Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 542 Busy Minagard

When there was silence between Gordon and Master, Pig Chop suddenly jumped out, "Teacher Meow, is it possible to use Explosive Meow more?"

The master patted Pig Pork's little head and said, "I thought so too. Ordinary explosive bombs are almost useless against Laoshan Dragon, but high-density dragon-killing carbon is different. Your previous formula for blasting the Forbidden Skull is very good.

In the previous meeting, I had already made a request to the guild to provide them with as much dragon-killing carbon material as possible.

Although without the cooperation of the 'Dragon Slayer Cannon', it cannot maximize the power of the Dragon Slayer Carbon, but it is flexible enough.

Pork Chop, your ability to adjust explosive bombs on the spot may become the core of the entire battle, hehehe."

Gordon felt that what they said made sense, and he even began to doubt whether the existence of nearly ten high-level hunters, including himself, was necessary.

The master saw through Gordon's thoughts, and he asked with a half-smile: "Did you suddenly feel that it is easy to defeat the Lao Shanlong? As long as you arrange enough explosives along the way, you can successfully defeat it?"

"Well"

Gordon was speechless for a moment. He really thought so. Are there any other difficulties?

The master continued: "You have participated in a gluttonous feast, so it can be easily explained. When the Fengshan Dragon appears, the large group of sand fish following it is very troublesome, right?

A similar situation exists in Laoshanlong, and it is even more difficult."

"You mean, Lao Shanlong also has a 'helper'?"

"Ahem. I don't really count as a helper, but it's pretty much the same."

After talking too much, the master who was a little tired was helped by Gordon to sit down and continued: "Due to the huge size of Laoshan Dragon, the power of the ancient dragon will seriously stimulate various creatures, including large monsters, near the area.

This makes it always accompanied by endless chaos and death wherever it passes.

Therefore, opportunistic scavengers such as snake dragons and velociraptors like to follow it in groups to clear the way for it.

It can be regarded as some kind of temporary symbiotic relationship."

"It's like a school of sand fish following Fengshan Dragon, filter-feeding on the organic matter dug out by the latter from the depths of the sand sea." Gordon murmured to himself.

Pig Chop also murmured to the side, "In this case, there is no way to plant explosives in advance, meow, it's easy to be accidentally triggered, meow."

"Laoshanlong is not a naturally violent monster, it can even be called gentle. There has never been a record of Laoshanlong actively attacking humans in the data.

Even if it breaks into the city, Laoshanlong will only advance in a straight line and trample the houses along the way. As long as the residents avoid it in advance, they will not be harmed.

But why do there appear to be such terrible casualties every time Laoshanlong breaks through the city?

The reason lies in these ‘followers’.

Can you imagine what terrible things will happen when hundreds of hungry snake dragons and velociraptors rush into human settlements?"

The hair on Pork Chop's tail stood up, and Gordon frowned.

Small monsters such as snake dragons and velociraptors are indeed not a threat to hunters. If they fight alone, trainee hunters can easily handle them.

But for ordinary people, these monsters are too dangerous.

It doesn't have to be hundreds, even just ten velociraptors, if they get into the complicated streets of the city, they can easily cause a large number of casualties and trigger riots throughout the city.

Not to mention the snake dragon that is good at flying and can easily fly over the city wall.

The master's words also solved a doubt in Gordon's heart - no wonder the stronghold was built several days away from the city. It turned out to be to obtain a buffer zone.

"So Master, should I change my Epitaph costume? Or should I go with the more powerful [King Tiger]?" Gordon hesitated.

Originally, he thought that he would just deal with Lao Shanlong, so Epitaph was undoubtedly the best choice.

But now it seems that dealing with those small monsters seems to be more important?

"Of course it's an epitaph. It's not your turn to worry about those miscellaneous fish, ahem."

The master couldn't help but chuckle, "Haha, don't put all the pressure on your shoulders. It's true that you are a high-ranking hunter, but do you know how many hunters will participate in this battle?"

"How much?" Gordon asked subconsciously.

"I don't know either." Master Jiang said with a smile.

"I only know that in order to defend their homeland, all the hunters in Minagard City will participate in the war, not to mention the elites dispatched by the guild from other strongholds.

As for how many hunters there are in the Minagard Hunter Assembly, you should know better than me."

Gordon couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he also smiled, "That's quite a lot, eighty? Or a hundred?"

After getting the information he wanted to know from the master, Gordon didn't stay in East Doruma for too long.

I went back and picked up the Epitaph Sword. Just a few days after I got it, I didn’t want to put down the Hungry Sword [King Tiger] before I saw the blood.

When Pork Chop looked at him as a fool, he shouldered two big swords and boarded the airship heading for Minagard.

The two-day flight flew by in the blink of an eye.

When the airship they were on arrived in the sky over Minagard, Gordon and Pork Chop were startled by the group of airships that were constantly taking off and landing, of various sizes and sizes.

Even in Lockark, which is world-famous for its air transportation industry, they have never seen such a dense group of airships.

On the roads outside the city, there are also long queues of transport convoys.

These airships and convoys come from all over the continent, transporting various ammunition supplies, equipment, building materials, craftsmen teams, and hunters who come to join the battle to Minagard regardless of cost.

How can humans with weak physiques be able to surpass countless monster species and carve out a place in this cruel world?

Wisdom, courage, and most importantly, unity, these are the fundamentals.

The old mountain dragon is nothing to be afraid of.

When he just stepped off the airship, Gordon was not wearing a helmet.

But the image of him being two meters tall, fully armed, carrying two big swords on his back, and making a "dong" sound with every step he took on the ground was really too eye-catching.

Being watched for a long time under countless gazes, and occasionally meeting acquaintances, even a person as thick-skinned as him would inevitably feel embarrassed.

Suddenly, I felt a little bit about Hayata's mentality when she was carrying four tachi and blushing when being watched.

So he put on the helmet, and his whole aura suddenly changed. Ordinary monsters would tremble when they saw him, and then passers-by didn't dare to look at him anymore.

Even the pork chop stayed away from him, which was deeply embarrassing.

Gordon, who seemed to be avoiding everyone and ghosts, just pushed through the crowd, walked through the busy commercial street with familiar routes, and arrived at the block where the hunter gathering place was located.

Looking up at the tall building, Gordon couldn't help but sigh, "We're back again."

"It's meow."

"Tikki must be craving pork chop."

"Go away meow!"

Gordon, who made fun of the pork chop, chuckled.

Just as he was about to take a step forward, he was struck by the man in front of the assembly building who was equipped with the [Hyuuga] suit, carrying four swords: the Demonic Sword, the Flying Dragon Sword [Sakura], the Nanban Sword [Samedan], and the Night Sword [Moon Shadow].

The back figure with his head lowered and lost in thought attracted attention.

"Well"

"Meow--."

"That should be Hayata, right?"

"Without a doubt Meow."

"What do you think she's thinking about?"

"I'm hesitating whether to go to the assembly hall or go home and put down the knives first, meow."
