Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 167 Siege

If we do not include extraneous creatures like the Lanlong into the discussion, the Emerald Water Dragon in front of us is definitely the largest monster Gordon has ever seen, bar none.

His height of nearly two meters is considered outstanding among humans, but it cannot even reach the hind legs of the Emerald Water Dragon.

Once upon a time, scholars classified the green water dragon, which was rare in number and whose average size was much larger than that of ordinary water dragons, as a subspecies of water dragon.

It was not until recent years, with the deepening of research, that scholars from the Scriveners Team came up with another concept, which was finally confirmed:

——The Emerald Water Dragon and the Water Dragon belong to the same species, and the former is just a "middle-aged" individual in the group.

Like many creatures that live in water and the sea, water dragons can continue to grow in size to very large sizes as they age.

When the life stage reaches middle-aged and old age, not only will their size and strength gradually increase, but their scales will also transform into a bright green color similar to algae, and they will become tougher, and their overall strength will completely reach the level of flying dragon monsters.

This is also the reason why ordinary water dragons are defined as three-star monsters, while green water dragons can reach five stars.

The bank of the river.

The battle between the two hunters and the Emerald Water Dragon has officially begun.

Taking advantage of Az, who made the first move, to attract the attention of the Emerald Water Dragon, Gordon quickly sprinted to its feet - for swordsmen, when encountering oversized monsters, getting under them to "get a pedicure" is a common practice.

The right choice.

He stopped and swung the sword vertically, then drew it and slashed.

The flame-wrapped blade of the male fire dragon sword successfully broke through the scales on the leg of the green water dragon, leaving a scorched black scar.

The attack continues.

He lifted the sword up, lifted it up and slashed, then twisted his waist and took a wrong step and slashed horizontally, completing a set of tentative combos.

From the few wounds that were not too deep, Gordon roughly judged the "meat quality" of the Emerald Water Dragon.

The scales are very hard, the skin is quite tough, and the defensive power is generally a whole level stronger than that of a water dragon, but it is still within the range of the sharpness of the male fire dragon's flame sword blue Zanmi (Takumi).

After completing the exploratory attack, Gordon was ready to temporarily put away his sword and retreat.

Usually at this time, the monsters who have reacted will launch a counterattack, and the gain outweighs the gain.

However, this time, he was surprised to find that the Emerald Water Dragon's attention was still firmly attracted by Aziz and could not care about him at all.

Because of his love for "fishing", Aziz is very familiar with the habits of ichthyosaur and sea dragon monsters, and water dragons are naturally no exception.

Unlike the physiological structure of most terrestrial creatures, which have their eyes facing forward, the eyes of water dragons, like fish, grow on both sides of the head.

Such eyes have a wider field of vision, and can even include things behind them, but in contrast, their frontal visual sensitivity is much inferior.

In water, water dragons can make up for this shortcoming by swinging their bodies and heads during swimming.

But on the shore, it is not so flexible.

Taking advantage of this small physical defect, Aziz stood directly in front of the Emerald Water Dragon, stabbing the latter's chin with the spear in his hand.

Whenever the Emerald Water Dragon twisted his neck and turned his head to see him clearly, he would slide away with a flexible sideways step, return to the blind spot of the Emerald Water Dragon's field of vision, and continue to attack, leaving the Water Dragon with no time to care about anything else.

In this way, Gordon only needs to pay attention to the feet of the Emerald Water Dragon that move from time to time, and be careful not to be stepped on, so that he can calmly prepare to charge up and slash.

What else is there to say?

Charge one stage, two stages, three stages, then release!

The male fire dragon's flame sword slashed down hard, leaving a much deeper wound on the green water dragon's leg than before.

Change posture, continue to charge up, and slash with strong charge!

"Drink!" followed Gordon's low drink.

The scales, skin and muscles of the Emerald Water Dragon's calf were torn open by the flaming sword, causing a huge gash to bleed.

Such an attack finally caused the Cuishui Dragon to experience unbearable pain.

It turned its body violently, sweeping around with its howling twin fins and giant tail, trying to drive out the annoying guy underneath it.

Gordon, who was well prepared, turned slightly and dodged the legs of the Emerald Water Dragon. As for the tail flick that was much higher than his head, he didn't care at all.

There are disadvantages to being too big. Can your fish tail still touch me?

Gordon laughed secretly in his heart, and then he was thrown away.

"."

"Hey, hey! Are you okay?" Aziz shouted nervously and asked.

Gordon got up in disgrace and shook his head and responded: "Ahem, I'm fine!"

Fortunately, Feng Ying is not here, otherwise I, a cheap master, would be embarrassed.

I thought that the fish tail of the Emerald Water Dragon, which could only swing left and right, could not touch me, but in the end, the airflow driven by its tail fin alone blew me away.

What is this? A flick from another dimension? (wtm can’t think of a more reasonable explanation)

Gordon, who had a new understanding of the power of the Emerald Water Dragon, decided to be more cautious.

But before he could get close to the green water dragon again, the latter suddenly jumped up, lay down on the ground, and began to twist and slide forward like a fish swimming in the water.

Under the combined action of the mucus secreted from the abdomen and strong muscles, the green water dragon burst out at a high speed that was inconsistent with its size - this is the unique gliding dragon car of the ichthyosaur species!

Gordon, who was on the path of impact, immediately started running wildly.

With the size of the Emerald Water Dragon, it is impossible to avoid the range of the dragon cart in time by simply rolling or flying.

People who have not experienced it will never be able to imagine the tension of a giant beast that is more than 20 meters long and weighs hundreds of tons roaring past you.

Gordon breathed a sigh of relief after escaping with his life.

Fortunately, the main purpose of the Emerald Water Dragon does not seem to be to kill itself. Otherwise, as long as it slightly corrects its sliding route, its probability of escaping will be greatly reduced.

Just as Gordon guessed, the real target of the Emerald Water Dragon was indeed not him, but the big river not far away.

The severe injuries suffered to its legs made it realize that ground combat was not its strong point. Only when it returned to the water was its home field!

A distance of tens of meters can be reached in an instant for the high-speed gliding green water dragon.

After the huge splash, it had plunged into the river and disappeared without a trace.

"Be careful! It hasn't left!" Aziz, who realized what the Emerald Water Dragon was going to do, reminded Gordon loudly.

At the same time, he quickly rushed to the river bank and set up a shield to be on guard.

Gordon, who had hunted monsters like water dragons in the past year, knew their temperament clearly, so he immediately ran behind Az, also raised his sword and entered a defensive posture.

It was just as they expected.

A few seconds after the green water dragon entered the river, it raised half of its body from the river amid a loud splash of water waves.

The huge triangular mouth opened wide, and a breath of water that was only a dozen centimeters in diameter, but extremely powerful, swept across the hunters on the shore.

"Zi la!"

The breath swept across Az's giant shield, making a sharp sound like metal scraping.

Aziz, who was fully defensive, was pushed back several meters and could barely maintain his defensive posture.

But thanks to his efforts, Gordon behind him was only slightly affected by the aftermath of his breath, and after being blocked by the big sword, he was unscathed.

After finishing its breath, the Emerald Water Dragon fell back into the water, waiting for the next opportunity to attack.

Seeing that Az's internal organs were impacted and needed to drink medicine to recover, Gordon immediately raised his sword in front of him, his eyes alert, watching the huge fish fin wandering on the river.

Just then, the voice of Pig Chop came from far away, "He's coming down, meow!"

Gordon said in surprise: "Pork chop! Is there a sonic bomb? I'm going to blow that guy out of the water!"

"Meow Meow? No sonic bomb prepared, Meow Meow!"

Aziz, who drank a bottle of recovery medicine and regained his strength, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Ha! He is also better at fighting with water! Wait here, and go and drive it out!"

Ps. The remaining two chapters today are still in the same old time, paralyzed.
