Hunting Cards! Star Dragon

While the Shadow Claw Dark Dragon is paralyzed and unable to move, and its strength is weakened by the poison.

Jiu Yue took off the entire quiver from his back and threw it on the ground.

The second skill of [Armament-Red Blood Speed ​​Dragon].

[Full Bullet Burst: Empty the remaining magazine with a violent storm. Can be used once while armed.]

Three charged arrows is just a basic attack skill that Jiuyue often uses. But when it comes to the ultimate killer move, this is the trump card.

The last time he hunted the Fiery Blade Dragon, Jiu Yue planned to use this trick, but was stopped by Xing Jian.

At that time, there were 32 ordinary feather arrows in September's quiver.

And now, there are 20 explosive arrows, 15 paralyzing arrows, and 15 poisonous arrows in September's quiver.

Each attribute arrow costs 200z, with a total value of up to .

"I really have never fought such a rich battle!"

After all, it was funded by the village chief.

The skill [All Bullets Fired] actually has a certain degree of "conceptuality" in it.

Just like the skill description, it's the concept of emptying the magazine.

Once you use this skill, no matter how much ammunition you have, it will be cleared out in one go.

Even clearing 50 arrows in an instant is no problem.

So in September, this very simple and crude tactic was developed.

In order to implement this tactic, the poster girl Rina ran around for two days to purchase arrows for Jiuyue.

Let me ask you, Rina spent two whole days and could only buy 50 arrows?

She is the cutest and most popular poster girl in the village.

Not to mention we are in an emergency situation.

The weapon vendors in Yunxue Village would make enough arrows for Rina even if they had to make them with their bare hands.

This is also why Ming Mingxing saw that the lion's belt had a wide storage space. When the two of them left the village, they carried large and small bags of dry food for storage.

Because the storage space in the Xingjian belt is full!

Lighting up the lion emblem, Xingjian opened the storage space of his belt and stuffed it until there was no space left. Dense attribute arrows poured out as if an infinite arrow system had been activated, and spread out at Jiuyue's feet.

520 explosive arrows, 380 paralyzing arrows, and 200 poisonous arrows.

"Say it again! I really have never fought such a rich battle!"

There are a total of 1100 attribute arrows, with a total cost of 22!

All of these were funded by the village chief.

Riko and Takehito were stunned by the overly exaggerated scene before them. Their mouths opened wide, the cold wind blew in, but no words came out.

What kind of fighting method is this?

The village chief goes bankrupt?

Jiu Yue drew his bow with both arms, pulled the bowstring to its full extent, and the Red Blood Armed Forces connected with thousands of arrows on the ground.

In a trance, Jiu Yue suddenly recalled the scenes of her childhood.

That afternoon, the father handed the card to September as if he was giving her a toy, with a doting smile on his bearded face.

("Xiaojiu, this is a card that can create miracles. You must keep it well.")

"This attack is all my strength!"

"——『Full Bomb Explosion: Thousand Arrow Splitting』"

Chapter 29: Starlight

"Armed Skill - Full Bullet Burst!"

The conceptual-level armament skill was activated, and at this moment, all the arrows around September were judged as the remaining ammunition in the magazine.

The 1100 attribute arrows seemed to be injected with life. Some were gathered on the bowstrings, and some were suspended behind September, ready to be launched.

"This attack is all my strength!"

"——『Full Bomb Explosion: Thousand Arrow Splitting』"

The three-attribute rain of arrows shot out by September on her own intertwined like a rainbow-colored miracle, cutting through the vast sky of the snow-capped mountains.

If the battle between Xingjian and Shadow Claw Dark Dragon just now was as brilliant as fireworks exploding.

The picture at this moment is the stunning sight of the aurora falling from the sky.

In Yunxue Village, Rina couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes as she looked at the brilliant scene of the snow-capped mountains and the sky.

She knew that these were the 1100 arrows she had worked hard to collect over the past two days.

Every arrow inside embodies the determination of the craftsmen of Yunxue Village.

"I really have given you all my help."

The village chief also wanted to cry, and everyone knew the reason.

However, if all this is done to protect the village, the village chief will not hesitate even if it means emptying his own savings.

That was the promise the sixty-year-old village chief made with his beloved 40 years ago.

Rina prayed to the brilliant rainbow light in the sky: "I must win, September, see you in the stars."

520 explosive arrows fell at the same time, baptizing the huge body of the Shadow Claw Dark Dragon and setting off a small mushroom cloud like a nuclear explosion.

The explosion of the mushroom cloud further spread the effects of the 380 paralyzing arrows and 200 poisonous arrows, and lightning and poisonous fog intertwined into a tornado and poured into it.

"Roar--!"

Even though the huge, pitch-black dragon body was paralyzed and unable to move, the Shadow Claw Dark Dragon's miserable wail could still be faintly heard from the roaring explosion.

collapse!

After shooting 1100 arrows in volley, the bowstring in Jiu Yue's hand broke.

This longbow, which had accompanied Jiu Yue in his three-year hunting career, seemed to have completed its final mission and was coming to the end of its life.

September raised the bow with a broken string and headed towards the red light of the explosion that was sweeping forward.

"Thank you for your hard work, buddy."

The explosive vortex of intertwined electricity and poison lasted for nearly a minute before it began to dissipate.

During this time, the wailing of the Shadow Claw Dark Dragon became weaker and weaker.

It seems that this trick really worked.

That's right. If a full-scale explosion of more than 20 bullets is used up and even this "trump card" cannot seriously damage the Shadow Claw Dark Dragon, Jiu Yue can only say that this crusade is simply impossible to win.

"We can't give the other side a chance to breathe. I'll leave it to you in the end, Xingjian!"

Even if a thousand arrows were fired, severely damaging the Dark Dragon, it was necessary to ensure that the target was completely dead before the crusade was truly over.

Hunter's survival rules - you must remember that finishing off the enemy is important.

"give it to me!"

The moment the blast vortex began to dissipate, Xingjian once again ignited the sword in his hand and rushed towards the center of the explosion in the distance.

Xingjian also knew that for a Shadow Claw Dark Dragon with a hunting level of 50, even if this attack was extremely powerful, it would at most only cause serious injuries and would never kill it on the spot.

But if you add this knife, the result will be different.

[Tachi Mastery LV1]

Rushing into the blast dust that had not yet completely dissipated, Xingjian's ice-blue eyes locked onto the outline of the huge black dragon body in the high-temperature dust, motionless.

After all, there were 380 paralyzing arrows, so it must not be so easy to recover.

"pole!"

Hoshimi, who had triggered his sword mastery, sprinted while holding the sword tightly at eye level, then leaped up and aimed at the junction of the dragon's head and the body.

“—‘A flash of thunder!’”

The burning blade slashed across the dragon's neck, creating a flawless section of flames.

The dragon's head fell, announcing the end of the life of the Shadow Claw Dark Dragon at hunting level 50.

It should be like this...

"?"

It doesn't feel right.

Although Xingjian had never used a sword to cut off a dragon's head before, this one felt too light.

It's like cutting off an empty shell.

"really."

Looking back, I saw that the huge dragon head that fell at my feet had its eyeballs completely sunken and all its teeth fallen out, giving me a creepy and weird feeling.

The dragon's body also fell down immediately afterwards, quickly shrunken and exhausted until only skin remained.

molt?

No, it's not just shedding.

There was a layer of disgusting, wriggling flesh and blood inside the skin, and even the dragon claws on the limbs were left on the skin.

Normally, dragons do not shed their skin.

Even when molting, most creatures will not leave behind flesh, blood, or claws.

Rather than shedding its skin, it is more like a lizard cutting off its tail to escape, forcibly tearing off its own skin.

Combined with the layers of blood on the ground, September's full-scale explosion must have severely damaged the Shadow Claw Dark Dragon.

However, the bloodstains disappeared without any warning after flowing a few meters away.

Not even the scent was left behind, as if it was cut off out of thin air, making it impossible for Xingjian to track it immediately.

"ice?"

Replacing the traces of blood were ice fragments that had broken into pieces and were extremely strange in shape.

This location had just been baptized by a vortex of high-temperature flames, so how could there be any ice debris left?

"Could it be."

Subspeciesization.

It could only be this.

The Shadow Claw Dark Dragon living in volcanic areas will completely ignore the ecosystem and move from extremely hot areas to extremely cold areas. Its internal body structure must have mutated.

Simply by mutating an individual, a new type of monster is formed, which is called subspeciesization.

Subspecies transformation is often accompanied by new abilities beyond human records, or even stronger combat capabilities.

In other words, this Shadow Claw Dark Dragon, which is apparently a hunting level 50, is actually stronger than the normal Shadow Claw Dark Dragon.

"Oh no!" Xingjian suddenly reacted.

The strangely shaped ice fragments were obviously left behind when the Shadow Claw Dark Dragon froze its own wounds.

Freezing the wound is not only to stop bleeding, but also to eliminate traces and smells.

As for why we need to eliminate the traces?

Just like the Shadow Claw Dark Dragon took the initiative to tear off a layer of skin, but also deceived Xingjian to come and finish him off.

Xingjian's gaze quickly turned to September in the distance.

"Roar----!"

However, before Xingjian could say anything, a shrill dragon roar broke through the pure white snow on the ground.
