Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 1033 Falling from the sky.

Facing the Explosive Scale Dragon swooping down from low altitude, Gale's heart beat wildly.

 The most common way to deal with this kind of attack is to run in the direction of the monster's attack, and at the right time, swoop down and let the monster pass over your head.

Since it is difficult for the flying dragon to adjust its attitude in the final stage of the dive, this is generally safe.

 But the Explosive Scale Dragon is different.

　　Although its eyesight has not yet recovered, and this is not a purposeful dive attack, just a gliding crash landing, it still shakes itself out of habit.

  Explosive scales fell from under it one after another and hit the ground, leaving a dangerous path of constant explosions.

At this time, running towards the Explosive Scale Dragon and running under it was looking for an explosion. With no choice, Gale had no choice but to run sideways at full speed, hoping to avoid the Explosive Scale Dragon's emergency landing route.

She also deliberately chose the direction to the left of the Explosive Scale Dragon, because the right wing membrane of the Explosive Scale Dragon was damaged and the lift it could provide was weak, and the dive route was constantly tilting to the right.

 But she soon discovered that her choice was the opposite.

 The Exploding Scale Dragon, which has an excellent sense of balance, also noticed that its flying posture tilted to the right.

But it had difficulty judging its own height as its eyesight had not yet recovered, so it subconsciously flapped its right wing in an attempt to provide more lift and regain balance.

With this operation, its dive route suddenly turned to the left, and it looked as if it had locked onto Gale, and rushed straight towards her.

  “*!”

At this time, Gale couldn't help but panic. She stopped suddenly and tried to turn back in the opposite direction, but it was too late.

 At this time, a sharp whistle sounded.

 Getting the signal, the strong wind ran at full speed, passing by her like a flying boat.

Gail subconsciously reached out her hand and firmly grasped the saddle behind Gale. The pulling force generated by the huge speed difference almost prevented her from dislocating her head.

After all, the cooperation time was limited, and her "turning over dog" movement was not as skillful as that of the others in Yinbian. As a result, she ended up grabbing the saddle with her hands, and then she was hung by the gale and dragged all the way.

Although he was a little embarrassed, he finally escaped with the help of the strong wind.

The Exploding Scale Dragon fell to the ground, kicking up a large amount of earth, stone, smoke and dust. The Exploding Scales under and behind it even triggered a series of violent explosions.

If you fail to escape the range in time, you may be blown to pieces.

The rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Gale was unharmed. After the blasting flames took a break, they gathered around the blasting scale dragon again and launched a strong attack.

The gale's pace slowed down, and Gale also let go of his hand holding the saddle and rolled to the ground, his silver-blue **** leather armor covered in dust.

She smiled happily. Although she was a little embarrassed, she survived after all and was not even injured. What was there to complain about?

Stand up and jump up, hugging Lifeng's big head who turned around to check her condition, and gave the latter a hard "mua" on the tip of her nose.

 “Well done! I’ll treat you to Ansil later!”

 “Woof?”

On the other side, the Explosive Scale Dragon, which had successfully made an emergency landing, showed the strong vitality unique to large flying dragon species. Although its head was chopped with blood by the hunters, it still did not lose its fighting ability and stood up despite the attack.

It spread its wings and roared, the heat rose, and it entered the state of "red heat" again.

The swordsmen had no choice but to keep a little distance.

In this state, the explosive scales all over the body of the Explosive Scale Dragon are highly activated, like a bomb barrel with the safety pin removed, and it will explode if touched.

 Exchanging injuries for injuries is not cost-effective for hunters.

Anhil stretched out his hand to the last supernova hanging behind his waist.

 Find the right opportunity, detonate it in one breath, and clear away those red exploding scales. This exploding scale dragon is probably about the same.

Just as he was thinking this, an extremely strong sense of crisis struck from the air.

 The hunters, and even the furious Explosive Scale Dragon, all stopped and looked up.

　　Cruel, violent, destructive desire.

This feeling is somewhat similar to when facing the Angry Tyrannosaurus, but not exactly the same. Gordon stared intently at the extremely dark night sky before dawn. A dark figure that almost melted into the night was roaring and swooping down with undisguised malice.

 “Back off!” Gordon yelled.

The hunters all had a rough guess about the identity of the intruder. They put away their weapons without hesitation and retreated into the distance.

A trace of panic and fear flashed in the eyes of the Explosive Scale Dragon in the red-heated state, but its previous experience told it that simply escaping was useless, and fighting back was the only hope for survival.

Roaring towards the dark monster swooping down in the air, the Explosive Scale Dragon shook its glowing red scales, vibrated its wings and took off to meet the attack.

The attacking monster dived very fast. Just a few seconds after the Explosive Scale Dragon took off, and before it could gain enough speed to turn its huge body, the two collided hard.

With just one blow, the Explosive Scale Dragon was knocked back to the ground by the pitch-black monster that was no weaker than it. The two rolled and struggled with each other.

 The entire hill col trembled.

 “Gah ah ah ah!”

As if dissatisfied that the Explosive Scale Dragon dared to fight back, the dark monster roared angrily, raised its thick claws, and was about to claw at the opponent suppressed beneath it.

The Explosive Scale Dragon, which was already seriously injured and suffered another impact from the sky, was completely at a disadvantage, but its strong desire to survive stimulated it to launch a desperate counterattack.

Although its movements are relatively slow, its body length of more than 20 meters and its stout to somewhat bloated figure give it sufficient strength.

The Explosive Scale Dragon roared and raised its body, swung its wing claws to lift the dark monster away, and then pressed directly on it.

 The sharp bone spines all over the body of the dark monster were deeply inserted into the body of the Explosive Scale Dragon. The severe pain completely aroused the ferocity of the Explosive Scale Dragon. It howled wildly and directly detonated the explosive scales under its body.

Dozens of exploding scales clung to the body of the dark monster and exploded.

 The continuous flash of fire almost lit up the night sky.

This is a terrifying attack that can seriously injure or even kill a large monster in an instant. Such a large number of explosive scales will cut off a layer of the mountain top even if it lands on it.

No matter how powerful the pitch-black monster is, it cannot survive this self-destructive attack unscathed. The broken bone spines flew in all directions and even penetrated deeply into the solid rock formations.

　　It leaned back and took a few steps away, loosening its grip on the Explosive Scale Dragon.

The Exploding Scale Dragon, which was already very weak, immediately flapped its wings and tried to take off. It was unclear whether it was going to take advantage of the opportunity to slip away or take advantage of its height to counterattack.

 But no matter which choice it was, the dark monster didn't give it a chance.

It shook its body covered with scorched black marks and raised its head to stare at the Exploding Scale Dragon that had climbed thirty or forty meters into the air.

 “Hoo ga ga ga ga!”

Amidst the furious roar, the thick limbs of the dark monster suddenly exerted force.

It didn't even use the broad dragon wings behind it, and jumped to a height equivalent to that of the Explosive Scale Dragon. Its sharp claws swung into the latter's wings, grabbing it and pulling it back to the ground.

The Explosive Scale Dragon fell to the ground again. The dark monster no longer gave it a chance to struggle. It raised one of its front paws high and then swung it down suddenly.

With this claw, the head of the struggling Explosive Scale Dragon was smashed to the ground, and large cracks suddenly appeared on the hard basalt ground.

 The body of the Explosive Scale Dragon convulsed violently, and large streams of blood spurted out from its mouth and nose.

"Roar!!"

The pitch-black monster roared wildly and swatted it down with one claw.

Amidst the ear-piercing sound of bones shattering, the head of the Explosive Scale Dragon was smashed open, and its brains mixed with blood splattered everywhere.

The lifeless body twitched twice, and finally became completely silent.

 “Gah, ah, ah, ah, ah—!” The dark monster looked up to the sky and let out a roar declaring victory.

　　Then, its eyes turned and stared at Gordon, who was trying to escape from the battlefield.
