Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 196 The Duel Begins

The reconciliation work lasted until late at night.

Gordon had originally planned to go headhunting for herbivorous dragons or something nearby and bring back some raw meat for barbecue, but now that he couldn't spare the time, he had to carry food with him.

"Finally done nya!"

When encountering explosives, Pig Chop, who was always in high spirits, raised his two little paws.

Placed in front of it are four giant explosive barrels over one meter high.

The appearance of these explosive bombs is not very good-looking, and the old barrels are covered with patches of wooden planks. However, their power cannot be underestimated.

According to Pig Chop, he has absolute confidence that the power of these bomb barrels is no worse than those standardized large barrel bombs G sold in stores.

It was enough to blow up a horned dragon and make it dizzy.

Gordon believed in Pork Chop's hands-on ability, but the problem was that the use of such large explosive bombs was not as convenient as small props such as sonic bombs.

It is impossible to carry it with you. To use this thing, you can only use it with traps or terrain and make arrangements in advance.

"Don't worry Gordon!" Pig Chop puffed up his chest and put his paws on his hips and said, "I can leave all the setting up of bombs and traps to you, meow!"

After the arrangements are completed, I will go find Gordon Meow, and together we will lead the Dioceratops into a trap and blow it up Meow Meow!"

As if to prove his ability to set up explosive barrels on his own, Pig Chop came to a large barrel of explosive bombs G. After shouting "Meow", he actually lifted the explosive barrel.

After running around in a circle for a while with the bomb barrel held high, Pig Chop put down the bomb again, held his head high and said, "I'm already different from what I used to be!"

Gordon's eyes twitched.

Even though he repeatedly raised his expectations, he still underestimated the growth of pork chop.

Is this guy so strong now?!

After repenting for a second for his slights, Gordon took the two traps he had just made, handed them to Pork Chop, rubbed the latter's little head, and said:

"Then just go ahead and do it. Now you no longer need my command. I will cooperate with you when you have laid the trap."

"Meow!"

The sun is blazing.

Rolling heat waves evaporated from the gravel ground, creating a distorted light and shadow effect that blurred everything in sight.

In the Gobi wilderness four or five kilometers away from the camp, Gordon was like a lifeless stone, lying on the back of a low hill, quietly observing the giant beast not far away.

It was a powerful creature that could be described as "majestic".

It is more than twenty meters long from head to tail, and is covered with a thick carapace covered with sharp spines. Ordinary swords cannot even leave a scratch on it.

The huge bony skull is shaped like a shield, hard and thick, and protects the brain and neck.

The muscular legs are strong and powerful, and even on soft sand, they can instantly burst out with powerful propulsion.

Plus that giant mace-like tail hammer.

Any one of the above is enough to make a certain creature become a powerful being that dominates the party, but in terms of it, it is just a "foil".

Only the bright red and straight giant horn is the real "protagonist".

"The Knight of the Desert, Monoboros (One-horned Dragon)." Gordon muttered to himself silently.

The monster that became a "hero" and the starting point of a hunter.

Licking the dry corners of his mouth, his heart beat faster and faster.

Does it turn out that you are qualified to challenge such an existence?

It's so exciting!

The one-horned dragon has keen hearing and the ability to sense ground vibrations. The option of a sneak attack was not in Gordon's plan from the beginning.

Only frontal attack!

Gordon took a deep breath, stood up from the low hill, and stamped his feet vigorously.

The one-horned dragon tens of meters away suddenly turned its head to look.

It stared at the challenger standing on the top of the sand dune, and did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, it stared at the challenger for a few seconds, and then slowly turned around.

The spear-like single horn points forward, the body is lowered, and the thick right leg slowly grabs the ground - this is the preparation for the dragon chariot.

But in Gordon's eyes, this was like a knight's duel, a battlefield etiquette before launching a charge.

So, he also pulled out the Fire Dragon Flame Sword and pointed the tip of the sword at his opponent.

"Phew, come on!"

As if it heard the signal to start the war, the one-horned dragon roared and pushed the ground with its feet. It only took a blink of an eye for its huge body to go from standstill to high speed.

Gordon's eyes were locked on the opponent approaching at extremely fast speed through his visor.

When the one-horned dragon rushed to the sand dune, raised its head, and stabbed him with its horn, Gordon jumped up high with both feet, avoiding the horn and at the same time using the force of the fall, he slashed out the sword with all his strength.

.

The sword blade was slid open by the shield-like bone skull and landed on the side of the horned dragon's face, leaving a bloody scar next to the beak-like mouth.

"Hoooooooo!"

The confident attack failed to work. Instead, the slightly injured Monoceros let out an angry roar.

After falling to the ground and rolling over, Gordon quickly covered his ears after losing too much strength.

This guy's cry is really loud. Among the monsters I have encountered so far, only the male fire dragon can compare with his voice.

After finishing its roar, the one-horned dragon turned its head and bit into the hunter. At the same time, the giant tail covered with spikes swept towards him from another direction.

Gordon rolled forward to dodge without hesitation.

Although doing this will bring him closer to the one-horned dragon, it is also the only option that can avoid the head-to-tail attack of the one-horned dragon and launch a counterattack at the same time.

Get up and strike! The head of the male fire dragon's flame sword is lifted towards the chin of the one-horned dragon.

"boom!"

The head of the one-horned dragon was lifted slightly upward by the sword.

Gordon's palms and wrists also became numb.

This touch, this sound of swords clashing.

It doesn't look like slashing at all, but like using the weight of the sword to smash!

This guy's head is too hard!

Gordon gritted his teeth and immediately began to change his offensive strategy. The head was obviously not the weak point of the one-horned dragon, and he had to find other attack positions!

After another roll to avoid the angry continuous bites of the one-horned dragon, Gordon stood up and immediately put away his sword and started running, looking for an angle to attack.

The huge one-horned dragon has an absolute advantage in terms of strength, but it is obviously not as agile as the hunter at close range.

Gordon ran to the back of the Dioceratops and started to accumulate power.

When it had just entered the second stage of charging, the Iceratops tried hard to turn around, and its wings just turned in front of him.

Gordon released the charged slash without hesitation.

"Hiss!"

The male fire dragon flame sword lingering in flames cut through the hard skin of the dragon's wing bone. The meat here was obviously better than the head, but it was too dangerous.

The one-horned dragon didn't give him a chance to attack continuously. Gordon waved its giant wings and had no choice but to duck and dodge, otherwise he would definitely be hit hard and fly away.

It's really troublesome. Although it's not particularly flexible, it moves very frequently.

Gordon gritted his teeth and continued to look for opportunities and test every opportunity.

As if it was annoyed by the harassment, the one-horned dragon swung its tail from side to side, trying to drive Gordon away.

This kind of movement like chasing away flies is not very powerful, so Gordon used his sword to block it steadily.

Then he hit the iron mountain back with a strike, pushed forward, and used this action to close the distance, and then directly entered the charging posture of a strong charging slash.

——This is a little trick taught to him by his master.

Skipping the step of charged slash, the powerful charged slash is released at a speed far faster than before.

A heavy sword slashed at the base of the One-horned Dragon's tail, which is usually called the "Tail" by hunters.

There was no protection from the carapace and scales here, so the relatively weak dragon skin was cut open easily, and blood spattered everywhere, leaving a huge wound.

Gordon couldn't help but chuckle.

"This is the weak point!"
