Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

This underground space occupied by unknown monsters as a lair is not small, about more than a thousand square meters.

The cave is very dry, unlike most monster lairs, full of fishy smell.

The surrounding area is empty, there is no "nest" built by branches, straw, etc., and there is no filth such as bones and feces. There is only a large pile of crushed ore of different colors. was abandoned.

After quickly checking the surrounding environment, and noticing that the lair has two other openings for entry and exit besides the passage they came in, Julius said to Anshir:

"Anshir, watch out for the three entrances and exits."

Anshir nodded, and found a place with the best view that could monitor the three cave entrances at the same time, and set up a heavy crossbow to be on guard.

"Let's start looking."

"Um."

Julius and Gordon walked towards the only possible location for Gunpowder Rock—the pile of colorful rubble.

As the hunter who found Gunpowder Rock said, it's not hard to find.

Gordon and Julius pushed aside a layer of crushed ore, and six or seven oval-shaped dark red rocks with rough surfaces appeared in their sight.

"Don't tell me, if I didn't know that they were rocks, I would have thought they were eggs, and the shape was too regular, right?" Gordon wondered.

Julius took off his wrist armor, and gently stroked the gunpowder rock with his palm, "The temperature is around 60 degrees, and if you continue to hold it, it will indeed cause low temperature burns.

Gordon, try it, can the Charmander suit block this temperature? "

Gordon also pressed his hand on the gunpowder rock. After a while, he shook his head and said, "It will be better, but not for too long."

Julius nodded his chin lightly to express his understanding, "Then let's try to hurry up, Gordon, you hold one first, feel the weight, and take two more if you are sure."

Gordon picked up a gunpowder rock with one hand and weighed it, "No problem, it's not too much of a burden for me, but the size is a bit in the way."

After that, he bent down and picked up the second one.

"Change the formation, I will lead the way, Gordon is in the middle, Anshir is in the rear, let's go!" Julius snorted lightly, and took the lead in walking towards the passage they came from.

Gordon was holding two gunpowder rocks the size of watermelons, and he swayed as he walked, but his speed was not too slow. This is the advantage of being tall and strong!

Anshir, who put away his heavy crossbow, followed at the end. From now on, he had to take on at least half of the security and defense tasks.

Gordon, who used both hands to carry the gunpowder rock, couldn't draw out his weapon to defend himself. If it really came to the point where he had to draw out the big sword, it meant that everything had to start all over again.

The spirits of the three of them were completely tense.

The two- to three-hundred-meter-long passage soon came to an end, and a dozen meters further on, you will come to the magma lake in the mountainside, which is also the biggest difficulty on this route.

Julius, who was at the front of the line, raised his fist and made a "pause" gesture.

He turned his head and said to the two companions who also stopped slowly: "You guys take a short rest, I'll check the situation."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the entrance of the cave quietly alone.

After cautiously poking his head out of the hole to observe for a while, Julius stepped back again, his expression not very good-looking.

"What?" Gordon asked: "The lava beast is still squatting at the entrance of the cave to guard us?"

"That's not true," Julius denied.

However, most of them are still lingering on the side of the lava lake near the entrance of the cave. If we go out now, it is certain that we will be discovered.

"Then what should I do, should I use a sonic bomb to open the way?" Gordon looked at the gunpowder rock in his arms.

Although the physical strength is still sufficient, at this moment, the place where the inner side of the arm is in contact with the gunpowder rock already feels a bit burning.

Julius thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No need, my dual swords are light weapons and are flexible enough, so I will rush out first to attract the attention of the lava beast and even the Yan Gelong.

You guys wait for a while before going out, walk out of the cave and run in a straight line towards the outside of the mountainside, Anshir, don't fire unless you have to.

Even if we fire, we should focus on deterrent shooting. Don't kill the lava beast, otherwise we will be targeted by Yan Gelong, and we will be in big trouble. "

"OK."

"no problem."

"Gordon, let's drink the forced medicine, and drink another bottle of cold drink. If you have already started to burn, drink the recovery medicine as well." Julius said while adjusting the positions of the entire pair of sword straps.

Gordon raised the gunpowder rock in his hand, indicating that he had no hands.

Anshir rolled his eyes, walked up, took out three bottles of potion from the item bag behind Gordon's waist, opened the bottle and poured it into him.

"You can't move more gently, it's all spilled out." Gordon smacked his lips and complained.

An Xier saw the expression of dirty things, "It's good to feed you medicine, talk a lot of bullshit, don't give medicine for burns after a while, just reply and hit you on the forehead!"

Gordon gave a dry laugh.

I almost forgot that Anshir's crystal rifle can be reloaded with rebound bullets.

This kind of special ammunition made by reconciling recovery medicine and hollow fruit has no lethality, and it can help recover injuries when shot on teammates, but it hurts a bit.

"The forced drug has also worked, so get ready to run wild." Julius, who also drank a bottle of forced drug, moved his limbs, gave Gordon a signal, and rushed out alone.

"Hey!" Julius shouted after running out of the hole.

The lava beasts with keen hearing were instantly attracted by his yelling. At least seven or eight lava beasts yelled "Gawu Gawu", climbed up the lake bank, and moved their four short legs to surround him.

Julius didn't run away immediately, but continued to shout and wave his arms to attract more lava beasts' attention.

It wasn't until the fastest lava beasts were about to charge in front of him and surround him that he suddenly pulled out the "sacred saber", raised the two swords above his head, and struck together.

"Clang!" With a clang, red light spread from the point where the two swords collided, covering Julius' whole body in an instant.

Demonization!

His heart was beating fast, and the blood in his body was rushing through his veins at a speed several times faster than before.

With a flip of his wrist, the two swords in his palm turned into backhand grips, Julius bent down, and in the next second, his whole body turned into an afterimage and jumped out.

The surrounding lava beasts couldn't stop his pace at all, and after turning around a few times, he had already rushed out of the encirclement of the lava beasts.

"Fucking speed." Gordon, who was secretly watching the situation outside with Anshir, couldn't help but swear.

This is the first time he has personally experienced the strength of Julius, who is known as the "Chief of the Young Generation".

Even if the opponent hasn't really made a move yet, this speed alone has left most of the hunters, and even the dual swordsmen, beyond the reach.

After breaking out of the encirclement, Julius did not run too far.

Instead, temporarily withdraw from ghost-humanization, slow down, and while recovering physical strength, wait for the lava beasts to approach again, and then repeat the previous steps.

Step by step, lead them away from the entrance of the burrow.

"It's a little bit worse, a little bit worse." Anshir said to himself, constantly estimating the number and distance of the lava herd.

When more than 80% of the lava beasts in the magma lake surrounded Julius, Yan Gelong was also attracted to the moment.

An Xier yelled softly: "It's now, let's go!"

The two rushed out of the underground cave one after the other.
