Monster Hunter Gathering

At the moment after the ejection, a huge explosion of the Crazy Dragon Virus, just like the previous explosion, was detonated in the mecha.

The giant robot, which was tens of meters tall, was defeated in the blink of an eye and couldn't even stop Tianhuilong for more than twenty seconds.

Yang Le and Tanjiro rushed out the moment the cockpit was ejected. When the cockpit separated from the robot, a lot of the Crazy Dragon virus was still attached to it.

Although Kanoya Rui is able to drive a giant robot to fight, he is just a teenager without the mecha... This concentration of the Crazy Dragon virus infection could really affect his life.

Nie Chiwu endured the pain and poured a bottle of recovery medicine into his stomach.

He estimated that... among all the people present, there were less than a handful of people who could withstand the Tianhuilong head-on without being destroyed immediately.

But...why would Tenkai Ryu target Shimazaki Setsuna?

Nie Chiwu didn't understand, but he had some guesses.

A body reshaped by magic, the goddess's resurrection technique, and one of the core elements of power.

At least one of these three points is the reason why Tenkai Ryu has set his sights on Shimazaki Setsuna.

But what should we do now? How can we protect Shimazaki Setsuna and defeat Tenkai Ryu?

Leave this world for a while, make plans, and then hunt the Tianhui Dragon?

No, because of Tenkai Dragon, the flow of time in this world is the same as that of the gathering. The hunters may be able to return to the gathering, but Shimazaki Setsuna, who is the target of Tenkai Dragon, cannot.

Go and summon the Felyne to build devices such as dragon-bombing cannons that can threaten the ancient dragons?

No, not to mention the time required for assembly, with the ancient dragon's cognitive ability, it is impossible for it to sit idly by and watch a device that could threaten itself being assembled.

Now we are forcibly surrounding and killing the other party?

No, the strength of this Tianhui Dragon was far beyond Nie Chiwu's imagination. The explosion just now almost killed Nie Chiwu. If it weren't for Iwaya Naofumi who helped him block some of the damage from the explosion, Nie Chiwu would have been dragged away by the cat cart... If he forced a fight, who knows how many of these people who could not be resurrected would die in the battle.

"What should I do? How should I do it? Is there any way?" Nie Chiwu thought anxiously.

But those creatures have already realized what Tianhuilong wants to do.

"Wait! You can't stop it!" Nie Chiwu said directly: "You also saw that Kanoya Ruwei's huge robot was also destroyed immediately. At least let Xin Meier buy time now!"

"Mr. Hunter."

At this moment, Serega stood up in his magic mecha and said, "The range of the birdcage is limited..."

Sereja looked at Xinmeier, who was moving as fast as possible with Shimazaki Setsuna in the distance. "At this rate, the dragon will catch up with the girl soon. If I don't take action..."

"I know! I know..."

Nie Chiwu gritted his teeth and said, "Try to protect yourself as much as possible and delay the situation by harassing the enemy. I'm most familiar with Tianhuilong! I'll find a way!"

Almost the next moment after Nie Chiwu opened his mouth, those creatures rushed out. Even Xinghe Xikayu, the heroine of the yellow flower, joined the team to stop Tianhuilong.

And in the field, the person who cares about Setsuna the most is Altair.

At this moment, he was already chasing after him angrily and standing in front of Tianhuilong.

"What are you going to do to Setsuna...?!!"

Chapter 347: Tianhuilong's Appetite for Altair

Facing the Tenkai Ryuu that pounced on Shimazaki Setsuna, Altair did not hold back at all.

All things in the world opened up without any pause, unfolding a huge unknown magic circle, which suddenly collided with Tianhuilong.

Tianhuilong's flight was finally interrupted, but seeing that he was being stopped, Tianhuilong also looked straight at the tiny thing flying in the sky in front of him.

Tianhuilong opened its huge mouth without hesitation, and the purple-black dragon breath produced by the Mad Dragon Virus began to accumulate in Tianhuilong's mouth.

Tianhuilong's body rose slightly in the air, as if it was gathering strength... The next moment, the condensed Mad Dragon Virus breath, like a light cannon, directly hit the magic circle opened by Altair.

The huge impact, beyond Altair's expectation, spread across Senluo Wanxiang's open defenses, and the scattered Mad Dragon Virus even seemed to dye the entire sky black.

Nie Chiwu raised his head and looked at the Tianhuilong attacking Altair in the distance, feeling extremely complicated.

"Mad Dragon Compression Cannon..."

The magic circle opened by Altair soon developed cracks like glass under the impact of the Mad Dragon Compression Cannon.

Altair tried his best to increase his strength, but Senluo Wanxiang's defense continued to collapse under the attack of Tianhuilong.

The attack that Altair was currently enduring... was not based on any rules added according to the settings, but was simply a pure impact. Altair couldn't even use the power of the All-Seeing to reduce the settings to resolve it.

For Altair, the impact was too pure.

It was like an impact that could destroy mountains, break rocks, and shatter gold and jade. It hit her defense without any concealment.

This force is difficult to change, just like using a small force to move a large force. The prerequisite for being able to move a large force is... to have enough power of a small force first.

Before the magic circle shattered, Altair finally forced himself to use one of the chapters of Senluo Wanxiang to deflect Tianhuilong's attack.

The impact of the Mad Dragon Compression Cannon was partially absorbed by the defensive formation, and the remaining impact was difficultly redirected by Altair using Senluo Wanxiang.

The remaining mad dragon virus exploded, polluting the surrounding environment and blocking most of the vision. The characteristics of the mad dragon virus itself effectively blocked people's perception.

Altair realized something was wrong and was about to take action when she saw the huge dragon head of the Tianhui Dragon suddenly emerge from the mysterious miasma composed of the Mad Dragon Virus, open its huge mouth and bite down at her.

At this moment, Altair had no time to dodge and could only move his body in the air. His protective saber was immediately placed under the giant mouth of the Tianhui Dragon.

The sharp teeth of Tianhuilong suddenly bit down, shattering Altair's protective saber in almost an instant, and suddenly closed to bite Altair's right arm.

The sharp teeth directly cut off Altair's arm, but Altair didn't bother to look at his injuries. As soon as he was injured, he controlled Senluo Wanxiang to distance himself from Tianhuilong.

Just as Altair had been alert, after biting off her neighbor's teeth, the Tianhui Dragon bit again at an extremely fast speed towards the place where Altair had just been. If Altair had not dodged in the first time, she would have been swallowed by the golden dragon.

Altair suddenly realized... not only Shimazaki Setsuna, she was also the target of this golden dragon, but compared to her... Shimazaki Setsuna was the easier prey.

The next moment Altair realized this, Tianhuilong pounced on her again, but a flash of purple lightning struck Tianhuilong's head directly, deflecting Tianhuilong's sight and causing Tianhuilong to stop its wings and look for a target to attack itself.

Alice, who was currently circling high in the sky on her warhorse, looked at Tenkailong, who seemed to be fine despite taking a heavy blow from her, with an expression of uneasiness on her face.

At the moment when Alice attracted Tenkai Long's attention, on the other side, Cereja drove the magic mecha and directly grabbed the injured Altair, flying towards the buildings near the station, preparing to use those buildings to block Tenkai Long's sight.

"You...?!" Altair hadn't expected to get help, but Serega said bluntly, "You don't want your creator to be harmed by that dragon, do you?"

Sereja said directly: "Shimazaki Setsuna will stop what you wanted to do before! And... it's impossible for us to see Shimazaki Setsuna encounter such a thing just after his rebirth! And this world..."

Serega said, "If the world of the gods is destroyed, who knows what will become of our world?"

"And, you... would you like to see the world where your creator exists destroyed?" After Celega said this to Altair, the two of them had already hidden in the building. After Celega put Altair down and let her treat her injuries, she was also ready to rush out to attract Tianhuilong's attention to buy time for others.

At the same time... Nie Chiwu, who was upset, suddenly received a letter from an unexpected person.

"Laos!? You woke up?" Nie Chiwu looked at Laos in the rally channel. "I didn't have time to look for you before. Did you wake up on your own?"

Laos was a bit embarrassed in the assembly channel: "Uh... It seems that because of the change of scenery, the place where I fainted became the track, and then I was woken up by a train... When I woke up, I saw Altair fighting the Tenkai Dragon above my head..."

"Let's not talk about that! I discovered something!" Laos asked anxiously, "What happened after I lost consciousness? I just saw the Tenkai Dragon bite off Altair's arm... It seemed to be eating."

"The Tianhui Dragon preyed on Altair?" Nie Chiwu realized the reason, and then described what had happened before to Laos in brief words.

"So Tenkai Ryu has already dealt with the Black Eclipse Dragon, and is still attacking the resurrected Shimazaki Setsuna?" Laos also put himself in Tenkai Ryu's perspective to look at this matter.

After expending a great deal of energy and strength to hunt down their followers, Altair and Shimazaki Setsuna, the core with the strongest [Recognition Power], became the targets of the Tenkai Dragon's hunting...

As the hunter who, besides Nie Chiwu, had the deepest understanding of monsters, Laos took a deep breath and asked, "Captain... do you think we can successfully "repel" the Tianhui Dragon without suffering any casualties?"

"Repel..." Nie Chiwu gave a bitter smile: "Laos, we really did... underestimate the ancient dragon."

Chapter 348: The Shock of the Physics Magical Girl

Nie Chiwu knew what Laos meant by no damage.

With the cat car there, at least the members in the assembly will not be in danger of life, but facing the sudden appearance of the Tianhui Dragon... Nie Chiwu finds it difficult to imagine a foolproof way to repel the Tianhui Dragon without causing irreparable damage.

Not to mention... the hunters' mission this time is to [subdue] the source of the Mad Dragon Virus.

Nie Chiwu looked up at the winged lion beside him. The lion licked its paw lazily and shook its head at Nie Chiwu's gaze. "Grandma Cat strictly forbids me from interfering with hunters' missions. I'm happy to help you in non-mission situations, but not during missions."

"Then... hold off Tenkai Ryuu and let Felyne build the arena now?" Nie Chiwu said distractedly, "No, Shimazaki Setsuna might have been in trouble before the arena is built... and there's no guarantee that Tenkai Ryuu can enter the arena..."

"Mr. Hunter! Hunter!"

While Nie Chiwu was lost in thought, Kikuchihara Aki's voice called out to him through the headset: "Can you hear me? Miss Koshu Momika and Miss Kinomoto Sakura are missing!"

"!"

Nie Chiwu was shocked. "How could they disappear? Wait...where's Xiaoyuan? Is she still there?"

"Let me explain," Meteora's voice echoed immediately after Kikuchihara Aki's. "After seeing the effects of the Tenkai Dragon, the two of them flew towards the Birdcage. I can now track them... They must be preparing to join the battle."

"Also, Mr. Hunter, the birdcage is now... beginning to seep into the outside world with the [Mad Dragon Virus] you mentioned." Meteora said in a serious tone, "The effects of that 'Heavenly Dragon' can't even be easily shielded from the birdcage. We've already begun dispersing the civilian population."

"Altaïr might be on our side now. Sirius has the same abilities as Altair and can participate in the battle," Meteora said. "If the Mad Dragon Virus were to be fully released, the consequences would be..."

Meteora's words dealt another heavy blow to Nie Chiwu's mood.

Now... Tianhuilong's sudden appearance has completely put Nie Chiwu's side in a difficult position.

Hunters can go back to rest and try again after a failed commission, but those who have been harmed by the Tenkai Dragon will not have a second chance.

The hunters’ growth…is insufficient. This is the first time Nie Chiwu has encountered a situation where the hunters’ overall strength is insufficient.

Nie Chiwu knew that he should not hesitate, but Nie Chiwu didn't know what he should do.

Even if we rush forward now, the cat car may not be able to eliminate Tianhuilong later, and it may even affect the delay time.

He had to find a way to fight against Tianhuilong, but looking at Tianhuilong's crushing power, Nie Chiwu even had a hint of doubt, whether he was really qualified to call himself "Cang Lanxing" in front of the people in this world.

Nie Chiwu stood still, thinking about the whole process.

He was already very cautious, but he still underestimated the ancient dragon...

Perhaps because of the restrained power of the Nergigante and the always-weak Qilin, Nie Chiwu was at a loss when he first encountered the natural disaster deliberately caused by the ancient dragon.

But... Nie Chiwu knew even more that if he did nothing, he would be failing in his duty as a hunter, not to mention catching up with the meaning of the title "Blue Star".

"At least, we have to move forward first before we can find the direction."

Nie Chiwu clenched his fist and said, "Even the new members have already started moving after seeing what's going on here... As the Grand Commander, you must lead by example!"

Nie Chiwu calmed himself down and thought about whether there was any solution that he couldn't think of from a hunter's perspective.

For example, using the rules of recognition, or using other abilities...

While Nie Chiwu was thinking, he suddenly felt as if a very familiar voice was getting closer and closer to him...

“l…d…”

“la…d…”

"lao...da..."

“Boss!!!!!!!!”

Nie Chiwu suddenly raised his head and saw a yellow figure appear in the sky, falling like a meteor. Hanging on that figure was his silly cat wearing the Flame Village ninja uniform...

"Boss!!! I'm here with Hibiki Hunter to support you!!!"

The stupid cat hung on the body of the transformed Tachibana Hibiki who was flying, swaying in the wind. Then, after flying over Nie Chiwu's head, the stupid cat jumped off Tachibana Hibiki's body, spread out the gliding kite, flew to Nie Chiwu's face, and suddenly threw itself into Nie Chiwu's arms.

"Silly cat?! Wait... Xiang is here to help?" Nie Chiwu stared at the man with a weapons box on his back. "Why did you bring Xiang with you?"

"Because Granny Cat told me that Boss and the hunters were in trouble, and after hearing that, Hunter Xiang rushed over to help!" Dai Cat said happily to Nie Chiwu, holding up a shovel-like Felynx equipment, "Boss! I'm here to help you hunt! And I've brought your weapon box too! I can exchange it for the right equipment and set off!"

"Good cat!" Nie Chiwu rubbed the silly cat twice, then suddenly realized: "Wait... Xiang went to Tianhuilong's place? Is she okay?"

Just when Nie Chiwu was worried, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the direction where the creatures and Tianhuilong were entangled.

Along with that burst of light came a chant that could be described as sacred, yet also a bit unskilled...

【Gatrandis babel ziggurat edenal————】

The chanting from Hibiki resounded throughout the birdcage, causing Hibiki's flying speed to increase dramatically, and then... Tachibana Hibiki punched Tenkairyu's head with a fierce momentum, even breaking the scales on Tenkairyu's face.

The other creatures who had gone to great lengths to delay Tianhuilong were completely stunned when they saw Xiang suddenly appear.

Where did this general come from? Who is he? How could he be so brave and powerful? ! ! !

"?"

Tachibana Hibiki's singing also confused Nie Chiwu.

Isn't this Tim's swan song? How come Hibiki just used it without a word and just threw a right hook at Tenkai Ryu...

Isn't this the Decisive Battle function?! Although the only person who died because of the final song was Tian Yu Kan...but no matter how you think about it, it's not something that should be sung right after the debut!
