Monster Hunter:Hunter's Notes

Chapter 88 I caught the big strange bird!

Gordon didn't catch up immediately.

It can be seen from the left wing of the big strange bird drooping on its side that this guy will not be able to fly again in a short time. In this case, there is no need to worry about losing the trace of the prey. After all, it was just marked with a dye ball before the battle started.

After this period of fierce fighting, the sharpness of the giant scissors has also dropped significantly. If not for this, the powerful and charged slash just now might have been able to directly cut off the left wing of the big strange bird.

Watching the big strange bird stagger away, Gordon smiled, took out a whetstone and sharpened his knife.

Another reason why he didn't pursue it directly was because he wanted to capture the big strange bird, and it would take time to set up a trap for capture. He couldn't set the trap in front of the big strange bird, right?

According to the habits of most monsters, it is the most normal choice to return to the nest to sleep and recover after being seriously injured, and the big strange bird must be no exception.

It just so happened that he also knew where the big strange bird's nest was.

After restoring the sharpness of his giant shears, drinking some water, and eating a piece of food to pad his stomach, Gordon felt ready to set off again to end this hunt.

But at this moment, Pig Chop cried out, "Tail! Tail, meow! The big strange bird's tail hasn't been peeled off yet, meow!"

"Ah, I almost forgot."

Gordon, who looked majestic and high-spirited, shrank his neck and walked back with a sneer.

The tail of the big strange bird that landed on the gravel beach in the river valley was about two meters long. From it, Gordon peeled off some of the scales and carapace of the big strange bird.

After shaking the orange-red materials in his hands, Gordon said in amazement: "It's lighter than metal, but it feels much stronger."

Pig Chop also came over, stretched out his claws and scratched the surface of the scales, making a sharp crunching sound, "It's true, meow, it feels like it should be a good material for making equipment, meow!"

Gordon pinched his chin when he heard this.

"We've been using this refined ore suit for so long, maybe it's time for a new set of armor."

In order to avoid complications, Gordon and Pig Chop stayed hundreds of meters behind the big strange bird, lest the big strange bird would become wary and unwilling to return to its nest.

After more than an hour of stopping and walking along the way, the big strange bird finally returned to the huge bird's nest in the clearing in the forest.

It did not fall asleep immediately. Instead, it stretched its neck, unfolded its ear fans, and watched and listened to its surroundings vigilantly. After several minutes, it made sure that the area was safe before slowly lying down and falling asleep.

After some time, until the big strange bird made a dull snoring sound, two figures, one large and one small, emerged from the shade of the trees.

"Pork Chop, please be careful around and don't let some small monsters come and cause trouble." Gordon took out a special mechanism slightly larger than a plate from the bag behind his waist, and walked towards the big strange bird sleeping in the nest.

He whispered to the pork chop.

"Okay meow!"

This mechanism is called the "paralysis trap", and together with the "hole trap" are the two most commonly used and reliable trap mechanisms, and are widely praised by hunters.

The structure and principle of this trap mechanism are actually very simple.

When making paralysis traps, a strange insect called "Thunder Bug" is used. When this insect dies or is severely stimulated, it will instantly release a powerful electric current, which is powerful enough to paralyze large monsters.

The paralysis trap takes advantage of this characteristic of lightning bugs.

After the trap is set, once a monster steps on it, it will immediately enter a paralyzed state, which often lasts from a few seconds to ten seconds.

During this period, hunters will use a smoke bomb called a "capture tranquilizer ball" to throw monsters. If the monster is weak enough, it will be completely anesthetized and captured by the hunter.

Regarding paralysis traps and capture tranquilizer bombs, Gordon, who has undergone complete hunter training, will naturally use them and has practiced them repeatedly.

This is the first time that they can actually be used to capture large monsters in actual combat.

He couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

He walked gently to the big strange bird, carefully fixed the paralysis trap on the ground, then pulled out the safety bolt and activated it.

On the shell of the paralysis trap, tiny crackling currents appeared.

"Next is the paralysis ball," Gordon whispered to himself.

Covering his nose with one hand, he took out a few paralysis balls from his bag with the other hand and hit the big strange bird in the face.

The paralysis ball mixed with "sleeping grass" and "paralysis mushroom" exploded into a cloud of pink smoke, which was inhaled by the big strange bird as it breathed.

Then Gordon was stunned.

Huh? When the big strange bird is asleep, does using the paralysis ball count as anesthetizing it? But it didn't step on the paralysis trap, and the thing was still crackling there.

Gordon, who lacked actual capture experience, was full of questions.

After hesitating for several seconds, Gordon decided to give the big strange bird a sleep cut first to wake it up.

The target was chosen on the relatively fragile chest and abdomen of the big strange bird. I hope this is the last blow of this hunt.

One paragraph, two paragraphs, three paragraphs!

He charged up and slashed straight down, leaving a huge wound on the big strange bird's chest.

The big strange bird that suffered a heavy blow in its sleep screamed, flapped its wings, struggled to jump up, but stepped on the paralysis trap again.

The golden electric current instantly enveloped the big strange bird, and its screams stopped abruptly as soon as they started.

The big strange bird fell to the ground again, and even its breathing and heartbeat became weak.

Gordon bit his fingers in confusion.

"This should be regarded as a successful capture, right?"

On the way back to Minagard City, Gordon and Pork Chop were very beautiful.

There was no other reason. Behind them was a giant truck pulled by two strong herbivorous dragons, and what was carried on the truck was the big strange bird they had successfully captured.

At this time, the big strange bird was under deep anesthesia, and it was theoretically impossible to wake up. However, just to be on the safe side, Gordon tied it into a ball with a lot of strong chains and ropes.

In this way, even if this guy wakes up in the middle, there is no need to worry, there are many ways to make him faint again.

When the truck passed through the villages along the way, most passers-by and villagers expressed a genuine fear of monsters, even monsters that could not move.

Although they couldn't help but watch curiously, they all stayed away and looked at Gordon with eyes full of awe. Only some teenagers who didn't know what fear was came over and surrounded Gordon and asked questions.

Non-stop.

In their eyes, the big strange bird is a flying dragon!

The red carapace and scales, the broad wings, and the huge body that is more than ten meters long, what else can it be if it is not a flying dragon?

Huge monster, everyone's awe-inspiring gaze, chasing and fighting children

Everything that seemed so familiar made Gordon couldn't help but recall the scene when he was very young, when his parents were still alive, and he took him to watch the "giant flying dragon" captured by hunters passing by Kokot Village.

Looking back now, it seems to be a big strange bird.

Gordon chuckled and scratched his neck.

It turns out that I have become the kind of monster hunter I admired when I was a child?

Ps. This is our personal experience again. The first game I played was mh2, and the first monster I captured with a trap was a big strange bird.

I didn't really understand it at the time. I saw the big strange bird was weak and fell asleep when it returned to its nest, so I threw a few tranquilizer balls. After waiting for a while and seeing that the task was not over, I remembered that I didn't put a trap. As a result, the trap was placed further away and I didn't directly

The monster was shocked and stunned. Finally, he thought of slashing the monster so that it would wake up and step on the trap.
