the Exploding Scale Dragon, but with the addition of the dragon's tail stabbing.

The wing spear of the Sky Comet Dragon combined with the tail spine of the Ice Dragon? It sounds quite bluffing.

"After that, how did you get rid of the pursuit of the original Jue Silver Dragon?" Fiolena asked a key question.

"To be precise, we didn't get rid of it, but the Silver Knight left on his own. Maybe he found some rodent breath.

At that time, we were preparing to evacuate back to the stronghold and headed towards the camp in the southern part of the highlands. However, in the evening, we were attacked for the second time by the Silver Knights. "

"It's back again? Are you being targeted?" Feng Ying asked in surprise.

"Yes." It was Lepage who answered this time. "The second attack lasted until dark. There wasn't even a moon in the sky that day. It was so dark that you couldn't see anything clearly. You couldn't even take two steps without being covered by bricks on the ground. Stumbled over a rock.

The captain was worried that we would be more likely to encounter danger, so we found a ruins to hide in. We didn't even dare to light a bonfire. We stayed up all night and continued on our way until daybreak. "

"After that, will there be a third attack?" Hayata asked.

"No more, we had already arrived near this ancient castle, and the Silver Dragon never appeared again.

At that time, we considered continuing to evacuate and return to the stronghold, but the captain was worried that the Silver Dragon would follow us in the distance and pose a threat to the stronghold.

So we entered the castle and hid. "

The old knight Arlo, who had never spoken, nodded and commented, "A prudent and wise decision."

"We rested in the castle for a while. Last night, because I was bored, I walked around the ruins.

As a result, some new discoveries were made. Perhaps, that was the real reason why the Silver Knight stopped chasing us.

——It is avoiding this castle. "

Selvagina stopped and pointed forward, "The truth is in the hall ahead. Everyone, are you ready?"

"Mysterious." Feng Ying made a face at him.

He picked up his shield and, together with General Arlo, the defender, came to the front of the team.

Gordon and other swordsmen also put their hands on the handles of their weapons, protecting the shooters in the center, maintaining a vigilant formation, and slowly moved forward.

They passed through an extremely huge foyer. The rotten wooden door leading to the main hall was already crumbling, so there was no need to open it with any effort. The group of people turned slightly sideways and successfully passed through the gap between the two doors and entered the main hall.

Sunlight shines through the gap between the skylight and the wall.

The curtain flags hanging on the walls and huge pillars on both sides have long been decayed and turned into a dark brown color like rotten blood, while the stone pillars themselves still maintain basic integrity and solemnity.

Under the reflection of a few rays of sunlight, there is a sense of broken beauty.

Feng Ying even wanted to take out a portable camera and take a few photos.

The premise is that there are not so many disgusting insects in this hall.

In the area where the sun does not shine, densely packed, countless gnawing insects lie on the walls and the ground around, dyeing everything in the shadow into a bright red color.

The size of these gnawing insects is generally not too small, at least the size of a palm, and even enlarged individuals are not too rare.

They are motionless and sleeping quietly.

The soft wings trembled slightly, like some evil flower from hell, waiting for the opportunity to devour the human world.

Gordon made a gesture after holding down Feng Ying's hand that was about to draw the sword.

Everyone slowly left the hall and carefully closed the rotten wooden door.

It was not until she left the lobby that Feng Ying burst out with a series of curse words, "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! So disgusting!

With so many bugs flying out, how many monsters will be infected?!

Hurry up and call the artillery team over. It is more important than anything else to kill these bugs first!"

An Xier looked solemn, "No, even if the artillery team carries a lot of shotguns, it is impossible to deal with this number of gnawing bugs.

They are still sleeping now. Once they are awakened by the sound of firing and fly away, whether they attack us or fly away, we are powerless to stop them."

Even with Gordon 's courage, and felt a little scared, "Is there any other more efficient way? Burn? Or use poison or something?"

"They can even parasitize the Flame King Dragon and the Mist Dragon, what do you think?"

"Then use a more direct way, blow them up meow meow!"

"That's a way, but how many bombs are needed to blow up the hall and crush all the gnawing insects in one go?"

The pig's beard trembled, "If it's the level of barrel bombs, it's estimated that there are one or two hundred meows?"

But this is obviously unrealistic. The gunpowder in the entire Elgard stronghold cannot make so many barrel bombs.

Gordon rubbed his swollen forehead, "Anyway, let's retreat first, use Fukumu Rabbit to send a letter and report what happened here to Admiral Gareas.

The battle against the Duke Silver Dragon is temporarily suspended."

He was interrupted by a series of dense abnormal noises when he was halfway through his words.

Next, there was the rustling sound of wings rubbing against each other, and the roar of the wooden door being knocked down.

Countless gnawing insects turned into huge blood-colored waves, rushed out of the hall, and rushed towards them.
