One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

"It's so brutal."

Looking at the Blue Bear Beast being pinned down by the Kappa Frog and being ruthlessly trampled upon, the bear's eyes revealed a look of helplessness and despair.

Squatting on the cliff, hiding his body with the grass, Link couldn't help but cover his eyes, unable to bear to watch the following scene.

There is a reason why the Kappa Frog is rated as a three-star monster in the Hunter's Guild. Its powerful limbs can even allow its massive body to temporarily escape the influence of gravity, fly into the air, and attack using its weight.

No low-star hunter can withstand such pressure. Even if they are touched, they will be seriously injured.

Now, this poor Blue Bear Beast was suppressed by the Kappa Frog's overwhelming force. Its limbs struggled feebly under the Kappa Frog's weight. Every struggle seemed so futile. Obviously, the Blue Bear Beast was severely injured with just one move, and it almost lost the strength to resist.

"What an amazing power."

Phyllis came to Link's side at some point, crouched down, and observed the battle below, her face becoming solemn.

As a hunter of the Dragon Calendar Institute, Phyllis has extensive hunting experience. She has hunted and captured monsters of the same level many times. Among them, only the ghost frog has a similar size and strength to the kappa frog.

Both of them are rare rivals among the three-star monsters.

"This won't work. The Blue Bear Beast has no ability to resist. We have to help it."

Link whispered.

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. However, there must be a fight. Now the Kappa Frog is unilaterally ravaging the Blue Bear Beast, which obviously does not meet the expectations of Link and Phyllis.

Seeing the Kappa Frog open its bloody mouth, kiss the Blue Bear Beast's cheek, and almost stuff its entire head into its mouth, Link reached out and took off the folded heavy crossbow on his back.

Instead of rushing to assemble it, he took out a palm-sized sniper dragon bullet from the ammunition bag on Matsutake's back and stuffed it into the special magazine of the barrel.

This huge sniper dragon bullet can only be loaded when the heavy crossbow is in the folded state. The loading speed is extremely slow, but in contrast, it has unparalleled destructive power.

After loading, Link quickly assembled the heavy crossbow, lay down in the grass, placed the heavy crossbow on the ground, and supported the crossbow butt with his shoulder to offset the recoil.

The Sniper Dragon Bullet is not only powerful, but also has great recoil. Only by setting it up on the ground can it be ensured that it will not miss the target.

Link aimed the gun at the Kappa Frog with concentration and calmness. After scanning its body with his sharp eyes, he aimed them at its bald forehead, where there was a bluish-white disc-shaped organ.

According to the Guild's Atlas, this organ is actually an extension of their skull, covered with algae, and inside is their moisturizing organ, an important node for maintaining their movement on land.

At the same time, it is also a weakness.

"I'm going to attack the disc cover on its head. That thing is quite valuable. It would be a pity to break it. Do you mind?"

Before shooting, Link reminded Phyllis that this was her prey, and the materials after a successful hunt would also belong to her. The valuable parts should not be destroyed at will, and she had to be informed in advance.

Phyllis naturally knew that that was the Kappa Frog's weakness, so she nodded and signaled Link to just attack.

"It's okay. You only need the skin of the Kappa frog to make the shell suit. Go ahead and shoot."

This is how hunters hunt. Sometimes, even if you know that the materials in the weak spot are more valuable, you have to give up. After all, you can't just ignore the weak spot and just focus on chopping the opponent's feet.

After you've been trimming the skin on its feet for a long time, it flaps its wings and flies away. Before leaving, it gives you a tail flick, which means that your skills are good and it's a reward from me. Come back next time.

That's hilarious.

After receiving the instruction, Link no longer hesitated and pulled the trigger instantly. The crossbow body vibrated violently, and the sniper dragon bullet in the barrel flew out like lightning, heading straight for the Kappa Frog's forehead.

The violent recoil caused Link's shoulders to sink with a crisp sound, which showed how heavy the force was.

Link's shooting skill was very good. His bullet hit the target exactly and penetrated into the top cover on the Kappa Frog's forehead. The injured Kappa Frog screamed and rolled on the ground. The Blue Bear Beast in its mouth was thrown aside, and it was unknown whether it was alive or dead.

"Three, two, one, bang."

After shooting the bullet, Link stood up, blew into the steaming muzzle of the gun, and recited the countdown.

Just as Phyllis was wondering what this guy was doing, there was a loud bang above the Kappa Frog's head and it let out another miserable howl.

That was the sound of the gunpowder exploding inside the Sniper Dragon Bullet. It turned out that this bullet not only had extremely strong penetrating power, but the gunpowder inside would also explode, causing secondary damage.

However, the Kappa frog has extremely tenacious vitality. Even after suffering such a severe blow, it still did not die. It struggled frantically in the river, splashing countless water.

"My mission is completed, and the next step is up to you."

Link, who was very good at bragging, put away his beloved Bone Launcher II and handed the severely damaged Kappa Frog to Phyllis to deal with.

This calm and relaxed attitude made Phyllis, a melee hunter, extremely envious. Melee hunters like them risked their lives every time they fought monsters, unlike these long-range shooters who could easily kill their prey.

However, using long-range weapons also requires talent. A heavy crossbow requires abundant physical strength and strong physique to carry a weapon weighing dozens of kilograms to chase monsters. Those with weaker physiques cannot even withstand the extremely strong recoil caused by the bullet.

The same goes for bows and arrows. The strength required to pull the bowstring is even greater. Greatsword users and hammer users, who are known for their strength, have to use all their strength, not to mention they have to aim at the weaknesses of their prey. It is not something that ordinary hunters can do.

As for the light crossbow, its bullets are not powerful enough and its range is short, so it requires close combat with monsters. It is more efficient to use melee weapons than to choose it, and it can also save money on buying bullets.

To sum up, a hunter like Phyllis who lacks strength can only choose dual swords as weapons and take the agility route to hunt monsters.

"Then I have to deal with the Blue Bear Beast as well."

Looking at Phyllis's back as she leaped towards the Kappa Frog with the help of the Kinsect, Link packed up and prepared to finish.

Link's finishing work was very simple. While Phyllis was fighting with the Kappa Frog and attracted the other party's attention, he quietly moved to the seriously injured and unconscious Blue Bear Beast and threw two glowing red anesthetic balls into its mouth.

This item, made from sleeping grass and paralysis mushrooms, can allow an exhausted large monster to sleep for a whole day, which is enough time for the guild's backup team to transport the unfortunate blue bear beast back to the village.

At that time, the life or death of the imprisoned Blue Bear Beast would all depend on Link's mood. Whether he skinned it, removed its tendons, chopped it up and ate its paws, or sold it to the guild and had them transport it to the arena in the big city to add some fun to the lives of the rich, Link could make a lot of money.

The guild does not only collect monster corpses. Living monsters are more valuable than dead ones. Many wealthy people in big cities like to watch monsters fight. Afterwards, the corpses of the defeated monsters will not be wasted but will appear on their dining tables.

It can be said to be a one-stop service for eating, drinking, and having fun, and the monsters are arranged clearly.

As for what to do with the materials of the Blue Bear Beast, that is not a problem at all. The guild has a lot of backlog inventory. Living Blue Bear Beasts can be exchanged for more Blue Bear Beast materials, including fur, shells, bones and stones.
