Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

After the two thunder wolf dragons really walked away, Nadia and Julius came out from the hiding place.

Without much communication, Nadia took Julius directly to the next sniper location.

The two kept changing positions, repeating this process, luring Thunder Wolf Dragon to appear.

The small monsters were not so easy to find. After nearly two hours, Nadia only found two more dog dragons, two spirit deer and one mushroom pig.

The dog dragon's lure effect is very good, perhaps because the dog dragon itself is a carnivorous monster, the howling can always attract the thunder wolf dragon, and coupled with the smell of the dye bomb, the dog dragon has nowhere to escape.

The role of Linglu and Mushroom Pig is very general. The movement made by shooting three herbivores only attracted Leilanglong once in total.

Of course, it might also be because Thunder Wolf Dragon was alert.

Julius gestured to Nadia to pause the action.

In the next half a day, they circled the edge of the rift more than once, while constantly observing from a distance, they used different methods in different areas to provoke the Thunder Wolf Dragon's attention and lure it to appear.

Including marking small monsters with colored bombs, shooting smelly bombs at distant trees, sniping deer from a long distance, spreading the smell of blood, etc.

By comparing the differences in appearance, it can be roughly confirmed that there are three Thunder Wolf Dragons inhabiting the valley.

Of course, this conclusion is not rigorous, after all, the possibility of other Thunder Wolf Dragons going out and wandering cannot be ruled out.

But at least what is certain is that there is no "large group" that they are most worried about.

This result made Julius and the others slightly relieved.

It seems that more Thunder Wolf Dragons should still be scattered in various territories in the northern part of the Western Continent, and have not really gathered.

This is undoubtedly good news.

The ones who destroyed the village should only be the same clan temporarily summoned by the "King" who has not yet shown up, or it may be the "Guard" similar to the Kama Weasel Dragon King who always surrounds him.

Three five-star dangerous monsters, plus a king of unknown strength, were in line with Gordon's previous judgment.

This is a scalp-tingling force for any hunter.

But in front of their three teams and even more hunters in Jieyun Village, although it is still a headache, at least it is not to the point of despair.

It seems that the red flare can be saved.

Looking up at the darkening sky, Julius decided to try again, if he couldn't force the king out, he had to retreat first.

Staying in the monster's lair for reconnaissance at night is an act of death.

People's visual sensitivity will drop sharply in a dark environment, but the opposite is true for most monsters.

He passed his idea to Nadia, who thought about it and decided to engage in Boda.

The two first quietly came to a relatively open area, which was Nadia's stage for the king's debut.

In fact, it is mainly for the convenience of observation.

Then, Nadia took out all the armor-piercing grenades she was carrying, inserted them into the ground one by one, and manually disarmed the safety.

After thinking about it, she also took out the few flame bombs on her body and piled them together as additional ingredients.

Julius watched all this blankly.

He had known for a long time that his partner was a hidden explosive maniac. For this reason, she especially liked pork chop, and would chat a lot about explosives with pork chop every time.

Before leaving, Nadia threw a few more flash bombs into the pile of ammunition, and then left contentedly.

The two sneaked back to a position near the exit of the canyon.

Regardless of whether the sound and light effect caused by Nadia's messy feeding can attract the king of the thunder wolf dragon clan to appear, they will evacuate after that.

Each of them found a hiding place to hide. Nadia set up the ballista and pulled the trigger towards the pile of ammunition two to three hundred meters away.

The crossbow bullet hits accurately.

"boom!"

The armor-piercing grenade that was hit exploded.

Since they were not special explosives, these ammunition did not explode at the same time at the first time, but scattered everywhere.

Some detonated in the air, some exploded after falling on the ground, and there were a few direct duds.

This caused an unexpected deafening sound, but the crackling lasted for a long time. Some duds were scorched by the plants ignited by the flame bombs, and it took a long time before they exploded.

The effect of the flash bomb was unexpectedly good, and the strong light from the explosion could be clearly seen even on the other side of the rift valley.

The originally calm rift suddenly became restless.

This is the first time that the sound of gunpowder explosion resounded through the land, countless birds soared into the sky, and small animals hidden in the forest ran around crazily.

In the depths of the rift valley, there were bursts of long angry howls.

"Aww—!"

The Thunder Wolf Dragons were completely enraged.

Although those dye bombs and odor bombs were annoying, they only stayed at the level of smell. They thought that a red-armored beast had entered the canyon.

However, the stimulation caused by the sound of explosions, flames, and strong lights is completely on a different level.

Three thunder wolf dragons roared out, they easily jumped up the steep cliff with a slope of more than 60 degrees, and galloped to the open area where explosions still sounded from time to time to investigate.

But they are not what hunters are looking for.

Nadia and Julius still stayed in their respective hiding places, did not get up, and waited quietly.

Finally, a dazzling golden thunder exploded in the deepest part of the rift valley.

The larger and stronger figure of the Thunder Wolf Dragon leaped across the deep valley like lightning, and came from the bottom of the valley to the open place on the edge of the rift almost in the blink of an eye.

The hunters' pupils shrank suddenly.

Come, this is the "Golden King".

The arrival of the leader of the Thunder Wolf Dragon caused the other three Thunder Wolf Dragons to lower their heads and retreat to the side.

This difference in status is even more obvious than those monster groups such as Velociraptor, Dog Dragon, and Big Wild Boar.

Compared with the restless Thunder wolf dragons, the leader surrounded by golden thunder light was extraordinarily calm. It didn't roar in anger, let alone panic.

He just walked slowly through the shallow craters left by the armor-piercing grenade explosions, lowered his head and sniffed twice, then raised his head, as if in deep thought.

Julius and Nadia in the distance seized every second to observe the leader Thunder Wolf Dragon.

Using the surrounding trees as a reference, it can be roughly judged that the length of the head and tail of this leader Thunder Wolf Dragon is about 20 meters, and the overall size gives the impression that it is nearly twice as large as the ordinary Thunder Wolf Dragon.

As the night gradually fell, the light gradually dimmed.

Julius and the others were not quite sure whether the hair of the Thunder Wolf Dragon itself was golden, or whether it was turned golden by the special golden electric current.

Of course, this is not the point.

Julius focused his gaze on the terrible scars all over the leader Thunder Wolf Dragon's body, especially the left shoulder, which lacked a large piece of muscle.

This even caused its footsteps to be a little unsteady.

And the surging golden thunder light also made him quite concerned.

He clearly remembered that Gordon and the others said that the Thunder Wolf Dragon had to be "charged" to enter this special state called "supercharged".

This has also been confirmed by several other Thunder Wolf Dragons.

However, this golden guy has always been in this thunderous appearance since he appeared.

Did it finish charging ahead of time? Or...it doesn't need charging at all?

Just as Julius fell into brief contemplation, the leader Thunder Wolf Dragon's gaze suddenly turned to the bushes and rocks where the hunters were hiding.

The dangerous gaze that seemed to be a real entity made the hearts of the hunters stop beating.

Fortunately, the strong nerves that had experienced Gu Long's "exercise" made them wake up immediately.

Julius directly fired the green bullet in his palm, jumped up and yelled at Nadia.

"run!"

Ps.

Many book friends have mentioned the problem of Jin Leigong, here is an explanation

First of all, this is not Jin Leigong. Jin Leigong should refer to the "two names" with a particularly long root horn. Right now, this end can be understood as the other "Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon".

After all, the name "Jin Lei Gong" in X belongs to the kind of existence that is famous in the legend of a certain place, and it doesn't match the situation in Jieyun Village.
