Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1272: A great shame and humiliation meow!

The location of the Exploding Dragon was closer than Feng Ying and others had expected.

Fortunately, the geological activities in the Molten Canyon are frequent and the terrain is complex, so it is not difficult to find a hidden shelter.

They had just hidden themselves and put on their invisible cloaks when the ferocious blue-black beast appeared in their sight.

Wow, it’s so big!
The same thought occurred to the three hunters.

Sophia even covered her chest with her hands, as if she had been shot in the heart and was about to faint on the spot.

Maka hurriedly supported her from behind, Feng Ying pinched her hard, and Oshula quickly covered her mouth, thus preventing any more unnecessary noise.

From a distance, the Explosive Dragon's movements might not seem very agile, but its thirty-meter size was no joke.

Each step was nearly ten meters. The earth trembled, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the cliff that Babaka had bombarded with rockets.

Its dim pupils stared at the charred mark on the cliff wall, and it moved closer to sniff it.

There is a natural difference between the smell of gunpowder from artificial gunpowder and the smell of slime mold explosion.

However, the Explosive Crusher, who was already in a manic and even half-crazy state under the torture of the repeated explosions of the ancient slime mold, would not think about these things at all.

All it knew was that a strange smell had appeared.

This means that there are new opponents nearby.

"Roar!"

The Explosive Crusher roared and swung one of its forearms, slamming it into the charred part of the rock wall, creating a large hole and leaving behind some golden slime mold.

These slime molds were activated by the impact, and a golden-red light like boiling magma emanated from the inside out.

Immediately afterwards, a blazing explosion of flames swept across the cliff.

"Boom--!"

The power of the explosion was no less than that of a heavy artillery bombardment. Large chunks of rock collapsed and cracks spread on the rock wall.

When the smoke and dust dispersed a little, the charred area left by the rocket bombardment had disappeared, along with a large section of the rock wall.

"This power"

The hunters looked grim, as this was just the result of a casual attack from the Explosive Dragon.

Even though they had specially prepared explosion-resistant equipment and decorative beads, which theoretically could suppress the activity of the slime mold and block the explosion, they were still a little unsure at this moment.

If it doesn't work and you get even a little bit of it on you, you'll end up in pieces.

Sophia's cheeks were still red, but she finally calmed down. She lowered her voice and explained, "Darling should be declaring his control over the territory in this way.

It's the same principle as leaving claw marks and urine.

Ah~, you are worthy of being called Darling, even making a mark is so generous."

Feng Ying glanced at her and warned this usually reliable girl with glasses not to get crazy at this time, then made a "hide" gesture to her companions.

The people hiding behind a large rock all crouched down, squeezed into the shadow behind the rock, pulled down the hoods of their invisibility suits, and stopped talking.

Perhaps it smelled a scent, or perhaps it intuitively sensed something, the Explosive Crusher was heading towards this place.

The heavy footsteps were getting closer.

A huge shadow covered the rock where Feng Ying and the others were hiding. Their heavy breathing could be heard clearly, mixed with the smell of blood and burnt explosions, which kept drilling into their noses.

Everyone held their breath.

Stimulated by the fishy smell, Amber, who had a keen sense of smell, wanted to sneeze, and his tail was stretched straight. Mushroom hugged its mouth and nose tightly, and Feng Ying also put her hand on the hilt of the sword behind her waist.

At this moment, another explosion was heard in the front, not too far away.

The Explosive Dragon suddenly turned its head, roared violently, took big steps, and rushed towards the direction where the explosion came from.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Mushroom loosened his grip on Amber's mouth and nose.

"It's ok, meow."

Amber whimpered in pain, but she had already held it back.

Oshura lifted the hood of his cloak and climbed up. "That was the sound of a small bomb barrel exploding. Did the Cat Hunters help?"

There was a bulge on the ground next to it, and a gray cat's head popped out.

"Who else could it be, meow?"

Xianglan crawled out of the cave, shaking off the dust on her body, and the wild boar and Li Zi also jumped out one after another.

Oshura looked in the direction where the Explosive Dragon left, thoughtfully, "The barrel bomb, the fuse was extended? Did you learn that from Pig Chop?"

Xianglan held up her paw in dissatisfaction, "Who else do I need to learn this little thing from? It was only when the team needed a healing cat at that time, otherwise I could also be a bomb meow!"

"Okay, stop bragging." Feng Ying rubbed its head vigorously. "I owe you this. Let's find a safe place first, otherwise that guy will come back later."

Xianglan, who was already familiar with the area, waved her paw and said, "Follow me, meow."

The group hurriedly left the place, followed the three Elu around, and soon came to a narrow cave.

The space inside the cave is only four or five square meters. It might be more appropriate to call it a rock crevice rather than a cave.

The larger ambers can only curl up after squeezing in, but it is enough as a temporary hiding place.

"Are all the people here? And why haven't we seen any signs of the Ice Curse Dragon appearing?" Xianglan spoke first before Feng Ying had the chance to ask about the situation.

Feng Ying's eyelids twitched, but she still answered, "They are all here. Something unexpected happened to the Ice Curse Dragon, so it went to the Dragon Crystal Land and made a circle, but it should still come this way in the end.

What we need to do now is to lure the Blasting Dragon to the vicinity of the large lava lake, circle around there, and wait for the signal from others."

"I understand, nya."

Xianglan licked her paw and said, "It's not hard to run away from that big guy. He's pretty stupid. He hasn't even noticed us yet."

At this point, Xianglan glanced at the hunters and said, "How come you were almost discovered as soon as you came here? How could you get so close to it? It has a very good sense of smell!"

Three high-ranking hunters and a senior dragon smasher looked at each other helplessly; they were being scolded by a cat and couldn't talk back.

As the captain of this temporary team, Feng Ying had to step forward and take responsibility, "I made a mistake in judgment. I didn't expect the Broken Dragon's sense of smell to be so sensitive.

So, how can we induce it safely? Do you have any suggestions?"

Xianglan held up her paws and raised her chin, "I think you should be more respectful to your seniors, meow, call me Lady Xianglan first, meow!"

Feng Ying's forehead veins were throbbing. She reached out to grab Xianglan, pinched its armpits with both hands and lifted it up. Ailu's soft body was dragged very long under the action of gravity.

Feng Ying began to shake her head vigorously, "Senior, you were still playing with sand at home when I became a hunter!
Tell me now, or I’ll tell Hayata that you interfered with the mission and I’ll shave all your hair off!”

After being the leader of the Cat Hunting Team for a few days, Xianglan completed the stage tasks beautifully, and just saved everyone again. She was obviously a little proud.

But violence always makes people sober.

Of course it can't beat Fengying, and it may not even be able to beat Mushroom.
After being shaken by Feng Ying and unable to break free, he could only surrender and beg for mercy in humiliation.

"I was wrong, meow. Please let me go, meow."

Feng Ying sneered and let go of her hand.

Xianglan fell back to the ground and muttered, "That Broken Dragon not only has a keen sense of smell, but also a keen sense of hearing. If it hears any movement, it will immediately run over.

You can use this method to lead it over little by little.

We found a lot of gunpowder grass around here, we can make some simple small bombs to create noise."

After saying that, it turned its head and stared at the stunned Li Zi and Boar, and said viciously:
"You didn't see anything just now, meow. If you dare to tell anyone, I'll scratch you to death, meow!"
