Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The giant cocoon is completely made of that kind of astonishingly strong golden thread.

You don't need to guess, you know, this is the "cockpit" prepared by the mysterious monster to protect itself from manipulating the giant mechanical beast without interference.

Facing this kind of tough silk thread that can be peeled off with a knife, the pork chop doesn't even have the desire to pull out the cat sword.

At this time, it is extremely fortunate.

Although I learned how to transform into a ghost a few days ago, I scratched a lot with my claws recently.

But in essence, I have always been a Bombcat.

"Fry you meow!"

Pig Chop took out all the incendiary bombs in the luggage, and threw them on the giant golden cocoon with a crackling sound.

On the giant cocoon, flames rose.

However, what the pork chop didn't expect was that this kind of silk thread would become fragile under the flame, but it was not flammable.

The scene where the raging fire ignited and the mysterious monster inside was roasted together did not appear, but several small holes were burned in the golden cocoon.

"Hum--"

Sensing the danger, the giant mechanical beast roared, its sharp tail lifted like a scorpion, and it slammed down towards the location of the pork chop.

The pig chop quickly jumped to dodge, and the falling steel giant tail directly shattered the boulder it was standing on.

"Scared meow!"

At this moment, a series of barks came from a distance.

"Wow! Wow!"

"It's Gale!"

Gordon shouted in surprise from below, "Pork Chop! Ready to retreat!"

"Understood meow!"

Pig Chop jumped onto the giant cocoon, stood on the edge of the holes burned by the incendiary bombs, and looked inside.

Its line of sight met the mysterious monster in the giant cocoon for a moment.

"Gee!"

The mysterious monster wrapped in countless silk threads let out a sharp hiss.

Not to be outdone, Zhu Chop bared his canine teeth, "Look at you!"

As he spoke, a flash bomb was thrown in.

A strong light erupted inside the giant cocoon, and the giant mechanical beast trembled violently. If it weren't for the golden silk threads still firmly fixing various parts of the giant mechanical beast, it might have begun to disintegrate at this time.

The pork chop jumped from side to side and flew down quickly.

And Gordon, who had ridden Gale, was also sprinting towards it.

"Boom—!"

The mysterious monster recovered from the stun effect of the flash bomb screamed angrily, and the sound turned into a low roar under the resonance of the metal components, resounding through the underground cave.

The giant steel tail, dragon gun, silk thread, and all kinds of messy things were thrown at the pork chop.

"Pork Chop! Jump!"

"Meow!"

While the pork chop ventured down, Gale also took off high, but the timing of the two was not very good, and they were about to pass by each other.

Fortunately, Gordon leaned out in time and fished it with his big hand, just in time to catch the tail of the pork chop.

"Meow meow meow?!"

The pork chop that was being held upside down screamed, but Gordon didn't have time to pay attention to it.

"Gale! Run!"

"In the end what happened!"

Shaking left and right, on the slowly rising airship, Ms. Duda asked loudly.

The noise of howling wind and sand is endless. If you don't shout like this, the people around you can't hear it at all.

"I can't tell at the moment! The mechanical giant has appeared!"

Anshir pointed in the direction of the ruins of the castle, "Anyway, get the airship close first, but don't lower it too low, at least 30 to 40 meters above the ground! Then lower the rope ladder!"

"Let's go talk to the driver!"

Duda brought Anshir to the side of the driver, and Anshir repeated the request just now.

"That altitude is too dangerous!"

While trying to control the steering wheel, the pilot shouted: "It is dangerous to launch an airship in this wind, the terrain in the ruins is complicated, and the low air flow is too chaotic!

If you hover at a low altitude, it is easy to have an accident! "

Anshir was too lazy to argue with him, and directly pulled Ms. Duda aside, "That is an unprecedented ancient dragon-level creature!

Its core is an insect less than fifteen meters long, but it can control tens of thousands of stone and steel parts, and assemble it into a monster that is not inferior to a super giant ancient dragon!

Miss! You understand the danger of this creature, only Gordon has fought it and has information about it!

Whether it is for the guild, for the Longli Academy, or for the countless towns in the southern part of the mainland, this information is more important than anything else! "

Ms. Duda rolled her eyes helplessly while being surprised at the mysterious creature Anshir described.

This guy was full of nonsense, he really opened his mouth, and the most important thing was that his words were just and well-founded. Does he really deserve to be of the blood of the Sterling family?

Although he had no intention of giving up on the hunter named Gordon, the other members of the advance team might not be willing to risk their lives to save people.

So we have to use the principles of "ancient dragon-level creature", "information that only Gordon possesses" and "it is related to the safety of countless people" to convince everyone, right?

Ms. Duda stretched out her finger and poked Anshir's forehead, then walked to communicate with the driver.

With the concerted efforts of the crew, the transport airship swayed and bumped, but continued to fly in the direction of the castle ruins.

Anshir hurried to the side of the ship, set up the heavy crossbow, adjusted the scope to high magnification, used it as a telescope, and locked the wellhead leading to the underground cave.

This is their only entrance.

The airship moved forward with difficulty, the turbulence became more and more serious, and the speed became slower and slower.

The pilot who was holding the steering wheel tightly was sweating, and the sweat was stained with the fine sand blown by the strong wind, making his face look ashamed.

He yelled at the top of his voice, "I can't go any further! The airflow around the large building is even more chaotic. If you go any closer, you will be photographed on the castle!"

"Try to hover! Maintain altitude!" Ms. Duda responded loudly.

"With such a strong wind, there is no way to hover!"

"Then maneuver the airship to circle!"

Anshir's eyes were fixed on the mouth of the well, and he was not sure whether Gordon, pork chop, and Gale could escape in time.

"Roar Rumble Rumble—!"

A low, muffled roar sounded faintly from the ground, and even the harsh wind could not completely cover it up.

"What's the sound, an earthquake?!" the crew member with sharp ears asked loudly.

"have no idea!"

Immediately afterwards, the ground trembled violently.

In the area near the castle ruins, the dilapidated building ruins collapsed in pieces, and the ground was slightly raised, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

Anshir's gaze turned to the uplift of the land, and his face was frighteningly gloomy.

Of course he knew what the giant that was about to break through the surface was, but

"Look! Someone is running out!" A crew member on the side of the ship pointed in one direction and shouted loudly.

Anshir suddenly turned his head to look.

Riding Gale, carrying a pork chop, Gordon rushed out of the ancient well that had been dry for many years, and was rushing towards the airship on the not-so-wide road.

And behind them is the land that is getting higher and higher.

"Get off the rope ladder!" Anshir yelled.

The heavy winding ladder was thrown down by the crew, but the length was slightly insufficient, and it didn't even touch the ground.

"Quick! Go down a little more!"

"I'm doing my best!" the pilot was also yelling, slowly pushing down on the elevator.

However, at this moment, a strong wind blew in, forcing the empty boat to float upwards.

"Rumble rumble—!"

The earth split open.

The first thing to be lifted out of the ground was a wedge-shaped head made of steel. It opened its huge mouth full of iron teeth, and let out a bell-like roar.

Everyone on the airship couldn't help but grow their mouths.

Although everyone has heard about the mechanical monster, "hearing" and "seeing" are completely different things.

The airship was still rising slowly against the wind.

"Hey! Bastard! Come down!" Anshir almost turned the muzzle to point at the driver.

"The wind is too strong! I can't go down, I'm going out of control!" The driver's face was sweating, and there were grooves on his dusty face, making him look embarrassed and funny.

Just when Anshir was about to lose his mind and had dangerous thoughts like snatching the rudder.

The gale chasing behind the airship seemed to have broken through some kind of bottleneck, and its speed suddenly increased.

It didn't need anyone's command or prompting, it jumped onto the wreckage of a building with its left and right leverage, and used the broken stone roof as a springboard to jump violently.

"Wow!"

Using its teeth and front paws, it climbed up to the end of the rope ladder floating in mid-air.

"Nice job!" Anshir almost jumped up, he danced and shouted: "Quick! Go up! Pull them up!"

The airship swayed between the strong winds, riding the wind, and rose to a higher sky.

Below, the giant mechanical beast raised its neck and opened its mouth, trying to bite Gordon Gale and the others hanging at the end of the rope ladder, but it was a step too slow and gnawed away.

He could only watch the transport airship passing through the wind and sand, rising into the clouds, and finally disappearing at the end of his field of vision, and roared unwillingly.

"Boom buzz --!!!"

A frighteningly large tooth hound, a heavily armored hunter who is also five big and three thick, plus a hunting cat that can only be counted as a fraction.

It took a lot of effort for the crew to finally drag these sunken guys onto the deck of the empty boat.

At this moment, Ms. Duda just felt lucky that their winding rope ladder was made of iron chains, which was strong enough, and they had to use a slightly inferior cable.

It's probably all broken.

Gordon, pork chop, and Gale, lay on their backs on the deck, panting heavily.

Anshir's stinky face came into Gordon's sight.

The latter couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahahaha!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Anshir couldn't help cursing.

"Working hard and getting nothing, but isn't that interesting!"

Ps.

That, that, that, of course, is impossible to beat——

According to the description in the game, the Ge Mantis guild summoned an "unprecedented level of power" including the air units of the Longli Academy, and finally completed the crusade.

Now it is too exaggerated to be able to hunt in two.

The reason why Ge Mantis is allowed to play once is that with the setting of this monster, it is basically impossible to kill it at the first sight in real encounters.

It is definitely necessary to be aware of the existence of such things first, and then collect intelligence, organize forces, and arrange tactics in order to kill them.

The plot of the real hunting mantis will be a long time later, so it can be regarded as digging a hole first.

However, it is also mentioned in the settings that the ecological niche and combat effectiveness of the mantis in the normal state are lower than that of the ancient dragon, while the mantis in the "market city" state can be regarded as high-ranking among the ancient dragons.

In this way, for real considerations, it is the most correct way to arrange a team of masters to find an opportunity to kill the driver before the Gundam starts (why do I think of Mercury Witch's shot tomato?).

But the novel can't be written like this, and it's too trivial and boring. Is the Ge Mantis without Gundam still called Ge Mantis?
