Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The human tongue can be said to be the most picky among all creatures.

Creatures that humans find delicious must also be delicious to other monsters, such as mammoths, spirit deer, and mushroom pigs.

The poisonous dragon cub must be no exception.

It is estimated that this inconspicuous little thing acts as a decomposer, while scraping and eating the corpses in the "monster cemetery" day and night, it also acts as the base of the permafrost ecological chain.

Together with snow deer and other herbivores, it has become the main prey target of many middle and lower predators, including Sleeping dog dragon.

Otherwise, relying on the terrible reproductive ability of the poisonous dragon like a childbirth machine, abundant food sources, and not bad combat effectiveness in adults.

This weird-looking species is long overdue to dominate the permafrost ecosystem.

Such speculations about the food chain circled in Gordon's mind, but this did not prevent him from preparing to "pack" some more back home and bring them to Xiaohuali and Anshir to taste.

Maybe it can become a special dish at the celebration?

After confirming the "edible value" of the poisonous dragon cubs, the hunters are very energetic.

They rested early and got up before dawn the next day. After making all preparations, they set off with the moon and stars above their heads, just to get to the cave yesterday earlier.

Since it can encounter unhatched eggs, the Poisonous Dragon should not be very far from there.

Since the goal was clear, this route has been walked back and forth twice, and they are already familiar with it. The hunters arrived at the target cave in just two hours this time.

At this time, the sky has just been polished.

After lighting the "torch" above Babaka's head, a group of people entered the dark cave.

The hunters still maintained the same diamond-shaped formation as yesterday, but Ted, who opened the way, and Gordon, who was cut off, switched positions.

——In terms of trace tracking, Gordon will be stronger.

They continued to explore the depths of the cave.

For safety reasons, the team moved slowly, and Babaka was protected in the middle as the light source. With the illumination of the fire, everyone carefully observed all directions in the cave.

Ten minutes later, Gordon stopped suddenly.

There was a forked passage ahead, and he raised his fist to signal everyone to be alert.

The ground in the cave is either rock or ice, very hard, even if a large monster passes by, it is difficult to leave footprints.

Gordon could only try to find other clues to confirm the direction of the monster.

Fortunately, he had a discovery, but not at the feet, but at the top of his head.

With the light of the fire above Babaka's head, Gordon noticed that there was a little white mark left on the top of the cave, which seemed to be the trace left after some liquid dried up.

It's hard not to think of the thick layer of mucus on the surface of the poisonous dragon cub.

Gordon made two gestures, and everyone's footsteps slowed down, and they moved forward as silently as possible along the side passage.

Pig Chop and Pandan stared at the two pairs of cat pupils that focused on the light, and were alert for any abnormality that might appear on the top of the cave.

After walking slowly like this for a while, when they came to a huge cave space of thousands of square meters, Xianglan's sight suddenly froze.

It wanted to say "meow", but felt that this was not professional enough, so it pulled out the cat sword and tapped the ground twice.

The hunters stopped immediately and focused their gaze on Pandan.

Pandan raised the cat sword and pointed in a certain direction.

Gordon and the others squinted their eyes, and there was something vaguely hanging on the edge of the top of the huge cave. Because the distance was too far and the light was too dim, it was hard to see clearly.

There are only two irregular purple fluorescent lights, which are slightly conspicuous.

Gordon first quickly confirmed that there were no other dangers around him, then put his palms together and waved his fingers forward.

Ted at the end of the team immediately approached, set up a large shield gun, and moved forward side by side with Gordon, slowly approaching.

As the fire broke through the darkness, it gradually illuminated that dark corner.

The hunters finally saw clearly the strange figure hanging from the top of the cave.

Even Gordon, who had faced countless monsters of different shapes, from the big wild boar to the ancient dragon, couldn't help frowning at this moment.

In terms of the "weird" appearance alone, this guy in front of him can be said to be the most well-deserved number one among the monsters he has personally come into contact with.

...before that was Strange Dragon.

This is a monster that is difficult for people to associate with the word "dragon".

There are no scales or carapaces, sticky, wrinkled pale soft skin covering its whole body, and its belly is conspicuous red, also full of wrinkles.

It seems to have no head and tail, the head and tail are almost exactly the same shape, and both have ferocious ring-shaped mouthparts, which makes people inevitably think of blood-sucking worms such as leeches.

The only thing related to the flying dragon species seems to be the pair of white flesh wings.

It's just that there doesn't seem to be any strong bones in the pair of relatively wide wings, and the flying ability is estimated to be terrible.

"Giginabra (poisonous monster dragon), 'the most disgusting flying dragon in the world', it really lives up to its reputation..." Gordon murmured to himself.

The appearance of the fire caught the attention of the poisonous dragon hanging on the top of the cave.

It squirmed its soft body, and turned the purple fluorescent strips, which were eyes or some kind of luminous glands, towards the hunters.

It hates firelight.

"grumble--!"

A deterrent piercing hiss sounded, and the poisonous dragon was enraged.

However, there was no wavering in the hearts of the hunters.

"Damn it, even the sound of screaming is disgusting." Tedra lowered his helmet, his mouth was not clean.

Gordon smiled lightly, "Everyone, get ready to fight."

Hayata began to run, looking for an opportunity to cut into the fight.

Maka waved the insect stick habitually, pointing forward, "Chi Chi, bite it!"

The hunting insect flew out, and just halfway through the flight, Maca seemed to think of something, and quickly danced the insect stick twice, and the silent buzzing from the whistle at the end of the stick called the hunting insect back.

"You should come back, injecting the essence of this monster is really disgusting"

Maca's face was full of disgust, "I knew this thing would be so disgusting when it grew up, so I wouldn't have eaten so much last night."

Gordon: "."

The poisonous dragon hanging on the top of the cave was the first to attack.

It swayed its soft body back and forth, and several balls of purple stinky venom sprayed out from its mouth, throwing it towards the hunters.

The preparations were slow and obvious, and the ballistic speed of the venom ball was very slow, almost like a free fall.

Even the slowest Ted has plenty of time to react and dodge.

Seeing that the attack was in vain, the poisonous monster spit out a few more globs of venom, and the hunters avoided it again.

The scene was inexplicably stalemate, and the defect of no shooter in the team was fully reflected at this time.

Any of the four swordsmen would be sure to defeat the Poisonous Dragon in a one-on-one battle, but this guy was hanging on the top of the hole twenty or thirty meters above the ground, and the closest point of his head to the ground was also seven or eight meters high.

Swordsmen can't touch it.

Veins popped out of Ted's bald head.

He raised the muzzle of the blunderbuss gun high, and fired several shots at the poisonous monster dragon.

However, his 62-type assault gun modification is not a "radiation type" with a long range of shelling, but a "normal type".

At this distance, the projectile will only be slid away by the mucus on the surface of the poisonous dragon.

Gordon looked at Maca helplessly.

"Got it." Maka waved the insect stick, and once again directed the hunting insects to fly to the poisonous monster dragon.

"Madam, try, can you fly up and knock this guy down!"
