Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1246: Not Diing in a Group Fight

As an old dragon, the Ice Fang Dragon took some time to recover and slowly crawled up from the ground.

It stared warily at the hunters in front of it that had "multiplied" into four.

There was a flash of human-like fear in its ice-blue pupils. It had been able to survive until now because it was more cunning than those bad-tempered young individuals and knew how to judge the situation better.

In the previous battle, it had already realized how difficult the hunter was.

Two hunters are enough to make it feel threatened, now that number is doubled.
It began to have the idea of ​​retreating.

Take a deep breath, and a large cloud of extremely cold white mist gushes out.

Gail and Hayata flew back in time, but Fengying and Gene, who had no experience in dealing with this kind of attack, were a little slow. Before they could completely withdraw from the frost fog, their legs and feet were frozen by the frost.

The two men's faces changed drastically. Gene quickly raised his sword, ready to take the attack. Feng Ying directly used silk to fix the shield and entered a fully charged defensive posture.

However, the "attack" did not come from in front of him, but from behind him.

Two fire bombs landed at their feet. The explosion of gunpowder powder scared them, but it also successfully rescued them.

The Ice Fang Dragon also took this opportunity to retreat to a safe distance, then turned around and ran.

Gene was stunned. "I didn't even cut him once, how come he ran away?!"

Hayata remained on guard until the Ice Fang Dragon's figure completely disappeared deep in the complex cave, then he swung his sword and put away his weapon.

"Feng Ying, ride the Fang Hound and follow it from a distance. You don't need to attack it, just make sure it won't suddenly come back to attack you.

Jin, go back to Master Yuanye and the others. There is only one person with some fighting ability over there, it is not safe."

The two looked at each other, both feeling confused as to "how come the battle has just begun and it's over?", but they still did as they were told.

Gale also breathed a sigh of relief and carried the scalding [Fire Dragon Destroyer Cannon] behind him.

"I prepared three times the standard amount of fire bullets this time. I have already used up nearly 150 of them. After a while, I will have to use the normal bullets."

"So Anshil's standard ammunition carrying capacity is three base numbers or more." Hayata said with a smile.

Gail glanced at Liefeng and muttered, "Who can carry him? He is the only one who has a dog."

Liefeng was squatting beside the corpse of the leader Fengpialong and drooling, his intention was obvious.

"Come here, come here, you'll have something to eat after you peel it!" Gail took out the peeling knife and walked over. Just as he was about to cut, he remembered something and pulled back.

"No, I have bad hands. Don't cut the jade for me. You should make the first cut."

Hayata had no choice but to walk towards the huge dragon head that had rolled next to the corpse.

Materials like gems are not like other organs. Their positions are relatively random. They are more likely to appear on the head, but they may also be peeled out from the tip of the tail.

After skillfully cutting and prying for a while, Hayata took out a blood-stained blue jade from the Fengpiaosaurus's skull.

"Got it." Hayata smiled happily.

Can be used as a protective stone for babies!

Gail, who was watching from the side, pulled the corners of his mouth fiercely.

Although we have indeed created a special individual that is most likely to produce precious jade, isn't this too much of an understatement?

We don’t believe it!
Unconvinced, Gail waved his knife and began to peel.

The group reunited in a small, enclosed cave on the ice wall that looked very safe.

Alva had already marked this location on the map; it was a natural spot to set up camp.

Master Yuanye snorted coldly after glancing at the full load of materials for Leader Fengpialong on Liefeng's back.

"Since you've hunted, at least you didn't waste it."

As if he was still not satisfied, Master Yuanye stretched out his fingers and tapped Hayata and Gale's foreheads a few times, "You're hunting the tribe leader for a piece of precious jade, right?
Fortunately you didn't hunt that Ice Fang Dragon, otherwise you would be in trouble!"

In front of Master Yuanye, Hayata and the others certainly didn't dare to use excuses like "self-defense" anymore. They lowered their heads and eyes, accepting the reprimand obediently.

Master Yuanye didn’t train for too long.

In the New World, many rules may not be as strict as those in the Old World, the core area of ​​human civilization, but they cannot be too arbitrary.

This is not only to protect the ecology, but also to protect human beings themselves.

There are many examples in history of monsters fighting back and destroying villages and towns due to uncontrolled hunting.

Although what Hayata and the others did was not excessive, they still deserve a few criticisms.

By the way, young people like Lian Fengying, Gene, and Ai Bo were also forced to receive a wave of ecological protection education.

After Master Yuanye finished his lecture, the matter was over. Gale, who looked like a lackey, smiled and said, "Sister Yuanye."

Master Yuanye looked at her coldly.

".I'm sorry, Master Yuanye, I'm sorry to ask you to bring people to help us. Now that the matter here is over, shall we follow you from now on?"

Yuanye was about to say that it was not necessary, but Hayata followed suit and said, "The ice field environment is harsh, especially in mountainous areas like this. The monsters that live nearby are quite strong.

If we are with you, you can explore more dangerous areas more calmly, right?"

Master Yuanye frowned when he heard this.

In fact, she had already discovered some clues about the expedition team, and she had been investigating the nearby area for the past month or two.

But as Hayata said, the monsters nearby are very powerful, making it difficult to advance the investigation.

With Fengying and Gene's protection, it is actually more than enough, and two more top hunters seem to be dispensable.

Seeing that Master Yuanye was about to refuse, Alva quickly said, "It's not just a matter of force, we can help too! Archaeology is also half of my major!

If it involves ancient documents or murals, we can at least make a rough interpretation of it!"

Master Yuanye really wanted to say that the expedition team only took place half a century ago and had nothing to do with "archaeology" or "ancient characters".

But after thinking about it, he didn't refuse stubbornly.

Forget it, three sheep will be driven anyway, seven sheep will be let go anyway, so just take them with you.

After a long period of trekking through mountains and rivers, Gordon and his two companions, led by the Beast Clan team, finally arrived at a natural open-air hot spring pool.

"Is it so far?" Ansel began to miss Liefeng.

Hertha opened the map, completed the route, and quickly sketched the nearby terrain.
"We have come to an area outside the current map. In fact, the straight-line distance is not too far. It is less than five kilometers away from the snow forest where we encountered the Bullosaurus, and the distance to the Yuechen stronghold is only about fifteen kilometers."

Gordon glanced at the darkening sky and asked, "Less than five kilometers?"

His sense of direction was pretty good, but after walking in the vast snow forest for almost a whole day, he was a little lost.

"Well, the road from there to here is blocked by a mountain range, so we took a long detour." Heta closed the map notes, "If there were pterosaurs, they would be here in the blink of an eye."

"It seems we have to let them hurry up and train the Winter Wing Dragon." Gordon said to himself.

"Woo-ba!"

The Beast Clan leader who led the way jumped up and down, pointing at the open-air hot spring whose water was dark yellow in color due to the rich sulfur content.

"It said the nest was just ahead."

"In the hot spring?" An Xier was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "The entrance to the passage is under the hot spring?"

"That's probably what it means."

Sure enough, several beast tribesmen waved their little paws and dived into the hot spring pool.

Gordon sighed.

In this weather, I really don’t want to get my clothes wet, as they will turn into lumps of ice when the cold wind blows. But what can I do?

"I brought a waterproof leather bag." Ansel took out a neatly folded leather bag from his backpack, "You can put things like notes and maps that can't get wet in it."

As he spoke, he took out a small shovel and handed it to Gordon, "The winter cloak is too thick, it can't be stuffed in, bury it in the snow pile over there.

Dig it out when you leave. The temperature here is low enough and it won’t get damp.

And this, a fertilizer bomb, throw it near the snow pile to drive away wild animals, so that the cloak will not be dug out and bitten by some animals."

"."

The other two looked at each other.

Gordon muttered quietly, "It's so well prepared that it's a bit disgusting."

"Yes."

Ansel glanced at them without saying anything. He collected the map and other items, put them into a waterproof leather bag and tied it up.

Gordon was digging a hole in the dry snow with a small shovel, and Hertha also had a bitter face and took off his thick and warm coat.

After dealing with these, the three of them jumped into the not-so-clear hot spring pool.

Ps.
　Frost Blade is only temporarily out of the game and will have some more roles later. I still like the design of this monster and will try to arrange a more appropriate ending.
