Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 376 Dangerous Tracking

According to the original plan of Gordon and others, by analyzing the traces left by the Thunder Wolf Dragon group in the ruins of the village, they confirmed the approximate number of the attacking Thunder Wolf Dragon.

It's time to start tracking the footsteps he left.

The appearance of the Thunder Wolf Dragon disrupted their plans on the one hand, and also gave them a better tracking target on the other.

——How can tracking traces be as good as directly tracking the target?

The reason why the Thunder Wolf Dragon came to wander around here may indeed be to look for food.

Julius's two Maru Birds played their due role. The Maru Bird's "croak" call was heard in the distance. The Thunder Wolf Dragon, which was still a hundred or two hundred meters away from the ruins of the village, suddenly raised its head and sniffed left and right.

.

Then he ran at full speed in the direction where the two Marutori escaped.

Nadia, who was hiding behind a chimney on a roof somewhere, took her eyes away from the sight and focused on the Thunder Wolf Dragon with her eyes instead.

The Thunder Wolf Dragon running at full speed was very fast, and she felt like she couldn't capture it with the scope.

"It has such a speed under normal conditions. According to what they said, there is also a 'supercharged' enhanced state? It's really magical nature."

Nadia muttered a few words to herself, put away her light crossbow, and jumped off the roof.

Thunder Wolf Dragon has already chased Marutori into the woods. If she stays here, she won't be able to see anything. She knows Julius very well, so she should take a step forward next.

Four hunters met on the main road in the center of the village.

Julius said directly: "We started tracking. There is a high probability that the Thunder Wolf Dragon will return to its lair after filling its stomach. There should be gains if you decorate it.

Be careful to stay downwind as much as possible. Sulfur can mask the smell, but it does not eliminate it. You may still be discovered if you are not careful."

Gordon suggested: "I suggest that Pork Chop approach and follow. We keep a safe distance of more than one kilometer and follow the marks left by Pork Chop."

Julius nodded immediately, "It's a good idea. Elu will be less likely to attract attention."

"I want to go to Meow too?"

Maybe it's because Julius has a stronger aura? Pandan didn't jump and shout to go like usual, but looked like a good boy asking for advice.

Piggyao tightened the cat armor on his body, "Let's go together, meow. If necessary, you can run on both sides to send messages, meow."

"Good meow!" Xianglan also followed suit and straightened the cat sword.

Two hunting cats galloped into the woods.

The hunters set off immediately behind them, with Julius leading the way at the front, Nadia in the middle, Hayata protecting from the side, and Gordon taking charge of the rear.

It didn't take long for Xianglan to run back, "Both of the two pill birds were eaten, meow. The big guy slowed down and started to go to the west. Meow, Pig Chop said be careful not to chase too close."

Meow."

The hunters nodded and Pandan ran away.

The little guy seemed very excited to be able to participate in the "special operation".

In this way, the hunting cats and hunters started a long tailing procession in the streams and forests to target the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

Most of the day passed, and they followed Thunder Wolf Dragon for more than 30 kilometers, and they had already left the fifty-kilometer radius circle centered on Jieyun Village.

Is the territory ahead of the Thunder Wolf Dragon they are tracking? Is it a temporary base for the Thunder Wolf Dragon tribe's counterattack? Or is it simply the tribe's base camp?

No one can explain clearly, so we can only keep walking.

Pandan ran back again, this time she seemed particularly excited.

"There's a fight, meow! The Thunder Wolf Dragon and other monsters are fighting, meow!"

Julius, who was at the front of the team, was shocked when he heard this. One kilometer was not far away, and they didn't hear any roars of large monsters fighting.

"What monster did you fight with? Fire dragon?" Gordon also walked over.

There are not many monsters in this area that can compete head-on with the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

"Blue Bearmon Meow!"

Xianglan was gesticulating as she spoke, "Thunder Wolf Dragon rushed up and knocked down the green bear beast with a 'ouch', and then slapped the green bear beast with its claws, and beat the green bear beast to death in a few seconds, meow."

!”

The hunters were a little helpless. They thought it was a turf war. The situation described by Xianglan generally cannot be called a "fight", but a unilateral attack on the green bear beast.

However, Julius, who was skilled in reconnaissance, had rich knowledge of biology, and understood the habits of many monsters, saw something else.

He said to Xianglan: "Xianglan, go and call Zhupa back, and don't follow her any closer."

Gordon and the others were a little surprised, but no one raised any objections.

After Xianglan ran away to deliver the message, Julius simply explained, "Part of the reason is the aggression shown by the Thunder Wolf Dragon, and the other part is intuition. The location of the nest should be approaching soon."

Gordon understood.

In fact, the "intuition" mentioned by Julius is not something too mysterious.

Rather, when the relevant experience is rich enough, the brain subconsciously summarizes and makes judgments based on various types of information around it.

It seems that we are almost at the lair. With this guy's character, he wouldn't say that unless he was more than 80% sure.

Pork Chop Pandan returned to the team, and the hunters followed the footsteps left by Thunder Wolf Dragon for nearly an hour.

When they emerged from the densely forested area, a huge canyon appeared in front of them.

Julius, the leader, stopped.

Without his instructions, Nadia nimbly climbed up a rather tall tree, observed the surrounding terrain, and then returned to the team.

She briefly reported: "The canyon is very deep. After passing the pass, there should be a very large valley. The vegetation coverage inside and outside the valley is high. There is a high probability that Thunder Wolf Dragon will use the valley as its lair."

Julius pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Group into groups, Gordon Hayata, the two of you stay outside the canyon pass and hide yourself as a response.

Nadia and I will go into the valley to find out."

"Okay." Gordon nodded in agreement.

His specialty lies in frontal combat and tracking. As for covert reconnaissance, it cannot be said that he is not good at it, but his level is more than one level behind Julius and the others, and his speed of action can only hold him back.

Hayata's speed is fast enough, but the experience gap is too big, so it is natural that the two of them are left behind as support.

Julius and Nadia began to unload things.

Various supplies, including food, cave traps, and most of the magazines, have been left behind. They will enter the canyon as lightly as possible in order to maintain the highest flexibility and stealth.

"All the traps are left to you. After we enter the canyon, you will find a suitable location near the pass to set up the traps.

Don't worry, just lay it all out so that the Thunder Wolf Dragon can be delayed during the evacuation." Julius handed Gordon the mechanism of the trap.

"no problem."

Julius continued: "I brought two flares. If we see the green signal rising, it means we are in trouble, but we are still within the range of coping, so we should be ready to respond.

If it is red, it means that the number of Thunder Wolf Dragons in the valley is far greater than expected, so don't hesitate to evacuate quickly.

Bring the news back to Yuyun Village as quickly as possible, seal off the village and defend it to the death. At the same time, send a peregrine falcon to deliver an urgent message to Dongdoruma, so that the guild can immediately send elite support.

Let me emphasize again, if it is red, there is no point in you staying. Nadia and I are fast and have a higher chance of escaping."

Gordon was silent for a second and nodded: "I understand."
