Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

According to the original plan of Gordon and others, by analyzing the traces left by the Thunder Wolf Dragon Group in the ruins of the village, after confirming the approximate number of Thunder Wolf Dragons that attacked.

It's time to start tracking the footprints of his departure.

And the appearance of that Thunder Wolf Dragon disrupted their plans on the one hand, and on the other hand gave them a better target to follow.

——How can tracking traces be compared to directly tracking targets?

The purpose of that Thunder Wolf Dragon wandering around here may indeed be to look for food.

The two ball birds of Julius played their due role. The "croaking" of the ball birds came from afar, and the Thunder Wolf Dragon, which was one or two hundred meters away from the ruins of the village, suddenly raised its head and sniffed it twice. .

Then he ran at full speed in the direction where the two Marutori were fleeing.

Nadia, who was hiding behind a chimney on a certain roof, took his eyes off the scope and observed the Thunder Wolf Dragon visually.

The Leilanglong running at full speed is very fast, and she feels like she can't frame it with the scope.

"There is such a speed in the normal state. According to them, there is also a 'super-charged' enhanced state? It's really amazing nature."

Nadia whispered a few words to herself, put away the light crossbow, and jumped off the roof.

Thunder Wolf Dragon has chased Marutori into the woods, and she won't be able to see anything if she stays here. She knows Julius very well, and she should be about to move her legs next.

The four hunters met on the main road in the middle of the village.

Julius said directly: "We started tracking, and the Thunder Wolf Dragon will most likely return to the lair after filling its stomach, and it should be rewarding to attach it.

Pay attention to keep it in the downwind position as much as possible. Sulfur can cover up the smell, but it can't eliminate it. If you are not careful, you may still be found. "

Gordon suggested: "I suggest approaching and tracking by the pork chop. We will keep a safe distance of more than one kilometer and follow the mark left by the pork chop."

Julius nodded immediately, "It's a good way, Elu is less likely to attract attention."

"I want to go to meow too?"

Maybe it's because of Julius' stronger aura? Instead of jumping and shouting to go as usual, Xianglan put on an obedient appearance asking for advice.

Zhu Pa tightened the cat armor on his body, "Let's go together, meow, and you can run on both sides to send messages if necessary, meow."

"Good meow!" Xianglan followed suit and fixed the cat sword.

Two hunting cats galloped into the woods on all fours.

The hunters followed closely behind, with Julius leading the way at the front, Nadia in the center, Hayatta at the side for protection, and Gordon in charge of the rear.

Not long after, Panran ran back, "The two Marutori were eaten meow, the big guy slowed down, and started to go west, meow, Zhucho said be careful not to chase too close Meow."

The hunters nodded, and Pandan ran away.

The little guy seemed very excited to be able to participate in "special operations".

The hunting cats and the hunters started a long trail against Thunder Wolf Dragon in the stream forest.

After more than half a day, they followed Leilanglong for more than 30 kilometers, and this place has left the 50-kilometer radius circle centered on Jieyun Village.

Ahead is the territory of the Thunder Wolf Dragon they were following? Is it a temporary stronghold for the thunder wolf dragon group to counterattack? Or is it simply the headquarters of the ethnic group?

No one can tell, so we can only keep going.

Pandan ran back again, this time it was extraordinarily excited.

"It's fighting meow! Thunder wolf dragon and other monsters are fighting meow!"

Julius, who was at the front of the team, was stunned when he heard the words. The distance of one kilometer was not far, and they didn't hear any howls of large monsters fighting.

"Fighted with what monster? Fire dragon?" Gordon also came over.

There are not many monsters with the strength to confront Thunder Wolf Dragon head-on.

"Green Bear Beast Meow!"

Xianglan said while gesticulating, "Thunder Wolf rushed up and threw the Grizzly Beast down meow, and then slapped the Grizzly Beast to death with a few hits. !"

The hunters were a little helpless, they thought it was a turf fight, and the situation described by Xianglan could not be called "fighting", but a unilateral murder of the Grizzly Beast.

However, Julius, who is good at reconnaissance, has a wealth of knowledge about biology, and has an understanding of the habits of many monsters, saw something else.

He said to Xianglan: "Xianglan, go and call the pork chop back, don't follow him any more."

Gordon and the others were slightly surprised, but no one raised any objections.

After Xianglan ran to pass the message, Julius briefly explained, "Part of the reason is the aggressiveness displayed by the Thunder Wolf Dragon, and the other part is the intuition that the location of the lair should be approaching soon."

Gordon understood.

In fact, the "intuition" in Julius's mouth is not something too mysterious.

Instead, when the relevant experience is rich enough, the brain makes a subconscious summary judgment based on various information around it.

It seems that he is indeed approaching the lair soon. With this guy's character, he wouldn't say that without more than 80% certainty.

Pork chop pandan returned to the team, and the hunters followed the footprints left by Leilanglong for nearly an hour.

When they drilled out of the densely forested area, a huge canyon appeared in front of them.

Julius, the leader, stopped.

Without his instructions, Nadia nimbly climbed up a rather tall tree, observed and confirmed the surrounding terrain, and then returned to the team.

She briefly reported: "The canyon is very deep. After passing the pass, it should be a very large valley. The vegetation coverage inside and outside the valley is high. It is not a small probability that the Thunder Wolf Dragon will use the valley as a nest."

Julius pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Group, Gordon Hayatta, the two of you stay outside the canyon pass and hide yourself as a response.

Nadia and I will go into the valley to find out. "

"Okay." Gordon nodded.

His specialty lies in frontal combat and tracking. As for covert reconnaissance, it can't be said that he can't, but his level is more than one level behind Julius and the others, and his action speed can only be dragged down.

Hayatta's speed is fast enough, but the experience is too poor, and it is only natural that the two of them were left as support.

Julius and Nadia started unloading.

All kinds of supplies, including food, traps, and most of the magazines, have been left behind. They will enter the canyon as lightly as possible in order to maintain the highest flexibility and concealment.

"All the pit traps are left to you. After we enter the canyon, you will find a suitable place to set up traps near the pass.

There is no need to save, just arrange it all, and it can slow down the pace of Thunder Wolf Dragon when evacuating. "Julius handed over the mechanism of the trap to Gordon.

"no problem."

Julius continued: "I brought two flares, if you see a green signal rising, it means we are in trouble, but we are still within the scope of our response, and we are ready to respond.

If it is red, it means that the number of Thunder Wolf Dragons in the valley far exceeds expectations, so don't hesitate to evacuate quickly.

Bring the news back to Jieyun Village as quickly as possible, seal the village to prevent it from being defended, and at the same time send a peregrine falcon to send an urgent message to East Doruma, asking the guild to send elite support immediately.

Let me emphasize again, if it is red, it doesn't make any sense for you to stay. Nadia and I are faster, and the probability of escape is higher. "

Gordon was silent for a second, nodded and said, "I see."
