Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

"Beautiful!" Orlan couldn't help but wave his fist and praise loudly.

Xianglan, who was treating his wound, was also stunned. "How could this cat attract lightning? Young people nowadays are playing with cats so big?"

He was mumbling something, but his hands were not slowing down at all.

The needle and thread wrapped between the claws were weaving and interweaving in the wound at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to see.

The wound is too deep; simply suturing the surface won't do the trick.

The damaged blood vessels and broken muscles were all sutured together layer by layer by it, combined with the recovery potion G that had just been consumed, and the life dust that was more effective against external injuries.

In just one minute, it had repaired the severe, almost fatal laceration, and the fountain-like bleeding finally stopped.

After wrapping several layers of bandages tightly with a special technique, Xianglan patted Aolang's thigh.

"It's done, meow! As expected of meow, this kind of laceration can't be treated by ordinary people. I'll bleed to death, meow."

Xianglan raised her chin proudly, "I don't have time to apply anesthetic, so it will probably be a little painful, meow. Just give it a few minutes to relax. Once the recovery potion and life dust take effect, you'll be able to move around normally, meow."

The only problem is that it might leave an ugly scar afterwards, meow, but you’re not a girl, so you probably won’t mind, meow hehe!”

Of course I don’t care. Compared with saving a life, are the pain of stitches and the scar on the leg worth mentioning?

"Thank you very much, Master Xianglan."

Aolan stood up on his knees, thanked him solemnly, and then praised him sincerely, "You are truly worthy of being the legendary hunting cat. Your suturing skills alone are beyond the reach of professional doctors in big cities!"

Unconsciously, he upgraded the way he addressed Xianglan from "Miss" to the more respectful "Sir".

Xianglan was even more proud when she heard that, "That's not the end of the story, as long as your head doesn't fall off, I can sew the rest of your body back together!

Besides, medical technology is nothing, meow, I know a lot more meow!"

As it said this, it threw away the needle, thread and bandage, took out a musical instrument that looked like a large conch, and started playing and dancing to it.

The music contained a magical blessing, and Orlan could clearly feel that his body, which had become weak and exhausted due to heavy blood loss, was filled with strength again.

The severe pain from the wound on the thigh gradually subsided, replaced by itching and numbness caused by the rapid healing of the muscles.

"This is."

Before he could finish his surprise, the music played by Xianglan changed, and the rhythm and music became obviously more heroic and sonorous.

His heartbeat quickened with the rhythm of the music. Orlan felt as if he had taken a devilish pill. Not only did his muscles become swollen, but his emotions also became bold and passionate.

The lingering fear of falling from a high altitude, the uneasiness of facing a powerful enemy, the fear of facing death, all negative emotions were dispelled by this music.

Now he just wanted to rush forward with a howl and cut the Thousand Blade Dragon into pieces!

After completing the inspiring playing and dancing, Xianglan casually sprinkled two handfuls of ghost dust and hardening dust on Aolan.

"That's about it, go ahead, meow! I'm too lazy to deal with a monster of this level myself, meow!"

Resisting the urge to rush out, Orlan asked in a confirming tone, "We can retreat now. Do you agree to continue hunting?"

Although it shouldn't be against the rules, the guild might ask about it, since the Thousand Blade Dragon is a very rare monster after all."

If before setting off, he still had some bad thoughts like "I can run away as much as I want, Xianglan is there to support me", then now that his life has been saved, he certainly will not think of cheating the other party anymore.

"Why ask, meow? The airship has been shot down. Keeping this guy here will only cause trouble. Sooner or later, he will hurt others, meow.

Even the Great Elder won't say anything about hunting this kind of monster, so go ahead and do it boldly!" Xianglan waved her claws with a heroic gesture.

"Since you've said so." Orlan drew his swords again and grinned, "As you command."

The two swords overlapped, and the blades rubbed against each other hard. With a sharp "clang" sound, a blood-red fighting spirit that was far more dazzling than before ignited.

The demonization begins!

Holding both swords in reverse, Orlan kicked the ground hard, and his whole body turned into an afterimage, shooting towards his opponent who stood up staggeringly.

He didn't know whether it was because he had seen through life and death in the desperate battle just now, his state of mind had changed and he had made some kind of breakthrough, or whether it was the voice of "Fuck it!" behind him that gave him enough confidence.

At this moment, Orlan inexplicably felt that the Thousand Blade Dragon in front of him had given him a suffocating and oppressive feeling not long ago.

Although still a powerful enemy, it is no longer worth fearing.

Chapter 249 Until the Prey Dies

With green smoke coming out of its body, the Thousand Blade Dragon used its wing claws to support the ground and stood up with difficulty.

Seabuckthorn himself didn't expect that the effect of attracting lightning strikes would be so good.

It was true that it had killed the Shadow Spider in a similar way before, but the Shadow Spider was already seriously injured and dying at that time. Moreover, in terms of size and vitality, the Thousand Blade Dragon and the Shadow Spider were creatures of completely different levels.

According to its original plan, if it could draw down lightning to paralyze the Thousand Blade Dragon for a while, it would be a blessing if it could buy some time for Lady Xianglan to treat the boss.

If it fails to attract lightning, or the lightning strike is not effective enough, it also plans to blow the horn and use its physical body to lure the enemy.

Who would have thought that this lightning almost killed the Thousand Blade Dragon?

Unfortunately, it only found this one usable one among the several lightning rods it had prepared in advance. Otherwise, if it had been hit a few more times, it might have been killed.

Seeing Aolang running towards him with two swords in hand, Seabuckthorn, who had been worried, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Fire Dragon and the Princess Spider have been destroyed, meow. That was the only ammunition for the Thunder Wolf Dragon, meow!" It reported the situation to Orlan loudly.

After falling from such a high altitude, it is a blessing to be able to find something useful.

"It's okay! Leave the rest to me!"

With a clear goal, Orlan charged straight towards the Thousand Blade Dragon's hind legs.

Thousand Blade Dragon shook his body vigorously twice and finally got rid of the state of muscle spasms and paralysis.

Seeing that the hunter who should have lost the ability to move had regained his vitality, the Thousand Blade Dragon was extremely angry. It turned its body sideways and swung its huge tail, as if to smash the hunter to pieces with one blow.

Facing the approaching attack, Orlan instantly guessed the Thousand Blade Dragon's true purpose.

Perhaps he himself did not realize that in the previous life-and-death confrontation, the breakthrough was not only in the activity of his fighting spirit, but also in his thinking speed, which was significantly accelerated.

His eyes scanned rapidly and his feet suddenly changed direction.

He arrived in front of a big tree nearby just one second before the dragon's tail hit him. He jumped up and used his toes to push against the trunk to gain leverage. He suddenly shot up nearly one meter and dodged the powerful tail attack by jumping on his back.

After landing, he did not slow down and continued to rush towards the Thousand Blade Dragon several meters away.

The Thousand Blade Dragon leaped up using the momentum of its tail swing, spread its wings to stabilize its body, and used the momentum to fly backwards.

Of course Aolang remembered this move: sweeping the dragon's tail, jumping back, and then sweeping the tail blade scales over a large area. He had suffered a great loss from this move before.

With his jumping ability, he could have dodged the dragon's tail sweeping across the ground by simply jumping backwards. Why did he have to kick against the tree trunk for leverage?

The reason is speed.

With the help of that momentum, he was able to continue sprinting at high speed after landing, closely following the Thousand Blade Dragon that was twisting and turning in the air, and getting close to it again as it landed.

The Thousand Blade Dragon didn't even notice that the hunter had come under it. After landing, it continued to turn its body, swung its tail violently, and spurted out large pieces of blade scales forward.

In order to make it easier to swing out the scales, this time the tail is not swinging close to the ground.

And Orlan took advantage of the inertia of the charge to duck and slide, and got under the dragon's tail before the blade scales flew out. He successfully avoided the sweep of the blade scales and came between the legs of the Thousand Blade Dragon.

He stood up with a slide slash, then used the Demonic Charge Slash to continuously cut the Thousand Blade Dragon's ankles, while adjusting his position to get into the best attack position where he could attack both legs at the same time.

Then came the full-force explosion of the demons and the frenzy of dance!

Under the ultra-high frequency slashing, the ankles of the Thousand Blade Dragon were cut into a bloody mess, and the dragon's blood dyed the hunter's armor red. The sharp but scattered sword energy was condensing at an astonishing speed.

The ghost's enhanced state is activated!

“Gahhhh!!”

Orlang's frenzy continued, and the Thousand Blade Dragon, feeling the pain, finally realized that the hunter had crawled under it. It hurriedly raised one of its hind paws and scratched backwards.

"You're greedy for the sword, meow." Xianglan, who was licking her paws and watching the battle from a distance, muttered.

It is extremely difficult to interrupt the attack and dodge during the demon's dance. In its opinion, completing one round of dance is enough, and it is too radical to start a second round rashly.

However, just as it was preparing to provide emergency support, Orlan's response was beyond its expectations.

He seemed to have tripped and was about to fall, and his body tilted and twisted his waist in a very awkward posture, diverting the powerful inertia of the dance that was difficult to interrupt into a lateral rotation force.

The whole person spun at high speed like a top and slid back several meters, narrowly avoiding the Thousand Blade Dragon's grasp.

A deep blue light flashed on the sword blade, and the blue ghost state was activated.

"Meow?"

Xianglan paused and blinked in surprise, "Ranbu switches to Charge Slash but uses the momentum to move, meow?"

This is a fairly advanced skill for dual-sword users. The key lies in the precise control of the timing of switching moves and the inertia of the movements.

Even it had only seen similar techniques from one or two well-known dual-sword users.

But unlike those guys, Olang's control over timing and movements was obviously not that precise. This guy simply relied on his own outrageous body coordination to forcibly turn it around.

"What an outrageous guy, meow."

Aolan naturally had no idea that "Lord Xianglan" was secretly criticizing him. After dodging the attack in time by using the backward "charge" slash, he decisively ended his demon-like state.

Adjust your breathing and heartbeat in the demon-enhanced state to restore your physical strength, continue to accumulate sword energy in the demon-enhanced state, and activate the demon-enhanced state.

As long as they master the cycle, a dual swordsman can also carry out long-term and high-intensity combat.

“Ahhhh!”

By kicking and scratching, the Thousand Blade Dragon temporarily forced the hunter back from his feet. He took the opportunity to turn around, lowered his back and exerted force, then suddenly twisted forward and thrust the sword-like horn on his head towards the hunter.

By stepping forward and sliding backward, Orlan easily avoided the collision, but he did not relax. Instead, he became alert.

So far in the fight, he has noticed that the Thousand Blade Dragon's attacks are very consistent.

One move is often followed by a stronger killing move, like the blade scale sweep that follows the tail swing and jump.

The scratching just now doesn't even count as a move, so it's not considered.

Take the head-on collision for example. The movement was large, but the attack range was just so-so. It felt like he had made a full stance but only delivered a short jab.

There is no reason for the monster to do such a meaningless thing. This is most likely a "warm-up move" for some more powerful move.

Orlan tensed his legs slightly, preparing for the next attack.

Just as he expected, the Thousand Blade Dragon, whose attack missed, did not stop moving. It folded its wings and flew into the air. As its wings flipped, its body, reflecting the dazzling light, flexibly rotated in the air.

The hunter's attention was inevitably distracted for a moment by the golden reflection and graceful dance-like movements.

At this moment, the Thousand Blade Dragon suddenly spread its wings, and the dragon claws hidden behind the wings kicked and grabbed down suddenly.

Orlan was very glad that he had made preparations in advance. At the moment the claws attacked, he exerted force on his feet and his body began to spin and slide at high speed again. In the blink of an eye, he slid sideways five or six meters and narrowly avoided this extremely confusing attack.

The sharp dragon claws plowed a deep groove more than one meter deep in the ground. Driven by strong inertia, it continued to rush forward for nearly two body lengths before barely stopping.

Having narrowly avoided the attack, Orlan charged again, approaching his opponent at full speed.

The previous setback reminded him of one thing: absolutely! He absolutely could not let the Thousand Blade Dragon gain distance!

Timely decision-making once again saved his life.

The Thousand Blade Dragon, whose turning kick and grab missed, didn't even have time to come to a complete stop before it suddenly flapped its wings and soared into the air dozens of meters above the ground.

It contracts its body to gather strength, then propels itself forward with its wings, kicking and grabbing the hunter on the ground with all its might.

The power and speed of this strike far surpassed even the previous mid-air kick! Even a slight graze, let alone a head-on hit, would surely result in broken bones and tendons.

Facing the Thousand Blade Dragon that was attacking like a meteorite, Orlan made a judgment in an instant.

Run back? Dodge to the left or right? Neither of them is an option. It shouldn't be difficult for the Thousand Blade Dragon, which is good at flying, to change the trajectory of its kick mid-air.

The only way is to run towards it!

No matter whether it is kicking to the front left, front right, or further forward, no matter how the Thousand Blade Dragon's kick and grab are adjusted, it will definitely be forward.

If I can get under it or even behind it before its kick hits the ground, no matter how fierce the kick is, it will miss!

Without any hesitation, Orlan transformed into a demon again.

With the superposition of multiple states such as demon transformation, demon enhancement, and blue demon, his burst speed has reached an unprecedented level.

Almost in a flash, his figure disappeared from the Thousand Blade Dragon's sight and rushed straight to the bottom of its body.

At this point, he had successfully avoided the Thousand Blade Dragon's long-planned combo.

But you can't kill the monster just by dodging its attacks.

The moment the Thousand Blade Dragon flew over his head, Orlan raised his hand and fired his grappling hook, hooking onto one of the Thousand Blade Dragon's hind legs.
