Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

Seabuckthorn, on the other hand, screamed and rushed over the moment the veil was lifted, "Meow! It's a new type of rapid-fire cannon, meow!"

Orlan looked at the professor.

The latter said calmly, "As you can see, this is an armed airship. Even if it is attacked by a large flying dragon, it can still fight.

The heavy crossbow can easily penetrate the dragon's scales, and the rapid-fire cannon can even destroy the dragon's wings in an instant.

That's called 'preparing in advance', understand?"

“It’s exciting!”

Before Orlan could speak, another voice rang in his ears.

Attracted by Seabuckthorn's screams, Muxiang stared at the rapid-fire cannon at the stern with shining eyes, "When I was young in Feiye Fortress, my teacher took me to play with it twice, but I have never used it in actual combat.

Can you give it to me? When will the monsters attack?

Orlan fell silent.

Whether it is a heavy crossbow or a rapid-fire cannon, to put it bluntly, they are defensive weapons for self-protection, but looking at Muxiang, it seems that she wants to chase the flying dragon.

The professor's eyes also became stern, "Feilong is not..."

“Ding ding ding ding!!”

The scolding was only halfway through when a rapid warning bell rang from the observation tower on top of the airbag.

"At seven o'clock, twenty degrees above! Two thousand meters away, a flying dragon is attacking!"

The professor's face darkened, and he didn't bother to scold her. "Muxiang, you are a shooter and have experience in using rapid-fire cannons. You go and operate the rapid-fire cannon."

"understand!"

Muxiang, who usually gives people a quiet and elegant impression, almost jumped towards the position of the rapid-fire cannon.

Muti and others, who had just laid down and had not yet fallen asleep, rushed out of the cabin.

"Olang, you've used a heavy crossbow, right? You go operate the one on the port side, and Muti will carry and replace the ammunition boxes for Muxiang's rapid-fire cannon.

Olivia, you're free to move. If that dragon attempts to board the deck, repel it immediately." The professor, with a sullen face, issued a series of orders.

He personally took over the heavy crossbow on the starboard side, and at the same time shouted at all the non-combatants on the deck to return to the cabin.

"Load the restraint bomb!"

Hearing the professor's instructions, Orlan skillfully wound the string with the winch, and then loaded a restraint bomb connected to a steel cable.

"One thousand meters! It's a male fire dragon! It's speeding up! It's about to attack!" The lookout's shout was filled with fear.

Even for well-trained crew members, it is extremely difficult to remain calm when facing a large monster, let alone at high altitude.

If the airship is shot down, no one in the investigation team will survive.

"The male fire dragon won't directly hit the airship, as that would cause too much damage to itself! It will eventually slow down, so use flash grenades to disrupt it! Then use restraint grenades and rapid-fire cannons to repel it!" The professor gave orders quickly.

Upon hearing the command, Muti, Olivia, and even Seabuckthorn Fish Ball and other hunting partners all picked up a flash bomb.

There is only one chance, and we must all work together to stun it!

Five hundred meters, three hundred meters.

When the Rathalos was less than a hundred meters away from the airship, the hunters and Elu simultaneously fired and threw the flash grenades in their hands.

The continuous flashes of bright light unsurprisingly dazzled the male fire dragon, causing its flying posture to become chaotic and it almost fell.

"It's now!"

The professor and Orlan squeezed the trigger at the same time, and two restraint bombs with huge barbs shot out from both sides of the ship.

For heavy crossbows, the distance of dozens of meters is no different from firing at the face. The two sharp crossbows made of fine steel easily penetrated the male fire dragon's shell and lodged deeply into the flesh.

The mechanical winch tightened rapidly, and the airship shook violently.

Monsters on land who are hit by restraint bullets only need to endure the severe pain and wrestle with the ropes to have a chance to break free.

But in the air, the male fire dragon, whose flying posture was already disordered due to the strong light, completely lost its balance due to the pull of two steel cables.

Muxiang keenly captured this opportunity. She pushed the handle of the rapid-fire cannon hard, firmly placing the target in the crosshairs.

Then she pulled the trigger.

"Om-!"

The independently loaded crossbow bullets whizzed out at an astonishing rate of several rounds per second. The originally muffled cannon sounds were connected into a deafening buzzing sound at the extremely high rate of fire.

The fiery red trajectory connected into an invisible chain sword, sweeping across the body of the male fire dragon. Amidst flying blood and flesh, the membrane and wing bones of one of the dragon's wings were completely torn apart.

Orlan and the professor loosened the ropes of the restraint bomb in time, and the male fire dragon, which had completely lost its ability to fly, fell to the ground with a wail.

Muxiang was extremely excited and wanted to shoot another volley at the falling male fire dragon, but was stopped by the professor.

"Save your ammunition. I'm afraid the return trip won't be peaceful."

Chapter 293 Who is the King of Stealing?

Just as the professor worried, on the way back to Metabetat, the survey team's airship was attacked by monsters twice.

Among them was a rather large electric dragon (not a strange dragon), which was repelled by the hunters in a similar way to how they defeated the fire dragon.

There was also a black wolf bird, but it was difficult for the black wolf bird to catch up with the airship in the sky. It followed the airship from a distance for more than half an hour before reluctantly leaving.

Although several of the experiences could be considered safe and sound, it was still very abnormal to be attacked by three large monsters in a row in just one day and one night.

In order to confirm the situation, the professor personally followed the sling to the hanging bag under the hull, checked carefully, and repeatedly confirmed that the star dragon was still in a deep coma, eliminating the suspicion that the latter actively attracted the monster.

But this is hardly good news.

Since it's not an active attraction, does that mean that Star Dragon has the ability to unconsciously attract monsters and activate their bodies?

This is even more worrying than actively attracting monsters.

For this reason, after arriving at Metabetat, the professor did not let the airship unload the Star Dragon directly in the city, so as to avoid the risk of monsters attacking the city.

After communicating with the local guild, the location for the Star Dragon was changed to a shelter several kilometers away from the city of Metabetat.

Similar shelters have been built near major cities and human settlements to evacuate civilians when a state of emergency is declared.

The facilities and conditions of the underground shelter are naturally inferior to those in the city, but it is safer and can effectively isolate the various impacts caused by the star dragon.

The professor's proposal was successfully approved by the union.

In addition to the scholars who came to support from various academic organizations, the Guild Headquarters also specially dispatched a team of craftsmen and knights to build fortifications to blockade this temporary research facility, protecting the safety of the facility while preventing unauthorized personnel from approaching.

However, these things are not what young hunters should care about.

At this time, they returned to the meeting place and successfully completed the settlement of the dragon hunting mission.

As for assisting the investigation team in capturing the Star Dragon, since it was the first successful capture, it was settled as a five-star mission at the professor's suggestion.

According to Eric, who accompanied them to settle the task, they could forget about getting the star dragon material, as the scholars had no intention of skinning and dismembering the young star dragon.

However, as compensation, the professor will prepare some "small gifts" for them later.

Hearing this, Orlan glanced at the Scorpion S suit he had been wearing for quite a while and expressed his great anticipation.

"Here, everyone's notes." The poster girl president arranged the hunter notes of Orlan and the other two on the task counter, with a subtle smile on her face.

"Hunting the Dragon Slayer and capturing the Star Dragon each resulted in a five-star mission record. Congratulations, Aolan."

"What?" Ao Lang didn't quite understand what she was congratulating him for.

"Congratulations! As a four-star hunter, you've officially completed more five-star missions than four-star missions!" The poster girl's president said solemnly, "You're the king of sneaking out!"

Muxiang also clapped along.

"No, no, don't talk nonsense." Orlan denied decisively, "The four-star missions I completed include the Shadow Spider Emergency Mission, the Tail Hammer Dragon Capture Mission, and the Transformed Ice Shark Hunting Mission.

The only five-star quests are this time's Dragon Hunt and Star Dragon Capture. With a three-to-two ratio, where are the extra five-star quests?"

As he said that, he changed the subject and pointed at Muti, "This one is the king of sneaking out. The four-star missions are only Rock Dragon Emergency and Tail Hammer Dragon Capture.

There are also two five-star missions, two to two, the number of missions is tied!"

"I'm not!" Muti denied flatly, "Didn't you also hunt the Thousand Blade Dragon with Aunt Xianglan? Doesn't that count?"

"Haha, that encounter with the Thousand Blade Dragon was just an accident. It was essentially an exploration mission with no difficulty rating, so it doesn't count towards the mission record, just like when we killed the Boom Dragon two years ago."

Looking at the quibbling Aolang, Miss Noya smiled smugly, "Actually, regarding that emergency mission where you were promoted to four stars, I went to appeal to the Guild Headquarters on your behalf.

Because in fact, two shadow spiders did appear, which was beyond the scope of a regular four-star mission.

The approval from headquarters has just come down, agreeing to revise the record of your mission to five stars, and at the same time increase part of the reward!

So currently you have completed two four-star missions and three five-star missions!"

Aolan: “.”

Although he was very happy to get the extra compensation, at this time, he just wanted to ask the other party one question.

Are you usually free at work?

"You are the king of sneaking!" Muti shouted.

Muxiang clapped again.

"Okay, enough joking around." The smiling poster girl's expression softened a bit, "I'm saying this to remind you to complete more four-star missions.

Unless there are special circumstances such as special approval from the Grand Elder, completing a sufficient number of four-star tasks is a hard requirement if you want to be promoted to five-star, and it cannot be replaced by records of five-star tasks.

Four-star quests aren't too difficult for you guys, and you can easily complete them by teaming up to hunt. Don't think it's not challenging; gaining experience is also important."

Faced with Miss Noya's advice, Orlan and Muti put aside their playful thoughts and took it seriously.

"That's just right." Mu Xiang beside him suddenly said, "You two are almost certain to complete the four-star mission, and you don't need my participation.

I intend to take this opportunity to travel to Minagard City and look for a craftsman who can create armor and weapons for Xiang."

Nuoya crossed his arms and nodded, "You two should learn from Muxiang. She has completed three times as many four-star missions as five-star ones. She has accumulated experience and has gained a lot of difficult training.

By the way, Miss Muxiang has already completed the prerequisites for promotion to five stars. As long as she is willing, she can apply for promotion tasks at any time.

Of course, I just mean that the conditions have been met. As for when you plan to be promoted, it’s up to you to decide.”

Mu Xiang also smiled and said, "After returning this time and making all the necessary preparations, I plan to try to upgrade to five stars."

Muti's face suddenly broke into a pure smile, "That's great, when Sister Muxiang is promoted to five-star, we can follow her to hunt more five-star monsters!"

President Noah's face suddenly turned dark, and he felt that he had just given a useless advice.

Orlan pointed at Muti, then at himself, "See, for some people, the habit of sneaking out is innate, while for others, sneaking out is just an accident."

Muti also realized that there was something wrong with what he said, and quickly said, "No, that's not right, I mean the future!

Wait until I have accumulated enough experience from four-star difficulty missions!"

President Noah's expression improved, but he thought to himself that he had to keep a closer eye on this guy in the future.

A few days ago, she got the contact address of Muti's elders from Xianglan. If the child goes too far, she can write a letter to her family to complain.

By the way, if I could trick her elders into coming over and staying for a while, wouldn’t I make a lot of money?

Muti felt his entire body crawl under the meaningful gaze of Guild Master Noah. He quickly put away his hunter's notes and said, "Well, we still have some important things to do. So, we'll be leaving first, okay?"

"What's the matter?" Orlan asked with amusement.

Muti's mind froze for a moment, but then he remembered that he still had something important to do, "Dragon-slaying materials! I need to place an order for new weapons!"

And Oran, your new armor and weapons should be almost ready, don't you want to go take a look?"

"You have a point." Olang picked up his notebook from the counter, stuffed it into his bag, and nodded to the chairman of the poster girl.

"Once our Thousand Blade Dragon Set, Thousand Blade Dragon Katana, and Dragon Slashing Gunlance are ready, we'll go into the dense forest and bully four-star monsters."

Chapter 294: Gold

Since there was no need to create new equipment for the time being and she needed to prepare luggage for a long journey, Muxiang did not follow Ao Lang and the others to the workshop, but returned to her residence early.

Seabuckthorn originally wanted to go back and continue to improve its Fire Dragon Unit 9 and Princess Spider Unit 2, but was caught by the tail by Oran.

"Don't rush to run. I've ordered new equipment for you this time. Go try it on first."

"Meow?" Seabuckthorn's ears twitched, and it looked down at the Shadow Spider Cat Armor on its body that looked like a bronze statue.

"I've only had this set for less than two months, meow. Isn't it a waste to get new equipment now?"
