Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

This was Hayata's first real battle after she decided to become a hunter.

——The mushroom pig killed half an hour ago does not count.

Fortunately, the opponent is the strange face family.

Compared with their size, these guys are not as good as Ai Lu. When facing opponents whose size is much smaller than their own, it is always difficult for human beings to feel a sense of fear, and it is not easy to lose control due to fear.

Unfortunately, the opponent is a large group of strange faces.

These croaking little monsters are not only agile, but also know how to cooperate. Hayata and Pig Chop have to cover each other back to back, lest there be a surprise attack from behind by the odd-faced people.

In order to clear the siege for his partners, Gordon rushed into the strange-faced formation like a wild boar king charging at full speed. When he came to Hayata and the others, the scene of the latter fighting made him grin.

When he found that he was still unable to use a single-handed sword freely and could not kill these agile odd-faced people at all, Hayata resolutely gave up the fighting mode of swinging the sword.

Instead, she used the one-handed sword and the small round shield as a defense to block the attacks of the odd-faced tribe, but her only way to counterattack was to kick

The scene in front of him looked a little funny, but Gordon soon discovered that this "attack method" was extremely effective against the short odd-faced people.

Wrapped in iron and hard leather, the pointed greaves on the head are heavy and strong. It may be difficult to cause real effective damage to the strange faces with the strength of Hayata, but they can be easily repelled.

I don't think about killing right now, I just want to protect myself. To deal with these little things that are only a little higher than the knees, kicking is indeed much more efficient than bending over and slashing.

Occasionally, there are some negligence, but with the help of pork chops, it can be stabilized quickly.

Gordon was pleasantly surprised by Hayata's clever and flexible response. In this case, he didn't have to stay in front of her like an old hen guarding her cubs.

You only need to kill and injure as many Qimian tribes as quickly as possible, and you will be able to open the situation smoothly.

After instructing the pig again to protect Hayata, Gordon let go of his hands and feet completely. He crossed his legs, twisted his waist and swung his arms, and swung his big sword in the circle surrounded by the odd-faced tribe, slashing wantonly.

Compared with a one-click attack, the more powerful vertical slash, charged slash, and horizontal slash, which sweep across a large area, are obviously more suitable for the current situation.

Gordon, who was sweeping around like a whirlwind, broke the formation of the strange faces in an instant.

When there were only one or two opponents before, it was not easy for the big sword to hit the target, but now there are so many odd-faced tribes around, and they can't dodge under mutual interference, and the explosive knife can always hit some unlucky ghosts from time to time.

Even if the odd-faced clan was hit by a powerful explosive knife capable of cutting through the flesh and blood of a large monster, even if they were lucky enough not to be cut in two, they would lose their fighting power in an instant.

Such a high-frequency attack of continuously swinging a big sword is very exhausting, but Gordon is very excited by the successive victories. More importantly, he feels that he seems to have mastered a little bit of what Amos called "controlling inertia". .

It's not about forcefully changing the trajectory of the sword swing.

Instead, through the continuous fine-tuning of the joints and muscles of the whole body, it guides the sword's posture and brings the inertia into control.

"Hey, ha!"

The heavy Explosive Knife cut off the strange-faced people who couldn't dodge in front of them with a single swing.

The steel giant blade with unfinished momentum did not stop, but was further injected with power under the control of both arms. While changing the angle, it drew a circular arc at a faster speed, and quietly approached from behind. The face clan easily beheaded.

Gordon was absorbed in this wonderful feeling.

In the past, it was sluggish and cumbersome, but it would only prolong the attack and increase the inertia of the opening, as if it had turned into another pair of invisible arms, and the originally heavy explosive knife became light and agile at this time.

It was another heroic but not reckless swing of the sword, when the Qimian clan in front of him fell down screaming and became one of the countless corpses strewn across the ground.

The few remaining odd-faced clansmen in the surrounding area finally collapsed, burrowing into the grass amidst bursts of terrified screams, and fled in seclusion.

The explosive knife covered in blood and flesh fell heavily to the ground. Gordon looked at his trembling hands completely exhausted, but a joyful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

From then on, the inertia brought about by the heavy weight of the great sword will no longer be a burden.

Seeing the retreat of the Qimian Clan, Hayata, who gritted his teeth and persisted until now, finally couldn't help it, and sat slumped on the ground.

For her who has not experienced enough devil training and her physical fitness is still at the level of ordinary people, after running around in the mountains and forests for most of the day, and also experienced a real battle, her physical exertion has already approached the limit.

However, the battle isn't quite over yet.

In terms of his own combat power alone, even if he tied up the entire group of Qimian clan, he could not compare with the king of the Qimian clan. Even if he faced Amos, who was a high-ranking hunter, he could not lose the wind alone.

It doesn't have the muscles that are so strong that it seems to break the skin of the big wild boar king, nor does it have the fangs and claws that are standard for top predators, and it can't soar in the sky like a fire dragon, breathing out flames.

But with the frightening power emanating from that skinny body and the agility of a loach, it is enough to make it an opponent that any hunter must devote all his energy to be vigilant about.

After paying a little attention and confirming that Hayata and the others have dealt with the Qimian tribe, Amos couldn't help showing a smile at the corner of his mouth.

After a few minutes of fighting, he has roughly figured out the strength of the king of the strange face clan in front of him.

Different from ordinary monsters, the strength of the odd-faced tribe, which has an IQ and intelligence similar to that of humans, largely depends on their own training and combat experience. The lower limit is extremely low but the upper limit is extremely high.

The extreme ones, even the eight-star and nine-star hunters would have a headache when they saw it.

And although the King of the Odd Face Clan in front of him is very strong, it's not to the point where he can't handle it, and the two little guys over there are almost tempered.

That being the case, it's time to settle the fight.

Facing another flurry of combos wielding his scepter crazily by the King of the Odd Face Clan, Amos changed his strategy of focusing on parrying, and suddenly turned around and slid back, the shimmering ice-blue sword in his hand fluttering in the air. Draw a beautiful track.

The feet are clearly on the ground, but they seem to be gliding on the ice, which is unbelievably smooth.

"See you."

Amos gave a soft drink, and while he was sliding to avoid the swing of the King of the Odd-faced Clan, he seemed to be accumulating energy, just when the king of the Odd-faced Clan's attack had just been emptied, the old power was exhausted, and the new power was not born. .

As if springs were installed under his feet, he took a big step forward by virtue of the inertia of his incessant retreat, and the forked sword tip of the white ape in his hand was like a poisonous snake letter, "swiftly" towards him. Check out.

A short but unusually deep wound was left on the shoulder of the King of the Odd Face Clan.

Faint hoarfrost spread on the wound of the King of the Odd-Mian Clan. Due to the ice-attributed damage attached to Bai Yuanzha, its wound was frozen and did not bleed much, but its movements became stiff because of this.

"Gah!" the king of the odd-faced clan screamed.

This is the most serious injury it received today. If it were an ordinary Qimian tribe, it would have completely lost its ability to resist and even died from this blow.

But it stretched out a withered palm, and grabbed the frozen wound. While grabbing the frost, it used the severe pain stimulation to relieve the numbness caused by the freezing, allowing the body to return to normal. control.

The blood spattered from the ruptured wound splashed on the weird headgear of the King of the Odd Face Clan, and the fire flashed, and the eyes hidden under the mask suddenly became more bloodthirsty and crazy.

"Quak-cha!"
