Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

"How did it do that?!" Feng Ying couldn't help but exclaim.

Although the statement that the Ice Breath and Ice Armor cannot be used without water is only from Alva's analysis, but judging from the previous battle performance, these speculations are likely to be accurate.

If it wasn't really unable to use the ability to release extreme cold frost, why would the Ice Curse Dragon be suppressed by them for so long?

Hiding a trump card is not hidden like this

Hayata raised his weapon.

Staring at the Ice Curse Dragon that entered another state, not only did its appearance change, but its momentum also rose by more than one level.

"Alva's other previous guess is likely to be correct.

The way the Ice Curse Dragon replenishes water may not necessarily be by drinking water.

Its body temperature is extremely low, and the moisture in the air will naturally condense into water droplets on its body surface. It can absorb these water droplets and slowly but continuously replenish itself with water.

We were in the volcanic area before, and there was almost no water vapor in the air.

But now, we have come to the junction of the Molten Mountain Canyon and the Ancient Tree Forest. There are so many large trees growing here, and the air humidity is probably not too low.

So he warned us to stop the Ice Curse Dragon before it leaves the volcanic area."

"That's easy for him to say." Feng Ying muttered, keeping her eyes on her opponent.

Although the hunters were regretful, they did not feel panic.

They were prepared to face the Ice Curse Dragon in its prime. The previous easy battle did not mean that they could only fight this kind of intensity.

"Time is limited, it should not have had time to extract too much moisture from the air." Aiden reminded.

"Well, keep attacking!"

Hayata shouted, and rushed out with Fengying, trapping the stretched Ice Curse Dragon.

The Ice Curse Dragon, whose body was covered with ice armor composed of fine ice ridges and whose wings had become much wider, fluttered its wings and soared into the air.

Facing the hunters charging, the Ice Curse Dragon opened its sharp beak, and its silver-white extremely cold breath blasted out, sweeping forward.

This time, it no longer held back to save energy.

Hayata and Fengying adjusted their steps in time to avoid the direct attack of the breath, but the diffused frost alone made people's limbs stiff.

On the ground where the breath hit, an ice wall composed of irregular giant ice rose from the ground, blocking the hunters' charging route and obscuring their vision.

The hunters had to stop charging temporarily, alert to the subsequent attacks that might break the ice at any time.

However, this time, caution made them miss the best chance to pursue.

The speed of extracting water from the air is not fast, and the air here is not too humid because it is close to the volcanic area.

The supercooled water accumulated in the body of the Ice Curse Dragon is only enough for it to release a full-power breath after condensing the ice armor.

Its real purpose is to get rid of the hunters' entanglement.

Aiden, who is a little farther away and has a wider field of vision, was the first to realize this. He shouted to remind, "It wants to run!"

"Meow!"

Xianglan, who had been prepared for a long time, activated the stop insect cage.

The flash wing insects in the cage were stimulated, and the strong light burst out to cover the flying Ice Curse Dragon.

Unfortunately, the existence of those ice walls obscured the flash, and the flying ability of the Ice Curse Dragon in the ice armor state was significantly improved.

Taking advantage of the gaps where the hunters were blocked by the breath and ice walls, it has already flown into the sky.

The Ice Curse Dragon turned its body and flew towards the direction of the large lava lake again. Knowing that it was to reshape the ice armor, Hayata gritted his teeth.

"Chase!"

At the lava lake, the battle between the Alcohol Team and the Explosive Dragon continued.

Since the Explosive Dragon recklessly gave birth to the ancient slime mold and reactivated the critical state, Ted and the other two have been in a tough battle.

The Explosive Dragon in the critical state is stimulated by high temperature, the blood flow speed is accelerated, and the movement is more agile than in the normal state.

The power of the attack is also incomparable.

The most troublesome thing is the critical slime mold covering its whole body.

A little stimulation will detonate them.

Oshura, who used a crossbow to shoot from a long distance, was better, but the two swordsmen Ted Maka were completely restricted in their movements.

They didn't even dare to attack.

The protection of the Explosive Dragon armor and the explosion-resistant beads prevented the possibility of the ancient slime molds contaminated with weapons and armor from turning into portable bombs.

But the slime molds that exploded on the Explosive Dragon or fell on the ground and detonated were still amazing.

For the swordsmen, it felt like fighting a giant bomb barrel with the safety removed. It was not right to attack, nor was it right not to attack.

In desperation, they had to keep some distance.

Ted gave up the close combat mode of stabbing, slashing and bombarding, retreated to the middle distance, and switched to bombarding.

He was very glad that he had anticipated this situation before the mission, so he chose a radial gun rifle. Although the power of the bombardment at the middle distance was reduced, it was still powerful.

Maca was even more embarrassed.

The insect stick had the ability to attack from a distance, but the power was only better than nothing.

It was true that the dragon soul worm was an excellent hunting worm, but it could not be expected to sting the Explosive Dragon to death.

Maca had no choice but to constantly manipulate the dragon soul worm to attack the wound of the Explosive Dragon, leaving insect powder, and then look for an opportunity to retreat with one strike, which was quite strenuous.

The situation entered a war of attrition.

The Explosive Broken Dragon was seriously injured, and the slime mold in critical state was not completely under its control. It would self-destruct from time to time, causing damage to itself that was even more powerful than the attacks of the hunters.

At this time, the hunters' idea is no longer to kill them with weapons.

Instead, they constantly harass and deal with them, and at the same time continue to stimulate those slime molds in a critical state, hoping that those red-hot ancient slime molds will exceed the critical point of activity and explode again.

With the current state of the Explosive Broken Dragon, there is a high probability that it will not be able to withstand the next wave of explosions.

Maka quickly retreated with a flying circular slash at close range, detonating insect powder and activating a piece of slime mold at the same time.

She noticed that the muscles in the legs of the Fierce Broken Dragon were tightening, and she quickly shouted a reminder.

"Jump! Watch out!"

As the main attacker of the team, and at this time, he could be said to be the only attacker in the team, Urshula immediately stopped shooting, put away his weapon, turned around and ran away.

Even with his elbows, he knew that the target of the Explosive Broken Dragon's leaping attack must be himself.

"Roar!"

Sure enough, the strong legs of the Explosive Broken Dragon crushed the ground, leaped up, passed the Gunslinger who tried to stand between it and the shooter, and pounced towards Oshula.

At the moment when the Explosive Broken Dragon took off, Oshula suddenly changed direction.

Her previous turn and escape was just a fake move to induce the Explosive Shattering Dragon to jump further away, so that she could run in the opposite direction of the Explosive Shattering Dragon and dodge the attack more easily.

"Boom--!"

The violent Broken Dragon that landed behind Oshula caused the ground to shake.

The ground cracked, and lava even poured out of the cracks.

Oshula, who successfully avoided the attack by turning back quickly, continued to charge forward. She knew very well that she was not completely out of the attack range of the Explosive Broken Dragon.

Sure enough, the Explosive Broken Dragon swung its giant tail, and the six-edged tail mallet, which was more than a circle larger than her entire body, swung towards her.

If you are hit by this tail mallet, even if you are protected by armor, the best result is serious injury.

The moment the tail hammer was about to hit, she ducked and slid, keeping her body close to the ground, watching the giant tail sweep past her.

"Mom, that's scary!"

Oshura, who had escaped the disaster, jumped up and continued to run away, while Explosive Broken Dragon continued to pursue relentlessly.

It was impossible for a hunter to run past a thirty-meter-long giant beast with his legs. Fortunately, he had companions to cover him.

"Gaba!"

Babaka threw a flash bomb in time, and the burst of bright light deprived the Blast Dragon of its vision, temporarily interrupting its pursuit.

Maka, who was sprinting, glanced at the volcanic rocks not far away, gritted his teeth, launched his flying claws at the big horn on the head of the violent dragon, and flew up to the latter's face.
