Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 355 The Fall of the Red Bird

The continuous high-intensity attacks and singing, coupled with the accumulation of injuries, made the red bird a little tired.

Logically speaking, this was a good time to use the Charged Slash, but Gordon did not choose to do so.

He almost completely gave up on using charged slashes, and just kept getting closer, using faster moves such as drawing swords and vertical slashes, repeatedly harassing the red bird, leaving the latter unable to sing and unable to take care of the heavy crossbowman who continued to fire.

This is the most stable tactic.

Although the red bird has a stronger body and tougher scales and feathers than ordinary colorful birds, its small size is still a "flaw".

Gordon, who is tall and heavily armored, can even use the iron mountain support on his shoulders to directly disrupt the red bird's pace and balance.

This is impossible to do when facing those large monsters that are often twenty meters long.

Of course the red bird wants to fight back, but its more powerful attacks require some preparation time, such as continuous pecks, or the electric shock of tourmaline collision.

Gordon refused to give it this time.

In order to maintain the interference, he sometimes had no time to flip the blade, and would even directly strike with the back of the sword without the claw blade.

It doesn’t matter how much damage it causes, as long as it can interrupt the movement of the red bird.

"Gahwu!"

Another strike with the back of the sword hit the side of the red bird's slender neck, interrupting its pecking. The heavy blade was like a sledgehammer, making the red bird stagger.

Gordon caught the flaw in the red bird's unstable center of gravity, shortened his body slightly, and swung his sword horizontally - in an attempt to further damage the red bird's balance and force it to fall.

The timing of this sword strike was very good, and the red bird's not-so-thick bird's feet were lifted off the ground by his slash, and it was about to trip over.

Anhir was ready to shout "Great job".

However, the red bird showed amazing combat experience and balance at this time.

It flapped its wings vigorously, and the strong wind caused Gordon to retreat while also bearing the weight of his body.

Not only did it not fall, but it flew up in a low-altitude posture.

Gordon blocked his sword in front of him and tried to get closer despite the strong wind. However, the intensity of this wind pressure was not inferior to that of a large flying dragon like the fire dragon.

Unless equipped with special structural armor designed to withstand wind pressure, no hunter can move freely in such strong winds.

This is also the red bird's most troublesome move for Gordon.

With Flash, he can block and ignore, leap and shock, peck, charge, and sing. He also has ways to deal with it.

With only this wind pressure, he really couldn't resist it.

The previous hit by the tail flick was also the result of being suppressed by the wind pressure, making it impossible for him to dodge or defend in time.

"Meow!"

Pork Chop, who quietly approached from the side, threw a small barrel of explosive bombs, trying to attack the red bird suspended in mid-air.

Before the bomb barrel could land on the red bird, it was blown away by the strong wind set off by the pair of fleshy wings.

It almost missed Gordon.

"Sorry meow!"

"fine!"

The farther away from the red bird, the weaker the wind pressure. Gordon, who was blown some distance away by the strong wind, was already able to take action. He tried to throw a flash bomb.

In order to throw the flash bomb in front of the colorful bird against the wind pressure, he used much more strength than usual.

The location of the flash bomb explosion was well grasped, and the bright light almost erupted right in front of the red bird's eyes.

Embarrassingly, it has no effect.

Gordon grinned self-deprecatingly, thinking about it, the red bird can emit flash by itself, and the brightness is much higher than the flash bombs used by hunters, so how can it be afraid of strong light?

"boom!"

Ancier opened fire, and the roar this time was obviously duller than when he fired ice shells before.

It's an armor-piercing grenade!

The armor-piercing grenade has a huge and heavy body, which makes it have better wind interference performance than other crossbows.

But even so, the armor-piercing grenade still failed to hit the red bird. The trajectory drifted past it a few meters away and exploded in the air.

"boom!"

There was another muffled sound, and this time the sound of the cannon fire was obviously much closer, as if it was right behind the ear?

Gordon turned his head to the side and checked with his peripheral vision.

Ancier actually took the initiative to walk to a position close to him, holding a heavy crossbow and continuing to walk forward.

Is this guy trying to break through the wind pressure by shortening the flight distance of the crossbow?

"boom!"

Unfortunately, the armor-piercing grenade still missed, but flew past the red bird and exploded in the distance.

But Ancier smiled and said, "Get ready to charge."

Then, he half-crouched down and entered the squatting shooting mode.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Ancier reloaded at an extremely fast speed and fired three armor-piercing grenades in succession.

The armor-piercing grenade seemed to be flying in the wrong direction, but under the influence of the airflow raised by the wings of the red bird, it just happened to hit the latter.

Two on the chest and one on the base of the wing.

Gordon also smiled, and regardless of the howling wind, he put his palm on the hilt of his sword and started charging directly.

Two seconds later, three consecutive explosions sounded loudly.

Amidst the fire and loud noise, the red bird flying in the sky screamed and fell down.

Gordon also rushed in front of it at this time, switching the charging posture as quickly as possible. After a not too long preparation, he really charged up and slashed, falling heavily.

"Gah!"

The red bird screamed, and the sword not only opened a huge crack in its head and neck, but also cracked the mallet-shaped resonating beak.

"not enough."

Gordon recalled the sword he had used to kill the colorful bird before, rolled and adjusted his position, and came to the side of the red bird's neck. He stood up and charged up his strength again.

This time, he aimed at the junction of the head and neck of the red bird.

——The previous clean and tidy kills have proved that the cervical spine is the weakest point in the bones of the colorful bird clan.

The big sword [Wang Hu] roared and slashed down.

It is difficult for the claw-shaped hooked blade to cut anything directly, but its "point" destructive power is undoubtedly greater than those of smooth-designed sword blades.

The two longest and sharpest fangs at the head of the sword, with the blessing of the true charged slashing force, easily penetrated the red bird's neck skin, which was covered with fine scales.

Muscles and tendons are equally as fragile as nothing in front of these two sharp teeth.

They were like steel nails smashed into a wooden board, wedged into the gap between the neck bones of the red bird. With a crisp "click" sound, the slender neck of the red bird bent at a weird angle.

The fleshy wings that kept flapping and the feet kicked twice as if they were electrocuted, and finally collapsed.

Life disappears, red bird, hunting is successful.

Gordon stepped on the red bird's forehead and forcefully pulled out the big sword [Wang Hu] stuck between the neck bones.

He took a long breath and said: "It's finally over. This guy is more troublesome than I thought."

Ancier folded and put away the heavy crossbow and walked over, "Yes, I originally thought that it didn't have much ability other than summoning monsters to invade, but it seems that I still underestimate it."

"Strip away the material, I'll be on guard." Gordon simply shook off the blood on the sword and carried it behind his back.

"I have no interest in this guy's material."

"Me too, but I can peel it off and sell it for money. After all, it is a rare subspecies, so it should have good sales."

"What I don't need most is money."

"Okay, just be careful and I'll peel it off."
