Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 197 A long and hard battle

The severe damage to its vitals forced the one-horned dragon to stumble forward two steps.

With the heart pumping rapidly, blood rushed into every corner of its body, and the blood vessels on the surface of the skull were congested, dyeing the skull a scarlet color.

"Roar!!!"

The one-horned dragon was furious.

There was a roar of wind, and Gordon didn't even react. The one-horned dragon had already turned around, pointed its red horn at him, and charged towards him.

Its movement is almost twice as fast! With such a large body and such a fast turning speed, is this guy's heart made of steel?!

Gordon was horrified and flew to one side, narrowly avoiding the blow that could pierce him.

Gordon, who fell to the ground, did not get up in a hurry, but continued to roll a few times.

Facts have proved that he was right to do so.

The roar of the tail hammer tearing the air came from above his head. If he had climbed up in a hurry, he might have been severely injured by the tail blow of the one-horned dragon.

Gordon stood up again and immediately put away his sword.

This kind of attack speed, this kind of turning speed, it is enough to change to a double-sword user, Taitoha. As a sword-wielding sword user who moves slowly, he should just keep his sword away to avoid its sharp edge.

Gordon, who temporarily gave up his offensive plan, kept dodging the attacks of the horned dragon.

The reason why he didn't turn around and ran was because he knew very well that at his own speed, there was no possibility of outrunning the Dictosaurus on the relatively flat Gobi Desert.

At first, faced with the continuous collisions of Dioceratops, Gordon acted in a very embarrassed manner.

But gradually, he also discovered the shortcomings of this monster - the one-horned dragon seemed to be particularly obsessed with the dragon car.

Wearing heavy armor and having strong legs, it can crush any kind of flying dragon with its sharp thorns and horns. It must avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

This is the "killer weapon" that the Dioceratops tribe has carefully crafted through repeated evolution from ancient times to the present.

Against opponents of similar size, this move is invincible.

But when faced with a hunter who doesn't necessarily have a long horn, nimble steps, and nimble body, this move will inevitably feel like a cannon hitting a giant bee.

As for the other moves, they are nothing more than the bite, tail flick and wing flick commonly used by flying dragons. Iron Mountain relies on these, its wide wings are like a burden, and it has no ability to hover at all.

If he hadn't seen it flying and landing on the Gobi Desert before, Gordon would have doubted whether this guy could fly.

Perhaps he was annoyed because his proud thrusts and corner collisions failed continuously, or perhaps he heard Gordon's inner complaints.

The one-horned dragon suddenly stopped.

Then, under Gordon's eyes as if he had seen a ghost, he drilled into the ground at a speed that was not inferior to Ellu.

No? Those Ellu cats are petite in size. To drill a hole, they only need to dig up a few liters of soil. It would be understandable if they were faster.

Isn’t it a little unreasonable for a hundred-ton body like a Dioceratops to burrow into the ground so quickly?! The wind pressure created while digging the ground almost blew people away!

Gordon was astonished, but he didn't dare to slow down. He took out the sonic bomb from the prop bag as quickly as possible, pulled the fuse and prepared to throw it out.

——This trick is always useful for monsters that like to burrow into the ground.

However, before he could pull the lead away, a violent tremor came from under his feet.

The muscles reacted before the brain, and Gordon leaped forward with all his strength and jumped away.

The moment he left the place, a bright red giant horn broke out from the position where he had just stood, piercing the sky arbitrarily.

After landing, Gordon ran forward a few more steps, and then looked back with lingering fear at the huge flying dragon crawling out of the ground.

No wonder this guy is weak in flying. Looking at the wings with thick bones and giant claws, he probably evolved for digging.

This is the first time I have encountered a monster that digs the ground so fast that it cannot even throw sonic bombs.

The Dioceratops returned to the ground and was also out of its angry state, which somewhat relieved Gordon.

Since the weakness was confirmed, the next tactic was also clear - go around the back of the Icerosaurus' butt without any limit, and focus on attacking its tail and legs.

In this way, you can not only get close to the weak point of the one-horned dragon, but also avoid the powerful dragon chariot and horn collision.

The only disadvantage is that the efficiency is very low.

——Almost every time he made a sword move, the one-horned dragon had already turned around before he even had time to draw the sword, and he could only continue to circle around.

The existence of its giant tail and wings made it a very high threat to enemies on both sides and rear of its body. Gordon did not dare to be reckless and could only deal with it slowly.

After all, the extra sword he had was insignificant to the one-horned dragon. If the one-horned dragon hit him head-on, he could only pray that there was a cat cart nearby.

The battle was protracted and intense.

Gordon suddenly understood why the hero of Kokot fought with the one-horned dragon for seven days before finally killing it with great difficulty.

When fighting against monsters of this level, a single mistake could cost you your life, so recklessness and impatience are absolutely unacceptable.

But, I am so thirsty.

The solar energy at noon in the desert bakes people alive.

In the past, I had been relying on the effect of cold drinks to support me. Now the medicinal effects of cold drinks are gradually wearing off, and my body is sweating a lot in order to cool down. If this continues, I will soon become dehydrated.

You must find ways to find opportunities to drink cold drinks.

Just when Gordon had this idea, the sound of a horn and flute came from far away.

"Duwu~duwu~duwu~"

Is it auditory hallucination caused by too much heat? Or is it?

Gordon and Dioceratops looked at the direction of the sound at the same time. A small figure was playing a horn flute on the hillside in the distance.

It's pork chop!

Gordon's mood became excited. Has the trap finally been set?

Seeing that the attention of the one-horned dragon was attracted by the sound of the horn flute, it lowered its head and burrowed into the ground, and began to move in the direction of the pork chop.

Gordon also immediately put away his sword.

It's time to advance the battle to the next stage!

He quickly drank the cold drink and the cold potion slid into his stomach, making his thinking instantly clear.

He did not catch up immediately, but squatted down and started sharpening the knife.

The long battle has reduced the sharpness of the Fire Dragon Flame Sword. Although it is not to the point where it can flick the sword, it is likely that we will not find such a good opportunity to sharpen the sword in the future, so we cannot waste it.

It took less than half a minute to prepare everything, and then Gordon spread his legs and chased in the direction where Pork Chop and Dioceratops left.

He roughly knew the location where Pork Chop set his trap, which was a rocky beach scattered with large and small boulders and stone pillars.

Compared to the empty Gobi where he had fought the Dioceratops before, the rocky beach was a more suitable fighting location - in Stonehenge, the Dioceratops' movements would be greatly restricted, but the hunter would not.

Even if the trap doesn't work, if the pork chop can lure the one-horned dragon there, it can be considered a great success.

Dioceratops dug underground very fast, faster than Gordon could run on the ground.

A few minutes later, the distance between the two had widened to two to three hundred meters.

"Boom!"

Looking at the giant unicorn in the distance that suddenly rushed out of the ground, Gordon's heart skipped a beat.

It wasn't until the smoke and dust dissipated that his eyes once again captured the small figure jumping nimbly among the gravel in front of the one-horned dragon, and his heart fell back into his stomach.

It's okay. Think about it, the little guy is also an expert at digging holes, so he won't be surprised so easily.

The chase between Ellu, the one-horned dragon and the hunter is continuing. The gravel under their feet is getting thicker and thicker, and there are more and more large and small gravels.

The target rock beach is almost there.
