Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

walk out the door.

Gordon was stunned for a moment by the moon hanging high in the sky.

late at night? I thought it was afternoon, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anyway.

Gordon moved his joints a little, gripped the hilt of the big sword with both hands, and swung it in the open space in front of the house.

——For him, this is the best way to relax the mind.

It may be because of watching it too many times these days, Gordon couldn't completely empty his mind, and his mind was full of words such as "courage to avoid" and "special sword posture".

Under the tense spirit, the night blown by the mountains and haze on the plateau turned into fantasy monsters, roaring silently and rushing towards him.

Gordon subconsciously assumes a courageous posture, which is the special saber posture described by Berner. He slides to avoid the attack, and then holds the sword to accumulate strength.

One paragraph, two paragraphs, three paragraphs.

The accumulation of strength reached its peak, and Gordon swung the big sword in his hand with a low drink.

The great sword [Wang Hu] tore through the air and fell to the ground with a bang. The sharp claws plowed a deep mark on the ground.

"Mea—!"

The cloud sheep and deer in the sheep pen next door were startled by his actions, and backed away with a bleat.

Gordon woke up instantly.

He rubbed the corners of his eyes and muttered to himself, "Don't drive yourself crazy if you continue like this, but the process of accumulating energy is indeed a little faster."

As a high-ranking swordsman, the feeling of charging and slashing has already penetrated into the soul. He is very sure that the time for the sword that smashed the illusion just now is slightly shorter than the normal situation.

This trace is indeed meaningless in actual combat, but is it possible to expand the range of acceleration?

try it!

He began to repeat the process of courage posture, courage to evade, and charge to slash.

But no matter how he tried, not to mention increasing the acceleration, even the slightest sense of acceleration never appeared again.

Gordon was frustrated when new ideas hit a wall at the very beginning.

Reason told him that this path was wrong, but he didn't want to let go of any possibility.

Why is there no sense of acceleration?

Is there something wrong with my actions? No, there should be no difference in movement, and it is possible to make one mistake, and it is too strange to make mistakes again and again.

Where is the problem?

Gordon sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and meditated, tapping his forehead repeatedly.

Have no idea

"And the idea of ​​warming up the muscles with inertia and sliding steps is a bit outrageous in itself," Gordon complained somewhat self-destructively.

".Uh-huh??!"

Gordon jumped up suddenly.

He realized that he had been led into a ditch by Senior Berner's thoughts. There was no evidence at all to show that the speed of charging power was accelerated because of some "muscle warm-up"?

Why?

The Tyrannosaurus rex was successful that time, the Zhanlong was successful that time, and the time when the hallucinations just occurred was also successful, but it has never been successful since then.

Where are the commonalities and where are the differences?

Because of the external force exerted by the monster attack? No, where did the external force come from that hallucination?

Monsters in reality, monsters in fantasy, whatever they have in common, are all monsters.

nonsense

Wait, it may not be nonsense.

I fell into a misunderstanding again, the monster is not necessarily the key point, it may be something brought by the monster, or something added.

Pressure? fear?

fear!

Gordon's eyes lit up suddenly.

It's fear! Whether it is a monster in reality or a monster in fantasy, it will arouse fear in the bottom of my heart!

The Big Wild Boar King in the beginner period, encountered the king of the sky, faced the Lanlong on the airship, faced the desert knight Yijialong, and launched a charge against the Tyrannosaurus that was far superior to him.

When did you dare to say it without fear at all?

But so what?

Isn't it the embodiment of courage to face fear and raise arms?

The so-called courage posture, the focus is not on the action, but on the courage to stare at the monster and deal with it calmly. The factor that really accelerates the speed of power accumulation is courage!

This is the "core" that I and Senior Berner have not been able to find!

"It really fits the name 'courageous style', ha!" Gordon couldn't help laughing at his own words.

Although this statement has a romantic delusion, although all of this has not been confirmed, let alone the specific application method.

But he has an intuition, and this is the answer he's been looking for.

Use "courage", use "courage" to strengthen yourself, and incorporate "courage" into your moves, does it sound strange?

It is indeed strange.

But if the word "courage" is replaced with "momentum", and the big sword is replaced with a sword, wouldn't everything make sense?

Taisaoshi can continuously attack, condense the Qi blade, refine the momentum, and then use it.

Then why can't my great swordsman refine his courage in some way?

To put it bluntly, isn’t it all a concrete manifestation of spirit and willpower? !

"Ha!" Gordon laughed, rushed back into the house, and picked up the pork chop from the bed.

The pig chop woke up from the dream and screamed in panic, "Meow meow?!"

Gordon shook it vigorously, "Great! I gradually understand everything! Let's go hunting now, as long as we find a way to gather courage, everything will be done!"

"Meow!"

After waking up, the pig chop kept waving its claws, patting Gordon's slightly crazy face, "What are you talking about, meow! Do you know what time it is now, meow?!"

"What time? What time?"

"You're already stupid meow! Go to sleep! Let's talk about what's going on at dawn, meow!"

After all, the excitement is still not worth the mental fatigue.

Gordon, who was scratched by the pork chop, finally went to sleep obediently.

This sleep lasted until noon the next day.

There has been some progress in the development of the courage style, and Gordon wanted to tell the good news to Eliard, who was most concerned about this matter, as soon as possible.

But under the reminder of the pork chop, Gordon changed his mind and decided to hide it for the time being.

After all, there is no evidence to prove that this idea and this direction must be correct. Instead of giving the other party expectations and letting them shatter, it is better to wait for certain results before telling the other party.

"So how are you going to try meowing?" Hearing Gordon share the pork chop that was the result of last night, I feel that the term "courage" has some truth.

Just like what Gordon said, doesn't Taidao still have "momentum"?

"Go hunting, use more courageous postures when facing monsters, and at the same time consciously experience and guide that emotion, maybe you will find something." Gordon said while nibbling on a rusk with a slice of cheese.

"It's dangerous meow, Mr. Berner may have had similar thoughts back then meow, look in the diary, how many times has he been sent flying by the dragon car?" Piggy said worriedly.

"Then look for monsters with low danger levels. I'll buy the most common sword and the most basic armor. Well, the Bernard suit that Yuna used is pretty good.

In this way, there should be some 'sense of fear' when facing three or four star monsters. "

"Why change low-level armor meow?" Piggy retorted.

"I think that you can wear the tyrannosaurus armor and get an ordinary sword, just like how you practiced in Jieyun Village to master the real usage of the tyrannosaurus armor."

Gordon shook his head, "No, with the defensive ability and strength of the Tyrannosaurus armor, I can beat the kappa frog to death with my bare hands, so what kind of fear is there?

And I'm worried that that violent emotion will interfere with me, I need to be more calm and focused to experience 'courage'. "

"Think about Mr. Bernard's diary meow, it will be miserable meow."

Gordon laughed suddenly, and he rubbed the pork chop's head vigorously, "Then I'm different from him, don't I still have you?"
