Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 881 Mad Dragon
Although that is only the outer city wall that separates Fighting Street from the outside world.

Although the city wall had just been rebuilt not long ago, the curing of the bonding material had not yet reached its maximum strength.

But in any case, this is also a fortress-level city wall with a surface height of more than 30 meters and a thickness of several meters. In terms of overall strength, it is far above the conventional city walls of Metabeta!

It collapsed and destroyed after a while of exhalation. No one had expected this kind of scene.

In the original tactical plan, the first city wall should last at least ten minutes, but in fact, it couldn't last even one minute.

The city wall was turned into ruins, and the hunters who were in charge of manipulating the cannon beds and crossbows on the wall were naturally not immune.

In Battle Street, panic and pessimism are spreading uncontrollably.

Since the combatants were all elites, no one escaped from the fighting position or turned around and ran away. However, we have to admit that the scene before us had a serious impact on morale.

Gordon took a deep breath, and the roaring sound could be heard clearly by everyone in Battle Street.

"Don't be afraid!!!" He roared at the top of his voice, "Look at the wounds on its body! The blood is flowing all the time, it won't last long, stick to its post, and keep attacking until it falls down!"

Compared with passionate declarations such as "for honor" and "for Dongdoruma", the fact that "the monster has been seriously injured" gave the hunters more direct hope.

Only then did the hunters, who recovered from their panic, notice how serious the tyrannosaur's injuries were.

One of the relatively slender front claws compared to the wing claws was broken off. Through the huge wounds on the chest of Styracosaurus, which were several meters wide and deep, one could even see the damaged internal organs squirming.

The dark red dragon's blood mixed with the black grease was flowing out continuously.

Such an injury would be fatal to any other creature, and even the ancient dragon species with astonishing vitality would be unable to withstand it.

The morale of the hunters, their confidence in repelling and even killing the giant halberd dragon, is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Gordon believed that he did not have the eloquence to ignite everyone's will in despair. At this time, the fact that Styracosaurus was seriously injured was more effective than any passionate words.

"Good job."

Altman's appreciative voice came through the thick metal helmet, "I probably understand why everyone calls you 'brave'."

Gordon smiled dryly, "If you want to praise me, let's save it for later."

The giant halberd dragon waved its huge wings and landed with a crash.

It stepped on the ruins of the city wall, and with its ferocious roar, it frightened all the creatures present.

"Roar--!"

The three teams of high-ranking hunters did not launch an attack immediately, and the forts and heavy bed crossbows scattered all over Battle Street did not fire immediately.

The severely injured and hungry giant halberd ignored the existence of these unremarkable creatures and began digging through the pile of ruins.

In the underground warehouse under the first city wall, a huge amount of gunpowder is stored.

All of them are produced by various workshops and factories in recent days.

When the city wall collapsed due to the breath of dragon flames and the explosion of black oil, the hearts of the hunters went up to their throats. Fortunately, the underground warehouse was built deep enough and strong enough, so the explosion did not happen.

The giant halberd was obviously aiming at the pile of gunpowder, and the powerful wing claws capable of destroying the city wall grabbed it. A huge hole was dug into the ruins and the ground, revealing a large number of gunpowder barrels hidden deep underground.

Different from the Metabetat defensive battle, the "addition" in the gunpowder is different this time.

Master Campbell believed that the timing detonation method was too uncontrollable, so he decided to remove the delay fuse used to detonate the gunpowder.

Instead, there are massive amounts of scrap metal fragments, sharp gravel, experimental alchemy poisons and other items that may increase the power of the explosion and cause more serious damage to the Tyrannosaurus.

The giant halberd ate very happily, and seemed to enjoy the rusty taste of the metal fragments.

The hunters breathed a sigh of relief.

The bait plan should have taken effect. Although the rapid destruction of the first city wall almost disrupted the layout, everything is back on track now.

Before the tactical process was determined, some scholars suggested that with the intelligence of the ancient dragon species, it might be difficult to deceive the Styracosaurus again using the poison bait tactics used once in Metabetate.

Others, however, believe that Gigantosaurus is different from most ancient dragon individuals who have shown considerable intelligence.

Its voracious appetite, violent aggression, self-mutilation tendencies, and violent personality prove that it is a "mad dragon".

Madmen are irrational.

This reason convinced the high-level members of the guild, and now it seems that the latter idea is indeed correct.

Giganticosaurus may be able to realize that swallowing these gunpowder will be dangerous.

But it doesn't care.

Its crazy and chaotic thoughts only "eat" and "destroy", and other things, including its own life, are irrelevant.

"Do you think this guy looks a bit like a Tyrannosaurus Rex?" Gordon said suddenly.

Watching the giant halberd grabbing with its claws, licking with its tongue, and even poking its head directly into the underground warehouse, gnawing gunpowder and earth and rocks together, eating crazily.

The top hunters who had hunted the Tyrannosaurus Rex nodded in agreement.

The sharp-eyed Anshir said with emotion, "Look at the wound on its abdomen, its digestive tract is even broken, but the opening is covered with jelly-like black oil.

Now the stomach is gradually full, the wound is opened, and gunpowder is leaking, how did this guy survive until now? "

After hearing Anshir's words, the hearts of the high-ranking hunters were filled with gloom.

The giant halberd was seriously injured, and even its internal organs were severely damaged, which was naturally good news for them.

However, under such an injury, the former can still move freely without being affected at all, which is not good news.

The first city wall failed to delay the pace of Styracosaurus, but the warehouse full of gunpowder made it stop for a long time.

Dozens of hunters scattered around the Battle Street were almost motionless, just watching the giant halberd eating gunpowder, and the time flowed slowly for several minutes.

Suddenly, inside Battle Street, a warning horn whistle sounded from the top of the stepped city wall.

The sound of large gear sets and mechanical operation sounded.

The length of the cannon body is more than ten meters, and the caliber is nearly one meter. The gun mount of the Dragon Slayer Cannon slowly rotates, aiming at the giant halberd that is eating freely.

Gordon turned his head to look, and unexpectedly found the figure of the master craftsman near the gun mount.

The huge amount of gunpowder piled up in the underground warehouse disappeared after being swallowed by the giant halberd dragon.

There's no need to wait until the other party has licked the scum clean. The giant halberd is the best target. The master decisively decided to fire the dragon-killing cannon early.

The transmitter is activated.

On the body of the heavy cannon, a red and dazzling electric glow shone, which was the light of the powerful dragon attribute energy escaping.

The energy surged, and the gun barrel made of special alloy became red hot.

Amidst the deafening noise, the artillery shells blasted out, and the barrel retracted suddenly to prevent the too powerful recoil from shattering the gun mount.

The cannonball made of high-density dragon-killing carbon hit the shoulder of the giant styrannosaurus head-on, and the cannonball almost passed through the chest obliquely, and the powerful kinetic energy knocked it to the ground.

"boom!"

The golden-red explosive flames and the high-intensity dragon-attribute energy erupted together, turning into a huge mushroom cloud surrounded by red electricity.

This is the true power of the high-density dragon-killing carbon that can only be exerted in conjunction with the dragon-killing cannon. From a certain point of view, using high-density dragon-killing carbon as explosives is a bit of a waste.

"Boom rumble—!"

A more violent explosion sounded.

The huge amount of gunpowder that had just been swallowed by the giant halberd was detonated together.

The scattered fragments blasted the giant halberd's abdomen into a thousand holes, and along with the shock wave, the scattered gunpowder smoke enveloped the entire Battle Street.

Ps. This is what I wrote. I think the giant halberd should be directly blown to death
And the Dragon Slayer Cannon in the 4g setting (there is also a translation of the Dragon Cannon), is it driven by the dragon attribute as energy, or is the tube retreating the cannon? This technical force immediately came up
