Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 187 What to take from the fire

After the fight between the Boomer Dragon and Yango Dragon, there was no need for Ancil and Julius to continue to surround them.

The two began to move closer to Gordon. After meeting, they would escort Gordon together until they arrived at the camp.

It would be an exaggeration to say that the battle between the giant beasts caused the earth to shake, but the ground was indeed shaking. If the distance was too close, you would even become unstable due to the shaking of the ground.

Both of them are quite outstanding in size among large monsters.

This Yan Ge dragon is about twenty-five meters long. Even without its wings, its size is almost the same as the Emerald Water Dragon that Gordon and the others encountered before.

The body length of the Boomerosaurus is slightly shorter, about more than twenty meters, but its body is thicker than the former. Coupled with the metal prism-shaped protrusions on its back, the overall weight exceeds two hundred tons!

It ranks among the top five among all large monsters with known data.

After being knocked down, Yan Gelong was pinned down by the Explosive Hammer Dragon. For a moment, he was unable to break away from the weight of the big fat man. He was also hit by the latter's huge hammer-like chin, which made him extremely embarrassed.

And it's not something to be trifled with.

When he opened his mouth, a pillar of flame was sprayed into the chest of the Explosive Hammer Dragon at close range.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon howled and was pushed away by the flame pillar. While a large area of ​​skin and flesh on its chest was scorched, even the metal prism behind it that was affected by the flame pillar showed signs of melting with red heat.

“Metals can be melted, it’s really an exaggeration”

The scene in front of him shocked Gordon. He moved his legs desperately, trying to run faster.

If such a pillar of flame breath is just swept away, relying on the excellent fire resistance of the fire dragon suit, there is still a possibility of survival, but if like the blaster dragon, it is also bombarded from the front.

That person will definitely be gone.

The battle between the Boomer Dragon and the Lava Dragon continues.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon, which was repulsed by the Flame Pillar's breath, took two deep breaths and charged forward again. It raised its huge chin high and slammed into Yan Ge Dragon, who was also a little tired.

Yange Dragon twisted its body and slid back a certain distance like a snake, avoiding the terrifying hammer blow from the Explosive Hammer Dragon that shattered the ground.

Then it opened its huge shovel-shaped mouth, and sparks and flames brewed in its mouth again.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon had no intention of exhaling forcefully again. It turned its body, and its giant tail, which was almost as thick as its torso, smashed into the side of the Yan Ge Dragon's face like a mountain.

The latter's head, along with the breath of the flame pillar that had just been spit out, was knocked sideways.

The out-of-control flame pillar swept straight at Gordon who was running away.

He had no time to think, and his muscle reaction, which he had trained through countless dangers, made him immediately throw himself down to avoid it.

The flame pillar swept past the back of his head, burning a faint scorch mark on the helmet of the fire dragon suit.

Gordon even smelled the stench of burnt hair.

What was even worse was that during the throwing process, two powder rocks fell to the ground uncontrollably and rolled to both sides of Gordon's head.

In the cracked gap, an ominous red light gradually lit up.

There was no time to regret, and the strong sense of crisis forced Gordon to jump up from the ground like a spring and flee wildly into the distance.

A few seconds later, the two gunpowder flames behind him exploded like two detonated large barrels of bombs.

The flames and shock waves set off even blew Gordon several meters away, and his internal organs were slightly aching from the shock. Fortunately, he was protected by armor and was not seriously injured.

"Damn it, no wonder it's called Gunpowder Rock, it really explodes!" Gordon cursed and stood up.

This trip was in vain and we have to start over.

Julius and Ancil also started running near him.

"Are you okay?" Anhil asked loudly.

No one cared about Gordon's behavior of throwing away the gunpowder rock to dodge his breath. Life was more important than anything else.

"I'm fine, let's run one more time while they are still fighting!" Gordon said, planning to turn back and run towards the cave.

To be honest, he was a little unsure. Would the battle between the Boomer Dragon and Yan Ge Dragon really last that long?

"Wait! Look what that is!" Julius suddenly exclaimed.

Gordon and Ancil quickly turned around and looked.

The body is heavier and stronger, but the Blaster Dragon is always kept away from Yan Ge Dragon and baptized with its breath. The Boom Hammer Dragon roars angrily.

It shook its body, suddenly swung its giant tail, and several black things were thrown out from its tail, landing next to Yan Gelong.

Those are several egg-shaped stones, which are gunpowder rocks!

Perhaps because it was "fresh" enough, the gunpowder rock was not activated immediately. Yange Dragon was just avoiding the Explosive Hammer Dragon's tail strike, and stepped on it without paying attention.

The ultra-high body surface temperature instantly activated the gunpowder rocks, and they began to glow. After a few seconds, they exploded!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Yan Gelong, who could ignore the explosive heat but was disgraced by the shock wave and scattered stone fragments, let out a howl.

The three of them looked at each other.

The thing just thrown out by the Boomer Dragon is undoubtedly gunpowder rock!

Without thinking, Gordon said "cover me" to his companions and rushed forward, followed closely by Julius.

Anhil was left alone to set up the heavy crossbow and curse.

"Damn! These stupid swordsmen!"

The two hunters approaching in a roundabout way did not attract the attention of Explosive Hammer Dragon and Yan Ge Dragon.

In their eyes, hunters less than two meters tall are not as threatening as those baby lava beasts rolling around in the magma lake.

The opponent in front of you is more important.

Seeing that Yan Gelong was injured, the Boomer Dragon curled up and rolled, crushing towards Yan Ge Dragon like a wheel.

Yan Gelong reacted in time, inserted its shovel-shaped beak into the ground, and rotated its whole body at high speed like a drill. It got into the ground before the Explosive Hammer Dragon could crush it.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon, which had lost its target, stretched out and looked around cautiously.

A few seconds later, the ground behind the side of the Explosive Hammer suddenly softened and bulged, and its body was covered with high-temperature magma. Yange Dragon, which turned golden red again, flew out and knocked down the Explosive Hammer Dragon.

Before the Boomer Dragon could counterattack, the Yange Dragon raised its neck and pecked down its long beak like a huge spike.

The two Gordons, who were already close by, could even hear the sound of the carapace bones of the Bomber Dragon breaking, and even two pieces of the metal rib-like ridges on its back were knocked off.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon was severely injured, but this did not mean that it lost its ability to resist due to its rough skin and thick flesh.

Rather, this further aroused its ferocious nature.

In terms of strength and weight, Yan Gelong is inferior to Explosive Hammer Dragon. Although it relies on the surprise attack to seize the opportunity, it will not have the advantage in the subsequent close combat.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon lowered its head, pressed against the Yan Ge Dragon's abdomen, then roared wildly, exerting all its muscles, and actually lifted the hundreds of tons of Yan Ge Dragon away.

The rumbling and shaking ground made Gordon and the others unsteady on their feet, but the scene that happened next made Gordon's eyes widen.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon swung its giant tail at Yange Dragon, which had fallen to the ground and was struggling to get up. At the same time, several black objects were also thrown out.

Gordon, who had not yet completely stabilized his body, didn't care so much anymore. His feet suddenly exerted force, and he rushed forward while running and crawling.

He fluttered and hugged a gunpowder rock that had just landed on the ground and had not yet been activated by the high temperature. After rolling on the ground a few times to remove excess inertia, he jumped up, held the gunpowder rock under his arm, and ran quickly.

If you only hold one, the speed will be much faster hey?!

Ps.

As for whether Gunpowder Rock is the excrement of the Boomerosaurus, well, it cannot be confirmed. The official data does not say it, but I think this second hypothesis is quite reasonable.

Including digging in the lair, shaking the butt of the Explosive Hammer dragon, etc., and then considering the Peach-haired Beast King, right?

But I won’t say anything here. I can only talk about the judgments made by Gordon and others based on this series of cognitions.
