Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1446 Lock
Among various melee weapons, the explosive power of the Insect Glaive can only be ranked at the lower end.

Its advantages lie in its tactical flexibility and three-dimensional mobility that other weapons do not have.

Of course, the so-called weak explosive power is only relative.

The attack frequency of the Insect Control Stick is one of the highest in the world, under the continuous explosion of ancient slime mold and insect hunting powder on the [Obsidian Pestle of Shattered Light].

The power of Maca's entire combo should not be underestimated.

The unhealed wound on the red dragon's tail was charred black, and dark red dragon blood was flowing out.

After again commanding the insect hunters to leave behind a few balls of insect powder, Maca stepped aside.

Hayata sheathed his sword and slid closer after completing his preparation. The ice blade popped out of the scabbard, flashing with cold light.

Kamui Iai!

Three consecutive swords landed precisely on the same spot.

The charred and loose flesh was cut open by the continuous explosions of the insect-control stick, the wound expanded further, and dragon blood spurted out uncontrollably.

That's exactly what they wanted to do.

Causing continuous bleeding is the most practical way to weaken the monster's physical strength. Even if the red dragon can use the energy of the earth veins to recover from injuries, even the blood can be regenerated quickly.

But that will undoubtedly greatly accelerate energy consumption.

Hayata, who had exhausted his sword energy in the powerful attack, gave the best attack position back to Maka, and went around to the other side of the dragon's tail, attacking continuously to refine his momentum.

It was like sawing a chain with a saw. With the two people's coordinated high-frequency attacks, the wound on the red dragon's tail continued to expand.

Feeling the pain, the red dragon roared and was about to turn around.

Gordon, who was responsible for attracting the target's attention from the front, immediately stepped up his offensive, trying to draw the Red Dragon's attention back.

However, the high points made it difficult for him to exert his full strength. Seeing that the Red Dragon was about to turn around, Gordon had an idea.

He raised his left arm and fired his flying claws, then flew to the side of the red dragon's head.

Feng Ying, who was standing by, was stunned by this scene.

In her impression, Gordon rarely, or even never, used the flight claws for climbing attacks.

The catapult seemed to have only one function for him, which was to use the recoil of the enhanced shooting to speed up the preparation for the true charged slash.

Does Gordon hate this tactic?

Of course not, it’s just not necessary.

Hayata and Fengying, who can almost be called "professionals", needless to say. Even Ansir, who is a shooter, is more suitable for Denglong than him. There is really no need for him to use the greatsword.

But now it is necessary.

Chilong's attention was immediately drawn to Gordon.

Once something crawls onto your face, you can't help but pay attention.

The cold golden dragon eyes turned towards him, and energy flames were surging between the red dragon's fangs and sharp teeth, as if it wanted to throw him away and spit in the air.

Gordon took the lead and stuffed the slingshot on his left arm into the red dragon's eye socket.

Full fire!

Chilong reacted quickly and closed his eyelids in time.

But at zero distance, the power of the specially strengthened catapults of the greatsword users is still considerable, not to mention that the target is the fragile eyeball.

Even though the eyeball was not blown out under the protection of the eyelid, the severe pain that penetrated deep into the brain still made it unable to stop leaning back.

Gordon had no intention of taking the opportunity to strike twice more with his sword. Using the recoil of the full bullet firing, he rolled over and jumped to the ground, ready to fight.

After this move, he didn't believe that the Red Dragon would not get angry.

Sure enough, after shaking his head, the red dragon regained his strength and a frightening red light flashed in his eyes.

Gordon felt as if he was locked in place by some kind of energy.

He had experienced a similar feeling once from Behemoth. Would a crazy attack against him follow?
Also good
Gordon took a deep breath, turned on the courage mode, and ran quickly.

"Roar--!"

The red dragon's gaze followed Gordon, it opened its huge mouth and energy flames spurted out.

Compared to the previous short attack, this time the energy flame lasted longer, sweeping towards the hunter.

Gordon, who had started running in advance, slid and rolled continuously, trying to avoid the path of the flame jet.

Because it is not solid enough, the flame column will dissipate in the middle, which greatly weakens the range of the attack.

But at close range, the drifting energy flames become more dangerous.

If Feng Ying had not desperately attacked the side of the Red Dragon and forcibly interrupted the latter's attack, his dodging space would have been continuously compressed and he would have nearly been hit.

"Tsk, you haven't lost your mind yet?" Gordon gritted his teeth and stopped.

Monsters in an angry state will often be blinded by rage and use various powerful but costly moves indiscriminately.

Just be careful with this period as they can get tired easily.

But the red dragon is different. Even now, it still remains calm.

This can be seen from the fact that the energy flame it just used is still the kind with short range and ordinary power.

He originally wanted to trick the Red Dragon into using his blazing breath, which had incredible power and consumed even more incredible amounts of energy.

Unfortunately, Chilong was not fooled.
While dodging the Red Dragon's continuous attacks, Gordon was thinking about how to induce the former to waste more energy.

Just then, continuous artillery fire sounded.

"Boom! Boom!"

After completing the ammunition replenishment, the shooters rode the Acid Pterosaurs back to the battlefield.

They landed and dispersed, launching fire support immediately.

"Where's Nema's wound? It's already healed?" Gail couldn't help but swear.

Anhil’s face was solemn.

As a skilled sniper with excellent eyesight, he also noticed the unhealed wounds on the Red Dragon's body and came to a similar conclusion as Gordon.

——The energy reserves of the earth veins in this area are not abundant.

But he was not optimistic.

Who can guarantee that the Red Dragon’s “reserve grain warehouse” for storing earth vein energy is only this one?

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Ansel took over the command from Gordon who was busy dealing with the red dragon.

"Feng Ying covers Gordon, and the others disperse and attack the red dragon's limbs to reduce its mobility!
The shooters attack the wings as hard as possible, preferably to damage the wing membrane."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a flash of light at the edge of his vision.

Looking up, he found Pork Chop clinging to the top of the cave, using the reflection of the cat sword to remind him to pay attention.

Ansel narrowed his eyes slightly, observed the arrangements of the hunting cats, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

After comparing the positions, Ansel said again: "Gordon! Thirty meters at two o'clock, the trap area! Lead the red dragon over there!"

Gordon was so focused on dealing with the red dragon that he didn't notice the actions of the hunting cats.

But when he heard what Ansir said, he immediately perked up and began to consciously attract the red dragon over there.

This process cannot be too direct. If you just run in that direction, the Red Dragon will probably realize that something is wrong.

On the top of the cave, Zhuchop and Xianglan, who had completed the arrangement of the blasting point, landed shakily on a kite.

Zhuchop jumped to the ground and didn't rest for a moment. He left Xianglan behind and ran towards Liefeng.

On the way, there was Babaka, who was shouting and screaming non-stop and firing at the red dragon.

After Gordon leads the red dragon to the trap area, they must find a way to "freeze" the red dragon in that position for a few seconds to ensure that the falling rocks do not hit empty space.

For this critical moment, it has prepared something "very powerful".

It was in the backpack on Liefeng.
