Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Taidao once again clashed with the wing blade, and after deflecting and unloading the attack of Yue Xunlong, Hayata had some confidence in his mind.

As a rare species of Xunlong, the advantage of Yuexunlong is mainly reflected in its invisibility ability, as well as its fur and carapace, which is far tougher than the original species.

With the sharpness of her night knife [Yueying] white chopping taste, she couldn't break through the defense of Yue Xunlong's forelimb smoothly, and the blade was bounced away.

In comparison, Yue Xunlong's strength can only be said to be quite satisfactory, perhaps stronger than the original Xunlong, but it is also limited.

This is great news.

Taidao is a purely offensive weapon. It does not have a shield like a lance or a long spear, nor can it block defense like a big sword.

Facing the monster's attack, there are only two options to choose from, dodge and parry.

If the opponent's prey is too strong, it will not be so easy to deflect the attack with the light and slender blade of the Taidao. If you can only dodge, you will have far fewer tactical options.

But now, maybe you can choose to fight head-to-head, which can create a better attack window for the two shooters.

After swiping his blade and slashing two swords quickly, leaving two different and non-itchy wounds on Yue Xunlong's head, Hayata slowed down his attack and was not greedy for swords.

Seeing that the muscles of Yue Xunlong's forelimbs were tense, she immediately stepped forward, and retreated three or four meters in a flash as if springs were added to her feet.

After Yi Jianqie avoided Yue Xunlong's slap, she did not pause at all, and fought back with her blade.

Tai Dao and Yue Xunlong's sharp claws clashed together.

Lifting up is not an action suitable for using force. Although this sword is abrupt and sharp, it cannot match the sharp claws that are swiping fiercely. The strength of Yuexunlong's attack obviously has the upper hand.

Taidao was slapped away by it, but it didn't get in the way.

This kind of head-to-head battle made Hayata's momentum rise rapidly.

Yue Xunlong, who was extremely sensitive, noticed this, and was startled. This monster, which was cunning and cautious by nature, did not choose to chase after it, but jumped sideways.

The faint blue body is like salt water sprinkled into the water, blending into the moonlight and mist and disappearing.

Hayata, who lost his opponent as soon as his momentum was raised, was interrupted in his battle rhythm, which was very uncomfortable.

She knew that Yue Xunlong hadn't left yet, but was hiding in the mist, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time, so she sheathed her saber and settled in, alerting herself to any possible attack at any time.

"seven o 'clock!"

Gail's reminder sounded suddenly, along with the roar of a series of crossbow bullets.

Hayata turned around quickly, and a phantom figure invisible to the naked eye emerged from the mist and rushed towards her.

She didn't dodge or dodge, but instead strode forward, turning around and swinging her blade to meet the attack.

Juhe!

The two passed by each other, and as Hayata turned around and rushed forward, Yue Xunlong's wing blade landed in the air, and the sword wrapped in the lingering sword energy cut a large piece of fine meat on the soft flesh of its waist. Knife marks.

"Wow~!" Gail let out a strange cry that might be admiration, and at the same time quickly turned the muzzle.

Yue Xunlong, who was wounded in the waist and jumped into the air, staggered to the ground. This opening was very short, but it was enough for an excellent shooter.

A series of penetrating bullets fell on Yue Xunlong's head like a torrential rain. The wounds caused by these crossbow bullets were not large, but very, very deep. The sharp cone-shaped bullets were stuck deep in the muscles and even on the bones, causing Yue Xunlong to howl in pain Again and again.

At the same time, an arrow as thick as a short spear struck from the darkness.

With the help of the gunpowder, Dragon's Arrow let out bursts of sharp whistling, and penetrated deeply into the soft part of Yue Xunlong's flank that was not covered by carapace bristles.

The one-meter-long arrow body was almost completely submerged.

"Gah-ah-ah-!"

"Wow, that's a terrible cry." Feng Ying looked back, "So don't mess with women, especially huntresses."

Anshir glanced at her.

This is said as if you are not a woman or a hunter.

"Concentrate, we are approaching the ancient tower." Gordon, who was running at the front of the team, reminded.

Fengying quickly withdrew her attention from the distant battlefield and became vigilant around her.

The so-called ancient pagoda ruins are not just a single tower, but a group of ruins covering an area of ​​several square kilometers.

The area where Hayata and the others fought was on the outskirts of the ruins.

In addition to the ancient pagoda located in the central area, there are also a large number of remnants of ancient buildings like stone pillars, giant stone gates, and stone bridges in the ruins.

People can't guess what kind of place it was in the ancient civilization period.

The ancient pagoda was already in sight, and it wasn't until now that the hunters realized how huge this ruin was.

Not to mention the top of the tower that is so deep into the clouds that you can't see the side when you look up, it would probably take a lot of time to run around the bottom of the tower.

Gordon raised a fist suddenly, and the three-man team stopped.

"Stay alert and take a break." Gordon looked up at this ancient giant tower that could not be built with today's technology, and the oppressive feeling in his heart was indescribable.

What kind of existence lives here?

Although depressed in his heart, the reason Gordon stopped was not because of this.

He came to a section of broken stone pillar near the entrance of the ancient pagoda, on which there was a message left by pork chop with charcoal pencil.

An Xier also noticed this, but he didn't hurry to get close to it, but followed Feng Ying, who was full of curiosity, and guarded his surroundings.

Soon, Gordon came back with a slightly weird expression.

"What's the matter?" Anshir asked.

"Pig Chop said that he saw a unicorn on the ground floor, which means don't enter directly from the entrance on the ground floor, but walk around the stone steps outside."

"Kirin?!"

An Xier was stunned, "There is a unicorn on the first floor? Then what kind of ghosts will be on it?"

"have no idea."

Gordon looked up again, looking at Guta.

The ancient pagoda is built on a very huge, layered foundation stone platform. There is an entrance at the bottom of the stone platform, which can be entered directly, or climbed up the stone platform through steps, and crosses the bottom layer built inside the stone platform.

"Are you sure it's the message left by the pork chop?" Due to all the things that happened before, Anshir seemed a little suspicious.

"Well, I can still read its handwriting, and a sticky cat face is drawn at the end, which is its customary signature."

"good."

Anshir watched the entrance of the black hole at the bottom of the stone platform vigilantly, for fear that a few thunderbolts would burst out suddenly.

"Come on, let's climb the stairs, we'll talk on the stone platform, stay alert."

Having made up his mind, Gordon stopped dawdling, and led his companions away from the entrance at the bottom of the stone platform, stepped on the slippery stone steps that had been covered with moss, and climbed up step by step.

The stone platform serving as the base of the ancient pagoda covers a wide area, but its height is not too exaggerated, nor steep. After a few minutes, the hunters came to the top of the stone platform.

Knowing that there are unicorns nearby, the hunters' nerves are very tense.

Gordon, who was the first to come to the top of the stone platform, looked around, trying to find the entrance of the ancient pagoda as soon as possible and enter it, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Then his expression froze.

On the stone platform, a purple-black monster with a chilly air all over his body was standing there quietly, staring at them with pure red eyes, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
