Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1317 Training
Alva's worries are simple to put it bluntly.

He thought that this Qilin might have become irritable for some reason, and that we should not deal with it based on the experience in the illustrated information, but should be more vigilant.

As for the reason, there are many possibilities, such as pregnancy, personal injury, feeling some threat, etc., and it is impossible to be sure.

Gordon couldn't help but recall the time when they were hunting the Boom Dragon in the Flasiya Snow Mountain. The unicorn they encountered was also quite violent. It summoned lightning to strike them as soon as it saw them.

If Amos had not arrived in time, he and Hayata might have confessed at that time.

"Be alert and be prepared to fight back, assuming that Qilin will take the initiative to attack," Gordon ordered.

Ignoring Alva's protests, Ted and Az once again raised their shields, trapping him in the middle, making him unable to move.

Gordon quickly collected trace samples from all around.

A battle broke out here not long ago, and there were many traces of Qilin's aura nearby. As he continued to put specimens such as soil samples into the insect guide cage, the blue light emitted by the insect guide became brighter and brighter.

Finally, the guide insect, having extracted enough breath, flew out, condensed into a light path in the air, and began navigation.

The fluorescent blue light path pointed upwards, and the guide insects flew and climbed up a cliff made up of countless coral reefs.

The hunters looked up.

The next second, the light path formed by the guide insects turned red, symbolizing danger, and disintegrated.

A pale figure with dazzling electric light all over its body appeared on the top of the cliff. It looked down from above, staring at the hunters below with its true red pupils without a trace of other colors.

"Good fellow, we were still tracking it, but it found us first."

Ted grinned, swung his [Shattering Light] rifle, and quickly loaded it. Az also raised his spear and entered a combat state.

Gordon stared at the phantom beast standing high up, pressed down his palm, and signaled his companions behind him to stay calm.

In fact, he was the most restless one.

The moment Qilin appeared, the [Crazy Patterns] on his body awakened.

He didn't even pull down his visor to give himself a hint of freeing himself from mental restraints.

The desire to tear everything apart and devour everything, and the fanatical roar that existed only in his spirit, surged into his brain like a tide, drowning his thoughts and corroding his will.

If a young hunter who lacked relevant experience was here, he might have lost his mind in an instant and rushed forward howling wildly.

Gordon narrowed his eyes only slightly.

This level of erosion was not enough to affect his thoughts, but he was also aware that this set of [Crazy Marks] was even crazier than before.

In other words, even more "disobedient".

The familiar roar kept exploding in his mind. Gordon took a deep breath and whispered, "Shut up!"

The roar paused for a moment, then intensified.

"Are you okay?" Pig Chop asked quickly after noticing that something was wrong with Gordon.

"fine."

While Gordon was fighting the madness with reason, he said to his companions in a low voice with a strange echo: "Stand back.

Don't make a move until I give the signal."

Pork Chop isn't going to listen to Gordon this time.

It retreated to Ted and the others, and said loudly, so loud that Gordon could hear it clearly, "If you can resist swinging your sword at Qilin, we won't attack, meow.

Once you launch an attack, we will immediately join the battle, meow."

"Row!"

Gordon responded simply, looking directly at Qilin and confronting him.

——Use the ancient dragon to fully activate the [Mad Mark], maintain one's own calmness and rationality, adapt to its influence, and bring it under control again.

He had come here with this purpose in mind. If possible, he hoped to stare at Qilin here for the whole day.

But he is willing, but Qilin is not.

The pure red eyes of the phantom beast revealed a hint of confusion and fear.

As Alva had guessed, it was in a rather irritable mood for some reason.

The only reason it did not launch an attack immediately in the face of Gordon's provocative eye-to-eye behavior was because it recognized the ferocious and explosive aura from Gordon.

The breath of the Nergigante...

Qilin couldn't understand why the aura of the monster that it deeply feared appeared on a human being.

The other party neither retreated nor took the initiative to attack, but just stared at its strange behavior quietly, which made it even more confused.

Under normal circumstances, it might stare at the other party for a while out of curiosity to see what the other party is going to do.

But the restlessness in its heart made it lose interest in continuing the confrontation.

"Eh-!"

Lightning flashed on the crystal horn on its head. The Qilin neighed, raised its front hooves, and then stomped on the ground.

As it moved, a blazing bolt of lightning struck down with a loud bang.

Gordon, who had fought with Qilin before, certainly knew that there would be some signs before the thunder summoned by Qilin fell.

While inducing thunder in the clouds, Qilin will inject electric current into the ground, forming an electric field at the target location, attracting the lightning to accurately attack the target.

As long as you dodge in time when the electric field appears and get out of the coverage of the electric field, you can avoid being directly hit by lightning.

"Boom!"

A huge lightning bolt blew a big hole where the hunter had been standing before, and the aftermath of the electric arc spread out in all directions, covering it.

Fortunately, he was prepared.

The decorative beads inlaid on the armor and the lightning-resistant stone worn around the neck emitted a faint light at the same time, dissolving the aftermath of the electric current, and Gordon was not harmed.

But the violent desire to attack in his heart became even more intense.

The roar that kept echoing in his mind seemed to be questioning him, the enemy had already attacked, why didn't he fight back?
It's no match for you! Kill it! Let it see how powerful you are!

Gordon grinned, still with no intention of drawing the sword, but instead pulled down his visor.

The switch in the subconscious was turned on, and the roar in the mind and the desire to tear apart and devour everything suddenly became stronger.

Gordon subconsciously reached out to grasp the hilt of the sword, but stopped the movement abruptly in an instant.

He even had the thought of teasing the remaining soul of Nergigante (Nergigante's domineering power).

If you ask me to attack, I will attack? Wouldn't that make me lose face?
If I don't take action, will it be very uncomfortable?
The roar in his mind became more and more violent, but it could not influence Gordon's will. That subtle influence, once he became aware of it, no longer had any effect.

Suddenly, the roar stopped, and the [Mad Mark] seemed to have lost its soul, becoming cold and dim, and the ability of the armor to protect it was also significantly weakened.

"Haha, you're just throwing a tantrum." Gordon didn't care and didn't let his guard down.

The Qilin jumped down from the top of the cliff and came in front of the hunter.

Its head was lowered, its horn pointed forward, and its limbs were paddling, ready to attack.

The next second, it turned into a lightning-fast afterimage and rushed out.

Qilin is not an ordinary monster. If it rolls and dodges rashly at this time, it will inevitably fall into a passive position in the subsequent pursuit.

Drawing the sword to fight back is the only option.

At the moment when the horn wrapped in lightning was approaching, Gordon drew out the Inscription Sword and slashed down.

At the moment he drew his sword, a scarlet flame rose from the [Crazy Pattern] armor, followed by a violent roar that could be vaguely heard by even Pig Chop and the others not far away.

The roar was not an illusion. The [Crazy Pattern] armor that had pretended to be silent was fully activated.

It seemed as if endless wild power was pouring into Gordon's body. He laughed and swung down the sword, and the sword body collided with the thunder horn with a loud bang.

The roaring Nergigante swung its giant claws at the Qilin, forcibly interrupting its charge and smashing its head to the side.

The arrogant [Crazy Mark] was about to drink the blood of the ancient dragon, but Gordon had already put away his sword again.

The sword he swung down earlier was struck with the back of the sword.
