Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1379 Retreat

Gordon chose the largest and strongest dragon among the ones summoned by Pig Chop and rode on it.

Even though he was as careful as possible, he still almost failed to pin the poor thief dragon to its knees.

"Come on, you're a fierce beast in the forest." Gordon patted the thief dragon on the back.

The thief dragon's limbs were trembling, and it was unclear whether it was because of the pressure or the fear from the aura emitted by Gordon.

"Pitiful."

"Maybe I need to call the Great Thief Dragon to help you lead meow."

"Can you call him over?" Gordon asked in surprise.

"No meow." Pig Chop had a look on his face that said "you wish for it".

"The Great Thief Dragon is the leader of the Thief Dragon clan, the uncontrollable meow."

"What a pity! It would be better if the thief dragons had a higher IQ." Gordon sighed, "Then we could force them to obey."

"Don't think everything looks like a nail just because you have a hammer," Alva complained unhappily.

Gordon shrugged and said nothing.

"Are you ready, meow? Ready to go, meow!"

Pig Chop also jumped onto the back of a thief dragon and shouted to the two, "No need to control it meow, just hold on to your limbs meow, and let the thief dragon run by itself meow."

Alva quickly clamped his legs together to stabilize himself.

Gordon also grabbed the spines on the back of the thief dragon that looked sharp but were actually soft, which scared the poor thief dragon.

"Dudu-"

Pig Chop blew the whistle, and the thief dragon under him received the signal and started running immediately.

Several other thief dragons followed closely behind.

"Oh oh oh! Even though it's twisting and turning unsteadily, it's so fast!" Alva exclaimed.

The thief dragon that Gordon was riding naturally fell behind. Gordon had a gloomy face and kicked the ground with his curled legs from time to time, trying to speed up the thief dragon in this way.

Unfortunately, it had no effect and almost made the thief dragon lose its balance.

Two people and a cat rode the thief dragon through the dense forest.

After the initial excitement, Alva continued his work.

While observing the surrounding terrain, he recorded the information in a notebook using simple symbols that only he could understand, and then organized it into a map.

Gradually, Gordon discovered something was wrong. "There's something wrong with the direction they're heading."

"Are you saying that they take a circuitous route? That's normal." Alva was doing two things at once, observing the environment and saying, "Wild animals rarely move in a straight line, especially in an area with complex terrain like this. They should be following a certain animal trail."

"That's what I want to say. Looking at the size of this beast path, it should be a route that large monsters often take. If we continue walking like this, we will almost certainly encounter some large monster.

I have already seen traces left by the beast dragon species and the bird dragon species."

Gordon's words made Alva a little nervous. "Do we need to change the route or stop riding?"

"Not yet. I'm a little curious about where they want to take us." Gordon's smile was a little dangerous.

"Hey, hunter."

"Don't you want to see it with your own eyes? What is the difference between the monsters in the forest on this island and those in the ancient tree forest?"

"think"

"Oh, scholar."

Pork Chop covered his ears.

What it missed were the times when it and Yu Zi rode on the thief dragon and roamed in the ancient tree forest, instead of running on the dangerous animal trail and listening to two men in their thirties bickering.

It's meow!
Nearly half an hour passed like this, and the thieves' pace gradually slowed down, their movements became cautious, and finally they stopped and circled uneasily in place.

Zhuchop turned his head and lowered his voice, "It's right in front of us, meow. I smell the scent of a large monster, meow. It's a theropod, probably a Brute Jaw Dragon, meow."

"It can't be a Tyrannosaurus Rex." Gordon joked and got off the Tyrannosaurus Rex that was almost exhausted to death.

He gestured for Alva to take cover.

Alva found a bush and crawled into it, blending in without any trace of flaws.

Gordon walked forward confidently, pushed aside the vines, and passed through several large trees that blocked his view. The figure of a giant beast appeared in his sight.

"Slay the dragon?"

Gordon was slightly surprised.

Compared to the Brute Jaw Dragon, which is known as the "forest thug", although the Scylla can also appear in forest areas, more sightings are recorded in deserts or wastelands.

In all the years since he came to the New World, he has never encountered a dragon-slaying creature in the forest.

He kicked the tree trunk beside him to make some noise.

Zhanlong, who was sharpening the blade tail on a huge moss-covered bluestone, turned around vigilantly.

Gordon didn't plan to hunt the dragon, but he planned to drive it away.

After all, they were busy mapping the area around here, and there was a large, aggressive, rampaging beast dragon hanging around nearby.

Whether it is dangerous or not is another matter, but it is always a hindrance.

"Roar-!"

Sure enough, as soon as he discovered Gordon, the uninvited guest, the hot-tempered Zhanlong roared, took big strides and rushed towards him.

Gordon removed some of the restrictions on [Mad Mark] and released a trace of aura, hoping to scare the dragon away.

In the past two days, he used this method to scare away a poisonous bird and a flying thunder dragon.

However, the same method doesn't seem to be so effective when used on Zhanlong.

Zhanlong stopped but did not turn around and leave. Instead, he lowered his body and let out a series of low, muffled roars.

Hot sparks gushed out of its huge mouth - it was enraged.

"I knew it. As expected, he's the guy with a tail that looks like a sword."

Gordon muttered quietly, "You're just like Hayata, you only respond to soft words and not hard words, right? I'm sorry."

As he spoke, Gordon pulled out his secret weapon from his bag.

It was a thing slightly smaller than a fist, brown in color, and looked similar to a stink bomb, with similar actual functions.

The professor got it from the alchemist, and it is said to be much more effective than regular stink bombs.

The stink bomb is filled with foul-smelling monster feces.

The throwing tool named "retreat bomb" by the professor contains the extremely smelly monster feces essence that has been repeatedly refined and concentrated by the alchemist with superb alchemy skills.
The alchemist didn't even dare to make this thing into a catapult ammunition, for fear that the overly strong spring would break it when the catapult was fired.

According to her, the contents inside could kill you if they got on you.
"Good luck." Gordon threw the retreat bomb out with force.

The precise hit hit the head of the rapidly approaching Zhanlong, and the unpleasant misty liquid contents splashed all over Zhanlong's face.

A sickening stench spread and Gordon immediately held his breath.

In the jungle behind him, there was the sound of Pig Chop retching. To Elu, who had a keen sense of smell, the smell of this thing was simply torture.

The same goes for Dragon Slayer.

The furious dragon-slaying beast almost jumped up, howled miserably, shook its head like a madman, and stumbled away.

"Tsk tsk, it's so powerful, this thing can even scare away an ancient dragon."

at the same time.

Covered with ice and snow, like the high peaks of the polar snow-capped mountains.

A gigantic dragon opened its huge mouth and roared with terrifying force, shaking the glacier.

“Roar, ahh ...

After the roar, the fierce dragon chariot came towards them, and the hunters rolled sideways to avoid the attack.

Nadia quickly stood up and took out the retreat bomb. The Rumble Dragon turned around and dug its claws into the ice-covered ground and lifted it up with force.

Chunks of ice and rock came like cannonballs.

"So irritable."

Nadia had no choice but to dive again to avoid the attack.

The ice rock passed over her head and smashed into pieces on a huge rock in the distance. Ai Bo, who was hiding behind the rock, was startled and let out a light cry.

Faced with the fierce dragon that kept roaring, it launched the dragon chariot again.

Hayata drew his sword and said, "We don't have many retreat bullets, let's save them first. Let's test the quality of the 'Absolute Strongest' in the Demon Gathering Land."
