Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 477 Backup plans require a lot

"This is the so-called 'backup plan'. As for how to specifically deal with Lan Long, it cannot be planned. We can only say that everyone adapts to circumstances and acts according to the situation.

In other words, do you have any other suggestions? It doesn't matter even if it's not very reliable, maybe it will be an opportunity to save a life." Hilda looked at the young hunters and asked.

Anhil immediately stretched out his finger and drew a few small circles on several locations on the map, "These locations have complex terrain, and stone cliffs and pillars can be seen everywhere. Compared with flat areas, they are more suitable for us and Lan

Dragons circle around.

I think we can plan a few routes so that when we lure and delay Lanlong, we won’t run around like headless flies.”

“A very good idea.”

Hilda nodded with a smile and added: "In a while, we will divide the road leading to the ruins into several sections, and each section will have a rough plan to lure the enemy.

Wherever you encounter the mist dragon, take the corresponding route, at least be aware of it."

"There are two other places we might go to."

Gordon also spoke, and he moved closer to the map, "To the east of the main peak, there is a large rock mountain with a cave inside, which may be used as a temporary respite and hiding place.

"And this place."

Diving into the water to escape may not be useful. At best, it can only be used as a "gamble" solution in desperate situations.

Hilda stared at the map, "It's a little close to the ruins, but it's always good to have multiple backup shelters."

An Xil said with some uncertainty: "You mean, instead of fixing the Lanlong in a certain position, you would hang the wreckage of the airship on the Lanlong?"

"Yes, although there is only one pair."

Those gorgeous and complex spiny fins play a balancing role.

Hayata lowered her head slowly.

"It's the cave where the professor and Alva hid that time, right? It's a good place." Anhil nodded his chin in agreement.

Hilda clapped her hands with satisfaction, "If there is a chance, we can indeed lead Lan Long there.

"The structure of the heavy-duty bed crossbow is not too sophisticated. If it is not severely damaged, it should be usable. This is correct.

The well-rested and energetic hunters gradually walked out of the cave where they camped. They were wearing camouflage cloaks specially made by the professor, so their appearance was somewhat strange.

If you can hang a heavy object like the wreckage of an airship on its main fins, not to mention directly forcing it to fall, at least it will make its flight less smooth."

After Hilda responded casually, she asked Gordon: "Did Alva tell you what kind of crossbow bombs are on the airship? Well, those are the two kinds of crossbow bombs that are suitable for the heavy bed crossbow. Are there restraint bombs?"

The sun has already set below the horizon, and the remaining sunset glow on the horizon is being swallowed up by the night.

Everyone hopes that this disguise can hide them from Lan Long's eyes and ears, so that the risk of this mission can be reduced to an even lower level.

Before Alva left Jieyun Village, he told me that there were some weapons on the airship that might be of some use."

Should it be a heavy bed crossbow?

"There is a heavy bed crossbow at the end of the deck. According to Alva, although half of the airship was broken into pieces, the heavy bed crossbow is still intact and should be able to be used."

But the crossbow whirring on the half-broken airship may have some unexpected effects."

The discussion continued, and finally even Hayata, who was feeling a little depressed, joined in.

It was a square hard leather backpack. During the few days when I was waiting for the order to arrive, I specially asked the owner of the Jieyun Village processing shop to customize it.

But do we really need to rush there for a heavy bed crossbow?

"Good meow."

Of course she knew that it was impossible for a reconnaissance airship to carry fort-level defensive facilities such as dragon-breaking cannons and dragon-striking guns.

Pork Chop ran up behind Hayata, who also squatted down to make it easier for him to inspect.

But the rope was twisted with steel wire, and the knife he carried couldn't cut it, so it had to be left there."

This is a trick that hunters often use when they encounter a crisis.

"Armed? What armed?" Hilda's eyes lit up.

Of course, it is wishful thinking to rely on a heavy bed crossbow and a pair of restraining bullets to restrain Lan Long. If the bed crossbow is fixed on the ground, with Lan Long's strength, he will probably break free soon.

"That's right, Lanlong's flight does not rely on its wings, but is like a fish in the water, riding on the wind. This flying method is more flexible, but it is also more difficult to maintain its posture.

After all, according to the historical documents and legends of the Western Continent, Lanlong seems to have the habit of summoning storms, churning up the sea, and dragging schools of fish into the air to catch prey.

Soaked in kerosene, purified gunpowder rock powder, two kinds of monster bone marrow, dragon-killing fruit, and long leads are placed in special compartments, and the gaps are filled with a large amount of buffering materials.

"If it's just used to fire ordinary crossbow shells, it's really unnecessary."

But for some reason, everyone has an unknown premonition in their hearts - if nothing else happens, something will happen this time.

"Pork Chop, help Hayata check her backpack again. Be careful and make sure the straps and buckles are securely fastened." Hilda reminded her.

Gordon said with certainty: "Alva mentioned this specifically. He said that when he returned to the wreckage of the airship to search for supplies, he wanted to cut off the rope of the restraining bomb and take it away.

Whether it’s Instructor Hilda’s Horned King Bow or the King Tooth Cannon I brought this time, when using high-power ammunition, the attack effect will not be inferior to that of the bed crossbow, right?”

But Hilda doesn't really recommend this method.

You two too, use your brains and think quickly!"

Gordon's words confirmed Hilda's guess, while Ancil on the side was a little hesitant.

After removing the compartments and fillers, this hard backpack can serve as the shell of dragon-killing carbon, just like the wooden barrel of a large barrel of explosive bombs, maximizing the power of the explosion.

She put forward another idea - due to the existence of Lanlong, the Lingfeng Mountains have abundant precipitation and numerous rivers, lakes and other water bodies. In critical moments, it may be possible to dive into the water to escape.

Hilda patted her back hard and said, "There is still time. If you have time to feel lost, why not think hard for me!"

Gordon then pointed to a location not far from the main peak and south of the main peak, "This is the crash site of the professor's reconnaissance airship.

That rocky mountain is very strong, and Lanlong's storm is probably ineffective. You may be able to break the mountain with your breath, but it will also take a lot of effort."

Minimize the risk of a collision as much as possible.

This might be a good plan.

There are also kerosene lanterns for lighting, flares, ropes, iron picks for excavation, etc. hung on the backpack. If he hadn't been carrying a tachi, he would have looked like a standard explorer.

The person carrying these "miscellaneous items" was Gordon before, but now Hayata's backpack was on Hayata's body. This explorer-like outfit inexplicably made him laugh.

He couldn't help but let out a "poof", and Hayata gave him an annoyed look.

"Okay, little guys, stop raising eyebrows and stay alert at all times. Let's set off."
