Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"His meow is a life-threatening meow again!"

Xianglan cursed, but her hand movements were not slow at all.

Ted was seriously injured, not only on his shield-holding right arm, but also on his body with multiple fractures and internal bleeding, but it was not life-threatening.

After a wave of emergency treatment was fixed, he and Maka, who came running, carefully moved Ted to Gale's back and sent him away from the battlefield.

The exit of the two heavy-armed forwards cast a haze on everyone's minds, but there was no way out at this time. They had to risk everything and persevere.

Seizing the precious opportunity when the Black Dragon fell to the ground, the three Gordons attacked desperately.

True charged slash, air blade continuous slash, ascending dragon slash.

Various powerful moves landed on the black dragon's head one after another, prying open the hard head shell that was full of wounds and cracks but still intact.

In order to avoid mutual interference, Feng Ying targeted the dragon horn that had been chopped open by Gordon.

She inserted the sword into the shield, then activated the mechanism and turned on the high-voltage backfill (chainsaw).

Master Gordon's True Charged Slash is incredibly powerful, but like her Transcendence, it's more disadvantageous when used to slash extremely hard targets.

It's like punching a wall with all your strength. If you don't punch through the wall in one go, most of the force will bounce back.

Sister Hayata's Taidao is sharp but thin. It is very suitable for cutting flesh and blood, but it will be more difficult to use to chop dragon horns than a big sword, shield and axe.

In comparison, the shield ax in high-pressure backfill mode has become the best choice.

Under normal circumstances, the black dragon would certainly not give her the opportunity to continue sawing a certain part, but now, Brother Ted desperately created an opportunity for the black dragon to fall to the ground.

How could we not make good use of it?

The rapidly rotating silver-white ax blade landed heavily on the crack at the end of the dragon's horn with a scalp-numbing "buzzing" wind whistle.

"Zi——!"

The ax handle was shaking violently and was about to come out of her hand. Feng Ying gritted her teeth and tried her best to maintain the stability of the giant ax.

The red arc of dragon attribute energy continued to flash, and the blazing sparks spurted out almost formed a golden waterfall. The burnt smell produced by the continuous friction between the ax blade and the dragon horn spread around.

The ax blade turned into a blur of silver light under high-speed rotation, and was cutting into the dragon's horn at a slow but visible speed.

It works! According to this momentum, give her another half minute, no, twenty seconds! She can saw off this dragon horn!

But the black dragon obviously wouldn't give her such a long time.

It growled, supported the ground with its limbs, and stood up slowly.

"Now!" Julius yelled from behind the black dragon.

With his and Aiden's continued efforts, the wound on the black dragon's hind foot joint deepened a lot.

Gale, who was roaming around shooting, joined in the fun and fired a string of armor-piercing grenades into the wound. Aiden also inserted his only remaining slime bomb into the wound with his backhand, pulled the fuse, and ignited it.

After a short delay, a ball of fire flashed from the black dragon's injured hind foot.

Under the powerful impact and severe pain that penetrated his joints, the black dragon staggered to its feet. Before he could stand still, the black dragon howled in pain and fell back to the ground.

"Meow!"

"Kababa!"

Pig Chop and Babaka got out of the ground and came to the chest of the fallen black dragon.

Each of them held a giant kettle bomb in their arms, which was more than one circle larger than their entire bodies. After biting open the fuse with their teeth, they aimed the nozzle of the kettle bomb at the fragile chest of the black dragon after its outer armor had softened.

"call--!"

The super-high temperature fire pillars and fine metal shavings ignited and the sparks formed spurted out. The huge impact almost made it difficult for them to hold the pot body.

During the Battle of the Red Dragon, this special explosive from the Strange Face Tribe showed its potential.

But it also has shortcomings, such as slow ignition time, it takes a while to reach the maximum firepower after pulling the fuse, it is not safe enough, and it is not powerful enough.

With the help of master craftsmen and alchemists, Pork Chops modified it, replacing the original gunpowder with certain highly reactive metal scraps.

Faster start, longer flame column, higher flame temperature

So high that they can hardly hold it.

"It's scalded to death, meow!" Pig Chop and Babaka jumped on their feet, and the parts that came into contact with the kettle bombs were already showing symptoms of burns.

But they still gritted their teeth and endured, trying hard to resist the recoil, pressing the kettle bomb against the black dragon's chest, letting the gushing pillar of fire burn through the softened carapace of the black dragon's chest.

The fire pillar of the kettle bomb started violently and ended quickly. In less than ten seconds, the fire pillar and sparks continued to erupt and then disappeared.

Porkchop and Babaka, whose hair and skin on their chests were almost scorched, stuffed the seemingly calmed-down pot explosive bomb in their arms into the wound drilled by Ted with the explosive dragon bomb on the black dragon's chest.

Then he hurriedly dived into the ground.

The black dragon, whose breathing was heavy and finally regained some strength, roared and tried to get up again.

At this moment, the two extinguished kettle bombs stuffed into its chest exploded.

"rumble--!"

That was definitely not the power that ordinary gunpowder could achieve when detonated. The black dragon's body was lifted up, and a large hole nearly two meters in diameter was blasted out of its chest where the carapace was peeling off.

Dragon blood, minced meat, and fragments of carapace scales sprayed around like a fountain.

The black dragon stood up and swayed, and was about to fall down again. At the last moment when it was about to lose its balance, it roared and spit out dragon flames.

With the recoil of its continuous breathing, it actually stood still again.

The incandescent blue flames swept past the hunters, instantly liquefying and even vaporizing the bricks and stones, triggering a series of explosions.

The black dragon swung its long neck, and its breath continued to sweep around, burning and shattering the heavy crossbows and artillery deployed in the decisive battle site.

The hunters had to flee in all directions to avoid being hit by the breath and the aftermath of the ground explosion.

After swooping and rolling with all his strength to avoid the flames, Gordon quickly stood up and raised his sword to block the hot and explosive gravel and shock waves on the ground.

He was about to give the next order when he saw the black dragon spread its broken wings and staggered away from the ground on the heat wave caused by the continuous burning of the breath.

When it came to the air more than ten meters above the ground, the black dragon adjusted its wings to maintain its hovering posture while opening its huge mouth and taking a deep breath.

The bright blue flame condensed in its mouth, and the light on its chest became as dazzling as the sun.

Seeing this, Ansir immediately aimed at the dragon's wing and fired a supernova, but the black dragon was well prepared, and the dragon's wing turned to avoid this crucial shot.

It's over!

Gordon felt a chill all over his body.

This black dragon was incredibly cunning. In the previous breath sweep, all the artillery and crossbows in the decisive battle field were destroyed, and it was impossible to use the restraining bomb to force it down.

Its height from the ground was just outside the maximum range of the flying claws. Even if Feng Ying used the Kinsect, she could only reach the position of its legs at most, and it was impossible to shoot it down.

The only hope of the supernova was also avoided by it.

They had no way to stop the black dragon's next attack.

Just when Gordon was somewhat desperate, there was a "clang clang" sound of hammers hitting metal behind him.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw Dao Wen and Isana on the high platform near the dragon spear, waving at them vigorously.

While they were struggling with the black dragon, the craftsmen finally finished preparing the dragon spears and the mechanical city gates!

Gordon immediately shouted and ordered: "Quick! Everyone! Go behind the city gate!"

In order to avoid the previous breath sweep, the hunters scattered around the decisive battle site rushed towards the movable city gate.

At this time, the attack preparations of the black dragon in the air were almost over.

It was too late!

Maka gritted his teeth, clamped the insect stick under his armpit, turned around and rushed towards the black dragon.
