Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 380 Difficult Escape

The blinding effect of the flash bomb will not last long, and hunters must take this opportunity to distance themselves.

There was no need for anyone to utter a warning, everyone was running towards the direction of the lush forest.

With the pace and speed of humans, they cannot outrun most large monsters in open areas, let alone extremely fast tooth dragons like the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

Entering a dense forest with complex terrain and numerous obstacles is their best escape route.

It was still Julius who was running at the front of the team to open the way. It was not that we had to pay attention to the formation at this time. It was simply that the two knives were very convenient for clearing the vine branches along the way.

In addition, this man is extremely experienced in escaping.

Who asked the guild to let him scout out some weird things from time to time?

Gordon was very lucky that they brought a lot of forced medicine G. This expensive medicine would not bring much benefit to a swordsman like him in terms of combat.

But the effect of greatly improving endurance is very useful when running away at full speed.

Nadia, who was running in front of him, was running at full speed while raising her light crossbow toward the big trees deep in the forest and the mountain wall in the distance, firing some dye bombs, stink bombs, and even armor-piercing grenades.

The dye bombs and stink bombs have a strong smell, and the armor-piercing grenades will make a loud roar, which can distract the attention of the pursuing Thunder Wolf Dragon.

Gordon also gradually understood the significance of Nadia's various preparations before setting off.

The seemingly intrusive silencer can hide its position to the greatest extent. The dye bomb is not only used to mark monsters, and the stink bomb is not only used to drive away monsters. The smell of gunpowder after the explosion of armor-piercing grenades and the smell of sulfur on their bodies.

Some images can confuse the monster's judgment.

There is an increase in knowledge that seems to be useful but not very useful.

The roar of the Thunder Wolf Dragon, the sound of heavy footsteps shaking the earth, and the noise of trees being smashed were constantly heard from behind.

They still couldn't completely escape the pursuit.

Julius, who was leading the way, did not appear panicked. Until now, he had not hesitated at all in choosing the route.

As for the plan for the retreat route, he had already made it before when he was tracking the Thunder Wolf Dragon.

"There's less than one kilometer left! Speed ​​up!" Julius shouted, making the entire team's speed increase.

This rapid sprint will undoubtedly consume a lot of physical energy, but Gordon and the others already understand Julius's plan.

As the hunters ran at full speed, the sound of "splashing" water came from the front.

The hunters and Ellu who rushed out of the woods ran towards the abundant river formed by countless streams.

Julius casually cut a handful of reed poles by the river, threw them to his companions, and said, "Go under the water!"

Then he waded into the depths of the river first.

The heavily armed hunters naturally didn't have to worry about not being able to dive down, and the group disappeared on the river under the night in a blink of an eye.

Tens of seconds later, the golden giant beast tore apart the trees in front of it and came to the riverside.

The target's scent disappeared here.

It lingered for a while to no avail, then let out a roar from its neck.

"Hooooo——!"

The hunters who escaped the pursuit of the Thunder Wolf Dragons did not dare to leave the river too far for fear of being attacked by the Thunder Wolf Dragons who were good at hunting again.

They followed the river all the way down, and they didn't really relax until they reached a large lake in the afternoon of the next day.

By this time everyone was exhausted.

After finding a relatively safe place to camp, lighting a bonfire, drying their clothes, and eating some food to fill their hungry stomachs, they took turns to rest and regain their strength.

The ladies went to bed first, and each of them hugged an Elu, like a pillow.

Gordon and Julius stayed by the campfire, and while keeping vigil, they discussed the previous events.

"I've been running around before and didn't have the energy to ask. Please tell me, senior brother, the information you detected."

Gordon put his feet close to the bonfire. During the day and night, in order to avoid leaving the smell of footprints, even if they did not wade in the water, they often walked along the ankle-deep river, and their feet were numb from the cold.

"In addition to the leader, there are three Thunder Wolf Dragons here. Your judgment on this is correct."

Julius wiped his swords carefully while saying: "The key is that leader. When I first saw it, I thought it was some kind of subspecies, but after observation, I felt that it was not."

"Not a subspecies?"

Gordon was startled when he heard this, "I thought there would be multiple 'black wolf dragons' or 'golden wolf dragons' in ecological books in the future."

Julius glanced at him and said: "Sure enough, you also made this kind of visual misjudgment. In fact, the scale skin of the leader is the same as that of the ordinary Thunder Wolf Dragon, it is blue, at most it looks slightly darker.

It’s just that under the night sky and the golden lightning, it will give people an illusion that is close to black.”

"Ah, that's it."

"Let me briefly summarize the key points I discovered. First, it is larger, faster, and its forelimbs are stronger than the ordinary Thunder Wolf. Its physical fitness should be overall better than that of the ordinary Thunder Wolf.

Furthermore, there is that kind of golden lightning. When it appears, it is always in a supercharged state. It may be that it accumulates electricity very quickly, or it may be that supercharging is normal for it."

Gordon frowned, "Normal? That's really troublesome. When we hunted the Thunder Wolf Dragon before, our first goal was to break its super-charged state through repeated attacks. Normal."

"Another important point is, have you noticed the injuries on its body?"

"certainly."

Gordon nodded and said, "If I hadn't noticed an obvious injury on its left arm, I wouldn't have chosen to risk turning around and slashing at it.

Let alone the leader, the carapace of an ordinary Thunder Wolf Dragon cannot be cut open with one or two swords."

"It's not just the left arm, it's covered in injuries all over, but the left arm is the most conspicuous."

Julius added: "Being able to injure a monster of this level like that, with wounds that look like being cut by a reamer, considering the reason why the Thunder Wolf Dragon tribe left Spirit Peak."

"Lanlong, right?" Gordon answered.

It's not surprising that Julius knows this series of things related to Lan Long, rather, it's strange that he doesn't know.

The reason why the master sent Julius to Jieyun Village is probably to a certain extent because he was worried that Gordon would rush to Lingfeng in a hurry, just to fulfill the promise of "I will challenge you" made a few years ago.

.

Of course, Gordon thinks that his brain is not that hot yet.

"Um."

Julius paused, "Those scars are very, very deep, and they have undoubtedly caused irreversible damage to the body of the leader Thunder Wolf Dragon.

Just like the scar on the left shoulder, although it has healed long ago, the missing muscles and carapace will never grow back."

"You mean, the thunder wolf dragon that leads the group is a 'disabled person'?" Gordon asked half-jokingly.

"It may not be considered a disability, but it shouldn't be a problem if it is weakened by the severe trauma Zeng Jin suffered."

"Tsk, even if it is weakened, can it still suppress the entire thunder wolf dragon group? I really don't know how strong it is originally."

Julius was silent for a while after hearing this, "Gordon, have you heard of 'Two Names'?"

(There is another chapter tonight)

In the previous chapter, I saw a lot of readers discussing the issue of whether the two names are one or the other.

In fact, there has always been a debate among people discussing the setting, because the "two monsters" feel like they are divided into two categories in the game.

Special experiences lead to the alienation of special appearances and abilities - Black Flame King, Purple Poison Lady, etc.

On this basis, it refers specifically to a certain person, such as the Heavenly Eye, the Fierce Demon, and the Golden Thunder God (the physical characteristics are too obvious, such as the Heavenly Eye, so one cannot blind all the Heavenly Eyes...)

Again, there are many controversial or vague aspects about the setting itself, so everyone just needs to have a basic idea~

After all, in a more "realistic" world, many things cannot be perfectly defined with just one word.
