Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1295 Stress Response
When the people in the base received a warning that a monster was about to attack.

Although nervous, he did not seem panicked.

Everyone’s idea is very simple.

Even if the attacking monster is an ancient dragon, there are still several high-level hunters staying in the base, and with the defensive facilities, the attackers can always be repelled.

After all, it’s not the first or second time that the investigation team has repelled or even killed ancient dragons.

In the eyes of the members of the Ancient Dragon Investigation Team in the New World, ancient dragons are not natural disasters that cannot be defeated by human power, nor are they gods. At best, they are just some exceptionally powerful monsters.

However, when people witnessed the scene of a large number of flying dragons swarming in, the feeling of fear still inevitably grew among the crowd.

Even the experienced hunters couldn't help but hold their breath and their hearts began to beat wildly.

The hunters who are able to join the survey team are all elite without exception, and none of them lack experience in hunting flying dragons.

If it was one or two flying dragons, there would be no need for the upper-level hunters to take action. Any elite team could easily solve the problem.

If there are three or five of them, it would indeed be quite scary, after all, large flying dragons rarely live in groups.

Missions to hunt male and female fire dragons at the same time are relatively rare, and most hunters probably have no experience in dealing with more than two large flying dragons at the same time.

However, arranging several teams to cooperate with each other, disperse the opponents, and defeat them one by one is still within the scope of what can be done.

However, just a cursory glance could confirm that there were nearly twenty large flying dragons hovering over the stronghold, ready to swarm down at any time.

Not to mention having experienced it, it has never even appeared in nightmares.

The number of Wind Drifting Dragons has exceeded the total number of hunters in the Yuechen stronghold at this moment. Even in the most ideal situation, one person against one is not enough to deal with them.

Not to mention, Fengpialong is famous for his cooperation.

There doesn't have to be too much. When the two wind dragons take turns waving frost winds, breathing cold air, and spiraling towards you, even a top hunter would inevitably have a headache.

How to do?
This simple yet complex question emerged in everyone's mind.

"boom!"

Someone pulled the gun cord, and the roar of the artillery broke the silence in the battle street.

The shells whizzed and bombarded the distant mountains, and the exploding flames startled the group of wind dragons in the sky, causing them to let out shrill screams.

Everyone couldn't help but look over.

The one who fired the cannon was a swordsman. He shouted, "Don't panic! Monsters are not an army. They won't rush at us all at once!

You must not attack alone! Fight in small groups, focusing on the artillery and crossbows!"

As a top shooter, Gale naturally took over the responsibility of commanding the heavy weapons. She waved her arms and shouted, "Load the crossbow with restraint bullets!

The rapid-fire artillery is fully loaded, don't rush to fire, wait for the opportunity! "

The uneasiness in everyone's hearts could not be dispelled by a few words of morale-boosting. The instructions from the swordsmanship master and Gale at least told them what to do next.

To be able to become a hunter, everyone has good psychological quality. No matter whether it is panic or any other emotion, put it aside for the time being and the hunters act quickly.

The sword master's guess was correct.

The group of wind-drifting dragons did not come here with a clear purpose such as hunting or fighting for territory. They were just driven here by the Ice Curse Dragon.

The mysterious singing that spread in the wind made them become manic, and the voices and firelight in the Yuechen stronghold further stimulated them, causing them to enter a state similar to stress.

A Wind Dragon finally couldn't bear it anymore, and swooped down with a scream, rushing towards the hunters gathered in the battle street.

Gail grabbed a heavy crossbow that had just been loaded with restraint bullets, estimated the dive route of the Wind Dragon, took aim, and pulled the trigger.

Amid the humming sound of the steel crossbow, the crossbow arrow connected to the steel cable, as thick as a short spear, turned into a blurry afterimage and shot into the air.

The heavy crossbow, which must be wound by a mechanical capstan, is much more powerful than the crossbow used by hunters.

The pure steel crossbow arrow covered with huge barbs easily broke through the defense of the flying dragon's scales and accurately pierced into the side of the wind-drifting dragon.

"Jiye!"

The Fengpiaosaur, which was suddenly hit hard, screamed in pain, subconsciously spread its wings, changed into a diving posture, and hovered in the air more than ten meters above the ground.

"Om-"

The buzzing sound of the crossbow rang out again, and another archer activated the heavy crossbow. Another restraining bullet penetrated into the root of the wing of the wind-drifting dragon.

"Come down here!" Gene roared and activated the mechanism.

The steam-driven winch spun rapidly, and the mechanical force could even control the giant ancient dragon for a moment. Facing this pulling force, the Wind Dragon, which was not known for its strength, had almost no strength to resist.

He lost his balance in an instant and was dragged to the ground by the steel cable.

"Aim!" Gale raised his arms high.

The two heavy automatic artillery pieces were loaded with the help of the swordsmen. The shooter in charge of the operation gave them loud instructions and pushed the gun to adjust the angle.

The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the Wind-Drifting Dragon that was firmly tied to the ground.

"Fire!" Gale waved his hand vigorously.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The rapid-fire artillery used by the investigation team can be loaded with five high-explosive howitzer shells weighing dozens of kilograms at a time, and two fully loaded artillery pieces can hold ten shells.

This weapon was designed from the beginning to be used to guard fortresses and deal with tough opponents like ancient dragons. It is obviously too powerful to use it to bombard a Wind Dragon.

Especially at such a close distance of only thirty meters, for direct-fire artillery, this distance is almost the same as being right at the muzzle.

The continuous explosions drowned out the screams of the poor Wind-Piaolong. When the smoke cleared, the Wind-Piaolong that had launched the attack first had turned into a pile of broken bones, and the scattered blood had dyed the snow on the ground red.

Gene raised his fist high and roared and cheered with the hunters, but Gale's face remained solemn.

This is just the first one.

"Don't waste time! Reload!"

The flames, the loud noises, the pungent smell of gunpowder, and the fishy smell of their own blood, all of these seriously irritated the group of wind-drifting dragons hovering in the air.

The emotion of fear is not only felt by humans. Many wind dragons were visibly shaken and were about to flee in all directions.

From the snowy forest not far away, a cry with an obvious warning was heard.

Hayata, who had not moved since the group of wind dragons appeared and was quietly feeling the movements around him, suddenly opened his eyes, took a step forward, and rushed towards the snow forest where the cry came from.

The swordsmanship master's reaction was not slower than hers, but his legs were not as nimble as the young man's, so he lagged behind by half a beat.

That's where their real enemy is.

——Ice Curse Dragon, only by getting rid of this culprit can the crisis be truly resolved.

In the sky, due to the threat of the Ice Curse Dragon, they were chased and killed all the way. Nearly ten Wind Drifting Dragons were brutally killed. The fear had already penetrated into their bones, and they didn't even dare to escape anymore.

With these two evils combined, the wind dragons, which were already in an extremely manic state, could no longer care about anything else. Amidst the chaotic and crazy roars, they swooped down in groups.

The Moon Defense War officially breaks out.
