Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1341 Transparent Attack

After taking some time to drink medicine and simply polishing her weapon, Feng Ying returned to the battle.

She chose to attack near the monster's hind legs and waist.

This place is relatively safe, so there is no need to worry about disrupting the rhythm of your companions' frontal attack. If all goes well, it can also distract the monsters and create loopholes. It is the safest choice.

Gene had much the same idea as her.

Seeing that this position had been "occupied", he curled his lips, dragged the sledgehammer to gather strength, and moved around to the other side of the monster's hind leg.

There's no one around, great!
Gene took aim, used himself as the axis, and swung the hammer with a strange cry.

"Uh oh oh oh!"

Spin attack!

On the other side, Feng Ying was not willing to be outdone. She inserted her sword into her shield and started the high-pressure backfill mode.

The axe blade spun at high speed, turning into a blurry light and shadow.

She swung the long-handled axe with all her strength. The axe was much longer than her entire body, and kept sawing at the waist and hind legs of the mysterious ancient dragon.

However, the carapace on the hind legs is quite thick, so the attack effect is not very good.

Just as Feng Ying was hesitating and preparing to attack from another place, Hayata ran past her.

As a shortstop, Hayata kept repeating the steps of drawing the sword to attack, sheathing the sword and transferring it, while also testing the texture of the mysterious ancient dragon's flesh.

After several tentative attacks, she had reached a rough conclusion.

"The meat in the front half is softer, but the hind legs and tail are very hard." Hayata reminded loudly.

Feng Ying immediately stopped swinging her axe, and Gene ended the spinning attack with a vertical smash.

The two men ran towards the mysterious ancient dragon's front claws at the same time, one locking onto one side.

It can be seen that the monster in front of us is more accustomed to using its front paws to attack, so this position would be more dangerous.

But high risks also bring high rewards. With these two heavy weapon swordsmen stuck here, it will be much easier for Gordon to attack the monster's head head-on.

Seeing that the monster's front paws were restrained by his descendants, Gordon immediately intensified his attack.

Locking onto the monster's head, powerful slashes were continuously released. In a blink of an eye, several bloody wounds appeared on the mysterious monster's head.

“Gah gah gah——!”

With an angry cry, the mysterious ancient dragon took a small step back and folded its strangely structured wings in front of its body.

"Be careful!" Ansel warned loudly.

Gordon stopped his attack as soon as the mysterious ancient dragon jumped back, put away his weapons, and started running.

Their judgment was indeed correct.

The tentacles formed from the alienated wing bones gathered in a circle in front of the mysterious ancient dragon. Under the ultra-high frequency vibration, the air in front of it became distorted and blurred.

After a very short preparation time, the distortion in the air turned into a fuzzy air column that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and shot forward.

The mysterious ancient dragon itself was also constantly retreating while blasting out the air column to dissipate the impact of the recoil.

Gordon, who was running wildly, fell to the ground at the last moment, trying to stay as far away from the seemingly insignificant air column as possible.

He successfully avoided the attack, and a column of air with a diameter of several meters hit a huge rock cliff tens of meters high in the distance.

The cliff collapsed and shattered in an instant, turning into rubble of all sizes on the ground.

Even Gordon, who had fought against many ancient dragons, couldn't help but be amazed by the power of this seemingly air column, which was actually some kind of vibration attack.

There are many ancient dragon species that can shatter rocks with their breath, such as the Storm Dragon, the Sky Comet Dragon, the Dark Lantern Dragon, and so on.

But this is the first time I have seen someone shatter a cliff tens of meters high in the blink of an eye.

If you get hit head-on by this attack, the outcome is obvious. If you take death as the standard, the power is too much...

However, from another perspective, isn't this an opportunity?
It is true that the power of the air column bombardment is amazing, but the flaws are also very large.

In order to maintain the attack and deal with the powerful recoil, the mysterious ancient dragon was almost completely unable to move during the attack.

Feng Ying and the others, who also have rich combat experience, would not miss such a good opportunity.

As the attack began, Feng Ying inserted the sword into the shield at the fastest speed.

She even intentionally used some of the impact of the aftermath of the air column attack. After a precise defense, she immediately swung the giant axe surrounded by lightning at the monster's wings and head.

"Super! Solution!"

On the other side, Gene really wanted to take this opportunity to ascend to the dragon's throne and use his air blade to cut the monster hard.

But he held a sledgehammer in his hand...
But the sledgehammer also has its own way!
Gene aimed at the mysterious ancient dragon's slender front claws, swung the sledgehammer and smashed it with all his strength. He then continued to move, using inertia to smash it three times in a row, and finally turned around and swung the sledgehammer in a circle, ending with the most powerful blow he had ever dealt.

This is the hammer combo that many hunters jokingly call the "five-hit combo of rice cake".

The name isn't nice, but its power is definitely trustworthy.

The mysterious ancient dragon had just finished its attack and was staggering after being hit by Feng Ying's full-power super attack. Its paws were hit hard again, and its front paws subconsciously retracted, causing it to almost lose its balance and fall to the ground.

Hayata kept moving around, looking for opportunities to attack, seizing the opportunity, slipping in, and coming to the side of the mysterious ancient dragon's head.

After drawing the sword and slashing it vertically, he immediately thrust it with an air blade, then took advantage of the momentum to leap high up, and slashed down with the ice sword that was entangled with cold air and sword energy.

Air blade cuts!

The sword struck with great force, and the ice covering the blade shattered layer by layer. Cold air continued to burst out, cutting a huge wound from the back of the monster's head to the base of its neck.

After suffering a series of heavy blows, the mysterious ancient dragon howled in pain and stood up backward.

The hunters were excited and were about to continue the pursuit when the mysterious ancient dragon suddenly spread its wings.

Those tentacles like dead vines hung down.

Following a roar, a column of blurry air shot out from the end of each wing, and swept around in disorder as the tentacles swayed.

"F*ck! Dodge!" Gordon couldn't help but swear.

The diameter of these air columns is less than one meter, and in terms of absolute power, they are far less than the one that just shattered the cliff.

However, compared to a single powerful straight-line attack, eight random sweeps with no pattern to follow posed a much greater threat to them.

The hunters fled in panic.

Being hit by such an attack, even if it is not fatal, it will definitely cause serious damage.

To protect yourself from such an attack, reaction speed and dodging skills are one aspect, but luck is also crucial.

Gene, whose fortune is always up and down, is obviously not very lucky today.

He had just rolled over to avoid two air columns that were sweeping at him at an angle, and before he could even stand up, another air column came at him from the front.

Gene had no time to react, so he gritted his teeth, flexed his body and held the sledgehammer in front of him, praying that he would not be hurt too badly.
Feng Ying used Kinsect to approach and tried to rescue her companion, but the air column that she had just dodged changed direction and attacked her again.

Feng Ying was flying in the air and barely managed to lift her shield before being knocked away.

Protected by the shield, she was not seriously injured, but she also lost the opportunity to rescue Gene.

Just as Gene was about to be hit by the air column, another figure rushed over with a roar.

Ted carried a large shield and stood in front of Gene.

The air column swept across the shield, and the powerful impact pushed Ted back half a meter. Under the high-frequency vibration, his right arm, which was holding the shield, felt numb and painful.

But he managed to withstand the blow.

"Brother Ted!"

"Hey, it's okay!" Ted turned around and bared his teeth at Gene, "It doesn't hurt at this level!"

The mysterious ancient dragon's shooting continued.

A flying claw locked onto its face, and Maka flew up.

She used her legs and right hand to stabilize her body, and waved her steel claws with her left hand, grabbing the wound on the mysterious ancient dragon's head hard, forcibly interrupting the latter's sweeping attack.

"How long are you going to sweep this shit up!?"

She grabbed with all her strength again, causing the mysterious ancient dragon's head to tilt, and then she placed the catapult against the monster's eye.

"Fire all bombs!"

Ps.
　The attack of the younger brother dragon should be some kind of shock wave, but for the sake of convenience of description and understanding, it is described as an "air column", at least that's what it looks like from the perspective of the hunters.
