Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

(Today is still the first update orz. I was on the road but I came back. I should be able to resume normal updates starting tomorrow)

Gale had no objection to Hayata's decision, which was the most reasonable choice.

But wandering around in the area where an unknown high-danger monster is active is risky, so she took aim at these two local cats.

"Brother, ask them if they can show us the way."

After Sandstone conveyed Gale's meaning to the two Deters, they shook their heads rapidly.

Detel, who belongs to the playing family, has a gentle personality and loves music. At best, he is a pacifist who does not like fighting, and at worst, he is a group of cowards.

That monster is much scarier than Sakura Fire Dragon.

It is true that the Sakura Fire Dragon is very powerful, but a creature of the size of Detel is not in its diet. As long as it does not seek death and runs into the dragon's lair, there is generally no danger.

But that monster was different. It had already killed and devoured several of their clan members.

They can't even run away, so how can they dare to take the initiative to approach?

"Tell them that we are willing to provide them with food as payment." Gale tried to induce.

However, this almost invincible move against the orcs actually failed.

The two Deters said that they had no shortage of food when playing a group, whether it was coral polyp eggs, barnacles or swaying eels, they were all readily available delicacies.

Don't try to tempt us with food, meow! (New World Orc language)

Two Deters akimbo.

Hayata knelt down and was about to persuade the two Detels that they would keep them safe.

"Boom!" A loud noise sounded.

Countless shrapnel sliced ​​the tips of the Deters' ears and swept past, shattering the coral reef behind them into pieces.

In addition to the amazing power of lv3 shotguns at close range, the noise when fired is also terrifying.

The timid Deter was so frightened that he rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot. The other one was also shocked and sat down on the ground.

Gale raised her ferocious-looking [Hell Country of Thorn Crown] (a giant spinosaurus light crossbow, suitable for dispersion), blew the smoke from the muzzle, "Let it reorganize its language."

".Meow meow meow meow!!"

Even if there was no sandstone translator at this time, looking at the way the Deter nodded crazily, he knew what it was saying.

"Isn't it enough to do this earlier? You still have your hands on your hips, you're used to it." Gale snorted coldly and put away the crossbow.

Hayata: "."

Later, Gale used physical means to wake up the Deter who fainted from fright.

I saw the two Deters dodge their eyes, looking for an opportunity to slip away at any time.

She pointed to a piece of coral stone a hundred meters away with a smile, then put on the penetrating bullet, opened the scope and pulled the bolt and it shattered with one shot.

After that, the two Detels, who were carrying musical instruments made of conch shells, immediately became extremely obedient.

No one needs to rush you, just walk in front and lead the way.

If they pick up any rare medicinal materials or food on the way, they will bring them to them and "offer" them to Gale in a flattering manner.

Hayata didn't know for a moment whether she should talk to her or not. Considering that they really needed these two local guides right now, this might be the most direct way.

With the two Deters from the playing family leading the way, Hayata and his party speeded up a lot.

They know exactly where the cliffs are easier to pass, where there are vines for easy climbing, and where there are shortcuts.

After marching like this for dozens of minutes, a putrid smell of blood came with the wind.

The two Deters suddenly slowed down, their ears kept turning, and they shivered at the slightest movement. They looked very scared, but they didn't dare to stop.

He could only keep turning his head and looking at Gale pitifully.

Gale curled his lips and dusted his hands like flies, "Let's go, let's follow this bloody smell, we can all walk through it ourselves."

The two Deters were still hesitant.

Gale glared, "What are you doing? You want to stay and lead the charge?"

The two Deters looked at each other, and after confirming that Gale really planned to let them go, they immediately got down on all fours and ran wildly.

"Wait! Come back!" Gale shouted again.

The two Detel's feet came to a sudden stop, and they came back together with their whole bodies trembling.

"Take it for fun, don't say I bully you." Gale threw them a flash bomb and a sonic bomb, and asked Sandstone to tell them how to use it.

The Deters were a little surprised, looked at Gale cautiously, and left with three turns.

"Actually, you can let them go later, meow." Sandstone whispered.

It has no dissatisfaction with Gale's way of doing things. In the wild, it is natural for the weak to obey the orders of the strong.

"The wind players are very timid, but I heard that they have mastered playing skills that can be used to unleash the potential of musical instruments. It's not suitable for me, but Xianglan can learn it."

"Uh, like this?" Gale scratched his chin, "This time is not the right time. I will catch one next time I have a chance and let it teach Pandan."

"Good meow, good meow!"

"You can use a gentler approach next time." Hayata reminded with a headache, "Okay, we are probably very close to the fire dragon's body, and the monster is probably also nearby.

Ready for battle, I front Gale and behind, Pandan Sandstone pay attention to the sides and above. "

The team changed its formation and moved forward slowly.

As the smell of decaying corpses became stronger, the hunters also put on invisibility cloaks, and then moved forward stealthily under the cover of rocks and a small amount of vegetation.

Finally, they saw the Sakura Fire Dragon.

To be precise, it was the remaining corpse of the Sakura Fire Dragon.

Its belly had been hollowed out, and all the soft and nutritious internal organs had been eaten.

Other parts of the body are relatively tough and difficult to chew due to the presence of scaly carapace, so they are relatively well preserved.

At least it was confirmed that it was not the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The eating method of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was not so particular.

After Hayata ordered Gale and the two cats to guard the surrounding area, he came to the body and endured the pungent stench to inspect the body.

The death time has been relatively long. Considering the temperature and humidity here, it should be between a week and ten days.

The fatal injury was on the head and neck. The Sakura Fire Dragon had its throat bitten and suffocated to death.

In addition, there are many bite marks and claw marks on Sakura Fire Dragon's body. Judging from the size of these marks, the monster should not be too big, but the wounds are quite deep.

It's not like a sharp object scratched the cut, but like a hook tearing it apart.

"This is."

Hayata moved closer to the fatal bite mark on her neck. The scales on the edge of the bite mark turned black. She didn't pay much attention to this at first. After all, it was normal for the wound around a decaying corpse to turn black.

But if you look closely, you will find something strange. It is not the skin and flesh that are black, but the scales.

Horny scales don't rot that quickly.

Hayata pulled out the peeling knife and touched the scales, and found that the scales seemed to have been corroded and became very loose.

She re-examined the other wounds, and sure enough, almost all bite marks had similar conditions.

"No wonder, with the strength of Sakura Fire Dragon's scales, it can bite so deep. Are the scales corroded by acid? It doesn't look like it. It feels more brittle and more like dragon energy?" Hayata said to himself With.

"A monster that can attach dragon energy to its teeth?"

Several possibilities ran through Hayata's mind.

Without considering the ancient dragon species and unknown types of monsters, there should be two types of monsters that can bite the opponent and corrode it with dragon-type energy at the same time.

Terror Tyrannosaurus, and Infernosaurus.

The possibility of a Dino Tyrannosaurus has long been ruled out.

Prison Wolf Dragon? That kind of monster does have the ability to hunt Sakura Fire Dragon, and its dragon-type energy attacks are also very restrained against the Fire Dragon family.

But for the Prison Wolf Dragon, the size of these scars seems a bit smaller, and with the strength of the Prison Wolf Dragon, the fractured bones of the Sakura Fire Dragon should be much more serious.

It can't be a prison wolf dragon whose head hasn't grown up yet, right?

Hayata frowned and thought.

At this moment, an extremely sharp sense of threat came over him.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Above! Be careful!" Gale's warning sounded together with the sound of the ballista firing.

On the cliff next to it, a dark blue beast with terrifying claws and fangs pounced straight down.
