Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer
Page 17
It has to be said that the sharpness of the hunter dagger has been greatly improved after being recast and strengthened.
The sword blade must have been bent after chopping off four or five yellow speed dragons, but now it is still smooth and sharp, and only needs a little polishing to continue fighting.
A man and a cat sat beside the huge skeleton, eating and resting. The corpses of several yellow speed dragons were dragged by them to a place twenty or thirty meters away.
This will not interfere with the subsequent battle, and will also distract the yellow speed dragon's attention to a certain extent. After all, for the yellow speed dragon group, the corpses of their own kind are also edible food.
Nearly a quarter of an hour passed like this, and nothing appeared.
But Orlan did not feel anxious. Sitting on the familiar sandy shore by the lake, leaning against the skeleton of the "big guy", he was surprisingly calm.
The anxiety and loneliness I felt when I set out have long been swept away.
Seabuckthorn curled up beside him, looking like he was asleep, but judging from his breathing rhythm, he was probably just resting with his eyes closed, with one ear always pressed against the ground, alert to possible danger.
Several minutes passed and Seabuckthorn suddenly raised his head.
"Something's coming, meow."
"Very cautious, right? We are already prepared."
Orlan supported his knees with his hands and stood up steadily. Seabuckthorn also shook off the sand stuck on his hair and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Several figures walked across the dry and cracked lake beach, approaching this place.
The yellow speed dragon is a monster without any "charm". It always walks with its head down and looks left and right from time to time. It gives people the impression of being cowardly, cruel and cunning, just like the minions in a group of robbers.
But the guy who came striding forward, surrounded by several yellow speed dragons, gave people a completely different feeling.
The huge forked crest is as conspicuous as a crown. The height of the back alone is more than two meters, the body length is nearly six meters, and the weight exceeds one ton.
Its scarlet eyes looked down at the surroundings as its head turned, just like a bandit leader carrying a big knife, surrounded by people in front and behind, looking for the next target of robbery with a discerning look.
"The aura is completely different." Orlan tightened the hunter dagger in his hand.
The Yellow Speed Dragon King, who followed the smell of blood, also turned his attention here. He paused, tilted his head, and looked at the hunter and Elu beside the huge skeleton from a distance.
In nature, body size is often an important criterion for measuring an opponent's strength. Compared with those large monsters that are more than ten meters long, the size of humans and Elu can only be said to have no deterrent effect.
At this time, the Yellow Speed Dragon King did not even regard them as the murderers of his own kind. He just thought they were some small predators that had arrived earlier than them and were attracted by the smell of blood.
The Yellow Speed Dragon King looked around again, but did not see the other monsters he had imagined.
Had they already left? Fortunately, out of caution, I called a few more companions to come over and check on the situation.
Fortunately, it was not a complete loss. Although the two "little animals" were not big, they were still big enough to fill my stomach.
"Gaao——" the Yellow Speed Dragon King growled.
Following beside it, the four yellow speed dragons, who had been impatient for a long time, accelerated their running. Two of them attacked head-on, and the other two dispersed to encircle the hunters from behind to prevent them from escaping.
The Yellow Speed Dragon King himself stopped where he was, looking too lazy to take action.
"Deal with both ends of the front as quickly as possible." There was even a hint of joy in Orlan's tone.
"Got it, meow!"
Aolan and Seabuckthorn rushed out together.
He charged forward at an accelerated speed, came to the front of his opponent, leaned sideways with his shield to deflect the attack, and then drew his sword to cut his opponent's throat. Orlan took care of the first one in the blink of an eye.
This is the experience summarized from countless missions to defeat the Yellow Speed Dragon in recent months, and it is always effective when used to deal with a single Yellow Speed Dragon.
Seabuckthorn took advantage of its lightness and flexibility to dodge the attack of the other yellow speed dragon and jumped onto its back.
The Hunting Cat Dagger, which was similar in size to Orlan's Hunter Dagger but required two hands to hold for Elu, cut fiercely into the back of the Yellow Speed Dragon's neck.
As the yellow speed dragon screamed in pain and turned its head, Seabuckthorn jumped off its back again, crawled under its belly, raised its cat sword with its claws and slashed hard, cutting open the yellow speed dragon's belly.
His internal organs flowed out along with the blood, and Huang Sulong fell to the ground wailing, his life rapidly fading away.
After dealing with their respective opponents, the hunter and Elu quickly returned to the skeleton. With the help of this perfect cover, they quickly dealt with the other two yellow speed dragons that were attacking from behind.
The Yellow Speed Dragon King, who stayed where he was, watched all this in a daze. When he came to his senses, the four subordinates who came with him had all fallen in a pool of blood.
Seabuckthorn stuck out its tongue and made faces at the Yellow Speed Dragon King not far away.
Ao Lang half-knelt down, took out the whetstone in front of the Yellow Speed Dragon King, and began to sharpen the blade.
"Gah!"
The eyes of the Yellow Speed Dragon King turned blood red, but he was not blinded by anger. He charged towards the "bunker" that prevented him from moving.
Instead, he raised his neck and let out bursts of howls to summon his subordinates.
Chapter 28 It’s just a bigger Huang Speed Dragon!
"Smarter than I thought." Orlan put away the whetstone.
It would be perfect for them if the Yellow Speed Dragon King lost his mind in anger and rushed over.
Ordinary yellow velociraptors can squeeze into the gaps between the ribs of a giant skeleton, but the Yellow Velociraptor King cannot. This skeleton shelter is like a safety cage for it.
The hunter hiding in the cover can come out at any time and attack it, and it can only watch from outside the cage or put its head in and get beaten.
"It's calling its companions meow, why don't we interrupt it meow?" Seabuckthorn asked nervously, staring at the Yellow Speed Dragon King who was howling with his head raised not far away.
All hunters know that hunting a pack leader like the Yellow Speed Dragon King and preventing him from calling his companions is of utmost importance.
A one-on-one duel with the Yellow Speed Dragon King and having to distract yourself to deal with the sneak attacks from all sides of the Yellow Speed Dragon during the battle are two completely different levels of danger.
Logically, they should have rushed forward to interrupt and stop the Yellow Speed Dragon King the moment he was about to call his companions, but for some reason, Orlan just watched.
"on!"
Just as Seabuckthorn was confused, Aolan suddenly left the skeleton shelter and rushed towards the Yellow Speed Dragon King not far away.
"Meow meow?!"
What's the matter with this slow reaction?
It didn't think that Orlan would be dazed during the battle. If so, he must have his purpose for doing so.
It was unrealistic to ask Orlan to explain the situation in detail at this time. Seabuckthorn could only speed up and catch up with him while thinking about the reasons why the former did so.
In fact, as long as you follow the line of thought, it is not difficult to guess Orlan's purpose.
What will be the consequences of allowing the Yellow Speed Dragon King to call his companions but interrupting him in the middle?
——Some of the nearby Yellow Speed Dragons will be called over, but the number should not be too large.
Seabuckthorn looked up at the back of Aolang who rushed to the Yellow Speed Dragon King and launched an attack, and finally figured out the key to this.
The total number of a yellow velociraptor population rarely exceeds twenty. After all, if the number is too large, the resource density in the desert area cannot feed so many mouths.
They had already dealt with nine of them, and considering the maximum group size, the remaining number of yellow speed dragons should be around ten.
With so many Huang Speed Dragons coming together, they would find it difficult to deal with them even with the skeleton cover behind them. They could only find an opportunity to break out as planned and go to the rocky area to fight guerrilla warfare.
But if the Yellow Speed Dragon King calls some over first and takes the opportunity to get rid of them, then the remaining ones will no longer pose much of a threat, and subsequent tactical options will become more diverse.
"I see, you're just like meow!"
Aolang took advantage of the momentum and swung his sword to chop the Yellow Speed Dragon King in the chest.
There were no large scales covering this area, and the alloy sword blade that had just been polished successfully broke through the slightly soft scales here, leaving a wound nearly 30 centimeters long.
Such an injury is nothing to the Yellow Speed Dragon King. It plans to continue singing and calling its companions.
Aolang smiled after seeing this, and swung his arms rapidly in coordination with his body. Subsequent slashes broke out one after another, cutting four or five intersecting wounds on the chest of the Yellow Speed Dragon King.
“Jigga—!”
This time, the Yellow Speed Dragon King finally couldn't hold on any longer. It stopped singing, jumped back to create a distance of six or seven meters, lowered its body, and stared vigilantly at the seemingly insignificant opponent in front of it.
Orlan stretched his wrist, which was a little sore after the outburst, and took the initiative to charge again.
Allowing the Yellow Speed Dragon King to summon his companions is a strategy, but the period before other Yellow Speed Dragons arrive is also the best time to fight against the lone Yellow Speed Dragon King.
Compared with ordinary yellow speed dragons, the advantages of the yellow speed dragon king lie in its size and more developed venom glands. The former means more powerful attack power and longer jumping distance, while the latter represents more violent paralysis toxins.
Apart from these two points, the attack habits of the Yellow Speed Dragon King are actually not much different from those of ordinary Yellow Speed Dragons. It can bite at close range and jump at long distance. No matter how it changes, it cannot do without these two moves.
For novice hunters, the biggest difficulty in hunting monsters like the Yellow Speed Dragon King is overcoming the psychological fear.
Ao Lang had no fear of the Yellow Speed Dragon King and had memorized the Yellow Speed Dragon's methods through countless subjugation missions. He was confident that he had at least 80% chance of suppressing his opponent in a one-on-one duel.
Faced with the hunter who was rushing towards him relentlessly, the Yellow Speed Dragon King roared, opened his bloody mouth, and raised his body.
The sticky yellow paralyzing toxin covered the hollow fangs like those of a snake. If a person was bitten by it, not to mention a human, even a strong herbivorous dragon would be paralyzed on the spot.
But no matter how powerful the attack is, it is meaningless if it cannot hit the target.
As early as the moment the Yellow Speed Dragon King opened his mouth and raised his head, Aolang was already prepared to deal with the attack.
In order to be safe, he did not raise his shield to block like he did when dealing with ordinary Yellow Speed Dragons. Instead, he adjusted his pace and slid to the side of the Yellow Speed Dragon King at the moment the attack came.
The Yellow Speed Dragon King missed his bite, and Orlan took the opportunity to swing the hunter dagger and slashed the Yellow Speed Dragon King's head twice.
The Yellow Speed Dragon King screamed in pain, turned his head and bit the hunter.
From this point, it can be seen that the combat experience and reaction speed of the Yellow Speed Dragon King are much higher than those of ordinary Yellow Speed Dragons. Ao Lang was very glad that he did not act carelessly and greedily with his sword. Instead, he immediately stepped back and jumped after chopping those two swords.
The Yellow Speed Dragon King missed his bite again, and a small drop of paralyzing venom splashed out from between its teeth and fell on Orlan's cheek.
Even though there were no wounds on his face, the tiny bit of venom that seeped in through his pores made his skin feel slightly numb.
This made him even more determined not to get bitten, otherwise even the biggest advantage would be ruined in an instant.
Sea buckthorn also launched an attack at this time.
It jumped onto the thigh of the Yellow Speed Dragon King, and while the Yellow Speed Dragon King's attention was completely attracted by Aolang in front of him, it continued to climb upwards, and in a few seconds it reached the back of the Yellow Speed Dragon King.
When it climbed onto the back of the yellow velociraptor before, the yellow velociraptor's intense reaction gave it inspiration.
Due to its size, its attack range is low and it can only hit the calves and tail of the Yellow Speed Dragon King, so its restraining effect is very limited.
But if you can climb onto the back of the Yellow Speed Dragon King, everything will be different.
Creatures in nature are extremely wary of attacks from behind. If something crawls on their backs, even if it's just a "harmless" Elu, they will subconsciously become nervous.
The Yellow Speed Dragon King was no exception. Just as Seabuckthorn stood firm and had no time to draw his sword to attack, the Yellow Speed Dragon King suddenly turned around and tried to throw it off.
Seabuckthorn quickly gave up the idea of drawing his weapon. He lay down, and used his claws to tightly grasp the gaps in the scales of the Yellow Speed Dragon King to secure himself and avoid being thrown away.
The Yellow Speed Dragon King turned around and wanted to bite, but its neck seemed not to be long enough and flexible enough. No matter how it twisted, it couldn't reach the enemy. It could only jump, turn, and swing its body continuously, and it couldn't even take care of the more threatening enemy in front of it.
“Gah!”
"Meow! I won't let you throw meow!"
Looking at the anxious appearance of the Yellow Speed Dragon King jumping around, Aolan couldn't help but feel a little funny, but also a little relieved.
If he was using heavy weapons like a broadsword or a sledgehammer, it would be difficult for him to find a suitable opportunity to attack. However, the one-handed sword is different. The one-handed sword is most suitable for guerrilla warfare.
While dodging the long tail that swung past him from time to time, Aolan was looking for an opportunity to suddenly approach and give the Yellow Speed Dragon King a blow.
Just one strike, never be greedy, then retreat immediately and look for the next opportunity.
Not long after, several new bleeding wounds appeared on the body of the Yellow Speed Dragon King.
The situation is very good. If it continues like this, the Yellow Speed Dragon King will soon become tired due to the continuous bleeding and high-frequency activities. Then, it will be the best time for him to launch a strong attack!
Just as Orlan was planning this, a shrill scream accompanied by messy and fragmented footsteps came from afar.
The reinforcements of King Huangsu Dragon have arrived.
Chapter 29 Split up
The number of reinforcements was slightly less than Orlan had expected. The three yellow speed dragons summoned by the leader were crouching down and rushing towards this side at full speed.
Orlan glanced at the skeleton shelter not far away.
At this point in the battle, the bunker could hardly continue to function.
The Yellow Speed Dragon King obviously realized that the bone shelter would severely restrict his movements, so he was unwilling to get close.
The other yellow speed dragons may not be so smart, but under the command of the Yellow Speed Dragon King, they will not run there stupidly, but will surround the Yellow Speed Dragon King and fight.
Whether or not the incoming reinforcements can be dealt with quickly becomes the key to ensuring that the situation on the battlefield will not be reversed. Since we can no longer resort to tricks, let's just fight head-on!
"Sea buckthorn! Try to hold it for another half minute!" Orlanti shouted.
Ailu, who was a little dizzy from being thrown on the back of the Yellow Speed Dragon King, cried out with difficulty: "Meow! Meow as much as possible!"
