Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

On a small fishing boat going to an isolated island.

Gordon and Hayatta sharpened the harpoon with a whetstone.

These one-and-a-half-meter-long harpoons made of iron ore are naturally impossible to compare with the weapons forged by hunters using various high-grade ores and refined alloys.

Improper storage is also easy to rust.

But as long as it is polished well, at least it is very handy for spearfishing.

Az was manipulating the sail while explaining to them the function of the harpoon.

"Shark skin is very tough, but it needs to be intact to be useful. If you use a hunter's weapon, the skin will be chopped into a mess if you are not careful.

Therefore, if you want to obtain the skin of ancient sharks, you usually use a harpoon to attack, aiming at their mouth and gills to ensure that the skin is as complete as possible. "

Gordon and the others heard this and polished it harder.

Aziz was very skilled in manipulating the fishing boat. Under the sea breeze, the boat moved forward quickly. After more than an hour, he came to a sandy bay on the northeast side of the isolated island.

The three of them worked together to drag the fishing boat onto the beach, and fixed it with iron anchors to prevent the boat from drifting away when the tide was high.

"Ah, I really miss it!" Az built a canopy on his forehead with his palm, and looked around for a while.

"There are a lot of crabs on this beach. When I was a child, I liked to come here to catch the sea, but there will also be monsters like shield crabs here. It's a bit dangerous, and my parents usually don't let them come."

The bright sunshine of the southern country, the delicate and soft sandy beach, the clear sea water, and the coconut trees in the distance.

If it weren't for the existence of monsters nearby, it would really be a good place for vacation.

Gordon squeezed his chin, recalling the scene of chasing shield crabs on the beach with Brother Ted.

If it was that elder brother, he would probably carry the wine barrel and come here for vacation, right?

"Should we go to the camp? Or start hunting directly?" Aziz asked Gordon.

"Is the camp far away?"

"It's not too far, just over a kilometer."

Gordon nodded, "Then let's go there, identify the location, and check the equipment at the end."

This has become Gordon's habit. Knowing where the camp is, he always has a bottom line in his mind.

On the way, they encountered a few small ornithosaurus monsters with pink and purple skins, slightly smaller than Athlon, but 60 to 70% similar in appearance.

They have a very violent temperament, and when they see a "animal" that is not that big appearing in their territory, they immediately launch an offensive.

Then it was solved by Hayata chopping melons and vegetables.

Xianglan was a little scared, but under the urging of the pork chop, she still held up the cat pick to help a little.

It can be regarded as seeing blood.

"Let's go, there is no need to strip, just a few dog dragons."

"Are these monsters called dog dragons?" Hayata looked at the corpses carefully again, "I thought they were called 'Fen Velociraptors' or something."

Gordon twitched his lips, "It is true that some people like to call them that, but in terms of biological classification, they are not in the same family as the blue velociraptors.

Blue, white, red, and yellow velociraptors are all velociraptors, and dog dragons, poisonous dogs, sleeping dogs, jumping dogs, etc. are dog dragons. "

Az looked at Gordon in shock, "So you still know about biological classification, but I thought you couldn't read."

Gordon kicked Aziz, and continued to explain to Hayata: "The velociraptor family is widely distributed in various parts of the mainland, while the dog dragon family is mainly concentrated in the south, the South China Sea islands, and the western mainland.

You have been active in the northern part of the mainland before, so it's normal if you haven't seen it. "

"I see." Hayata nodded and remembered.

After arriving at the camp without any surprises, taking a short rest, and filling their stomachs with the food they carried, Gordon and the others carefully inspected the armor and weapons, as well as the driftwood counterweights hanging on the equipment.

Xiang Lan was a little confused at first, but later, under the guidance of Zhu Pai, she checked the straps and buckles of the acorn cat armor step by step.

Before setting off again, Aziz gave two harpoons to Gordon Hayata. After thinking about it, he also gave pork chops and pandan one, and he carried a small bundle on his back.

"You guys don't know how to throw a harpoon, so just hold it in your hand and poke it. If the harpoon breaks or gets stuck, it's not worth a lot of money." Az moved his arm, "It's been a long time since I threw a harpoon. The harpoon is gone, I hope the head is still there."

The group left the camp.

Az had come to this place many times when he was a child and when he was training as a hunter, so he was very familiar with it.

Taking Gordon and the others to take various shortcuts and drill trails, after more than 20 minutes, they came to a semi-enclosed bay surrounded by huge rock walls.

"This is the best place!" Az said with a happy smile: "The reefs and rock walls separate this side from the open sea, making it difficult for large monsters to come in.

The water flow is stable, and the water is not too deep. I remember that the deepest place is only a dozen meters away. It is most suitable for beginners in water warfare like you. "

"Is there a shark in here?" Gordon looked around, but he didn't seem to find any large fish.

"No." Az denied it as a matter of course.

Gordon and Hayata looked at Aziz together.

Are you kidding us?

Az, who noticed the unkind eyes of the two, waved his hands again and again, "It's just that there is no way now, there is a way to attract them."

As he spoke, Aziz walked into the water, looked left and right, and suddenly threw out the harpoon in his hand.

The waves splashed, and after a while of churning on the water surface, the blood-red color drifted away, and a tuna about one meter above the water surface.

"Haha, it seems that my craftsmanship hasn't regressed yet!"

Azi dived down, and after a while, dragged the tuna that was still bouncing from time to time and swam back.

Instead of hauling the fish ashore, he stood waist-deep in the water and gutted the tuna with his pocket knife, blood staining the waters.

"Attract the sharks with the smell of blood?"

"Yes."

Aziz abandoned the dead tuna and returned to the shore, "Sharks have a very good sense of smell, and after a while, sharks within several kilometers can smell the smell.

Their size is just enough to pass through the reefs in the water. Just wait here. It will take about ten minutes, and they will definitely appear. "

So three people and two cats sat in a row on the bank and waited.

The first shark came faster than Aziz expected. In just three to five minutes, a pair of triangular shark fins appeared on the water in the bay.

"Aha, here we come!" Aziz, who obviously just came to guide, was more excited than Gordon and the others.

Put on the helmet, and the first deep fish jumps into the water.

Gordon and Harjatta put on their breathing masks, grabbed their harpoons, and followed them into the water.

Panlan was a little frightened, but was pulled by the tail by the pig chop and dragged into the water.

The sea water, which was scattered with fish blood and foam, was slightly turbid. Gordon roughly identified the direction, paddled his limbs, and swam towards the direction where the shark appeared.

But their movements were still slow.

After entering the water, Aziz was like a real swimming fish, galloping towards the shark.

The ferocious shark opened its huge mouth and bit at him. With a slight swing of Aziz's hands and feet, the whole person dexterously slid to the side for a certain distance, easily avoiding the shark's mouth full of sharp teeth.

Immediately afterwards, he held out the harpoon in his hand.

The sharp harpoon is inserted through the gills on one side of the shark's head and drilled out through the gills on the other side.

The shark, who was still aggressive a second ago, convulsed and died instantly, turning over on its belly.

At this time, Gordon and Hayata, who were paddling hard, had just arrived nearby.
