Chapter 991 I Envy Their Collusion
In this round of direct confrontation, the hunter had the upper hand.
Hayata stopped the unknown monster without any injury, and a wound was cut on the forehead of the dark blue monster by the strong air blade.
In the beast's eyes that exuded dragon attribute energy, a trace of human fear flashed.
Hayata was the opposite. After this confrontation, her confidence doubled.
The attack of the monster in front of her was very dangerous. The claws with ferocious claws could easily tear flesh and blood, and the fangs wrapped with dragon attribute energy could bite the Sakura Fire Dragon to death. Once hit, the result of serious injury was considered good.
But its shortcomings were also very obvious.
- Body shape.
Body shape cannot represent everything, but it can also represent a lot.
Just like the Qilin, which was jokingly called the "shame of ancient dragons" by some upper-level hunters because of the most hunting records.
If it had a body shape like Bobo, why not try it again? To have a giant beast, that is Thor.
The monster with huge body, thick skin and amazing strength is what Hayata least wants to face. Not to mention the extreme case of super giant ancient dragon, she also hates the tail hammer dragon!
One sword down, only fat can be seen.
This guy in front of her is different. Its body is about the same as that of a herbivorous dragon. It is not like a golden lion that can stimulate muscles through electric current and burst out amazing power that is inconsistent with its body size.
In this case, her best precision defense has a place to use!
Hayata, who has the upper hand in momentum, took the initiative to launch an offensive, and the slender golden blade chopped at the vital part of the head of the dark blue monster continuously.
However, the dark blue monster obviously would not be willing to be suppressed.
It roared, its muscles were tense, relying on its tough keratin skin to withstand the hunter's attack, and the dragon attribute energy emanating from the corner of its mouth became brighter and brighter.
Obviously, it was preparing for some more powerful attack.
Hayata was highly focused. While maintaining her offensive, she held back a bit, ready to counterattack with a miki or a slash of the air blade at any time.
At this moment, a series of loud noises came from the side of the monster.
Gale, who had sneaked around the side and back of the monster, launched a fierce attack.
She held the crossbow and slowly approached, pulling the trigger every time she took a step. Shotgun fragments swept like a rainstorm, splashing countless blood on the hind legs and tail of the dark blue monster.
[The Hell of the Crown of Thorns] (Giant Halberd Dragon) is not a versatile light crossbow. It cannot be loaded with any kind of attribute bullet.
But as a substitute, its loading capacity when loading shotgun and penetrating bullets is quite exaggerated.
Few light crossbows can be loaded with eight lv3 shotguns at a time. Such a loading capacity gives this light crossbow an extremely amazing fire suppression capability.
The powerful kinetic energy carried by the fragments made each shotgun like an invisible heavy hammer. With the roar of the crossbow, it hit the waist and legs of the dark blue monster again and again.
The disadvantages of small size and light weight appeared again.
If the same attack fell on a monster like the armored dragon with a huge body and thick shell, it would probably not even move.
The monster in front of him, which was more dangerous (by human standards), could not withstand a few shots. Under the continuous bombardment of shotguns, its center of gravity was destroyed. Not only was the attack interrupted, but it almost fell to the ground.
"Well done!" Hayata couldn't help but shout Gordon's catchphrase.
Gail laughed.
After the last shotgun in the magazine was loaded into the crossbow chamber, she did not rush to fire, but began to change the bullet.
Hayata simultaneously stepped up the rhythm of the attack.
When the shooter changes the magazine, the suppressive firepower will inevitably be interrupted. At this time, the swordsman must step up the suppression, otherwise the monster is likely to take advantage of the situation to counterattack.
The two cooperated well, but they underestimated the "toughness" of the monster in front of them.
The blue monster, which was about to be suppressed by the swordsman and the archer, suddenly exploded.
He let Hayata's air blade slash several wounds on his head and neck.
The blue monster exerted force on its front limbs, and while turning back to escape from Hayata, it adjusted its posture and landed, opening its bloody mouth to pounce on Gale who was reloading not far away.
"It's over!"
Hayata's heart tightened and he chased after him.
As a swordsman and the vanguard of this two-person team, she had to hold the monster back and buy time for her archer companion to open a safe distance.
Facing the attacking monster, Gale did not seem nervous. The shotgun in her crossbow was used to prevent this situation.
But Hayata, who was chasing after the monster, made her hesitate for a moment.
Firing shotguns at this angle could easily injure companions by mistake.
So she changed her strategy, speeding up her retreat while keeping the shotgun, ready to fire when the monster got close to her.
In order to protect Gale, Hayata chased the monster, but Gale didn't dare to fire for fear of accidentally hurting Hayata.
Both of them had no problem with their judgment, but they didn't cooperate enough times, and their tacit understanding had not yet reached the level of "collusion" like Gordon Anhill.
And the cunning monster seized this inconspicuous opportunity.
The monster that was about to pounce on Gale suddenly turned around, gave up the shooter in front of him, and swept Hayata behind him with its huge tail covered with sharp thorns.
Caught off guard, Hayata had to roll on the ground to avoid it.
The blue monster that finally seized this opportunity would naturally not give up so easily.
It raised its claws and slapped Hayata, who had no time to get up.
This action was small and fast.
It had a very high combat IQ and had no intention of killing the hunter with one strike.
At this time, the speed of attack was more important than the force. The hunter could not stand up after continuous claw strikes, and would eventually be defeated.
In the face of such a dangerous situation, it would be difficult for Hayata to escape by herself, but fortunately she was not fighting alone.
This was the most critical role of companions and hunting partners.
Xianglan was about to throw a flash bomb to forcibly interrupt the attack of the blue monster, but someone was faster than it.
"Meow!"
Sandstone, carrying the protective shield, screamed, jumped in front of Hayata, and held up the shield to block the claw.
Then, it blew the horn in its mouth hard, and the sharp "beep" sound disturbed the blue monster, and it swung its claws on the protective shield again.
Under the continuous attack of the monster, Sandstone kept retreating, but it still tried to maintain the stability of its defensive posture.
Hayata took the opportunity to stand up, and Gale, who was relieved, quickly changed the bullets, and the crossbow roared again.
"Thank you!"
Hayata also took back the position of vanguard and said thank you.
Unlike his usual calm appearance, Sandstone, who blocked the monster's attack, was quite excited.
It left his hometown and started traveling with the hunters just for this!
"Don't worry, meow! Leave the job of covering the shooter to me, meow!" Sandstone raised his shield high.
"Then you meow, come to my side!" Gale fired and cursed, "You said you would cover me, but the first one to help me was not Hayata!?"
"Here I am, meow! I was just a little uncomfortable just now and didn't react, meow!"
Hayata exhaled lightly, and suddenly felt that her hands and feet were completely free.
In fact, there is no need to stare at and cover Gale, she has her own means.
Even if there is an accident, Sandstone will be her insurance.
Then, attack with all your strength!
(The more I write, the more uncomfortable I feel - I feel dizzy and my skin is tingling. I took my temperature and it's 38.7. I don't think I have influenza A. I'll go to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow. I'll take a day off tomorrow. Everyone, remember to wear a mask when you go out. It's numb.)
