Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Precise defense (gp)?" Feng Ying knew the word, but not particularly.

Gordon and Anshir looked at Hayatta. In this team, if anyone is best at precision defense, it is Hayatta.

The so-called precise defense does not refer to a specific move, but refers to a type of method in general.

At critical timing and critical angles, blocking or deflecting the monster's attack with a relatively small force is the so-called precise defense.

Hayata's recent crazily obsessed with Gang Qi Blade Slash and Juhe Slash are the best examples. Fengying's commonly used wireworm skill - fully charged defense is also a very typical precision defensive move.

In fact, Gordon has also studied this technique.

When facing monsters whose size and strength are not so exaggerated, he is used to confronting monsters head-on, swiping his sword to break the monster's attack, and then take advantage of the situation to counterattack and suppress the monster.

Although it has not yet formed a fixed move, but in a broad sense, it can also be counted as precision defense.

As for the courage to evade (Y round), and the cutting cut that Hayata also often uses, there are some differences.

These are precise dodges, but in terms of results and core concepts, there is not much difference, and it is not a bad idea to attribute them to precision defense.

"It's really too abstract just to describe it in words." Altman raised his voice and shouted, "Gail, go get two pairs of shield axes for training."

"Yes!" Gail, who was squatting in the corner like a mushroom like a mushroom, stood up with a huge cat helmet on his head. He subconsciously answered yes loudly, and then asked awkwardly, "Where can I get it?"

"Training Camp."

"That's so far away"

"Go for a run! Treat it as daily physical training!"

"Oh" Gail ran away muttering.

Gordon looked at this scene and was a little surprised. The Miss Gail in his impression was a disobedient person. Why is she so obedient today?

A rare expression of schadenfreude appeared on Anshir's face, "In the training camp, it was Instructor Altman who was in charge of discipline.

The rude woman who was dressed casually and spoke dirty words was the one who was beaten up by the instructor the most.

Tsk, speaking of this guy, I almost forgot that I haven't 'repaid' for giving me a random nickname last time.

Later, spend some money to find some people, and pass one out to her. What should I call it? Gail with the cat head? Gail who doesn't dress well? "

Fengying answered casually, "Gail from Nema?"

"Isn't that good?" Hayata smiled dryly.

An Xier was silent for two seconds, and nodded, "Although I don't know why, and it's a swear word, and I probably won't be able to keep it in the end, but that guy is good to be disgusted.

Fengying, I thank you on her behalf. "

"Concentrate!" Altman reprimanded with a dark face.

It was only now that he realized exactly that the guys in front of him, whose strengths and records were not inferior to the veteran high-ranking hunters, were still in their twenties, young people who acted erratically.

Fengying and the others quickly shut up and stood up straight.

Taking a deep breath and adjusting his emotions, Altman looked at Fengying again, "Before Gail brings the shield ax for training, let me see your defense level and put up the shield!"

Gordon and the others hurriedly stepped aside, leaving Fengying alone.

Seeing the burly old hunter take down the gun and large shield from the weapon hook on his back, Fengying shivered.

This old guy wouldn't want to hit himself with a dragon cannon on the spot, would he? ? !

Fortunately, no, Altman himself is a person who values ​​rules, and of course he will not violate the iron law that hunter weapons cannot be used against people.

He put the gun on the ground beside him, thought for a while, and put down the big shield.

Before Fengying could breathe a sigh of relief, Altman said coldly, "Get ready."

Fengying hurriedly stepped on the shield, lowered her center of gravity, and entered a defensive stance.

After glancing at Fengying's defensive posture, Altman knew that someone had adjusted his movements specifically for Fengying.

The center of gravity is lowered, and the angle of the shield is more obvious. This posture helps her petite figure to stabilize her defense, but it requires higher strength and risks.

For the same attack, if the conventional shield defense posture cannot withstand it, you can use the appropriate use of retreating steps, jumping back to relieve the force, and ease the impact. Even being knocked into the air may not be a bad thing.

However, Fengying's center of gravity is extremely low, close to a squatting defensive posture, and she can hardly retreat, which is equivalent to exchanging flexibility for defensive stability.

If the defensive posture is broken, it may be directly shot to death on the ground.

If some adjustments to the details of the movement can erase the advantages brought by the size, the good defenders will not be almost all big.

Small people are not suitable for carrying hard, the child needs to realize this.

Altman walked up to Fengying who was holding a shield.

Gordon, who was onlookers, thought that the old instructor would charge and shoulder or something. With such a physique and such super-heavy equipment, a big wild boar king could be overturned.

But he didn't do that, instead he raised his foot and stomped on the edge of Fengying's receding shield with all his strength.

The strength of this kick may not be comparable to those of those large monsters' attacks, but the tricky angle made Fengying very uncomfortable, and her body swayed immediately.

Altman didn't give Fengying a chance to breathe and adjust, and mercilessly stomped his feet up again, and Fengying, whose center of gravity was messed up, fell to the ground.

Altman was condescending, looked down at her, and said in a cold tone: "Get up, continue, this time you can use Xiang Chong."

Fengying bit her lip and set up her shield again, and Altman raised her foot again.

In the end, there was no difference. Xiang Chong's iron worm wire helped her to block an extra kick, but that was all.

Feng Ying once again sat down on the ground in disgrace.

Hayata felt a little distressed, and opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say anything, Fengying couldn't bear even this setback.

Gordon was lost in thought, and he somewhat understood the purpose of Instructor Altman's doing so.

If it were Ted, a defender with a height of more than two meters and a weight of more than a hundred kilograms and a "standard size" defender would not sway in the face of Altman's kicks, even if the center of gravity was slightly shifted. It can also be adjusted instantly.

More powerful attacks can also be adjusted quickly through the back jump.

But Fengying was too small and too light.

The defensive skills Shui Yun taught her are of course useful, and the existence of skills and wireworm skills can make up for the shortcomings to a certain extent.

But flaws are flaws.

The center of gravity is lowered, and the hard-loaded defense can only be used for emergency, and frequent use will cause problems sooner or later.

"Are you aware of your problem?" Altman stared at Fengying and asked.

Fengying got up from the ground and nodded, "In the standard defensive posture, I'm too light, and I'm easily knocked into the air by monsters.

With a low center of gravity defensive posture, I am not so easy to be knocked into the air, but because it is difficult to adjust my pace to unload the force, in the face of continuous attacks, the defense will soon be broken. "

Speaking of this, the shield on Fengying's right arm hangs down a little.

"I'm not fit to defend"

A smile appeared on Altman's face, "That's wrong, what you are not suitable for is the defensive defense, that is, blocking in the traditional sense, no matter how hard you work on this road, you can't get far.

But precision defense is a completely different direction.

Size is irrelevant, explosive power, instant judgment of timing and angle are the key to precise defense.

This is your way of defense. "

Ps.

Regarding the so-called "detours", the main characters in this book have all gone through them. After all, detours are inevitable in the process of growing up, Gordon's non-standard forced storage, Anshir's grit, and Hayata's fanaticism.

These things that seem to be wrong later can help them through a period of time.

Fengying's growth is also similar. In the early days, she had no brain solution, and later learned defensive skills with Shui Yun, and insect defense was a tricky version of gp.

The heavy weapon gp in this book is a very high-end skill, it is impossible for Fengying to learn it from the beginning, but now, the time is almost right now.

In the future, more than one person in the team will "ding"
