Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Jean was not really stupid, and he quickly realized that the thorn-covered monster in front of him was not the same thing as the "walking volcano" that the investigation team had recently tracked down.

The body shape has changed many times.

"Isn't it an unknown ancient dragon?"

Jean pulled down his visor, and his slightly trembling body returned to calm. On the contrary, a depressing but destructive momentum spread like a volcano about to erupt.

His heart was beating wildly, and even Jean himself couldn't tell whether he was scared or excited at this moment.

The first time I faced the big wild boar, the first time I faced the Snow Lion King, the first time I faced the big booming dragon
It seems that every time he encounters a difficult opponent, he will have a similar mood.

The experience of escaping from death countless times told him that when faced with monsters whose strength is far superior to his own, the prerequisite for successful escape is not to be timid.

You must not let the other party think that you are a bastard fish like a mushroom pig. Instead, you must be like the Qimian tribe, rushing to chop it without hesitation. Only if you are not suppressed in terms of momentum can you have a chance to escape.

"Come on, meow!" Nanasi pulled Nellie and began to retreat.

This has been discussed long ago. If there is a crisis, Nellie must evacuate immediately. She can't be of much help in the battle.

Nellie didn't hesitate, and while cautiously retreating away, she took out the distress signal flare and fired it.

I don’t know about places further away, but at least Aiden here will quickly come to support after seeing the signal.

Nergigante's eyes were firmly fixed on Jean, who was wearing black armor. This was the only opponent present who deserved its attention.

As if to vent his emotions, Jean let out a wild roar, and then rushed at full speed towards the ancient dragon covered in black thorns.

Nergigante didn't expect that the opponent would be the first to attack.

Unable to bear this provocation, it spread its wings, and its terrifying roar stirred up dust, forming air waves visible to the naked eye, and struck towards the young hunter.

The huge sound waves were enough to shatter the eardrums, but Jean remained unmoved.

The heavy structure of the Tyrannosaurus helmet (with large earplugs) helped him filter out most of the noise. The roar of his opponent was still harsh, but it no longer interfered with his actions.

The full force of the slash fell, and the Nergigante's roar was interrupted, but its reaction speed was fast enough. It tilted its head to avoid the attack, and roared back with its sharp claws.

If Hayata were here, he would definitely choose to see the attack at this moment, disrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm and creating loopholes.

Gene is a completely different style.

Before the dragon claw could be struck, he swung the sword again, and then rolled over to avoid the attack.

The insufficiently sharp blade was deflected by the tough black thorns, and the tremors on the ground made it difficult for him to stand still.

But he didn't care about this, and swung the weapon again with a crazy attitude of "I will attack even if I fall!"

Under the rapid secretion of adrenaline, his movements gradually accelerated. Just like when he used an old hatchet to kill a big wild boar when he was a child, Jean launched a life-threatening attack.

When Gordon and his team arrived, the struggle between Jean and the Nergigante had been going on for some time.

Fortunately, Aiden, who was nearby, came to support early, otherwise Gene alone would not be able to survive the Nergigante's claws for so long.

Even so, the condition of the two of them was still not very good.

Or to put it another way, it would be more appropriate to say "danger is everywhere".

Especially Jean, who was the vanguard, had at least seven or eight jet-black thorns inserted into his body. He looked like a black hedgehog, with blood constantly flowing from the gaps in his armor.

This is thanks to the super defensive performance brought by the thick armor of Tyrannosaurus, otherwise Jean would not look like a hedgehog at this time, but like a sieve.

Seeing that Gene and the others were at least alive, Gordon and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Pork Chop immediately threw a flash bomb, disrupting the Nergigante and forcing it to divert its attention.

Without the need for too many tactical arrangements, Gordon and Feng Ying launched a charge together, facing the front of the Nergigant, while Hayata acted as a shortstop, attacking the side of the Nergigant in a roundabout way.

Anhil found a high point, set up the heavy crossbow, and while preparing for cover, loudly commanded Jean Aiden to withdraw from the battlefield.

The two naturally knew that retreating at this time was the best choice. Aiden folded and put away the heavy crossbow, quickly ran to Jean, picked up the seriously injured Jean, and staggered away.

Seeing that the two men successfully evacuated under the support of the editors, Ancil's eyes returned to the battlefield.

Seeing Feng Ying charging at such a fast speed and hitting the Nergigante's face one step ahead of Gordon, Ancil couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This seems to be the first full-scale battle of the Silverborder Hunting Group in several years.The effect of flash bombs on Nergigante's vision was very limited. Feng Ying had just rushed in front of Nergigante, and before she could swing her sword to attack, Nergigante's claws had already been struck down.

Judging from the Nergigante's physique and the sound of its claws breaking through the wind, the power of this attack cannot be underestimated.

There was not enough time to use the insect skill to fully charge the defense. Feng Ying stopped and stabilized her center of gravity. She inserted the sword into the shield. Amidst the friction of the mechanical structure, the sword and the large shield quickly changed forms.

At the moment when it was about to switch to ax form, the Nergigante's claws fell on the shield axe.

"boom!"

Feng Ying was knocked back several steps by this blow, and the shield ax that had transformed into half was also smashed apart, returning to the state of a large shield and sword.

But she also used this to withstand the heavy claw attack of the Nergigante.

"Nice defense."

Gordon charged past her, leaving a compliment.

Seizing the small flaw that was almost invisible after the Nergigante attacked, Gordon shouted and waved his sword.

The familiar aura caused the Nergigante's pupils to suddenly shrink, and it shook its head suddenly, its big horns and big sword locked together.

"Chong!"

Gordon also narrowed his eyes slightly. This touch was harder than he thought.

It was probably the difference between hard and heavy bones and hard-tempered steel. If his muscles hadn't been tense enough, the sword might have been thrown out of his hand.

"It's really you." Gordon took a few steps back.

The large horn on the right side of the Nergigante in front of him was pitch black with a metallic luster, and was thicker than the bone-white one on the left.

At the same time, the color of its body is also darker than that of the fight more than three years ago, and the bone spines on its body have become denser and sharper.

It's almost like it has evolved.

This change reminded him of the devil deep in the desert.

After experiencing the setback of the broken horn, not only did he not become weaker because of it, but he became stronger through the continuous battle training?
There was a surge of excitement in my heart for no reason.

Through the bars of the visor, Gordon stared firmly into the eyes of the Nergigante.

The eyes of the two met together, and in the next moment, they launched an attack at the same time.

Swinging his sword horizontally, it clashed with the claws of the Nergigante. Gordon roared and used his strength to forcefully push aside the Nergigante's claws.

Without any pause, the Nergigante moved from top to bottom and swung its second claw, which was faster and heavier.

Gordon turned his sword and put it on his shoulder, entering into a one-stop posture, and the sword collided with the sharp claws again.

"Ziqa——!" The sound of sharp objects colliding and rubbing was heartbreaking.

Feng Ying leaned back tactically.

She had just used precision defense to catch a claw, and she knew the power of her opponent's claws. Could she withstand such attacks continuously? !
With the power of the claw strike, Gordon, who had completed the charge preparation, roared and swung the counterattack True Charge Slash.

The extermination dragon raised its head, and the big black horn collided with the big sword again.

"Boom!" With the sound of a bomb detonating, the hunter and Gu Long took a few steps back at the same time.

Their eyes were still locked together, and just as they were about to restart their attack, the ground suddenly shook slightly.

A low rumble echoed in my ears.

Vibrations and sounds came from the far north. It seemed like an earthquake had occurred?

Nergigante suddenly turned his head and looked over there.

Then, it lowered its head, looked deeply at Gordon again, spread its wings wide, rose up from the ground, rushed into the sky, and disappeared under the dim sky.

Ps. It’s not the Annihilator Nergigante, it’s an intermediate state that’s not even interesting yet?
