Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1399: Dig Fast!!! (An additional chapter for the new leader, Hammer (Why is it you again!))
Lava zone.

A huge dragon fell into a pit trap.

Countless ice bombs fell like heavy rain, and finally with a burst of dragon-strike cannon fire, this invincible volcanic iron fist completely lost its life.

Ted and his men gathered around.

After explaining to the professor the need to replace their protective gear, the professor modified their mission area and asked them to hunt in the volcanic area.

This was the fourth Broken Dragon they had hunted in the past few days.

Although no trace of special individuals like the Explosive Dragonite was found, the materials from these dragonites, no matter how good the selection, are enough for Oshura to create a set of extremely high-quality [Elite Dragonite] (Master Dragonite Set).

Combined with the wrist armor of the Explosive Dragon and the greaves of the Black Wolf Bird, Oshura's new armor is finally complete.

Oshura brandished the peeling knife and happily peeled off the small portion of the best quality material from the Broken Dragon in front of him.

Ted also carefully dug out two pieces of steel dragon bones that were affected by the energy of the earth veins and whose hardness was even far greater than that of steel.

The rest is of no use to them.

"How much material do you need?" Oshura put away the peeling knife, straightened up and asked Ted.

Ted bared his big teeth and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Bi Tou helped us get a lot of those faded crystals in the coral land, and Gordon and his team also got other types of crystal ores from the forest and wasteland.

There are also various high-quality bone materials that are so good that they can’t be found anywhere else. If you calculate it, it should be about the same.”

Gale, who was holding the crossbow on guard, smiled and said, "The efficiency is unexpectedly high. Fortunately, we let the transport airship that brought supplies stay for a few more days, just in time for them to bring the materials back to the Star Base.

Most of the hunters in the investigation team have returned to the Old World for support, and the craftsmen in the workshop are very idle. The new armor for both of you should be ready soon."

"Ahahaha! I can't wait!"

The area where the forest zone and the iceberg zone meet.

The iceberg, which was at least forty or fifty meters high, is now less than half of its original height.

If calculated by volume, it has melted by nearly 70% to 80%.

Through the ice layer that was still several meters thick, one could vaguely see the body wrapped in it, still standing.

All its movements and expressions were frozen at the most violent and ferocious moment before it completely lost its life.

The reason why this iceberg melted so quickly was all thanks to the professor's suggestion.

Thanks to the efforts of scholars, they found two weak points in the rock formations near the "big ice block", and then the blasting expert Zhupai personally carried out the blasting, which resulted in a large new hot spring pool.

The originally overly hot spring water became relatively comfortable due to the melting of the glacier, and some brave hunters even took time out to take a bath here.

Soak in the sulfur hot spring water that has become a comfortable temperature thanks to the Ice Curse Dragon, listen to the "mountain song duet" of large monsters in the distance, and admire the "muscular body" of the passionate golden lion in the big ice block.

This kind of overly wild hot spring is not something that everyone can enjoy.
Anyway, Gordon and Ted both liked it.

If the iceberg was not about to melt completely in a few days, the water temperature here would soon become uninhabitable, and they would have liked to build a bathhouse here.

"Hey-"

Feng Ying, carrying a pork chop on her head, waded through the hot spring water that was almost chest-deep and came to the huge ice block in the center of the pool that could no longer be called a "mountain".

They are not here to take a bath today.

Feng Ying threw the pork chop onto the giant ice block. The pork chop climbed up and down to check the formation, then poked its head out from the top of the ice block, "No problem, meow! I'm sure I can blow it up, meow."

But we have to be prepared, meow, the explosion will definitely attract other large monsters, even the Frost Dragon.

After the ice is blasted, we must extract the materials as quickly as possible and then evacuate immediately."

"No problem!" Feng Ying pressed her shoulders and moved her arms.

She and the mushrooms are ready to go.

Pig Chop took out the tools and drilled a dozen holes in the giant ice block. Then he started to fill it with explosives, prepare fuses, and do a series of other tasks.

After completing all this, it used its claws to light the fuse and jumped back onto Feng Ying's head, "Run! Run at least fifty meters! There are fifty-three seconds left before the explosion! Fifty-one, forty-nine."

"Can't you make the fuse longer?!"

"Save Meow! Forty-five"

It was not easy to escape in waist-deep water, Feng Ying rolled and crawled forward for a while.

After realizing that Pork Chop had already started the last ten-second countdown, he simply took a deep breath and dived into the pool.

"Grumpy"

"Gulu. Two, one meow."

"Boom, boom, boom!" A series of explosions penetrated the water and reached their ears.

The holes for the pork chops were buried very deep, and the amount of medicine used in each hole was not large, so the power of the explosion would not directly affect here.

The only thing to worry about is the broken ice that gets blown away.

With Pig Chop's careful arrangement, most of the broken ice went in other directions, and in the end, they were able to escape without any danger.

The huge ice has disappeared, but the body of the passionate golden lion wrapped in it has not been obviously damaged.

Rolled hard into the hot spring pool.

"Hurry meow!"

"Hurry up!" Feng Ying pulled out a small knife for peeling and rushed over quickly.

Mushroom rode on Amber, even faster than them, and was the first to arrive at the golden lion's corpse. Without saying a word, he swung his plundering knife and started to hit the horn that he had been thinking about for a long time.

Perhaps it was because it had been frozen, or perhaps it was because it had been injured in the previous battle, but this time it didn't take much effort to pry the extremely hard horn off the golden lion's skull.

"Meow!" The mushroom raised the horn high, cheered, and started prying the other one.

Feng Ying and Zhu Pai also ran back to the body of the golden lion.

"We asked Isana before, what materials are needed to make a shield axe?" Feng Ying was so anxious that she was a little confused.

"What goldfish memory meow, heart! And the longest and most resilient hair on the head (wrathful hair)! And the most lustrous fur on the body meow (brilliant fur)!"

"Oh, I'll dig out the heart. I'll leave the rest to you!"

One person, two cats and a dog were digging madly.

I have never been so nervous when searching for materials.

When the azure figure once again broke through the snow clouds in the northern sky and appeared in their sight.

Feng Ying, sweating profusely, finally took out the huge heart that seemed to be still beating strongly from the hard chest cavity of the golden lion's corpse that had not yet melted.

"withdraw!"

Feng Ying, holding a huge heart that was almost half her size, jumped onto Amber's back. She also jumped up one after another, carrying two hard-horned mushrooms and a bunch of shiny hairy pork chops.

Amber moved his limbs and tried to speed up, but in the hot spring water, his running speed was not fast enough.

Seeing the chilling figure flying closer and closer, Mushroom suddenly had an idea. He took out a retreat bomb from Feng Ying's prop bag and threw it on the body of the Golden Lion.

The foul smell that rose into the sky attracted the attention of the flying Ice Curse Dragon.

The disappearing iceberg, the corpse immersed in the hot spring water, the corpse that has not changed much from the outside, the pungent stench
The Ice Curse Dragon seemed to have some subtle misunderstanding. With an uneasy hiss, its extremely cold silver breath slammed onto the innocent corpse.

An iceberg even bigger than before rose from the ground.

Amber took advantage of this opportunity, carrying one person and two cats out of the hot spring pool, and disappeared from the Ice Curse Dragon's sight.

ps. Also, another new leader after Reinhardt asked me to write an if world line, where Ansel is a female and meets Gordon. You guys are so weird!

I'll take it out later if I get a chance (covering my face)
