Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Gordon took a deep breath, feeling a dull dull pain in his chest and abdomen, which was a sign of visceral shock.

Taking advantage of Anshir's attention being attracted by the general sickle crab, he quickly took out a bottle of recovery medicine and drank it down, coughing up a small piece of blood, and his hot chest and back immediately felt a lot better.

He wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to the pig chop who hurriedly came to him: "Pig chop, play the horn flute, draw the monster's attention, Anshir won't last long!"

As Gordon said, in less than half a minute, Anshir has entered a state of being overwhelmed.

The place where the general's sickle crab landed was not a few meters away from him, and the two were almost fighting close to each other, which was very unfavorable for the slow-moving heavy crossbowman.

What's more, this guy doesn't even have the shotguns necessary for close combat as a crossbowman, and the magazines for penetrating bullets are about to run out.

After receiving Gordon's instruction, Pig Chop didn't hesitate, and immediately blew the horn flute to attract the monster's attention.

Amidst the echoing "beep, beep" of the horn flute, the general sickle crab stopped attacking the heavy crossbow envoy, and angrily turned to Gordon and Pig Chop.

Gordon, who drank the healing potion, managed to slow down, and took the initiative to attack with a big sword in his hand.

It was at this time that he had the opportunity to take a good look at this terrifying crustacean that almost chopped him into pieces as soon as he came out.

The general sickle crab is similar in size to the daimyo shield crab, but its body structure is more compact. Unlike the latter, which is like a big crab with claws and claws, the general sickle crab is more like a combination of a mantis and a lobster.

The streamlined carapace is mainly blue, and the edges of the carapace are covered with jagged thorns, which are as sharp as knives. If the hunter does not wear the armor, even if it is only scratched lightly, a large piece of flesh will be torn off.

The most conspicuous thing is naturally the pair of sickle-like forelimbs, slender and swift, waving like the wind, and even giving people a sharp beauty like "sword dance" when waving their claws.

It is distinguished from its close relative, the daimyo shield crab, which is only good at moving laterally and has a clumsy gait.

The general sickle crab moves very quickly.

When it rushed straight at Gordon, the terrifying sense of oppression was hardly inferior to that of the flying dragon's dragon car.

Gordon estimated the distance accurately, stopped immediately and began to accumulate energy, intending to stop the general's sickle crab's offensive in a head-to-head manner, just like when dealing with the big monster bird.

However, the general sickle crab's reaction once again exceeded his expectations.

Just when the charged slash was released and was about to hit the sharp horned head of the general sickle crab, the latter's pace suddenly changed.

I saw it switching from a straight charge to a lateral movement without warning, turning into a blue shadow, and while easily avoiding the powerful charge-up slash, it circled around Gordon's side.

The long knife-like claws protruded out "swiftly", slashing across Gordon's waist.

"What speed is this?!"

Gordon exclaimed, and before he had time to adjust his posture, he hurriedly lowered himself and rolled to avoid it.

The sound of the claws whizzing past made the scalp tingle.

If this sweeping attack is hit, even if it is protected by the monster bird suit, it will not be cut in half, and it will definitely be severely injured.

And such a sharp attack is just the beginning.

Facing the claws that the general scythe crab swung out one after another, Gordon kept parrying, rolling, and dodging, but he could barely parry and circle, with little chance of fighting back.

The pork chop tried to attack from the side and rear to attract the general's sickle crab's attention, but the ore cat pick was unable to break through the defense of the general's sickle crab's carapace at all, and its attack was completely ignored.

This made Piggy very annoyed, why didn't he bring two bomb barrels with him, that would at least have some effect.

Fortunately, using this time, Anshir has adjusted the shooting position, and the very accurate support shooting has begun.

One after another, the penetrating bullets swept across the space, nailing into the weak spots of the general scythe crab's carapace from various tricky angles, splashing out dirty green blood flowers.

The sudden sharp pain forced the general scythe to let out a sharp hiss, temporarily stopping the continuous attack on Gordon.

"Nice job! Master!" Gordon laughed loudly, and was ready to regroup and launch a counterattack.

"Beautiful ghost!"

Anshir in the distance changed from his usual elegant and calm appearance, he roared anxiously: "There is only this one penetrating magazine, and the remaining lv1 normal bullets can't break through its defense at all!

There is only one magazine with three paralyzing bombs, it is almost impossible to be effective, ready to retreat! "

Gordon was startled when he heard the words, but then realized that this was the only choice.

General Sickle's strength somewhat exceeded his expectations, and his movements were too fast. Without Anshir's shooting support, it was almost impossible for him to win in a single fight.

What's more, after forcibly blocking the general's scythe crab's surprise attack before, the giant scissors felt a bit wrong.

Looking at the two huge cracks on the sword, Gordon estimated that the great sword may have suffered irreversible structural damage.

I don't know how long it can last.

After a few more roars from the ballista, the fire on Anshir's side went silent—the penetrating ammunition had been exhausted.

Seeing that the general Sickle Crab's attention was attracted by the heavy crossbow, Gordon roared, "Retreat first! I'll entangle it, and it's useless if you stay without ammunition!"

The proud Anshir was unwilling to abandon his companion, but he also knew that what the other party said was true.

If he insisted on staying after running out of ammunition, he would only add to the chaos.

"The physical strength of the general scythe crab is not very good. If you find a chance to escape in a straight line! It can charge a few tens of meters at most. After running this distance, it can't catch up with you!" Anshir said loudly while putting away the heavy crossbow: "I Meet you at the other end of the corridor!"

"receive!"

Seeing that Anshir started to retreat, Gordon slashed with a vertical blow, trying to draw back the general's gaze.

However, the giant scissors, whose sharpness was greatly reduced, were bounced back by the dragon skull on the back of the general sickle crab, which was not painful at all.

"Damn it!"

Gordon yelled and cursed, watching the general's sickle crab bend its legs, then jumped up high like a grasshopper, and hung on the rock wall in the cave.

Milky white foam rolled in the monster skull on its back.

"Anshir be careful! It's breathing!" Gordon shouted to remind him.

After a short charge, a stream of high-pressure water mixed with foam shot out from the skull on the back of the general sickle crab like a sharp sword.

The power of the water flow was terrifying, and the rocky ground was also broken layer by layer under its bombardment, with stone flakes splashing everywhere.

With the slight rotation of the body of the general sickle crab, the torrent sweeps in a fan direction, and Anshir, who is about to enter the entrance of the tunnel, has nowhere to hide.

It's impossible for Anshir in the shooter outfit to take this blow!

Realizing this, Gordon gritted his teeth and rushed forward again, defending with his sword upright, blocking the water jet boundary between the general sickle crab and Anshir.

The high-pressure water flow swept away like a solid blade.

Anshir heard Gordon's reminder, and what he saw when he turned his head was the scene of Gordon being blown away by the high-pressure water flow.

The giant scissors that had already been severely damaged were completely broken under this blow, and the aftermath of the breath fell directly on his body, and at the same time as he was blasted to the rock wall near the tunnel again, the breath of the general sickle crab finally ended.

When Gordon fell to the ground, he was unresponsive, and he didn't know whether he fell into a coma or something more terrifying.

"Meow!!" Pig Chop screamed.

"Gordon!" Anshir also roared and unfolded the heavy crossbow, and heavily loaded the last special clip containing the paralyzing bomb on the armed belt.

Gordon tried his best to save him twice. If he wants to abandon his companions and escape alone, it would be better to just let him jump into the lava lake.

The sniper mode is launched, the front sight is precisely locked on the face of the general sickle crab, and the trigger is squeezed hard!

The general sickle crab who had just finished exhaling was a little tired and did not move immediately. The three paralyzing bombs hit the target accurately.

"Squeak!!!" The sharp insect-like hiss suddenly sounded.

Under Anshir's slightly astonished gaze, the paralyzed General Sickle Crab fell off the rock wall and fell heavily to the ground.
