Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 836: Open your mind

Chapter 836: Opening up the mind

  The archers aimed at these thicker parts of the back and chest, so that the constraint bullets, which were thicker than ordinary crossbow arrows, would be firmly stuck in the Thunder Dragon's body after hitting them.

 The winch rotated rapidly, and the chains tightened, binding the Thunder Dragon to the ground.

 “Gah-!”

Thunder Dragon roared angrily. It had never encountered a similar attack before, and instinctively, it began to struggle and discharge.

The shooters had already expected it, and after the restraint bullet hit the target, they immediately left the heavy bed crossbow.

The powerful current flowing along the fine steel chain did not harm them, and the fixed piles driven deep into the ground by the craftsmen also ensured that at least the chain would not be broken free in a short period of time.

The chains creaked, and the Thunder Dragon struggled to no avail. The golden arcs dancing on its body gradually dissipated. It propped its flippers on the ground and gasped miserably.

Now no one needs to remind the commander, all the hunters rush forward together.

Take advantage of the moment and pin the Thunder God Dragon to death on the ground!

 “Fire all bombs!”

Handing the Thunder Shenron's head, Ted almost stuffed his entire body into the Thunder Shenron's mouth, roaring, and pressed the trigger on the handle of the blunderbuss.

 The thick gunpowder smoke caused by all the bullets almost covered the entire head of the Thunder God Dragon.

Ted may not have had such a plan, but as a result, the smoke obscured the Thunder Dragon's sight very well, making the offensive of the swordsmen who entered the close combat smoother.

Master Samantabhadra laughed and wildly danced the sword in his hand, slashing the Thor Dragon's chest and neck until blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Lie Yan seemed to be thinking of competing with Puxian, and the two swords that danced around turned into two blurry sword lights. The dragon-type energy that exploded with it penetrated the carapace and scales and continuously eroded into the Thunder God Dragon's body.

Gordon and Feng Ying, the two heavy-weapon swordsmen, naturally focused on the soft belly of the Thunder Dragon.

Those two hard hind claws had blocked countless heavy blows for it, but at this time, the Thunder Dragon's sight was affected, and Samantabhadra Flame Ted surrounded its head and chest to attack ferociously, making it unable to pay attention to the sides of its body. The enemy behind had no choice but to hold its abdomen tightly with its hind paws.

Unfortunately, this passive defense is obviously ineffective. The dragon claws that move around to parry attacks are annoying. What's the use of hugging the dragon claws that don't move?

Just find the angle, it’s no more difficult than hitting a fixed target.

  Great swords and shield axes, which have amazing attack power but require a certain amount of preparation time, are my favorite targets.

The space around the Thunder Shenlong's belly was limited, and Gordon and Fengying could move to the left and right without disturbing each other. It would be inconvenient for more people, so Hayata didn't squeeze in to join in the fun.

 She was aiming at the fin claws of Thorosaurus, to be precise, the soft-looking gelatinous organ on the side of the fin claws.

They have previously discovered that when Thunder Dragon launches a powerful lightning attack, there are several places where the arc is most concentrated, including the soft spines on the back of the head, the abdomen, and the soft bladders on both sides of the fins and claws.

 A large number of dangerous thunder rings that spread slowly are released from this organ.

 There is no doubt that, like the abdominal capsule, this is also one of the electricity storage organs of Thunder Dragon.

In the past, the Thunder God Dragon was flying in the sky, moving very fast, and its flexible and powerful fin claws were somewhat seeking death. But now the Thunder God Dragon has been shot down, and one of its fin claws is still firmly locked by a restraining bullet.

It would be a shame not to chop it down a few more times.

 Not only the swordsmen, but also several archers began to try their best.

Gale, who was wearing a cat-like head, was laughing wildly, like an excited mental patient. He never let go of his finger on the trigger. The barrel of the Velociraptor Light Crossbow was already red-hot and would not explode in the next second. It was strange, but she still poured out penetrating bullets at the fastest speed.

Ancier behaves like an automatic turret, firing rhythmically, reloading, and continuing to fire in a continuous cycle. The rate of fire may not be as good as that of a continuous-fire light crossbow, but it is better in terms of firepower sustainability.

Even Oshula and Maka, who were not allowed to join the battle head-on, came over.

Oshula, who is also a light crossbow user like Gale, is easy to say and can just keep shooting, but Maka is a little embarrassed with the insect stick.

 When used as a guerrilla, the flexibility of the insect stick is undoubtedly the first. However, once a tough attack is needed, the explosive power of the insect stick seems a bit embarrassing.

There is no comparison with heavy weapons such as swords, shields and axes, and their positioning is completely different.

Look at the two swords, both of which are light weapons. The flame armors dancing wildly over there are dyed red by dragon's blood. Even the blade sword has the burst method of continuous precise attack (jr), and the insect stick

 Eat me and hit me in a flying circle!

Maka, who was dancing the lasso in a flashy manner, glanced at her side, holding steel teeth in her mouth, biting the violent wind of the thunder dragon's flesh wildly.

 Silently put away the weapon.

Does that rapid-fire cannon over there still have two drum magazines?

 Under the continuous attacks by the hunters, the Thunder Dragon suffered more and more wounds and his condition became weaker and weaker.

Gordon and the others, who were not directly involved in the previous stages of the battle but had been observing, knew that if the Thunder Dragon wanted to take off again, it must discharge the electric field in advance to comb it.

At its peak, the energy-filled Thunder Dragon can release an electric field and magnetic force powerful enough to lift it into the air in just the blink of an eye.

But at this time, the Thunder Dragon, which was seriously injured and whose thunder bag was on the verge of being exhausted, was unable to do this at all. He could only accumulate electricity bit by bit under the onslaught of the hunters.

 But the electricity storage will also have external manifestations. Whenever there is an arc flashing on a certain part of the Thunder Dragon's body, the shooters' crossbow shells will immediately lock on there.

The flames will also immediately pull the flying insects to fly over, and use the dragon energy attached to the double swords to scatter them.

This greatly extends the time for Thunder Dragon to reorganize its electric field.

 The battle has progressed to this point, and it’s not surprising that the Thunder God Dragon fell down wailing in the next second.

However, the ancient dragon's strong vitality supported it, resisting and struggling all the time, trying to break free from the restraint bombs, reorganize the electric field and return to the air.

 It still lacks the most crucial blow.

Gordon couldn't help but glance in the direction of the dragon-killing cannon. If he remembered correctly, there was also a dragon-killing carbon cannon shell.

 Pork chop should be able to launch at any time. Do you not want to interrupt their offensive? Worried about breaking the chain of the restraint bullet? Or are you afraid of the Thunder Dragon's interception attack?

  Maybe both

Just as he was thinking this, Gordon caught something with his peripheral vision, and his attack movements suddenly stopped.

 Pork Chop actually ran over holding a cannonball!

The issues that Gordon just guessed were indeed its concerns. After struggling for a long time, it decided to open up its mind.

The Dragon-killing Carbon Cannonball is not an ordinary cannonball. Without a cannon, it is just an iron ball that is difficult to explode. This thing is much more powerful than a large barrel explosive bomb!

“Find a way to attach the cannonball to it, meow!” Pig Chop meowed loudly.

Gordon gave Feng Ying a look, and Feng Ying immediately put away her weapon, looking very excited, "I'll do it!"

As if aware of the hunters' intentions, Thunder Dragon struggled desperately.

It could only lie on the ground as the electric field had not yet recovered, but the powerful force brought by its size of more than thirty meters was no joke. It endured the severe pain and jerked away.

 “Boom!”

One of the restraining bullet chains was stretched and broken, and the sweeping chain almost pulled Gale's waist into two pieces. She quickly rolled on the spot to dodge, breaking out in a cold sweat.

 “Hoot, quack, quack—!”

Thunder Dragon continued to struggle wildly, another chain was broken, and a heavy bed crossbow was pulled out directly from the ground, leaving only the last set of restraint bombs still firmly fixed on its back.

It twisted its body, bit the end of the crossbow arrow, and pulled it out fiercely. The pure steel crossbow arrow with ferocious barbs tore the muscles and pulled out a large piece of flesh and blood.

Thunder Dragon howled in pain, resisting the severe pain that caused muscle spasms all over its body, and suddenly pushed the ground, trying to forcefully take off with the little power it finally saved.

                                   

The arc of electricity kept flashing brightly, and it maintained its flying attitude for two or three seconds before crashing to the ground again.

 The earth trembled.

But it still refused to give up, like a big fish that was fished to the shore but kept struggling to jump into the water. The hunters tried to stop it, but they couldn't get close at all.

Thunder Dragon half-climbed and half-swam to a rock wall. It climbed up the rock wall with its fin claws, turned over and jumped, and adjusted the electric field in the air by taking advantage of the height difference of the rock wall.

The magnetic force offset the gravity, and the weak and embarrassed Thunder Dragon, covered in wounds and blood, finally managed to regain its levitating posture.

“Feng Ying!” Lie Yan, who was chasing the Thunder Dragon, shouted.

Feng Ying, who was holding the cannonball in one hand, waved her hand and flew into the air with the help of flying insects.

 Lieyan, who flew up together, was faster. She released flying insects twice in succession, flipping in the air and jumping onto the back of the Thunder God Dragon before it could fly high.

 “Go on!” Feng Ying, who could only hold the flying insect with one hand, hung in mid-air, threw the cannonball into the flames with all her strength.

 Lieyan reached out to catch the cannonball with both hands. The heavy weight almost made her lose her balance and fall.

 “So heavy?!”

 Lieyan screamed, but fortunately she stabilized her position, glanced at it, and directly inserted the cannonball into the huge wound that was torn open when the restraint bomb was pulled out.

 Then he immediately turned over and jumped down, rolling to the ground to remove the inertia.

Feng Ying also landed next to her. Just as she was about to raise her shield, Ted charged forward and raised his big shield to protect the two of them.

Several crossbow shells fired from different directions penetrated the dragon-killing carbon shell embedded in the Thunder Dragon's wound.

 The golden red fire swept across and enveloped the entire sky.

 The figure submerged in the explosion flames fell without any breath.
