Monster Hunter: This Fire Dragon has characteristics

Chapter 39 Hunting Failure
The heavy blow took the ceratosaurus a long time to recover, and the dragon hunter jumped off the ceratosaurus's head nimbly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the hunters who were lying in ambush nearby showed up one after another.

The light crossbow users, heavy crossbow users and archers carried out long-range suppression, while the remaining hunters threw out the ropes they had prepared in advance to lasso the ceratosaurus from all directions.

The other end of these special ropes is tied to a wooden nail nearly one meter long.

The hunter, who was already prepared, swung the sledgehammer and drove the nail into the ground with just a few blows.

Sensing a huge sense of crisis, the Ceratopsus struggled frantically, but unfortunately this was a premeditated hunting plan and it was impossible for it to escape easily.

The purpose this time is to capture him alive and investigate on behalf of the failed ancient dragon.

That’s right, this time the ancient dragon investigation plan ultimately failed.

The members of the investigation team overestimated their own strength and underestimated the density of monsters in the new world.

From the first day they set out to arrive at the Great Anthill Wasteland, they were attacked by large monsters three times a day on average, and in the intervening time, they were also harassed by some small social creatures.

As the investigation team went deeper into the Great Anthill Wasteland, logistical supplies began to become tight. They were completely surrounded by monsters and were isolated and helpless.

Once again, nature showed its cruel side to the hunters.

No matter day or night, there are always various creatures attacking them. The constantly consumed logistics, the wounded in the battles, the lack of water and food, and the long-term tense hearts, each of them is like a huge rock pressing on everyone's heart.

Especially since they are tracking the traces of an unknown ancient dragon, it is inevitable that they need to step into many complex environments and break into the territories of many powerful creatures.

Even with the leadership of three powerful men, the Grand Commander, the Sword Master and the Dragon Hunter, they are still no match for four hands, not to mention that they have to face giant beasts that survive in such a barren wasteland.

Even a strong man like the sword master was injured in a battle and has not yet fully recovered.

The investigation team was greatly slowed down by this environment and eventually lost the unknown ancient dragon. They had no choice but to collect some remnants left by the ancient dragon and then look around reluctantly to see if there was still a chance.

After being stationed in this area for quite some time, the Grand Commander and his men finally realized the truth and could only reluctantly declare that the purpose of their trip had failed.

Finally, in order to give an explanation to everyone and to be able to gain something after consuming so many supplies.

Following the advice of scholars, the investigation team set their sights on the overlord of the area, a ceratosaurus in its prime.

In order to obtain the most information possible, the ultimate goal of this hunt is to capture the target alive.

We can obtain much more information from living ceratopsians than from dead ones.

After confirming that the Triceratops was indeed restrained, the scholar holding the paralyzing bullet quickly rushed forward and planned to throw the prepared paralyzing bullet into the face of the still struggling Triceratops.

“Come back! Come back everyone!!”

The short-haired woman keenly noticed the abnormality under her feet, and quickly took out a homemade crossbow and shouted loudly to the scholars who were running over.

Without the slightest hesitation, even though they were close to their goal, the scholars still trusted this woman wholeheartedly, not for anything else, but because she was the legendary figure who had disappeared fifteen years ago, the only disciple of the Dragon Hunter who was widely known as a lone adventurer, an absolute elite specially invited by the Hunter's Guild, and a senior explorer with the title of Wilderness Master!
Her judgment would never be wrong! The hunters who also heard Master Yuanye's call also became alert and began to pay attention to the abnormality of the land under their feet under Master Yuanye's reminder.

The leader who had pulled himself down from the anthill had just landed on the ground. Because of his position, he immediately discovered the area of ​​unusual movement.

"Everyone retreat! A big guy is coming!"

Everyone quickly left the ceratosaurus. In less than two seconds, the ground began to shake and sand flowed towards the low-lying areas.

Immediately afterwards, an even larger ceratosaurus rushed out from the ground, flapping its wings, and its tail hammer, like a thousand-pound weight, smashed the wooden nails fixed in the rock along with the rock.

After looking around at the hunters who were about to surround him with those violent eyes, he let out a deafening roar, causing the hunters who were caught off guard to cover their ears and show uncomfortable expressions on their faces.

The ceratosaurus that rushed out had no intention of fighting. While the hunters were affected by the roar, it quickly dug a hole with the ceratosaurus that had been restrained before, and disappeared underground under the cover of quicksand.

The hunters who had recovered looked at each other in bewilderment. Their hunting plan of so many days had been ruined because of an unexpected ceratosaurus.

Everyone was feeling a little frustrated, but those present were all experienced hunters, and it was not the first time that hunting failed due to new uncontrollable factors. They quickly calmed down and waited for further instructions from the commander-in-chief without any help.

"Really? There's actually a horned dragon this big. It's really a headache~"

The Grand Commander casually picked up the large shield that had been knocked away and rubbed his sore shoulders.

"That's all for now! Let's go back to the camp and rest."

There were no words of encouragement, nor any summary, but it was this cheerful yet annoyed look that made everyone relax. They joked with each other while packing up their belongings and walked towards the camp.

It was just a failed hunt and no one was injured, so it's not worth making a fuss about.

At night, the starry sky over the Great Anthill Wasteland is exceptionally bright.

Next to the campfire in the center of the camp, the Grand Commander took a big sip of water, picked up a large plate of stewed meat that the logistics Felynx brought over, blew on it, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

"Wow! Aunt Cat's stew is still as delicious as ever!"

"Hey, Sita, didn't you say you would take some time to learn from Aunt Cat's cooking skills? Why haven't you done anything in such a long time?"

The captain's Elu cat raised his eyebrows coolly and looked at the captain who had a teasing look on his face, and blew into the soup in the bowl with big gulps.

It has already become a disciple, but has not yet officially started learning!
Although the master's stew is delicious, it is too hot and not cat-friendly at all!
"Ah! You bastard!"

The captain, who knew his follower Felynx's personality very well, laughed. He just liked its style of being quiet and quick in action.

"Captain, today's logistics statistics are out, and they are not very optimistic."

The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looked very gentle even though he was covered in dust, walked to the campfire with a statistical sheet and said.
