Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 378 The thunder that exploded in the deep valley

After the two Thunder Wolf Dragons were really gone, Nadia and Julius came out of their hiding place.

Without much communication, Nadia took Julius directly to the next sniping location.

The two of them kept changing positions and repeating this process, luring the Thunder Wolf Dragon to appear.

Small monsters are not that easy to find. Nearly two hours later, Nadia only found two more dog dragons, two spiritual deer and a mushroom pig.

The luring effect of the dog dragon is very good. Perhaps because the dog dragon itself is a carnivorous monster, the howling sound can always attract the thunder wolf dragon. Coupled with the smell of the dye bomb, the dog dragon has nowhere to escape.

The effect of the Spirit Deer and the Mushroom Pig was very average. The movement caused by shooting the three herbivores only attracted the Thunder Wolf Dragon once in total.

Of course, it might also be because the Thunder Wolf Dragon was alert.

Julius signaled to Nadia to pause the action.

In the next half day, they circled around the edge of the rift valley more than once. While observing from a distance, they used different methods in different areas to attract the attention of the Thunder Wolf Dragon and lure it to appear.

This includes using dye bombs to mark small monsters, shooting stink bombs into distant trees, sniping spiritual deer from a distance, spreading the bloody smell, etc.

By comparing the differences in appearance, it can be roughly confirmed that the number of Thunder Wolf Dragons living in the valley is three.

Of course, this conclusion is not rigorous. After all, the possibility of other Thunder Wolfsaurs wandering around cannot be ruled out.

But at least what is certain is that there is no "big group" that they are most worried about.

This result made Julius and the others feel a little relieved.

It seems that more Thunder Wolf Dragons should still be scattered in various territories in the northern part of the Western Continent, and have not really gathered together.

This is undoubtedly good news.

Those who destroyed the village were probably just the kinsmen summoned temporarily by the "king" who had not yet appeared, or it might be the "guards" similar to the Kamaita Dragon King who always surrounded him.

Three five-star dangerous monsters, plus a king of unknown strength, are consistent with Gordon's previous judgment.

For any hunter, this is a mind-numbing force.

But in front of their three teams and even more hunters in Jieyun Village, although they still have a headache, at least they are not to the point of despair.

It seems that the red flare can be saved.

Looking up at the darkening sky, Julius decided to try again. If he still couldn't force the king out, he would have to retreat first.

Staying in the monster's lair at night to scout is a dangerous act.

People's visual sensitivity will drop sharply in dark environments, while the opposite is true for most monsters.

He passed his idea to Nadia, who thought about it and decided to do something big.

The two first quietly came to a relatively open area, which was the stage prepared by Nadia for the king.

In fact, it is mainly for convenience of observation.

Then, Nadia took out all the armor-piercing grenades she carried, inserted them one by one on the ground, and manually released the safety.

After thinking about it, she took out all the few fire bombs she had and piled them together as additional ingredients.

Julius watched all this with a blank expression.

He had long known that his partner was a hidden explosion maniac. For this reason, she especially liked Pork Chop and would talk to Pork Chop a lot about explosives every time.

Before leaving, Nadia threw a few more flash bombs into the pile of ammunition, and then left with satisfaction.

The two sneaked back to a position near the exit of the canyon.

No matter whether the sound and light effects caused by Nadia's random addition of ingredients can attract the king of the thunder wolf dragon tribe to appear, they will all evacuate after this.

They each found a hiding place to hide. Nadia set up the ballista, pointed at the pile of ammunition two to three hundred meters away, and pulled the trigger.

The crossbow shot hit accurately.

"boom!"

The armor-piercing grenade that was hit exploded.

Since they were not special explosives, these ammunition did not explode simultaneously at the first time, but scattered everywhere.

Some detonated in the air, some exploded after falling on the ground, and some were direct duds.

This resulted in an unexpected deafening blast, but the crackling continued for a long time. Some dud bombs were caught by plants ignited by the flame bombs, and it took a long time before they exploded.

The effect of the flash bomb is unexpectedly good, and the strong light caused by the explosion can be clearly seen even on the other side of the rift valley.

The originally peaceful rift valley suddenly became agitated.

This was the first time that the sound of gunpowder explosions resounded throughout this land. Countless birds soared into the sky, and small beasts hidden in the forest also ran around crazily.

Deep in the rift valley, bursts of long-lasting roars could be heard.

"Ouch——!"

The Thunder Wolf Dragons were completely angered.

Although the previous dye bombs and stink bombs were annoying, they only stayed at the level of smell. They thought a red-armored beast or something had wandered into the canyon.

The stimulation caused by the sound of explosions, fire and bright light is not on the same level at all.

Three thunder wolf dragons roared out. They easily jumped up the steep cliff with a slope of more than 60 degrees, and ran to the open area where explosions still sounded from time to time to investigate.

But they are not what hunters are looking for.

Nadia and Julius still stayed in their respective hiding places, did not get up, and waited quietly.

Finally, a dazzling golden thunder exploded in the deepest part of the rift valley.

The figure, which was larger and stronger than the ordinary Thunder Wolf Dragon, jumped across the deep valley like lightning, almost in the blink of an eye, it came from the bottom of the valley to the open area at the edge of the rift valley.

The hunters' pupils shrank suddenly.

Here we go, this is the "Golden King".

The arrival of the leader of the Thunder Wolf Dragon caused the other three Thunder Wolf Dragons to lower their heads and step aside.

This difference in status is even more obvious than that of monster groups such as velociraptors, dog dragons, and giant wild boars.

Compared to the restless Thunder Wolf Dragons, the leader, wrapped in golden lightning, looked particularly calm. He did not roar in anger, nor did he appear panicked.

I just walked slowly through the shallow craters left by the explosions of armor-piercing grenades, lowered my head and sniffed twice, then raised my head, as if deep in thought.

Julius and Nadia in the distance were seizing every second to observe the leader, the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

Using the surrounding trees as a reference, it can be roughly judged that the length of the head and tail of this leader Thunder Wolf Dragon is about 20 meters, and the overall body size gives the impression that it is nearly twice as large as the ordinary Thunder Wolf Dragon.

As night falls gradually, the light becomes darker.

Julius and the others were not quite sure whether the hair of this thunder wolf dragon was golden itself, or whether it was turned golden by that special golden current.

Of course, this is not the point.

Julius's eyes focused on the horrific scars all over the leader's body, especially the left shoulder, where a large piece of muscle was missing.

This even caused its steps to be a little unsteady.

And the exciting golden thunder light also made him very concerned.

He clearly remembered that Gordon and the others said that Thunder Wolf Dragon had to be "charged" to enter this special state called "supercharged".

This has also been confirmed by several other Thunder Wolf Dragons.

However, this golden guy has always looked like this with lightning shining from the moment he appeared.

Did it complete charging in advance? Or does it not need to be charged at all?

Just as Julius fell into a brief moment of contemplation, the leader Thunder Wolf suddenly turned his attention to the bushes and rocks where the hunters were hiding.

The dangerous gaze that looked like an entity made the hearts of the hunters stop for a beat.

Fortunately, the strong nerves that had been "exercised" by cologne made them wake up immediately.

Julius directly fired the green type bullet he held in his palm, jumped up and yelled at Nadia.

"run!"

Ps.

Many book friends have mentioned the issue of Jin Lei Gong. Here is an explanation.

First of all, this one is not the Golden Thunder Lord. The Golden Thunder Lord should specifically refer to the "two names" with particularly long horns. Now this one can be understood as the other "Overlord Thunder Wolf Dragon".

After all, the name "Golden Thunder Lord" in
