Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1375: I have the guts to go bare-handed!
While the top hunters of Xingchen were discussing the plan to change their outfits.

The survey team's "Blue Star" has arrived at the northeast corner of the continent along the coastline.

Since that resonance, Feng Ying has never had any "sensation" again.

This made her feel both regretful and fortunate.

Although I missed out on the great credit of leading everyone to the goal, that kind of approach of strengthening resonance... Oh my god, I'm afraid I'll starve to death before I find the goal?
[Crazy Mark], which Gordon had high hopes for, had not responded at all.

After discussion, professors and other scholars believed that the goal should be to enter that half-sleep and half-wakeful cycle.

When you wake up, the resonance with Feng Ying will deepen, and after you fall asleep, the induction will be disconnected.

Many ancient dragon species go through a similar cycle before awakening from their long slumber, which may last for weeks, months, or even years.

Many monsters with keen perception can sense the aura emitted by the ancient dragon when it awakens.

As a result, they will become agitated and panicked, leave their original habitats, and migrate randomly, destroying the originally stable ecological distribution, thus triggering a series of chaos.

The so-called unrest caused by ancient dragons is often like this.

When the two "compasses" Fengying and [Crazy Pattern] were ineffective, the investigation team could only choose the dumbest, most time-consuming, and most direct search method.

——Carpet search.

The Blue Star first came to the vicinity of the Dragon Crystal Land, the entrance to the Earth Vein Corridor, which was the location where the Dark Lantern Dragon was discovered that year, and stopped briefly.

The hunters went deep into the earth vein corridor, came to the place where the earth veins converged, and investigated the situation of the corpse of the Dark Lantern Dragon.

The terrifying situation of "the body disappeared" did not happen.

If we have to say something is abnormal, there is - the number of crystals in the cave has not increased, but has decreased a lot.

According to previous predictions by scholars, after the death of the absorber, the Dark Lantern Dragon, the energy gathered from the earth veins would accumulate in surplus.

The corpse of the Dark Dragon itself also emits high concentrations of energy.

Adding the two together, a closed environment should condense more crystals.

Looking at the huge corpse that had turned into bones in the empty cave, the professor was silent for a long time.

“Energy doesn’t just disappear.”

He said to himself, "It will just flow somewhere else."

"what did you say?"

"Who took over this energy feast that came along the earth veins? It's not hard to guess who it was. Let's go. Our target is not here."

After leaving a bunch of photos, the professor led the investigation team back to the Blue Star.

They will set out again, heading towards the open sea, searching back and forth, looking for that "abnormal place" that no one knows what it is.

on the deck.

Feng Ying held a wooden barrel lid in her right hand and a broom in her left hand, ready for battle.

Opposite her was Aiden, holding a pot lid and a fire poker.

"cough."

Isana, who was standing in the middle and acting as the referee, had a stern face and said, "Let me emphasize the rules. Attacking vital points is prohibited. Anyone who goes out of bounds will be declared the loser.

Do you two understand?"

Feng Ying and Aiden nodded at the same time.

"Well, let's start!" Isana waved her arms and quickly retreated to the sidelines.

"Contestant Feng Ying took the initiative to charge! She's very fast, like a unicorn!"

"Contestant Aiden managed to stay calm in the face of change. He slid to avoid the attack! He then swung his sword and attacked Contestant Fengying's back!"

"Oh! Feng Ying still has some strength left! So a charge at this speed was just a feint? She raised her shield to block the attack and pushed Aiden back!

She is so strong! Aiden lost his balance and she took advantage of the situation to chase him! "

"Contestant Aiden rolled over to avoid the attack. Ooooh! Rolling knife! He took advantage of the situation to attack contestant Fengying's lower body!
Feng Ying was unable to react and was hit in the calf! Aiden scored the first point! "

Outside the court, Gordon, who was watching the game with his arms folded, twitched his mouth.

It looks like we're going to lose again.
Similar duels have been held no less than twenty times in the past few days.

From just playing around in the beginning to later setting up rules, designating the venue, and even inviting Isana to be the referee and commentator.

At first, Gordon and the others just smiled, glanced and walked away.

But as the fighting became more "professionalized", those who had too much free time were also attracted to it.

Gordon was watching, and so was Julius.

The fight at this moment is no longer a duel between Feng Ying and Aiden, but also a contest between Yinbian and Bitou!

Well, not really.

It was just a contest between two brothers who were too proud to participate in the competition themselves.

A few minutes later, Feng Ying was defeated by Aiden again.

I wasn't knocked down, I just fell behind by a large margin in points.
"The winner is, Aiden!" Isana raised Aiden's arm and shouted.

Hayata and the others laughed and clapped, Aiden was very happy, but Feng Ying had a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Why can't the barrel lid and the broom be untied! This is not fair!" Feng Ying cursed.

Gordon on the sidelines smacked his lips, but didn't blame Feng Ying.

Even though both of them use sword and shield, the shield axe and the one-handed sword are two completely different styles of weapons.

The heavy weapons swordsman's moves were not meant to be used against humans, so Feng Ying and Aiden were at a disadvantage.

If he were to go on the field himself, Aiden would definitely not be able to beat him. He would have to withstand two attacks and find a flaw, then he could throw him out of the field with his shield.

But Julius can definitely suppress himself so much that no one can touch him, unless.
"Hey! Julius, why don't we try it too?" Gordon shouted.

Julius raised his eyebrows and looked over. "Are you serious?"

"I can't find anything that can be used as a great sword, so let's fight with our bare hands!"

"Get out!" Julius' face turned black.

Only a psycho would fight with someone like you!
"Hehehe, see? He's scared." Gordon said to Feng Ying with a smile.

Feng Ying's eyes lit up, and she turned around to look at Aiden who was looking happy, "Let's try it with our bare hands!"

"I don't!" Aiden shook his head frantically without even thinking.

Are you kidding me? Although this guy is small, he can wrestle with the leader.

"Ahahaha! Are you scared?" Feng Ying laughed, and all the confusion of previous defeat was swept away.

You just took advantage of the variety of weapons, do you have the guts to do it with your bare hands?
Julius was almost laughing at the master and disciple's spiritual victory, and he would not be fooled.

At this time, Anxier said: “I am tired of watching Fengying Aiden’s duel. In fact, there can be a higher quality duel.

Julius, how about a fight with Hayata?"

Hayata on the sidelines was stunned. He didn't expect that the fire would burn him.

Julius was also stunned.

Back when they were in the brigade, the two of them had fought each other. Or perhaps it couldn't be considered a fight, as he was much stronger than Hayata at that time. It was more like instruction than a fight.

But now, it’s hard to say.

Besides being a hunter, he is also a guild knight, and he usually participates in various sword training and competitions.

Even those guys in Dark Night who specialized in killing skills, no one dared to say that they could definitely beat him in a one-on-one duel.

The same goes for Hayata.

Other hunters may not have this habit, but sword masters often compete with each other in "Kendo".

This "training method" is very effective in developing reaction speed and flexible footwork.

In the years since coming to the New World, Hayata has practiced with sword masters a lot. From the initial bruises to the later back-and-forth, the two are evenly matched.
"Oh oh oh!"

Feng Ying and Aiden were so excited that they rummaged around looking for a suitable "weapon".

Finally, with the help of the crew, they got two short sticks about one meter long and a sturdy long stick nearly two meters long.

The atmosphere had become so tense that the two of them had no choice but to leave.

When they arrived at the venue, the two stood facing each other.

Julius made a sword flower with his two sticks in his hands and was on full alert.

Hayata also raised his long stick, with fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Please give me more advice."
