Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 468 It Hurts, It Hurts so Much!

After withstanding the tail strike of the Explosive Hammer Dragon, Shui Yun returned to her shield-raising posture with an expressionless face. She did not rush forward immediately, but observed the movements of the Explosive Hammer Dragon through the edge of the shield.

The 360-degree turn of the Explosive Hammer Dragon was not just a tail strike, it also threw out several gunpowder rocks at the same time.

One of them landed not far from Shui Yun.

Shui Yun also noticed this from the corner of her eye, but the gunpowder rock did not have the tendency to explode for the time being, so she did not pay too much attention to it, but just kept a little bit of attention.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon stared with its small eyes, and after a brief look at Shui Yun, it took heavy steps and rushed up with a low roar.

If it was Ted, he would definitely rush forward with a roar at this time, and collide with the Explosive Hammer Dragon before the speed of the Explosive Hammer Dragon increased, but Shui Yun calmly chose to retreat.

Because she noticed that the Explosive Hammer Dragon's sight was offset for a moment, and its target was probably the gunpowder rock not far away.

Although she had never hunted the Explosive Hammer Dragon herself, as the poster girl of the Yanhuo Village Assembly Hall, she had a deep understanding of most types of monsters.

She could roughly guess what the Explosive Hammer Dragon wanted to do.

Therefore, while retreating, she never put down the big shield in her hand.

When the Explosive Hammer Dragon rushed to the gunpowder rock, Shui Yun had already steadily retreated five or six meters away, which was still not enough.

But she couldn't get much distance by retreating further, so she stopped and went directly into a defensive posture.

This time, her posture was slightly different from before. The big shield stood vertically, and while maintaining her body stable, she shrank behind the shield.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon raised its chin like a giant hammer and smashed it down on the gunpowder rock.

"Boom!"

The loud sound comparable to the detonation of a barrel bomb echoed in the cave.

Under the hammer of the Explosive Hammer Dragon, the energy of the gunpowder rock was instantly released, and the explosion power was increased to the maximum. The explosive rubble swept around with the shock wave.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon, which was covered with countless layers of metalized hard shells on its chin, was not injured, but was also lifted up by the shock wave.

Shui Yun, who was several meters away, was blown away with her shield.

An Xier, who was far away, continued to shoot while carefully observing Shui Yun's movements, wanting to see what Shui Yun would do in this situation. Feng Ying might be able to refer to it.

However, Shui Yun in mid-air had no intention of landing and taking action.

Instead, she suddenly opened the large shield in her right hand, and a Kinsect flew out from behind the shield, pulling her back to her body posture while leaping forward in the air.

With the inertia of the leap, she instantly crossed the distance of less than ten meters between her and the Explosive Hammer Dragon, and came to the front of the Explosive Hammer Dragon, which had not yet recovered its body posture, and stabbed forward with the long spear in her left hand.

This is a technique called "flowing thrust". Due to the special nature and regionality of Kinsects, this move can only be mastered by the long spear users in the Land of Fire.

An Xier was a little dumbfounded. This move seemed to have no reference value.

Because the Explosive Hammer Dragon raised its body, revealing the relatively weak chest and abdomen of its shell, the spear stabbed deep.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon roared, stabilized its body, and smashed its huge jaws towards Shui Yun in front of it.

After landing, Shui Yun took the time to stab with a spear, adjusted her rhythm and posture, and then immediately took a small step back, and entered a defensive posture again.

The Explosive Hammer Dragon's chin fell across the shield, cracking the ground and shaking the earth.

Shui Yun, who was knocked back, was unharmed. With the support of the shield, she didn't even shake her feet. Seeing that the Explosive Hammer Dragon fell into a stiffness after the smash, she immediately leaped forward and took a big step, stabbing with her spear.

Flying and stabbing!

The spear landed on the flat face of the Explosive Hammer Dragon, poking it and making it step back two steps.

"Hey!"

Huoya seized the opportunity and threw a Kinsect into the air. With the help of the insect silk, she jumped to a height of five or six meters.

At the same time, she pulled the bowstring continuously and shot two rounds of arrows from a high position.

Flying kick shot!

She has not yet fully mastered this move. It is said that a powerful bow hunter can calmly shoot three rounds of arrows while ensuring strength and accuracy, instead of just two rounds like her.

These arrows have limited damage to the thick-skinned and tough Explosive Hammer Dragon, but under the sudden pain, it staggered slightly.

In order to maintain the balance of its huge body, the huge tail that always hung low behind its buttocks swung to the side.

This was a tiny flaw that was inconspicuous, and was caught by Hilda who was wandering behind the Explosive Hammer Dragon.

She drew the fuse of the Dragon Arrow at the fastest speed, and used the inertia of the sliding step to accelerate the accumulation of power. In less than one second and less than two seconds, she completed the preparation of the Dragon Arrow.

The thick arrow whizzed out, piercing the vital point of the back of the Explosive Hammer Dragon, which temporarily lost the protection of its giant tail.

It might sound a bit disgusting.

When facing a monster like the Explosive Hammer Dragon with a thick shell and amazing defense, the eyes, mouth, and back, these weaknesses without shell protection, are the top priority targets for archers.

The dragon arrow penetrated the body of the Explosive Hammer Dragon without any hindrance. The Explosive Hammer Dragon suddenly straightened up as if it had been electrocuted, and let out a painful howl like a landslide.

Some tiny stalactites on the top of the cave fell down with this roar.

Ansel couldn't help but grin.

It's hard to say which is more cruel, like him, to slowly grind the monster to death by continuous shooting, or like Instructor Hilda, waiting for the opportunity to hit the monster's vulnerable parts.

This is probably the difference between stabbing it with a toothpick a hundred times and hitting it from behind with a fork.

In any case, Instructor Hilda's arrow definitely hit the Violent Dragon hard.

"Woof! Woof!"

Amber, who had been conserving her energy and had not participated in the battle since the beginning, suddenly shouted towards a cave entrance.

This was the agreed warning signal.

——A large monster is approaching.

The hunters immediately slowed down the pace of the attack and paid some attention to the cave entrance.

Not long after, a huge spider covered with snow-white spider silk stepped out of the cave entrance.

It's the Concubine Spider!

"Fire Bud!" Hilda reminded.

"Got it!"

Fire Bud waved at Amber, who rushed over quickly and didn't even slow down when passing by Fire Bud.

The latter, who often rode the Fang Hound, ran a few steps, turned over and jumped onto Amber's back. The man and the dog turned around and rushed towards the Concubine Spider who was approaching here.

After getting away from the Blast Hammer Dragon for a distance, Huoya patted her chest, "Little guy, it's up to you!"

"Meow!"

A furry little head popped out of Huoya's collar, and the Smoke Weasel climbed onto Huoya's shoulder, clinging to her clothes with its little claws.

A large ball of snow-white gas gushed out from the glands in its abdomen, enveloping Huoya.

Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters

As they approached, Fei Spider's eight eyes were firmly locked on Huoya.

"Now!" Huoya, who was lying on Amber's back, shouted softly.

Amber suddenly leaned over, her sharp claws scratching the ground, and while turning sharply, she cleverly avoided the attack of Fei Spider's chelicerae, and drilled into the hole where Fei Spider came from.

Fei Spider screamed, moved her limbs and turned around, chasing Huoya and the others, and disappeared into the hole.
