Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 84 Serious Injury

The burns on my back were really serious.

Made entirely of metal ore, the highly thermally conductive refined ore suit not only fails to provide any defense when faced with high temperatures and flames, it may even increase fire damage.

Principle reference Teppanyaki

This is why Gordon has been injured by the aftermath of such attacks more than once, such as the high-temperature breath of the Peach-haired Beast King and the hot sand breath of the Big Monster Bird.

If you change to a set of armor with high "fire resistance", such as a red velociraptor suit made of red velociraptor skin that lives in high-temperature areas, as long as you don't get hit directly by the breath, some high-temperature aftermath and area damage can be almost completely ignored.

Instead of suffering heavy losses like now.

At first, Gordon thought that just like the time with the Peach-haired Beast King, he would be fine if he drank some recovery medicine, but he did not expect that the wounds caused by the hot sand breath of the big strange bird would be extremely troublesome.

Recovery medicine can indeed accelerate skin regeneration, but if the wound is not treated, the new tender skin will stick to the clothes on the back, and the wound will tear again with the slightest movement.

In order to avoid further aggravation of the injury and infection, he had no choice but to return to the camp with the pork chop.

In the camp, Gordon carefully removed his armor with the help of Pork Chop, revealing the burnt shirt on his back and the horrific red and black wounds.

"It's so serious, meow." Zhupa said worriedly, "Do you need to cancel the mission first, meow?"

"Hiss~, no need." Gordon gasped and lay down on the bed in the camp. He said: "The burn wound looks terrible, but it should not have damaged the muscles. Pork chop, use a knife to help me clean the wound.

Otherwise the wound will not grow well."

"Okay meow."

Having been Gordon's hunting cat partner for nearly two years, Pork Chop has now mastered the techniques of dressing various wounds, including burns like this.

But even so, it took Pork Chop more than an hour to use a sterilized knife to peel off the dead burned skin on Gordon's back bit by bit, as well as a large number of foreign objects adhering to the new tender skin.

These foreign objects were mainly shirt fibers and cooled sand. If these foreign objects were not cleaned up, it would be useless no matter how much recovery medicine Gordon drank.

After finally cleaning the wound, the sweat from Gordon's forehead had completely soaked the pillow. After taking a few deep breaths and drinking two more bottles of recovery medicine, he kept lying on his stomach and closed his eyes, forcing himself to enter.

sleep.

Adequate rest can maximize the effect of recovery medicine.

It has to be said that the invention of recovery medicine and various alchemical potions has greatly improved the survival rate of hunters. Otherwise, such a large area of ​​​​skin burns can easily cause infection and lead to more serious consequences.

Seeing that Gordon's breathing had stabilized and there was no large amount of fluid leaking out of the wound, Pork Chop breathed a sigh of relief and curled up on the soft cushion at the foot of the bed and lay down.

It's getting dark, so let's take a good rest today.

Gordon woke up from hunger.

From yesterday noon to now, he has taken nothing except a few bottles of recovery medicine.

Gordon, who was still lying on his stomach, did not get up in a hurry, but carefully tried to move his arms. There was no pain in his back, which made him relieved.

As soon as he exerted his arms, he climbed up from the bed. After doing a few more chest expansion exercises, he confirmed that the wound on his back had been completely healed.

This medical method that uses medicine to speed up wound recovery will inevitably leave scars.

Gordon knew without looking that there must be a large, ugly burn mark on his back, but so what?

Don't say that he didn't care about this at all. Even if he did, after receiving the fireball from the male fire dragon, his back was already a mess, and now it's just scars upon scars.

Without waking up Pork Chop, who was still snoring, Gordon walked quietly outside the tent.

The sky was still dark, but based on the position of the disappearing stars and the moon, Gordon knew that in no more than an hour, the sky would turn white.

Stretching his waist facing the sky, Gordon said cheerfully: "Let's make a hearty breakfast first."

More than half an hour later, Pig Chop, who had also woken up from hunger, walked out of the tent, rubbing his eyes.

"Morning, pork chop!"

"Good morning, meow~, is Gordon's wound okay, meow?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Gordon smiled and showed his back to Pork Chop, and suddenly noticed that he was not wearing a shirt.

"No wonder it's a bit cold." Gordon muttered, and walked to the tent to get his own change of shirts. At the same time, he didn't forget to say to the pig: "Breakfast is ready, eat more, but we still have to find the other end today.

Big Bird is back!"

"Okay, meow!" Pig Chop jumped towards the iron pot that was simmering on the campfire.

The so-called hearty breakfast is naturally not the kind you find in a tavern, with big fish, meat, cheese, fruits and vegetables, but a big pot of steaming gooey food.

Gordon didn't take the time to hunt for raw meat this time, so there was no need to think about the delicious barbecue. The food that tasted like bricks was the only "ingredient".

Crush a few pieces of portable food, put it into a pot and add water to boil.

The dry and hard wheat flour will expand after absorbing water, and the dry, hard and salty dried meat mixed with it will become slightly softer, eventually turning into a thick porridge-like dried meat paste.

It is of course impossible to say how delicious this big pot of hot wheat paste is, but it is better than stuffing dry and hard portable food directly into your mouth, at least it will not rattle your teeth and irritate your throat.

As the old people like to say - eating is like adding coal to the stove. When a person is full, he will be energetic.

Gordon and Pork Chop, who were burping from the big pot of wheat paste, felt a hundred times more energetic at this moment.

"Pork chop, let's discuss tactics!"

No matter how much information I gathered, I never went to a hunting ground and actually faced the big strange bird once, and then I finally understood.

In order to distract himself when cleaning the wound yesterday, Gordon thought a lot. Now it is time to formulate a tactical plan.

"Yesterday, I was fighting against the big strange bird head-on, and I found that the guy's head is not actually a weak point. The huge beak is very hard, and it is not easy for me to break through the defense with my giant scissors.

Moreover, the giant beak is also the most powerful weapon of the big monster bird. The power of its pecking and breathing is amazing. It is very risky to fight head-on. Therefore, in the subsequent battles, I will try to lock its wings or abdomen.

So Pig Chop, I need you to attract the attention of the big strange bird. You don’t need to actually fight with it. Just jump up and down in front of it to provoke it. Pay attention to protecting yourself. I will wait for an opportunity to launch an offensive from the side."

"Okay meow!"

"Furthermore, it's that guy's hearing problem. How many explosive barrels do you still have, Pig Chop?"

"I'll check and there are two more cats!"

"I also have three sonic bombs here, and I'll give them to you together. You'll have to judge the timing of using them. But be careful, the big strange bird will fold its ear fans when it's angry. At this time, the noise is ineffective. You must unfold the ear fans when it is angry.

Use it again.”

"I understand, meow!" Pig Chop took the sonic bomb and nodded seriously.

"Use sonic bombs first. The bomb barrels may explode the ear fans of the big strange bird. After the ear fans are destroyed, the noise effect will also be weakened. This is what Mr. Miles told me. There is no doubt about its reliability.

.”

"Prioritize the use of sonic bombs, meow. I'll remember that, meow."
