Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 141: The fallen king of the sky

Chapter 141 The Falling King of the Sky

Although the male and female fire dragons of the flying dragon species have higher IQs than ordinary beasts, they are still far from the level of intelligent creatures such as humans or orcs.

Facing the continuous harassment of shotguns, the female fire dragon quickly forgot her original purpose of supporting the male fire dragon and ran away with Ancil.

The seriously injured Fire Dragon was stopped by Gordon.

Facing the fire dragon's eyes that turned red again, Gordon could feel the anger in its heart—although it was heavily injured, it was more dangerous than before.

Out of a subtle mentality that Gordon himself couldn't explain, maybe it was respect for the strong, maybe it was a challenge to himself, or of course it could just be a sense of superiority.

Gordon gave up his previous clumsy tactics of getting under the dragon's body, or attacking its **** around the blind corner, and instead stood in front of the dragon.

 At least in the end, he wanted to have a head-to-head fight with the Fire Dragon.

Looking at the hunter who raised his sword in front of him, the male fire dragon roared, opened his huge mouth and pounced on him.

Gordon took a step away, and the raised sword hit the male Fire Dragon's hard chin. With a clang, the Explosive Knife Kai bounced high, and even Gordon himself couldn't help but step back. step.

 In terms of strength, the Fire Dragon has an absolute advantage.

Gordon grinned, but had no intention of flinching. His arms were numb, so he held the sword hilt tighter and continued to attack!

Bite, flap its wings, and tear with its claws. Gordon dodged or blocked several consecutive attacks from the Fire Dragon, so it began to inhale.

As the male fire dragon raised its neck and expanded its chest, Gordon knew that it was getting ready to breathe.

 This was not an attack that could be blocked with strength or skill. He immediately put away his weapon and started running.

The Fire Dragon's breath was faster this time than before, because what it breathed was not a solidified fireball, but a stream of flames mixed with gunpowder smoke.

Naturally, the flames cannot explode tens of meters away like a fireball, but as the male fire dragon's head swings, the hot flames and smoke cover a large area in front of it, and can easily scorch the flesh and blood covered in it.

Gordon's early reaction saved his life again. Before the breath started, he successfully ran out of the range of the flame breath. The afterglow of the flames burned his back, feeling burning, maybe a burn, but it was relatively minor.

This is due to the excellent fire resistance of the strange bird suit. If he still wears the previous ore suit to hunt the male fire dragon, he will probably get a large blister on his back.

After drinking a bottle of recovery potion with some annoyance, Gordon rushed forward again and slashed at the neck of the fire dragon with his blade.

The Fire Dragon, which had just finished breathing, seemed a little tired and endured the blow, but then it waved its dragon wings and knocked Gordon back. We were locked in a protracted battle between one man and one dragon.

 Supposedly, this is a good thing for hunters

 Humans’ learning ability far exceeds that of monsters. After gradually becoming familiar with monsters’ attack patterns, the hunter’s probability of injury will drop sharply.

Gordon is in such a state now. With a slight movement of the Fire Dragon, he can roughly guess the opponent's next action, and he can almost guess it.

Continue like this, as long as you don't make any mistakes, you will be able to steadily hunt the Fire Dragon in one or two hours at most.

 But he doesn’t have so much time now.

In order to help him win the chance to deal with the Fire Dragon, Anhil is being chased around by his wife. This has to be a slow and protracted battle. What if the young master is eaten up and wiped clean by his wife first? !

In order to open up the situation, Gordon had to change his tactics. He even started to try a technique that he had only heard about before but never actually practiced.

  —prejudgment.

Most creatures, including fire dragons and even humans, have a habit.

 In battle, you will subconsciously confront your opponent.

This sounds like nonsense, but it is actually related to the physiological structure of living things-the front is the place with the clearest view, and it is also the position where teeth and limbs are easiest to reach.

 This habit rooted in the subconscious will also become an important basis for Gordon to predict the actions of the Fire Dragon.

He tried to get diagonally in front of the Fire Dragon and started charging directly. The Fire Dragon turned to him and bit out. Gordon quickly stopped charging and rolled to dodge.

Although the attack failed, Gordon felt confident.

 “The location is not very good.”

After muttering silently, Gordon adjusted his position. This time he came directly to the side of the male fire dragon, at the edge of his sight, and launched a charging posture.

The Fire Dragon turned around and flapped its wings, interrupting his energy accumulation again.

 “Tsk, there’s something wrong with the timing this time.”

Gordon continued to make adjustments, until one time, after he had just dodged a dragon wing swing from the Fire Dragon, he immediately entered a charging posture.

In order to see him clearly from the front, and to bite more conveniently, Gordon turned his head. Gordon, who had just completed three stages of charging, watched as the Fire Dragon moved its head closer to the attack range of the big sword.

"It's now!"

Gordon's pupils shrank, he exhaled and exerted force, and then slashed down with the explosive knife that accumulated the power to the limit.

The sharp claw blade accurately cut into the broken part of the carapace of the male Salamander's head, tearing the flesh and blood until it was stuck by the skull.

 Great swords are different from light weapons such as double knives.

 The inertial force carried by the heavy sword that sacrificed speed for power was not wasted at all. Like a giant hammer, it smashed the head of the male fire dragon to the ground.

“Ha! Is this what you call ‘waiting for the monster to put its head under the sword’?”

Gordon felt as if he had glimpsed a glimpse of the swordsmanship of the strong swordsmen. As long as he continued along this path, the way he used charged slashes would undergo earth-shaking changes.

 And his strength will also rise to another level!

 Slash with strong charge!

Full of expectations for the future, Gordon did not stop moving his hands. While the Fire Dragon was knocked down, he once again released a powerful charge-up slash, inflicting further heavy damage to the Fire Dragon.

Even the flying dragon species, which is known for its tenacious vitality, is a little overwhelmed by these successive heavy blows.

The male fire dragon staggered to its feet, fluttered its wings and moved backwards. At the same time, the flame star rolled in its huge mouth, obviously preparing for another breath of flames.

I have seen this move before. When it breathes out flames, its neck will stretch forward!

With some confidence in his heart, Gordon no longer prepared to dodge. Instead, he went straight up and rushed to the position diagonally in front of the male fire dragon, entering a charging posture.

The pungent smell of sulfur hits your face, and your breathing is about to begin.

 “Drink!”

 After finishing charging, Gordon roared and slashed out the sword in his hand, even though the head of the fire dragon was still outside his attack range.

However, at this moment, the male fire dragon suddenly stretched its neck, and the wave of flames rushing out of its throat was about to engulf Gordon, but it just happened to send his head under the blade of the explosive knife Kai.

The hook-shaped sword head went from top to bottom and pierced the upper jaw of the male fire dragon, forcing it to close its huge mouth and at the same time smothering the breath of flames that was about to be released in its throat.

"boom!"

The body of the male fire dragon fell heavily to the ground. With a dull explosion, the flames released from nowhere blasted a huge hole in the male fire dragon's throat, and flesh and blood mixed with fire smoke and black smoke scattered everywhere.

 In the golden vertical pupils, the light of life began to fade.

 The young hunter raised his sword again and struck the final blow that ended the fire dragon's life.

 ps.This is the end of the first volume of this book~

 The second volume will start tomorrow. The protagonist will enter the youth stage, and a character that I liked when I wrote the outline is about to appear 0v0!
