Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

A malicious thought of "Let's see how you get down" skipped through Gordon's mind.

Then he watched the dragon hunter casually grab a cable, slide down quickly while tapping his foot on the mast to release the force, and then easily fell back to the deck.

It seems that he has long been accustomed to this straight-up and straight-down approach.

Before the surprised people could applaud, the dragon hunter blew his whistle again.

A small flying dragon, about the same size as a snake dragon, but with a much more compact body structure, screamed and swooped down from the sky.

The logistics technicians were a little panicked, but the hunters didn't react much. Facing a small monster of this size, they could literally tear it apart without using weapons.

What's more, these small flying dragons are originally raised on sea ships, and there are crossbars built at the stern for them to rest on.

Gordon originally thought that their role was to be a pilot or a messenger, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

The green-blue pterosaur with a yellow beak dived to a height of four or five meters above the deck, then suddenly flapped its wings and climbed up.

The dragon hunter used a projectile to shoot out a rope in time, entangled one of the pterosaur's hind paws, and was then led off the deck by the pterosaur and flew into the air.

After circling the ship for a week, the dragon hunter landed back on the bow deck.

Can hunters in the New World also fly? !

Staring blankly at the unknown pterosaur flying back to its lair at the stern of the ship, this group of elites from the Old World were inevitably filled with emotion.

I'm afraid I have to learn many things from scratch.

“During the more than one month-long voyage to the New World, please grasp the use of the projectile as soon as possible, especially hunters and investigators who need to conduct field operations. This is very important to you.

You can practice with these projectors first. A craftsman will come to help you measure your arm length and weight in a while. In about two or three days, your projectiles will be debugged and distributed to you. "

After saying this, the dragon hunter nodded to them, turned around and left alone.

Those technicians and researchers were a little confused. Although, why did the "instructor" just leave? !

The hunters understood what Mr. Mecca meant. They were no longer new students and needed to be taught everything.

Projectors are widely used but very simple to use.

There is actually only one core, which is to shoot accurately.

Whether it's used as a projectile or a rope, as long as the shot is accurate enough, there won't be any other problems.

Gordon clapped his hands and asked the technicians and researchers who were communicating in low voices to look over.

"Divide into three groups, Ancier, Gale, and Oshula. Each of you three shooters will lead a group to practice."

Due to seasickness, Ancil and Gale were still a little listless, so it was a bit difficult for them to go hunting now, but it was still okay to teach people how to use these gadgets.

The teaching activities started soon. Since it was a new thing, everyone was very interested.

Several shooters mastered the use of the slingshot almost immediately. Compared with the ballista they used, the slingshot was indeed too simple.

Gordon arranged for someone to get some rocks or nuts to use as ammunition, and moved a few barrels to serve as targets, and a group of people took turns to practice.

"There is no scope on the projector. Don't think about shooting casually like us at the beginning. We have long developed the feel of blind shooting.

Straighten your arms, put your face on your shoulders, and use your arms to assist with aiming! "Anhil said loudly. After doing something, the symptoms of seasickness seemed not as severe as before.

It was Gordon's turn, but something went wrong before he even got to the shooting step.

His arms were too thick with the wrist armor, and the projector's buckle straps weren't long enough to hold them in place.

Ted also had a similar problem, so the two had to hold the projector in their hands and launch it for the time being.

It can be seen from the progress of practice that individual shooting talents vary greatly.

People with good shooting talent can quickly hit a barrel ten meters away, and the more rounds they practice, the more accurate they will become.

A typical example is Evelin, the katana swordsman. If she had not chosen to be a swordsman but had taken the path of a shooter, she might have been able to succeed.

Ted, who gives the impression of being a rough and tough guy, also performs very well. Maybe a blunderbuss can also be considered a long-range weapon?

A typical counterexample is Evelyn's husband, Feddy, the hunting flute player. Many non-combatants performed better than him. Gale, who was in charge of teaching him, was so angry that he yelled, "Are you aiming with your eyes?" ?!”

Gordon belongs to the group of people who are quite good at it. If you work harder and practice more, you will be able to master it in a short time.

The hunters' practice continued into the evening.

As for those technicians and researchers, most of them could no longer hold on by noon.

Some people with poor physical fitness may not even be able to lift their arms tomorrow.

A few days later, Gordon finally received a projectile specially adjusted for his size and weight. Not only was it larger in size, but the reeds used to rewind the rope were also stronger.

Otherwise, due to his own weight plus the weight of the full set of armor and sword, the rope might get stuck halfway.

Ted was in the same situation. The craftsman from the New World suggested that they find a way to capture a few large and powerful pterosaurs after arriving at the Star Stronghold.

The thin and weak pterosaurs may not even fly stably with them, and may even "crash" easily. This is the lesson learned by the "Grand Leader".

While Gordon Tedd remembered the craftsman's advice, he inevitably became curious about the legendary grand leader.

The dragon-attacking boat moved forward, and two weeks had passed since the day it set sail.

Most of the hunters have already mastered the use of the slinger. During this time, they went to the deck to practice when they had nothing to do.

Practice using the slinger to launch stones, shoot barrels and wooden cups, practice using the rope function to help you quickly climb the mast, or fly with the pterosaur.

It turns out that the craftsman was right.

Although the pterosaurs on the ship were not able to carry the two heavyweights Gordon Tedder, the pterosaurs obviously seemed very strenuous when flying with them, and the struggling and shaking situation was particularly serious.

Once, a pterosaur flying with Ted lost its balance and fell into the sea together with Ted, who was screaming.

Come to think of it, this is the so-called "crash".

In fact, falling into the sea is not a bad thing now, but in the future when flying with the pterosaur, it will fall and fall on the face of some ancient dragon species.

I heard from the dragon-human hunters that although several types of pterosaur monsters, including the pterosaurs, can be used as "transportation vehicles."

But their IQs are not high, they are about the same as pigeons.

It is impossible to specially train a pterosaur that can take you anywhere, or even help you fight together, like training a hunting cat or a tooth hound.

At most, you can simply command them through whistles, but sometimes they may not always obey the command.

Even so, Gordon still plans to find a pterosaur that can easily drive him as soon as possible after arriving at the star stronghold in the New World, and then provide him with delicious food and drink.

So as not to fall to him again at the critical moment.

As the projectile training came to an end, the hunters also took some time off and started doing their own things to kill time.

Hayata was polishing and maintaining her tachi knives over and over again, Pork Chop was honing her cooking skills and taking over the kitchen, and Anhil was carefully mixing piles of crossbow shells.

Gordon is working out his muscles.

On this day, after completing the training, Gordon suddenly remembered that the regimental emblem had not yet been decided.

He dragged Hayata out of the room, who was carefully oiling his knife, and called the members of the special investigation team who had nothing to do, and asked them to assemble.
