Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

Eric, who was sketching a waterweed, hurriedly put away the paper and pen in his hand, and looked nervously and excitedly at the top of the cave, at the opening hidden by the crown of the giant tree.

Suddenly, the noise stopped, and half a minute, then a minute, passed.

Seabuckthorn confirmed that he had heard correctly before. There was something, and it was a creature of considerable size, coming near the cave entrance.

So did it leave? Probably not. If it had, there wouldn't be any sound at all, especially if I were concentrating and listening.

In other words, the guy was still standing outside the cave entrance, watching.

The sea buckthorn on the treetops remained silent. Without its signal, the hunters in the cave naturally hid carefully and remained motionless.

"Buzz-"

Amid the low humming sound of insect wings vibrating at high speed, several glowing star-feather butterflies flew in from the cave entrance and circled around in the cave, as if exploring something.

Orlan could clearly feel his heartbeat quickening.

That guy is really back!

Suddenly, a star-feather butterfly turned and headed towards the bushes where Orlan was hiding.

This sudden change startled him. It was obvious that these star-feather butterflies were released by that timid and cautious guy to explore the way.

If Xingyudie discovered that there were dangerous people like them lurking in the cave, Xinglong, who would run away after seeing a few strange-faced people, would definitely turn around and run away.

It must not be discovered!

Aolan tried hard to control his emotions and control his heartbeat, but perhaps because of his bad luck, the star-feather butterfly seemed to have set its sights on the bushes and flew straight towards them.

"Hey! Look at me!" Eric suddenly shouted.

Then he jumped into the pool of water in front of him, bent down and splashed the water with his hands, making huge splashes and noises.

Orlan knew that Eric was trying to attract the Star Feather Butterfly's attention to himself in this way.

This method is a bit risky, but it is the only way.

Eric never hid his tracks from beginning to end. The coward outside the cave must have noticed his presence. Since he did not run away immediately, it meant that the latter did not regard him as a threat.

In that case, it shouldn't be a big problem if Eric acts more conspicuously as bait, at least it's better than the hunters being discovered.

Eric's efforts paid off. With the splash of water, the Star Feather Butterfly with low IQ turned towards him, flew around his head twice, and then turned to other areas.

Several star-feather butterflies circled and explored the entire cave.

Under the dual cover of invisible clothing and "bait", the hunters hiding in the bushes were finally not discovered.

Having completed its exploration, the Star Feather Butterfly fluttered its wings and returned to the opening at the top of the cave, where it landed in a circle.

The wings emitting a faint orange-red glow trembled slightly, as if welcoming their monarch.

Eric didn't even have time to walk out of the pool of water. He just stood in the knee-deep water, raised his head, and looked at the hole at the top of the cave with anticipation.

It was as if the human instinct to fear monsters had been erased from his brain.

He now only hoped that the sticky oil on his body could really act as an attraction, giving him the opportunity to observe closely the mysterious creature that there were only a few pages of information in the academic library.

The hunters in the bushes lowered their eyes.

The gaze had weight. In order to prevent the target from noticing their presence early and turning around to escape, they only dared to glance at the cave entrance with the corner of their eyes.

The sound of footsteps, like walking on tiptoe, so light and slow, one could even say it was cautious, came from the hole above everyone's heads.

After a brief pause of a few seconds, brilliant orange-red color came into their sight.

What kind of color was that? It was like the afterglow of the sunset, with twinkling stars in it, making the strange luminous plants in the cave look dim and colorless.

It has a body structure that is completely different from ordinary flying dragons and beast dragons.

(The picture is from the uploader 'Xinren Hotpot'. The star dragon in the game doesn't seem as majestic as in the setting collection, it's more elegant. If you have suitable pictures, you can also share them 0v0)

It has a small head, a soft neck, a slender body and limbs, yet it carries a special sense of power. Countless star-feather butterflies cling to it, and their slightly trembling wings are like the feathers of a goddess dancing in the wind.

Even the cautious action of peeking into the cave entrance revealed a special elegance and delicate temperament.

For a moment, Orlan felt reluctant to attack such a beautiful creature.

Of course, this reluctance only lasted for a short moment.

Considering the huge impact this guy has on the jungle ecology, let alone capturing him without risking his life, he should not hesitate even if he has to hunt him on the spot.

"Oh——" Eric even forgot to lift the portable camera around his neck. He held his face and let out a sigh of intoxication.

Looking around to make sure there was no danger, the Star Dragon followed the branches of the giant tree and walked slowly and gracefully into the cave like a princess walking down the long steps of a palace.

The pure golden eyes naturally fell on Eric.

Those eyes did not have the ferocity and bloodlust that are common in monsters' eyes. Instead, there was only curiosity and a little bit of timidity.

It sniffed and thought the strange creature in front of it smelled quite nice. It had smelled a similar smell two days ago, but didn't dare to go over.

"Princess~!"

Eric suddenly opened his arms, looking like a pervert who was about to hug the star dragon. This sudden "offensive" action scared the star dragon. It cautiously took a few steps back and planned to escape.

Olang, who was observing secretly, decided not to wait any longer.

"Go! Don't let it get away!"

With a loud shout, the fully-armed hunter and Elu rushed out of their respective hiding places at the same time and attacked the poor star dragon, who was so scared that he jumped on the spot, looking at a loss.

Chapter 290 The Correct Use of Sleep Weapons

When charging closer, Orlan noticed that the star dragon was smaller than he had expected.

Or, a lot smaller?

According to the information provided by the professor, the average body length of a star dragon should be around fifteen meters. However, the creature in front of him was only about ten meters long, maybe a little less.

It's more than a circle smaller than what's in the information.

Considering that the star dragon is the juvenile of this species, since it is a juvenile, it will naturally have different stages of growth.

Just like humans, there are teenagers who are fifteen or sixteen years old and whose body size is not much different from that of adults. Naturally, there are also young children who are six, seven or eight years old who can run and jump but are small in size.

The guy in front of me is most likely the latter.

No wonder he is so cautious in every move. He runs away when he sees a few strange-faced people. It’s not surprising since he is a child.

Isn’t it normal for children to scream in fear when they see mice and cockroaches?

In addition, although the gender of this star dragon is unknown, its gorgeous appearance and elegant and delicate movements easily remind people of a spoiled girl.

When the dye ball thrown by Seabuckthorn splashed all over it, it let out a terrified scream.

The guilt of bullying the little girl arises spontaneously

Muti doesn't have the rich associative ability of Oran, she just wants to get rid of the target quickly.

After changing into the katana, Muti felt that his steps were a little lighter than usual. He rushed to Xinglong with a "Hah!" and slashed him on the head with a step forward.

The katana is a weapon that requires constant practice and requires daily skill. After not using it for over a year, I haven't forgotten how to use it, but the technique has become rusty and my sword skills have declined.

In addition, this "Blood and Tears" was customized according to Orlan's limb data, so Muti found it a little awkward to use, and the blade was slightly stuck when it was unsheathed.

Under the combined influence, the sword, which should have hit the target cleanly and efficiently, fell a little slower by half a beat.

Xinglong, who reacted quickly, screamed and jumped back, causing Muti's sword to hit the ground.

Looking at the sword head deeply embedded in the ground and imagining the feeling of the sword hitting himself, the young Star Dragon had no desire to fight back and turned around and ran away.

Muti's face was also a little embarrassed. She held the sword at an angle and began to chase Xinglong everywhere.

However, the Star Dragon's movements were unexpectedly agile. Although it did not have the crushing oppressive feeling of a large monster when it started its dragon chariot, it was more light and graceful, like a frightened rabbit, being chased by Muti and running around.

Orlan slowed down his pace and fixed his eyes slightly.

Muti, who was chasing the star dragon closely, didn't notice it, but from a distance he discovered that the star dragon was consciously approaching the passage leading to the underground cave.

Suddenly, it swung its long tail, and several star-feather butterflies left its body, flapping their wings and accelerating continuously, and finally turned into several afterimages, flying towards Muti who was chasing behind from multiple angles.

These star-feather butterflies folded their wings and closed their elytra, like sharp flying knives. If they were hit head-on, it would not be a pleasant experience.

Muti paused, took a quick look and made a judgment. He sheathed his sword as quickly as possible and assumed the Iai stance.

Then, she drew her sword and slashed forward continuously, splitting the two approaching Star Feather Butterflies.

There was also a Star-Feather Butterfly attacking from the side. She knew that she didn't have time to block it with her sword, so she slightly turned her body and let the Star-Feather Butterfly hit her heavy shoulder armor.

There was a soft "click" sound.

A small dent was knocked into the gray-white shoulder armor with a texture like granite, and Muti felt as if he had been hit hard by someone.

Fortunately, her hard training with the rifle had given her a very stable lower body. She only took half a step back and was able to withstand the impact steadily without being injured.

However, the star-feather butterflies that turned themselves into weapons had their shells shattered and their wings broken in the collision with the swords and armor. They fell to the ground and soon died.

Taking advantage of the few seconds when Muti was blocked by the Star Feather Butterfly, the Star Dragon jumped and accelerated, and was about to enter the corridor leading to the complex cave.

But at this moment, a figure came in from the side and stood in front of it one step ahead.

With his sword and shield raised, Orlan was ready to face the onslaught.

If the opponent was a Boom Dragon, he certainly wouldn't dare to block it with his arm shield, but the one running towards him was a young Star Dragon that was barely ten meters long and not much bigger than the Blue Speed ​​Dragon King.

Then he really wanted to experience the excitement of Muti wrestling with the monster by holding his shield against its head.

Unfortunately, Xinglong did not give him this opportunity.

Seeing another hunter blocking its way, it jumped back screaming like a cat frightened by a cucumber, and tried to find another escape route.

At this time, Muti also caught up.

Seeing that he was about to be caught in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides, the young star dragon let out a long roar.

Several more star-feather butterflies, which were clinging to the gaps in its shell and which one might mistake for part of its body if one didn't look carefully, flew up and circled around its body at high speed, forcing the hunters to retreat.

"Tsk, this is a bit annoying." Raising his shield to block a charging Star Feather Butterfly, Orlan smacked his tongue slightly in annoyance.

This young star dragon is not difficult to deal with. The problem lies in these insects flying everywhere. They are like swarms of giant bees. They are not fatal, but they are very annoying.

The flying speed and attack power of the Star-Feather Butterfly are much stronger than those of the Giant Bee. They must find a way to break through the blockade of the insect swarm, otherwise it will be easy for the Star Dragon to find a flaw and slip out of the cave.

So, while the swarms of Star-Feather Butterflies were forcing them back, the Star Dragon accelerated again and ran towards the big tree in the center of the cave.

It wanted to climb along the tree trunk and out of the opening at the top of the cave!

Is there any way to break through the Zerg swarm's attack while intercepting the Star Dragon and preventing it from running around?

Orlan thought quickly, his eyes glancing at the shield in his right hand, and he actually came up with an idea on the spur of the moment.

"Mutti! Change weapons!"

"Huh? Oh!"

Muti wasn't sure what Orang was going to do, but since Orang had a plan, all she had to do was cooperate!

While the two were changing weapons, the Star Dragon had already arrived under the giant tree in the center of the cave. Just as it was about to jump onto the trunk of the giant tree, a loud shout came from the treetops.

"Take our shot, meow!"

With a muffled "bang" sound, the restraint bomb fired by the Spider No. 2 unit accurately hit one of the Star Dragon's forelimbs. The crossbow bullet with a barb was deeply embedded in the shell, dragging the fleeing Star Dragon.

Xinglong struggled hard, and the power he suddenly burst out was terrifying. Seabuckthorn was very glad that he had used screws to fix the Fei Spider No. 2 unit to the branches of the giant tree in advance, otherwise it would have broken free in an instant.

However, at this time, the Star Dragon once again demonstrated its high intelligence, which was different from ordinary monsters.

It suddenly stopped struggling, turned its head and bit the restraint bullet stuck in the shell near its shoulder, then kept twisting its head and exerting force to bite the restraint bullet out.

The rope of the restraining bomb shook violently, and in just two or three seconds, the bullet became loose and was about to fall off.

Seabuckthorn, who was trying hard to stabilize the rope, meowed loudly, "I can't hold on any longer, meow!"

At this time, the hunters who had replaced their weapons finally arrived.

Noticing this, the Star Dragon continued to bite the restraint bombs while releasing a large number of Star Feather Butterflies, launching a suicidal attack on the approaching hunters.

"I'll lead the way!" Orlan transformed into a ghost and accelerated while growling.

He swung the sword in his hand into afterimages, cutting down the attacking star-feather butterflies in groups, but his speed inevitably slowed down.

A star-feather butterfly hit his chest, cracking his breastplate. The powerful impact made him want to vomit blood, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to advance deeper into the swarm.

He quickly chopped off several Star Feather Butterflies with the Red Blade Slash, and when his momentum was finally exhausted, Orlan immediately moved to the side.

Following closely behind him, Muti raised his shield and exerted explosive force with his legs.
