Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"That's the Lightning Bug?!" Gordon blurted out a question, but his tone was quite certain.

The thunderbolt spit out by Fuyuelong does not have a straight and fast trajectory like the energy breath, but flutters and seems to be alive.

The thunderbolts fired by Thunder Wolf Dragon are very similar to this one, except that the light clusters that Fuyue Dragon spits out, which are suspected to be lightning insects, are particularly large.

Maybe it's a special breed.

Facing Fuyuelong's attack, the timid Nanaxi crazily dug and burrowed into the ground, and finally hid underground before the thunder bombs struck.

Those balls of mine bombs landed on the ground, bursting out bursts of dazzling thunder light. If they were hit head-on, it would probably be very uncomfortable.

"Whoosh—"

A dye bomb landed on Fuyuelong from a distance.

Gail was the one who fired. There was no need to open the mirror to lock on such a large target. After firing the crossbow, she immediately put away the light crossbow and continued to run.

The hunting cats and shooters tried to draw Fuyuelong's attention repeatedly in this way, creating favorable conditions for the evacuation of all members.

There is nothing wrong with this strategy in itself, but they underestimated Fuyuelong's IQ.

It simply ignored those innocuous temptations, stretched out its octopus-like tentacles, and spun a few times in the air at a height of more than 100 meters, as if it was picking a target.

The hunting cats who got into the ground, and Hilda, who had a very low sense of presence, were directly skipped by it.

Gale, who was dressed in a mess of equipment, was not interested, but the faint scent of ancient dragons emanating from Gordon, Hayatta, and Anshir made it a little greedy.

One on this side, two on that side, and a bigger one.

Turning his eyes slowly, Fuyuelong completely locked his attention on Gordon and Hayata, to be precise on Gordon.

The huge but soft body shrank for a while, and a large stream of decaying gas was ejected. At the same time, its arms and legs were swaying. It was floating in the air like a mollusk swimming in the water, heading towards Gordon and the others. Speed ​​up and fly away.

Noticing that he was being targeted again, Gordon couldn't help but swear, and stepped up desperately.

After running with all his strength for a long time, [He Yao] was activated, and the dragon energy gushed out from the gaps in the armor, especially the nozzles behind the shoulder armor, which helped him run while reducing his physical exertion (continuous running).

However, what he didn't expect was that the high-energy dragon aura made him more conspicuous and attractive in the eyes of Fuyue Long.

It flies faster.

Seeing the distance between Fuyuelong and himself getting closer, he realized that he must not be able to rush into the dense forest in time.

Gordon intends to try to fight, it's better than turning his back on the monster, running and being eaten in one bite.

At least decent.

Noticing the slowing of Gordon's pace, Hayatta, realizing what he was about to do, changed course and moved closer to him.

Gordon, who saw Hayata's action from the corner of the eye, was a little helpless, but at this time, she probably wouldn't listen to him who was yelling for her to go.

It's the same reason that if Fuyuelong is going towards her, he will definitely rush over to support her.

"Don't slow down! Keep running! I have a way to stop it!"

Anshir's shout came from a distance, and Gordon and the approaching Hayata looked at each other. The two put down their palms on the hilt of their swords and quickened their pace again.

The body of Fuyuelong in the air swelled again.

Anshir, who rushed to a certain position with the heavy crossbow in his arms, stopped with a shovel, and a supernova was filled into the chamber of the crossbow. When the Fuyuelong spewed out gas again, and pushed the crossbow forward, the crossbow was ejected.

The crossbow turned into a line of fire and went straight into the air.

This supernova did not aim at Fuyuelong's body. Because it used a timing lead, the range of the supernova was not enough to directly attack Fuyuelong at an altitude of nearly 100 meters.

Anshir aimed at the gas ejected by the Fuyuelong.

In fact, he didn't know much about it. It was just a guess. Fuyuelong didn't have wings, but it could float in the air.

With the exception of hot air balloons, which use fuel to keep them warm, most airships rise because of the lift provided by the lightweight gas in their bladders, which is often flammable and explosive.

He noticed just now that when Fuyuelong spewed out gas to boost its acceleration, its flight altitude dropped significantly, so the gas it spewed out should be some kind of gas that is lighter than air.

The bright flame and high temperature of the supernova explosion may be able to ignite it.

Even if it can't, it can distract Fuyuelong's attention and help Gordon and the others win a little time, right?

"boom--!"

The supernova blasted a huge fireball with a diameter of more than ten meters in the air, and then, a more violent explosion occurred.

In the muffled sound of "bang", the gas that had just been sprayed out by Fuyuelong and whose concentration was just diluted to a certain threshold range was ignited, and a terrifying wave of air swept around, even the Fuyuelong in the sky was blown upside down He made two somersaults.

Seeing this, Anshir smiled, folded and put away the heavy crossbow, and rushed towards the nearby dense forest.

"Great! Big fireworks!" Gail cheered in the distance.

The corner of Hilda's eyes twitched a few times in the other direction, so she could only pray and look at the ancient tower in the center of the ruins.

don't wake up don't wake up don't wake up

The blocking effect of Anshir's supernova was surprisingly good.

After all, the Fuyue Dragon has no wings, and its flying method is passive. The strong air current has a great impact on its floating in the air. It took a lot of work to finally adjust its flying posture.

Gordon and Hayatta also took this opportunity to cross the border between the ruins and the forest, and a sea of ​​trees composed of densely planted trees was in sight.

"Roar woo woo woo—"

The low and muffled roar echoed in the ancient ruins, Fuyue Long was furious, and his bloated body spun rapidly.

It was like a huge frisbee, spinning and turning its direction, crashing into the dense forest that Anshir retreated into, countless giant trees were smashed, and the tremor of the ground could be clearly felt from far away.

Gordon stopped abruptly and looked back.

The Fuyue Dragon, which smashed into pieces the large forest, shook its mountain-like body and rose into the air again. It opened its huge abyss-like mouth, and the terrifying suction enveloped the forest that was smashed to pieces by it.

Trees, shrubs, turf, dirt, and even tree roots buried deep in the ground.

Everything within tens of thousands of square meters was swept by that suction force and poured into Fuyuelong's wide-opened mouth.

Almost in the blink of an eye, at the junction of the ancient pagoda ruins and the sea of ​​trees, there was a large piece of nothing, only the disgusting spots of bare land.

Gordon, whose brain was in a mess, widened his eyes, and Hayata couldn't help covering his mouth with his palm.

It was hard for them to imagine how Anshir could survive such an attack.

This silence lasted for several seconds, and Gordon suddenly said, "I'm going to check, he must be alive."

"I'll go too." Hayata tightened Taidao's strap and followed Gordon's footsteps.

However, at this moment, another figure that seemed to appear in the night blocked them.

It's Hilda. "Back off."

Gordon was very emotional, he was about to say something when he was interrupted coldly by Hilda: "The past is meaningless now.

If Anxier is hit or swallowed by the Fuyue Dragon, he will definitely die, and if you go, it will only add two more dead.

If Anshir is still alive there, you will only attract Fuyuelong's unnecessary attention and hurt him instead.

Withdrew into the sea of ​​trees, immediately, wait until Fuyuelong calmed down or moved away, and then came back to start the search and rescue. "

Hilda's words made Gordon and the others regain some sanity.

Under the gaze of the former, Gordon and Hayata forced themselves to calm down, gritted their teeth and slowly retreated into the sea of ​​trees.
