Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

This made Ao Lang feel helpless.

Its temperament is more lazy than gentle, and its low desire to chase is one of the main reasons why Tailhammer Dragon is not rated as dangerous.

If it were other large monsters, such as the thunder dragon they had encountered in the Ruins Plain, they would not give up even if they chased it for a whole day, let alone one or two kilometers.

Unlike the guy in front of me, he seemed to have lost all the anger he had aroused while chasing, and turned around to eat.

For those who really need to escape from pursuit, Tailhammer Dragon's move will make them extremely grateful, but the problem is that he is not really running away, but wants to lure Tailhammer Dragon to a suitable battlefield to hunt it.

The situation where the Tailhammer Dragon suddenly stopped chasing halfway was indeed not part of their plan.

In desperation, Orlan had to stop, turn around and approach the other party again.

The Tailhammer Dragon, which was gnawing on rotten wood, noticed the hunter approaching, paused in its eating, and raised its head alertly and angrily.

It gave up the pursuit, but that was because its simple-minded brain made a judgment and determined that the small creature in front of it would not pose a threat to it. It was not worthwhile to continue wasting precious energy chasing it, so it chose to stop and eat.

This does not mean that its emotions have returned to calm.

The wound caused by the dragon-strike cannon was still throbbing with pain. Even if it couldn't find the culprit for the time being, it really wanted to crush something to vent its anger.

Looking at the white steam spewing out of the Tailhammer Dragon's nostrils, Orlang decided to add fuel to the fire.

He took out his horn and blew it hard. The shrill sound stimulated the Tailhammer Dragon to shake its head and roar. At the same time, he swung his hand and threw another dye ball at the Tailhammer Dragon's face.

This series of actions was like pouring a lot of gunpowder on the extinguished anger of the Tailhammer Dragon. The Tailhammer Dragon roared and knocked away the giant tree in front of it that it had not eaten two bites of, and took heavy steps again, rushing towards the annoying guy in its sight.

Aolan laughed, turned around and ran at full speed.

They chased each other for dozens of minutes, and the Tailhammer Dragon, which was not good at running for a long time, gave up the pursuit again.

This time, even if Orlan blew his horn to pieces, he still couldn't rekindle its anger. As a last resort, he had to take the risk of drawing his weapon and, while the Tailhammer Dragon lowered its head to eat, he slashed at its head several times.

This action made the latter realize that he would not be able to eat properly unless he got rid of the guy in front of him. Only then did he finally cheer up and take another step forward.

The location of the Tailhammer Dragon's lair was actually not that far from the battlefield they had selected in advance. The luring operation, which was originally planned to be completed in a quarter of an hour, or at most half an hour, dragged on for more than an hour.

Muti and Muxiang, who had arrived here early and been lying in ambush for a long time, were getting a little anxious when they finally heard the sound of the Tailhammer Dragon approaching.

According to the tactics discussed in advance, the two quickly hid behind an ancient giant tree with a trunk that was seven or eight meters thick and a crown that was incredibly lush and vast.

In the dense forest with poor visibility, the dull sound of footsteps grew closer and closer, accompanied by Orlan's loud shout, "Are you ready?"

"Okay!" Muti answered loudly from hiding behind a big tree.

Rushing out from the dense forest shadows, Orlan ran towards the giant tree at full speed. Two or three seconds later, the Tailhammer Dragon, like a moving hill, followed closely behind and crashed out of the dense forest.

As they chased and fled, they were getting closer and closer to the ambush point.

If possible, Orlan would certainly like to lead the Tailhammer Dragon to hit the giant tree with an astonishingly thick trunk.

Even with the size and strength of the Tailhammer Dragon, it is unlikely to break a giant tree of this size with one headbutt, and the terrifying impact force brought by its heavy body will definitely cause it to suffer serious damage.

But the Tailhammer Dragon was not blind. After rushing out of the dense forest, it noticed a giant tree thicker than its body right in front of it. It consciously slowed down its pace and turned its body sideways to prepare to avoid it.

Noticing this, Orlan immediately turned right angles.

Since we can't lure the Tailhammer Dragon into crashing into a tree, we'll force it to reveal its weakness in another way!

The Tailhammer Dragon, which was about to turn sideways, noticed the hunter's turn and immediately intensified its turning, trying to intercept the hunter first.

But at the moment when its center of gravity shifted and it turned with all its strength, Orlan, who was running in front, suddenly turned around, raised his left arm, and fired a flash bomb with a catapult.

During the long induced operation lasting more than an hour, he had encountered danger several times, but he resisted the urge to use flash grenades just for the unexpectedness of this moment.

The Tailhammer Dragon, which had no idea that the hunter could release strong light, was not only temporarily deprived of its vision, but its cerebellum, dizzy from the influence of the strong light, also lost control of its body balance in an instant.

Its two strong but not very flexible hind hooves kicked together, and its huge body was unable to stabilize its center of gravity in the rapid rotation. It was dragged sideways to the ground by inertia. The huge impact force could not be resolved. The fallen Tailhammer Dragon rolled forward several times in the splashing of dirt, rocks and grass before it barely stopped.

"Attack!" After being chased for more than an hour, Orlan, who was full of anger, shouted and gave orders.

The lurking Muti, Costus and Seabuckthorn were the first to rush out from behind the giant trees where they were hiding.

Muti roared and rushed straight to the Tailhammer Dragon.

If she wanted to achieve a substantial attack effect, she should indeed choose the soft and fleshy hump on the back of the Tailhammer Dragon, but what she needed to do now was to attract the Tailhammer Dragon's attention to herself.

Then there is no better option than attacking in the face.

The heavy rifle was like a light wooden stick in her hand, which slammed into the side of the tail hammer dragon's head. At the same time, she pulled the trigger continuously.

"Fire all bombs!"

Chapter 205: Their respective offensives

"Hahh ...

Initially, she only shouted in battle to gain strength, and exhaling and shouting when attacking with force helped to generate power.

But after receiving basic instruction in heavy defenders from Instructor Altman, she understood the importance of remaining "noisy" in frontal combat.

The louder and more frequent the shouting, the easier it is to draw the monster's attention to you.

Top defenders like Altman and Fabius still speak with full energy even in their old age, and they all had loud voices when they were younger.

All of this is learned through actual combat.

In this regard, gunlance users even have an advantage over spear users.

The reason is very simple. Unlike a spear which is just a cold weapon, more than half of the gun's attack moves come from various artillery fire.

Unlike the long-range shooting of archers, the artillery fire of gunners often explodes right next to the monsters' ears, which is extremely noisy.

Just like now, Muti was consciously chopping the tail hammer dragon head side with his rifle, while continuously pulling the trigger and firing continuously.

This is the location of the ear holes of the Tail-clumped Dragon. The sound of the artillery fire will not deafen its ears, but it will probably make it dizzy.

After a full-volley attack, Muti raised his rifle, smashed the butt of the gun, quickly changed the bullet, and continued the attack.

Muxiang, the core attacker and the only attacker in the team, was keeping a distance of about twenty meters from the target and firing at full speed.

For crossbowmen, this distance is already considered close combat.

The benefits of close-range shooting are obvious. It can ensure that the crossbow bullet does not consume too much kinetic energy during flight, resulting in a decrease in power.

The disadvantage is that it is not safe enough. Once the monster's attention is diverted to attack you, if you cannot respond correctly in time, you will immediately fall into danger.

Logically speaking, this was her first time officially working with Mutiolan and they had not yet developed a tacit understanding. She should have been more cautious and kept a safer distance.

But considering that he has a Kinsect, his self-protection ability is actually stronger than most hunters. In addition, these two young juniors who are less than 20 years old seem to lack experience in cooperating with shooters, and they may make some low-level mistakes when they rush into the shooting world.

The distance is closer, the trajectory is shorter, and the shooting range is relatively concentrated, making it easier to deal with similar situations.

"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"

The Fire Dragon Cannon, with a specially modified barrel and expanded magazine, demonstrated amazing firepower suppression.

Every time Muxiang pulled the trigger, three flame bombs would be fired from the muzzle of the multi-barreled rotary gun, exploding a large ball of fire on the fleshy peak of the Tail Hammer Dragon.

The moss and soil attached to the surface of the Tailhammer Dragon were quickly dried and fell off under the high temperature, and the archer's attack hit the target smoothly.

In just a few breaths, all twelve (4*3) flame bombs in the magazine were poured out.

Just as she was quickly changing the magazine and reloading, Seabuckthorn barked wildly and drove in with its Fire Dragon No. 7 gun carriage.

The pedals of the artillery carriage were almost smoking as it quickly approached the Tailhammer Dragon, which was twisting and struggling but unable to get up for a while.

At this time, the positions of Seabuckthorn and the artillery carriage blocked the shooting range of Muxiang, but this was not an accident, but something they had discussed in advance.

"Meow--!"

With a sudden swing of the rear end, Fire Dragon No. 7 drifted to between the two high-raised fleshy peaks of the Tail Hammer Dragon. Before the car body completely stopped, Seabuckthorn pulled the cannon hard.

"bang, bang"

Amidst a series of muffled sounds, several mechanical mechanisms emitting sparks were fired from the specially modified gun barrels and nailed into the two fleshy peaks of the Tail Hammer Dragon.

That was a special explosive dragon bomb made by Seabuckthorn and Costus. In order to facilitate the firing from the artillery carriage, it was smaller in size and had less explosive charge than the regular version used by crossbowmen.

Due to its non-streamlined shape and inability to use large amounts of propellant, it cannot be launched at long distances and can only be launched at extremely close range against the monster's body.

From the perspective of an ordinary shooter, this modification seems completely unnecessary, but for Seabuckthorn who is driving the Fire Dragon No. 7, it is a completely different situation.

The existence of the gun carriage allows it to carry multiple explosive dragon bombs at the same time, and the maneuverability of the gun carriage also gives it the opportunity to get close to the monster and set up multiple explosive dragon bombs in one go.

As for how to detonate it, it doesn't need to worry about it.

"Leave it to you, meow!" After completing the setting of the detonating dragon bomb, Seabuckthorn turned the direction, stepped on the pedal with all his strength, raised the front of the car high, and "whoosh!" rushed out of the range of Muxiang's radiation.

At this time, Muxiang had also completed the replacement of the magazine. She smiled and pulled the crossbow trigger, loaded the flame bullet, and then pulled the trigger directly.

"Bang bang bang!" Three fire bombs formed a line and shot out quickly.

The next second, blazing flames exploded on the fleshy peak of the Tail Hammer Dragon. Driven by the high temperature and impact, the explosive dragon bombs were activated one after another.

It was as if someone had hung a few strings of firecrackers on the fleshy peaks of the Tail Hammer Dragon. The flashes of fire and the continuous explosions merged into one, and the rising smoke obscured the shooter's vision, but this did not affect her shooting.

She just had to aim the muzzle in the direction of the flashing fire and keep pulling the trigger.

The firelight reflected in Muxiang's eyes.

She has always liked the sound of explosions, especially this kind of continuous explosions. She couldn't explain why. Maybe it was because she was born in the Jade Leaf Fortress during a chaotic period?

The mechanical dragon bullets of the heavy crossbow are her favorite. She uses the light crossbow to perform a fan-shaped jump and shoot the explosive dragon bullets on the monster's back. The crackling sound of repeated explosions from continuous shooting also hits her heart.

Seabuckthorn used the artillery cart to fire multiple explosive dragon bombs at once, combined with the rapid fire of the Fire Dragon Light Crossbow, which increased the sense of pleasure several times!

At this moment, a trace of regret even emerged in her heart.

I wish I had known sea buckthorn earlier than Orlan.

Olangko had no idea that the archer lady they had found had for a moment developed feelings for his hunting partner.

He was concentrating on attacking the Tailhammer Dragon's hind legs.

Although he positioned himself as an assistant in this hunting operation, even if he stayed on the edge of the battlefield without even drawing his sword and just kept using various hunting tools, he could still be considered doing his duty.

But as an offensive hunter who was described by many predecessors as having "the desire to attack deep in his bones", looking at the monster lying on the ground and struggling, he couldn't help but come to the side of the monster and launch an all-out attack.

The fleshy peak on its back, which is the main weakness of the Tailhammer Dragon, is being covered by the archers' fire. The area near its head is the territory of heavily armored defenders. Rushing in to distract the monster would only cause more trouble. The tail is an additional target of this hunt, so try not to move if you can.

After looking around, he found that the hind legs were the only suitable, or the only part that allowed him to attack.

humble.

Even though his attack as an auxiliary was not expected and even insignificant, Orlan's offensive was not ambiguous at all.

The charging technique of the greatsword, the use of inertia of the sledgehammer, and even a little bit of the use of sword energy by the katana, are all integrated into his deadly combo.

The rhythm of each sword was extremely precise. The thin but extremely sharp sword cut into the folds of the thick skin on the tail hammer dragon's legs again and again. The light blue sleep toxin flowed on the blade. With his continuous attacks, it seeped into the tail hammer dragon's body bit by bit, slowly accumulating

Slashing, slashing, and slashing downwards, just as Orlan was about to finish this deadly combo, a figure broke into the path of his sword, scaring him so much that he quickly stepped back and turned around, almost spraining his waist.

"what you do?!"

"What are you doing, meow?!"

Aolan, who forcibly stopped his continuous attacks, and Yuwan, who was wearing steel claws, glared at each other.

"This is my attack position!"

"I was here first, meow!"

Orlan gnashed his teeth uncontrollably. "Go attack the torso! It's such a big place!"

"Why don't you go meow?"

Aolan's face turned dark. "The one-handed sword is too short. It can't cut through."

The thickness of the keratinous skin on the body of the Tailclump Dragon is more than half a meter, not to mention the soil and moss covering the surface of the body, and the thick layer of fat under the skin. Even if you insert the one-handed sword into it, it is difficult to cause effective damage.

Yuwan also looked furious, "Meow, my claws are longer than your sword, meow?!"

Chapter 206 Black Mist

Unlike the ineffective attack of Orlang Fish Ball, the offensive of Muti, Muxiang and Seabuckthorn went quite smoothly.

The huge and bloated size of the Tailhammer Dragon gives them amazing strength and tenacious vitality, but also deprives them of the ability to move flexibly.

Things like being knocked down by a flashbang during a sharp turn are not so easy to happen to the pre-pterodactyl monsters (Velociraptor, Ice Fang Dragon) which are famous for their agility. Even if they fall, they can get up in a relatively short time.

It was not like the Tailhammer Dragon, which twisted and struggled and was hit on the head by the hunters for almost half a minute before it finally found an opportunity to use its horns to support the ground and turn over to stand up.

Seeing the Tail Hammer Dragon stand up, Aolang and Muxiang immediately stopped their attack, kept their distance, and retreated into the monster's blind spot.
