Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Accelerate! Continue to accelerate!"

"The boiler is running at full capacity!"

"Then overload! Do you want to be chased by that guy!?"

"Breath! Avoid!"

On the Dragon Knowledge Boat, there were endless yells and screams, and the terrifying ancient dragon, which was a full circle larger than the Dragon Knowledge Boat after spreading its wings, was chasing after it. It was impossible to say that it was not afraid.

"It is also accelerating slowly, and it will be caught up if it continues like this!" the pilot shouted.

The investigation team leader waved his hand, "Its climbing speed is not as fast as ours! Distribute more power to the vertical engine, the airbag continues to heat up, and it is rising at full speed!"

The boilers were screaming, the engines were roaring, and the hull and cables were constantly creaking under the strain.

The original purpose of the design of the Longshi Ship was to be a "air research room" with a smooth flight, rather than a fast-moving aerial speedboat like the current one.

Fortunately, the Longli Institute has invested a lot of resources in this dragon consciousness ship, the keel made of giant beast bones, the sail made of fire dragon wing membranes, and the hull strengthened by various monster carapaces.

Even after the completion and sailing, the strengthening project has not stopped, and the hunters of the Dragon Calendar Academy can receive the task of "strengthening the Dragon Consciousness Ship" from time to time.

It is also thanks to these enhancements that this giant skyship survived the entanglement and pursuit of the mysterious ancient dragon.

"Southwest direction! Pillar of smoke!" The lookout put down his binoculars and reminded loudly.

The captain of the investigation team quickly ran to the ship's side, "The mill is ready! Take the one behind to the direction of the smoke column! Continue to climb at the same time!"

To be honest, it is still unknown whether the smell of burning gunpowder and sulfur can really attract the mysterious ancient dragon behind, but at this time, I can't care so much.

Get answers from practice.

On the city wall, the Metabeta hunters on the city wall heaved a sigh of relief as they watched the Dragon Sense Ship flying in the direction of the mill with the ancient dragon.

The city was saved, at least temporarily.

President Jerome grabbed a guild member, pointed at the still raging dock area, and said loudly: "Let the vice president take people to organize rescue and fire fighting!"

After saying this, he turned around and yelled at the hunters on the city wall: "Hunters with three stars and below continue to garrison the city wall, and support the hunters on Yinbian when they see the opportunity!

Hunters with four stars and above follow me to the mill and drive away the evil dragon there! "

Gordon, who was accumulating power and preparing for a real power slash, shifted his gaze for a moment. President Jerome was leading a dozen elite hunters to the mill where the gunpowder was buried.

That old guy has obviously also experienced fighting against super giant ancient dragons, and he knows that Metabeta's city walls of more than ten meters and less than twenty meters are useless in front of monsters of that size.

It will collapse after a few hits. The only dragon gun on the city wall may be useful, but it must only have a chance to be activated once.

It's better to concentrate the elite force to take the initiative to attack, try to delay its pace and weaken its physical strength.

As for the result, leave it to fate.

Saying take care in his heart, Gordon withdrew his attention, the preparations for the real charge slash were complete, he swung his big sword with a low drink.

Perhaps for the convenience of movement, the head and chest of Ge Mantis are not protected by a thick and thick carapace, which should be regarded as its weakness.

Even so, the hardness of the carapace, which seemed to be made of gold, was still astonishing. Gordon was deeply impressed by the experience of holding the epitaph sword and almost failing to break through the defense.

Fortunately, the great sword he is currently using [Shenwei] will not cause such troubles.

The sharp hook-shaped claw blade has a unique advantage in breaking through defenses.

The big sword shaped like a dragon's jaw slashed down, and the claw blade was deeply embedded in the gap in the carapace of the thorax of the mantis. As the sword continued to drag, the carapace was torn apart, and a huge, more than one meter long hole was cut at the chest of the mantis. Wound.

Emerald green blood soared, Ge Mantis screamed and wanted to turn over and stand up.

The slender, sharp and powerful legs were swinging "Kaka", trying to find a support point and turn over.

One leg finally supported the ground, and it seemed to be about to succeed.

Hayata, who was attacking the abdominal segment, suddenly interrupted the attack, rolled to the front of the leg, stood up and stabbed a whole set of air blade combos in an instant, followed by the air blade whirling with even more precision The joints are heavily protected by the carapace.

"Gee-"

Ge Mantis screamed and fell back to the ground.

Gordon immediately rushed forward to adjust his position, and came to the side of Ge Mantis's head, preparing for a new round of charged slashes. Anshir also entered a squatting posture and fired continuously at an astonishing speed.

From the beginning of the battle, Ge Mantis has been suppressed.

As an ancient dragon-level creature recognized by the guild, even if it didn't control Ruins City, it shouldn't be so embarrassed.

But the supernova really blew it up a bit, and Gordon's subsequent rounds of charged attacks also severely injured it.

This is the importance of seizing the opportunity, except for those super giant ancient dragons with rough skin and thick flesh, which are exaggeratedly large, this strategy is suitable for almost any target.

Preemptive strikes can seize the initiative.

However, this is only temporary.

Flame-like red light ignited from the eye-like purple gland on the crown of the mantis' head, and the sharp hissing sound seemed to tear people's eardrums apart.

It twisted its abdominal segment and swung the dragon spear with silk thread, forcing the hunters around it back, and the inertia of dancing the dragon spear also helped it turn over and stand up again.

"Hey!!" There was another ear-piercing scream.

Although it is not a language that humans can understand, anyone can feel the boundless anger from it.

The queen was furious.

"Be careful!" Gordon shortly avoided the sharp legs swept by the mantis, "Its speed has become faster!"

Not only the nearby swordsmen, but even Anshir, who was shooting from a safer position dozens of meters away, also received "care" from the Queen.

The dragon-striking spear danced by the golden worm silk turned into an afterimage and smashed towards the shooter.

An Xier hurriedly hugged the heavy crossbow and ran to avoid it. The dragon-striking spear fell behind him, and the seven-eight-meter-long steel spear head sank nearly half of the ground.

If such an attack falls on a human being, even if it is equipped with sophisticated armor, it will be shattered into blood mist.

Ge Mantis swayed its body, and the golden worm thread pulled at the end of the dragon-striking gun was instantly tensed. With a bang, the dragon-striking gun inserted into the ground was pulled out like this.

"Tsk."

Such a scene made Anshir, who kept running, looking for a relatively safe shooting position, couldn't help being speechless.

There are many sharp barbs on the head of the Dragon Shooting Spear, and the force drawn out from this submerged Dragon Shooting Spear is much more terrifying than throwing a Dragon Shooting Spear.

The same is true when manipulating the Iron Ruins City. It is really difficult to understand the body structure of this creature. The power displayed when manipulating objects with worm silk is much stronger than when directly wielding the arms and legs of a knife.

On the other side, Ge Tanglang, who drew back his dragon-slaying spear, swept it around him, preparing to repel the hunters who were approaching again.

Its learning ability is very strong, and it has been used successfully before, so it will be used frequently.

It even intentionally lowered the height when swinging the dragon gun, so that hunters could not avoid the attack by rolling.

In the face of such an attack, most great swordsmen have no particularly good way to deal with it other than to fight hard with their swords, but Gordon is different.

He was very grateful that he learned that move from the Bushido-style great swordsmen of Longli Academy.

Facing the dragon-striking spear sweeping head-on, Gordon accelerated his feet, jumped up at the moment he was about to be smashed by the dragon-striking spear, and turned his back to avoid the dragon-striking spear.

Turning in the air and landing on the ground, while continuing to charge forward with big strides, the big sword in his hand swung up and slashed, causing the mantis to retreat back screaming.

This kind of life-and-death attack that seizes the opportunity seems to be particularly conducive to the accumulation of "courage".

Gordon breathed a sigh of relief and entered a state of courage.

At the same time, Hayata, who had avoided the attack with a sword, stared at Ge Mantis.

There was also a blue light in her eyes.
