Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 453 The volcano in the distance

Just when Gordon successfully hunted the red-coloured green bear beast and returned to the camp to rest for the night before preparing to return, Ancier and his party headed to the volcanic zone.

Still on the way to the lava cave hunting ground.

This is the difference between hunting at home and hunting at long distances. Even if there is an airship that ignores the terrain and is extremely fast, it still takes a lot of time on the road.

Since it is a self-owned airship, it carries neither cargo nor other passengers. The airship has sufficient load margin, and the two shooters can carry ammunition "as they please".

Take Ancil as an example. The amount of ammunition he carried on this trip was "enough to hunt four large monsters."

Four heads.

In addition to the targeted Explosive Hammer Dragon, as well as the possible appearance of the Armored Dragon and Concubine Spider mentioned in the intelligence, he was even prepared for other large monsters to invade and attack them together.

Boxes of various types of crossbow shells almost filled the airship cabin.

Hilda was quite speechless about Ancil's slightly neurotic and cautious mentality, but she was not in a position to criticize.

——If conditions permit, make as much preparation as possible before hunting.

"Master!"

Feng Ying had only just left Yanhuo Village, so it was strange to have been to this place.

Anhil patted the golden rail-mounted barrel of the King Tooth Cannon [Thunder Thunder] and sighed: "There is no way, there is no vanguard in the team this time. If necessary, I can only act as the vanguard."

Hilda nodded her chin and said happily: "This is very important. We are carrying a lot of ammunition this time. With these two places, we can save a lot of time when replenishing ammunition."

An Xil did not answer him directly, but looked at Feng Ying, "This volcanic area is not far from Yanhuo Village. Have you been there?"

You also installed a shield, are you preparing for close combat? I remember that you used to sneer at the customization method of adding a shield to the heavy crossbow?"

The sky ahead was dark and gloomy, not because of weather conditions such as storms, but because of volcanic ash.

This ability is really practical and convenient.

After quickly but methodically assembling the mithril rifle, Ancil also came to the front of the deck.

"Master, the map shows that there is a hunter camp on the southern outskirts of the volcanic zone. Should we land the airship there?" the pilot of the airship asked while holding the rudder.

"Um!"

"I've never been here before." Feng Ying's eyes wandered.

In such a dangerous mission where five-star and six-star monsters are likely to appear together, it would not be a big deal to completely ignore her existence and treat her as an Ellu collector.

Seeing Ancier repeatedly dismantling and inspecting the two heavy crossbows he brought, but still looking uneasy and cautious, Hilda finally couldn't help but complain, "Why did you bring two weapons?"

?”

It's a pity that neither Ancil nor Hilda looked at her.

Feng Ying also happily threw away the book and followed the former's footsteps. She was already tired of carrying it.

But after all, it is not "stable" enough to be included in tactical considerations.

As for the camp, I remember it was by a large lake at the southern foot of the volcano!"

Feng Ying nodded repeatedly, "Sister Huo Ya is also a bow hunter. When we were eating rabbit dumplings, I heard her complain that the hunter camp at the southern foot was too far away from the lava cave. It was tiring to run back and forth to replenish arrows.

Although Hilda, who was the leader of this mission, admired Feng Ying very much, she was only a three-star hunter after all.

"Woo——."

Even the clouds in the sky were dyed a dull gray-black color by the smoke.

"Temporary camp?" Hilda asked with raised eyebrows.

"Let's go up and have a look." Hilda stood up and walked towards the deck first.

Feng Ying held her head and continued to think hard. Suddenly, she recalled something again, "By the way! In addition to the main camp at the southern foot, there seem to be two temporary camps on the volcano!"

"Well, instructor Hilda."

Anhil was so focused that he didn't even notice that Hilda had been observing him for a long time. "During hunting, there is a risk that the weapon will be damaged, so I prepared a backup plan.

Of course, what Hilda valued was not Kohaku's combat prowess, but the Tooth Hound's ability to transport people quickly.

"Indeed, too."

It can be said to be the code for all shooters and even all hunters.

"Mythril rifles are very suitable for firing water-cooled bullets and ice-cooled bullets. I know that. I am also a nominal instructor in the training camp."

But at best she can only play the guerrilla position, not the main midfielder.

Anhil glanced at the map and said helplessly: "This point is marked on the map."

This is a very active volcano. Although there is no large-scale eruption at the moment, the ash smoke rising from the crater is still conspicuous.

"Haha——." An Xil sighed, but he wasn't surprised either.

Neither Hunter nor Ellu can do this.

"But I heard Brother Ni Tai talk about this!"

At the table next to her, Feng Ying, who was asked to endorse, raised her head and pointed at herself with a question mark on her face.

Even apart from his lack of experience, his strength has basically reached the standard of a four-star hunter. Under certain special circumstances, he can even display outstanding offensive capabilities among five-star hunters.

The main weapon is the Mithril Rifle and it fits the bill perfectly.”

Hilda said helplessly: "So this... Well, we really don't know this heavy crossbow, but judging from the structure, it should be a new model suitable for firing shotguns?

"It should be the kind of sub-camp that goes too far into the hunting grounds and the local guild cannot maintain it."

"It's okay if you don't have an avant-garde. To deal with large, slow-moving monsters like the Boomerosaurus, which weighs over a hundred tons, we can definitely fight on the move. Fighting with force is too passive."

At this time, an airship crew member came down from the deck into the cabin, "You can already see the smoke column, the volcano is not far away!"

Almost every senior hunter and instructor will remind the beginners like this. This is what is written in the hunter training camp textbooks. You can't pour cold water on Anhil just because he implements it too thoroughly, right?

During the battle, if someone has an accident, under the cover of other companions, the tooth hound can quickly evacuate with the injured and escape the pursuit of monsters.

As if she wanted to prove that she was reliable, Feng Ying tried to remember, "It seems that the so-called lava caves are inside the mountains of those volcanoes. Because there is magma everywhere, they are called 'lava caves'.

The harsh environment, coupled with the presence of various high-risk large monsters, obviously makes this a hunting ground not suitable for novices.

Uncle Dao Wen was there at that time, and he said that there are two temporary camps on the volcano. Although they are not as safe as the hunter camp at the southern foot, they can be used to store ammunition and props, and for temporary rest and so on, which is very convenient!"

It seems a little rude to Feng Ying to say this, but in Hilda's tactical plan, the position of the tooth hound Amber is even more important than hers.

Dual-wielding heavy crossbows? Is this behavior allowed?

"Where is the temporary camp? Mark it." Anxier handed the map and pen to Feng Ying.

Feng Ying looked at him innocently, "I don't know."

Hilda: "."

An Xil raised his hand to knock, but Feng Ying quickly held her head and shrank her neck and said: "Let me think about it again! Let me think about it again! Ugh.

Uncle Daowen didn't say the specific location at that time, no, it seems. He just said that the two temporary camps are on the ridge?"
