Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1425 On the brink of collapse
"Drink!"

The bald Khan, who was almost twice as tall as an ordinary man, bent his arms and struck a "strong" pose, showing off his brand new armor.

“Quack, quack.”

The hunters watching on the deck clapped in cooperation.

"Hooah!"

Ted, who was in the mood, roared again, lunged and stomped his feet, stretched his back muscles sideways, and changed his posture to continue showing the back and sides of the protective gear.

"Kacha——"

His own weight, the weight of the gray-black heavy armor, plus the stomp of his foot just now to boost his energy.

A piece of wood on the deck of the Blue Star was stepped on and cracked.

Isana, who was both a craftsman providing logistical support to the hunters and a shipwright of the Azure Star, let out an angry scream.

"Asshole! You are not allowed to stomp your feet while wearing super heavy armor! Do you want to stomp through the deck?!"

Unrepentantly removing his feet from the broken floor, and putting on the full-face helmet shaped like a crown, Ted put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly.

Under the resonance of the heavy metal helmet, the laughter was as deep and loud as a bronze bell.

It wasn't until Anshil glared at him that he calmed down a little.

Gordon looked at him with a smile. He could certainly understand the latter's excitement. "Elite Lava Cast Island, that's the right name, isn't it? It's a bit difficult to pronounce.

How does it feel, Ted?

"Ha! Strong!"

Ted took off his helmet and hung it around his waist. "Although this suit doesn't look as thick as the Blast Hammer Dragon, it's just as heavy, and even heavier.

The armor parts do not get stuck and the center of gravity is stable. These armors that look almost like cast iron are incredibly strong.

Even if there is no protection at all, I am very satisfied!"

The armor is heavy, which is definitely a disadvantage for other hunters, especially those who use light weapons such as dual swords and insect sticks and pursue flexibility.

But for heavily armed defenders like spearmen and lancers, it is a complete advantage.

Just like this set of armor, being heavier means the armor is thicker and the defensive performance is stronger. It also means the center of gravity is more stable and the defensive posture is not easy to break.

Some minor injuries, the aftermath of monster attacks, and even ground vibrations can be completely ignored (reducing cowardice and earthquake resistance).

It can be said that as long as they can bear the physical strength, the heavy-armored defenders would like to put on a steel fortress directly on their bodies.

In addition to being heavy, super-heavy armor has another unavoidable disadvantage - bulkiness.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon series of armor is the most typical example.

Those who are not used to using it will move as stiffly as a wooden man even if they can bear the terrifying weight.

But I don’t know what technology this [Elite Lava Cast Island] uses. Maybe it’s because the material density is particularly high?
Judging from the appearance, it is a conventional heavy armor and will not seriously affect the movement.

In terms of weight and defensive performance, it is also at the ceiling level among super heavy armors.

It fully retains the advantages of super-heavy armor while eliminating the disadvantage of being bulky. It is the armor that heavy defenders have always dreamed of.

Isana put the matter of repairing the deck aside for the moment and picked up a stack of booklets that came with the new armor. On them were the drawings of the armor, which would be useful for repair and maintenance.

In addition, there is some information about the protection effects.

"Well, in addition to the advantages that super-heavy armor generally has, this helmet uses a sound-isolating structure that can help you resist noise (ear plugs).

Of course, the most crucial core protection is still this!
It can greatly amplify the activity of explosives, whether it is gunfire, dragon-killing cannons, or armor-piercing grenades (Artillery 5).

The outer armor has excellent thermal conductivity, while the inner armor can perfectly isolate high temperatures.

It says that you can even stick the red-hot gun barrel against armor to help dissipate heat, and with the increase in energy storage speed, you can greatly shorten the cooling time of the Dragon Cannon.

Who on earth came up with this damn cooling method? ! "

"I'll try!"

"Don't try this on the boat!"

After kicking Ted's knee viciously as a warning, Isana turned back to look at the other hunter who had finished changing his clothes.

"Oh, you are so good."

She had barely begun to speak when Oshura interrupted her with a smile and a wave of her hand, "There's no need to introduce our set in detail.

The armor that is mixed and matched has clear protection in all aspects, but the tightness of some places needs to be slightly adjusted."

"Oh, that's easy. Just adjust the straps and connectors. I'll get the tools."

Feng Ying looked at the two of them enviously.

Her golden lion shield axe has not been made yet. After all, there is no rush to use it. The processing shop currently has limited manpower, so priority is given to making Ted and Oshura's protective gear.

But when she looked down at the dragon skeleton cloth wrapped around her neck, she became happy again.

Can this be considered new equipment?

The arrival of the supply team's transport airship gave the hunters the confidence to launch a decisive battle.

The commander-in-chief and the leader of the supply squad were very generous. They filled the entire transport airship with all kinds of expensive medicines, hunting tools, gunpowder and other materials as if they were free.

Not to mention Gordon and the others, even Ansel felt that the things sent were a bit too much.
The shooters began working overtime to mix the ammunition.

As for why it wasn’t directly coordinated by the Star Base and delivered as finished ammunition.

Safety is one reason, but the more important reason is that shooter hunters are somewhat obsessive-compulsive.

It seems that if the ammunition is not mixed by oneself, one will feel uneasy using it.

Even Gale, who is carefree and seems to care about nothing, always mixes his own crossbow bullets.

This is also related to shooting habits.

The amount of gunpowder in a crossbow bullet will directly affect its trajectory. Even standard crossbow bullets sold in stores are not as easy to use as those made by yourself.

Not to mention special crossbow shells like supernova, which you can only make yourself.

In the previous continuous hunting, they collected a large number of special explosives such as fire dragon bone marrow, explosive hammer dragon bone marrow, and gunpowder rock.

In addition to the usual slime bombs, Zhucho has begun to mix high-density dragon-killing carbon in batches.
A few more days passed since the supplies were delivered.

In the place where demons gather, the fight among ancient dragons becomes more and more intense.

The Bitou team, who are good at covert reconnaissance, and Xianglan, who seems unreliable but is actually quite reliable, have sneaked into the place where demons gather many times to confirm the situation.

According to reports, due to frequent wildfires and extreme weather, the ecological environment of the forest area, which accounts for about a quarter of the total area of ​​the Demon Gathering Land, has completely collapsed.

Large tracts of forests were burned down, and many places had been reduced to rubble.

The Steel Dragon, who was extremely angry because of losing his home, caused a larger storm, and broke into the battle between Flame King and Nergigante as a third party, causing serious injuries to Flame King.

As the battlefield of the great battle between four ancient dragons, the ecological environment of the wasteland area has suffered irreversible damage.

At the same time, the abnormally low temperature brought by the Ice Curse Dragon caused the death of a large number of corals in the coral reef zone.

Ming Bo Long retaliated by causing a horrific avalanche in the ice and snow zone.
This once exquisite and prosperous "New World miniature eco-box" is now in ruins.

As its creator, the Dragon King, why hasn't he shown up yet?
