Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 344 Isn’t this exciting?

"I'm going to chop up that bunch of rotten bananas!" Feng Ying was really angry.

Underage girls are more likely to be emotional. When they see beautiful things being destroyed, they will inevitably be a little uncontrollable in anger.

"calm."

Ancier reminded, "We will hunt it down, don't go up to it."

Feng Ying took a deep breath, "I understand."

Over there, Gordon, who had confirmed the traces, stood up and said, "Feng Ying, it's up to you to lead the trail. The difficulty should be very low this time."

Feng Ying nodded, carefully observed the footprints left by the purple water beast, and after confirming the direction in which the latter left, she quickly moved forward.

Hayata was behind her, keeping a few meters away.

In this way, Feng Ying will not be disturbed, and support can be provided in time if an accident occurs.

As an amphibious monster, the purple water beast leaves very obvious traces.

Not to mention the footprints, its fat belly and the huge spongy water storage organ on its neck will drag obvious drag marks on the soft mud.

Even in areas with hard soil, the venom dripping along the road is the best guide.

There are actually many monsters with venom glands, such as red velociraptor, poisonous dog dragon, fire dragon, etc., but most of these monsters only use venom for hunting or against enemies.

There are few monsters that spread venom everywhere as pointlessly as the Purple Water Beast.

After investigation, the scholars of the Scriveners Team discovered that the purple water beasts are not actually an independent species, and they are not even considered a "subspecies" in a strict sense.

They are mutated water beasts. In the spongy organs used to store water, they have developed poison glands that can secrete highly toxic substances. This also causes the large amount of water stored in the spongy substances to be infected with highly toxic substances.

Sponge is originally an organ used by water beasts to keep their bodies moist, but for purple water beasts, it is no longer water that keeps their bodies moist, but venom.

In fact, if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that the purple color on the purple water beast is the color of the venom, and the parts not soaked by the venom are bright yellow like ordinary water beasts.

As for why the purple water beast cannot become an independent species, the key lies in its venom.

Aquatic beasts are a gregarious species, and the small monster aquatic beasts that can often be seen around them are actually the female individuals in the group.

They will also be poisoned by the venom of the purple water beast...

In other words, there is no chance for purple water beasts to mate with aquatic animals and pass on their genes.

This is why water beasts are always surrounded by groups of wives and concubines, while purple water beasts can only move alone.

"It's really sad to think about it this way. Being single is so psychologically distorted that it's like taking revenge on nature." Gordon muttered, recalling the ecological information about the purple water beast.

"What are you mumbling about..."

Anhill, who was walking not far in front of Gordon, turned back to look at him speechlessly.

Suddenly, Feng Ying, who was walking at the front of the team and leading the way, raised her hand.

The entire team immediately stopped moving.

"What did you find?" Gordon stepped forward and asked.

At this time, they came to a pebbly river beach. In front of them was a stream that was waist deep and had a gentle flow.

"It crawled into the stream."

Feng Ying stared at the traces that disappeared by the stream, her expression a little tangled, "The bottom of the stream is full of pebbles, and there are no traces left."

"What about using your brain?"

Feng Ying held her head and thought hard for a long time, and said with a sad face: "I want to... I can't think about it..."

Gordon: "..."

Hayata on the side suggested, "Maybe we can check the fish and shrimp in the water?"

Gordon and Ancil looked at each other and sighed together.

Both girls are lacking in experience.

"This is living water. Even if the purple water beast poisons the fish in this section of the river, after the poison is diluted, it won't take long for fish from upstream and downstream to roam over."

Gordon explained as he walked upstream.

Feng Ying Hayata followed obediently, while Anxier picked up the heavy crossbow and stood guard for Gordon's temporary teaching.

Gordon rummaged around the stream and pulled out a few snails from under large pebbles. He looked at them and found that they were alive.

Feng Ying and Hayata suddenly realized that they trotted all the way downstream and turned over a few large rocks. The snails and shellfish they saw were either dead, or even if they were not dead, they did not look very energetic.

"It's going downstream!" Feng Ying cheered.

Gordon didn't bother to preach any more. These are the results of accumulated experience. After hunting for a long time, he will naturally master them.

In Changshi's case, an old hunter like Liangxiong who has been hunting for most of his life might not even need to turn over the rocks, but would be able to find details that they could not notice with just a quick glance.

The team set off again and walked along the stream for a few kilometers before finally spotting the purple water beast.

It was lying leisurely and dozing in the stream, with streams of purple venom seeping out from the spongy organs on its head and neck, blending into the stream, and flowing down the river.

There are no fish or shrimps in the surrounding river sections. They have been overturned by the poison and washed downstream.

Such a scene made the hunters' teeth itch.

After briefly checking the surrounding environment and confirming that there were no other monsters nearby, Gordon said: "It's not convenient to fight in the stream. Ancil, lure it out."

"Master Gordon, do you want to kill without sleep?" Feng Ying asked, blinking.

The monster is sleeping.

Gordon's face turned dark when he heard this, "Didn't you see that the water is purple? Do you want me to be poisoned by entering Mian Zhan?"

"oh!"

"Get ready for battle." Anhir loaded the bolt machine, reminded his friends, and started shooting.

"Bang! Bang!"

The fire bomb exploded on the purple water beast's spongy organ that looked like a rotten banana, and the venom splashed in the shining flames.

The purple water beast was awakened from its sleep and twisted its body to get up. It looked around, and after noticing the hunters on the riverside, it let out an angry roar.

It hates fire the most.

Gordon glanced at Feng Ying calmly from the corner of his eye.

Gordon was satisfied when he found that the little girl had picked up the sword and shield, but was only protecting Ancil's side and had no intention of rushing forward.

At this time, the purple water beast had left the stream and climbed up to the river bank. Its fat body twisted left and right and attacked here.

The movements look clumsy, but the speed is not slow.

Gordon and Hayata exchanged glances and rushed forward together.

As usual, Gordon hit the monster from the front, while Hayata took a circuitous route to the side of the monster and carried out guerrilla attacks.

Gordon rushed straight in front of the monster and swung his sword with a draw, but the purple water beast showed surprising flexibility at this time.

It shrank its head and neck to avoid this preemptive strike.

The attack failed, and Gordon didn't care. His tactical goal had been achieved - the purple water beast's footsteps were stopped.

Observing the movements of the purple water beast carefully, Gordon continued to take a big step forward, twisting his waist and swinging his arms, and slashed out with his sword.

The heavy sword [Wang Hu], with its center of gravity placed very far forward, shows astonishing power with the support of the user's strong arm strength.

The claw blade composed of the claws of the booming dragon pops out of the sword body, and the nails are embedded in the side of the purple water beast.

As the sword continued to be swung, the claw blade tore open the wound and knocked the latter's head to the side.

"Ouch!"

Gordon grinned, "Who says it's hard to control? Isn't this feeling very exciting!"
