Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Xunlong is not the kind of monster that is good at defense.

Their evolutionary direction belongs to the extreme specialization of speed and lurking. Not only do they not have a thick and solid carapace covering their bodies, but even most of their scales have turned into non-reflective jet black hair.

The head, which is the main weak point, even the hair is very thin and short, so it can't withstand the close-up shooting of shotguns.

When the shotguns from a magazine were fired, Anshir was ready for the suppressive fire to stop and the monster to fight back.

Unexpectedly, Xunlong not only did not take the opportunity to attack, but took advantage of the gap to leap backward and take the initiative to distance himself.

The smile on the corner of Anshir's mouth became more obvious.

Quickly replace the flame bomb magazine, continue to lock on the head of Xunlong, and shoot continuously.

Xunlong kept turning his head sideways, trying to avoid those annoying sparks, but no matter how he dodged, the crossbow bullets would hit accurately.

It roared irritably, raised its forelimbs to block the vital parts of its head and chest, and at the same time raised its long tail high and flicked it.

Although Anshir didn't know exactly what Xunlong was going to do, it was always right to be cautious at such a time. There happened to be a thick tree nearby, and he rolled sideways and hid behind the tree.

"Duo duo!"

There was a series of muffled sounds of sharp tools being nailed into hard objects, and even the big tree where Anshir was hiding trembled slightly.

Anshir looked out.

Dozens of cone-shaped thorns covered the area where he was standing just now, and the one nailed to the tree didn't penetrate nearly half of the trunk.

The kind of attack that killed Linglu?

This kind of attack is enough to penetrate his sickle crab armor and cause serious damage to him. If it hits a vital point, he may be seriously injured or even killed instantly.

However, this kind of attack requires preparation time. The movement of Xunlong flicking his tail should be accumulating energy.

In this case, it will be much easier to handle.

Anshir changed the magazine, took a deep breath, pulled the crossbow bolt and rushed out, firing continuously while running quickly.

It's impossible to hit Xunlong's head accurately every time in this way, and Anshir doesn't care, as long as the flame bomb can fall on Xunlong's body.

Facing the outcropping hunter, Xunlong began to swing his long tail again, and the sharp thorns shot out again. Anshir managed to hide behind another big tree before the thorns hit him.

Then leaned out half of his body again and continued to shoot.

Xunlong was completely irritated by Anshir's hide-and-seek fighting style.

It flew to the big tree where Anshir was hiding, spread its bladed wings and long tail, and spun around in place.

Anshir quickly fell to the ground.

There was a "creaking" noise, including the big tree beside him, several large and small trees were broken and smashed by their roots, and the wood chips and fallen leaves were scattered in all directions.

As a result, the dense canopy that shaded the sun opened up a large area, and the sun shone down along the gap and fell on Xunlong.

Xunlong shook his body irritably, and jumped back into the shadow of the tree.

Hate the sun so much? So flash bombs should work too?

Anshir had a new tactical plan in mind.

He folded and stowed the heavy crossbow, and ran towards the direction away from Xunlong. At the same time, he kept looking back sideways, confirming Xunlong's movements from the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, Xunlong, like many beasts that like to sneak up and attack, likes to pounce on its prey from behind.

As soon as he turned around, Xunlong immediately tensed his limbs, looking eager to try.

Just before Xunlong was about to pounce, Anshir suddenly turned around and threw out a sonic bomb that had already pulled the trigger.

The timing of the burst of high-frequency noise was just right.

Xunlong, who was halfway through the jump, twitched and fell to the ground again.

Anshir, who had been prepared for a long time, deployed the heavy crossbow in an instant, and the flame bullets were pulled into a line of fire, bombarding Xunlong's head one after another.

The jet-black hair on the face of this dragon head is almost bald by him.

The harsh noise, the annoying firelight and high temperature, the severe pain, and the annoyance of being teased made the Xunlong who got up from the ground fall into a state of rage again.

It howled frantically, its limbs crazily grabbed the ground, and launched one of the most primitive, direct, and most threatening attack methods that any monster can master.

- Collision.

Or, as hunters are more used to saying, 'dragon cart'.

Anshir unhurriedly took out the flash bomb and threw it at the rushing Xunlong.

A burst of light.

In a state of anger, Xunlong with dilated pupils was immediately blinded by the strong light and fell into a state of confusion.

Anshir took the opportunity to shoot continuously.

However, Xunlong in the chaotic state behaved more aggressively than he imagined.

Before he finished shooting half of the magazine, Xunlong roared wildly and rushed towards him, but the angle of the attack was not very accurate, and Anshir easily avoided the attack .

How does Xunlong position itself? hearing? Or the pain of being attacked? Anshir didn't have time to think about it.

If you are in an open area, it would be very dangerous to continue firing at this time.

But this is deep in a dense forest where giant trees flourish.

Anshir quickly moved behind an extraordinarily thick giant tree, and under the cover of the giant tree, he fired at the rushing dragon again.

If it goes well, it may be able to lure Xunlong into a tree.

It's a pity that Anshir still took it for granted.

This is the home ground where Xunlong lives. Even though it lost its vision, it still seems to retain some special senses or intuition.

At the moment when it was about to hit the thick tree trunk, it suddenly changed its posture, stretched its limbs forward and pushed on the tree trunk, jumped backwards and landed steadily, as dexterously as an Ellu cat.

After landing, Xunlong shook his head, his sight gradually recovered, and finally escaped from the impact of the flash bomb.

It exhaled white steam between its mouth and nose, and it was obviously extremely angry.

Just when Anshir planned to use these giant trees as obstacles to fight guerrillas with Xunlong in circles.

The giant beast jumped up suddenly, but it didn't go directly towards the hunter, but leaped onto the crown of a giant tree.

Anshir raised his head with the heavy ballista in his hand, trying to lock Xunlong.

But the speed of the Xunlong on the canopy of the tree was frighteningly fast, and it turned into a dark shadow while jumping, and two scarlet lights dragged out drifting afterglow on the retina.

Tried to fire two shots, but both fell into the empty space.

Anshir simply folded and put away the heavy crossbow, the muscles of his legs were slightly tensed, ready to deal with any attack at any time.

Suddenly, Xunlong launched an offensive.

It quickly jumped a few times between several big trees, disturbing Anshir's judgment, and then quickly fell from the side and rear, with sharp claws and bladed wings, sweeping towards it.

This time the attack range was very large, and Anshir had no other choice but to dodge by swooping to one side.

The sharp sound of blade wings tearing the air whistled behind his ears, and Anshir didn't dare to get up after landing, and rolled desperately.

Xunlong has been preparing for such a surprise attack for so long, it will definitely not be as simple as just one move!

As he expected, after the blade wings and sharp claws swung into the air, Xunlong immediately adjusted his movements, and at the same time he threw his long tail down vertically.

On the originally smooth long tail, spiky scales spread out, like a huge mace, almost turning Anshir into a tattered corpse.

Anshir turned over in fear and stood up.

But it was found that the spine-like scales on the Xunlong's long tail were actually embedded in the soil and stuck on the ground.
