Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

During the slow journey of the cargo airship to the ruins plain, Gordon and Mr. Isa had a lot of chats and learned a lot.

Scholars see things differently than hunters, but information and intelligence are common.

For example, Mr. Isa told Gordon that although the electric dragon and the fire dragon belong to the same family of flying dragons, their bones are relatively slender. Their hind legs are not as strong as the fire dragon, and they cannot grab heavy prey and fly like the fire dragon.

But relatively, they are lighter in body, with well-developed and sharp wings and claws, and have outstanding flying ability. They can even fly higher and faster than the male fire dragon of the "King of the Sky".

Hearing this passage, Gordon heard that he had no strength in his hind legs, and it was estimated that there would be relatively few ground battles, and there was a high probability that he would not pounce on the enemy from top to bottom like a fire dragon.

As an alternative is superior flying ability, well-developed wings and claws? Afraid to make good use of wings to attack

This information made Gordon slightly modify the battle plan. If possible, he planned to deal with the power-down dragon first. For swordsmen, monsters good at flying are always troublesome.

In comparison, female fire dragons are much easier to deal with, and the title of "Queen of the Earth" does not have much deterrent effect on high-ranking hunters.

I just hope that the two guys don't cooperate passionately. If they attack at the same time, it will still be a bit of a headache.

When the airship came to the ruins plain and approached the hunter camp, Piggy found Mr. Isa.

It prepared quite a lot of flash bombs and planned to distribute some to Mr. Issa, but it didn't expect that Issa was much more prepared than they thought.

In addition to the invisibility clothing, he brought a lot of binoculars, forced medicine, flash bombs, and fertilizer bombs. He even prepared paralysis traps. A member of the scribes who went into the field alone might not carry so many items.

Gordon suddenly realized that his judgment should be correct. Even if he firmly rejected Issa and did not take him to observe the target, this guy would probably run out by himself.

Perhaps, this is the scholar.

"Pig chop, watch him closely then."

". I understand meow."

As the airship descended into the clouds, the vast ruins plain appeared in front of everyone.

The airbag was huge and complex, and the porter, which looked a bit bloated overall, began to descend, but it did not land directly on the ground, but hovered tens of meters above the hunter camp.

Several thick cables fixed it on the mountain near the camp to prevent it from being blown away by the occasional strong wind on the ruins plain.

After falling to the ground through the zipline, Gordon looked up at the airship in the sky, "Is this all right? But there are two large flying dragons inhabiting this area."

Isa's landing action was also very agile. He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's really dangerous for a small airship less than ten meters long to hover in the air for a long time. Flying dragons that regard the sky as their territory are very likely to attack. Knock it down.

But the 'porter' is a heavy cargo airship, and even a violent large flying dragon will not attack an opponent that is several times its size at will.

There are also several heavy-duty bed crossbows installed on the airship, in case it is really attacked, it also has the ability to fight back and protect itself.

Monsters soaring in the air rarely choose to fight to the death. If they get entangled and fall, they will die, so there is basically no need to worry about the electric dragon and fire dragon attacking an airship of the size of the 'porter'. "

"That's it." Gordon nodded knowingly.

He had personally experienced the incident of Tianhuilong attacking the Longshi ship, but it was because Tianhuilong was extremely angry and hated humans at the time.

And that's an ancient dragon, not a flying dragon.

"Of course, the more important factor is that the airbag refilling and discharging process of heavy cargo airships is relatively complicated, and the special gas used is also quite expensive."

"Okay, I see." Gordon grinned, skipping the subject.

He unfolded the map and pointed at a rather high mountain, "When you flew over from the sky before, you said that the dragon's nest is located in the fifth district in the northeast direction, right?"

"It should be." Mr. Issa pushed his glasses that were about to fall off the bridge of his nose, "To be precise, the mountain terrain in District Five is too suitable for flying dragons to build their nests.

As the 'kings' of the nearby area, the electric dragon and the female fire dragon have no reason to build the dragon's nest elsewhere.

If other more powerful flying dragon species invaded and successfully became the new lord of the nearby area, there would be a high probability that they would also choose to build their nests on that mountain. "

Looking at the dense contour lines on the map, Gordon was speechless.

Ruins plain, right? You call this plain, right?

"This road doesn't look very easy. It should take about three hours to get there one way, even if it goes well." Gordon estimated the distance.

Pork chops seemed a bit awkward.

With such a long distance, it will escort Issa back to the camp and run back. Will it really be in time for the battle? Gordon faced two large flying dragons alone, which was somewhat dangerous.

Isa saw Zhu Chop's concerns, and said quickly: "There's no need to send me back to the camp, no, no, I don't mean to make trouble, look here."

Yisa pointed to a location further to the east on the map, "There is a small closed cave here, the only entrance and exit is a narrow stone crevice, you can only get in sideways, monsters can't get in at all.

You can leave me here and take me back to the camp after the battle is over. "

Gordon looked at the location on the map, and then glanced at the middle-aged scholar, thinking that this guy should not be talking nonsense about such a matter of life.

"That's it, take the time to rest. We set off in the middle of the night and arrive at the dragon's nest before the early morning. The electric dragon and the female fire dragon should also be diurnal, and they should still be dormant in the dragon's nest at this time.

If the battle is resolved before noon, there is no need to go back to the camp at that time. How about firing a signal flare to notify the porter to fly over, recover the anesthetized two flying dragons, and then return? "

"Is this considered a tactical arrangement?!" Issa asked with a look of astonishment.

"This is the itinerary."

...

Two people and one cat walk through the mountains and valleys of the ruins plain.

Gordon sighed for the umpteenth time: Do you call this a plain?

Fortunately, Mr. Isa's legs and feet are really agile. It seems that he once stayed in the Paleontology Scholars team, and often went out in the wild.

In the wild, without a good body and hard feet, you can't keep up with the pace of hunters.

The bright starlight melted into the sky, replaced by the color of iron gray, dawn is coming.

The journey from the camp to the dragon's nest can be said to be safe and sound.

There was only one time when I encountered a dog dragon alone, but that dog dragon seemed to be afraid of Gordon's size, turned around and ran away, which surprised Isa, an animal behaviorist.

Dragon's Nest is located at the top of a mountain.

The jagged boulders surround the top of the mountain, forming a structure similar to a "broken bowl". For large flying dragons, it is not only convenient for access, but also sheltered from wind and rain. It is indeed a very good nesting place.

Gordon grabbed Isa who couldn't wait, and didn't rush to climb up to the dragon's nest on the top of the mountain, but let the pig chop go to scout the road first.

Within a few minutes, the pork chop ran back with an obviously weird expression on it.

"How is it? Are the electric dragon and the female fire dragon in the dragon's lair?" Issa was obviously more eager than Gordon.

Pig Chop scratched his ears, "Meowing, two dragons are sleeping next to each other, sweet meowing."

"Strange thing," Gordon muttered.

"I gonna go see!"

Without saying a word, Issa climbed to the top of the mountain, and the thick glasses seemed to be shining.
