Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 254: toothache

  Chapter 254 Toothache

  Like Fengshanlong, Lingshanlong has no dominant or symbiotic relationship with sandfish schools.

  It’s simply that their actions will dig out the nutrients in the depths of the sand sea, so they will attract a large number of sandfish.

   Therefore, when a large number of sand fish schools appear, the response method of the sand fleet is to ignore them and leave the fish schools to the fishing fleet.

  The fishermen's banquet began.

  On the sandy fishing boat speeding at high speed, the harpooners tied themselves overboard, throwing the harpoon again and again with their strong arms.

  The sandfish that is poked will be dragged to the deck by the fishermen immediately.

  The fish-cutting knife in the butcher's hand was a meter long, almost like a sharp long sword.

  With a flash of the knife, the fish dissecting knife precisely pierced through the opening and closing gills of the sandfish. After a little stirring, the sandfish died immediately.

  The fishermen on the deck dragged the sandfish, which was still twitching slightly, aside with the drag hook. At this time, the next sandfish was also stabbed by the harpoon and dragged up.

   Repeatedly, the efficiency is extremely high.

  Sandfish that jump on the dragon and sand boats will get extra attention from the harpooners, just like the one that just slapped Harayata's tail.

   Before he could bite, he was stabbed by the harpoon and dragged away.

  The two teams have cooperated in this way for countless years, and they have already had a tacit understanding. The fishing operations of the fishing fleet will not even affect the attack of the sand boat group on Lingshanlong.

  The scene may seem noisy and chaotic, but it is actually in order.

   "There seems to be a lot of sandfish this year?"

   "Then let's work harder and don't let them affect the convoy!"

   "Huha! Great harvest!"

  The joyful mood of the fishermen also affected the sand boat group, and everyone's nerves were finally relieved due to tension and fear.

  The tragic atmosphere dissipated, and smiles reappeared on the mouths of the members of the sand boat group.

  So what about the peak mountain dragon, what about the Lingshan dragon, this is a feast in the great desert!

   Guess who is the main course?

  Lingshanlong is faster and dives deeper? Then change the name of the banquet, now it is a banquet in the desert!

   "Woo—"

  Lingshanlong uttered a whale-like long cry.

   As soon as the huge island-like body stood up, a few large clumps of moist sand and soil sprayed out from the air holes above its head, drawing a tall parabola, and fell towards the dragon-fighting boat.

  Hayatta, who was firing, looked up, quickly estimated the path where the clumps would fly, and immediately backed away from the artillery.

  The elder brother next to her who was operating the heavy bed crossbow seemed to be a bit over his head. He laughed loudly and fired the heavy crossbow shells at Lingshan Long's round belly one after another.

   "Be careful! Dodge!"

   "Huh? Woohoo!"

  The huge clump fell, and the sand and soil splashed in all directions. The elder brother of the crew who did not dodge in time was thrown out, fell off the side of the ship, and fell into the sea of ​​sand.

   "That idiot."

  The captain of the ship, who was always paying attention to everything around him, covered his face helplessly.

   "They are all veterans of battles, why are they not as cautious as the little girl who participated in the battle for the first time?"

  The captain of the ship sighed, and then raised his voice, "Gordon! Go and use that heavy bed crossbow!"

   "Huh? Oh, yes!" Gordon ran to the heavy bed crossbow.

  The dragon-fighting boat was on the left side of Lingshanlong, galloping side by side with it. The two positions were relatively static. He didn't need his frequent help to adjust the angle of the muzzle on Hayata's side, and it happened to be free.

  Using the winch wheel to pull the heavy crossbow, put a conical crossbow made of pure steel on it, and after aiming for a while, Gordon pulled the trigger.

   "Om—"

  The heavy crossbow shell turned into an afterimage and roared out.

  Because I forgot to consider the wind direction and the speed relationship with the target, the crossbow shot a little crookedly.

  The heavy-duty crossbow missed the belly of the dragon he was aiming at, but flew obliquely and hit the giant tooth on the left side of Lingshanlong.

   "Tsk." Gordon was speechless, but what happened next made his heart skip a beat.

  —I thought it was a completely ineffective blow, but it caused Ling Shanlong's head to tilt slightly.

"Huh?"

  Gordon was a little surprised, but he couldn't tell if it was a coincidence.

   "Captain! Lingshanlong's left tooth seems to be a little strange! I'll try shooting there!" Gordon shouted.

"OK!"

  Gordon aimed carefully and shot the second heavy crossbow.

   fell through.

   Adjusted the angle slightly, shot the third crossbow, but still missed.

  The distance between the Dragon Fighting Boat and the Lingshan Dragon was about two hundred meters, and it was late at night, so it was really not easy to accurately hit the dragon's teeth that were swinging from time to time.

  Gordon kept trying, and it wasn't until the sixth firing that the heavy crossbow finally landed precisely on the giant fang on the left side of Lingshanlong.

  Lingshanlong's body shook again.

   No coincidence!

   After thinking about it for a while, Gordon realized what was going on.

   "Captain! Lingshanlong's left giant tooth is injured, it should be caused by the dragon-striking gun just now!"

   In fact, Gordon didn’t need to remind him specifically. After the former started aiming at Lingshanlong’s left tooth, the captain of the ship had been observing with a telescope, and he also discovered this.

  The captain of the boat pondered.

   Concentrate all the heavy bed crossbows and attack the left tooth together?

   No, you can't do that.

  Compared to the huge abdomen, the target of Lingshanlong Zuoya is too small, it is very difficult to hit it accurately, and you have to rely on some luck.

  If all the heavy bed crossbows are aimed there, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of waste of crossbow bullets.

  Especially on a high-speed sand boat, it is much more difficult to shoot accurately on it than on a smooth dragon attack boat.

  The most suitable shooting position for attacking the left tooth of Lingshan Dragon is the bed crossbow on the starboard side of the dragon attack boat, which is the one operated by Gordon.

   "Gordon! You continue to aim at Dragon Fang, and the attacking positions of the rest remain unchanged!"

"okay!"

  Gordon, who got the "special mission", no longer considered the shooting speed. He would aim for a long time before each launch, just to improve the hit rate.

  Even so, the probability of him successfully hitting Lingshanlong Zuoya is less than 20%.

   Fortunately, I moved a lot of bundles of heavy crossbow shells before departure.

   "Om—"

  The heavy crossbow shot out, and after about two seconds of flight, it successfully hit the root of Lingshanlong's left dragon tooth.

  The conical crossbow bullet with the thickness of the arm pierced deeply through the crack left by the dragon gun.

  —This is the fifth crossbow bolt that fell on Dragon Fang.

   "Roar!" Ling Shanlong roared like a landslide.

  The crossbow shells pierced into its teeth cannot pose a substantial threat to it, but the pain is unbearable.

   Even Gordon, the culprit, felt pain when he looked at it. That feeling is probably similar to poking a decayed tooth with a toothpick, right?

  噫.

   Lingshanlong, who was in a frenzy due to toothache, swung his body and began to approach Mineyamamaru.

  Although the "sharp horns" on Mineyama Maru make it quite afraid, it still wants to get rid of this strange guy who can "shoot poisonous stings" and make his teeth hurt first.

   "Everyone! Shock ready!"

   Perceiving Lingshanlong's attacking intention, the captain of the ship shouted to remind the whole ship.

  The sand boats wandering around also started firing restraint bombs, trying to attract Lingshanlong's attention again, but unfortunately the effect was not good.

   "Mary Dan, get ready to hit the gong!"

   "Nonsense! Do you need to talk about it? My mother is watching!" Mary Dan picked up the hammer [Daihuwan] loudly.

  Lingshanlong leaned forward and approached, and was about to hit the starboard side of Fengshanmaru.

"Hey!"

   Mary Dan saw the timing and swung the sledgehammer vigorously.

   "kuang—"

  The big gong shook violently, and the metal sound that did not exist in nature tore through the night sky.

  Lingshanlong approaching quickly seemed to be slapped by an invisible giant hand, and twitched away.

   "It's so exciting!"

  Ps.

   In the game, there are three things that can interrupt the attack of Fengshanlong (Lingshanlong), the big gong, the dragon gun, and the restraint bullets, but the restraint bullets are a bit strange to me--

   So there is no plot to directly interrupt Lingshanlong's actions with restraint bullets.
