Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 83 Burning Breath

Even after he had just finished rolling and getting up, the scissor's scythe-like sword still struck the base of the big strange bird's left wing accurately.

It's a pity that the big strange bird seems to be slender, but the defensive power of its carapace cannot be underestimated.

With the strength of his sword and the destructive power of the giant scissors, if this sword was struck on the big wild boar king, it would be enough to leave a deep wound, but at this time, it only took away a small piece of the big strange bird's carapace, and with it

There was a small opening in the hard leather covering it.

This result disappointed Gordon very much.

Originally, he planned to rely on this attack to severely damage the left wing of the big strange bird, causing it to lose its ability to fly. But now it seems that it is just a scratch, let alone a serious injury.

"Googa!"

Just when Gordon was feeling regretful, the next attack from the big strange bird came.

Its slender but powerful neck was raised high again, as if it was accumulating strength, and the next second, the huge beak opened so wide that it could almost swallow Gordon whole and pecked it out.

Gordon quickly stopped his attack and took a few steps back when the giant beak that dropped like a giant hammer left a shallow crater where he originally stood.

Gordon swallowed secretly. If he had been hit by this blow, his head would have been shattered.

However, he also saw that although the big strange bird's peck was powerful, the forward movement was quite long. This was probably because its head and beak were too large and heavy.

As long as you are careful and don't be greedy, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

The big strange bird's pecks are continuous. If a hit misses, it will adjust its movements, step forward, and continue to attack.

Gordon didn't even dare to draw his sword now. Just dodging and rolling took a lot of effort from him, but he was not in a hurry because he knew very well that continuous attacks with this intensity could not last long.

Sure enough, after dodging four or five pecks in succession, the big strange bird seemed to be tired. Gordon seized this opportunity and stepped closer, waving his sword and preparing to give it a few hard blows.

But at this moment, a bomb barrel the size of a coconut flew from a distance and landed on the big strange bird.

This is Pork Chop's explosive attack.

Gordon, who was well aware of the explosion range of this small barrel bomb, immediately stopped and held his sword in front of him, entering a defensive posture.

"Boom!"

After a loud explosion, Gordon cut through the smoke with his blade and continued to move forward.

The pig scratched its ears in frustration. The timing of its use of the explosive bomb was not good this time - the power of the small barrel explosive was not enough to break through the thick back of the big strange bird's carapace, but instead interrupted Gordon's attack.

Rhythm.

However, Gordon did not reprimand the pork chop for this reason.

Tacit understanding needs to be cultivated. If you have to worry about it just because of a mistake, what should you do if Pig Pork, who is already easily unconfident, becomes timid? He doesn't want his partner to become submissive.

Wait, is there something wrong with the big strange bird?

Gordon rushed to the big strange bird and left a wound on its leg. Suddenly he noticed that the former's movements became a little stiff. Even if he was hurt, he did not fight back immediately. The huge ear fans like ruff collars were also put away.

This reminded him of the advice given to him by the seniors at the assembly hall before he set out - the big strange bird has keen hearing, especially when its ears are open, and it can easily be stunned by using sonic bombs.

Explosion!

Gordon suddenly realized that Pork Chop's explosive barrel did not cause actual damage to the big strange bird, but the blast of the close-range explosion obviously affected the latter.

Of course, this kind of explosive sound is not as good as a specially designed sonic bomb that can release high-frequency noise, but it is still a means of control.

"Pork Chop! When its ears open again, throw bomb barrels at its face! The noise is very effective!" Gordon, who took this opportunity to continue attacking the big strange bird's legs, yelled.

Pig Chop immediately understood his intention, "I understand, meow!"

The big strange bird, which had recovered from the impact of the explosion, became furious again. Its fast-beating heart made its movements faster, and its eyes became red due to congestion.

Upon seeing this, Gordon immediately retreated with his knife in his hand.

The next second, a wing claw that could break a tree trunk swung past him, which made him feel extremely lucky that he was not too cautious.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo[...(hhhh......

A large number of flames and sparks emerged from the gaps in the huge spoon-shaped beak of the big strange bird, and a pungent smell of sulfur spread around.

"It's breath!" Gordon felt as if his heartbeat skipped a beat.

Different from the "breath" that the Peach-haired Beast King exhales after eating special mushrooms, the big monster bird has a special organ similar to that of a fire dragon - a fire bag.

Although the evolution level of the throat and beak is much lower than that of the flying dragon species, it cannot withstand sufficient high temperature and pressure, making it difficult for it to spit out powerful high-temperature fireballs at extremely fast speeds like the fire dragon.

But they also have their own unique way of breathing.

The big strange bird that likes to dig for earthworms will store some sand in its body. When it needs to use its breath to fight the enemy, the high-temperature flames produced by the flame bag will heat the sand to nearly a thousand degrees in just a few seconds.

Then, they will use their huge spoon-shaped beaks to throw out the high-temperature sand mixed with flames.

In terms of absolute destructive power, such a breath is naturally far inferior to the explosive fireball of the fire dragon, but at close range, the high-temperature sand covering a huge area is equally dangerous.

Gordon tried his best to retreat, and flew as far away as possible while the big strange bird breathed out, but he still could not completely avoid the attack.

Flames mixed with hot sand hit him a few meters behind him. The hot sand flew in all directions, and a lot of it fell on him, flowing in along the gaps in the armor and burning the skin on his back.

Gordon groaned, but still endured the burning pain in his back and stood up quickly, otherwise the next attack of the big strange bird would be coming!

Sure enough, the big strange bird that finished breathing shook its head and rushed towards him. This attack mode of breathing and colliding made Gordon couldn't help but recall the male fire dragon he had encountered.

The two really have something in common, should they be called "Teacher Yangkuku"?

Gordon knew very well that in the face of this kind of self-sacrifice collision attack, the best way to deal with it is always to fly and roll at the moment when the monster is about to hit, so as to minimize the possibility of the monster changing the direction of collision.

So, he put aside the fear in his heart, stared at the big strange bird rushing towards him, and silently waited for the opportunity.

"Defense meow!" Pork Chop's slightly sharp cry sounded.

Although Gordon didn't understand its intention, he still chose to trust his partner. His body even reacted before his brain made a decision - blocking with the big sword in front of him in an anti-impact posture!

Just when the distance between the big strange bird and Gordon was only a few meters away, a small bomb barrel was thrown from the side and hit the former's head accurately.

"boom!"

The big strange bird, whose center of gravity was already somewhat unstable due to its wild running, fell to the ground. Because Gordon raised his sword in time to defend himself, the flying sawdust and flames did not affect him.

“Well done pork chop!”

Gordon cheered, and just as he was about to raise his sword and gather strength, the severe burning pain from his back made him lose all his strength.

The burns on my back may be more serious than I thought.

Looking at the big strange bird that was unable to get up for a while, Gordon gritted his teeth reluctantly, but out of rational considerations, he still yelled: "Retreat temporarily!"

Before even having time to throw out the dyed jade, the hunter and the cat got into the jungle and withdrew from the battlefield.
