Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"Wow, what is that?!"

Fengying exclaimed in a low voice, and she couldn't help asking An Xier: "That round thing is just that big, and its power is comparable to a big barrel bomb!"

"That's Gunpowder Rock."

"Why does the Hammer Dragon have this kind of thing?"

An Xier, who had similar amazement and doubts as Feng Ying, glanced at her and explained: "The Hammer Dragon likes to eat metal ore, and the flammable and explosive substances mixed in the ore are extracted and condensed through their digestive system. Gunpowder rock was formed.

At the beginning, Gordon and I thought it was the excrement of the Saxonosaur, but after reading the latest research report, we realized that it was the glandular secretion of the Saxatrix. "

"Earwax, eyewax, booger? Hey! It's so disgusting!"

"...You can't help but think about those things." An Xier said helplessly looking at Feng Ying who was full of disgust.

"But that thing explodes when you touch it, how can you collect it?"

"Actually, it's not as sensitive as you think. The gunpowder rock will not detonate out of thin air, otherwise the Hammer Dragon will be killed." Anshir explained, "Enough impact, high temperature, if any of these two conditions are met, the gunpowder will explode." The rock will be detonated.

Just now, the Explosive Hammer Dragon threw the gunpowder rock on the Kailong who had just come out of the magma, and it would explode immediately.

So be careful when handling it later, and handle it with care, especially in the area where the ground is red hot right now, you must never put it on the ground, otherwise it will explode in a while.

Oh, by the way, that thing is a bit hot, and it will burn you if you hold it for a long time, so be careful. "

"Oh, I see!"

On the banks of the lava lake, the battle between the two volcanic behemoths continues.

Seeing that Gunpowder Rock's attack effect was good, Explosive Hammer Dragon threw out a few more bombs, causing Kailong to roar.

But it still refused to leave the magma lake, and fought "close combat" with the blast hammer dragon.

The armored dragon's hand-to-hand combat ability is certainly not weak, but the explosive hammer dragon is obviously stronger in this respect. The compact body structure and terrifying muscle mass of the beast dragon species endow it with amazing strength.

If it is entangled in close quarters, the giant steel hammer-like jaw of the Explosive Hammer Dragon is likely to crack and break the rock armor of the Kailong Dragon. This is very troublesome for the latter, so it wants to avoid it as much as possible.

As a result, Kailong straightened his body, ready to launch the high-temperature breath called "flaming cannon" by the hunters again.

However, at this moment, a flash bomb was thrown in front of Kailong.

A strong light burst out, and the dizzy Kailong roared, shaking his head non-stop, and the preparation for breathing was also interrupted.

Anshir and Fengying looked at Hilda in surprise.

The two of them didn't throw the flashbang, and Amber couldn't use the flashbang, so it was only Hilda.

Sure enough, Hilda had already rushed out from behind the rock where she was hiding. She opened her bow and set an arrow, and quickly shot an arrow at the side of Kailong's face.

This arrow was not a dragon's arrow, nor did it have the power to fully draw the bow. The arrow's power was very average, and it couldn't break through the protection of the rock armor on Kailong's face at all.

She did this obviously only to distract Kailong's attention. Although the latter's eyesight had not yet recovered, he subconsciously turned to the direction of the attack.

She took out an arrow again, and shouted at the same time: "Anxier lures the blaster dragon away, and takes it to another area. I will wrap the armored dragon and separate them!"

Knowing that her order was very abrupt, and worried that Anshir and the others would hesitate, Hilda added a loud explanation, "The Kailong is unwilling to go ashore to fight hand-to-hand, and the Hammer Dragon can only keep throwing the gunpowder rock. Exhausted!"

Anshir was stunned, and immediately unfolded the Mithril rifle, pointing at the Hammer Dragon.

No matter how many gunpowder rocks there are, they can't withstand the blasting hammer dragon's throwing a few pieces at a time, and they don't know the location of the blasting hammer dragon's lair. Even if they know, they are not sure whether there are more gunpowder rocks left in the blasting hammer dragon's lair.

If you don't get enough gunpowder rocks in this trip, even if you hunt the Hammer Dragon, the mission will still fail, and it will seriously affect the follow-up missions.

They can't be allowed to continue fighting like this!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

One after another, the water-cooled bullets were fired close from the side, and bombarded the relatively vulnerable flank of the Hammer Dragon.

Rapid fire from a squatting position. After quickly emptying one magazine, Anshir changed the magazine and continued to fire rapidly.

The Hammer Dragon's attention was finally drawn.

Anshir didn't get up immediately, but adjusted the pointing of the muzzle, aimed at the Blasthammer and turned to his face, and emptied the remaining bullets in the magazine again, then folded and put away the ballista, turned and fled.

"amber!"

Anshir yelled, and Amber sprinted obediently, threw Anshir on the ground and started running wildly.

The amber running at full speed is extremely fast, and the distance between the Hammer Dragon and them is rapidly widening. Realizing that he can't catch up with the target with his legs, the Hammer Dragon curled up and started rolling again.

On the other side, Hilda continued to use arrows to shoot at relatively vulnerable places such as the mouth, eyes, and nose of the armored dragon, leading it to another direction.

Feng Ying, who was left alone and the dogs ran away with the people, was confused for a moment.

Who am I, where am I, what am I supposed to do now?

"Go help Anshir!"

Hilda, who was leading Kailong away, noticed Fengying's hesitation, and said loudly: "Get rid of the Hammer Dragon as soon as possible, I will take Kailong to a farther place, and I will come back to you later!"

"good!"

Feng Ying, who had a target, poured down a bottle of forced medicine, and ran towards the direction where Anshir and Hammer Dragon left.

At the same time, he kept muttering in his heart that he would have to find a way to find a toothhound partner for Anshir in the future, so that he would not always come to grab his amber ride.

"Amber! Go in that direction!" Anshir, who put his body on Amber's back and lowered the wind resistance, indicated the direction.

He wasn't familiar with the lava cave's topography, but he had the map memorized.

Continue walking in this direction, and after passing through two relatively narrow caves, you will come to a dark cave.

It's not like here, it's full of magma.

The most important thing is that the terrain is relatively broken, and there is a gap between the heights. The Hammer Dragon cannot roll over there. It is more friendly to shooters like myself and suitable for mobile warfare.

After leaving the flat and wide area, the speed of the blast hammer dragon's rolling slowed down significantly.

Anshir also ordered Huber to reduce the speed appropriately, so as not to completely shake off the Hammer Dragon.

They wandered around in the complex lava cave like this. Anshir was glad that he had the habit of memorizing maps so that he didn't get lost.

Finally, they came to the dark cave of the target.

Anshir and Amber, who entered the cave, took a deep breath at the same time. The temperature here is at least ten degrees lower than those in caves full of magma.

Finally, I can breathe well without worrying about the hot air burning my throat.

"Rumble——!"

The ground shook slightly, and the sound of giant rolling came from the corridor behind him.

The Hammer Dragon is about to catch up.

Anshir quickly glanced around, and pointed to a stepped rock platform in the distance, "Huber, go there, let's climb up there, and snipe the Hammer Dragon from above!"

"Wow!"

Amber accelerated her steps and quickly climbed up to the stone platform with Anshir on her back.

"Good job Amber."

Following Fengying's example, Anshir patted Amber's neck, while sighing inwardly at the convenience of the tooth hound.

If it was up to him, he would probably have to crawl on both hands and feet for a while, how could he come up with a "swish" like now?

Anshir, who came to the top of the stone platform, was about to deploy the heavy crossbow, but some kind of creature that was slowly crawling here made his face change.

It was a "little" spider that looked round and about half the height of a person, wrapped in thick silk threads.

"Chen Spider"
