Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1434 Souvenirs

Gordon and Feng Ying, riding on the Acid Pterosaur, flew at high speed over the sea, constantly looking back in the direction of the Demon Gathering Place.

This is not the most dangerous part of the operation, but it is certainly their weakest stage.

Once the Nergigante catches up with them, they will have almost no means of resistance.

After all, not everyone can dive underwater without showing their heads and swim for several kilometers like the sea hunters in Az.

Fortunately, Julius and the others are reliable enough.

A quarter of an hour later, the unknown coastline in the northwest had appeared on the edge of the sea level, and was constantly expanding as the pterosaurs flew at high speed.

After some time had passed, the gray and barren rocky land replaced the surging sea surface.

At last they were above land.

Gordon felt a little relieved. They were still not safe at the moment, but at least if the Nergigante chased them, they could land on the ground at any time and fight back.

"Look!" Feng Ying, who was flying not far from Gordon, shouted.

Gordon looked back and saw a yellow flare rising from the direction of the demon gathering place.

That was the signal agreed upon in advance, the signal for Nergigante to break free from the fight and continue the pursuit.

Gordon chuckled. "Julius has a very accurate sense of timing."

The speed of Nergigante flying at full speed is definitely faster than Pteranodon. From now on, it will catch up in about ten minutes at most.

By then they should have been close to the Valley of Tranquility.

"Lower altitude!" Gordon shouted.

The airflow is complex in low-altitude environments, so the flying speed of the Acid Pterosaur will be reduced and it will also consume more energy.

However, compared with the advantage of being able to land rapidly and enter combat status at any time, these disadvantages can be completely ignored.

The quiet valley is not far away.

the other side.

Watching the Annihilator Dragon fly away, Julius breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether it is hunting ancient dragons, driving them away or fighting them, he has considerable experience.

But in a situation like this, they had to hold it for a while and not let it leave, but at the same time they couldn't arouse excessive hatred in it, lest it give up chasing Gordon and the other two, causing the operation to fail.

The "degree" among them is really difficult to grasp.
Finally, nothing went wrong.

The next part will be left to Gordon and the others.

"Roar--"

"Master Julius, it's the Flame King Dragon!" Aiden shouted.

Julius quickly sharpened his double blades and said, "Let's go and cover Alcohol and the others. There is no need to continue fighting these ancient dragons. Find a chance to retreat!"

In an icy cave not far away.

The Ice Curse Dragon, which was trapped in the nest by Hayata and the other two, was extremely angry.

It screamed and soared into the air, its wings spread wide, and an even colder air than before spread out, even the air was dyed with a layer of dark blue like solid ice.

The hot air exhaled from the mouth and nose will turn into frost in an instant and stick to the visor.

Every time I took a breath, it felt like a handful of sharp ice cubes were stuffed into my throat. If I breathed faster, even my trachea and lungs would get frostbitten.

In such an extremely cold environment, even if you take hot drinks in advance, your physical strength will decline at a rate several times faster than usual.

"Wow—!"

The Ice Curse Dragon in mid-air spewed out a stream of silvery cold air towards the ground.

An ice wall composed of countless sharp ice edges rose from the ground, spreading radially in all directions, squeezing the hunters' space for movement.

Hayata and Ansir retreated quickly towards the cave entrance.

"This guy is indeed more than one level stronger than the previous one."

Ansil retreated while reloading his gun. "If you have a chance to defeat it, your Avalanche might be able to be strengthened even further."

Hayata smashed down a dispelling fruit, melting the frost that had stuck to his armor from the previous close combat.

"Don't think about it now. The roar of the Nergigante has faded away. The guided operation should have been successful. Let's retreat."

While the companions tried to break away from the ancient dragons they were intercepting.

Gordon and Fengying landed near the Valley of Tranquility.

Gordon released the grappling hook, landed firmly on the ground, and looked up at the black shadow that was rapidly approaching through the clouds in the sky.

"be prepared."

"understand!"

The two of them drank the forced walking potion G, the ghost potion G, the hardening potion G, and other expensive potions that they were reluctant to use during normal hunting.

Pork Chop unhooked all the explosives and hung them in a convenient location, while Mushroom pulled out his claw-like plundering knife.

The black shadow in the air continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye it was above their heads.

The Nergigante roared wildly, flipped its body, and dived down.

"coming!"

Feng Ying took a few quick steps to Gordon's front, put up her shield and took a defensive stance, while releasing insect silk to stabilize her defense.

A few seconds later, the Nergigante fell like a meteorite, dozens of meters in front of them.

The pitch-black bone thorns came like a heavy rain. Gordon lowered his center of gravity and hid behind Feng Ying's large shield. At the same time, he stretched out his palm to support the latter's vest to help her share some of the impact.

"Bang! Bang!"

Several bone spines hit the shield in succession, and the power was like a cannonball fired directly at it.

Her defensive posture was almost broken, but fortunately she used the wire mesh technique in advance and with Gordon's help, she was able to hold on.

Even so, Feng Ying still felt a surge of turmoil in her chest and abdomen.

“Gahhhhhhh——!”

The thick and powerful wings spread out, and an almost deafening roar swept over.

When the roar subsided, Gordon resisted the urge to rush up and have a good fight with the Nergigante and turned to run towards the entrance of the Valley of Tranquility.

Feng Ying completely charged the shield with the energy she had just absorbed from the fully charged defense, activated the red shield, and rushed towards the Nergigante.

Nergigante swung its claws impatiently.

These one blocker after another made it very annoyed, and now it just wanted to have a big fight with the guy who exuded the aura that it longed for.

As for other "bipedal creatures", it simply didn't take them seriously.

Facing the attacking sharp claws, Feng Ying did not dodge but advanced instead, inserting her sword into her shield while using the transformed shield axe to meet the dragon claws.

"boom!"

With precise defense, the red-hot shield successfully blocked the attack.

She took advantage of the situation to transform her weapon, and the rapidly spinning giant axe chopped back heavily.

"Super! Solution!"

Nergigante, which had focused most of its attention on the "escaping" Gordon, reacted a little slowly.

Faced with the incoming giant axe, it only had time to turn its head to avoid the vital points.

The blazing axe blade struck its shoulder hard.

The bone spine that had just regenerated and had not yet turned into black was shattered, and the scales were torn apart. A hideous wound with flesh and blood turned inside out appeared on the shoulder and neck of the Annihilator Dragon.

“Roar!” the Nergigante howled in pain.

His attention inevitably returned to the hunter in front of him.

At this moment, Feng Ying tore off the dragon skeleton cloth that was wrapped around her neck to seal the breath and sever the connection.

Under the sudden intensification of resonance, a red light flashed in Feng Ying's eyes.

A certain aura that made the Annihilator Dragon extremely fearful gushed out as if a lid was lifted.

Gordon, who had completed his part of the attraction mission, hid behind a rock, put on an invisible cloak, and completely concealed his breath.

In the perception of the Nergigante, the "World-Destroying Nergigante" suddenly disappeared.

But it no longer cared about those things at this moment.

The aura emanating from the creature in front of it was even more dangerous, and made it feel even more eager.
