Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

So far, Hailong's offensive has not made him feel powerless to deal with it, but he hates the frustrating feeling of being exhausted from running for his life and wanting to fight back but not being able to do so.

Seeing the sea dragon turning its head and pouncing on him again, Aolan was about to retreat again to avoid the attack, but he heard a familiar roar from behind him.

"Drink ah ah ah!"

A smile appeared in his eyes. Orlan stood firm and stopped retreating. He raised his sword and entered a charging posture, allowing the sea dragon to stretch its neck and bring himself into the attack range.

Just as the huge mouth was about to cover him, a figure took the lead and inserted himself in front of him.

The solid shield made of steel suddenly pushed forward, firmly holding back the sea dragon's huge mouth that was about to close.

"Try this!" Muti, who finally arrived, did not give Hailong the chance to continue to exert his strength. He directly stuffed the rifle into the wide-open bloody mouth and pulled the trigger hard.

"Dragon Bomb Cannon!"

“Rumble, rumble—!”

The blazing flames from the muzzle blew the sea dragon's head back.

Then she jumped to the side. After completing the charging, Orlan didn't waste even a second, and rushed forward, spinning his body and swinging the blade horizontally.

Charge up for a big spin!

The power of this attack was not comparable to the previous counterattacks such as the Insight Slash. The iron knife [Kagura] cut through the relatively weak shell on the sea dragon's chest, opening a wound with flesh and blood turned inside out.

Hailong screamed in pain and subconsciously took two steps back to adjust his condition.

The two men approached one after the other and continued to attack.

Now is the time to fight back!

Chapter 194 You Can’t Leave Meow

The strange swordsman and the tall gunlance user who had just arrived were obviously partners who had always worked together.

Seeing them cooperating tacitly and restraining the rebellious sea dragon head-on, the female archer couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Unfortunately, the weapons and ammunition they carried with them were very inappropriate. If they had known in advance that a sea dragon was coming and made good preparations, the three of them might have had a chance to capture the sea dragon.

Well. The premise is that this sea dragon, for some reason, insists on staying on land where it is not good at moving, and refuses to retreat into the sea.

No matter what, what he was thinking about at this moment changed from the initial "how to protect himself and hold on until reinforcements arrive" to "how to keep this sea dragon", which in itself is the best good news.

With two reliable swordsmen holding Hailong back from the front, she was finally able to display some "fancy" fighting skills.

Otherwise, the damage that can be caused to the target by shooting with ordinary bullets is very limited.

The female archer ran forward holding a light crossbow.

Her hands kept moving, quickly replacing a new magazine and loading a mechanism that looked more like a mine than a crossbow bullet into the special launching port under the crossbow.

As he alternated attacks with Muti, Olang caught sight of the light crossbowman's movements from the corner of his eye. He had no idea what he was planning to do. Close the distance to increase the power of his crossbow? Close in and use shotgun ammunition?

Forget it, let her be. The situation has been temporarily controlled. I just have to wait for her to not go crazy and fire at us.

In a blink of an eye, the female archer was less than ten meters away from Hailong. For the archer, this distance was no different from being face to face.

Even if it is to increase the power of the crossbow bullet, there is no need to pull it so close.

At this moment, the female archer who was running at full speed raised her arm towards the air in front of her, and a flying insect flashing fluorescent light danced out.

The gleaming silk thread connected it to the female archer, who took advantage of the momentum to leap up, reaching a height of four or five meters in the air. She flipped in the air and jumped over the back of the sea dragon.

The moment she jumped over the sea dragon's back, her body turned upside down, with her upper body facing downward, and the crossbow in her hand roared.

The mine-like device was launched and firmly nailed to the junction of the sea dragon's neck and spine.

As the commander of the duo, Orlan, who was used to paying attention to the entire battlefield, paused slightly when he saw this scene.

What's going on? Are they doing some kind of acrobatics?

To be honest, this was the first time he had seen someone other than the Bug-Swatter user jump over a monster's back like this.

The female shooter had good coordination. She adjusted her posture and center of gravity before landing, landed steadily, and slid back two meters to remove excess inertia.

Then, she raised the muzzle of the gun and fired continuously at the mechanism nailed to the back of the sea dragon's neck.

"Boom! Boom!" A series of explosions sounded.

Several balls of fire exploded from behind the sea dragon's neck, far exceeding what ordinary crossbow bullets could cause.

The neck is where blood vessels and nerves are concentrated. The continuous explosions from behind caused Hailong's body to shake, revealing a flaw.

Muti took the opportunity to swing his rifle forward and simultaneously pulled the trigger to fire the full load.

Then, she thrust her rifle into the wound on Hailong's chest that Orlan had just inflicted, and fired the dragon-hang cannon, driving the spikes deep into the wound and intensifying the bleeding.

After clearing all the ammunition, Muti retreated temporarily to give up the attack position.

Orlan took up the position and unleashed a series of air blade slashes at the relatively weak chest area of ​​the sea dragon's shell.

As he had not expected the battle to break out, Seabuckthorn did not carry any mechanisms with him and could only wander around the edge of the battlefield looking for opportunities. His eyes lit up as he looked at the mechanism that the female archer had just hit on the sea dragon's back.

It recognized this thing. This mechanism was called "Explosive Dragon Bullet" and was a special explosive used by many light crossbow users.

The conventional way to use it is to hit the monster under its body while it is lying on the ground, and then detonate it by shooting.

It also tried to install a launcher for detonating dragon bombs on a certain Fire Dragon unit, but the use of this thing depends on the timing. It often happens that the monster leaves the place just after it is set up on the ground, so it was abandoned in the end.

It was the first time it had seen a female archer jump over the monster and directly nail the explosive dragon bullet into the sea dragon's back.

This way we don't have to worry about monsters moving, meow?

If we could somehow pin the explosive dragon bullet to the monster's weak spot, and then detonate it from a distance through artillery fire or shooters, wouldn't the effect be even better?

It’s on fire, meow!

"What are you doing over there, meow! Attack meow!" Yuwan, who had climbed to the side of the sea dragon's neck and was waving his steel claws wildly, noticed Seabuckthorn jumping around in the distance, looking crazy for some unknown reason, and shouted angrily.

Seabuckthorn came to his senses and looked around, but couldn't find a particularly good opportunity, so he could only draw his cat sword and rush forward, slashing at the sea dragon's hind legs.

Under the siege of three people and two cats, the sea dragon gradually felt the pressure, after all, the ocean is its home.

It grasped the ground with its limbs, its slender body slightly tensed, and pale blue arcs of electricity jumped from it and enveloped its body in a very short time.

In order to avoid being affected by those terrifying electric arcs as thick as arms, the two swordsmen had to suspend their attack and retreat to create a safe distance.

The sea dragon took this opportunity, twisting its body like a snake and retreating to the sea not far away.

Muti subconsciously wanted to rush forward to intercept the sea dragon and prevent it from retreating into the sea, but Aolan quickly stopped her.

If it were normal hunting, they should certainly do so. After all, the danger levels of sea dragons on land and in the sea are completely different levels.

But their current goal is only to protect the port and civilians. If they can force the sea dragon back into the sea, it will be a success.

However, the sea dragon that retreated to the shore seemed to have other ideas. Its hind half was immersed in the sea water, but its front paws were still clinging to the embankment. Bright electric light gathered in its mouth, and its breath of thunder and lightning was ready to be released.

Aolan's face turned a little dark. It's never going to end, right?

Seabuckthorn also took out a flash bomb and was about to dodge the sea dragon when a sharp whistling sound came from far away.

The pitch-black shells flew at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, hitting the side of the sea dragon accurately.

"Boom--!"

The huge impact of the shell itself and the explosive fire caused by the explosion almost knocked Hailong to the ground, and the breath he was about to prepare was interrupted.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two more cannon shots were heard, and flames exploded on the sea dragon's body. Its shell shattered, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and several large burnt red pits were blasted out in the blink of an eye.

This was a direct bombardment from heavy artillery, and its power was far beyond that of the crossbows in the hands of the archers.

Several more heavy crossbow arrows came through the wind, drilling deep into the sea dragon's flank amidst splattering blood. The ferocious barbs at the tips of the crossbow arrows were firmly embedded in the sea dragon's flesh, and the strong steel cables tied to them were instantly tightened, restricting the sea dragon's movements.

Aolang and his companions looked in the direction from which the attack came.

The two ships, painted with the guild emblem on their sails, were compact in structure, and their decks were loaded with cannons, heavy crossbows, and even fortress weapons like dragon-slaying spears. Designed specifically for hunting large sea beasts, the dragon-slaying ships were rapidly approaching.

Beside the side of the ship, there were several hunters carrying long spears and with floats for underwater combat mounted on their armor. They were obviously experts in this field. They pointed at the sea dragon struggling on the embankment and cursed it, angrily scolding the latter for not knowing how to live or die, and looked arrogant as if they were going to peel off its skin and take it back to make leather shoes.

Aolang and his men looked at each other and put away their weapons.

Seabuckthorn casually threw the uncorked flash grenade at Hailong's face, "I told you not to run away earlier, meow. Now you can't run away, meow?"

Chapter 195 Wood Fragrance

As the overlord of the ocean, even though he was firmly fixed by the restraint bomb, the sea dragon would not give in so easily.

It turned and dived into the sea, dragging the two dragon-beating boats connected to the other end of the steel cable towards deeper waters.

The battle will probably continue for some time, but the next part has nothing to do with Orlan and his companions.

From sailors to hunters on the two dragon-striking ships, they are all experts with rich experience in naval battles. They have dealt with monsters like sea dragons more than once or twice.

Over the years, the Giovadreo Guild has repelled monsters from the Inland Sea countless times, firmly controlling this golden trade route and guaranteeing the safety of traveling merchant ships with its good reputation. A sea dragon will surely not be a problem for them.

The three people on the embankment walked together.

"This is the only monster that attacked the port, right?" Orlan asked first.

"That's right." The female archer nodded. "They're probably individuals that came here from the open sea. If they were sea beasts from nearby, they'd probably know they'd suffer if they came here, so attacks aren't frequent."

"Where are the two hunters from before?" Orlan continued to ask.

He was referring to the two two or three star insect stick users and hunting bow users who had fought alongside the female archer when he first arrived.

Although he ordered the two to assist in the evacuation as soon as he arrived, they had fought side by side before, so he had to show some concern for them.

The female archer smiled and replied, "Thanks to you, they should be unharmed. Now that the danger is over, please go your separate ways."

"I'm glad you're not hurt." Ao Lang nodded.

The female archer took a half step back, straightened her armor, folded her hands in front of her, and bowed politely, "I haven't had time to thank you two yet.

Thanks to the timely arrival of the two Excellencies, we were able to confine the sea dragon to this breakwater, preventing further damage and casualties."

"It's my duty. As fellow hunters, anyone would help if they encountered this situation." Orlan continued to be polite with a smile.

At this moment, Muti took off his helmet, tilted his head, looked at the female shooter, and suddenly asked, "You are Miss Muxiang, right?"

"." Aolan's smile froze.

Is it even necessary to ask such an obvious question? Did I not ask right away because I didn't anticipate it? Shouldn't I lay the groundwork first, build some trust and goodwill, and then state my purpose?!

The female archer was slightly startled when she heard this, and paused for half a second before replying, "My name is indeed Muxiang, may I ask what your names are?"

Orlan wanted to tell Muti to speak less quickly, but he was still a step too late.

Muti blurted out happily, "Great! We came here just to see you!"

"Looking for me?" The female archer named Muxiang looked confused.

I wanted to make a few pleasantries first and then find an opportunity to create an atmosphere of "What a coincidence!", but someone had already pointed it out. Ao Lang had no choice but to change his strategy, "Yes, we came to see you at the introduction of a senior.

I asked Ms. Safar at the gathering place and learned that you might be at the estuary dock. On the way here, I saw the distress signal and rushed over."

"I see." Mu Xiang nodded gently. She looked around and said, "This doesn't seem like the place to talk. How about we go back to the meeting place first?"

"of course can."

The three of them returned to the meeting place, briefly explained the situation at the dock to the president, Ms. Safar, and then found a quiet little table for a drink.

Before sitting down, Muxiang took off the female fire dragon helmet that looked like a military cap and had multifunctional eyepieces on her head, and let her short hair, which just exceeded her jaw line, fall down.

She placed her hands on her thighs and bowed slightly. "I haven't officially introduced my name yet. My name is Muxiang, a four-star archer from Yanhuo Village. I'm more skilled in light and heavy crossbows."

Orlan bowed in return. "Hello, I'm Orlan from Rocklark, and I'm also a four-star hunter. Thank you for your guidance."

"Why don't we stop using honorifics for each other?" Muti suggested tentatively.

The shooter named Muxiang was obviously a few years older than them, but was basically still of the same age as them, far from being an "elder". She felt a little uncomfortable with them always using honorifics to each other.

Ao Lang didn't feel awkward. After all, Huali had always taught him this way, and he usually used honorifics to address most people.

However, Ao Lang did notice that Muxiang's way of speaking was a little strange. Some of her words were inexplicably old-fashioned, but not to the point of being pedantic. He didn't know whether it was influenced by the language environment of her hometown or for some other reason.

Facing Muti's suggestion, Muxiang nodded slightly, "That makes sense. Perhaps we should relax a bit."

"Yeah!" Muti nodded quickly. "Just call me Muti. I'm from East Dorma, and I'm also a four-star hunter. I'm currently a gun wielder, right? Come on, sit down!"

Ao Lang and Mu Xiang simultaneously extended their hands and made a "please go first" gesture. In the end, Mu Xiang, who was a little older, lowered her head helplessly and sat down first. The three of them finally sat down around the small wine table.

"Order!" Muti raised his hand and shouted, then looked at Muxiang, "Sister Muxiang, do you have any recommendations for dishes in this tavern?"
