Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 109 The Broken Giant Scissors

Gordon took a deep breath and felt a dull dull pain in his chest and abdomen, which was a sign of internal shock.

Taking advantage of General Sickle's attention being attracted by Ancil, he quickly took out a bottle of recovery potion and drank it, coughing up a small piece of bruise, and his burning chest and back suddenly felt much better.

He wiped the corner of his mouth and said to Pig Cho, who hurriedly came to him: "Pig Cho, play the horn and flute to draw the monster's attention. An Xir won't be able to hold on for long!"

As Gordon said, in less than half a minute, Ancil had already entered a state of embarrassment.

The general's sickle landed only a few meters away from him, and the two were almost fighting close to each other, which was very disadvantageous for the slow-moving heavy crossbow user.

What's more, this guy doesn't even have the shotgun ammunition necessary for a crossbowman's close combat, and the magazine of penetrating ammunition is about to be exhausted.

After receiving Gordon's instructions, Pork Chop didn't hesitate and immediately blew the horn to attract the monster's attention.

Amidst the echoing sound of the horn flute's "doo, doo", General Sickle stopped his offensive against the heavy crossbow user and turned angrily to Gordon and Pig Chops.

Gordon, who drank the recovery potion, barely regained his strength. Holding a big sword, he stepped forward to attack.

It was at this time that he had the opportunity to take a good look at this terrifying crustacean that almost split him into pieces as soon as it appeared.

The shogun's sickle crab is similar in size to the daimyo shield crab, but its body structure is more compact. Unlike the latter, which looks like a big crab with its claws and splayed teeth, the shogun's sickle crab is more like a combination of a mantis and a lobster.

The streamlined carapace is mainly blue, and the edges of the carapace are covered with jagged spines, which are as sharp as knives. If the hunter does not wear armor, even if it is only lightly scratched, large pieces of flesh and blood will be torn off.

The most eye-catching thing is naturally the pair of sickle-like forelimbs, which are slender and fast, swinging like the wind, and the claws even give people a sharp beauty like a "sword dance".

It is different from its close relative, the Daimyo Shield Crab, which is only good at horizontal movement and has clumsy steps.

The general's movement is very fast.

When it rushed straight towards Gordon, the terrifying sense of oppression was almost as strong as that of a flying dragon.

Gordon estimated the distance accurately, stopped immediately and began to accumulate strength, intending to stop the General Sickle's offensive in a head-on confrontation, just like when dealing with the big strange bird.

However, General Kamakura's reaction once again exceeded his expectations.

Just when the charged slash was released and was about to hit the sharp-angled head of General Sickle, the latter's pace suddenly changed.

I saw it switch from straight charging to sideways movement without any warning, turning into a blue shadow, easily avoiding the powerful charged slash, and at the same time, it circled to the side of Gordon.

The long knife-like claws came out "swiftly" and slashed horizontally towards Gordon's waist.

"What speed is this?!"

Gordon exclaimed, without any time to adjust his posture, he hurriedly ducked and rolled to avoid it.

The sound of the claws whizzing by in the wind makes one's scalp numb.

If he were hit by this sweeping blow, even if he was protected by the strange bird suit, he would not be cut in half, but he would still be severely injured.

And such a sharp attack is just the beginning.

Facing the claws swung out by General Sickle one after another, Gordon kept blocking, rolling, and dodging, but he could only barely parry and deal with them, with almost no chance to fight back.

Pork Chop tried to attack from the side and rear to attract the attention of the General Sickle Crab, but the Ore Cat Pickaxe was unable to break through the defense of the General Sickle Crab's carapace, and its attack was completely ignored.

This made Pork Chop very upset. Why didn't he carry two explosive barrels with him? That would at least have some effect.

Fortunately, Ancier had used this time to adjust his shooting position, and began the very precise support shooting.

One after another, the penetrating bullets passed through the space and penetrated into the weak spots of the General's sickle crab's carapace from various tricky angles, splattering out dirty green blood flowers.

The sudden severe pain forced General Sickle to let out a sharp scream and temporarily stopped his continuous attack on Gordon.

"Well done! Young Master!" Gordon laughed and prepared to regroup and launch a counterattack.

"What a beautiful ghost!"

Anhil in the distance changed from his usual elegant and calm appearance, and he shouted anxiously: "There is only one penetrating magazine, and the remaining lv1 normal bullets cannot break through its defense!

There are only three paralysis bullets in one magazine, so it is almost impossible to be effective. Get ready to retreat!"

Gordon was startled when he heard this, but then he realized that this was the only option.

The general's strength exceeded his expectations, and his movements were too fast. Without Ancier's shooting support, it was almost impossible for him to win in a single fight.

What's more, after blocking the general's attack, the giant scissors felt a little strange.

Looking at the two huge cracks on the sword, Gordon estimated that the sword may have suffered irreversible structural damage.

I don't know how long I can last.

After a few more roars from the ballista, Ancier's side stopped firing - the penetrating bullets had been exhausted.

Seeing that General Sickle's attention was attracted by the heavy ballista, Gordon yelled: "You retreat first! I'll entangle it. If you don't have ammunition, it's useless for you to stay!"

Anhil, who has a proud personality, is unwilling to abandon his companion, but he also knows that what the other party said is the truth.

Having exhausted his ammunition, if he insists on staying, he will only cause more chaos.

"General Sickle's physical strength is not very good. If you find an opportunity, run away in a straight line! It can charge for a few dozen meters at most. If you run past this distance, it won't be able to catch up with you!" Anhil said loudly while putting away the heavy crossbow: "I

Meet you at the other end of the corridor!"

"receive!"

Seeing Ancier start to retreat, Gordon struck out with a vertical slash, trying to get General Sickle's attention back.

However, the sharpness of the giant scissors was greatly reduced, but it bounced back from the dragon skull carried on General Sickle's back, causing no pain or itch at all.

"What the hell!"

Gordon yelled and cursed, watching helplessly as General Sickle's legs bent, then jumped high like a grasshopper, and hung on the rock wall in the cave.

Milky white foam billows in its lobster-like mouthparts.

"Anhil, be careful! It's breath!" Gordon shouted and reminded.

After a short period of accumulation, a high-pressure stream of water mixed with foam shot out from the general's mouth like a sharp sword.

The power of the water flow is so terrifying that the rocky ground is shattered layer by layer under its bombardment, with stone flakes flying everywhere.

As General Sickle's body rotated slightly, the torrent swept in a fan pattern, and Anhil, who was about to enter the entrance of the tunnel, had nowhere to hide.

There is no way Ancil, who is dressed as a shooter, can withstand this blow!

Realizing this, Gordon gritted his teeth and rushed forward again, raising his sword to defend himself, blocking the water jet between General Sickle and Ancil.

The high-pressure water flow swept through it like a solid sharp blade.

Anhill heard Gordon's reminder, and what he saw when he turned around was Gordon being blown away by the high-pressure water flow.

The giant scissors that had been seriously damaged were completely broken by this blow, and the aftermath of the breath fell directly on him. When he was once again smashed against the rock wall near the corridor, Shogun Kamaki's breath finally ended.

When Gordon fell to the ground, he was unresponsive. It was unknown whether he fell into a coma or something more terrifying.

"Meow!!" Pig Chop screamed.

"Gordon!" Ancil also roared and deployed the heavy crossbow, heavily loaded the weapon with the last special magazine loaded with paralysis bullets.

Gordon desperately saved him twice. If he wanted him to abandon his companions and run away alone now, it would be easier to just let him jump into the lava lake.

The sniper mode was launched, the crosshair was accurately locked on the face of the general Kamaki, and the trigger was pulled hard!

The general Sickle, who had just finished breathing, was a little tired and did not move immediately. The three paralysis bombs accurately hit the target.

"Creak!!!" A sharp insect-like hiss suddenly sounded.

Under Ancier's slightly stunned gaze, the general Sickle, who fell into a state of paralysis, fell off the rock wall and fell heavily to the ground.
