Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

An unexpected scene appeared. The shadow spider hanging on the giant tree raised its abdomen and sprayed out several balls of spider silk in succession.

I don't know if it was good luck or Shadow Spider's control of timing was really accurate to this extent, but one of the spider silk balls met the approaching flash bomb and wrapped it up the moment the flash bomb exploded.

The flash bomb then lost its effect, and Orlan had to roll sideways to avoid the spider silk ball that he absolutely could not touch.

At the same time, he also kept a watchful eye.

The shadow spider jumped onto the tree with great effort. It couldn't be just to spit out a few balls of spider silk. The purpose of these balls of spider silk should be to block its own route of movement. The real killer move must be yet to come.

Dodging the spider silk that fell on the ground, Orlan quickly stood up and sheathed his sword, ready for Iai.

And just as he expected, the shadow spider sprayed out a stream of spider silk while he rolled to avoid it, hanging itself on the crown of the giant tree, swinging back and forth like a pendulum.

On the one hand, it is to accumulate kinetic energy, and on the other hand, it is to disrupt the hunter's judgment of the attack path.

Suddenly, the shadow spider broke free from the silk thread, and its huge body flipped in the air, drawing a parabola and falling towards the hunter.

The venom crystal spikes condensed on the shadow spider's back make it look like a giant meteor hammer. If hit by this blow, not to mention the hunter, even a large dragon would be seriously injured instantly.

At the last moment before the monster fell, Orlan drew his sword and flew forward, swinging the sword to drive his body. He narrowly avoided the range of the shadow spider's attack, and at the same time, a dazzling air blade burst out behind him, cutting a series of small but dense wounds on the shadow spider's body.

After a narrow escape, Orlan, who had resolved the Shadow Spider's counterattack, immediately turned around and prepared to continue the attack.

The shadow spider seemed to have finally realized the threat posed by the hunter and turned to flee towards its nest.

Chapter 179 Pincer Attack

It is perfectly normal for monsters to choose to escape and move during a battle with hunters. After all, for most monsters, fighting to the death is not worth it, and they will not hesitate at all when it is time to run.

Hunters will also decide based on the situation whether to pursue immediately or adjust their own status first and then make a decision.

When Orlan confirmed the direction of Shadow Spider's escape, he immediately ran at full speed. What he wanted to do was not only to chase it, but also to intercept it!

Under normal circumstances, when monsters run from one area to another, the battle situation will not change significantly except for the need to consider terrain factors.

But the current situation is obviously not an "ordinary situation". The shadow spider escaped to the cave spider nest, which is dimly lit, with complex terrain and spider silk everywhere. Not only is it difficult to move, but the most dangerous thing is the large group of young spiders that cannot be killed no matter how hard you try.

He wouldn't worry about a group of baby spiders, and he could handle a single adult shadow spider if he was careful.

But if the two sides come together, he will have to concentrate all his energy on dealing with the shadow spiders while the baby spiders keep pouncing on him. That would be too dangerous.

So no matter what, we must intercept the shadow spider before it escapes back to its nest!

Orlan, who had transformed into a demon, ran wildly, cutting diagonally into the Shadow Spider's escape path, and finally stopped it before it entered the cave.

"This is not good." Orlan muttered to himself as he faced the shadow spider that was rapidly approaching.

The prey cannot be allowed to hide in the cave. Such a tactical premise is equivalent to nailing him in front of the cave entrance. The flexibility of the tactics is greatly reduced, which is extremely disadvantageous to him.

It’s a pity that Muti is not here, otherwise she would block the entrance to the nest and the Shadow Spider would be beaten to a bloody pulp.

As he was thinking this, a familiar smell wafted into his nose. Of course, it was not the "smell of Muti", but the smell of dye balls.

The appearance of this smell made Orlan's face look extremely ugly.

At the beginning of the operation, in order to cover his actions, Seabuckthorn led away a shadow spider alone and marked it with a dye ball.

He was not too worried about Seabuckthorn's safety. After all, as Elu, he could burrow into the ground to avoid most dangers if he was really defeated.

What he was worried about was that Shadow Spider gave up chasing Seabuckthorn and turned back halfway.

After two years of training, Seabuckthorn has become an excellent hunting cat. However, it is not the type that specializes in frontal combat like Yuwan, but a typical assist cat.

There is nothing wrong with letting it attract the monster and trying to deal with it to delay time, but once the monster is determined to leave, it will be difficult to stop it.

Sure enough, along with the smell of the dye balls came the nervous screams of Seabuckthorn.

I saw it emerge from the woods, screaming, "Boss, I'm sorry, meow! We can't stop it, meow!"

Just two seconds after Seabuckthorn appeared, the shadow spider marked by the dye ball also crashed into a bush and rushed towards this side.

The poisonous bird skin on its body was also tattered, obviously the result of Seabuckthorn's efforts, but other than that, there were no other obvious scars on its body.

As an assistant to the cat, Seabuckthorn finds it difficult to cause effective damage to a large four-star danger-level monster.

"Jiye!"

The shadow spider marked with the dye ball screamed towards the seriously injured shadow spider that it had stopped, and one could even hear a hint of human concern in the scream.

Aolan understood.

It is very likely that the shrill and long cry emitted by the shadow spider after the previous sword attack attracted its partner from a distance.

The opponent has increased from one to two, and the difficulty of hunting is not just doubled.

It is obviously unrealistic to continue guarding the entrance of the cave and prevent the injured shadow spider from escaping. Of course, now that his partner appears, this guy may not continue to run away.

If it resolutely chooses to continue to escape, it will be good news for me. Then I only need to concentrate on dealing with the shadow spider marked by the dye ball. Who is afraid of who?

If both Shadow Spiders run into the cave nest

Then he would give up hunting, return to the village and wait for support from the guild!

"Be careful, meow!" As Orlan made the decision in his heart, he heard the reminder from his hunting partner.

A stream of spider silk shot out, it was a sudden attack from the dyed shadow spider.

Seeing that the spider silk was about to fall on him, Orlan responded immediately. He swung his sword diagonally with the reverse kasaya slash, took advantage of the momentum to jump back a big step, and quickly avoided the restraint of the spider silk.

The spider silk that fell to the ground became taut.

Having seen this move more than once, Orlan knew what the shadow spider was going to do, so he immediately turned around and slid back a long distance.

Izakiri avoided the fierce attack of the dyed shadow spider.

However, his danger was not over. The seriously injured shadow spider nearby pounced on him tacitly, raised its two sharp claws high, and swung down at the hunter one after another.

Relying on his extraordinary coordination ability, Orlan, who had just completed a sliding retreat, forcibly twisted his body and turned his counterattack, the Insight Slash, towards the seriously injured Shadow Spider ninety degrees away.

"Qiang!"

The sword blade collided with the falling sharp claws. Orlan twisted and straightened his waist and legs, and with a low roar, he exerted force to block the sharp claws on one side of the seriously injured shadow spider.

He was no longer able to deal with the sharp claws on the other side that followed closely behind, so he could only roll on the ground in a somewhat embarrassed manner to dodge the falling claws.

The two shadow spiders, as if they had discussed it beforehand, simultaneously unfolded the horns on both sides of their mouthparts. With a scalp-numbing "click" sound, the two pairs of horns covered in purple-black venom stretched out, blocking all possible escape routes for Orlan.

Just when he was in desperate situation, a flash bomb fell between the two shadow spiders, and a strong light flashed.

This is timely support from sea buckthorn!

The burst of strong light dodged the two shadow spiders. The shadow spider hit by the dye ball became unsteady and its body swayed. It was stunned in place and the stranglehold it was about to release was interrupted.

The seriously injured shadow spider had been attacked by flash bombs many times in previous battles with hunters. Although it cannot be said that it has completely adapted to it, it has become accustomed to the strong light to a large extent.

Therefore, it was only visually affected but not stunned, and the attack continued.

When the two claws were fully extended, they were four or five meters long and their horns were opened to more than ninety degrees, as if they wanted to strangle the hunter in half, and they clamped towards Orlan fiercely.

Aolan quickly stood up and had no time to praise Seabuckthorn for his timely support. He sheathed his sword as quickly as possible and prepared for Iai.

There are actually two types of Iaijutsu used by tachi users.

One is called Iai-Datsun-slash, commonly known as small Iai, in which the sword is slashed forward at the moment the sword is drawn. It has low power but is fast and very flexible.

The other is called Iai-drawing Air Blade Slash, commonly known as Great Iai. The moment the sword is drawn, one rushes forward and swings the sword over a large range. It is slightly similar to the Air Blade Great Spin and is incredibly powerful.

When Shadow Spider jumped onto the tree and swung down, he used the so-called Great Iai.

But now, he had no space and time to perform the Great Iai. Almost as soon as he finished sheathing the sword, he immediately drew it out of its sheath and attacked against the poisonous horns that were attacking him.

The first sword he drew out of the sheath was powerful enough to successfully swing away the left corner of the sword.

The second sword that followed was slightly weaker, barely blocking the right horn. The fangs, dripping with poison, pierced his armor and cut a wound on his right shoulder.

As if being poured with boiling oil, Orlan felt a sharp burning pain in his shoulder, but then the burning pain disappeared, replaced by numbness.

This is not a good sign.

The hemolytic toxin rapidly invaded his body, his breathing became heavy, his mouth was full of the smell of blood, hot fluid dripped from his nose, and slight afterimages began to appear in his vision.

The severity of the poison was beyond his expectations. If it was not treated in time, he would probably lose his ability to move and fall down soon.

"Meow!"

Seabuckthorn screamed and wanted to run over to support.

With his steps somewhat unsteady, Orlan dodged the sharp claws of the shadow spider and retreated at full speed while lifting his visor. He took out the easily accessible Chinese herbal medicine from his waist, put it into his mouth, chewed it into pieces and swallowed it.

Although I have cheaper antidotes, now is not the time to save!

After quickly swallowing the pill, Orlan called out to Seabuckthorn, who was about to run over here, and gave a new instruction, "Go to the cave entrance and set a trap!"

Seabuckthorn paused.

"rumble--"

There was a faint sound of thunder in the dark cloudy sky, and Seabuckthorn subconsciously looked up at the sky.

"I understand, nya!"

It took out a paralysis trap and ran on all fours towards the spider cave.

Chapter 180 The Cat's Thunder Summoning

It turns out that the effectiveness of a drug is often proportional to its price.

The expensive Chinese herbal medicine was surprisingly effective. Within seconds of the pill entering my stomach, all the discomfort caused by the poisoning receded like a tide, and even the wound on my right shoulder stopped bleeding.

The rapid recovery of his condition stopped Orlan from retreating, and the continuous insight and Iai counterattacks made his momentum rise steadily.

He took a deep breath, swung his blade, and took the initiative to face the seriously injured shadow spider that was trying to take advantage of the victory.

He deflected the incoming claws with his robe, dodged the other claw by leaning sideways, and then Orlan squeezed himself into the arms of the shadow spider.

Sword energy swirled around the blade, and Orlan danced swiftly, slicing through the knife and launching a repressive attack.

Continuous slashing of air blades!

The shadow spider, which was already seriously injured, was chopped back by him and screamed for help from its companions.

The shadow spider marked by the dye ball finally recovered from its dizzy state. It turned its head left and right twice, and its legs moved quickly, moving horizontally behind the hunter.

A stream of spider silk spurted out and rushed towards the hunter's back.

Orlan, who was attacking with all his might, never let down his guard against the other shadow spider. When the shadow spider completely disappeared from his peripheral vision, he knew that the guy had circled behind him.

The sound of breaking wind behind his ears proved this. He did not dwell on the opponent who was retreating step by step in front of him. He swung his sword, turned around, and dodged with a quick step.

This time, he saw that Qi's dodging direction was not towards the back as usual, but completely towards the side.

Just as he dodged, spider silk flew from behind, passed by the place where he was standing a second ago, and hit the seriously injured shadow spider in front of him.

The shadow spider spins silk to bind the target, then pulls the silk to fly and pounce. This is the most common hunting method used by the shadow spider.

Due to their poor eyesight, no matter whether the spider silk falls on the target or on the ground next to the target, they will choose to pounce along the spider silk at the first moment. It can be said that they have already formed muscle memory.

But this was the first time that the spider silk fell on a companion. The shadow spider marked by the dye ball didn't even think about it and flew straight towards the seriously injured shadow spider.

The scene of two giant spiders with a body length of nearly ten meters colliding head-on is not often seen. The impact force is far beyond what a hunter can achieve with a few sword strikes. The "crackling" sound of the shells breaking is continuous.

The worst-hit was the shadow spider, which was already seriously injured. It was caught off guard and one of its sharp claws was broken directly by the impact.

The tragic screams echoed in the dense forest.

Orlan, who had not expected this to happen, was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

The two shadow spiders fell into a heap. Without thinking, Orlan chose the poor guy who was more seriously injured as his target, and once again activated his demon transformation and charged to his side.

He performed two extremely fast Red Blade Slash attacks, and then directly entered the charging stance.

After a brief two-second build-up of strength, Orlan rushed forward, his fully swung sword pressing against the shadow spider's soft abdomen. As he turned around, he swung the sword and pulled it forward fiercely.

The air blade charges up and spins violently!

A huge wound nearly two meters long appeared on the side of the shadow spider. The sword cut very deep, and thick green fluid flowed out of the wound like a waterfall.

With this huge swing, Orlan's momentum rose to its peak, and the sword energy wrapped around the blade became more and more condensed, faintly emitting a blood-red light.

And his attack is not over yet.

Orlan's steps staggered, and he further accelerated his rotation in the direction of the excess inertia after the big spin. He leaped up and once again added all his strength to the sword blade that was shining with red light.

Red Blade Spinning Slash!
