Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1330: Cold Refined
"That's awesome."

Gordon's admiration this time was truly sincere.

The leader of the second group raised his chin, his face full of pride, "To be honest, the actual attack effect of the cold energy is better than we expected.

In our original conception, the unique coldness of [Avalanche] would add frost damage to the user's weapon, and this was indeed achieved."

The leader of the second group pointed to the frost-covered wood on the ground and continued:
“But after the completion of [Avalanche] and actual testing, we found that the frost effect caused by the cold-wrapped blade was not the key.

The key lies in the extremely sharp ice coating, which can greatly enhance the power of the weapon itself.

Hayata should have realized this just now."

"Hmm." Hayata stroked the plating on the blade.

“This layer of ice is very hard and brittle, and the extremely sharp ice blade will break when it hits the target, forming a sawtooth-like structure.

Even the cross-section remains extremely sharp, which may be the reason why the attack power is enhanced.

If this is the case, the effect of the cold air refining is not only effective against monsters with weak ice resistance, this is physical damage.

Even if I am not using this ice sword, but a weapon without attributes or even a weapon with other attributes, [Avalanche] can still provide a very amazing power bonus.

In other words, this is actually a very versatile set of armor."

"It makes me excited." Gordon rubbed his chin.

The leader of the second group shook his head and said, "The effect of the cold energy is physical, so it should be suitable for the greatsword. It's just that the materials of the Ice Curse Dragon are not enough to build two sets of armor. What a pity."

"Gordon, if you are interested, you can try on Hayata's Avalanche." Isana laughed, "If you feel embarrassed, you can try it secretly where we can't see you."

"Ah, the dress made of the Ice Dragon's wing membrane has limited elasticity and will tear." Mrs. Sterling answered seriously for some reason.

Gordon's mouth twitched fiercely. "If I really want to try, I would rather hunt another Ice Curse Dragon."

After the joke, Gordon said to Hayata: “The effect of this cold energy is extraordinary. This set of [Avalanche] can replace [Tenglong] and become your main defensive gear.

However, if you want to use this set of armor, your fighting style will need to change."

Hayata nodded, "Cold Qi Refining needs to be combined with the Sword Drawing Style to maximize its effect.

After equipping this set of armor, it will no longer be appropriate to use the previous continuous attacking style of combat, and you may need to return to the shortstop position. "

This was not difficult for her. The so-called sword-drawing style was one of the most basic fighting styles of katana users.

As for the division of labor within the team, there is no need to make any deliberate adjustments.

Her position in the team has always been jumping back and forth between shortstop and attacker.

What the Silver Edge lacks is not lacking in offense.
"We are going to defeat that 'great being' in a few days. Do you plan to use the original [Tamron] or change to the new [Avalanche]?" Gordon asked a very crucial question.

Hayata seemed a little hesitant.

If she had been asked this question an hour ago, she would have chosen Tamron without hesitation.

But now after trying it out, I find the cold energy effect of [Avalanche] so hard to give up.
Seeing that Hayata had been struggling for a long time, Gordon gave a suggestion, "I think, use [Avalanche]. [Tenglong] is good, but it emphasizes offense too much. [Avalanche] at least has a spirit protection.

This time, three teams are fighting together, and the heavy crossbow team is also involved, so there is no lack of offensiveness.

The opponent is a completely unknown mysterious creature, and its abilities are completely unknown. With the protection of the spirits, it is a little bit safer. "

At this point, Gordon shamelessly said to the leader of the second group: “By the way, leader, can you please make another protective stone?

The protection of the stone is combined with the protection of the spirit of [Avalanche] itself, so it is safer. "

The old craftsman looked helpless, but finally agreed.

"Hayata's contribution to the investigation team is worthy of the 'Certificate of Courage'. Consider it a gift for your promotion to eight stars."

Hayata sincerely thanked the leader of the second group.

After thinking it over carefully, he said, "Then I'll use [Avalanche] for my armor, but I'll still use the Scythe of Inscriptions as my weapon, which has superior sharpness and destructive power.

Anyway, the effect of cold energy refining is not picky about weapon attributes. "

"Take the [Ice Blade] with you. Maybe the 'Great Being' is weak to ice. Use the Ice Blade and your [Avalanche] to chop it down!" Gordon said with a smile.

Hayata rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Where are the 'just right'?"

The transformation of the large airship went very smoothly.

The day of departure arrived as expected.

There was still a little time before gathering and departure, and the fully armed hunters came to the weapons and cat mountain pavilion one after another.

Before setting out on a mission, almost all hunters would go to a restaurant or tavern to have a good, nutritious cat meal.

Of course, meatballs are eaten or drinks are drunk in some places.

Feng Ying ordered a lot of main dishes, ready to eat until she was full. She held the knife and fork in her hand, looking at the busy cat chefs with anticipation on her face.

Gordon, who was sitting across the table, suddenly laughed out loud.

Feng Ying thought Gordon was laughing at her, but she soon realized that he was not laughing. She turned her head and followed his gaze, and immediately started laughing too.

Ansher and Gail came together.

Each of them was wearing gorgeous and dazzling Huihuilong armor that seemed to be made of pure gold. When the sun shone on it, the reflected light was so bright that people could not open their eyes.

Ansher, wearing a black and gold cloak, had a stern expression on his face, and exuded an aura that made people afraid to approach him, and he looked so noble.

However, there was something wrong with the thing next to him.

The protective gear is good and her figure is indeed good. Although her walking posture is not graceful, it can be described as walking like a tiger or a dragon, which does give her a unique aura.

But all this was ruined by the mask of the Strange-faced Tribe, and even Ansher's painting style became harmonious.

"morning!"

Gail came to the table and waved his hand, greeting his friends in high spirits.

Ansher shook the back of his cloak and sat down at the table with an expressionless face.

They were quite eye-catching along the way.

Almost everyone's reaction was the same, first "Wow!", then "Hahahaha!".

This made Master Anshil, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, feel uncomfortable all over.

But could he force Gale to take off the mask?

It seems impossible. Not to mention that her head is on her own neck, she won't listen to anything others say.

Let’s talk about the origin of this mask. It was given to Gail by her “family” and she regards it as a precious amulet.

There are many hunters who carry all kinds of strange amulets with them. He seems to be unreasonable to ask others to take them off because they are "ugly".
I can only endure it.

At least, it's a little better than the "Maomao First Generation 2", right?
She sat down next to Hayata and Fengying, laughing and joking. The wine and meat had been served. In order to make it easier to eat, Gail finally took off her strange-faced helmet.

Suddenly, the whole demeanor of the person changed, and Anhil's face looked better.

Feng Ying looked at the golden [Elite·Brilliant Dragon] on Gail and Ansil, and then looked at Hayata's [Avalanche] which was just as gorgeous, or even more gorgeous.

He lowered his voice and asked Gordon, "Master Gordon, shouldn't we also get a set of fancy equipment?"

Gordon glanced at her sideways, "What are you thinking about? Eat!"
