Brave the world of monster hunting with a pokeball

Chapter 40 Hatred
slap!

Li Fan stepped into the mud, drew his knife and slashed.

The blade sliced ​​into the mud attached to the body surface, and quickly slashed across without touching the carapace.

Although there is only a gap left, but at the same time that there is no knife, he has also absorbed the training energy.

Sure enough, before the silt on the body surface has dried and hardened, the slashing system can easily cut through the silt.

Li Fan verified his conjecture through actual combat.

There are three attack types of weapons in Monster Hunt.

Slash, hit, bounce.

Slashing can be simply understood as a sharp weapon attack, causing damage by cutting and slicing.

Strike can be understood as a blunt weapon attack, causing damage by impact and gouging.

Bullet strikes are long-range ammunition strikes.

Corresponding to different parts of the monster, different meat quality, different attribute injections, and the damage of the three attack methods are also different.

Changes in carapace coverage and skin quality, or the emergence of surface attribute energy, can all affect the destructive power of weapons.

Monster Hunter World will definitely not follow the damage calculation formula in the game, but Li Fan believes that the general tendency should be the same.

For example, the surface carapace of some parts of the monster was crushed and peeled off due to continuous attacks, and the internal flesh was exposed. If you continue to attack this position, the damage caused will inevitably increase.

This kind of thing can be deduced with common sense regardless of the real game.

The reason why I focused on it is because before preparing to hunt the sand dragon, Li Fan heard two completely different opinions when listening to the experiences of other hunters.

Some hunters insisted that as long as the slashing weapons can control the distance well, they can easily cut through the silt armor attached to the surface of the earth sand dragon.

Others said that only combat weapons can crush the silt armor most quickly.

Li Fan originally thought it was because of which type of weapon was more suitable for hunting earth sand dragons, which caused controversy.

But when I heard that both sides firmly believe that the other party's statement is wrong, not only will it lead to the failure of the hunt, but even the loss of life, I am a little confused at once.

Hunter Expedition Hunting is a matter of life, no one will argue about this kind of thing.

But if both sides are right, then there is a lack of a reasonable explanation.

Just now, Li Fan solved this doubt through an attack attempt in actual combat.

The two waves of people with opposing views, in fact, no one is wrong.

It's just that when they encountered the earth sand dragon, the state of the silt armor attached to the body surface was different.

Sand dragons like to dive in mud puddles, letting the wet mud soak their skin.

But there is always a time to go out to hunt. At this time, the wet silt armor will slowly solidify.

If it is distinguished from the appearance, it will change from dark gray to off-white.

The soft and wet silt armor naturally cannot resist the cutting of slashing weapons.

But for strike weapons, it has a strong impact resistance effect.

To put it bluntly, it is a lump of limp mud. If you hit it with a strike weapon, most of the force will be offset.

Solidified silt armor is just the opposite.

The carapace on the surface of the soil sand dragon is already very hard. After it is highly integrated with the solidified silt armor, if the slashing weapon wants to cause damage, it must cut two layers of carapace.

This has very high requirements for the sharpness of the weapon and the strength of the slash.

If it is performed by the average level of a three-star hunter, it is basically impossible to achieve it.

Strike weapons are different. The sledgehammer is 80 and the small hammer is 40. No matter how hard you are, you can shatter pieces of solidified silt armor with a few blows.

puff!puff!
Li Fan swung the Taidao and kept slashing.

With the poor sharpness of the jaw blade, he clearly knew that it was impossible to cut through the case of the earth sand dragon.

But through the continuous cutting of the surface silt, the Qi training quickly accumulated to the limit.

Li Fan's idea is very simple, since the wet silt armor can't resist slashing weapons.

Then as long as you master the distance of the knife, and use the air blade to penetrate the carapace on the surface of the earth sand dragon, you can cause devastating damage to its internal flesh.

One of the biggest difficulties is to judge the thickness of the silt.

When the slashing point scratches the carapace a little closer, the knife will bounce. After all, the air blade slash is not a dimension slash.

If it is a little farther away, it can only cut into big mud, and it will not cause any damage.

Moreover, the soil sand dragon is not a training stake, the whole body is in motion, and the difficulty of successfully achieving precise air blade slashing has further increased.

When Li Fan was walking to find a suitable angle, the silt constantly spreading under his feet brought a lot of resistance to his movement.

slap!slap!
It was muddy, and Li Fan had to raise his feet very high before he could take a step.

"It's not over, is it? Still throwing it away."

Li Fan said casually, never thinking that Tu Shalong really stopped.

Turning his head back slightly to confirm Li Fan's position, the thick and hard tail flicked over immediately.

Earth Sand Dragon's movements were coherent and fierce without any hesitation, and everything happened very quickly.

Li Fan subconsciously wanted to use the Slash to meet the attack, but after hesitating for a moment, he responded with a safer sideways lunge.

It's just that he overlooked one point. Due to the continuous accumulation of silt, the area under his feet is no longer full of water.

Paji!Li Fan fell into the mud pit. Although he got up as fast as he could, his body was still covered with mud.

Seeing this, the earth sand dragon walked up to him, raised the carapace of the crown high, and then smashed it down violently.

Boom!Mud and water splash.

Li Fan rolled and followed by flying lunges before barely dodging.

The earth sand dragon raised its head slowly, and was about to continue its pursuit. Kuku, who was ramming with a bird cart, flew from the side.

Bang!
One of the knocked paws of the Earth Sand Dragon lifted off the ground, but it managed to maintain its balance before falling sideways.

Li Fan got up again, but this time he couldn't maintain the posture of holding the Taidao under the violent movement.

Hastily put the knife back into its sheath, and after pulling it far enough, squatted in the water and began to wash off the mud on his body.

Otherwise, there will be mud attached, and the body's mobility will be greatly restricted.

However, Tushalong ignored Kuku, and the carapace of the crown was lowered to be level with the ground, facing Li Fan's position.

Sure enough, the pain left by the hunter to this earth sand dragon is unforgettable.

It made it hate hunters far more than Kuku.

Li Fan confirmed the conjecture, but his current situation is not good.

He touched the satiety ball loaded with puffs on the shoulder strap, and after a short hesitation, he did not take off the satiety ball after all.

The sand dragon was indeed angry, but not to the point of losing his mind.

You have to further irritate the opponent before you can release the puffs.

Despite the danger, Li Fan still didn't forget that the key point of this capture was not the lack of combat power, but that the earth sand dragon would escape prematurely.

Woo!Woo!
On the top of the carapace of the crown, breath gushes out.

Li Fan already had experience in dealing with collisions that would not temporarily adjust the orientation.

At this time, most of the silt attached to the leather armor was washed away by the water flow.

Get up, bide your time, roll!

Li Fan avoided the collision again and quickly followed from behind.

When he was close to drawing the sword, half of the training energy in the training tank had already been lost, but it was enough to swing two swords.

puff!puff!
The traces of two cuts appeared on the surface of the silt armor on the hind legs.

There is no bullet, only a slight sense of obstruction, indicating that the blade and the carapace are not in contact.

But whether the air blade has penetrated the carapace and cut into the fleshy inside cannot be observed from the muddy outside.

Did you make it?

Li Fan stared quietly.

Woohoo!

The sand dragon let out a low growl.

One hind leg immediately went limp, and the whole body sank downward, making a half-kneeling position on one leg.

However, this state only lasted for a moment, and the limp hind legs quickly stood upright, stepping firmly into the water.

Hmm. The air blade should have slashed through the carapace to the flesh, but the damage caused by the first type of jaw blade is too low.

Earth Sand Dragon turned his head and looked back again.

Li Fan had just experienced this trick, and it was probably a tail-flicking attack that involved turning around.

Seeing the gap left by the sword's slash on the carapace of the earth-sand dragon's head crown, Li Fan didn't want to continue to dodge.

Because the remaining qi training in the Taidao is simply not enough to perform a qi blade slash.

Let it dissipate into the air, it is better to take it for a fight.

Another reason is that after the sand dragon flicks its tail, its body orientation will be reversed.

Li Fan, who came to chase after him, was at the rear right now. After the tail flick was completed, he could face his head directly without moving.

What I have been practicing with Kuku is to resist tail flicking with the see-through slash. As long as you find the right timing, you will definitely be able to do it!

Li Fan encouraged himself with his rich experience in special practice.

call!The mud-covered brown tail swung with a gust of wind.

Since there was a small amount of qi training left in the qi training tank, Li Fan stepped back first to ensure his own safety as much as possible.

Then use the left leg as the central axis, and the body turns quickly.

The light blue mist of Qi training spilled out along the back of the jaw-blade type [-] knife, covering the area in front of Li Fan.

The moment the mist-like qi training took shape, the earth sand dragon's tail whipped over.

hum!
A slight hum sounded.

The activated mist-like Qi training suddenly dispersed, and the brightness skyrocketed.

And the flicking and whipping of the earth sand dragon's tail, as if hitting cotton, the strength suddenly decreased.

The blown-up filled training qi was reinjected into the qi training tank as Li Fan swung his knife upwards.

Although it is not like in the game, the qi training tank will be filled after a successful judgment, but it is enough to release three qi blade slashes.

After turning around, Tu Shalong's head was facing Li Fan.

Half of the black dot-shaped pupils are angry and half are curious.

In its mind, if the human hunter in front of him couldn't dodge, then the flick of his tail just now should have sent him flying.

The distance was too close, and the Qi Blade Slash that was swung horizontally could not be used at all, and the only thing that could be used was a straight slash from top to bottom.

Although Li Fan was afraid, the gap on the carapace of the crown was close in front of him, so he didn't want to give up!
Raise the knife with both hands, and cut it down violently!
The Jawblade Type [-] fell into the gap precisely, and the khaki horny fragments splashed everywhere.

It seemed that the healing cuticle was not strong, and as the blade was pressed down, a crack was split from top to bottom in the carapace of the crown.

The cracks on the horny skin even extended to the eyes of the earth sand dragon.

puff!

A thin stream of blood spurted out along the horny crack.

Tu Shalong's whitened eyeballs were filled with countless bloodshots, and after congealing and intertwining, two scarlet eyes slowly lifted up, staring at Li Fan tremblingly.

Seeing this scene, Li Fan suddenly recalled the scene in Kung Fu where Zhou Xingchi took the table leg and beat the head of Huoyun evil god.

This time, he must have been completely irritated.

As soon as Li Fan let go, he simply didn't even want the Jaw-blade Type [-] that was stuck.

"Get out of the way! The earth sand dragon is about to kill!"

While running, Li Fan gave instructions to Di Lu and Kuku.

Woo! ! ! !Woo! ! ! !
There are five air holes on the top of the crown carapace, spewing out a row of scorching air waves.

Tu Shalong didn't charge at all this time, before he lowered his head, he charged at Li Fan.

Li Fan, who was running away with his back, turned his head and looked behind for a while, then rolled sideways to avoid.

When he got up again, he was already holding the satiety ball.

"I wanted to hunt you with an ordinary hunter, but what I got in exchange was a fatal attack. Don't pretend, come out Puff!"

Li Fan swung his arm vigorously and threw it at Tushalong.

Earth sand dragon turned around, and saw a curled-up bubble fox dragon facing him.

He was stunned for a moment, then let out a sharp roar, raised his crest and carapace without showing any weakness, and smashed towards him.

Puff slid her body on the water surface, stepped back lightly, and Tushalong's attack was easily avoided.

When Earth Sand Dragon raised his head again, before he could see the situation clearly, a stream of water flew across his body.

Wherever it passed, mud flew up, and the carapace cracked, leaving a long and thin wound.

Li Fan immediately saw that large monsters do generally have an advantage in terms of strength.

But when facing an attack, the attack surface that one has to bear will also be wider.

Dilu only needs to bend slightly to avoid the water ray.

Even if the earth sand dragon is lying on the ground, don't even try to hide.

Oh!Another roar!
Earth Sand Dragon still didn't back down, apparently losing his mind.

Li Fan wanted to withdraw first, but found that Tu Shalong's eyes moved with him.

So he could only call Kuku first, crawl on his back and take off into the sky.

"I saw meow! Chop up the earth sand dragon head crown with one knife!"

Di Lu, who was lying on Li Fan's back, recorded it in a small notebook very excitedly.

"Write again when you have time, hurry up and don't fall."

Li Fan reminded that there is no need to worry about falling injuries.

But if unfortunately it falls next to the sand dragon, or within the attack range of puffs, Di Lu is likely to lose his life.

There is no riding cushion on Kuku's back, so Li Fan can only hug Kuku's neck tightly.

Di Lu observed for a moment, and put her two cat's claws around Li Fan's neck.

One bird, one person, one cat.

The three heads were stacked together, all looking down.

"Kuku, you are the captain, why don't you read it."

Li Fan waited and watched for a long time before realizing something was wrong.

Wow
Kuku let out a resentful cry, and stopped looking at the battlefield on the ground.

Boom!The big tail with purple fluff smashed down.

The earth sand dragon was overturned and fell to the ground by a blow, and slid a long way on the water surface before stopping.

Puff was not in a hurry to chase, but faced each other end to end, and quickly slid his body on the spot.

As the bubbles continued to overflow, the rotation speed became faster and faster, the friction sound gradually intensified, and a vortex formed in the center.

Whoosh!Puff jumped up at a speed too fast to see clearly, and rushed towards the earth sand dragon who had just turned over.
