Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Start the attack!" The captain of the ship ordered loudly.

Then the urgent horn sounded.

Dozens of short spear-like heavy crossbow shells shot out, and the artillery on the Dragon Fighting Ship also fired.

With the ancient dragon as the imaginary enemy, the specially developed heavy-duty bed crossbow and artillery are astonishingly powerful. Even a super-giant ancient dragon with rough skin and thick flesh like Lingshanlong will inevitably feel pain under such an attack.

"Roar--"

The roar that made the earth and the sky start to vibrate sounded again.

Gordon, standing at the bow, covered his ears like everyone else.

Even the "ear plug" effect of the Canghuolong suit is not completely immune to the roar of Lingshanlong.

This is not at all like the sound that biological vocal cords can make, but closer to the dull and continuous roar of natural disasters such as earthquakes, flash floods, and landslides.

roared.

Gordon thought that Lingshanlong would immediately launch a counterattack, but he didn't expect it to lower its head and sneak into the sea of ​​sand.

The captain of the boat shouted loudly: "Scatter! The sand boat continues to scatter! Everyone hurry up!"

Before he could finish his words, a pair of giant fangs broke through the sand in front of the Dragon Striking Boat.

The Lingshan Dragon that rushed out of the sand pushed up the bow of the dragon-fighting boat with its chin, and the whole boat tilted almost over 40 degrees.

Gordon, who was also overturned, slid down the deck. Fortunately, he stretched out his arm in time and grabbed the mast, so he didn't fall directly off the ship.

Seeing that Lingshanlong lowered his head slightly, he opened his huge mouth and was about to crush the bow of Fengshanmaru directly.

Before he had time to stand up, Gordon stretched out his other arm, picked up the hammer hanging by the mast, activated the mechanism with the dragon gun in front of the mast, and slammed it down hard.

"Zi--"

The roar of clashing steel and steam came from inside the hull. Driven by the ultra-high pressure steam, the huge dragon gun at the bow rotated at high speed and shot out.

"boom!"

With enough force to smash the city wall, the Dragon Striking Spear hit the dragon tooth on the left side of Lingshan Dragon.

This blow did not seem to cause substantial damage to Lingshanlong, but it successfully pushed the dragon-fighting boat away from Lingshanlong's huge mouth, and the hull fell heavily back into the sand sea.

"Well done Gordon!"

The captain of the ship quickly turned the rudder to help the dragon-fighting boat return to its sailing posture, while praising it loudly.

The dragon gun is driven by high-pressure steam, and it reloads very slowly. As a killer weapon against ancient dragons, it usually requires the command of the captain of the ship to activate it.

But in the situation just now, don't care about the order or not.

It was already a great achievement for Gordon to activate the dragon shooting gun in time to prevent the Lingshan dragon from gnawing on the bow of Fengshanmaru.

Seeing the dragon attack boat being attacked, the sand boats cruising nearby frantically fired restraint bombs at Lingshanlong.

This kind of giant crossbow projectile has sharp barbs, which can be firmly stuck into the monster's body, with great power.

At the same time, the end of its arrow shaft is also connected to a strong rope, which can bind the sand boat and the Lingshan dragon together, thereby restraining the latter's actions.

Lingshanlong's attention was temporarily drawn away by the sand boat, and the dragon-fighting boat temporarily returned to safety.

The crew who had just been thrown off the ship also took this opportunity to climb back to Mineyama Maru with the safety rope hanging around their waists.

But not everyone can climb back.

At the stern, someone is responsible for keeping an eye on the safety rope.

If someone fell into a coma or was seriously injured when they fell into the sand, they would cut the safety rope to avoid secondary injuries caused by prolonged dragging.

The sandy sea is not an ocean, and there is no risk of drowning. The fishing fleet following the sandy boat group will rescue the injured and help them deal with their injuries.

In just the first wave of attacks, the Dragon Fighting Ship suffered heavy losses, with nearly one-third of its staff reduced.

The speed of Lingshanlong's sneak attack was too fast, far higher than that of ordinary Fengshanlong. Many crew members on the deck had no time to respond, stabilize their bodies, and were thrown off the ship.

If it weren't for the soft sand, the casualty rate might have doubled again.

Glancing at the remaining personnel on the deck, the captain quickly ordered, "Hayatta, take the position of the No. 1 gunner, go to two people, and help control the mainsail!

Mary Dan, be ready to hit the gong! The dragon gun is still cooling down, its next attack can only depend on you! "

——The big bronze gong that has been passed down since ancient times can emit special sound waves that are difficult for human ears to hear. When it is struck suddenly, it can shake the mountain dragon back from the peak very well, and it should also be effective for the Lingshan dragon.

"Damn, got it!"

Mary Dan shook the yellow sand in her hair, cursing.

She was also thrown off the boat just now, relying on the sturdy equipment on her body and the agile skill of the hunter, she was not injured.

But it's embarrassing!

The dragon attacking boat quickly regrouped, and the roar of artillery and the clang of heavy bed crossbow strings sounded again.

The sand boats over there trying to control Lingshanlong with restraint bombs have been overturned several times.

At this time, the light and small hull has become the advantage of the sand boat.

As long as it is not completely smashed, or the occupant is seriously injured.

Even if the hull capsizes, you only need to disconnect the restraint elastic rope in time to avoid dragging, and then straighten the hull, and you can quickly return to battle.

"The first team and the third team retreated first, and together with the fifth and sixth teams, attacked from a distance. The second and fourth teams fired restraint bombs to attract Lingshanlong's attention."

The captain of the ship steers the helm with one hand, holds the binoculars with the other hand, and loudly directs the sandy fleet fighting with Lingshanlong. The horn-bearer and standard-bearer continue to send out signals to convey the order.

"All weapons! Aim at Lingshanlong's left abdomen together and attack intensively!"

Under the instruction of Hayata, Gordon kept adjusting the position of the muzzle, while the pork chop struggled to carry the shells.

The wrist armor made of Canghuo dragon skin with excellent fire resistance helped him ignore the scalding temperature of the gun body. With constant calibration, the hit rate of Hayata's artillery was getting higher and higher.

Under the pain of Lingshanlong, he dived into the sea of ​​sand.

A sand ship disconnected the restraint bullet rope a little later, and the base of the heavy bed crossbow was directly torn off from the hull, leaving a big hole in the hull, so it had no choice but to withdraw from the battle.

Lingshanlong disappeared on the sand, which made everyone on the Dragon Fighting Boat nervous.

Mary Dan even directly raised her hammer [Daihuwan], planning to use it to strike gongs later, she was not used to that "small" hammer.

However, Lingshanlong's target this time is not Fengshan Maru, but those sand boats.

It rushed out of the sand sea, and its giant teeth directly smashed a sand boat into pieces, and another sand boat was overturned by the sand waves it raised.

At the same time, a large number of sandfish swimming in the depths of the sand sea were also carried by the sand waves and jumped out of the sand surface, cruising around.

A big three-meter-long guy just landed on the dragon-fighting boat, and its long and narrow mouth full of sharp teeth opened and closed "click, click, click", which was very threatening.

While bouncing, its huge tail swept away, and Hayata, who was busy firing cannons, was staggered.

Although Hayata was not injured, she was rather annoyed, and pulled out the Flying Dragon Knife, ready to kill this annoying guy first.

But at this moment, a harpoon shot out, piercing the sand fish's body precisely.

A sand fishing boat passed by the dragon-fighting boat, and the harpooner on the side of the boat dragged the rope, and dragged the sandfish, which was still alive and kicking, out of the dragon-fighting boat with the harpoon.

"Hahahaha, leave these fat fish to us to deal with!"
