Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"This is, what is it?" Gordon didn't dare to use it directly because he was worried that it would be poisonous. He pulled out the stripping knife and fiddled with the silk threads that seemed to be drawn from pure gold.

Anshir also leaned over, "It's not metal, it's a bit translucent if you look closely, it might be something like worm silk or spider silk."

"worm silk."

Gordon and the others naturally recalled those golden beetles.

Is it left by those creatures?

Not surprisingly.

Gordon was about to chop off a section and collect it as a biological specimen, but he didn't expect that the silk thread about half a centimeter thick was not cut off, but bounced away with the knife.

Gordon looked at the knife in his hand in surprise, and couldn't help muttering.

"Weird."

There are quite a few monsters with the ability to spin silk. The concubine spider, the shadow spider, and the skeletal spider that Anshir had hunted before could all spit out silk threads with amazing toughness.

But that's just strong toughness, able to bear huge pulling force, but not resistant to cutting with sharp tools.

This is almost a common problem of all biological silk threads.

But this silk thread, why does it feel that its cutting resistance is stronger than steel?

Gordon held the knife with his backhand, pressed the blade against the worm silk, and pulled it hard, but the worm silk was still intact.

"Hey?"

Gordon twisted his neck, "I still don't believe it!"

He pressed the blade against the worm silk again, and sawed with all his might.

"Crack, creak, creak!"

Gordon froze, picked up the peeling knife and checked the blade of the eye.

It actually broke down.

"This? This is unreasonable, even if it is a steel cable made of steel wire, it won't be so hard?!"

Anshir next to him also frowned.

It goes without saying how powerful Gordon is, and the sharpness of the stripping knife is also famous.

The thin blade is not suitable for chopping, but in terms of cutting alone, it is stronger than most hunters' weapons. It can cut through the dragon's skin and pry off the dragon's scales.

Can't help these worms?

"Try another way."

As Anshir said, he took off the oil lamp from Gaefeng next to him, opened the lampshade, and roasted the worm silk with flames.

This method is very effective. After a few seconds, the worm thread is burned.

Gordon followed suit, and the two of them collected all the worm threads that were stuck to the stone pillars. They knew without thinking that this stuff was of great research value.

"Tell me, if the source of these silkworms is really those beetles, could they have dragged the mess around here?" Gordon guessed.

"It's possible, but the question is, isn't it a mechanical giant that destroys and swallows the city wall?" Anshir glanced at the location of the fragment of the city wall, "They won't snatch food from the giant beast's mouth, right?

Or are they some kind of symbiotic relationship? "

"It's not impossible, just like Thunder Wolf Dragon and Thunder Light Bug, right?"

"Meow?!" Pig Chop, who was on guard, suddenly raised his head.

The same is true for Lie Feng, who lowered his body, bared his fangs, and growled in a certain direction.

"Something is coming meow!" Pig Chop reminded in a low voice, "From the sound, it should be those golden beetle meows, there is more than one meow!"

"Get ready to fight." Gordon pulled out his big sword, "Concentrate on attacking one, and retreat after getting some body tissue.

Unable to determine their number, do not fight for a long time. "

"Um."

Anshir immediately filled the magazine with electric shock bullets in 【Shiyu】. Judging from experience, exoskeleton monsters such as crustaceans and beetles have relatively poor resistance to thunder attributes.

The first golden beetle appeared in sight.

Seeing that it had a clear goal and rushed straight towards him, Anshir understood that the battle was inevitable.

Preemptively, he immediately pulled the trigger continuously.

Ji Ke [Shi Yu] is indeed a very good heavy crossbow, the trajectory is stable and accurate, and there is almost no recoil.

The electric shock bullets hit the head and chest of the golden monster in succession. The blue arc flashed and jumped, and the golden monster let out a scream.

The attack effect is very good.

Gordon also fixed his eyes on the golden beetle. He dragged his big sword and rushed forward, slashing down with a single blow in front of him.

The hardness of the golden beetle's carapace exceeded his expectations, but the sharpness of the epitaph sword was not comparable to ordinary weapons. Under Gordon's full swing of the sword, it smoothly cut through the carapace that seemed to be covered with gold leaf.

"grumble!"

The golden beetle hissed in pain, swung down its sickle-shaped forelimbs, and Gordon blocked it with his vertical sword.

At the same time, two more golden beetles gathered around.

But Gordon wasn't worried.

Based on a series of comprehensive judgments such as carapace hardness, movement speed, and attack power, the strength of this golden beetle is roughly equivalent to a three-star dangerous monster.

Two or three of them will not make them feel troublesome.

"Pork Chop, Gale, stop those two, Anshir! Let's kill this one quickly!"

"Good meow!"

"clear!"

The fight on Gordon's side was over quickly.

Under the pressure of Anshir's stormy burst of fire, the golden beetle could only hiss and back away, while Gordon took the opportunity to charge up and attack with all his strength.

After just a minute or two, Gordon smashed the beetle's head open with a single strike.

The golden beetle staggered, and finally collapsed into a pool of fluorescent green blood.

But during this time, another golden beetle rushed over.

Gordon knew that if this continued, the beetles would only gather more and more, and by then there would be some trouble.

He swung his sword to shake off the dirty blood on the blade, put away his weapon, and roared back, "Cover me for half a minute, I'll collect some biological specimens, and then we will retreat!"

"As soon as possible!" Anshir put on a magazine and suppressed the one that just arrived with firepower.

Gordon didn't care too much, grabbed a severed limb, stuffed it into the pouch, took out a glass bottle, and collected half of the body fluid.

That's all.

"Prepare to retreat!"

Just as Gordon put away the bottle containing the body fluids and was about to retreat, an extremely sharp sense of threat struck from below.

Gordon didn't even think about it, his body reacted reflexively, swooping and rolling to the side with all his strength.

The moment he pounced away, a two or three meter long ornate scythe claw pierced through the ground from bottom to top.

If he hesitated for a moment in his actions, the best result would be that one of his legs would be removed.

"Gordon!"

"I'm fine!" Gordon quickly turned over and jumped up, flying back.

Two golden brown and emerald green sickle limbs broke through the ground one after another, followed by a huge crown with extremely gorgeous and gorgeous patterns, and a slender body that was as sharp as a blade.

An insect monster that was 60 to 70% similar to those golden beetles before appeared in front of the hunters.

"Gee -!"

It opened its sickle claws wide, and let out a piercing scream that almost surpassed the hearing range of humans.

The heart stopped beating, the blood coagulated, and a terrifying oppressive feeling that seemed to be able to directly crush the nerves swept over.

Cold sweat rolled down from the corner of his forehead. Gordon's eyes were fixed on the mysterious monster that almost killed him with one blow, and he didn't dare to look away.

Such a thought came to his mind.

——The strength of this monster is no less than that of the unicorn encountered on the snow mountain before.

The mysterious monster did not attack directly.

It is like a high queen, there is no character worthy of its heart.

The sharp knife-like feet move slowly, and the steps are light and elegant.

The sickle claws, which seemed to be made of gold and jewels, stretched out, grabbed the golden beetle corpse on the side, chopped it into pieces with ease, and stuffed it into the mouthpiece.

The queen is eating.
