Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 433: Enter the ruins

Chapter 433 Entering the ruins

 “Boom—!”

Silver-white rapids swept over a towering stone cliff.

The stone cliff was like a bamboo pole that had been split by a sharp sword. It was broken in the middle. The huge rock weighing hundreds of tons fell to the ground. The deafening roar could be heard several kilometers away.

Gordon, who was lying down and dodged the flying rubble, jumped up and picked up the pork chop along the way, "Quick, quick, quick! We can already see the ruins!"

Pork Chop took out a small flying bomb, polished the fuse and fired it behind him. Regardless of whether it could hit or not, he continued to run after Gordon.

 “Why is it still chasing meow?!”

Pig Chop turned around and looked at Lan Long, who was nimbly tossing and turning among the stone pillars and cliffs like a fish swimming in the water. He kept approaching, and said in a panicked tone, "It's obviously very close to the ruins, meow, but it doesn't seem to be that afraid of the ruins, meow." ?!”

 “Maybe we **** it off too much!”

Gordon slid down a **** with the pork chop, then made an emergency turn and used the cover of the mountain to avoid several high-pressure water bombs fired by the mist dragon. "The fear of the ruins can't stop it. Let's get rid of us first." Determination?"

“What if it refuses to leave when we get to the ruins?!”

Gordon led Pig Pork and kept drilling into the narrow places among the rocks, using the terrain to slightly delay Lanlong's pursuit, "Then find a way to enter the ruins!

Didn’t Pandan discover cracks on the top of the ruins?

That ruins can stand there for so many years before opening a crack, so it should be very strong. We can think of a solution after hiding inside.

 At worst, I’ll spend a few days with that guy! "

 “It hit me, meow!”

 “Jump down!”

Gordon struggled to jump off a stone platform with a drop of four to five meters. Jumping from this height is very dangerous for ordinary people. If you are not careful, you may break your bones.

 But as a hunter, this level of action is basic.

The protective structure of the greaves prevents the hunter's ankle bones from being broken by the strong impact of the hunter's own body weight and the weight of the equipment at the moment of landing.

 Subsequent unloading of force from the body is commonplace.

After landing, Gordon rolled forward and then jumped up quickly using the inertia and continued to fly forward.

The stone platform collapsed into fragments under the spiral impact of the misty dragon carrying the wind blade.

 “The ruins are just ahead, meow!”

 “There’s still one last step to go!”

Lanlong, who failed in the collision, swung his body and spiraled into the air. His eyes were fixed on the ancient ruins, and he seemed to be hesitant.

"Lanlong has slowed down, meow!" Pork Chop's surprised cry injected new power into Gordon's tired legs, but its tone immediately turned frightened, "The breath is coming again, meow! It's the most powerful one. Meow!"

Gordon immediately turned his head and looked back.

 The Misty Dragon coiled in the sky, with bright purple spots all over its body, and silver light gathered in its huge mouth.

Gordon looked ahead.

The ruins are already in front of you, but climbing up the ruins against the attack of the mist dragon and then entering the ruins through the crack at the top is like talking in a dream.

 Perhaps we can use Xialanlong's breath

 “Pork chop! Do you have any flash bombs over there?”

 “Also, there is another meow!”

"Give me!"

Pork Chop threw the flash bomb to Gordon, "I've used it too many times, meow, the effect will probably be very poor, meow."

 “You know, a few seconds is enough!”

Gordon stopped and turned around, holding the flash bomb and facing Lan Long.

Lanlong took longer to prepare for this breath than before. He seemed to be planning to deal with this slippery hunter in one go.

It's now!

The silver torrent, which was as solid as a solid, rushed straight towards the hunter. Gordon held his breath and threw the flash bomb at the last moment, and fell to the ground at the same time.

Lanlong's sight was dazzled. It couldn't confirm the hunter's position for a moment, so it shook its head and breathed across a fan, finally landing on the outer wall of the ruins.

                     

The sound was like a sharp blade scraping against metal.

 At the point where the breath was fired, the soil and vegetation covering the ruins were broken open in the blink of an eye, but the masonry from ancient times showed amazing hardness and toughness at this time.

 The breath of the rapids could easily cut a groove several meters deep in the granite, but it only left a mark of less than half a meter on the ancient blue-black masonry.

 There is obviously still a long way to go before it can be crushed and penetrated.

It is a good thing that the ruins are strong enough, but if you can't get in, everything is empty talk.

Seeing that Lan Long's breathing continued, Gordon gritted his teeth, stood up on the ground, and yelled a few times.

Lanlong's attention was immediately attracted to him. It flicked its neck, and its breath swept back, cutting another deep mark on the outer wall of the ruins.

Even the products of ancient civilization cannot escape the erosion of time.

 The ancient masonry is still strong, but the solidity of the joints of the masonry and the integrity of the entire outer wall of the ruins are no longer as good as before.

At the intersection of the two deep scratches plowed by the breath, the wall of the ruins finally loosened, and then collapsed inward with a small crack.

Gordon's eyes lit up when he saw this. He first leaned over and rolled to avoid the sweeping breath, then stood up and rushed towards the crack without stopping.

 “Pork chop!”

 “I saw meow!”

Pork Chop, who moved nimbly, jumped into the crack one step ahead.

Gordon followed.

 They don’t know what dangers there are in the ruins, mechanisms? poison gas? Collapsed floors? Incredible ancient monster?

 But it was better than the terrifying ancient dragon in front of them who wanted to smash them into pieces.

They are already exhausted and have used up their flash bombs. If they don't break into the ruins to take a break, they won't even have the energy to fight to the death.

 “唳——!”

The moment he rushed into the ruins, Gordon felt like he had entered another world.

Boundless darkness replaced everything. Wind, rain, light, and sound were all isolated. Even the angry long howl of Lan Long became distant and vague.

The gap is clearly behind you, but the sound can’t come in?

Gordon couldn't explain this phenomenon, so he tentatively called out, "Pork chop?"

 “I’m here, meow!” Pig Chop ran over.

This made Gordon feel a little relieved.

 In any case, in such a weird and unfamiliar environment, having a companion with whom you can communicate will ease your inner uneasiness a lot.

Gordon made a "standby" gesture to the pork chop, quietly moved to the edge of the crack, and looked out carefully.

 Within a few seconds, he retreated.

“It’s still lingering outside, and it doesn’t seem to want to leave.” Gordon leaned against the wall and sat down, “Let’s recover our strength where we are and spend some time with it.

 If it doesn't leave, let's try to explore the ruins a little more. Maybe we can find another exit and go around it. "

 “Good meow.”

Pork Chop ran to Gordon's legs and lay down.

 It suddenly remembered something and looked up, "It's pitch black, it seems like the interior of this ruin is not a whole space, otherwise you should be able to see the light coming through the cracks on the top."

Ge also raised his head, "Indeed, and the air inside is not too turbid. Is this the technology of ancient civilization?"

“It feels like all abnormalities can be explained by the ‘techniques of ancient civilizations’, meow.” Pig Pa complained while wagging his tail.

“Well, maybe it’s because of the crack on the top? If it really collapsed for almost a year, it would be breathable enough.”

“I think this reason is more reasonable.”
