Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 208: Hayata's Trap

Chapter 208 Hayata’s Trap

 Facing an angry monster, hunters often choose to walk around.

Faced with monsters in a fatigued state, hunters will definitely turn into mad dogs.

Gordon rushed to the side of the Cang Fire Dragon's head and immediately began to prepare for the charged attack.

The Cang Fire Dragon's movements were obviously much slower. It gasped and turned its head, but failed to completely avoid it. It charged up and slashed, opening a large blood mark on its side face.

With a howl, the Cang Fire Dragon turned around with some difficulty, using its wings and tail to temporarily force Gordon back.

 Looking at the Cang Fire Dragon's sluggish appearance after fatigue, Pig Cho also became excited.

It jumped, "Come on, meow! Come on, meow! Let's go get the last flying bomb and blow it up! This time it will definitely not be able to dodge it, meow!"

Hayata nodded and followed Pork Chop towards the camp.

This battlefield is near the entrance of the camp. It only takes less than two minutes to run back and forth, so it should be in time.

On the way to the camp, Hayata opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. Noticing her hesitation, Pig Chop asked proactively:

 “Hayata have any suggestions, meow?”

Hayata pondered for a moment, "I have an idea. There is a forest one or two kilometers away in a straight line. The vines are so lush that even the Blue Fire Dragon cannot fly freely in it.

I evaded its pursuit there, but unfortunately I had run out of flash bombs. Otherwise, I might have been able to use vines to trap it for a while and evacuate safely.

 So I thought.”

 “Good idea, meow!”

Pork Chop jumped twice while running.

“We set off in such a hurry this time that we didn’t have time to prepare the trap. The place described by Hayata is a natural trap!”

 “How do I need to communicate with Senior Gordon?”

“No need, meow. Say hello to him later and he will cooperate, meow!”

Between the boulders, the entrance to the camp, which only allowed one person to pass, was already in sight. Pork Chop and Hayata entered one after another, and a moment later, they ran out with flying bombs in their arms.

  When he returned to the battlefield, Gordon was cutting at the base of the Cang Fire Dragon's wings.

 —He hoped that doing so would somewhat reduce the latter's ability to fly.

This time, Pork Chop did not wait for Gordon to distance himself from the Cang Fire Dragon.

Instead, after commanding Hayata to place the bomb barrels, he loudly reminded Gordon, "The bombs are coming!" and then directly pulled the fuse.

Gordon turned his eyes slightly and glanced this way from the corner of his eye.

 Immediately gave up the plan to accumulate power, and used a quick upward strike to force the Cang Fire Dragon to take a small step back, then turned around and ran away.

The Cang Fire Dragon was attracted by his abnormal actions and subconsciously wanted to pursue him, but Pork Chop's flying bombs had already dropped from the sky.

 “Boom!”

 “Gordon! Come this way, come here meow!”

Pork Chop shouted, and Hayata beside it also waved her arms and waved to Gordon.

Gordon didn't know what the two guys' plans were, but he still decisively put away his sword and ran towards them.

Behind him came the sky-shaking roar of the blue fire dragon, and the roar of its wings stirring the air.

 After the two people and the cat met, they ran together.

Pork Chop also explained to Gordon at this time: "Hayata said that there are many vines in a place more than one kilometer north, which is a natural trap for cats!"

Gordon nodded to express understanding, and at the same time turned back to confirm the position of the Cang Fire Dragon.

As expected, the guy caught up with him aggressively.



 At this point in the battle, Gordon has decided to hunt the Cang Fire Dragon.

According to Hayata's mission document, this guy will threaten road safety. He is also the kind of target designated by the guild for elimination. There is no need to let him go and trouble other hunters later.

The Blue Fire Dragon's pursuit speed is indeed very fast, even in the sea of ​​​​trees with giant trees. No wonder Hayata has never been able to escape before - running with two legs can never outrun flying with wings.

As a last resort, Gordon stopped and struggled with the Cang Fire Dragon twice before successfully guiding it to its destination.

 It wasn’t until he saw those giant trees and vines with his own eyes that he truly understood Hayata’s thoughts.

Several giant ancient trees that are five or six meters thick occupy this entire forest land.

  The lush tree crown blocks the sunlight, making the ground here except for low herbaceous plants, there are few shrubs and small trees, which is relatively flat and suitable for fighting.

More importantly, the tangled vines between the ancient trees were so lush that they looked like a large net.

Some of the vines have grown for who knows how many years, and are entangled into thick bridge-like strips, which can be easily passed by people walking on them.

Facing these giant nets, Cang Fire Dragon also hesitated.

It has almost gotten tangled up in these things before and would not want to go through them again if possible.

However, at this moment, a small dyed ball was thrown into its face.

The brightly colored dye covered its face, and the strong smell almost made it pass by with its keen sense of smell.

 Shaking its head vigorously, the Cang Fire Dragon's eyes began to become bloodshot. It opened its huge mouth and let out a furious roar in the air.

Facing the Cang Fire Dragon who was once again in an angry state, Gordon smiled happily.

He has previously discovered that dye **** can not only be used to mark monsters and assist in tracking, but are also very effective at provoking monsters - the monsters may mistake the dye for some other strong-smelling liquid.

In order to lower the vigilance of the Cang Fire Dragon, Gordon did not openly get into the giant net of vines to lure it.

Instead, he stood in front of the giant net, raised his sword, and assumed a posture ready to fight.

In a furious state, the irrational Cang Fire Dragon roared again and glided towards him.

 The distance between the two is getting closer and closer.

 “That’s it now!” Gordon shouted.

In fact, without his reminding, Hayata had already found the right moment and threw the flash bomb.

A bright light burst out in front of the Cang Fire Dragon's eyes, and it froze. The Cang Fire Dragon, which lost its vision and some control over its limbs, fell headlong into the giant net.

As it fluttered and struggled, the nearby vines were constantly pulled by it, entangled messily with its wing claws, tail, and the thorns on its carapace, binding it tightly.

 “Hehehehe.” Gordon smirked, shouldered his sword, and ran forward.

“Meow, meow, meow, meow.” Pig Chop’s laughter was exactly the same, and he held up a coconut-sized bomb barrel in his paws.

“You are not allowed to use explosive bombs. What will happen if you blow up the vines and scatter them?”

 “Meow!” Pig Chop protested angrily.

  "Is Hayata going to come over and chop a few times to vent his anger?"

 “Well, there’s no need for that, right?”

The Cang Fire Dragon died in frustration, but Gordon was quite happy.

Most of the wounds on the corpse were concentrated on the head and chest, which he had slashed with a knife. There were also two scorch marks on the back and sides, which were caused by flying bombs.

In addition, most of the carapace scales on the Cang Fire Dragon's corpse are intact, and a lot of excellent materials should be able to be peeled off.

Gordon pulled out his stripping knife, only to find Hayata standing aside and not moving.

 “What are you doing standing there stupidly, coming to strip me?”

 “Yes, but I can’t help much.” Hayata looked a little embarrassed.

 —According to the customary rules among hunters, whoever collects the materials belongs to whoever collects them.

“Even if you don’t mention the subsequent steps of carrying explosive bombs, throwing flash bombs, and marking the location of traps, you slipped it away all day and night, and you also consumed a lot of its energy.

 You're welcome, let's strip it together, let me see the luck of the 'Chosen One' after a long time. "

 “It’s not that exaggerated.” Hayata sighed, and finally came over.

ˆPs.

In the game, you can only peel three times (four times from ancient dragon). This is to increase the length of the game. I feel like it’s not necessary in “reality”, right?

Furthermore, the part of calculating the reward materials after the mission is also quite strange. The guild even sends people to the hunting grounds to peel them again, and they can’t reward you later.

 The inability to obtain enough materials should be attributed to the damage caused by the hunter during the battle, such as the few green hairs that Oshura was unable to ask for before. (This point was mentioned in the article before)

There are also some materials that can only be stripped after docking the tail, and I will not adopt this setting—

I have already lost all my money. Is it difficult to cut off my tail?
