Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 357 The weakness of Thunder Wolf Dragon is.

"Duh, duh duh."

The cart-pulling bird, which was left in place, kept pecking and scratching the nearby trees with its beak.

It took a long time, but it finally took off the rope tied to its mouth.

"Quack! Quack!" Marutori let out two happy chirps.

There are many bright stars hidden in the surrounding shrubs and grass. They are fireflies.

The perennially humid and warm climate in the stream zone is very suitable for these little creatures to live in. Even in December, you can still see them.

In the fluorescent ocean composed of countless fireflies, there are some particularly bright light groups.

If fireflies are flames, they are bright bonfires. One or two can illuminate a large area of ​​shrubs and grass.

These are thunder bugs.

Due to the strong current released at the moment of death, smaller animals will even be electrocuted directly. This leaves them with almost no natural enemies. Many animals that feed on insects can only walk around when they see them.

However, it is only "almost".

A lightning bug confidently landed on the trunk of a small tree, penetrated the bark with its mouthparts, and drank the sugar-rich sap underneath.

Marutori beside the tree tilted his head and looked at the lightning bug.

After pulling the car for a long time, it was already hungry.

After staring blankly for a while, Marutori suddenly stretched out its long, flat beak and caught the lightning bug in one bite.

"Crack!"

The dazzling electric light flashed away, and Marutori shook his head, raised his neck and swallowed the lightning bug that was bitten into pieces.

The flat and long horny beak of Marutori is completely insulated, and they are one of the very few creatures that can feed on lightning bugs.

The lightning bug seemed to suit its taste, and Marutori happily "croaked" twice.

Looking left and right, I found that there were many more among the bushes in the grass. It took a bite from the left and a bite from the right and began to eat the big meal.

These things are much more delicious than feed.

While Marutori was eating happily, a huge figure slowly approached from behind.

The steps of the visitor were gentle and silent, but the heavy steps inevitably caused some vibrations on the ground.

Marutori raised his head alertly, and before he could look back, a huge beast's mouth full of sharp teeth had already arrived.

"Quack--!"

Marutori's screams pierced the night sky and stopped suddenly.

coming.

The three hunters in the tree hole opened their eyes at the same time.

No one spoke, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Hunting at night was not a wise choice, and it was best to avoid it if possible.

The Thunder Wolf that swallowed Marutori walks in the night forest.

Following its pace, arcs flashed faintly in the pale electrified hairs on its body. The attracted lightning bugs gradually gathered and burrowed into the gaps between its hair and carapace to rest.

It smelled strange.

Thunder Wolf Dragon's eyes focused on the Marutori car parked by the forest road.

It leaned over and sniffed, then smashed the car to pieces in annoyance.

Sure enough, there was an intruder, a new intruder.

It sniffed left and right a few times, catching and distinguishing the remaining odor molecules in the air, and turned its gaze in a certain direction.

over there.

Feng Ying looked very nervous as she looked out through the cracks in the trees.

She mouthed: "Here it comes!"

Maka was a little annoyed. She should have asked Hayata and the others to "cover up the smell" earlier. On this short walk to the tree hole, there would be lingering breath.

Hayata made a "waiting" gesture and then a "ready to fight" gesture.

The direction of the Thunder Wolf Dragon's movement was very clear, and they could no longer hide it.

If a battle is unavoidable, you must find a way to seize the opportunity. With three people, a cat, and a strange-faced tribe huddled in this small tree hole, it is not easy to form a battle formation.

Two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters, the Thunder Wolf Dragon is getting closer and closer.

"Amber." Hayata said in a very low voice.

Feng Ying understood and whistled softly.

"Woof woof woof!" Amber immediately rushed out from the bushes where he was hiding and roared loudly at the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

The sudden provocation caught the Thunder Wolf Dragon's attention. It puffed up its chest and responded with a long, louder howl.

"Ouch——!"

"Feng Ying, please protect yourself."

Hayata gave a final reminder, "Get out!"

Having said that, Hayata was the first to rush out of the tree hole. As the strongest person in the current temporary team, she must shoulder the important task of containing the monster head-on.

"Babakar, come on! Chichi, bite it on the head and see if it can come back with lipstick!" Maka shouted something that no one except the insect stick user could understand, and followed him.

After eating and resting for a while, she felt that she was in good condition and it was time to take revenge!

The last one to leave the tree hole was Feng Ying.

It's not that she is timid, but the two seniors arranged it for her. Who told her to be at the bottom regardless of hunter level, strength, experience or equipment?

When Feng Ying, who was holding her breath, approached the Thunder Wolf Dragon, Hayata and Maka had already fought against the giant blue wolf.

Watching the thunder wolf dragon's huge claws being swung out of the way, Hayata smashed a big tree, and its long tail was dodged by Maka's backflip, smashing another big tree.

Feng Ying swallowed secretly.

Why are you holding back your anger? I just poked the tip of my tail.

"Xianglan, why are you here again?!"

"Feng Ying is meow!"

In front of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, Hayata looked calm.

This was her first time in a team battle, as the main vanguard, fighting against a high-danger monster like the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

At this time, her mental pressure was even greater than when she was hunting alone - she not only had to be responsible for herself, but also had to become the backbone of the team.

As long as she can firmly contain the Thunder Wolf Dragon from the front, her teammates will not be in much danger.

She recalled the teachings of her master Amos.

The key is information.

There is really too little information about Thunder Wolf Dragon. It is weak to ice, weak to water, weak to fire, and can use charging to strengthen itself, etc. This is just the most basic information.

She still didn't know anything about the fleshy parts and movement habits, so she could only confirm it by herself.

Therefore, after the battle began, Hayata did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he continued to dodge the Thunder Wolf Dragon's attacks, occasionally fighting back cautiously, while constantly observing and trying.

After seeing the cut, she picked up the Thunder Wolf Dragon's chin, and the dull feeling made her frown.

With the sharpness of the Night Knife [Moon Shadow], although it cut open the carapace of the Thunder Wolf Dragon's jaw, the wound was not deep and there was not even any blood.

The heads of most monsters are relatively fragile, which can be regarded as a "universal" weakness.

However, Thunder Wolfosaurus has horns on its head and a sharp hard shell with a horn-like structure on its jaws, so its meat quality is really not that good.

Hayata flipped sideways in the air to avoid the collision of the thunder wolf dragon's horns, landed on the ground, turned around and swung his sword horizontally, the blade cutting into the shoulder of the thunder wolf dragon.

"Zi——"

The blade of Night Knife [Moon Shadow] made a cut mark on the overlapping golden carapace on the shoulder of the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

The force of the rebound made her palms numb, and Hayata couldn't help but tighten her hands holding the sword.

No, the meat here is harder.

Her eyes scanned rapidly, and the results of her observations made her even more headache-y.

The forelimbs and chest of Thunder Wolf Dragon are also covered with carapace of similar structure, and the bulging muscles are frighteningly strong, obviously not a weak point.

In comparison, among the parts on the front of the Thunder Wolf Dragon that I can reach, is the head really considered a "weak point"?
