Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1392: Live for Jie! Die for Jie! Dedicate my life for Jie!
Seeing that the golden lion failed to enter the awakening state, the hunters breathed a sigh of relief.

The awakened Golden Lion will have significant improvements in speed, strength, muscle hardness, and even the ability to exert lightning energy.

It's not to the point where the two of them can't handle it together, but it is definitely much more difficult.

"It's trying to control the energy of lightning!" Hayata said in a low voice, "Don't give it a chance to try again, charge!"

"Meow!"

The first to come to the golden lion were two hunting cats.

The mushroom that had not found an opportunity to attack before drilled out from the ground, climbed up the golden lion's arm, and climbed onto its shoulder.

"Ow—!"

The golden lion howled angrily and tried to swat it like a fly, but the mushroom was agile and jumped onto its horn first.

The golden lion's giant paw hit nothing, but instead made itself grimacing.

Mushroom's eyes sparkled as he pulled out his claw-like plundering knife and swung it continuously at the base of the big horn.

It had been eyeing these two horns for a long time. The golden lion was all black, and there didn't seem to be anything special worth attacking. Only these two big horns were the most conspicuous.

If we can dig it out, it will definitely be useful!
The golden lion was enraged. It reached up above its head with both hands, trying to catch the annoying little monster covered with spikes.

The mushroom dodged flexibly and continued digging.
Looking at this scene, Feng Ying's heart almost jumped out while charging at full speed.

Why don't you dig something else? Why dig those horns?

That is one of the Golden Lion's most powerful weapons. It is hard and sharp, and can even penetrate the shell of an ancient dragon.

Can you just dig it up? Break your looting knife into pieces!
"Roar!"

The golden lion was extremely annoyed, so he did somersaults, jumped, and shook his head vigorously.

Mushroom was unwilling to give up, and it grabbed tightly onto a few flickering hairs on the golden lion's head. It held on for a while, but was eventually thrown away.

Xianglan, who was jumping around beside the golden lion with a cat sword in her hand, turned around and ran in the direction where the mushroom was thrown away.

"I'll go check on Mushroom's injuries, meow!"

Hayata: “.”

This kid used to be quite reckless, but after becoming a healing cat and a dancing cat, he became more and more timid for some reason.

But maybe that's a good thing? They don't need any more reckless people on the team.

Hayata and Feng Ying got close to the golden lion and launched a double attack.

Feng Ying's attack was fierce and she quickly caught the Golden Lion's attention. Hayata took the opportunity to detour to the side and rear of the Golden Lion and attacked the target's hind legs.

The meat here is hard, so it's not really an excellent attack position, but the Golden Lion itself is small in size, and if you don't move away, it's easy to hurt your teammates by mistake.

And she had a simple and straightforward plan.

——Concentrated attack, severely injuring the golden lion’s left hind leg.

The golden lion's left arm was already injured by the bite of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, so it could not exert much strength. If the hind leg on the same side was also seriously injured, it would be difficult for it to maintain its balance.

Then the victory will be secured!

A considerable amount of sword energy had been accumulated during the previous offensive. Hayata raised the ice sword and aimed at the left leg joint of the golden lion.

Air blade stabs!

Feng Ying noticed Hayata's actions, switched her weapon to giant axe mode, and smashed it down on the golden lion's forehead with a powerful blow.

The previous battle made the Golden Lion quite afraid of the power of this axe.

It ignored the not-too-serious pain from its hind legs, raised its big horns to block the falling axe, and at the same time, it readied its right fist to strike hard at the hunter in front of it.

But he didn't notice that the hunter behind him had already leaped into the air.

The sword flashed, and the icy blade fell down.

Air blade cuts!

The power of this attack was not comparable to the previous air blade thrust. The golden lion's thigh was cut open, and the spurting blood was frozen into ice before it could fall to the ground by the biting cold.

"Ow—!"

The golden lion howled wildly, turned around suddenly, and swung its strong right arm behind it.

Hayata, who had hunted a golden lion alone before, knew how agile this monster was and how quick it could counterattack.

As the air blade hit her, she spun around without any hesitation and flew back several meters.

By reading the knowledge in advance, he avoided the golden lion's unexpected counterattack.

On the other side, Feng Ying aimed at the bloody hind legs of the golden lion that turned its back to her, laughed strangely, and swung the giant axe with all her strength.

"Get the hell out of it!"

The narrow blade cut by the sword was torn and enlarged by the high-speed rotating axe blade, and the ice energy accumulated in the bottle exploded.

The hind legs, which had suffered severe blows one after another, finally couldn't hold on any longer. The strength was loosened due to the violent spasms, and the golden lion staggered.

Hayata seized the opportunity and turned on courage mode.

The whole person turned into an afterimage and rushed forward. The sword energy was extremely condensed and turned into a red sword blade that cut across the wound on the Golden Lion's left arm.

The blood that froze into ice flowers fell like cherry blossoms.

Sakura Air Blade Slash.

This sword not only cut through the golden lion's flesh and blood, but also cut a deep scar on the bones of its left arm.

The golden lion could no longer maintain its balance and fell to the ground howling in pain.

"Great!"

Feng Ying cheered, disassembled her weapon and switched back to sword and shield mode, then jumped in front of the golden lion and slashed it repeatedly to charge the bottle and accumulate energy.

She super-solved three times today. The one when she tried to super-solve with a full bottle of energy and wanted to sleep, it ran out. The next two times she super-solved, either the bottle was out of stock or not full.

Feeling uncomfortable
Now, while the golden lion is lying on the ground, I have to take a full shot of the bottle!
Noticing Feng Ying's actions, Hayata felt a little helpless.

This is the case for shield axe users, but for them, accumulating super solutions is indeed the most efficient means of attack.

He swallowed a pill of super strength, turned the blade over, and sheathed it.

After the Sakura Air Blade Slash, the accumulation of sword energy had reached its limit. Hayata exhaled lightly and injected all the sword energy into the blade at once.

At the same time, the biting cold air that permeated the surface of the [Avalanche] condensed rapidly.

Under the effect of the cold air refining protection, the fragile but extremely sharp ice blade took shape again on the azure sword edge of [Ice Blade].

This was the first time she used her full strength after strengthening [Severe Ice Blade] into [Ice Spirit Blade].

Potion, fine control in the state of courage, sword energy condensed to the limit, protection made of cold air.
To paraphrase Gordon.

This is the strongest attack she has ever made since she became a hunter!
Kamui Iai!

The sword flashed, and three bleeding wounds appeared on the golden lion's head and chest almost at the same time.

The deepest sword pierced diagonally through the golden lion's chest. Through the wound, one could even faintly see the rapidly beating heart in its chest.

After completing the attack, Hayata slid out of the attacking position.

Feng Ying simultaneously filled the bottle with energy, inserting the blazing and dazzling sword into the shield axe, filling it up in one breath.

The mechanism was activated, and the sword and shield merged into a giant axe in the blink of an eye. High-energy arcs crackled and jumped on the high-speed rotating axe blade.

Feng Ying was so excited that her hair stood up. With this axe, she would definitely smash the gorilla's head!

"Super! Solution!"

Feng Ying roared and swung the giant axe down.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At the critical moment of life and death, an increasingly rapid heartbeat sounded from the exposed chest of the golden lion.

A flash of golden lightning burst out from it, and then spread to the whole body of the golden lion, dyeing the inconspicuous brown and black fur into a dazzling golden color.

Stimulated by the powerful electric current, the golden lion instantly stood up with his arms on the ground, leaped a long distance, and narrowly avoided the deadly heavy axe.

The golden lion that had regained its awakened power, no, the "excited" golden lion roared towards the sky.

“Awoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”

Feng Ying stared blankly at the giant axe embedded in the ground, and then started screaming along with the others.

“Ahhhhhh——!!!”

Hayata: “.”
