Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 994 Urine Bifurcations

"That move again! Find cover!!" Gordon roared loudly.

Is the monster called the Water Demon Bird in front of me considered very powerful?

To be honest, it's hard to talk about it. Speed, strength, reaction, combat IQ, etc. are not outstanding. Compared with the original poisonous demon bird or the big strange bird, it is only a little stronger.

However, the high-pressure water blade attack ejected from the glands at the mouth and tail end directly increases its danger by several levels.

There are many monsters that have the ability to spray high-pressure water jets, from crustaceans like the Daimyo Shield Crab to General Scythe Crab, to water dragons, bubble fox dragons, to ancient dragons such as the Arashi Dragon, and so on.

There is no difference in the essence of this type of water flow attack. The power of the attack depends entirely on the water pressure.

The water (bubble) breath of the Daimyo Shield Crab can be firmly blocked by a well-equipped heavy-armed avant-garde shield, while the water breath of the Arashiryu can cut through even rocks.

As for the water demon bird, it cannot be compared with the mist dragon, but its attack strength is not only stronger than those two carapace species, it is even stronger than the five-star dangerous fox dragon.

The most troublesome thing is the duration of the attack.

Since the high-pressure water breath will spray out a huge amount of stored water in a very short period of time, even a large monster like the Bubble Fox Dragon with an average body length of more than 20 meters can only breathe for three to four seconds.

And the water demon bird

The longest time of a water jet can even reach ten seconds, and there are many tricks.

Spray straight from the mouth, sweep the spray from the tail, fly in the air with the tail swinging and spray randomly, and even stuff the head into the coral bed, while using the mouth to take in the water, while using the tail to spray continuously.

It can be said that the water flow attack is played to its full potential.

The last two attacks are the most difficult to deal with. On the one hand, the attack duration is long, and the path of the attack is also very unstable.

The flexible tail swung wildly, and it was difficult to predict where the water blade would sweep in the next second. If a strong enough cover could not be found, it would be very dangerous.

Fortunately, there were enough coral reefs nearby. Gordon flew to a low reef and huddled up to hide.

"Ziga——!"

With a harsh sound like a grinding wheel cutting metal, water spray and gravel splashed, and the rock where Gordon was hiding was hit by the water blade.

Fortunately, the water blade only swept past, and the relatively strong coral reef was not shattered instantly, allowing Gordon to escape.

After a few short and long seconds of waiting, the sound of the water blade's firing finally stopped, and the water demon bird hovering in the air and spraying water gasped and fell back to the ground.

The continuous spray of water made it very tired, and its movements became much slower.

Gordon and Ancil immediately rushed out from their respective bunkers.

Even Ancil, who didn't like close combat, rushed to the water demon bird with Gordon holding a heavy crossbow.

The water blade attack has an extremely long range, and the water demon bird only needs to move its head or tail slightly to cover a very large area with its attack.

This makes dodging attacks from long distances exponentially more difficult.

Ancil had no choice but to hold on to the fierce moment [Shigure], which was not very suitable for close combat, and charge bravely.

"Its water storage should be running low. Don't give it another chance to drink water!" Anhil immediately entered the crouching and firing posture after approaching with the sliding shovel, and fired continuously.

Although it was extremely risky to squat and shoot from such a close distance, he knew that Gordon would not let the water demon bird have the time to deal with him.

Gordon quickly rushed to the side of the water demon bird's head, drew his sword and slashed it with one blow.

The water demon bird, whose movements had become much slower due to fatigue, was unable to dodge and was slashed by the sword.

Although it was not charging, the powerful force carried by the inscription sword still made it stagger. The surprisingly sharp blade easily broke through the protection of its feathers and scales, and opened a bloody wound on the side of its neck.

Gordon rolled and adjusted his position, then shouldered the sword and entered the charging posture.

The enemy was right in front of him, and the water demon bird subconsciously opened its broad, toad-like beak and bit the hunter.

Gordon lowered his center of gravity and took the blow quite easily with precise defense skills. After using the power of the monster's attack to instantly complete the charge preparation, he slashed back with a single fully charged slash.

Ever since he mastered the "one-stop stance", he has become more and more fond of getting in front of monsters.

Attacks such as breath attacks cannot be dealt with head-on. Monsters with particularly outstanding muscular strength such as the Tyrannosaurus and the Demon must be extra careful. Naturally, they must be more cautious when fighting ancient dragons.

In addition to these, he can "reflect" most monster attacks in this way.

This astonishingly powerful sword almost knocked the water demon bird directly to the ground. Stimulated by the severe pain, the parts of the gill sacs that were not covered by feathers turned red, and the emerald green eyes were stained with blood.

It was furious.

But neither Gordon nor Ancil had any intention of stopping their attack and avoiding the edge temporarily.

The water reserve was on the verge of being exhausted, and the water demon bird, which could no longer use its water blade breath frequently, was no threat to the two of them.

Out of caution, I didn't chase it very close, so it ran to the waterbed coral to replenish water, causing a lot of trouble.

They won't make the same mistake again.

Under the fast-paced attack of the two men, the water demon bird suffered more and more wounds.

It screamed and turned around, flicking its soft annelid-like tail, temporarily forcing the hunters around it back.

Then he fluttered his wings and pulled away some distance, opened his mouth and let out another torrent of breath.

Gordon and Ansil immediately ran in separate directions, so that at least one of them could easily avoid the range of the breath, and then quickly attack the water monster bird, interrupt the breath, and cover the other person.

However, the water monster bird played a new trick.

It used its purple tongue to disturb the water flow, and the water column was actually divided into two, and swept to both sides in two streams.

"*!"

Gordon saw that he could not escape, so he immediately stopped and raised his greatsword, entering a defensive posture.

Ansil slid to the ground and dodged the attack.

"Zi——!"

The water flow swept across the sword, and the huge impact pushed Gordon back several meters.

Perhaps it was because the breath was divided into two, the power was reduced, and it was also because the inscription sword had a compact structure and solid material, which was particularly suitable for blocking (defense +60).

Although he was repelled by the water flow, Gordon's defensive posture remained very stable.

After releasing the defensive posture, Gordon and Ansil were about to get close to the target again, but the water monster bird flapped its wings again and tried to take off.

"Pork Chop!" Gordon reminded loudly.

"Understood, meow!"

Pork Chop immediately triggered the stop insect cage that had been placed in advance, and a strong flash of light burst out.

"Jijia——!"

The water monster bird, which was dizzy under the strong light, screamed and fell. It instinctively accelerated and flapped its wings, but it had completely lost its sense of balance and could not maintain its flying posture at all.

After flying around for a few seconds, it fell diagonally.

However, it was not known whether it was too lucky or some people's luck was too bad, the falling water monster bird actually fell into a piece of water bed coral not far away.

The soft skin of the water bed coral was broken, and most of the body of the water monster bird was directly trapped in it.

Gordon and Ansel looked at each other, and then ran forward at the same time.

Damn, this guy should be full again.
