Monster Hunter Gathering

What it cares about now is not just the food that can be used to fill its stomach from these bipeds. It now wants to completely get rid of the guy who attacked its important horn.

But... before Kirin could walk towards Yang Le and David who were heading towards the building, Tanjiro had already stood in front of Kirin alone with a katana in hand. The flame-like markings on his forehead had burned to the limit, concentrating Tanjiro's vigorous vitality and bursting out at this moment.

"Qilin! Your opponent is me!!!" Tanjiro yelled, "I won't let you pass!!!"

The Qilin's response was only the thunder controlled by its horns and the various attacks from the ancient dragon's terrifying body.

Tanjiro completely relied on his own transparent world to bring out all his advantages and used his breathing techniques to the limit.

Shirou had also stood on a high place, holding a bow and arrow and looking at the battle below in a daze.

Among the four people now, he is the worst at fighting.

Yang Le's extraordinary talent even allows him to hurt Qilin. David has learned a lot of experience in his long career as a mercenary.

Tanjiro has experienced countless life-and-death battles at a young age, and his experience in Nimbus combat is among the best among all hunters.

But Emiya Shirou is not like that. He can't even think of what he should do now.

Chapter 243 Rapidly Growing Newcomers

Nie Chiwu said that he knew a lot about Shirou Emiya, but in his world - the world of Magical Girl Illya, Shirou Emiya was indeed just an ordinary high school student.

From the beginning to the end, even though Illya encountered so many dangers later, he was just an ordinary high school student.

But how could Shirou Emiya accept such a thing?

He already knew that Illya's future would be difficult, so how could he pretend that nothing had happened?

"I can't just do nothing."

Shirou Emiya gritted his teeth and started moving around with his bow and arrow.

Now Tanjiro has completely attracted Kirin's attention, giving Shirou Emiya plenty of time to launch harassment attacks.

Shirou Emiya smashed the power bottle into the bow and arrow, stood on a high place and began to charge towards Kirin.

Shirou Emiya remained calm, exerting all his previous strength in the Kyudo Club, and trying his best to steady his heartbeat.

There are still many differences between hunters' hunting and archery in the Kyudo Club.

There is not enough time left for Shirou Emiya to calm down, adjust his mentality and perfect every movement of Kyudo with any solemn etiquette.

During the current hunting process, Shirou Emiya only has to do one thing, which is to be as accurate as possible and hit the Kirin's body with every arrow. Even if it can only weaken the Kirin's strength, that is the best he can do now.

Faster, faster.

It doesn't matter how graceful the movements are. Instead of chasing that state of calmness, it is better to put all your mental energy into hunting with a bow and arrow.

All the willpower and concentration of Kyudo can be taken...and all Shirou Emiya needs to do is to shoot the most arrows in the shortest time, causing the most attack and damage.

"one!"

After charging the arrow, Shirou Emiya shot it directly, then slid away from his original position without hesitation, and charged the arrow again using the force of the slide.

Shirou Emiya's attack had already attracted Kirin's attention, but Kirin had no time to turn his head and approach Shirou Emiya in the distance.

At this moment, Tanjiro was trying his best to stand in front of Kirin.

Once Kirin tries to cross him to attack other people, Tanjiro will use his katana to block it, and use the kind of move that will make a "ding" sound to parry his attack, and stop its advance.

So the Qilin could only release thunder and lightning, bombarding the surroundings indiscriminately.

Shirou Emiya also felt a great danger.

"two!"

The moment the second charged shot flew out of the bow, Shirou Emiya decisively slid to another place again, and behind him, the thick lightning fell down almost brushing against Shirou Emiya's body.

Shirou Emiya had no doubt that if he were to touch even a little bit of that lightning, he would be turned into a ball of charcoal by the terrifying electric current of who knows how many volts.

This was the first time that Shirou Emiya experienced the feeling of dancing on a sword.

But what surprised even Emiya Shirou himself was that he felt he had unexpectedly adapted to the current situation.

"three!!"

While running, Shirou Emiya attacked the Kirin who was being held back by Tanjiro, buying enough time for others.

The Qilin is a test for these new hunters, and also a prelude to countless trials in the future.

If he and other hunters want to change the original future, they can only bravely move forward to challenge these problems that seem impossible to ordinary people.

In order to protect others...he has to do this!

As Qilin continued to run, dodge, and slide, one terrifying arrow after another fell from the sky and hit him.

There were even some arrows with special arrowheads mixed in, and those arrowheads were directly attached to the Qilin's body.

When Shirou Emiya turns to a point where there is an obstacle between him and the Kirin, the special arrows equipped with guidance will directly attract the arrows in the direction of the Kirin, causing cumulative damage to the Kirin from a special angle. (New Wild Bow Action - Guiding Arrow)

During the time when Tanjiro and Emiya Shirou were holding back Kirin, David and Yang Le once again joined the battle.

"Tanjiro!!! I'm coming!"

After David emerged from the ruins, he simply tore off his torn coat, revealing his muscular upper body. Holding a shield and a rifle, he stood in front of the crowd: "I... can handle this!!"

"Cut off its horns!!"

David yelled, "All of you attack its horns together!!!"

"Its attack! Leave it to me!"

David's left hand directly pulled the trigger and began to charge. The loud sound produced by the gunfire directly attracted Qilin's attention.

David slammed the barrel of his rifle against his shield, making himself more conspicuous. "Come on! You unicorn!!!"

"David..." Tanjiro hesitated briefly, but Yang Le had already transformed into a demon and flew past Tanjiro, attacking Kirin's horn that controlled thunder without hesitation.

Seeing that no one else had any hesitation, Tanjiro also put aside his distracting thoughts and rushed towards Kirin.

David, holding a gunlance, is responsible for attracting the Kirin and defending against attacks; Shirou Emiya is responsible for long-range attacks that cause weakening; Yoraku is responsible for finding gaps and causing damage in close combat; and Tanjiro is the core of the team, holding a katana.

Four young men of the same age are simultaneously exploiting their potential and growing rapidly in the battle against the ancient dragon.

All of this was captured by various cameras or the remaining NCPD members and began to spread in Night City.

Just as the truth cannot be hidden, the battle between the four young men and Qilin caused a huge wave in Night City almost in the blink of an eye.

Some people are questioning whether this is just a fake, synthesized video.

But as more and more videos from other angles came out, the Night City internet has completely exploded.

Some people questioned whether the company created the silver-white monster, while others were asking who the four young men were.

But Rogge was cursing.

"They actually let four guys fight this monster head-on! Where did that bastard Nie Chiwu run off to?!"

Chapter 244: The Hermit Qiao and the Anxious Lucy

At the same time that Tanjiro and the other four boys were fighting a life-and-death battle with Kirin, Nie Chiwu and the others on the other side had their motorcycles exploded due to a battle.

Instead... Hunters have captured new vehicular trophies across Night City.

A hovercraft of military technology!

In that brief encounter just now, these cyberpunk Night City country bumpkins with military technology witnessed with their own eyes what it means to exist beyond common sense.

Their combat hovercraft and ground-based armored vehicles looked like a pile of toy cars in front of this group of guys riding mannequins who looked like they had walked out of a storybook.

Out of nowhere, a huge shield would appear in front of their vehicle, floating in the air, and then crash into them, killing them and preventing them from even escaping.

It’s incomprehensible. They can’t even scan what kind of prosthetics these monsters are using.

Even Adam's Hammer, the crystallization of Arasaka's technology, which is like an army on the battlefield, at least has traces to follow.

But this group of monsters, armed with primitive weapons and seemingly unmodified, could not only create non-existent shields out of thin air, but even huge dog heads could emerge from their shields and tear a huge armored vehicle into pieces.

And there may be a terrifying hacker among them. When a driver of the hovercraft wanted to fight back, he was horrified to find that his operation was completely ineffective, and even a large amount of information was flowing back into his brain from the hovercraft.

All that was left for his companions was his wailing before he disconnected from the channel... and the young man who stood directly on the hovercraft like an Italian statue.

If... there were people among them who could see ghosts or substitutes, they would be able to see from another perspective of the world that a large number of vines were extending from Er Qiao's hands like reins, controlling this high-tech floating vehicle full of military technology like taming a wild horse.

"Hidden Purple is the most useful Stand!!"

As Er Qiao suddenly pulled his stand upwards, the hovercraft under his feet seemed to be a wild horse with its reins pulled. It flew upwards under the control of Hermit Zi, turned around and flew towards Nie Chiwu.

"Captain! We've got the vehicle!" Er Qiao controlled the hovercraft like a horse while shouting to his companions, "It's time to go!!!"

"Well done! JOJO!" At this moment, Nie Chiwu used the insect stick in his hand to pierce through a speeding armored vehicle from top to bottom, then raised his head and jumped up directly with the insect stick.

Although he couldn't see the Hermit Purple, Nie Chiwu still extended his hand to Qiao Qiao with trust: "Go pick up Naofumi and Laos!!!! Tanjiro and the others have already started fighting with Kirin! They can't hold out for much longer!!!"

"Oh!!" Er Qiao swung the thick rope made of several thorns suddenly, which just tied up Nie Chiwu's arms and pulled Nie Chiwu onto the hovercraft.

"Control the hovercraft and pull me up at the same time...JOJO, how developed is your stand now?" Nie Chiwu asked while standing behind JoJo, holding JoJo's shoulders to stabilize his body.

"It's a lot... but I don't think it's my limit yet."

Er Qiao, without even turning back, piloted the hovercraft through the sky. "I can sense that my Stand still has a lot of potential to grow! I'm far from reaching the limits of my physical and mental strength!"

"……Well."

Nie Chiwu's expression became a little subtle.

To be honest, when Er Qiao's double appeared in the original novel, Er Qiao was already an elderly man who had rarely practiced wave ripples for a long time. His mental and physical strength were far inferior to his youth.

But now Er Qiao's situation...

The color he used doesn't look like the normal Hermit Purple at all.

"Laos! Naofumi! Show me your hands!!!"

Er Qiao controlled the hovercraft and prepared to pick up the other two people.

Naofumi Iwatani also directly grabbed Laos who was baring his teeth at others, and then condensed several spiritual shields from the air, and aimed the Four Holy Shields at the ground, then suddenly released the spikes of the Nergigante Shield towards the ground, and used the reaction force to jump onto the spiritual shield.

After several consecutive jumps, Naofumi Iwatani also jumped high into the sky with Laos, and then was caught by the Hermit Purple thrown out by Jotaro, and then they got on the hovercraft together.

"Aren't we going in?" Naofumi Iwatani glanced at the driver who was unconscious in the hovercraft because of the backflow of the read and written information.

"There's not enough room inside! And the view here is better!" Er Qiao piloted the hovercraft: "Hold on! I'm going to speed up!"

Er Qiao was not stingy with the fuel of the hovercraft and pushed the acceleration module to the highest level.

Under the watchful eyes of those from the defeated military technology, the four living devils finally left the area and rushed towards Night City.

And at this moment...

Mann and his companions, who were following Rogue's commission to invade a small factory in Arasaka, were outside the factory preparing to hack into the factory's system.

"Qiwei, Lucy, the factory is now less well guarded. See if you two can directly burn the brains of that corporate hacker in this factory." Mann said this bluntly.

"It's not that easy. He's an Arasaka hacker, even though he's just a guard at a small factory." Qiwei connected the signal dissatisfiedly.

In this kind of offensive battle, the heat dissipation of the opposing hackers is much better than theirs, so they cannot compete directly in performance and can only use some small backdoors.

But... after Lucy connected to the Arasaka Factory network, she noticed some internal information circulating on the Arasaka Factory network.

Originally, those things had nothing to do with Lucy, but Lucy suddenly noticed...

There is a face in the video that Lucy is particularly familiar with.

"David?"

Lucy's heart suddenly began to beat. While looking for the loopholes of the factory hacker, Lucy also devoted a lot of energy to paying attention to the internal information of Arasaka.

The more Lucy paid attention, the more certain she became...that one of the four people fighting against some unknown monster was the David she knew.

Then... Lucy saw the scene in the intelligence where Kirin killed two of them, seriously injured the remaining two, and left.

The young man with dark red hair and the other guy wearing a strange bird headgear were both directly crushed by the Qilin.

Lucy also saw David lying in the ruins with his right arm seriously injured.
