Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

Seabuckthorn reacted very quickly and rushed over in time, hugging his thighs, but Eric was a beat too slow, and Orlan's hands missed, so he could only watch him fall to the ground.

"Miss Xianglan!" Ao Lang looked up and shouted urgently.

He remembered Xianglan saying that the big kite it used could carry the hounds. If that was the case, it shouldn't be a big problem to bring Eric, a slender guy, along?

Xianglan, who also noticed the situation here, quickly stopped attacking, grabbed the big kite, jumped off the back of the Thousand Blade Dragon, adjusted the angle and dived to chase the falling Eric.

Feeling something crawling onto its legs, the Thousand Blade Dragon began to writhe and struggle.

At this moment, Aolan and Seabuckthorn had no time to care about Eric's situation. They could only try their best to hold on tightly.

If you were thrown from this height, there was no other possibility except to fall into a puddle.

After flying around for a while, the Thousand Blade Dragon found that it could not get rid of these two sticky guys, so it decided to change its strategy. It folded its wide dragon wings and began to dive at an accelerated speed.

Orlan immediately realized what this guy was going to do.

Accelerate your dive, and pull up suddenly when approaching the ground, using the powerful inertia at the moment of pulling up to smash them to the ground!

"Have a good hold on Seabuckthorn! Your survival depends on this!"

"Good meow!"

As the Thousand Blades Dragon entered a diving posture and its speed increased dramatically, Orlan took out the second flash grenade, bit off the fuse with his teeth, and started counting down.

"Four, three, two"

It's now!

He threw the flashbang with all his might.

With preparation, the flash bomb landed accurately in front of the Thousand Blade Dragon, and a strong light burst out.

"Liga!"

After being hit by strong light twice in a short period of time, although Qianrenlong was not dizzy, he lost his eyesight again.

What does it mean to lose vision during a dive? It means that you can't accurately judge the height. If you pull up half a second late, you will be killed on the ground.

Instinct drove the Thousand Blade Dragon to spread its wings, slow down desperately, and try to pull up.

Although the Thousand Blade Dragon was far from reaching its maximum diving speed, Orlan still broke free from his hand due to its inertia. Fortunately, the catapult's hook was strong enough, so he was not thrown out.

With this dive and deceleration, the distance between the Thousand Blade Dragon and the ground is getting closer and closer.

One hundred meters, fifty meters, thirty meters

When the Thousand Blade Dragon came out of its dive and resumed hovering, it had already approached the tops of the big trees.

In order to avoid being taken to the sky by the Thousand Blade Dragon again, Orlan decisively let go of the catapult and retracted it. Together with Seabuckthorn, he spread his limbs and threw himself into the dense tree canopy.

After breaking countless vines and branches, they finally stopped falling before falling from the treetops.

Orlan shot out his grappling hook again, caught a thick branch, and swung down to the ground on the rope.

The moment his feet touched the ground, his legs went weak and he knelt on one knee. If he hadn't put his hand up to support the ground, he would have almost fallen to the ground.

"F*ck! He actually survived?!" Orlan, his heart pounding, couldn't help but spit out a curse word.

A few meters away from him, Seabuckthorn rolled over and got up from the ground.

He shivered and shook off the rotten leaves on his body, raised his arms high and cheered, "Earth Meow!!"

Before they could get excited for a few seconds, a huge golden shadow crashed down in front of them.

The broad dragon wings folded up, turning into strong and flexible claws, which together with the exceptionally strong hind legs supported the body.

After being hit by the strong light twice in a row, and almost falling to his death the second time, the Thousand Blade Dragon turned to look at the Hunter and Elu in anger.

The dragon's bright blue eyes, like gemstones, were filled with endless rage. It suddenly stretched its neck forward and spread its wings, emitting bursts of shrill roars that shook the dense forest.

“Ah ...

The terrifying roar created an air wave that blew away the fallen leaves in front of it.

The stone on his wrist shimmered.

Orlan seemed to have not heard anything at all. He rushed forward, the sword blade slipped out of the scabbard, and with a flash of cold light, he slashed down and cut a bloody wound on the top of the roaring Thousand Blade Dragon's head.

Step forward and cut!

The unexpected attack interrupted the Thousand Blade Dragon's roar. It shook its head and subconsciously took half a step back.

But then, as if angered by its own retreat, the Thousand Blade Dragon pushed its wing claws hard, raised its upper body, and raised its extremely thick yet amazingly flexible hind claws, and grabbed forward suddenly.

At the critical moment, Orlan slid and turned in time to avoid the blow that was enough to disembowel the large monster.

Without rushing to launch a counterattack by looking for a flaw, Orlan took advantage of the situation and took a few steps back, keeping a safe distance. At the same time, he put the sword into the sheath at his waist and looked at the opponent in front of him vigilantly.

Thousand Blade Dragon, a large flying dragon with a five-star danger level, is a terrifying existence that can suppress the Male Rathalos at high altitudes. If it were not for its rarity, the title of "King of the Sky" would probably fall on this guy in front of him.

"Liga!"

Seeing the hunter retreat, the Thousand Blade Dragon roared, made a movement similar to the Iron Mountain Lean, and charged forward.

Orlan was not within the attack range of its collision, but as its body vibrated, two or three diamond-shaped scales with sharp edges shot out and attacked the hunter not far away like flying knives.

At the same time, Orlan, who had entered the Iai stance in advance and was on guard, drew his sword and slashed forward with two swords at a rapid speed, blocking the blade scales.

"Qiang! Qiang!"

The force carried by the blade scales was so great that the hilt almost slipped out of his hand. The extremely harsh metallic noise made Orlan feel something was wrong.

Several glaring cracks appeared on the originally smooth and sharp blade.

Chapter 246: Probing Attack

These scales are so hard?!

Aolan's face looked grim.

The cracks on the sword blade that knocked off the scales were not just small cracks the size of rice grains, but were even more than one centimeter deep.

A crack of this magnitude cannot be solved by grinding it with a whetstone a few times. The structure of the sword may have been damaged. If it encounters another severe impact, it would not be surprising if it completely breaks at the crack.

The only way to completely repair such damage is to send it to the workshop for re-casting.

The iron sword [Kagura], which had been used for nearly two years without any problems, was seriously damaged in just one collision.

Is this the true strength of a five-star dangerous monster?

Olang raised his vigilance to the highest level.

"Boss! Meow over here!" I heard Seabuckthorn's shouting in my ears.

As if stimulated by the sound, the Thousand Blade Dragon, which was also staring at its opponent, suddenly shook its head and several more blade scales rushed towards the hunter.

This time, Aolan didn't dare to swing his sword to block. He ran quickly towards where Seabuckthorn was.

The blade scales missed, and the Thousand Blade Dragon shook its head again as if unwilling to give up, and several more blade scales attacked the running hunter.

At the last moment when he was about to be covered by the blade scales, Orlan slid and hid behind a big tree with a trunk more than two meters thick.

The golden blade scales were deeply embedded in the tree trunk, making a dull "chopping" sound like a chopping knife chopping a chopping board.

Seabuckthorn, who was hiding behind a big tree, quickly handed the cold chopping knife on his back to Aolang.

The sharpness of the Leng Leng chopping knife is higher than that of the iron knife [Kagura]. More importantly, the iron knife [Kagura] is currently severely damaged. With another weapon as a replacement, Ao Lang suddenly feels more confident.

"Well done." After inserting the iron knife [Kagura] into the ground and taking the cold chopping knife, Orlan praised.

When the airship was attacked before, they threw away all their luggage in order to reduce weight, including this cold chopping knife, which was almost pushed off the pod.

If Seabuckthorn had not been quick enough to pick it up, it would have fallen somewhere by now.

"The Fire Dragon No. 7 units should have fallen around here too, meow. Let's go look for anything useful!"

In order to get Orlan's cold chopping knife, Seabuckthorn didn't even take his cat sword. It could be said that he was unarmed and knew that he could not help at the moment, so he planned to find some tools.

"it is good!"

"Boss, be careful, meow!" After saying that, Seabuckthorn ran on all fours and dived into the shadows of the trees in the dense forest.

Just as Orlan was about to leave the big tree where he was hiding, he heard the roar of a giant creature breaking through the wind.

Realizing the danger, he immediately fell to the ground. The next second, a dragon's tail with layers of blade-scale spines and shaped like a giant file swept over him.

Almost in an instant, the tree trunk, which was more than two meters thick, was torn into pieces, and wood chips and debris flew around like a rainstorm.

With this kind of power, there's no room for error.

Orlan supported himself on the ground with his hands, quickly stood up, and used the big trees everywhere around him as cover, running and walking around the Thousand Blade Dragon.

According to Teacher Huali and the others, his current strength was barely enough to be a five-star hunter, but if he were to hunt a five-star monster alone, he would probably lose more than he would win.

This is the case after doing homework in advance, collecting intelligence such as weakness information, and making targeted preparations.

Like now, suddenly encountering a completely unfamiliar five-star monster, with attack habits, weak spots and other key information completely unknown, it would be strange if nothing went wrong if you rashly rushed up to fight head-on.

Just like the situation just now where he didn't choose to dodge but used Koiwa to block the blade scale, causing the iron sword [Kagura] to be damaged, it was obviously a loss due to insufficient information.

As Orlan circled around with the Thousand Blade Dragon, he pondered.

The only information available at the moment is the two sentences Eric blurted out when the Thousand Blade Dragon just appeared on the airship: "Good at air combat" and "Weaknesses: thunder, followed by ice and water."

The cold chopping knife with dual attributes of ice and water behind him should be able to play a certain suppressive role. This is the only good news.

Any information beyond this can only be obtained bit by bit through observation and trial.

In the clearing in the dense forest, the Thousand Blade Dragon slowly turned its gaze, its dragon eyes fixed on the fast-running hunter.

When the hunter passed by it dozens of meters away, it suddenly jumped up and kicked the guy who was darting around like a fly with its strong and powerful dragon claws.

Orlan, who was prepared, suddenly transformed into a demon, and his running speed instantly increased by two levels. He rushed out of the kicking and grabbing range of the Thousand Blade Dragon before it landed.

Orlan's eyes fixed on the Thousand Blade Dragon's raised body.

Almost every part of the golden flying dragon in front of him was covered in sharp and hard blade scales.

Only the scales from the lower neck to the abdomen are lighter in color. Unlike the golden scales, they do not reflect a metallic luster. Their texture is closer to keratin and there are larger gaps between the scales.

This should be considered a weakness.

"Liga!"

The proud claw strike missed, and the Thousand Blade Dragon turned around angrily and swung its tail. Several blade scales flew out from its tail and attacked the hunter who was moving at high speed.

During the attack, can it launch blade scales from its head, neck, and tail by swinging or swinging its body to launch additional attacks?

We must be vigilant about this. Once we relax our minds after avoiding an attack, we can easily fall into the trap.

While running, Orlan never took his eyes off his opponent. At the moment when the blade scales were about to hit him, he took advantage of the momentum of running at full speed to leap up, flipped his body in the air, and dodged the attacking blade scales.

The blade scales flew across his back almost touching it. The tense feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife made him concentrate to the extreme.

A faint blue light flashed at the ends of the two swords wrapped in the red blood of the demon.

Blue ghost opens.

In this state, the originally surging and explosive demon fighting spirit becomes more stable and orderly, allowing the hunter to control every muscle in the body more accurately.

In the ghost-like state, his already astonishing speed increased again. Although he was just running, he left a light blue afterimage behind him.

Feeling the surging power in his body, Orlan decided to launch a round of tentative attacks.

He turned around and rushed towards the Thousand Blade Dragon not far away.

The distance of dozens of meters disappeared in the blink of an eye. Before the Thousand Blade Dragon could react, the hunter had already arrived in front of it.

Faced with this sudden attack, the Thousand Blade Dragon naturally would not retreat. It roared and swung its wings and claws, sweeping towards the approaching opponent.

Orlan did not slow down and continued to rush towards the attacking wing claws.

At the moment when the sharp claws were about to tear him into pieces, he lowered his body and slid directly under the Thousand Blade Dragon's wing claws, getting close to the latter's chest and abdomen.

As he stood up, he took advantage of the situation and swung his sword.

Slide slash!

This was a one-handed sword technique he learned from Sail. It was not easy to perform with a large weapon like a katana, but it was no difficulty for him to perform this technique with the equally light and compact twin swords.

He even continued to rotate his body in the direction of the blade, and then performed the Demonic Charge Slash.

The two swords danced swiftly, and the sickle-shaped blades wrapped in frost and mist continuously cut through the chest of the Thousand Blade Dragon, cutting several narrow bloody wounds. At the same time, the cold mist erupting from the blades penetrated into the wounds, freezing the blood that was about to flow out into ice chips.

The sudden coldness made the Thousand Blade Dragon shiver, and it flapped its wings to try to create distance.
