Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"I'm going to chop up that bunch of rotten bananas!" Feng Ying was really angry.

Underage girls are more likely to be emotional. When they see beautiful things being ruined, it is inevitable that they will not be able to control their anger.

"calm."

Anshir reminded, "We will hunt it down, don't get on it."

Fengying took a deep breath, "I understand."

Over there, Gordon, who had confirmed the traces, stood up, "Fengying, I'll let you lead the way. The difficulty should be very low this time."

Fengying nodded, carefully observed the footprints left by the purple water beast, and after confirming the direction in which the latter left, she quickly moved forward.

Hayata was behind her, keeping a distance of several meters.

In this way, Fengying will not be disturbed, and in case of an accident, she can provide timely support.

As an amphibious monster, the traces left by the purple water beast are very obvious.

Not to mention the footprints, its plump belly and the huge spongy water storage organ at the neck will leave obvious drag marks on the soft mud.

Even in areas with hard soil, the venom dripping along the road is the best guide.

There are actually many monsters with poisonous glands, such as Red Velociraptor, Poison Dog Dragon, Fire Dragon, etc., but most of these monsters only use their venom for hunting or fighting against enemies.

Few monsters spill their venom so pointlessly as the purple water beast.

Scholars of the Scholars team found after investigation that the purple water beast is not actually an independent species, and even strictly speaking, they are not even considered a "subspecies".

They are mutated water beast individuals. In the spongy organs used for water storage, poisonous glands capable of secreting highly toxic have developed, which also makes the large amount of water stored in the spongy matter infected with highly toxic.

The spongy substance is the organ used by water beasts to keep their bodies moist, but for purple water beasts, it is no longer water but venom to keep their bodies moist.

In fact, it is not difficult to find out that the purple color on the body of the purple water beast is the color of the venom, and the parts that are not soaked by the venom are bright yellow like ordinary water beasts.

As for why the purple water beast cannot become an independent species, the key also lies in the venom.

Aquatic animals live in groups, and the small monster aquatic animals that can often be seen around them are actually females in the group.

They will also be poisoned to death by the venom of the purple water beast...

In other words, the purple water beast has no chance to mate with the aquatic beast and pass on the gene.

This is why water beasts are always surrounded by wives and concubines, but purple water beasts can only act alone.

"It's a bit miserable to think about it this way. Being single is so psychologically distorted, it's right to take revenge on nature." Gordon muttered, recalling the ecological information of the purple water beast.

"What are you mumbling about..."

Anshir, who was walking not far in front of Gordon, looked back at him speechlessly.

Suddenly, Feng Ying, who was walking at the front of the team and was in charge of leading the way, raised her hand.

The entire team stopped advancing immediately.

"What did you find?" Gordon stepped forward and asked.

At this time, they came to a pebble river beach, and in front of them was a waist-deep, gentle stream.

"It crawled into the stream."

Fengying stared at the traces that disappeared beside the stream, her expression was a bit tangled, "The bottom of the stream is full of pebbles, and there are no footprints left."

"How about using your brain?"

Fengying held her head in her hands and thought hard for a long time, then said with a mournful face, "I think...it's hard to think..."

Gordon: "..."

Hayata on the side suggested, "Perhaps, you can check the fish and shrimp in the water?"

Gordon and Anshir looked at each other, and both sighed.

Both girls lack experience.

"This is running water. Even if the purple water beast poisons the fish in this section of the river, after the venom is diluted, it won't be long before fish from upstream and downstream will swim over."

Gordon explained while walking upstream for a while.

Fengying Hayatta obediently followed, while Anshir held up the heavy crossbow to guard Gordon's temporary teaching.

Gordon rummaged by the stream for a while, and dug out a few snails from under the large pebbles. After looking at them, they were alive.

Fengying and Hayata were stunned. They trotted all the way and went downstream. They also turned over a few big rocks. The snails and shellfish they saw were either dead, and even if they weren't dead, they didn't look very alive.

"It's going downstream!" Fengying cheered.

Gordon didn't bother to preach any more. These are the results of accumulated experience. After hunting for a long time, they will naturally be able to.

In exchange for Changshi, an old hunter like Liangxiong who has hunted for most of his life here may not need to turn over stones with his hands, and he can find some details that they didn't notice with a glance.

The team set off again, walked along the stream for a few kilometers, and finally found the purple water beast.

It was dozing off leisurely lying on the stream, and streams of purple venom continuously seeped out from the spongy organs on its head and neck, merged into the stream, and flowed down.

There are no fish and shrimp in the surrounding river section, they have been overwhelmed by the poison and washed downstream.

Such a scene made the hunters' teeth itch.

After briefly checking the surrounding environment and confirming that there are no other monsters nearby, Gordon said: "It's not convenient to fight in the stream, Anshir, lure it out."

"Master Gordon, sleepless cut?" Feng Ying asked with blinking eyes.

The monster is sleeping.

Gordon's face turned black when he heard it, "Didn't you see that the water is purple? Do you want me to be poisoned by going to the water?"

"oh!"

"Get ready for battle." Anshir pulled the bolt and loaded it, and after reminding his companions, he started shooting.

"Bang! Bang!"

The flame bomb exploded on the rotten banana-like spongy organ of the purple water beast, and the venom splashed in the flashing flames.

Awakened from sleep, the purple water beast twisted its body and got up. It looked around, and after noticing the hunters on the riverside, it let out an angry roar.

It hates fire the most.

Gordon glanced at Fengying calmly from the corner of his eye.

Gordon was satisfied when he found that the little girl picked up the sword and shield, but she was only protecting Anshir, and didn't intend to rush directly.

At this time, the purple water beast had already left the stream, climbed up to the river bank, twisted its fat body from side to side, and attacked here.

The movement looks clumsy, but the speed is not slow.

Gordon and Hariyata exchanged glances, and rushed up together.

As usual, Gordon pushed the monster from the front, while Hayatta made a detour to the side of the monster to conduct a guerrilla attack.

Gordon, who rushed straight in front of the monster, swung his sword with a drawn sword, while the purple water beast showed surprising flexibility at this time.

It shrank its head and neck, dodging the preemptive blow.

The attack failed, and Gordon didn't care, his tactical goal had been achieved - the purple water beast's footsteps were stopped.

Watching the movement of the purple water beast carefully, Gordon continued to take a big step forward, twisting his waist and swinging his arms at the same time, and slashed out with a big sword.

The heavy sword [Wang Hu] with a very forward center of gravity showed amazing power under the blessing of the user's strong arms.

The claw blade composed of Honglong's minions popped out of the sword body, and the nail was inserted into the side face of the purple water beast.

As the great sword continued to swing, the claw blade tore open the wound, and smashed the latter's head to the side.

"Hey!"

Gordon grinned, "Who says it's hard to control, isn't this kind of hand feeling very exciting!"
