Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1386 A healthy angel?

The blue-black giant beast walked onto the beach with tired steps.

Blood was flowing from the wounds that would never heal. The high body temperature and the energy consumed by the long journey across the sea made it extremely hungry and weak.

A creature like Tyrannosaurus Rex has almost no so-called "fat". In order to maintain basic body functions, it has begun to digest its own muscles.

This makes it, which should be as strong as a mountain of muscle, look exceptionally thin, even skin and bones.

If this continues, in just a few days at most, this powerful creature that can compete with the ancient dragons will be exhausted by its own excessive metabolic capacity.

At this moment, a hint of the stench of blood entered its nostrils.

A hint of red light flashed in the cloudy and dim eyes that had completely lost their sanity.

It's food!
"Roar--!"

High-intensity dragon-attribute energy dissipated, and the excited roar suppressed the sound of waves hitting the rocks.

Highly corrosive saliva mixed with stomach acid flowed all over the ground, and the evil beast that wanted to devour everything crashed into the dense forest full of vitality before it.

"Tsk, how can it be so thin?" Feng Ying smacked her lips and put down the telescope, "This Tyrannosaurus Rex failed to hunt and was killed by other monsters.

Should we go get some food for it so it can recover its strength first?"

Gordon looked strange. "You're actually worried that the Tyrannosaurus Rex won't be able to hunt for food? As long as it has a breath left, it can easily bite off the neck of the male Rathalos.

Not to mention that this guy looks like a special individual who has lived to a certain age, so his aggressiveness is no joke.”

The professor stroked his beard and took over the conversation happily, "The metabolic capacity of ordinary Tyrannosaurus Rex is terrifying enough, not to mention the raging individuals that have survived against hunger.

There is no shortage of "food" in the Demon Gathering Land. Believe it or not, it will take less than a week for it to return to its normal size.

In ten days at most, its muscles will swell to the point where their skin will burst, and by then, its weight will be twice what it is now.

With sufficient food supply, the Tyrannosaurus Rex in its prime state can bite off a few pieces of meat even if it encounters an ancient dragon.

If the opponent is of a weaker species, it is not impossible to win the battle.

According to the data from the Ancient Dragon Observatory, there are very few cases of ancient dragons being killed by Tyrannosaurus Rex, but it is not completely unheard of."

"So we don't have to worry about that Tyrannosaurus and just let it eat to its heart's content, right?" Feng Ying picked up her crab claws again.

"We can't just ignore it. We have to at least understand where it's moving."

Gordon looked in the direction where the Tyrannosaurus disappeared, "If necessary, we can even actively lure it to a certain area and let it help us destroy the ecology of that area.

It will keep eating as long as there is prey in the nearby area.

It is much more efficient than us who get tired and need to rest.”

"Moreover, once the Dragon King wakes up, it can share our hatred." Ansir said with a smile: "A rampaging and angry Tyrannosaurus Rex is much more conspicuous than us.

This is the first time I think that the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which has the bad reputation of being a gluttonous devil, is actually quite cute. "

Julius, who was standing by, also had a smile on his face, "Leave the task of tracking and luring the Tyrannosaurus to us.

These are exactly what we are good at writing.”

The professor shook his head and said, "We are short of manpower right now. If we just want to track the Devil Rex and confirm its whereabouts, there is no need for you to go.

The Pen Team continued with their original mission. As for the Tyrannosaurus Gordon, I remember that the hunting cat in your team is quite powerful, right?
Are they up to the job?"

"of course."

Gordon pointed at Xianglan who was trying to break the crab legs off the sea crab and said, "It's enough for one person. It would be a waste of combat power to let Pork Chop follow."

"Hot meow——!"

Burned by the scalding crab shell, Xianglan screamed and jumped up, licking the scalding red meat pad with tears in her eyes.

Hayata walked over helplessly and helped it break off the crab legs.

".Is it really reliable?"

The professor's impression of this silver Elu is only that it is "a rival of Fengying" and "greedy", and he seems a little worried.

Gordon's smile was also a little awkward. "Don't look at it like that. It has also received a full set of secret team training. It is actually very good at this kind of work."

"Okay, let it take the insect trap and set off as soon as possible. If the Deviljhodon runs too far, we might lose it."

Gordon nodded and shouted, "Xianglan! Come here!"

"Meow?" Holding the crab leg that was half as long as herself, Xianglan turned her head in confusion.

"Hurry up and finish your meal. You've been slacking off for the past few days. It's time I assigned you some work to do."

Gordon waved his hand and said, "Go catch up with that Tyrannosaurus Rex, keep following it, record its movements, and remember to come back and report every night."

"Meow meow meow?!"

The other side of the continent.

The battle to hunt the black wolf bird went very smoothly.

In order to avoid damaging the material too much, the two light crossbowmen deliberately avoided key parts such as the head and wings, and focused their fire on the legs throughout the process, knocking it down repeatedly.

Then Maca, the insect stick, took action and smashed its cervical vertebrae.

Thanks to their carefulness, the key materials were preserved intact.

The nightmare scene in which Oshula fought five peach-haired beast kings for a set of armor did not happen again.

The materials for the Black Feather Crossbow were successfully collected.

After a day and night of flying, the three returned to the Star Base with the materials.

Gale was still trying to persuade Oshura, "These materials must be enough to make a light crossbow, are you really not going to consider making another one?

The Black Wolf Bird's shin guard is awesome! It's super light, effectively improves your shooting accuracy (see through +2), and also has a bonus to increase the power of penetrating bullets."

Unable to bear the harassment, Oshura finally compromised.

At least they are all dark colors, and the edge parts are like shin guards, so the combination is not too abrupt.

The enhanced protection from penetrating bullets also expands her tactical options. At worst, she can just make the Dragon Shattering Leggings and use them interchangeably depending on the situation.

The three of them came to the processing house chatting and laughing, placed the order, and were about to go to Mao Shan Ting for a good drink when they met Ted who had been waiting there for a long time.

Just as Gale was about to make a joke, Ted stood up and spoke first, "We got a letter from the Special Investigation Team saying they need manpower support.

The Commander-in-Chief asked us how we were preparing, what do you think? "

The smile on Gail’s face faded and she frowned, “Maka and I are of course fine, but you and Oshura’s costume change isn’t complete yet.

I just hunted the simplest Black Wolf Bird today, as well as the Broken Dragon and the Red Lotus Explosive Scale Dragon. Besides, it takes time to forge equipment.

Isn't it too risky to just go there like this?"

Ted seemed a little excited, "I thought so at first, but the letter from there said that they found a great place called 'Demon Gathering Land' where there are many powerful monsters.

There have been sightings of both Shattering Dragon and Exploding Scale Dragon, maybe there are some special individuals as well!

I was thinking that maybe we could go there first and help while collecting materials.

After gathering all the materials, use pterosaurs to send them back to the stars and have the processing shop speed up the production. When they are done, use the airship that delivers supplies to transport them over!
Wouldn't this save us from running back and forth?"

Maka squinted at him, "I think you just can't settle down?"

Ted didn't care about being hit on the head. He shouted, "It's an island full of powerful monsters! I heard Gordon and his men have hunted dozens of them!

So are you going or not? "

".go!"

Ps.
　Some readers said that since the Demon Gathering Land has been opened, the cute baby can be reproduced, so I think it’s better to forget it - the birth of this monster is too unexpected, and there are enough descriptions, so it would be a bit cumbersome to do it again.

　　Also, a reader mentioned another set of equipment suitable for Ted, which really makes me think it is quite suitable.
