Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 254 Toothache

Like Fengshanlong, Lingshanlong does not have any dominance or symbiotic relationship with the sand fish.

It's just that their actions will pull out nutrients from the depths of the sand sea, thus attracting a large number of sand fish.

Therefore, when sand fish appear in large numbers, the sand fleet's response is to ignore them and leave the fish to the fishing fleet.

The fishermen's banquet began.

On the high-speed sand fishing boat, the harpooners tied themselves to the outside of the boat and threw the harpoon again and again with their strong arms.

The sand fish that are poked will be immediately dragged to the deck by the fishermen.

The fish-cutting knife in the butcher's hand is about one meter long, just like a sharp sword.

In a flash of light, the fish-cutting knife accurately penetrated the opening and closing gills of the sand fish. With a slight stir, the sand fish died immediately.

The fishermen on the deck used drag hooks to drag the sand fish aside, which was still twitching slightly. At this time, the next sand fish was also stabbed by the harpoon hand and dragged up.

Repeatedly, the efficiency is extremely high.

Sand fish that jump onto dragon boats and sand boats will receive extra attention from the harpooners, just like the one that just slapped Hayata's tail.

Before he could bite anyone, he was already stabbed with a harpoon and dragged away.

The two teams have been cooperating like this for countless years and have a tacit understanding. The fishing fleet's fishing operations will not even affect the attack on Lingshan Dragon by the sandy fleet.

The scene seemed noisy and chaotic, but in fact it was orderly.

"There seem to be a lot of sand fish this year?"

"Then let's work harder and don't let them affect the fleet!"

"Huha! What a great harvest!"

The joyful mood among the fishermen also affected the sandy boat group, and everyone's nerves, which were tense due to tension and fear, finally relaxed.

The tragic atmosphere dissipated, and smiles reappeared on the lips of the members of the Sandy Boat Group.

So what about the peak mountain dragon, so what about the spirit mountain dragon, this is a feast in the desert!

Who do you guess the main course is?

The Lingshan dragon is faster and dives deeper? Then change the name of the banquet. Now it is a banquet in the desert!

"Woo——"

The Lingshan Dragon let out a long whale-like cry.

The island-like huge body straightened up, and several large lumps of moist sand erupted from the air holes on its head, drawing high parabola and crashing towards the dragon-fighting boat.

Hayata, who was firing, looked up, quickly estimated the path of the thrown mass, and immediately backed away from the artillery.

The big brother next to her who was operating a heavy bed crossbow seemed to be a little over the top. He laughed and fired the heavy crossbow shells into the Lingshan Dragon's round belly one after another.

"Careful! Dodge!"

"Huh? Wow!"

Huge clumps fell, and sand flew everywhere. The crew member who did not dodge in time was thrown away, fell down the side of the ship, and fell into the sea of ​​sand.

"That idiot."

The captain of the ship, who was always paying attention to everything around him, covered his face helplessly.

"They are all veterans of the war, why are they not as cautious as a little girl who is participating in a battle for the first time?"

The captain sighed, then raised his voice, "Gordon! Go use that heavy crossbow!"

"Huh? Oh, okay!" Gordon ran towards the heavy bed crossbow.

The dragon-attacking boat was on the left side of Lingshan Dragon, galloping alongside it. The two positions were relatively stationary. Hayata did not need his frequent help in adjusting the angle of the muzzle, and he was just free.

He used the winch to open the heavy crossbow, placed a cone-shaped crossbow shell made of pure steel, and after taking aim for a moment, Gordon pulled the trigger.

"Buzz——"

The heavy crossbow shells turned into afterimages and roared out.

Because I forgot to consider the wind direction and the speed relationship with the target, the crossbow shot a little crookedly.

The heavy crossbow shell did not hit the dragon's belly where he aimed, but instead shot diagonally towards the giant tooth on the left side of Lingshan Dragon.

"Tsk." Gordon gasped, but the next scene made his heart beat slightly.

——I thought it was a completely ineffective blow, but it made Lingshan Dragon's head tilt slightly.

"Huh?"

Gordon was a little surprised, but he couldn't tell whether it was a coincidence.

"Captain of the ship! Lingshanlong's left tooth seems a little strange! Let me try shooting there!" Gordon shouted.

"OK!"

Gordon took careful aim and fired the second heavy crossbow arrow.

Failed.

I slightly adjusted the angle and fired the third crossbow arrow, but it still missed.

The distance between the dragon-attacking boat and the Lingshan Dragon was about two hundred meters, and it was late at night. It was really not easy to accurately hit the dragon's teeth that swayed from time to time.

Gordon kept trying, and it wasn't until the sixth time that the heavy crossbow arrow finally landed accurately on the giant tooth on the left side of Lingshan Dragon.

Lingshan Dragon's body trembled again.

Not a coincidence!

After Gordon thought for a moment, he understood what was going on.

"Captain of the ship! The huge tooth on the left side of Lingshan Dragon is injured. It should be caused by the dragon-shooting gun just now!"

In fact, there is no need for Gordon to specifically remind him. After the former started to aim at the left tooth of Lingshan Dragon, the captain of the ship has also been observing with a telescope, and he also discovered this.

The captain of the ship pondered.

Concentrate all the heavy crossbows and attack the left tooth together?

No, you can't do that.

Compared with its huge belly, the target of Lingshan Dragon's left fang is too small. It is very difficult to hit it accurately and you have to rely on some luck.

If all the heavy-duty crossbows were aimed there, it would undoubtedly cause a lot of waste of crossbow shells.

Especially on a sand boat traveling at high speed, it is much more difficult to shoot accurately on a sand boat than on a stable dragon boat.

The most suitable shooting position for attacking the left fang of Lingshan Dragon is the crossbow on the starboard side of the dragon-shooting ship, which is the one operated by Gordon.

"Gordon! You continue to aim at Longya, and the attack positions of the others remain unchanged!"

"okay!"

Gordon, who received the "special mission", no longer considered the shooting speed. He would aim for a long time before each launch, just to improve the hit rate.

Even so, the probability of him successfully hitting Lingshan Dragon's left tooth is less than 20%.

Fortunately, I moved a lot of extra bundles of heavy-duty crossbow shells before setting off.

"Buzz——"

The heavy crossbow projectile shot out, and after flying for about two seconds, it successfully hit the root of the dragon's tooth on the left side of Lingshan Dragon.

The arm-thick cone-shaped crossbow bullet penetrated the crack left by the dragon gun and penetrated deeply into it.

——This is the fifth crossbow arrow that landed on Dragon Tooth.

"Roar!" Lingshan Dragon roared like a landslide.

These crossbow bullets pierced into its teeth could not pose a substantial threat to it, but the pain was unbearable.

Even Gordon, the culprit, felt pain when he looked at it. The feeling was probably similar to using a toothpick to forcefully poke a cavity in a cavity, right?

Alas.

Reishanlong, who was furious due to toothache, moved his body and began to approach Mineyama Maru.

Although the "sharp corners" on the Mineyama Maru make it quite fearful, it still wants to get rid of this weird guy who can "shoot poisonous stings" and give it toothache first.

"Everyone! Prepare for impact!"

Sensing Lingshan Dragon's attack intention, the captain of the ship roared to alert the entire ship.

The sand boats wandering around also began to fire restraint bombs, trying to attract the attention of the Lingshan Dragon again, but unfortunately the effect was not good.

"Maridan, get ready to hit the gong!"

"Nonsense! What's the point of talking? I'm watching!" Maridanbiao picked up the hammer [Big Tiger Pill] with a roar.

Reishanlong was approaching at an angle and was about to hit the starboard side of Mineyama Maru.

"Hey!"

Maridan saw the right moment and swung the sledgehammer in her hand with all her strength.

"哐——"

The big gong shook violently, and the sound of metal that did not exist in nature tore through the night sky.

The Lingshan Dragon, which was approaching rapidly, twitched away as if it had been slapped by an invisible giant hand.

"It's so exciting!"

Ps.

There are three things in the game that can interrupt the attack action of Fengshan Dragon (Lingshan Dragon), the big gong, the dragon gun, and the restraint bullet, but I think the restraint bullet is a bit strange--

Therefore, there is no plot here where restraint bombs are used to directly interrupt the actions of the Lingshan Dragon.
