Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

The tail blade is the long sword and the dragon mouth is the scabbard.

The action of the dragon's fangs resisting the tail blade is both sharpening the blade and building up momentum for the next attack.

Thinking from this perspective, he seemed to be able to judge the action of Zhanlong's "sword".

This is the Great Iai?!

ps. I feel a little regretful that Aolan didn't fight against Zhanlong with a katana. The main reason is that I feel that the current protagonist may not be able to win against Zhanlong.

Or maybe make a Cinder Blade later (x)

Chapter 275 A Quick Death

Watching Olivia stride towards Zhanlong, Orlan and the others couldn't help but feel nervous for her.

Zhan Long bit his tail and accumulated power for several seconds. The power and range of an attack that takes such a long time to prepare must not be underestimated.

Orlan wasn't sure how Olivia planned to respond to the Dragon Slayer's "Great Iai." A direct collision like the one just now? It wasn't likely.

The power of this dragon-slaying attack cannot be compared with the previous turning and slashing attack. If a head-on collision is chosen, the hunter will definitely be chopped away.

Then

Before Aolang could think about it in detail, Zhanlong, with his tail blade golden red and muscles tensed to the extreme, finally launched an attack.

Its movements are almost identical to those of the katana users.

His legs spun and crossed as he rushed out, the tail blade wrapped in flames drew a hot arc of light in the air. With the ferocious momentum to cut off everything, he swung the blade to slash at the enemy in front of him.

At this moment, all the hairs on Aolan's body stood up.

This is the monster named "Zhan"!

Olivia's eyes narrowed, and at the moment Zhanlong launched his attack, she suddenly raised her left arm and fired her hook, hitting the ground ten meters away.

The spring reeled in, the rope pulled her, and she slid forward rapidly, close to the ground.

At the moment before the scorching blade was about to cut her in half, she slipped through the only gap below Zhanlong's tail and came to the blind spot of the inner circle of Zhanlong's "Daiai".

The hammer that had been charging for a long time was then released, facing the high-speed forward Zhanlong, and swung and hit the latter's sliding ankle.

Olang couldn't imagine what would happen if someone suddenly hit his foot with a hammer at the moment he rushed forward with his great Iai.

Not to mention a hammer, even if it was just a vine that tripped him, he would fall over it in an instant, right?

As he expected, this hammer might not have been able to break through the hard shell of Zhanlong's legs and cause serious damage, but it was enough to instantly destroy Zhanlong's body balance.

The Zhanlong, which was rushing forward at high speed, was completely unable to cope with such a sudden change. Under the drag of huge inertia, its huge body fell to the ground as expected, and then rolled forward twice before it barely stopped, struggling and howling in pain.

"storm!"

While Orlan and the others were still in a daze, Olivia was the first to rush forward.

Her goal was still to chop off the dragon's head.

The most common tactic used by hammer users is to repeatedly smash the monster's head into a dazed state.

This tactic will be most effective when hunting in a group, especially when hunting with several highly offensive companions.

Aolang Muxiang no longer needed to cooperate with each other to break through Zhanlong's defense. The latter already had countless wounds on his body.

At Muti's reminder, Orlan came to Zhanlong's throat, where there was the cross wound she had cut before. At the deepest part of the wound with flesh and blood turned outward, the arteries and trachea with peristaltic pulses could be vaguely seen.

Without thinking, Orlan once again transformed into a demon, swinging his two swords into afterimages, penetrating deeper into the wound, trying to sever the artery and trachea.

Yuwan also came to join in the fun.

Although the man and the cat are reluctant to admit it, they actually have many things in common.

Fast, flexible and agile, obsessed with attacking vital points, not good at breaking through armor, etc.

Basically, any target that is suitable for Orlan will also be suitable for Yuwan, and vice versa. Therefore, it is common for humans and cats to compete with each other for attack positions.

Of course there were conflicts at first, but after working together countless times over the past year, they have gradually become accustomed to each other's presence.

A man and a cat were almost shoulder to shoulder crowded in front of the cross wound. The ghost's dancing swords and madly grabbing claws formed two balls of light and shadow that intertwined with each other, but they did not affect each other and would change positions from time to time.

Aolang is responsible for expanding the wound, while Yuwan is responsible for drilling deeper.

This inexplicable tacit understanding made Seabuckthorn and Muti scratch their heads.

Muxiang held the Water Beast Storm·Gai and fired at those parts that were glowing red from the inside out.

The cold water turned into large balls of steam under the burning of the hot organs, and the temperature of those parts continued to drop with her attack.

Having never faced an opponent of this level, Xiang, who was originally hesitant to step forward, swung the double-edged chain in his mouth and ran forward to rub it a few times.

Muti came to Zhanlong's chest.

Through the hard and thick muscles, one can faintly hear Zhanlong's rapid heartbeat.

The meat here is definitely not soft, but what she holds in her hand is a gunpowder, not something "light and airy" like a pair of swords.

Gunlancers are never picky about where they attack; breaking through obstacles is exactly what they excel at!

Muti took a deep breath and launched her "Rising and Falling Vortex Full-Bomb Dragon Hang" combo again.

The blade tore through the scales and cut through the flesh. As the full bullet was fired and the dragon hang thrust, the bullets and metal spikes drilled deep into the wound, draining the monster's blood.

After completing a series of combos, Muti was still not satisfied. She held the rifle horizontally and pulled the trigger with the muzzle close to the wound.

"Dragon Bomb Cannon!"

"Boom--!"

The terrifying impact enlarged the wound on Zhanlong's chest into a huge bloody hole. Muti, who was sliding backward under the recoil, saw that the target still could not recover the ability to move, so he decisively swung the gun.

The gun body then flipped open, and with the "click" sound of the mechanical rotation, the bullet was loaded. She quickly took out a Longhang bullet stake from the strap behind her, and pressed it into the barrel together, quickly completing the loading.

Then, without any pause, she chopped down with great force and fired all the bullets, then thrust the gunpowder into the deepest part of the wound once again, driving in the second Dragon Hang cannon spike.

Muti, who completed all this in just a few seconds, felt that he was sublime.

The combo has been expanded! From now on, this enhanced combo is called "Lifting Vortex Full-Bomb Dragon Hang Dragon Cannon Continuous Full-Bomb Dragon Hang"!

Hmm, it's too long and hard to remember. I'll come up with a more concise name later.

A large stream of burning blood spurted out like a geothermal hot spring. The astonishing pressure and high temperature that could burn the skin forced Muti to raise a large shield to block the blood spurting out of the wound.

At this moment, she did not realize that the second Dragon Hang bullet had hit Zhanlong's heart.

This was a true fatal blow.

With a large amount of hormones secreted in his body and his life entering the final countdown, Zhanlong ignored the pain in his body and jumped up like a fish that had been electrocuted.

But it didn't notice that a slightly wretched figure was tiptoeing and sneaking up on it from behind.

It's sea buckthorn.

It temporarily abandoned the Fire Dragon Unit 9, which was of no use at the moment, and quietly came to the side of the Dragon Slayer, and placed a paralysis trap under it.

As an assist cat, setting traps at the right time is your job.

He jumped up and was about to launch a desperate counterattack when Zhanlong stepped on him.

A powerful electric current erupted instantly, and golden arcs jumped across its body, causing its muscles to spasm severely and fall into a state of paralysis.

No matter how strong the will to survive is, it cannot break through this physical restraint. With his heart pierced and his life remaining, Zhanlong lost his last chance to fight back.

When the paralysis trap failed and the electric arc dissipated, the arrogant jungle beast fell heavily in a pool of blood, and the life force disappeared from its bloodshot pupils.

Olivia put down the sledgehammer and breathed a sigh of relief.

This hunt went much more smoothly than she had expected, and several young people helped a lot.

Muti seemed extremely excited and almost jumped to the side of Zhanlong's body.

Aolan looked at her with amusement. Now that he had a new weapon, it was no wonder that this guy was so happy.

"Dragon loin!!" Muti raised his arms and cheered.

Aolan: “…”

Chapter 276: Eye meat! Sirloin!

After adjusting his breathing and slowly calming his heart, which was beating violently under the influence of the drug, Ao Lang said, "Sister Ao, you guys can concentrate on extracting the materials. Mu Xiang and I will be on guard."

After saying that, he winked at Muxiang, and the two turned and left from Zhanlong's body.

Olivia showed a hint of helplessness on her face.

It is indeed annoying to get along with people who are selfish and don't know the rules, but people will also feel awkward when dealing with a younger generation like Ao Lang who is too worldly-wise and even seems a little cautious.

She called out to the two of them, "Fukumoto Rabbit is in the sky. I need you to be on guard for something. Come over here and help peel the materials!"

Aolang and the other man acted as if they didn't hear anything and continued walking forward.

They all knew that Olivia was undoubtedly the core of this hunt.

Without her knocking down Zhanlong twice and pinning him to the ground for a long time by continuously locking his head, they would not have been able to resolve the battle so easily and efficiently, and they might have encountered some danger.

In addition, this mission was originally undertaken by Olivia alone. Without them joining the team, she was still confident that she could hunt and slay the dragon alone.

Agreeing to give Muti a portion of the material was already considered generous, so how could they have the nerve to take more?

"Hey! Stop!" Olivia shouted.

Now Ao Lang and Mu Xiang could no longer pretend not to hear, and they turned around.

"Sister Ao."

"I don't need dragon-slaying materials, and I don't lack the money from selling them. If you want to use them, just take them!" Olivia's tone was quite firm.

"Ao Lang, aren't you good at both double-sword katana? I heard you don't have a fire attribute weapon, right? Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to forge a Fire Dragon Slashing Katana?

And Muxiang, you too, you crossbowmen also need to build various crossbows to deal with different situations."

"Then there's no way to make another fire sword." Ao Lang smiled and said, "To make the dragon-slaying lance and the sword, you need the tail blade of the dragon-slaying sword.

My new katana is being made in the workshop. I'm not in a hurry to create more new weapons. It's more important to update Muti's weapons.

There will always be opportunities to hunt male fire dragons later. There will be more derivatives of the Flying Dragon Sword series, and we can talk about the fire attribute sword later."

Mu Xiang also gave a thumbs up, "I already have a Fire Dragon Cannon, so there's no need to build a Dragon Slayer Crossbow."

Hearing what the two said, Olivia was helpless.

"Forget it, Muti, just pick out the high-quality materials. Your defense team's rifle is indeed a bit of a drag." As she said this, she looked at Orlan and the other two.

"And those two over there, even if they don't need the materials, come and help peel them. Let's finish it quickly and return to the camp sooner.

Oh, and you guys still need to get some meat or something, right? Hurry up, it’s still hot, cut it up while it’s fresh and take it back.”

Now Orlang and Muxiang no longer refused. The two of them trotted back to Zhanlong's body. Muxiang went to help Olivia and Muti process the materials, while Orlang came behind Zhanlong alone.

If there is anyone in the world who is best at cutting bones and meat, it must be a chef, if not a hunter.

It just so happens that I can have a little bit of both.

"Dragon loin, right?"

Olang came behind the corpse and muttered to himself, took out the whetstone, and sharpened the blade of the knife used for peeling with two "clang clang" sounds.

The knife had been sharpened a long time ago and had not been used just now, so there was no need to sharpen it again, but he inexplicably felt that it would be more convenient to do so.

Maybe he learned it from those Elu chefs when he borrowed the kitchen.

The carapace on the back of the Dragon Slayer is very thick and covered with sharp spines. This is the result of natural evolution. After all, their main competitor, the Fire Dragon clan, likes to attack from top to bottom.

Hunters naturally wouldn't bother attacking here, so the dragon's back was quite well preserved. Unlike its chest, neck, and abdomen, which were covered with wounds of varying sizes, one would be afraid of getting a mouthful of shrapnel and knife oil if one tried to take the meat.

Orlan peeled off the carapace methodically, piece by piece, layer by layer. Some large pieces of carapace were too thick and heavy to be pried open with a knife, so he had to call Muti to use her rifle as a crowbar to pry them open.

Muti happily took away the pieces of carapace with flame-like three-dimensional patterns that were pried off. These flame-shaped shells, which are stronger than steel plates, are excellent materials for making shields.

Orlan continued to peel deeper, removing the hard skin and tough connective tissue layer by layer, finally revealing the dark red muscles.

Orlan stretched out his finger, poked the muscle that was as hard as rock and had almost no fat, and muttered softly, "Is this really edible?"

"Not here, meow." Yuwan had come close to him at some point, "This is the outer loin, meow, the one you can't chew even if you cook it all night.

Not to mention a large monster like a dragon-slayer, even the spine of a herbivorous dragon can usually only be used to make jerky, meow."

"Can we eat the tenderloin close to the spine?" Orlan asked curiously.
