Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

The sword energy that was condensed and refined during his repeated attacks was also injected into the sword body as he moved, and finally turned into a dazzling red air blade, which chopped down vertically along with the iron-gray steel sword edge.

Air blade cuts!

The power of this sword was incomparable to the previous thrust. The moment the blade fell, a narrow and long blade appeared on the side of the deformed ice shark, and a large amount of blood gushed out, dyeing the ice surface beneath it bright red.

Feeling the fatal threat, the deformed ice shark ignored the pain in its abdomen and hind legs and quickly turned over.

Orlan originally thought that the animal would fall because of the loss of one of its hind legs, and at worst would stumble and have difficulty standing on the ice. However, he did not expect that this guy's movements were still quite steady.

It used its two strong forelimbs to support most of its body weight, which together with its thick tail formed three stable fulcrums.

The intact right hind foot was placed on the ice to help maintain balance, while the broken left leg was fully raised, revealing the white bone stump at the fracture.

This can even stand?!

Ao Lang looked stunned, but he soon realized that he seemed to have taken things for granted.

Ordinary land quadrupeds would naturally limp if they were missing a leg, but the transforming ice shark is an amphibious species.

Just like the deformed young ice sharks we encountered before, they don’t even have hind limbs, only two small bulges. Even so, they can still move flexibly on the ice.

So it doesn't seem surprising that an adult deformed ice shark can stand and walk without a hind leg.

However, my previous efforts will not be in vain.

Many of the Transformed Ice Shark's movements, including lunging, dragon carts, turning, etc., require the power of its hind legs to propel it forward.

It is true that a deformed ice shark without a leg can continue to move on the ice, but its speed and flexibility will inevitably be affected.

After realizing this, Orlan began to try to go around the right rear of the transformed ice shark.

Sure enough, as he expected, the transformed ice shark's turning speed slowed down a lot.

He didn't even need to activate his demon transformation. Just by running at his normal speed, he managed to get behind his opponent before he turned around.

He slashed several times with his sword at the flanks and hind legs that were not protected by the ice armor, and then continued to run around, circling around it, continuously consuming the monster's physical strength.

This kind of war of attrition is not very pleasant to watch, and doing so in the arena will even draw boos from the audience.

But in actual hunting, any hunter with a sound mind would not miss such an opportunity.

It would be great if we could grind the monster to death.

However, the monster was not a dead creature without a brain. After several failed attempts to turn around and attack, the Transformed Ice Shark realized that it could not continue like this and stopped moving.

Once again, Orlan circled behind the target but did not rush to attack. Instead, he kept a safe distance and remained on high alert.

He had a feeling that this guy was going to come up with a new trick.

The deformed ice shark was seen gripping the ice surface with its only three remaining claws to stabilize its body, while its head was lowered and its whole body was trembling slightly.

A strange sound, like liquid boiling violently, came from its body.

The next second, the deformed ice shark's streamlined body began to swell rapidly in its abdomen, and the ice armor covering its body was instantly shattered. In just one or two seconds, it swelled into a funny round ball.

“Gua ...

Looking at the deformed ice shark that was as swollen as a ball and swaying on the ice, Orlan couldn't help feeling puzzled.

He knew that the Transformer Ice Shark had the ability to inflate its body into a ball, but why would it do that? Wouldn't that make its movements even slower?

Just as I was wondering, I saw the round and deformed ice shark puff out its belly and leap up.

It didn't jump very high, only about two or three meters, but the moment it fell back onto the ice, large pieces of ice shattered.

"grass!"

Orlan couldn't help but swear, this guy wants to destroy the ice!

Chapter 229 Dead

Bounced up again like a ball, the round and deformed ice shark pounced towards Orlan.

Orlan retreated quickly and finally ran to a safe distance before the fat ball fell.

"Boom--!"

The ice surface trembled violently again, making it almost impossible to stand steadily. Spider-web-like cracks appeared rapidly. If this continued, the ice surface, which was not very thick to begin with, would be completely smashed.

The deformed ice shark is an amphibious species, so it will be fine if it falls into the icy sea. In fact, because of its broken hind leg, it can move more flexibly in the water than on the ice.

But if I fall into the sea, I will be in trouble. Although I can swim, I lack experience in underwater combat. The cold sea water will quickly take away my heat. Then I will be at an absolute disadvantage and even my life will be in danger!

We can't retreat anymore, we must attack and suppress it to prevent it from bouncing and destroying the ice!

Orlan approached in a roundabout way.

The ice surface within a thousand square meters around the deformed ice shark has shattered, but fortunately the floating ice has not been completely disrupted. It is just like a puzzle piece being put together, and it is very unstable when stepped on.

With his nimble steps, he jumped between large pieces of ice and quickly came to the side of the deformed ice shark.

At this moment, the transformed ice shark wanted to turn around, but it could only jump to adjust its direction. Orlang took the opportunity to slash with several swords in succession. His goal was clear: to cut through the balloon-like belly!

The sword blade penetrated the flesh and smoothly cut several bloody wounds.

From the feel transmitted back from the hilt of the sword, it can be felt that the meat on the belly of the deformed ice shark in the expanded state is of quite good quality, but Orlan's expression did not become better because of this.

Through the cut belly, Orlan noticed that it was not the belly of the deformed ice shark that held the gas, but some kind of elastic organ.

No wonder.

The air blade he had used before had already cut a large hole in the side of the Transformed Ice Shark. If the Transformed Ice Shark used its belly to hold air, it would have leaked long ago.

As for what that organ was, he couldn't be sure.

Lungs? Stomach? Or perhaps a fish bladder? In any case, this thing was incredibly tough, and its surface was covered in thick connective tissue and fat, so a sword would easily slide away.

Realizing that it was slow to turn and couldn't catch up with the hunter's speed, the transformed ice shark changed its strategy and began to roll towards the hunter.

Looking at the huge ball rolling and crushing towards him, Orlan did not dare to be careless at all.

This guy's weight certainly can't be compared with a big guy like the Tail-clumped Dragon, but it's at least over ten tons. If it were crushed by it, there would be no other result except turning into a meat patty.

He interrupted the attack immediately and stepped back to create some distance.

The transformed ice shark ignored the hunter and continued to chase him, rolling and crushing him.

Putting aside the slightly funny posture, this might also be considered a dragon carriage?

The few meters that Jianqi had opened up were quickly caught up by the rolling deformed ice shark, and Orlan did not choose to see through and fight back.

After all, the power of the Insight Slash is not strong. If he cannot cut the belly of the transformed ice shark in one go, he will still be crushed.

Therefore, he chose to swing his sword to the side, turning the attack into displacement, and with a ninety-degree sideways rush, he dodged the crushing path of the deformed ice shark rolling dragon car.

The deformed ice shark whose dragon car missed the target continued to roll forward for several times before it barely stopped.

It jumped on the spot, turned around, opened its huge mouth, and its round body shrank, spraying a large ball of ice into the air.

The ice ball drew a high parabola in the air and fell towards the hunter.

Any hunter who can move freely will not be hit by such an attack. Orlan took a few quick steps forward and avoided the impact of the ice ball.

But the transformed ice shark's attack is not limited to this one. No one knows how many ice cubes are in its stomach. Balls of ice spurt out of its mouth like fountains, almost cutting off the hunter's entire attack route.

Faced with such a large-scale attack, most hunters would choose to retreat and temporarily avoid the attack. Heavy defenders like Muti, who are strong but slow-moving, might choose to stay where they are.

But Orlan chose the most radical response and continued to attack!

He transformed into a ghost, his eyes moving back and forth between the huge ice floes falling from the sky and the cracked and undulating ice floes under his feet, his charge speed not slowing down at all.

He dodged sideways to avoid a huge piece of falling ice, exerted force on his toes, and jumped flexibly to another relatively stable piece of ice before the ice under his feet flipped over.

He jumped and moved like this, and actually found a route for himself. He rushed out of the area covered with falling ice and rushed to the side of the target.

The transformed ice shark is still spitting ice. This attack is similar to breathing, and it cannot be stopped immediately if it wants to.

Orlan took the opportunity to go around to its side and locked onto the wound caused by the previous air blade cut.

The originally narrow wound expanded to more than one meter wide as the deformed ice shark's abdomen swelled. If one wanted to puncture this "big ball" in front of him, this was undoubtedly the best attack window.

Red Blade Slash? Air Blade Slash? Or Charged Slash?

No! Just like if you want to pop a rubber ball, no one would cut it with the blade, but would stab it with the tip.

A breakthrough attack is the most suitable for the current situation!

Aolan lowered his center of gravity and erected the Xia structure.

This was not a powerful sword move, but just the most basic thrust. However, with his extreme concentration, the sword energy was highly condensed, and the muscle strength was transmitted layer by layer, injecting this sword with a power far beyond that of an ordinary thrust.

In the stretched wound, beneath the cut fat and layers of connective tissue, a palm-sized piece of translucent membrane was faintly visible.

That was undoubtedly his goal.

As Orlan's gaze narrowed, it seemed as if the entire world had converged into that one point in his senses.

"drink!"

Orlan strode forward.

There was no gorgeous sword arc, nor dazzling blade light. The seemingly ordinary sword stabbed straight forward and hit the point in the center of his sight without any surprise.

With a light "puff" sound, the sword blade successfully pierced the translucent membrane and penetrated nearly half of it.

As if feeling that such a small hole was not enough to quickly release the gas, Orlan gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and pulled it down hard along the direction of the blade.

If you use a dagger to stab a smooth leather ball, the blade may slip due to the angle, but once it is actually stabbed, it is extremely easy to tear the ball apart.

Orlan easily tore a large hole nearly one meter long in the membrane.

White icy air gushed out from the breach. Orlan immediately put away his weapon and retreated quickly to avoid being hurt by the extremely cold airflow.

As the gas quickly dissipated, the round and deformed ice shark quickly returned to its original streamlined shape.

As the last trump card was revealed, the deformed ice shark realized that something was wrong and used its thick front claws to break the ice surface, trying to drill into the sea under the ice.

How could the hunter, who had finally reached this point, let his prey escape like this?

Orlan immediately raised the launcher and fired the sonic boom bomb that had been loaded before the battle began.

"Om-"

Under the burst of high-frequency noise, the deformed ice shark that was about to drill into the ice layer was directly blown out. It fell on the ice surface, and its whole body twitched violently as if it had been electrocuted.

Without any hesitation, Orlan immediately rushed to the front of the transformed ice shark, swinging the large sword at full speed.

Under the hunter's fierce attack, the deformed ice shark's head, which was already fragile and had lost the protection of the ice armor, soon became a bloody mess.

The hunter's momentum also rose with this powerful attack.

"It's almost over." Haifa put down the telescope in the distance.

The outcome of this hunt is no longer in doubt.

Huali still had that expressionless look on her face. "The Transformed Ice Shark isn't the type to willingly face death. Let's see if he can hold his ground in the end."

Stimulated by the threat of death, the deformed ice shark with blood all over its head was aroused to its final ferocity. It suddenly stood up and bit forward frantically.

Orlan, who was always on guard, retreated at the first sight and dodged the attack.

Seeing that the transformed ice shark took this opportunity to stand up, Orlan did not rush to launch a counterattack with the Insight Slash, but directly sheathed the sword and entered the Iai stance.

“Gahhhh!!”

At the moment the transformed ice shark let out a desperate roar, he swung his sword and rushed forward.

Oiai!

This sword interrupted the deformed ice shark's roar, and a huge gash was cut on its gills, with blood gushing out like a waterfall.

In this way, he condensed the sword energy to the limit again, and Orlang, who entered the red blade state, kept moving. Then he slashed with the red blade again, following the previous wound, and completely cut open the abdomen of the deformed ice shark.

Dragging its broken body, the transformed ice shark roared softly, its body filled with frost, trying to condense ice armor once again.

As long as it can condense ice armor, it can continue to fight!

But the hunter did not intend to give it another chance to fight to the death. While it was releasing its freezing air, he thrust forward with his sword.

The sword blade pierced through the gill slits of the deformed ice shark, and the hunter took advantage of the momentum to leap into the air.

A red light flashed, and the sword blade slashed down.

Before the frost condenses into ice armor, cut the deformed ice shark's head in half from the middle.
