Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

This is an answer full of conjectures, assumptions and uncertainties.

But hunters are not judges or prosecutors. They often rely more on "intuition" to judge things.

After a brief exchange, Gordon, Hayatta, and even Anshir, who was the most calm and rational in the team, all agreed that Metabetat was the answer they were looking for.

"The course is set to the direction of Metabeta, sail as fast as possible, and hope to warn before the attack occurs." Gordon said to the investigation team leader:

"Also, is there any peregrine falcon on the Dragon Sense Ship? I want to send an urgent message to the First Elder."

"Huh?!! Is that the decision?" The captain of the investigation team stared, "Don't you need to ask for more evidence?"

As a scholar, he doesn't quite understand the brutalist thinking of hunters. In his opinion, or in the opinion of most scholars, this decision is too heavy a "gamble".

"The attack may happen at any time, there is no time." Gordon waved his hand, "All we can decide is our team and the movement of the Dragon Sense Ship.

The urgent letter to the First Elder can only be said to be for reference only. To be honest, even if the First Elder agrees with our judgment, it will be too late for the headquarters to send reinforcements after this letter comes and goes. "

"But."

The investigation captain was about to say something when he was interrupted by Anshir again.

"Metabeta is the most likely location to be attacked according to the current analysis, even if the probability is only one-third, one-fifth, or even one-tenth, we can only go.

There are so many cities in the whole continent, how to confirm? If you guess correctly, you may be able to turn the tide of the battle, but if you guess wrong, you will be in vain. It is better than hesitating and being unable to help at all. "

The captain of the investigation team pursed his lips, his eyes became serious, "I understand, I will immediately arrange to adjust the course and sail at full speed.

There are still two peregrine falcons that can fly to East Doruma, but it's a pity that they didn't bring Metabetat's peregrine falcons, otherwise they could have given early warning.

However, at the speed of the Longshi ship, it should be able to arrive at high speed cruise for about 20 hours. "

"It's okay, it's fast enough."

Gordon patted the boy on the shoulder, "We have done everything we can, no matter what the result is, we will have no regrets."

Under the arrangement of the captain of the investigation team, the Longzhi ship began to climb,

Burning rocks and carbon were continuously fed into the boiler, and the power propellers were rotating at high speed. This seemingly cumbersome airship gradually increased its speed and headed for the northern night sky.

The three of Gordon seized the time to eat and rest.

When I woke up, it was already the morning of the next day, and in another four or five hours, I would be able to reach the sky above Metabeta.

They began to hurry up and prepare.

There are two possible enemies this time, Ge Mantis, and the mysterious monster with black oil on its body.

The weak attributes that can be determined by the former are thunder and water, which were tested by Anshir with crossbow bullets at that time.

Fire should also be effective, at least the kind of silk thread that can be cut with a knife can be burned with a little flame.

The dragon attribute has no effect at all. The epitaph sword used by Gordon in the first confrontation with Ge Mantis was never "activated" once.

The latter's body is unknown, its weakness is unknown, and it is impossible to make targeted preparations at all.

The only information that can be confirmed is that the guy can cause a big fire. After all, the black oil is viscous and flammable, and the ruins of the destroyed fortress are also burning with raging flames.

Gordon and the others couldn't help feeling sorry for Hayata's luck again.

The biggest weakness of the Black Erosion Dragon suit is the fire. Last time when he fought against the Black Flame King, he was only burnt by the embers, and he suffered serious burns.

And two days ago, she just changed into the Purple Poison Princess suit, the armor of the two fire dragons, and it goes without saying how high the resistance of the fire attribute is.

Otherwise, it would be a bit of a headache to face the flame attack.

In terms of weapons, Gordon chose the great sword [Shenwei], which is the first time he has used this great sword in actual combat. The ceiling-level destructive power and excellent sharpness make this great sword suitable for almost any situation .

As always, Anshir also brought a fierce moment [Shigure], which is also a heavy crossbow with strong versatility, very suitable for launching water-cooled bullets and normal bullets, and it can be said to be Anshir's favorite.

Hayatta was caught in a tangle.

When she set sail from Berna Village, she boarded the boat with six swords on her shoulders, with the mentality that there was a Dragon Sense Ship anyway, and she would not wear anything in vain.

Facing the speechless eyes of Gordon and the others at that time, she could only blushed and explained, "That's how Tai Dao Shi is."

In fact, she also knows that it may not be accurate to say so.

The attribute sword is just one of the options. If you have a good enough physical sword, you can calmly deal with all situations.

However, the Xunlong Taidao she has used for many years, the night sword [Moon Shadow] is a little outdated.

Of course it can be used, but in terms of pure destructive power, this physical sword can no longer make up for the advantages brought by "targeting attributes".

But it's still in Hariyatta's options.

After all, it is said that there are six swords, but there are not so many options to choose from.

The dragon sword of the dragon attribute [Red Lotus], the flying dragon sword of the poison attribute [Sakura] are excluded, the sharpness and power of the Nanban sword [Same Zan] are slightly inferior, and the demon Zanpakuto is excluded.

The only remaining options are the night sword [Moon Shadow] and the fire-attribute flying dragon sword [Black Yao].

After choosing and choosing, she still brought the night knife [Moon Shadow], on the one hand, she was not familiar with the feel of [Hei Yao], on the other hand, the mantis may not be weak, and the mysterious monster must not be weak.

Just kidding, burn down two fortresses, and monsters that scatter flammable and explosive black oil along the way will be weak? That nature is too wonderful!

Hours before reaching Metabetat.

Hunters, cats, and dogs are all spent checking equipment, checking props, counting crossbow shells, and polishing weapons over and over again.

In the sunny afternoon, the Dragon Consciousness Ship sailed at full speed for almost a whole day and night, and finally arrived at the sky above the city of Metabeta.

Looking at the still intact city defense, Gordon and the others let out a sigh of relief.

caught up.

The huge shadow cast by the Dragon Consciousness Ship when it arrived shocked the soldiers stationed on the city wall, and some even rang the bell directly to sound the alarm.

Since the news of the attack on Giovadreo and the guild's declaration of a state of emergency, the city has been tense.

After all, the last city that was attacked was not too far away from them. Even with the simplest and most direct thinking, this is one of the cities with the highest probability of being attacked on the entire continent.

As a result of this nervousness, the landing dragon ship was targeted and locked by the heavy bed crossbow on the city wall.

Against the glare of the afternoon sun, the soldiers and hunters on the wall couldn't quite see what the shadow was.

If the captain of the investigation team hadn't reacted quickly enough and rang the fog bell on the deck in time, the ship's side and bottom would have been drilled a few holes by his own people.

Without any danger, the alarm was lifted.

The Dragon Consciousness Ship still failed to land completely, after all, Metabeta had not built any special facilities for the Dragon Consciousness Ship to dock.

This trip came suddenly again, and they could only hover in mid-air above the city wall, fix the hull with anchor cables, and then rely on rope ladders and ziplines to get up and down.

Regarding this, the hunters and Ailu have long been used to it.

Only Gaefeng couldn't get used to it. As a dog, it was too difficult for him to climb the rope ladder and slide the rope.
