Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 114 Precision Sniper

The shooting position chosen by Ancier was only more than twenty meters away from Gordon and General Sickle, which was closer than when he was hunting alone in the past. It was far from taking advantage of the effective range of more than fifty meters of a heavy crossbow.

He felt that since Gordon was willing to trust him unconditionally and leave his behind to him, he must not betray this trust.

Taking into account factors such as the flight time of the crossbow projectile and the wind direction, there is still a slight chance that the support shooting above thirty meters will miss, but within thirty meters, he is 100% sure!

Ancier's shooting speed was not fast, but very rhythmic - he was attacking with the frequency of Gordon's sword swings.

Whenever Gordon swung his sword and passed by, when the momentum was exhausted, a crossbow shell would hit the target.

In this way, there is no need to worry about Gordon being accidentally injured due to changes in sword moves, and it can also be used in conjunction with the big sword to form a continuous offensive.

Soon, General Sickle had several new wounds on his body.

The effect of the electric shock bomb was slightly worse than Ancier expected.

Thunder-type attacks are indeed effective against Shogun Kamaki, but they are far from outstanding. After two magazines were released, there was no obvious change in Shogun Kamaku's movements.

But Ancil does not seem disappointed. As a shooter, he does not lack patience. As long as the damage continues to accumulate, there will always be a moment of qualitative change.

With the support and shooting of his companions, Gordon, who was able to withstand the general's attack from the front, became much more relaxed.

He clearly felt that the combos of the General's sickle claws were not as smooth as before. Even the crustacean felt pain. It was impossible to face the continuous attack of the crossbow shells and remain completely indifferent.

Just when Gordon was about to attack more aggressively and began to attack the general's left foot, the latter finally became furious.

The Shogun Crab, which lacks red blood cells in its blood, does not have obvious changes in appearance when it is angry, such as its skin color becomes red, its eyes are bloodshot, etc. like many large monsters.

But its speed of action and agility have been significantly improved.

He retracted his legs to avoid Gordon's vertical slash, and at the same time raised his long and sharp claws high.

The general's appearance was like a demonstration. Although he didn't know what this guy wanted to do, out of caution, Gordon immediately put away his sword and began to retreat.

Ancier's shooting speed in the distance also suddenly accelerated, and the successive crossbow shells almost formed a line.

In the past, it took an average of three to four seconds to fire one weapon, but now, within just a few seconds of General Kamakura's demonstrative action, he emptied an entire magazine.

Gordon's choice to retreat early is undoubtedly a wise one.

I saw the General Sickle Crab spread its claws, and its legs moved at a dizzying speed. Its huge body turned into a whirlwind, turning around in less than a second, and its sharp sickle claws

It even opened a perfect arc of light in the air.

Facing this 360-degree indiscriminate attack, Gordon couldn't help but swallow secretly.

Fortunately, he was not greedy and withdrew from the attack range first. Otherwise, facing an attack at such a speed, rolling to dodge would be a gamble. If he moved a little earlier or later, he would be cut off in the middle.

The sweep failed, and General Kamakura had no intention of letting Gordon go, and immediately chased after him.

It did not rush forward, but turned sideways and ran in an arc. Perhaps because of the special structure of its legs, the general sickle crab running in an arc was much faster than walking straight.

Almost in the blink of an eye, it circled behind Gordon, in the position between Gordon and Ancier.

If it were another type of monster, Ancil would be overjoyed. This would simply put the best shooting range in front of the muzzle of his ballista, and he could just fire at will.

But this guy is a hermit crab just like the closely related shield crab. The huge dragon skull on its back is its best shield. Most crossbow bullets are not painful or itchy at all.

In desperation, Ancier had to temporarily put away the ore crystal nova and began to move to find a new shooting position.

However, the General Scythe Crab also learned to be smart. It gave up the strong attack method of double claw combos and began to move around Gordon constantly, stabbing out a dark knife from time to time, which shocked the latter into a cold sweat.

Facing the general sickle crabs that kept circling, Ancier, who was in the outermost circle, could never find a suitable shooting position - no matter where he went, this guy would move his legs to adjust his position, and then point the dragon skull behind him towards

To oneself.

The shaking dragon skull seemed to be laughing at something.

A blue vein popped up in Ancil's forehead when he was provoked. He sneered, replaced the magazine of the crossbow with a penetrating bullet, and said loudly: "Gordon! Just pay attention to self-protection, I will find a way!

"

After receiving Ancil's reminder, Gordon no longer struggled with attacking General Sickle's legs. He slightly retracted his explosive knife and focused on defending against General Sickle's sudden attack, dealing with it patiently.

On the other side, Ancier lowered his body, set up his scope, and activated sniper mode.

Under the high-power sight, the lines on the General's sickle crab's carapace became clearly visible. He slowed down his breathing, suppressed his heartbeat, and everything around him seemed to become quiet and slow.

After aiming for more than ten seconds, Ancier finally grasped the opportunity.

The general Sickle Crab, wielding its sickle claws, inevitably turned its body slightly, exposing one leg outside the defense range of the dragon's skull carapace.

The ore crystallized Nova's muzzle spit out flames, and the extremely fast penetrating projectile shot out, penetrating the still-moving foot joints with astonishing accuracy.

Dirty green body fluids splashed everywhere, and the punctured leg drooped down. General Sickle's movements obviously stagnated, and his center of gravity began to shift to the left.

"Hey." Ancier hummed with satisfaction.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he started sniping mode in battle.

In the past, when hunting alone, only the first shot before being discovered by the monster could be slowly aimed at sniping, and after that, there was only endless, boring close-range shooting and dealing.

After setting the target in the crosshair again, and after another period of aiming, Ancier fired again, and once again successfully penetrated one of the legs of the general sickle crab.

At this point, more than half of the Shogun Crab's legs have been damaged, and its movements have become visibly slower.

At this time, even Gordon, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, couldn't help shouting and praising: "Ha! Well done, young master, give me a few more shots and see how this guy can still move around!"

The corners of Ancier's mouth curled up.

Compared to the forced close combat, I really like the feeling of calm sniping.

Shogun Kamakura, whose limbs were severely injured one after another, finally realized clearly who was the enemy that threatened him the most.

It crossed its claws in front of itself to block the sword in Gordon's hand, and at the same time bent its legs and began to accumulate strength.

Upon seeing this, Gordon immediately shouted a warning, "Ancil! It's about to turn towards you, be careful to avoid it!"

Ancier put away the mineral crystal nova without hesitation. He stood up, ready to run or roll to dodge at any time.

The next second, General Sickle began to move.

All legs, including the sickle claws, even the broken legs, exert force at the same time.

The huge body, weighing several tons, reached high speed in an instant. Using the horn of the dragon skull behind it as an impact angle, it rumbled into Ansil in the distance.

Gordon, who was left where he was, stared.

The "Dragon Cart" of General Sickle turns out to be coming backwards?
