Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Looking at the lava dragon coiled on the edge of the magma lake, half of its body exposed, as if taking a bath, Anshir made a calm gesture.

He took out a dye bomb and pressed it into the barrel of the crystal rifle.

The effect of this special ammunition is the same as that of the dye ball. It can help hunters track monsters through strong smell and paint traces.

"Snapped!"

After a soft sound, a large piece of brightly colored paint exploded on the lava dragon's back, and the lava dragon immediately raised its body vigilantly and looked around.

Anshir replaced the crystal rifle with a water-cooled magazine in an orderly manner, activated the sniper mode on the spot, and started attacking.

The water-cooled bomb made of running water grass as the main material exploded a cold spray on the lava dragon's neck, and then turned into a white steam that evaporated and dissipated due to the high temperature.

The lava near the impact point was instantly cooled, turning into pieces of black flakes that fell off.

The lava dragon trembled all over. Being used to the volcanic environment, it hated water and even lower temperatures. The attack just now made it very uncomfortable.

The effect of water-cooled bombs is outstanding!

Anshir continued to fire, and the water-cooled bullets hit various parts of the lava dragon's body precisely and rhythmically, giving it an extremely uncomfortable cold shower.

"Gawuwuwu!" The lava dragon let out an ugly roar.

It finally locked the position of the attacker, that is, Anshir's side.

Shaking off the evaporated water droplets, the lava dragon angrily jumped out of the magma lake, twisted its body against the ground, and swam over.

The extremely hot lava carapace melted the ground a little, and the molten rocky ground became a lubricant to assist its advancement. The speed of this guy sliding on the ground is actually not slow!

Gordon stepped forward immediately.

The reason why he didn't make a move before was because he was waiting for the lava dragon to come ashore!

Blocked by Gordon, the Lava Dragon, which was still swimming and gliding on the ground, jumped up immediately, and Gordon had a chance to see its whole picture clearly.

Its head and neck are streamlined, similar to fishes, as is its elongated tail, which facilitates its movement in the liquid.

The structure of the body is somewhat similar to that of a flying dragon, except that the parts that should have wide wings have been replaced by two short fins. Compared with the pair of legs with webbed claws, there is a sense of dysplasia and incongruity .

Slowly walking a few steps around Gordon who raised his big sword, the lava dragon raised its neck and let out a demonstrative roar.

Gordon, who was baptized by the roaring sound at close range, couldn't help covering his ears. Anshir, who was sniping with a heavy ballista in the distance, didn't have this kind of trouble. The water-cooled bullets hit the lava dragon one after another.

The water-cooled bomb evaporated by the hot lava armor turned into steam and spread out, hitting Gordon's face, stuffy and hot.

He felt as if he had come to the red-hot stones in the dry steam room and poured a large ladle of water, his whole body was almost half-cooked.

But Gordon didn't complain, it was better half-steamed than burnt.

He even felt very fortunate that he changed into the monster bird suit before coming to the volcano. If he was still equipped with the original refined ore suit with negative fire resistance, maybe everyone would be gone?

Putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Gordon quickly approached the lava dragon, and slashed out the big sword in his hand. He believed that with the opponent's three-star dangerous "quality", he would not be disabled simply by two swords seriously injured.

The Lava Dragon's movements on the ground were not agile, and most of its attention was attracted by Anshir, who was shooting continuously, and the claw blade of the Explosive Knife Kai landed on its thigh smoothly.

Without a knife, it is not too difficult to represent the lava dragon's defense. However, the sense of sluggishness coming back from the handle is the first time he has seen since using the big sword.

Looking up, Gordon finally understood the source of this sense of stagnation.

Just like the mucus on a fish, the thick layer of lava armor wrapped around the lava dragon is its best defense.

Under the continuous attack of water-cooled bombs, the semi-solidified lava armor has a viscosity similar to maltose. The claw blade of the explosive knife is quickly stuck after being embedded, making it difficult to go further, and really hurt its body.

However, Gordon's heavy blow and slash still made the lava dragon feel a little pain. It turned its head, and stared at him viciously with its small pearly white eyes.

Not only did Gordon not feel panicked, he was even a little happy.

He wasn't the main attacker in this battle. As long as he could firmly grasp the Lava Dragon's attention and create a comfortable enough output environment for Anshir, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with this guy.

Thinking of this, Gordon pulled back the Explosive Knife Kai, ready to try cutting his leg with the next knife.

However, the lava dragon was not a target either. Facing Gordon's continuous attacks, it launched a counterattack.

The extremely flexible body was slightly bent, and his muscles were tense like the pressure rod of a catapult. Gordon, who had swung his blade halfway across, immediately forcibly interrupted his attack at the risk of spraining his waist, and rolled backwards hastily.

"boom!"

According to the position where Gordon was standing just now, the lava dragon used a powerful blow against the iron mountain. Even though Gordon rolled over in time, the former did not hit anything, but there was still a dull bang.

Gordon got up from his body with lingering fears, and he could make such a sound in the air. This time he was about to be hit hard, and he might be seriously injured in an instant.

Putting away the subtle arrogance in his heart from successfully hunting four-star monsters, Gordon's eyes became cautious again.

"Gordon! Don't attack the cooling part of the lava armor! The meat will harden!" Anshir's reminder came at the right time.

After being baptized by water-cooled bombs for a period of time, the lava armor on many parts of the lava dragon's body was almost extinguished, turning into dark red and dark gray colors.

The magma that cooled to a solid state lost its glue-like viscosity and high temperature, but became harder. Gordon decided to follow Anshir's suggestion and try bypassing these parts.

He stepped closer, and tentatively slashed towards the lava dragon's chest with a light upward slash, the area still emitting high temperature and red light.

The Explosive Knife Changed its sharp and heavy sword head to easily cut into the molten lava armor, and a large piece of golden-red magma was lifted out by him, revealing the dark gray rough skin underneath.

"Aha!"

Gordon laughed boldly, turned the blade of the sword onto his shoulder, and began to accumulate strength.

Seeing that the lava dragon moved its body and was about to leave the attack range of the explosive knife, it released the charged slash that had only been accumulated to one stage without hesitation.

Due to the lava dragon's movements, this attack was not very accurate and not deep, but it still managed to tear a large piece of skin on the lava dragon's chest that was not protected by the lava armor.

As an existence at the top of the food chain in the nearby area, the Lava Dragon, who hadn't felt such pain for a long time, staggered two steps and let out an angry roar.

However, at this moment, an icy bomb exuding frost-white air was precisely shot into its mouth, stopping its roar.

Anshir took his eyes away from the scope and snorted coldly:

"shut up."
