Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

The sword cut into the wound caused by the big spin a second ago, further breaking through layers of membranes and connective tissues, reaching the deepest part of the shadow spider's body.

Electric flashes flashed on the cutting knife, and the disgusting smell of insect blood and internal organs, and the burnt smell of protein burned by the electric arc filled the nostrils.

For most creatures, this is a fatal injury. Even the shadow spider with tenacious vitality fell to the ground in an instant.

As the sword was pulled out, through the bursting wound, one could see many apple-sized oval insect eggs densely arranged in it. Some even flowed out along with the green blood and mucus and fell to the ground.

It turns out this shadow spider is female.

This thought came to Orlan's mind, but he would not show mercy just because the monster was a "lady".

Just as he was about to thrust his sword and use the Qi blade to cut with the maximum power to end the life of the shadow spider.

The male shadow spider marked with the dye ball rushed forward regardless of anything, even if it had to use its own body to block the attack, it was determined to force the hunter back.

Ao Lang had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​pursuit.

Under the intrusive interference of the male shadow spider, it was difficult for him to successfully use the Dragon Slash to end the life of the female shadow spider. Not only would it be easy for him to miss if he forced the attack, but he himself would also be easily put in danger.

At the moment, he could only shift his attention to the male shadow spider in front of him, and use his significantly improved physical abilities in the red blade state to fiercely fight against the male shadow spider that was attacking with all its strength.

The Red Blade Slash deflected the attacking sharp claws, and then followed up with an Air Blade Cassock Slash at the chest of the male shadow spider. Taking advantage of the gap when the opponent's attack was resolved, Orlan glanced at the female shadow spider out of the corner of his eye.

Under the cover of her mate, the seriously injured and dying female shadow spider struggled to get up, dragging her rotten abdomen and limping towards the spider's nest cave.

With a "Hey" laugh, Orlan no longer paid attention to that side, and focused all his attention on the confrontation with the opponent in front of him.

The female shadow spider, with blood all over the ground, struggled to reach the entrance of the cave.

Its vision had long been blurred, and even its consciousness was a little scattered, so it did not notice the man-made device on the ground that was flashing with tiny arcs of electricity.

The female shadow spider dragged its heavy body forward until one of its legs stepped on the inconspicuous trap mechanism.

A powerful electric current erupted instantly, and the extremely weak female shadow spider didn't even have the chance to scream. She was paralyzed by the current and couldn't move.

"Good meow!"

Seabuckthorn jumped out from the side and dropped several anesthetic bullets for capture, and the mist spread.

However, it is not known whether it is because the shadow spider itself has the ability to secrete sleeping toxins, so it has a high resistance to anesthetic bullets, or because this shadow spider looks extremely weak and is actually on the verge of death.

This female shadow spider was not anesthetized.

Seeing that the paralysis trap was about to be scrapped, Seabuckthorn quickly took off the short and thick cannon barrel on its back.

Unlike the Fire Dragon No. 6, which is exquisitely designed and shows that a lot of effort has been put into its design, this cannon barrel seems to be just a tube with one end open, and it is made of thick bamboo.

And this is the "Thunder Wolf Dragon Unit 1" that it had just produced not long ago.

The name is very intimidating, but to be honest, this thing is not a rare thing. It is actually a simple version of the electric bug launcher used by many helper cats.

Through the elastic mechanism inside the bamboo tube, the pre-loaded lightning bugs are launched towards the monster to paralyze it.

Hearing the rumbling thunder above his head, Seabuckthorn poured out the lightning bugs that were originally tied in the bamboo tube without thinking, and then took out the lightning rod that he had asked Ao Lang for from his bag and stuffed it into the bamboo cannon tube.

"Let me show you my patchwork soul, meow!" Seabuckthorn picked up the bamboo cannon barrel, "Thunder Wolf Dragon Unit 2, launch, meow!"

"der~——"

The sound of the bamboo cannon barrel's elastic mechanism being activated was completely unimpressive, which was completely inconsistent with Seabuckthorn's meowing and roaring.

The lightning rod drew a parabola in the air without any sense of force, and landed crookedly on the back of the female shadow spider six or seven meters away.

"Crack!"

With a slight sound, the lightning rod unfolded, and a bright blue arc of electricity jumped on the pointed cone.

The electric arc itself was inconspicuous, but the next second, terrifying thunder exploded in the dense forest.

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket pierced through the dark clouds and fell from the sky. Following the guidance of the lightning rod, it struck the female shadow spider directly.

The sudden burst of lightning and fire almost blinded Seabuckthorn's eyes, and the subsequent explosion and shock wave blew it away.

"Wow——" heavy rain followed.

The dizzy Seabuckthorn climbed up with his head shaking. Before he could even stand firmly, he looked at the guy who was struck by lightning and turned black with anticipation.

"The anesthetic should be working now, meow. No, how did you die, meow?"

My wedding is on the 17th, so I'll be very busy these few days. So I'll only update once at noon on the 16th, 17th, and 18th (I've saved a little bit of stock orz)

Normal updates will resume on the 19th.

Chapter 181 The Cunning Hunter

The death of the female shadow spider returned the initiative of the battle to the hunter.

With his momentum raised to the limit and entering the red blade state, Orlan did not rush to perform powerful sword moves such as the Dragon Slash. Instead, he used the flexible Red Blade Slash and the extremely suppressive Air Blade Slash to continuously attack the male shadow spider.

Having let go of the burden in his heart, Orlan suddenly felt that Shadow Spider was actually a very good sword practice subject.

The strength is not too exaggerated. I don't have that painful feeling of being hit in the balls by the opponent's head no matter how many moves I make.

Their movements are quite fast and their desire to attack is quite strong, especially when they discover their partner is dead and fall into a state of rage, which can bring them considerable pressure.

After finishing off the female shadow spider, Seabuckthorn rushed over, set up the Fire Dragon No. 6, loaded the ammunition and was about to provide support.

Aolan used several consecutive red blade slashes to force the male shadow spider back, and shouted, "Rest first!"

This emergency mission can be considered a promotion mission for him. The previous situation was special and he had to give top priority to protecting the villagers, without any leeway to consider those things.

Now, the only monster left is this one in front of him, and the difficulty of subsequent hunting has dropped to the level of an ordinary four-star mission.

It just so happens that I can treat this as a test for myself to see if I can successfully hunt the shadow spider alone!

Mikiri flew back, avoiding the sleeping poison tail sting from the shadow spider, then thrust his sword forward and counterattacked with the Seeing Through Slash.

The shadow spider reacted just as quickly, retracting its tail stinger before the sword blade hit it, and then closed its sharp claws, strangling the hunter like scissors.

By observing the opponent's joint movements, Orlan judged the Shadow Spider's attack intention in advance and swung his sword in time, using the inertia of the reverse kasaya slash to jump back several meters, avoiding the combined attack of the sharp claws.

Then, he raised his sword diagonally to block the sharp claws that were attacking again.

Hunters and monsters fought back and forth non-stop.

As if it was tired of this kind of restrictive close combat, the shadow spider screamed and jumped back a long distance.

The hunter, whose weapon had a limited attack range, quickly gave chase.

Facing the approaching hunter, the shadow spider raised its abdomen and sprayed out several balls of spider silk, blocking the hunter's attack path.

Orlan had to slow down to avoid the annoying spider webs.

The shadow spider took this opportunity to continue retreating, leaping onto the trunk of a giant tree not far away, spitting out spider silk, hanging itself under the tree canopy, swinging back and forth.

"Do you really like to attack from high places?"

Orlan, who had learned similar moves from the dead female shadow spider, muttered to himself. He took two steps back, sheathed his sword, stabilized his center of gravity, and quietly gathered his strength.

The shadow spider gained enough kinetic energy by swinging back and forth, locked onto the hunter dozens of meters away and flew towards him.

At the moment when the giant spider was shrouded in shadow and was about to fall to the ground, Oran drew his sword and used Iai sword to strike back with the air blade.

The two passed each other.

The exploding sword energy cut multiple wounds on the shadow spider's body. On the blade, the energy blade that had been showing signs of dissipating due to being maintained for a long time condensed again.

Like dancing, Orlan's body spun due to inertia, stopping his sliding steps and refocusing his gaze on his opponent.

And the Shadow Spider's offensive did not end there.

Compared to the female shadow spider who used this move in a seriously injured state before, the condition of this guy in front of him is obviously much better. The sword energy of Oiai is not enough to seriously injure it, at least not to the extent of affecting its ability to move.

After missing its target, the cunning giant spider raised the silk sac on its abdomen and sprayed out several balls of spider silk before it could turn its body completely.

If Orlan had not maintained the highest level of vigilance at all times and dodged to the side in time, he would have been hit by this sudden attack.

Hunters are more cunning than monsters. Orlan's eyes swept across a ball of spider silk that fell at his feet, and a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

He just stood there, took out a super-strength pill, put it in his mouth and chewed it into pieces, while pretending that his feet were stuck in spider silk and he couldn't move, struggling and twisting his body.

This scene just happened to fall into the eyes of Shadow Spider who turned around quickly.

Shadow spiders' eyesight is not outstanding. They are only sensitive to light. Similar to ordinary spiders, their keen perception of vibration is their most core sense.

It couldn't see clearly whether the spider silk ball actually fell on the hunter. It only knew that the hunter's footsteps stopped in place. To it, this was a signal that the hunter was bound by the spider silk.

Realizing this, the shadow spider "clicked" and stretched out its poisonous horns. At the same time, it took a few quick steps forward, approaching the "trapped" hunter and bringing him within the attack range of its horns.

At this time, it has not yet realized that this distance is also the best attack range for hunters.

Facing the prey that had come right to him, Orlan turned his wrist, twisted his waist and leaned sideways, raised the slashing knife horizontally to his shoulder, and pointed the tip of the sword forward, directly at the rapidly approaching shadow spider.

His muscles were tensed, ready to strike, quietly waiting for the best time to attack.

At the moment when the shadow spider opened its horns to the maximum and was about to bite hard, Orlan turned into an afterimage and thrust forward with his sword.

The tip of the sword pierced deeply into the shadow spider's mouthparts. With the inertia of the forward momentum and the prying of the sword, he leaped up.

“Crack!”

The poison-soaked horns bit in vain at his feet.

Aolang leaped into the air and flipped his body in the air. He poured all his energy and blood, stimulated by the strange power pill, the power gathered in his muscles, and the sword energy that had been condensed to the limit, into this sword.

In the heavy rain, the red sword light surrounded by lightning fell vertically like thunder, cutting the shadow spider's head in half.

Thunderstorms in midsummer often do not last too long. By the second half of the night, the sky is completely clear.

The night sky was astonishingly clear without a trace of clouds. The stars, which could not be described as "pieces" but only as "slices", illuminated the vast dense forest.

At this moment, Sayre had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery.

Earlier in the evening, he had just completed a mission and returned to the Metabetat Gathering Hall. Before he had time to settle the mission, he learned from President Noah that Orlan was forced to accept an emergency mission.

Without even taking a breath, he changed his weapon and boarded the airship that had been prepared long ago, rushing to provide support.

After several hours of high-speed flight, the airship arrived above the hunter camp in the target area. Before the airship completely descended to the safe rappelling height, he grabbed the rope and jumped down.

Hearing the noise, Archie ran out of the tent. Sail, who was about to rush out of the camp, also turned his head. Their eyes met and they spoke at the same time.

"Are you the guild's support? I'll take you to the lair!"

"I'm a hunter sent by the guild. Do you know where the hunter who came before is?"

Saier's eyes fell on the boy's crude protective gear, which couldn't even be called leather armor. He shook his head and took out a map. "Just point out the location to me."

"I've run back and forth several times." Archie muttered that it was not a pleasant feeling to not be trusted. Before he could say anything else, the curtain of the camp tent was lifted.

A middle-aged hunter with a pale face and barely able to stand came out holding the tent door frame.

"The nest is about twenty degrees south-west, two and a half kilometers away as the crow flies. There's a stream at the entrance to the camp, and you can quickly reach it by following the stream. Thank you for your help."

"Okay." Sayre nodded to the middle-aged hunter.

Looking up at the airship that had not yet completely landed, he shouted and gestured, asking the airship to pause its landing and prepare to take off again.

Although the distance is not far, using an airship can save some time. At this time, every minute can be saved.

"Someone is coming this way!" The operator on the airship shouted loudly because he was in a higher position and could see farther.

Sail, Archie, and the frail middle-aged hunter all looked towards the camp entrance.

A hunter and an Elu walked out from the dark shadows of the trees, dragging a mountain of monster materials to the entrance of the camp.

Seeing Saier, the hunter dropped the monster material in his hand with some surprise and lifted his visor. "Brother Saier? Why are you here?"

Two broken shadow spider heads rolled to the side, attracting the attention of several people in the camp.

Sai Er retracted his gaze and couldn't help but say "Hey", "You kid..."

Chapter 182 President: Humble

With the two shadow spiders hunted, the state of emergency in the village was lifted.

Olang, who was somewhat injured, recuperated in the village for a day. The village chief, villagers, and the surviving hunter came one after another to express their gratitude, and a celebration and thanksgiving banquet was naturally indispensable.

But some people's lives are not so easy, such as Archie, the boy who ran away from the village without permission.
