Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1281 I lied to you!
Faced with the Exploding Dragonite that was leaping back and opening a distance of more than ten meters, Ted immediately stopped attacking and had no intention of charging in pursuit.

Different monsters have different ways of dealing with them. If it is a monster like the Ice Curse Dragon that is good at breathing at a long distance, you should naturally try your best to get as close to it as possible.

However, there is no point in charging forward against the Explosive Dragon, which is good at close combat.

The former most likely has only one purpose in keeping distance - to build up momentum for the next attack.

Ted seized the opportunity, loaded a specially shaped and extraordinarily large Dragon Hang bullet into the barrel, then re-erected the large shield and prepared to meet the attack.

Sure enough, after a brief build-up of energy, the Exploding Dragon roared and pounced.

At the moment when the Explosive Dragon took off, Ted jumped back synchronously and created a little distance.

Don't underestimate the distance of two or three meters. Compared with facing the Explosive Dragon's pounce and attack head-on, the defensive pressure will be much less.

It's true that he's a typical heavy defender, but that doesn't mean he'll just stand there stupidly, holding up his shield and taking the fight.

The hundreds-ton body of the Explosive Dragon fell to the ground, shattering the volcanic rocks on the surface.

Seeing the opponent retreating, the Explosive Dragon roared angrily, slammed its head down, and smashed the hammer-shaped horns on top of its head down.

This time Ted did not hide. He tightened his muscles, prepared for the impact, bent his legs slightly, hid behind the big shield, and put his shoulder against the shield to enter a defensive posture.

"boom!"

The sound of the big horn hitting the shield was so sharp that Ted felt like a mountain was pressing down on the shield.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his joints, his well-tempered muscles bulged, almost bursting the armor.

This headbutt was heavier than the dragon chariots of many large monsters.

The shocking impact could not be completely resolved, so he had to jump back a step to relieve the force. Finally, he maintained his balance and successfully blocked the attack.

"**strong enough!"

Ted quickly jumped sideways to avoid the subsequent bite of the Explosive Dragon, threw open his shield with a curse, and thrust out the rifle tucked under his left arm.

The tip of the gun inserted into the side of the Explosive Dragon's head, and he pulled the trigger hard.

"Try my cannon!"

With a dull bang, the special Longhang bullet that he had just pushed into the barrel blasted out.

Unlike the ordinary Longhang cannon stakes which are "only" as thick as an arm, this Longhang bullet is as thick as an adult's thigh.

Under the powerful thrust of the primer explosion, this complex conical shell penetrated deep into the gap of the shell on the side of the explosive dragon's neck.

The projectile then pops open, with the barbs on the branches firmly stuck in the wound.

This is a new type of Longhang bullet developed by the processing house in recent months. The craftsmen named it "Detonating Longhang".

It sounds stupid and rough.

However, its actual effect was not as direct as the name suggested. The explosive dragon bomb emitting a red-hot light was stuck in the wound of the Explosive Dragon and did not explode immediately.

As Ted continued his cycle of bombardment, stabbing, and back-jumping, the explosive dragon-hanging bomb really came into play.

When the bullets from the gunfire covered it, the burning core at the center of the detonating Longhang bullet, like a nail being hammered repeatedly by a hammer, penetrated deep into the wound bit by bit.

Unlike the "tough" impression given by the gunpowder and its users, this thing is quite insidious.

The pain of having a red-hot steel nail driven into the neck can be imagined. The Explosive Crusher roared violently, with its scarlet eyes fixed on Ted, the one who caused all this.

This is exactly what Ted, as a vanguard, wants to see. The monster's attention is stable so that his companions can attack freely.

Through repeated attempts, Maka roughly confirmed the texture of the meat in various parts of the Explosive Dragon's body.

Except for the head with a relatively weak shell, the whole body of the Explosive Dragon is quite hard.

This was even after the attack of the Frost Curse Dragon and the explosion of the Critical Slime Mold had already shattered many parts of the shell.

Otherwise, it would be a huge problem for them to break through this shell that is tens of centimeters thick.

In the end, Maka chose the tail of the Explosive Dragon as the main attack point.

In order to facilitate the swinging of the huge tail hammer, the tail of the Explosive Dragon is not covered with a large piece of shell and has many gaps.

Although hitting it with the insect stick still feels like "hitting the ground", at least it won't bounce the knife.
Oshula can be said to be the most comfortable one.

The Explosive Dragon is huge, and even if you shoot quickly while moving, it is almost impossible to miss.

Moreover, with one companion at the head and the other at the tail, the shooting range in the middle was quite clear, so they could fire at will.

Not long after the war began, a base number of ice bombs and water-cooled bombs have been fired each.

If she had carried the amount of ammunition she usually did, she would be anxious about saving ammunition.

But this time
The ammunition boxes removed from Amber were piled not far away. Even if they opened fire at full power, they could still sustain for a while.

Even if all the ammunition here is used up, you can summon the pterosaurs back to the camp, where there are more stored.

She had never fought such a rich battle.

"I'm fucking blasted!"

Under the siege of three people, the Explosive Dragon, which was already seriously injured, not only did not retreat, but became even more violent.

It roared and turned its body, forcing back the two swordsmen beside it. Then it swung out its sticky tongue and licked its arms, where the slime mold was most concentrated, and the big horns on its head.

Stimulated by the active enzymes rich in saliva, the few remaining ancient slime molds began to proliferate rapidly again.

"Untie your mother!"

Feng Ying roared and chopped down the giant axe. The scorching axe blade surrounded by high-energy electricity fell towards the Ice Curse Dragon.

The Ice Curse Dragon, who was struggling to deal with Hayata's fierce attack from another direction, noticed the attack coming from its side and realized the power of the attack, so he didn't dare to take it head-on.

Lowering its head, it took two air blade slashes. The Ice Curse Dragon barely broke free from Hayata's entanglement and retreated backwards.

Feng Ying's axe hit the ground in vain.

However, what was strange was that the force of the giant axe hitting the ground was not as powerful as her shouting, and the axe blade penetrated the ground very shallowly.

Like, no effort at all.

"I lied to you!"

Feng Ying, who was indeed using no strength, continued to scream.

What he did just now was not a super solution at all, but a jumping technique called "Axe Jump".

Using the axe handle to pry, Feng Ying leaped up, and then used the traction of the Kinsect to fly to a higher position, arriving on the top of the retreating Ice Curse Dragon.

"Super! Solution!"

The real super solution hit the top of the Ice Curse Dragon's head, causing its raised head to sink suddenly.

The energy stored in the bottle exploded continuously along the former's back, shattering large pieces of scales.

“Ah!”

The Ice Curse Dragon, which suffered a heavy blow, staggered and howled in pain.

After completing the aerial release, Feng Ying jumped to the ground, waving her giant axe and approaching the Ice Curse Dragon, continuing her attack.

Hayata's expression was a little subtle.

She knew that Feng Ying learned the trick of shouting out random move names from Lie Yan.

First, shout loudly as if you are about to use a powerful attack, and then use your real killing move when your opponent is dodging the attack.

It's useless against slow-reacting monsters, but it works wonders for deceiving those alert and quick-reacting monsters.

Realizing that he had been fooled, the Ice Curse Dragon became extremely angry and turned his attention back to Feng Ying.

Seeing this, Hayata raised the corner of his mouth, quickly put away his weapon, and moved around behind the Ice Curse Dragon.

After taking the pressure off her main vanguard, she was finally able to prepare some more powerful sword moves.
