Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 1027 Red Heat

Rushing to the front of the Explosive Scale Dragon, almost less than five meters away, Gale raised his hand and fired a shot.

This is the distance where the shotgun is most powerful.

Before countless small shrapnel could fly away, they all fell into a small circle of only three or four square meters, just covering the head of the Explosive Scale Dragon.

Sparks flew everywhere, the shrapnel shot on the scales were bounced off, and the shrapnel that fell between the gaps in the scales sank into it, splashing blood.

Facts have proved that the hunters' carefully crafted crossbow shells are much more powerful than the crude shells of the strange-faced people. Under this shot, the head of the Explosive Scale Dragon was blown slightly off.

It also attracted its attention back.

"Roar!" It roared, opened its mouth and pounced forward to bite.

Perhaps because the glands in the chest and neck are dense and appear particularly enlarged, the Explosive Scale Dragon's movements seem to be relatively slow.

After Gale fired the first shot, he did not greedily cut the knife, and immediately retreated, easily avoiding the attack.

First, it was besieged by the strange-faced people and its feeding was interrupted. It finally broke the encirclement and was about to start chasing, but was stopped by the hunter.

The Explosive Scale Dragon was getting more and more angry. It took a deep breath and roared at Gale in front of it, which was slightly similar to the roar of an elephant, but much louder.

Although the roar was harsh, it was far from the level of the Booming Dragon that could deafen people if they didn't cover their ears.

"Roar at you!"

Gale raised the muzzle slightly and fired back two more shots in succession.

The completely enraged Explosive Scale Dragon shone with a scorching red light like semi-molten metal.

The oval-shaped explosive scales hanging under its body also emitted an orange-red light, as if they would explode in the next second.

Gale ran away, and his vigilance was raised to the highest level.

The investigation team had "dealt with" the Explosive Scale Dragon many times, and the information about this monster was also quite detailed.

This state of emitting a high-heat red light is called "red heat", and the explosive scales in this state have been fully activated.

Just like a bomb with the safety pin pulled out, a slight touch will cause a violent explosion.

The explosive scale dragon in this state is the most difficult to deal with.

Indeed, its not sharp claws and slightly bloated body make it not very threatening in close combat. Experienced hunters can easily avoid its bites, pounces and other attacks.

However, in the red heat state, the situation is completely different.

Those activated explosive scales will fall to the ground at any time, causing a violent explosion, and its pounces and other attacks will also cause large-scale explosions.

At this time, it is like a walking gunpowder depot. As long as you are around it, you are almost always under the threat of the explosive scale explosion.

"Keep your distance!" Ansel shouted to remind Gale.

He was afraid that this guy would get too excited and rush right under the eyes of the Explosion Scale Dragon. With the defensive performance of her Kirin suit, if the elf protection was not triggered, she would be seriously injured by any aftermath of the explosion.

Fortunately, although Gale often rushed like a strange-faced tribe, a shooter who only rushed without thinking would never be able to be promoted to seven stars alive.

Of course, she knew the danger of those red-hot explosions, and immediately pulled the relative distance to about 20 meters.

At this distance, the power of the shotgun was obviously weakened, and the dispersion of the shrapnel would also be greatly spread, but she continued to fire while moving flexibly.

After all, she was "guest-starring" as the vanguard, shouldering the responsibility of restraining the monsters. On the premise of ensuring her own safety, she must maintain the attraction as much as possible.

But this attraction dispersed quickly. After all, compared with the shotgun whose power was weakened due to the distance, the precise sniper threat of the heavy crossbowman was greater.

The Explosion Scale Dragon roared and turned to look at Ansir. Gale was about to take the risk of rushing closer to forcefully attract the former's attention.

Sandstone jumped out and blew the horn to attract the monsters' attention.

Gale's face changed. Sandstone, who was good at using the protective shield, could withstand the attacks of many large monsters, but he had no good way to deal with the explosive dragon that was constantly causing violent explosions.

Did that guy get angry too?

Gale quickly changed the magazine and approached in a roundabout way, ready to support Sandstone at any time, but found that Sandstone did not lose his composure as she worried.

It did not even take the protective shield from behind it, but put down a provocative doll and turned around and ran.

The leather dummy, which was more than one person tall, quickly inflated and swelled, twisting and shaking its body, as if it was dancing a strange dance.

The explosive dragon's attention immediately shifted to the dummy. It roared and raised its body, and the explosive scales hanging under its neck became more and more red.

Using its wing claws to support its body, it rushed forward a few steps and pounced on the provocative dummy.

The provocative dummy, which was essentially a large scare box, could not move and was crushed by the Explosive Dragon.

Violent explosions continued to occur under it, and even the surrounding ground shook violently.

When the Explosive Dragon stood up again with its wing claws, the provocative dummy had turned into a pile of charred and broken fragments.

"My dummy meow!" Sandstone howled.

This thing is not easy to make. In order to cover the retreat, I threw one to the Corpse Dragon. The one in my hand was just made not long ago, but it was completely scrapped after the first use.

"I'll make it for you later!"

Gale turned his head and shouted: "Supernova!"

They were all experienced shooters, and their judgments on the battle situation were actually similar.

Before Gale could warn him, Ansir had already loaded the supernova into the crossbow. When the Exploding Scale Dragon raised its body, revealing a large area of ​​unexploded scales, he pulled the trigger.

The thick crossbow bullet turned into a line of fire, and in a blink of an eye it reached the raised chest and neck of the Exploding Scale Dragon.

The next second, a huge golden-red fireball enveloped the body of the Exploding Scale Dragon, and the blast wind threw it backwards, and a tragic roar echoed in the cave.

However, the effect of this supernova was far more than that.

The impact and high temperature of the explosion stimulated the already highly activated scales.

Almost at the same time, the scales were detonated together, blowing the Exploding Scale Dragon to the ground.

The Exploding Scale Dragon, which was suddenly severely injured, kept struggling, and the red light on its body gradually dissipated. It was actually directly blown out of the red-hot state.

Perhaps this can be considered as "explosion", or perhaps it is more appropriate to say "sacrifice explosion"?

"Neh, it's really awesome!" Gale cheered, "Can you modify your supernova so that we can use a light crossbow to enjoy the taste of heavy firepower?!"

Anshil raised his mouth, "You wish!"

"Tsk, stingy guy!"

The Explosive Scale Dragon was bloated and had a burst, so it was difficult to get up for a while. This was the best opportunity to attack!

Gale and Anshil, who had developed some tacit understanding, loaded their crossbows with armor-piercing grenades and diffusion bombs respectively.

"Fire!"

Gale, who was faster at changing bullets, pulled the trigger continuously, and the armor-piercing grenades were nailed to the forehead of the Explosive Scale Dragon one after another.

Pork Chop, who tried to approach and attack, screamed and retreated. This place couldn't stay any longer.

Amid the unique whistling sound of the projectile crossbow, the powerful lv3 diffusion bomb fell from the sky, and the scattered fragmented bombs turned into countless red lotuses, once again covering the Explosive Scale Dragon.

Although this kind of explosive attack will not be very effective against the Explosive Scale Dragon, that is only relative. The most important thing is that this guy is lying down, so he should use a few rounds of armor-piercing grenades and diffusion bombs.

"Attack the wings!" Master Yuanye reminded from a distance.

Ansir and Gale immediately turned the muzzle of the gun, and the crosshairs shifted from the head to the wings.

The trunk covered with explosive glands is of course resistant to this kind of attack, but the wings may not be.

There will be no explosive scales on the dragon's wings!
