Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

The airship finally landed outside the hunter's camp at the southern foot of the volcano.

Not to mention that they are still unable to determine the location of the temporary camp, even if they can determine it, it is impossible to directly land the airship there.

Commercial airships do not have any defense capabilities. Sufficient flying altitude is the only means for them to protect themselves. It is too risky to land in a hunting ground inhabited by many large monsters.

After landing in the camp, Hilda, the captain, gave the order.

——Delay hunting and spend two to three days for various preparations.

They will split up temporarily.

Hilda herself will go deep into the lava cave alone, find out the location of the target hammer dragon, and the concubine spider and armored dragon that may have appeared, and roughly confirm their range of activities.

This is very critical.

If you can avoid the activity area of ​​​​large monsters other than the target in advance, you may be able to avoid random entry incidents.

Fengying brought Amber with Anshir. Their main purpose was twofold, one was to find a temporary camp, and the other was to collect killing dragon fruits.

No one can predict the situation after the hunting is over, and there is a possibility that many people are injured and need to rush back to the stronghold for first aid.

It's better to do things like collection beforehand.

More than two days passed by in a flash.

That night, three people and a dog gathered around the bonfire in the hunter camp, sharing the discoveries and achievements of the past two days.

Hilda spread out the map that ordinary people would feel dazzled even just looking at it, and said: "This map actually describes the terrain in great detail and is very accurate.

The reason why it looks messy is because the two maps are superimposed together. "

"Two maps?" Fengying asked suspiciously.

"Well, the scale of this volcano is not comparable to the giant volcanoes like the Latio Volcanic Mountains, but the terrain is quite complicated.

From the outside, it looks like several mountain peaks connected together, while inside the mountain, there are large and small caves with vertical and horizontal traffic. "

Hilda's fingers were drawn on the map, "These areas describe the exterior of the mountain, or the terrain on the volcano.

And here, and here, are the interior of the volcano, which is the so-called 'lava cave'. "

Feng Ying and An Xier understood.

In the past two days, they have basically walked through the first floor, which is the area on the volcano. It is because they have not entered the mountain that they feel that the map looks messy.

"Let's talk about the situation of the monster again. I found the Explosive Hammer Dragon, and its active area is here, which is the middle of the lava cave.

I have also witnessed the concubine spider. It is here, northeast of the lava cave. The distance between the two is still relatively far, but I can't be completely relieved.

This concubine spider likes to run around very much, and the real activity area should be very large. "

"Why do you say that?" Anshir asked.

Hilda pointed out several locations on the map, "Here, here, and here, I found traces of the spider.

It should be the result of concubine spiders giving birth everywhere. "

"So that's it, Instructor Hilda, have you found the location of Kailong?"

"No."

Hilda rubbed her forehead in distress, "The Kailong isn't very active by nature, and it would sometimes burrow into the ground or even magma to rest, but I didn't find it.

My findings are roughly these. By the way, the temperature in the lava cave is very high, so remember to bring more cold drinks. "

"Understood, let's talk about our situation. First of all, we have collected seven dragon fruits, but we don't know if they are enough."

An Xier said, and gave Fengying a look.

Fengying immediately took out the dark red, round, hard fruits from the bag.

Hilda checked the fruits, "The quality is good, but seven may not be enough, everyone should pay more attention to it and collect as many as possible."

"Okay! Amber has already remembered the smell of this fruit, so if you pass by in the future, you shouldn't miss it."

"Wow!"

"There is also the issue of temporary camps."

Anshir pointed to the map, "We found one of them, it is indeed on a ridge, at this location."

Hilda glanced at it, nodded and said: "Is it between the sixth district and the seventh district, this location is good, and the straight-line distance from the area where the Hammer Dragon is active is not too far.

The only question is, are there any entrances and exits to the mountain nearby? "

"some."

"That's good."

Hilda nodded in satisfaction, "It doesn't matter if we don't find another temporary camp, we will use this temporary camp as our base for activities.

Is the security of the camp okay? "

"It's okay. On a steep hill, small monsters probably can't jump up. There is a circle of stone walls around the camp. It should be excavated by the ancestors. Unfortunately, there is no roof and it is open to the air."

According to Anshir, who is cautious, only a camp surrounded by a solid mountain can be called "safe".

"That's not bad. Don't ask too much. How big is the temporary camp?" Hilda asked.

"About thirty square meters, it's quite small." Fengying recalled.

"That's good."

Hilda smiled and said to Anshir: "You are just worried that some flying dragon monsters will attack from the air, don't worry, they won't.

Large flying dragons would not land in such a small place, they could not stretch their wings, and it would be very troublesome to land and take off. This should be the role of the stone wall.

As for monsters that are small enough, such as pterosaurs, would you worry about them? "

"Too."

Anshir smiled and felt relieved, "Besides, we found that the 'life force' of this volcano is much stronger than that of Latio Volcano.

We saw a lot of heat-resistant plants, and small monsters are also very common, poisonous dog dragon, wild boar, giant bee, pterosaur"

"I also saw a huge red-armored beast!" Feng Ying raised her hand to add.

"Yes, all in all, we didn't find too dangerous creatures. Compared with the lava cave where high-risk monsters gather, it's like two worlds."

Hilda smiled and said: "It's not surprising, you will find out in the future, the harsher the environment, the stronger the monsters will be.

It's a bit far-fetched, and the next step is the specific hunting plan, which is actually not too complicated. "

Hilda checked the map and continued: "Tomorrow we will set off with as much ammunition and supplies as possible to the temporary camp, well, let's call it Camp No. 2, and we are now at Camp No. 1.

An Xier, each of us carries two basic numbers of ammunition, Xiao Fengying needs to work harder, and you and Hu Po are assigned to bring three basic numbers of crossbow shells, arrows and strong bottles.

If there are a total of five base ammunition, it is definitely enough to hunt the Hammer Dragon alone, and it will be a bit reluctant to add a large monster, but our target is only the Hammer Dragon, and other large monsters can be driven away. "

"OK."

"Leave the hard work to me!" Feng Ying flexed her arms, which were not much flesh, full of confidence.

"Wow!"

Hilda couldn't help but rubbed Fengying's head, and continued: "Store the extra ammunition and supplies in the No. 2 camp, and we can set off lightly.

It's not difficult to hunt the Hammer Dragon itself, the problem is to avoid contact with other large monsters as much as possible.

Therefore, my plan is to drive the Hammer Dragon to the west, away from the area where the concubine spider is located, and at the same time approach Camp No. 2, so that it will be more convenient to resupply ammunition.

Of course, this is the most ideal situation. "

Speaking of this, Hilda's expression became more serious, "If other large monsters appear during the battle with the Hammer Dragon, don't panic, I will lure them away.

An Xier, even if you don't consider Xiao Fengying's combat power, you should be able to hunt the Hammer Dragon alone, right? "

"That's natural."

After Anshir nodded seriously, he hesitated for a while and asked, "What should we do if there is an extreme situation where three large monsters gather together?"

"Retreat immediately."

Hilda replied without hesitation: "If that happens, Fengying will ride away on Amber, and then Anshir, I will cover you."
