Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 257 Prepare to ascend the dragon!

The attack target of the sand fleet group shifted from the belly of Lingshan Dragon to behind the purple crystal cluster behind it.

Regardless of whether the combat goal of weakening its physical strength can be achieved, at least Lingshan Dragon has become much calmer.

The reason is actually very simple - it doesn't hurt when hit there.

Those vein-like purple crystal clusters seem to grow on the back of Lingshan Dragon, but they are not part of the biological tissue. At most, they are some secretions. The former will naturally not feel pain.

Thus, a long war of attrition began.

The ultimate goal of the Sandy Ship Group is not to kill the Lingshan Dragon. In fact, this majestic creature with a body length of more than one hundred meters is almost impossible to be killed by external forces.

They only need to block the forward route of Lingshan Dragon and keep Lingshan Dragon away from Lockak.

However, this goal is not as easy to achieve as it sounds.

Lockak seems to have something that attracts Fengshan Dragon and Lingshan Dragon.

The sand fleet can only force Lingshan Dragon to change its forward route by continuously attacking and then using restraint bombs to pull it.

No one knows when Lingshan Dragon will get tired, give up and leave.

Until then, they can only hold on.

Fortunately, those who work hard in this "banquet in the desert" will always be rewarded.

Whenever the bullets of the heavy bed crossbow hit the purple crystals on the back of Lingshan Dragon, crystal fragments would collapse.

The effect of the artillery is even more remarkable, each shell can blow up a large piece.

These crystals are scattered on the sea of ​​sand, reflecting attractive fluorescence under the moonlight.

When the battle is over, the Sand Ship Group will collect these crystals. No one will doubt the value of these crystals. Ordinary businessmen are not even qualified to buy them!

By then, everyone will receive generous rewards.

So the captain didn't need to worry about morale at all, he was worried about other things.

When the moon reached its zenith, what he worried about most finally happened.

——The crew member responsible for managing the arsenal came over and reported in a low voice that the remaining heavy crossbow shells on the dragon-attacking ship were less than 30% and the cannon shells were less than 20%.

This was also thanks to his temporary order to carry more ammunition before departure, otherwise the ammunition might have been exhausted by this time.

This can't go on like this!

The effect of destroying the crystal on the back of Lingshan Dragon is still unknown. If the last ammunition is used up, then they will be too passive.

"Command all ships to stop attacking!" the captain of the ship ordered in a low voice.

While the trumpeter and flag bearer conveyed the order, the captain of the ship took out his telescope and carefully observed the movements of Lingshan Dragon.

The latter's state is quite calm. Although it is a bit risky, it can only be done now.

"Teams 4 and 56 are cruising on standby. Teams 1, 2 and 3, together with Mineyama Maru, aim at the back and fire restraint rounds in preparation for the dragon battle."

After the order was issued, the Mineyama Maru and the sand boats participating in the dragon boarding fired restraining rounds to connect the hull to the Lingshan Dragon.

Since the impact points of the restraining bullets were on the thick part of the Lingshan Dragon's back carapace and did not penetrate deep into the flesh, it just twisted its body and did not react too violently.

This made the captain of the ship breathe a sigh of relief.

"stick it on!"

The winch rotated rapidly, driving the dragon boat and sand boat to approach Lingshan Dragon.

Hunters and members of the fortress guerrillas came to the side of the ship one after another, checking the equipment, rubbing their hands and moving their limbs.

It's their turn to play.

Gordon Hayata and Pork Chop also retreated from the positions of heavy crossbows and artillery, and joined the team that climbed into the dragon.

This is their "job".

"Hey!"

With a muffled sound of "bang", Maridan jumped directly from the high platform at the stern to the side of the ship.

If the deck hadn't been made entirely of tough knotty wood, it would have been smashed through by this fierce woman armed with a sledgehammer.

She twisted her thick neck and made a heart-breaking "click" sound.

"It's been a long time since I've been here. I've only swung a hammer once, and it hit the gong. My bones are itching."

Gordon put on his helmet, adjusted it, and joked with a smile: "Senior Maridan, please calm down a little and don't make a big spin and throw us all out."

"Hahaha!"

"Then our small body is really too much to handle!"

Several hunters and guerrillas beside him cheered together.

The forthright "Black Boom Dragon" didn't mind this kind of teasing at all. She bared her white teeth and said, "Okay, I'll work harder in a while so that you don't feel the pain."

Everyone burst into laughter again, and all the tension in their hearts dissipated.

The dragon-fighting boat also landed next to Lingshan Dragon at this time.

"I'm going to charge first!" Maridan yelled without even looking at the rope.

The legs jumped up with force, turned a few somersaults in the air, and then landed on the stubby legs of Lingshan Dragon. Then, using the raised carapace on the rough skin of Lingshan Dragon, he quickly climbed up the dragon's back.

The combatants cheered, some climbed up the rope, and some imitated Maridan and jumped onto the dragon's legs. Each showed their magical powers and quickly climbed onto the dragon.

Hayata's movements were swift and agile, and he didn't even use his hands during the climb. He touched the ridges on his carapace with his feet and leaped up.

Gordon, who was wearing heavy armor and carrying a big sword on his back, was more helpless. He was very strong, but his flexibility was much worse than the former, so he had to climb up obediently, using his hands and feet.

The people who climbed onto the Lingshan Dragon's Back quickly dispersed.

There was no need to choose the attack position, and there was nothing to choose. Everywhere he looked were large pieces of purple crystal clusters. Gordon randomly found a spot that had been bombarded by artillery shells and was covered in cracks and looked relatively loose. He stood there.

Draw your sword and prepare to charge up for a slash.

"boom!"

The Fire Dragon Sword slashed down, and when flames burst out, large chunks of crystal collapsed.

Not resistant to high temperatures?

Gordon grinned when he saw this.

A strong charged stance, a strong charged slash, followed closely by the most powerful true charged slash!

After a set of charged combos ended, the huge crystal cluster as tall as a person in front of Gordon had completely shattered into countless fragments.

"Aha! Well done, look at me!"

The muscles of Maridan's arms stood high, and the hammer [Dahumaru] was like a continuous hammering of crystal clusters, followed by a round upward swing (home run, or pressure), the same

Easily smash the crystal cluster in front of her,

In terms of damage capabilities alone, heavy weapons such as swords and sledgehammers have unparalleled advantages.

In comparison, Hayata who uses the tachi is slightly embarrassed.

After several consecutive sword strikes to build up sword power, a red light of air blade floated on the flying dragon sword [Kui]. Hayata let out a light drink and launched the air blade to slash continuously!

The sword flashed rapidly.

However, a whole set of cuts only left a few long, narrow and deep knife marks on the purple crystal cluster in front of her.

Such an attack might be able to easily cut off the monster's muscles, but there's nothing you can do with "stones" like crystal clusters.

Not far from Hayata, Cessna, who had just climbed onto the back of the dragon, behaved in the same way.

She drew her swords and clashed their blades.

The ghosts dance wildly!

After a while of tinkling, the crystal cluster was no big deal, but it made her wrist numb.

An old member of the fortress guerrillas who climbed up behind her saw this and said angrily: "What are you doing? Use a pickaxe!"

"Oh!" Cessna blushed, put away her swords, and took off the pickaxe from behind.

Hayata suddenly realized that he was imitating the others. He sheathed his sword and prepared to pull out his pickaxe and strike at the crystal cluster.

But at this moment, Pork Chop's labored voice came from below.

"Help, help, help me, meow"

Hayata looked over and was surprised to find that Pork Chop, who was only a little over one meter tall, was struggling to climb up on top of a two-meter-high super giant bomb barrel.
