Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1451 Stalemate
Under the dragon-strike cannon, a large hole of charred flesh and blood was blasted out on the red dragon's chest.

Ted then fired a full barrage of bullets, driving the rifle bullet and the dragon cannon into the wound.

Then he immediately moved to a side position and held up one of the red dragon's front limbs, allowing Gordon and Feng Ying to let go and attack with all their strength.

For a moment, Chilong felt flustered.

It suddenly realized that entering this critical energy state seemed to be a foolish choice.

Although this state can greatly enhance his ability to manipulate the earth energy, there is not so much energy for him to squander in this cave.

What's more, he must retain some energy to deal with powerful enemies that may arrive at any time.

On the contrary, it is the side effect of softening the scales that makes the attacks of those annoying "little animals" more threatening.

The red dragon growled, steadied itself, and prepared to dissipate the boiling energy in its body and end its supercritical state.

Gordon took the opportunity to slide close to the red dragon's head. He did not seek to maximize the power. After a very short period of charging, the [Unmovable] greatsword chopped towards the red dragon's jaw.

Charge forward and slash!
He didn't know what the red dragon was going to do, but it would be the right thing to stop it!
"Om-!"

On the sword blade stained with dragon blood, red and black light burst out again.

Under the stimulation of dragon-attribute energy, the originally calm earth vein energy in the red dragon's body began to stir.

The red dragon's body shook, and Feng Ying and the others seized the opportunity and launched another fierce attack.

Such a defeat made Chilong very angry.

It leaped back to create a distance of nearly a hundred meters, slapped the ground with its dragon claws, and a furious roar swept out.

As the red dragon roared, a bright light flashed beneath its body, and the energy of the earth veins spread out in all directions like a tide.

Gordon and the others' hearts were pounding, thinking that the Red Dragon was going to use some terrifying and powerful move again.

Nothing happened.

However, the ground cracked open during this shaking, and dark green methane gushed out from it.

"What is this guy doing?" Feng Ying was a little confused.

Out of caution, she disassembled the charged giant axe, returned to sword and shield mode, and looked vigilantly at the red dragon that was at a distance.

Ansil tentatively fired a normal bullet.

As expected, the crossbow bullet bounced off when it hit the red dragon's chest, causing no damage at all.

Ansir replaced the magazine of the armor-piercing grenade. "Has the hardness of the armor been restored? How smart!"

The professor, who had been paying close attention to the battlefield situation, said loudly to the hunters: "The Red Dragon has transported the earth vein energy it just absorbed back into the underground! The critical state has been resolved!
Gordon, step up your attack! Your weapon's dragon attribute is very strong and can disrupt the red dragon's control of energy!"

With his understanding of ancient dragons, the professor also discovered the most critical point of this battle.

It is difficult for hunters to effectively harm the red dragon with just the weapons in their hands.

The Red Dragon was being suppressed by Gordon's dragon-sealing power using the [Immovable] greatsword, making it difficult for it to steadily mobilize its energy and launch the same devastating explosion that it had previously used.

It seems that dragging it out will be in the Red Dragon's favor.

Just keep your eyes on Gordon and keep launching attacks until Gordon makes a mistake or falls down.

It can then absorb energy steadily and use the move that everyone fears the most to eliminate all the hunters in one go.

But the hunters are not without hope.

All they could do was to hold back the red dragon at all costs and not give it the chance to hide its existence.

When the other side of the "taboo" arrives, it will be the victory of the human side.

The red dragon's scarlet gaze fell on Gordon again.

Gordon also turned on the courage mode again, holding up his sword and ready for battle.

Attacking is his only option. If he relies on maneuvering as before, the frequency of attacks will decrease, the Dragon Sealing Force cannot be maintained, and everyone will be doomed.

Gordon and Chilong rushed towards each other at the same time.

Gordon was unable to be distracted at this time, so Ansel naturally took over the command.

"Fengying, Ted, try your best to block the two front claws of the red dragon and help Gordon share the pressure!
Julius, Aiden roams to support! "

The distance between the red dragon and the hunters was rapidly shortening, and just as Gordon was about to roll sideways to temporarily avoid the dragon chariot's edge.

A figure swooped down along with the pterosaur.

She didn't even aim, she just unfolded the heavy crossbow with one hand and fired based on her feeling.

A flash of fire appeared and hit the side of the red dragon.

The exploding golden-red fireball caused the red dragon's body to shake, and the explosion simultaneously detonated the methane gushing out from the cracks in the ground.

The violent explosion stopped the Red Dragon's dragon chariot, and the shock wave caused it to stagger back a few steps.

"Supernova?! Well done to Ansel!" Gordon shouted in surprise.

"What the hell are you blind! It's your sister Gale!" Gale jumped to the ground and cursed.

Another figure jumped and landed not far in front of the red dragon.

She released the hook connecting to the pterosaur in mid-air, and rolled forward the moment she jumped to the ground, turning the force of falling into forward momentum, and arrived in front of the red dragon's head before Gordon and others.

The maroon blade popped out of the scabbard and cut across the side of the red dragon's neck.

A trace of dragon blood flew out, and the unique red electric light of dragon energy lingered and jumped on the narrow wound.

"Sister Hayata! Sister Gail! Are you okay?!" Feng Ying cheered.

Gail glanced at his bandaged left arm and laughed, "It's not a big deal!"

Gordon rushed to the front of the red dragon's head and drew his sword to slash vertically, followed by an upward slash. Then, he raised the greatsword and entered a charging posture while asking:

"Dragon Blade [Red Lotus]? Why did you think of exchanging it for this sword?"

Hayata continued his offensive, taking the time to reply: "The Third Regiment Leader suggested that dragon attribute weapons can disrupt the red dragon's control of energy."

"That's just right." Gordon's tense expression relaxed a little.

The dragon attribute energy intensity of the dragon sword [Red Lotus] is not as strong as that of [Formless Dharmakaya·Immovable], but the two weapons work together to significantly enhance the suppression power against the red dragon.

The charge was interrupted, and the red dragon, who had been hit by several swords in a row, roared and bit forward.

Gordon immediately adjusted his movements and began to move in one go, while Hayata sheathed his sword and prepared for the Iai move.

The moment the huge mouth closed, the two of them instantly launched a counterattack.

The giant sword chopped off a dragon's fang as sharp as a sword, and the sword energy that burst out when the sword was unsheathed cut a series of fine scars on the red dragon's lower jaw.

The dragon-attribute energy that erupted simultaneously from the greatsword and the katana caused the red dragon to subconsciously shrink its head.

The tacit cooperation between the two made Anshil sigh.

A little further away, he saw someone performing an acrobatic act by placing his left foot on a large rock, holding the crossbow handle with his right hand, placing the crossbow on his left knee and firing. The sight gave him a headache.

Taking a deep breath, putting aside these irrelevant thoughts, Ansel quickly scanned the surroundings.

The previous image of a supernova detonating methane gave him some inspiration.

When the Red Dragon released its energy before, it created many cracks on the ground. The flammable gases flowing underground burst out from the cracks, forming areas filled with methane.

These are all natural traps.

If used properly, it can also cause huge damage to the Red Dragon.

"Four o'clock direction! Sixty meters, methane eruption area, find a way to lure the red dragon over there!"
