Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 255 It shouldn’t be too dangerous, meow

The Lingshan Dragon was shaken away from Fengshan Maru by the big gong, which made everyone in the Sandy Boat Group heave a sigh of relief.

Although the heavy bed crossbow on the sand boat can make Lingshan Dragon feel "pain", it is difficult to determine the outcome.

It's like stabbing someone with a cactus thorn. It hurts, but it's very difficult to stab someone alive.

Therefore, Mineyama Maru, who possesses the decisive weapon Dragon-Smashing Spear, has become the absolute core of the battle. As long as Mineyama Maru can be kept, Sand Ship can even sacrifice itself.

For example, now, in order to avoid the Lingshan Dragon from looking for dragon boats to cause trouble again.

Several sand boats used restraint bombs to connect themselves to Lingshan Dragon, and began to turn their winches and ropes to actively move closer to Lingshan Dragon.

They plan to board the dragon's back and attack.

"Send the signal and stop boarding the dragon!" the captain of the ship quickly issued the order.

Climbing on the back of a dragon to attack or mine minerals can generally only be done when the target is tired or emotionally stable.

Otherwise it will be very easy to be thrown off.

Although Lingshan Dragon had just been knocked back by the big gong, he was obviously in a very excited state.

It’s too dangerous to climb the dragon at this time!

However, the crew members of the sand fleet, who were equally excited, did not notice the signal from the dragon-attacking ship, and they may have selectively ignored the order from the captain of the fleet.

There were at least four sand boats, still approaching Lingshan Dragon persistently, gradually approaching the latter.

Several brave hunters or fortress guerrillas have already grabbed the rope and used all four limbs to climb towards the Lingshan Dragon.

"Stop shooting!" The captain of the ship reluctantly issued an order to stop shooting.

First, he was afraid of further angering Lingshan Dragon, and more importantly, he was worried about accidental injury.

The power of heavy crossbows and artillery may not be able to really harm Lingshan Dragon, but if it falls on humans, it will definitely end in pieces.

The first one to land on the back of the Lingshan Dragon was a local hunter from Lockark, a three-star sword user.

After staggering for two steps and barely regaining his balance, he had no time to think about anything else and directly picked up the sword and began to prepare to charge up the sword.

"Qiang!"

The big sword was swung down and smashed a piece of amethyst, which was then bounced back by the sword. The attack effect was not too obvious.

This feeling is like cutting down a mountain with a big sword.

Lingshan Dragon didn't feel pain, but those slight vibrations made it shake at will.

For hunters trying to climb back, this is like the earth shaking.

The swordsman who was the first to board the dragon's back was thrown away. Several people who were still hanging on the ropes and climbing also fell down. Even several sand boats that were leaning near the Lingshan Dragon were thrown away. Almost capsized.

"Send the retreat signal again and ask them to stop boarding the dragon!" the captain of the ship shouted the order.

Just when everyone in the Sandy Fleet was trying their best to entangle the Lingshan Dragon.

Lockrak, which is twenty kilometers away.

A peregrine falcon rode through the night and landed on a railing somewhere in the hunter's gathering place.

The guild staff gently stroked and comforted the obviously frightened Peregrine Falcon, took off the small metal tube used to store important letters from its legs, and hurriedly ran to the guild leader.

"Urgent message from Dondoruma." The staff member whispered in the guild leader's ear.

The guild leader, who was feeling a little irritable, quickly took the mailbox, took out the rolled letter paper, checked the sealing wax of the guild seal on it, and quickly opened it to read.

[Based on searching and inferring the literature at the time you provided, the target is likely to be the subspecies Fengshansaurus, Lingshansaurus.

Lingshan Dragon is a mysterious ancient dragon that lives in the deepest part of the sand sea. It almost never emerges from the sand, so there are very few sighting records, and they are all on full moon nights. Therefore, it is inferred that their whereabouts are related to the lunar phenomenon.

They swallow the quartz-rich minerals deep in the sand sea, fuse with body fluids and precipitate from the back, eventually turning into special ores like purple crystals.

By studying a very small number of amethyst samples in the Gulong Observation Bureau, we found that this kind of crystal is not resistant to high temperatures.

Therefore, it is inferred that flames may be more effective against Lingshan Dragon.

In addition, scholars speculate that the special crystal behind Lingshan Dragon may also be the source of their amazing physical strength. Destroying the crystal in large quantities may make them tired and weak.

Hope this information helps.

——Gulong Observation Bureau.]

The guild leader pounded the table angrily.

The information sent by the Gulong Observation Bureau was very useful, but it was a pity that it was half a day late.

"This information must be sent to the Sandy Ship Group immediately. If you have any suggestions, please put them forward!" The guild leader looked around.

The people who can act as his "consultants" at this time include the staff just now, his wife who came to deliver food to him, the waitress on duty, the temporary waiter Ai Xia, and the little Ailu Xianglan in Ai Xia's arms.

"Is the peregrine falcon okay?" the president's wife suggested.

The guild staff shook their heads, "I'm afraid not. The perception of animals is much more sensitive than that of humans. Even at a distance of dozens of kilometers, the peregrine falcons are as frightened as sparrows. They don't dare to fly towards the ship group."

"Sand ship? Fast airship?" Ai Xia made two suggestions one after another.

The guild leader pinched his beard and said: "There is a high-speed mobile battle over there. I am afraid that the sand boats cannot catch up with them, but we should send them out.

A powered airship should be the best way, notify the airship immediately to prepare for takeoff!"

The guild staff ran away quickly.

"Then how can the airship deliver the letter to the ship?" The waitress carefully raised a blind spot.

The guild leader's face darkened.

This is indeed a very serious problem. With the monsoon roaring now, it is already very difficult for the powered airship to approach the airspace near the convoy, and it is impossible to descend.

The turbulent and strong airflow near the ground will smash the airship into pieces on the sandy sea.

"Is it okay to use a signal light?" Ai Xia suggested again, "Extract the important information in the letter and use the signal light to communicate repeatedly in the air. The people in the Sand Ship Group should notice it."

The sales lady clapped her hands happily and said, "This is a good idea!"

The guild leader picked up a pen and scrawled on a piece of paper the following sentence: "Weak point is fire. Attacking crystals may weaken physical strength."

Then he frowned and said: "But this is still not safe. The dark night, sand and dust, and intense fighting may cause the sandy fleet to fail to obtain information.

Considering the brightness of the signal lights, the airship cannot fly too high, and low-altitude turbulence is also a big risk."

Pandan in Ai Xia's arms suddenly jumped onto the table.

It didn't know where it got the courage, so it meowed loudly: "Meow! I can go deliver the letter, meow!"

Everyone's attention was focused on Xiao Ailu.

"How do you want to send it?" The guild leader was confused.

Xianglan scratched her ears, and said with a trill at the end, "I, I used to jump over the parachute from the top of the mast of the dragon boat in Balubare."

Everyone: "."

I don't know whether to call this guy brave or timid.

"It's too dangerous!"

Ai Xia tried to carry Pandan back, but the latter jumped aside.

"I, I want to try it, meow!" It hugged its head and encouraged itself, "Even if the parachute fails and it falls on the sand, I can still burrow into the ground and hide.

Yes, it shouldn’t be too dangerous, meow?”

"Are you serious?" The guild leader stared into little Ellu's round eyes.

Xianglan mustered up the courage to look at him, "Senior Zhupa said that if you want to be a hunting cat, you have to take the first step, meow!"

The guild leader was silent for a moment and exhaled.

"Your first step is a bit big."

(There is another chapter tonight, paralysis.

Ps.

I forgot where I saw the saying that the Lingshan Dragon's crystal is the source of its physical strength. Was it on a forum or in a game?

This was also mentioned in the video on Station B explaining the ecology of Fengshanlong.

I can’t guarantee that it’s an official design, but I think it’s reasonable (reasonable under mh’s worldview), so I’ll use it here.
