Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 344: Isn't this exciting?

  Chapter 344 Isn't this exciting?

   "I'm going to chop up that bunch of rotten bananas!" Fengying was really angry.

  Underage girls are more likely to be emotional. When they see beautiful things being destroyed, it is inevitable that they will not be able to control their anger.

"calm."

  Anshir reminded, "We will hunt it down, don't get on it."

  Fengying took a deep breath, "I understand."

  Over there, Gordon, who had confirmed the traces, stood up, "Fengying, I'll let you lead the way and track it down. The difficulty should be very low this time."

  Fengying nodded, carefully observed the footprints left by the purple water beast, and after confirming the direction in which the latter left, she quickly moved forward.

  Hayatta was behind her, keeping a distance of several meters.

  In this way, Fengying will not be disturbed, and in case of accidents, she can provide timely support.

  As an amphibious monster, the purple water beast left very obvious traces.

  Not to mention the footprints, its plump belly and the huge spongy water storage organ at the neck will drag obvious drag marks on the soft mud.

   Even in areas with hard soil, the venom dripping along the road is the best guide.

   There are actually many monsters with poison glands, such as red velociraptor, poison dog dragon, fire dragon, etc., but most of these monsters only use their venom for hunting or fighting against enemies.

   Few monsters spill venom so pointlessly as the Violet.

  Scholars from the Scholar team found after investigation that the purple water beast is not actually an independent species, and even strictly speaking, they are not even considered a "subspecies".

  They are mutated water beast individuals. In the spongy organs used for water storage, poisonous glands capable of secreting highly toxic have developed, which also makes the large amount of water stored in the spongy matter infected with highly toxic.

  Sponge is the organ used by water beasts to keep their bodies moist, but for purple water beasts, it is no longer water but venom to keep their bodies moist.

  Actually, after careful observation, it is not difficult to find that the purple on the body of the purple water beast is the color of the venom, and the parts that are not soaked by the venom are bright yellow like ordinary water beasts.

  As for why the purple water beast cannot become an independent species, the key also lies in the venom.

  Aquatic animals live in groups, and the small monster aquatic animals that can often be seen around them are actually females in the group.

  They will also be poisoned to death by the venom of the purple water beast...

   In other words, purple water beasts have no chance to mate with aquatic beasts and pass on genes.

  This is why water beasts are always surrounded by wives and concubines, but purple water beasts can only act alone.

   "Thinking about it this way, it's really miserable. Being single is so psychologically distorted, it's right to take revenge on nature." Gordon muttered, recalling the ecological information of the purple water beast.

   "What are you mumbling about..."

  Anshir, who was walking not far in front of Gordon, looked back at him speechlessly.

  Suddenly, Fengying, who was leading the way, was walking at the front of the team and raised her palm.

  The entire team stopped advancing immediately.

   "What did you find?" Gordon stepped forward and asked.

  At this time, they came to a pebble river beach, and in front of them was a waist-deep, gentle stream.

   "It crawled into the stream."

  Fengying stared at the traces that disappeared by the stream, with a troubled expression, "The bottom of the stream is full of pebbles, and there are no footprints left."

   "How about using your brain?"

  Fengying held her head in her arms and thought hard for a long time, then said with a mournful face, "Thinking...it's too rough..."

  Gordon: "…"

  Hayata on the side suggested, "Perhaps, you can check the fish and shrimp in the water?"

  Gordon and Anshir looked at each other, and both sighed.

  Both girls lack experience.

   "This is running water. Even if the purple water beast poisons the fish in this section of the river, after the venom is diluted, it won't be long before fish from upstream and downstream will swim over."

  Gordon walked upstream while explaining.

   Fengying Hayata obediently followed, while Anshir held up the heavy crossbow to guard Gordon's temporary teaching.

  Gordon rummaged by the stream for a while, and dug out a few snails from under the large pebbles. After looking at them, they were alive.

  Fengying and Hayata came to a sudden, they trot all the way and went downstream for a while, and also turned over a few big rocks, the snails and shellfish they saw were either dead, even if they weren't dead, they didn't look very energetic.

   "It's going downstream!" Fengying cheered.

  Gordon didn't bother to preach any more. These are the results of accumulated experience. After hunting for a long time, it will naturally come to pass.

  In exchange for Nagashi, old hunters like Liangxiong who have hunted for most of their lives here may not need to turn over stones with their hands, and they can find some details that they didn't notice with a glance.

  The team set off again, walked along the stream for a few kilometers, and finally found the purple water beast.

  It was dozing leisurely lying on the stream, and strands of purple venom continuously seeped from the spongy organs on its head and neck, merged into the stream, and flowed down.

  There are no more fish and shrimp in the surrounding river section. They have been overwhelmed by the poison and washed downstream.

   Such a scene made the hunters' teeth itch.

   After briefly checking the surrounding environment and confirming that there are no other monsters nearby, Gordon said: "It's not convenient to fight in the stream, Anshir, lure it out."

   "Master Gordon, do you want to kill without sleep?" Feng Ying asked with blinking eyes.

   The monster is sleeping.

  Gordon's face turned black when he heard that, "Didn't you see that the water is all purple? Do you want me to be poisoned when you enter the water?"

"oh!"

   "Get ready for battle." Anshir pulled the bolt and loaded it, reminded his companions, and started shooting.

   "Bang! Bang!"

  The flame bomb exploded on the rotten banana-like spongy organ of the purple water beast, and the venom splashed amidst the flashing flames.

  The purple water beast, which was awakened from its sleep, twisted its body and got up. It looked around, and after noticing the hunters on the riverside, it let out an angry roar.

  It hates fire the most.

  Gordon glanced at Fengying calmly from the corner of his eye.

  Gordon was satisfied when he found that the little girl picked up the sword and shield, but only guarded Anshir's side, and didn't mean to rush directly.

  At this moment, the Purple Water Beast had already left the stream and climbed up to the river bank. Its fat body twisted from side to side, and attacked here.

  The movement looks clumsy, but the speed is not slow.

  Gordon and Hariyata exchanged glances, and rushed up together.

  As usual, Gordon pushed the monster from the front, while Hayatta made a detour to the side of the monster to conduct a guerrilla attack.

   Gordon rushed straight in front of the monster, and swiped the big sword with a drawn knife, while the purple water beast showed surprising flexibility at this time.

  It shrank its head and neck, dodging the preemptive blow.

  The attack failed, and Gordon didn't care, his tactical goal had been achieved—the purple water beast's footsteps were stopped.

   Watching the movement of the purple water beast carefully, Gordon continued to take a big step forward, twisting his waist and swinging his arms at the same time, and slashed out with a big sword.

  The heavy sword [Wang Hu] with a very forward center of gravity showed amazing power under the blessing of the user's strong arm strength.

  The claw blade composed of the minions of the Booming Dragon popped out of the sword body, and the nail was inserted into the side face of the purple water beast.

  As the great sword continued to swing, the claw blade tore open the wound, smashing the latter's head to the side.

   "Ho!"

  Gordon grinned, "Who says it's hard to control, isn't this kind of hand feeling very exciting!"
