Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Rushing in front of the Explosive Scale Dragon, almost less than five meters away, Gale raised his hand and fired.

This is the distance at which shotguns are most powerful.

Before countless small shrapnel could fly away, they all landed in a small circle of no more than three or four square meters, which happened to cover the head of the Explosive Scale Dragon.

Sparks flew everywhere, and the shrapnel that hit the scales was bounced away, while the shrapnel that landed in the gaps between the scales was submerged in it, spattering blood.

Facts have proved that the crossbow shells carefully made by the hunters are much more powerful than the crude artillery shells of the Strange Face Tribe. With this shot, the head of the Explosive Scale Dragon was slightly tilted.

It also attracted its attention back.

"Roar!" it roared angrily, opened its mouth and lunged forward to bite.

Perhaps because of the dense density of explosive glands in the chest and neck area, which makes it appear particularly fat, the movements of the Explosive Scale Dragon appear to be relatively slow.

After firing the first shot, Gale was not greedy and immediately retreated, easily avoiding the blow.

First, he fell into the siege of the Qimian Clan and was interrupted from eating. He finally broke through the siege and was about to pursue it when he was stopped by the hunter again.

The Explosive Scale Dragon's anger grew even higher. It took a deep breath and roared at Gale in front of him with a roar that was slightly similar to an elephant's roar, but much thicker.

Although this roar was harsh, it was far from the level of Honglong that could deafen a person if he didn't cover his ears.

"Yell you*!"

Gale raised his muzzle slightly and fired two more cannons back in succession.

The completely furious Explosive Scale Dragon's body shone with a scorching red light like semi-molten metal.

The oval-shaped explosive scales hanging under him also emitted orange-red light, as if they would explode in the next second.

Gale ran as fast as he could, his vigilance raised to the highest level.

The investigation team has "dealt" with the Explosive Scale Dragon many times and has quite detailed information about this monster.

This state where the whole body is emitting high-heat red light is called "red heat transformation", and the explosive scales in this state have been fully activated.

Just like a bomb with the safety pin removed, it will cause a violent explosion at the slightest touch.

The Explosive Scale Dragon in this state is the most difficult to deal with.

Indeed, its claws that are not sharp enough and its slightly bloated body make it not a strong threat in close combat. Experienced hunters can easily avoid its bite, pounce and other attacks.

However, in the red heat state, the situation is completely different.

Those activated explosive scales will fall to the ground at any time, causing violent explosions, and its attacks such as pressing will also cause large-scale explosions.

At this time, it was like a walking powder magazine. As long as you were around it, you would be under the threat of exploding scales almost all the time.

"Keep your distance!" Anhir shouted as a reminder.

He was afraid that this guy would get angry and rush under the skin of the Explosive Scale Dragon Eye. With the defensive performance of her unicorn suit, if the elf protection failed to be triggered, the aftermath of any explosion could seriously injure her.

Fortunately, although Gale is often as reckless as a strange-faced tribe, a reckless shooter will never be promoted to Seven Stars alive.

Of course she knew the danger of those scales exploding under the red heat, so she immediately closed the distance to about twenty meters.

At this distance, the power of shotguns was obviously attenuated, and the spread of shrapnel would also be greatly spread, but she still kept firing while moving flexibly.

After all, she is currently playing a "guest role" in the vanguard, shouldering the responsibility of containing monsters. She must maintain her attractiveness as much as possible while ensuring her own safety.

But this attraction dissipates very quickly. After all, compared to shotguns whose power is attenuated due to distance, the precise sniper fire from the heavy crossbowmen is a greater threat.

The Explosive Scale Dragon roared and turned to look at Ancier. Gale was about to rush closer and forcefully attract the former's attention.

Sandstone jumped out and blew the horn whistle used to attract the monster's attention.

Gale's expression changed. The sandstone that made good use of the protective shield could resist the attacks of many large monsters, but facing the Explosive Scale Dragon that constantly caused violent explosions, there was no good way.

Is that guy on top too?

Gale quickly changed the magazine and approached in a roundabout way, ready to support Sandstone at any time, but found that Sandstone did not lose his calm as she feared.

It didn't even take off the protective shield from behind. Instead, it put down a provocative puppet, turned around and ran away.

The leather dummy, which was as tall as a person, quickly inflated and swayed, as if it was dancing a strange dance.

The Explosive Scale Dragon's attention immediately shifted to the dummy. It roared and raised its body, and the Explosive Scales hanging under its neck became increasingly red.

Using its wing claws to support its body, and after a few quick steps forward, the Explosive Scale Dragon pounced down on the provocative dummy.

The provocative dummy, which was essentially a large scare box, was naturally unable to move and was pinned down by the Explosive Scale Dragon.

Violent explosions continued to occur beneath it, and even the surrounding ground shook violently.

When the Explosive Scale Dragon stood up again with support from its wing claws, the provocative dummy had turned into charred and broken pieces on the ground.

"My dummy, meow!" Shayan howled.

This thing is not easy to make. In order to cut off the back, I threw a corpse suit dragon into my hands. Not long after I made it, it was completely scrapped after the first use.

"I'll help you later!"

Gale turned his head sideways and shouted: "Supernova!"

They are all experienced shooters, and their judgments on the battle situation are actually similar.

Before Gale could remind him, Ancier had already loaded the supernova into the crossbow chamber. When the Explosive Scale Dragon raised its body, revealing a large area of ​​undetonated Explosive Scales under its body, he pulled the trigger.

The thick crossbow bullet turned into a line of fire, and in a blink of an eye it came to the raised chest and neck of the Explosive Scale Dragon.

The next second, a huge golden-red fireball enveloped the body of the Explosive Scale Dragon. The blast wind knocked it backwards, and a tragic roar echoed in the cave.

However, the effects of this supernova went far beyond that.

The impact and high temperature of the explosion stimulated those explosive scales that were already in a highly activated state.

Almost at the same time, those exploding scales were detonated together, blowing the exploding scale dragon to the ground.

The Exploding Scale Dragon, which was suddenly hit hard, kept struggling, and the red light on its body gradually dissipated, and it was actually directly blown out of the red-hot state.

Perhaps this can be regarded as "exploding the chamber", or perhaps it is more appropriate to say "destroying one's body"?

"Nima's is so exciting!" Gale cheered, "I wonder if that supernova of yours can be modified so that we can use a light crossbow and enjoy the heavy firepower?!"

The corners of An Xil's mouth raised, "You have a beautiful idea!"

"Tsk, cheapskate!"

The Explosive Scale Dragon's body was bloated and its chest was exploded. It was difficult to get up for a while. This was the best opportunity to attack!

Gale and Ancier, who had somehow developed a tacit understanding, loaded their crossbows with armor-piercing grenades and diffusion bombs respectively.

"Fire!"

Gale, who was reloading faster, continuously pulled the trigger, and the armor-piercing grenades nailed the Explosive Scale Dragon's forehead one after another.

Pork Chop, who was trying to get close to attack, screamed and retreated, unable to stay in this place.

Amidst the unique whistling sound of the projectile crossbow, the astonishingly powerful lv3 diffusion bomb fell from the sky. The scattered fragments of the projectile turned into countless red lotuses, once again covering the Explosive Scale Dragon.

Although this type of explosive attack will not be very effective against the Explosive Scale Dragon, that is only relatively speaking. The most important thing is that this guy is lying down, so how about a few rounds of armor-piercing grenades and diffusion bombs?

"Attack both wings!" Master Yuanye's reminder came from afar.

Anhil and Gale, who instantly figured out the truth, immediately changed the direction of the muzzle, and moved the crosshair from the head to the wings.

The torso covered with explosive glands is certainly resistant to such attacks, but the wings may not be.

There will be no exploding scales on the dragon wings!

(That’s all for today, go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination orz)
