Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 883 An Impenetrable Defense

Gordon didn't charge up, nor did he activate the dragon energy propulsion engine of the [Red Wing] sword, and simply drew his sword and slashed at the giant halberd's claw arm.

The main purpose of this sword is to test.

Although he had come into close contact with giant halberd dragons in the Metabetat defense battle, he had never actually confronted them. He also got the combat information from Mr. Asa and his local hunters.

Therefore, perhaps in the eyes of others, Yinbian is the team that has the most contact with the giant halberd dragon, but in fact, the so-called familiarity is only on the theoretical level, and this is the first time that it has actually fought in real combat.

Just as the silver-red giant blade fell, Gordon frowned instantly.

This feeling of contact was very different from what he thought, and it was different from any monster he had ever faced.

Not the crustacean, the hardness of the exoskeleton of the beetle, nor the toughness of the scales of the flying dragon. It was like being chopped into semi-solidified asphalt, and the force was completely removed.

Coupled with the fact that the metal objects mixed in the keel oil blocked the blade, the big sword couldn't break through the protection of this layer of keel oil shattered iron armor. Not to mention hurting the giant halberd, even the blade was stuck.

He had to spend a lot of effort to get rid of the stickiness of the keel oil, and lift the [Red Wing] sword again.

Turning over to dodge, dodging the giant halberd's stomp, Gordon adjusted his attack position and swung his sword again.

This time, he started the dragon gas jet engine.

With the help of dragon energy, the speed and strength of his sword swings reached a new level, but when cutting into the unknown thick layer of black oil armor, the feel was still extremely sluggish.

The only good news is that the high-temperature dragon flames surrounding the sword melted the sticky keel oil a little, at least it didn't take so much effort to draw the sword.

Gordon suddenly remembered something.

Before, among those Metabeta hunters who were in charge of blocking the giant halberd and suffered heavy losses as a result, there was a seriously injured dual-knife warrior who mentioned it.

Not only dragon-type attacks, but fire-type weapons may also be unexpectedly effective against Styracosaurus.

After all, it was just one person's words. This piece of information did not receive enough attention. In terms of weapon attributes, most of the hunters who participated in this battle chose the dragon attribute that was confirmed to be effective.

Now it seems that what the dual-knife envoy said was right.

For the giant halberd itself, high temperature and flame may have nothing to do with it, but under high temperature burning, those semi-solidified black oils like thick armor will obviously soften and even fall off, which can be called an alternative "armor break".

After confirming this discovery, Gordon lowered his great sword and retreated a certain distance to avoid being affected by the attack of the giant halberd. At the same time, he turned his head and shouted:
"Fire and high temperature can melt the black oil and weaken its defense!"

This sentence was mainly shouted to Anshir, because he knew that Anshir would always devote part of his attention to his side.

Sure enough, Anshir noticed it. He paused his attack and glanced around.

There are enough people targeting the Styracosaurus's wounds, including the high-ranking shooters and crossbows in various turrets. One more person and one less person will not have much impact.

But if the thick black oil shell can really be melted by fire bombs, the help and improvement to the swordsmen will be very obvious.

He folded and put away his weapon, blew a whistle, and summoned the gale that wandered around the giant halberd for a long time, but couldn't find a place to bite.

Ji Ke [Shi Yu] is a heavy crossbow with strong versatility, but it is not without flaws. For example, this heavy crossbow cannot fire flame bombs.

He had to go back to the storage room, change into the dragon-slaying cannon, and bring a sufficient number of flame bombs.

It wasn't just Anshir who was temporarily out of battle, Hayatta also heard Gordon's words.

The keel oil covering the whole body of the giant halberd bothered every swordsman, including her of course.

The Dragon Sword [Red Lotus]'s dragon attribute energy intensity is indeed very high, but when the blade cannot break through the black oil armor and cannot touch the body of the Styracosaurus, the dragon attribute energy is difficult to trigger.

If the giant halberd lay down at this time, it would give her a chance to attack the wound on the chest, and even attack the internal organs through the wound.

The dragon attribute energy of the dragon knife [Red Lotus] is estimated to explode very exciting.

The problem is that Styracosaurus has been supporting its body with its wing claws and its head and chest are raised high, so the swordsmen cannot attack its vital points at all.

If you want the giant halberd to lie down, you have to find a way to injure and disable the wing claws that support its body, but the attacks of the swordsmen can't break through the defense of the black oil armor on the wing claws. This seems to be an endless loop .

Flame and high temperature may be the key to unlocking this cycle.

Instead of waiting for opportunities to come, it is better to find ways to create conditions.

"Fire weapon, is anyone ready?" Hayata withdrew his sword and retreated, and at the same time shouted at the swordsmen who were attacking the giant halberd.

Only Julius, the dual swordsman, responded to her, dodging the giant halberd's wing claw attack with a roundabout, and he shouted: "I have a male and female dragon twin flames (male and female fire dragons facing swords), in the storage room! "

"Take turns to go back and change clothes!" Gordon said loudly.

He regretted leaving his Fire Dragon Sword at the bottom of the box at the residence in Berna Village, otherwise there would be an extra fire-attribute weapon.

"Others continue to attack! It's okay if the attack is invalid, keep the attraction!"

"You go first." Julius whispered to Hariyata.

Hayata nodded, ran away, and went back to the Battle Street camp.

Julius, who was holding the twin swords of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, started to perform the Ghost Man Flurry, although the two swords in his hands couldn't effectively cut through the thick black oil armor.

However, the little dragon-attribute energy dissipated with the flurry of double blades can always have a slight effect, distracting the giant halberd dragon's attention.

Within 2 minutes, Anhil, who was the first to leave, came back riding Gale Wind.

For shooters who must change weapons and ammunition at the same time, this speed is simply exaggerated.

Although he didn't plan to use the combination of Dragon Slaying Cannon and Flame Bullets at first, but with his cautious personality of over-preparing everything, various attributes, various types of magazines and ammunition belts were prepared and packed in advance.

Put them in the lockers by category, so you can use them as soon as you grab them.

Facts have proved that there is no such thing as "overdose" in preparation. If you arrange everything carefully, it will come in handy one day.

Hayata's habit of carrying several swords with her wherever she went was also influenced by Anshir, and it also played a role at this time.

After returning to the camp, she quickly changed into the Flying Dragon Knife [Black Yao], and then returned to the battlefield without stopping.

At this time, Anshir had already launched an offensive, and the flame bombs landed on the left wing claw of the giant halberd one after another.

The violently burning crossbow bullets softened the keel oil on the wing claws, and as the attack continued, more and more black oil melted off, gradually revealing the dirty blue-black scales underneath.

And from the gaps in the scales, new keel oil is constantly seeping out.

Anshir had no choice but to lock that position and keep firing to ensure that the thickness of the keel oil was always kept at a low level.

Seeing that the softening tactics were taking effect, Gordon quickly approached the part where the keel oil fell off, picked up the sword, and began to accumulate strength.

His actions blocked Anshir's shooting range, but there was nothing he could do about it.

With the firepower and temperature of the flame bomb, the range of black oil that can be melted is really limited, which is the only window for the swordsmen to attack.

Anhir clicked his tongue, put his eyes close to the scope, and said to himself, "It's been a long time since I've done this. Don't blame me if you hit it crookedly."

A flame bomb flew towards Gordon's cheek, landed on the giant halberd's wing claw, and burned violently.

Gordon grinned.

This long-lost scrape.
