Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

The professor paused for two seconds and said to his student, "Be careful and don't interfere with the hunters' actions."

"Okay!" Eric picked up the insect net and came behind Orlan happily.

Orlan's expression was dazed for a moment.

He remembered that when he was a child, he would also hold a bug net, shouting and chasing after his brothers and sisters, clamoring to catch termites together.

Sensing the change in Orlan's mood, Muti looked at him worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Olang regained his composure and quickly said to Eric, "Don't stray too far from us. If you see a giant bee, don't rush over without thinking. Give the warning in time."

"Leave it to me!" Eric waved the huge insect net with a diameter of almost one meter, looking full of confidence.

The three of them left the residence together. The professor shook his head slightly and continued his work.

After nightfall, temperatures in the desert will drop sharply, especially in low-lying areas, and may even drop to freezing point.

Chongri Town is located on the bedrock mountainside, and the temperature changes are slightly smaller. Although it still makes people feel chilly, it is not to the point of being unbearable.

There was not a single person to be seen on the streets of the town.

Due to the low temperature after nightfall, not many people are willing to go out. In addition, with the recent giant bee disaster, the townspeople have returned to their homes early and closed their doors and windows to avoid danger.

There was nothing in my ears except the sound of wind. Such a quiet environment was very suitable for finding prey like giant bees that would make obvious movements when moving.

After walking for only a few dozen meters, Orlan, who was in the front, suddenly clenched his fist and made a "pause" gesture. Eric, who was following closely behind him, almost bumped into him.

Ignoring the impatient young scholar, Orlan put his palms together and pointed in a direction.

On the wall of a residential building just over ten meters away from them, a dark object was lying. In the dim light of the rising moon, it could be seen that it was a giant bee lying motionless.

Eric was about to rush forward with excitement, but Muti behind him grabbed his collar and pulled him back. He threw Eric behind him and Muti took a few steps forward, ready to raise his rifle and fire.

Orlan quickly pressed down her hand.

Using a gunpowder rifle in the town, are you planning to blow up the townspeople's houses along with the giant bees?

Muti reacted and chuckled twice, took his finger off the trigger, and waved the rifle in his hand, meaning "I can use it to smash it."

Orlan pressed her hand down again. With this guy's strength, the result of a smash and a swing would probably not be much better than firing a cannon.

Muti put away his weapon embarrassedly and his eyes fell on Orlan's sword.

Orlan shook his head. Logically speaking, the safest way was to give the sword to Muti and let her cut off the giant bee's wings.

But he can't do this every time, otherwise he will really become Muti's knife bearer.

He snatched the exaggeratedly large insect net from Eric's hand and stuffed it into Muti's hand. Then, Orlan walked quietly towards the giant bee lying motionless on the wall.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters

The target has entered the attack range, but he is a little worried about how to attack.

The giant bee lying motionless has its wings folded, making it difficult to cut. If I chop it down with this knife, won't the giant bee be split in half?

Should I just use the thrusting method? While it would damage the corpse to some extent, I didn't have Muti's swordsmanship, so I couldn't use any fancy moves.

Having made up his mind, Orlan drew his sword.

Perhaps it was sensing the hunter's murderous intent or being startled by the clanging sound of the sword blade sliding out of the scabbard, but the giant bee suddenly spread its wings and was about to fly away.

Aolan no longer hesitated and immediately took a step forward, thrusting out the sword in his hand.

"Pfft-"

With a slight sound of flesh being cut, the tip of the iron knife [Kagura] pierced through the abdomen of the giant bee and stabbed into the wall without losing momentum, nailing the giant bee to the wall.

"Chi--" With a shrill scream, the giant bee shook its wings a few times and soon became silent.

Orlan breathed a sigh of relief. He was quite satisfied with the stab just now. The body was also intact and should not affect the professor's autopsy.

He applied a little more force to his hand, pulled it back, and pulled the sword and the giant bee together from the wall.

Looking at the palm-sized scratch on the wall, Orlan couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. Just as he was hesitating whether he should knock on the door and explain the situation, the window on the wall was opened from the inside.

The owner of the house leaned out and looked.

As a result, he saw a fully armed hunter holding a knife that was scary big to ordinary people. On the tip of the knife was a giant bee that was only about one meter long and its legs were still twitching. The hunter was "grinning" at him.

She was so frightened that she slammed the window shut, swallowing back the apology that Orlan was about to say.

Forget it.

Ao Lang bent down helplessly, grabbed a handful of sand from under the wall, and smeared it on the sword marks on the wall, at least filling it up.

"Here we go! Get ready!"

"okay!"

Muti and Eric's voices came from behind.

Orlan subconsciously turned around and found that the insect net had returned to Eric's hand at some point, and Muti was holding the shield high in both hands, like a huge mosquito swatter.

Another giant bee flew in front of them with a "buzzing" sound. Just as it passed by Muti about three meters away, Muti bit his tongue, took a big step forward, and swung the large shield in his hand.

With the sound of "whoosh" breaking wind, the huge steel shield knocked the giant bee down without any surprise.

Eric cheered and ran up excitedly with his insect net, ready to catch the giant bee alive.

When I ran closer, I found that the giant bee had turned into a puddle, sticking to the shield with a green color.

"Ah! Can't you use less force?" Eric said dissatisfiedly: "It's all smashed to pieces!"

Muti felt a little aggrieved, "I didn't use enough strength, so I can't even swing the shield."

Aolan wanted to cover his face when he saw this. "What are you doing?"

Chapter 92: Scary

Just as I was speechless, another giant bee flew by.

Muti and Eric, one swinging his rifle and the other picking up a bug net, tried to chase after him, but Orlan quickly stopped them.

He felt like he was taking care of two little children. If he didn't keep a close eye on them, they might get into danger or get into trouble.

Sighing, he took off the giant bee still hanging on the sword and held it in his hand, "Let's go back first and give this to the professor for dissection.

If there are no problems, you don’t have to hold back anymore.”

Having said that, he paused for two seconds, looked at Muti and added, "But be careful not to destroy other people's houses.

This kind of sandstone wall isn't very strong. My sword thrust just now only made a small dent. If you strike it with your rifle, the wall will collapse."

"Oh"

The three people who had just been out for less than a quarter of an hour returned to their residence. When they entered the house, they found that the elder was also there, and he seemed to be discussing something with the professor.

"We got results so soon?" The professor looked at the three people in surprise.

"Well, do you think this one is okay?" Orlan handed over the giant bee in his hand.

"Of course!" The professor took the giant bee corpse with some surprise, pushed away the clutter on the table, cleared enough space, and then said to the elder:

"You just asked if there was anything else you needed. Could you please get me some more oil lamps? I need bright light for the autopsy."

"No problem!" The elder also had a smile on his face.

He was very happy to see the corpses of these annoying giant bees!

"I got one too," Muti whispered like a child asking for praise.

"Where is it?" The professor looked at her happily. Although having a complete giant bee corpse for dissection was enough to prove some problems, it would be safer to have one more sample, right?

Muti raised his shield to show the stuff stuck on it.

".Throw it away quickly."

Muti squatted aside with a look of regret on his face, digging out the insect corpse. Aolan took this opportunity to stop the elder who was about to leave to prepare the oil lamp:

"Elder, the giant bees are more active at night, so we will continue our campaign to subjugate them.

There may be some noise during the process, and there may also be minor damage to the house, such as a few sword marks or scattered gun pellets embedded in the wall. Just a heads up."

The elder smiled and replied, "It's okay, just do your best. Everyone who comes to the town these days is almost going crazy because of the giant bees. No one will be angry if you make noise to get rid of them.

Minor damage to the house is not a big deal; gravel walls are easy to repair, but it's best not to cause too much damage, and be careful not to hurt anyone."

As he said this, the elder couldn't help but glance at the rifle behind Muti.

Compared to the slender sword on Oran's back, this gun barrel that is thicker than an adult's thigh looks more terrifying.

"So we'll just leave the body where it is?"

"No problem, someone will clean it up tomorrow morning. When you see the giant bee's corpse, you can step on it a few times to vent your anger." The elder was still thoughtful enough to make a joke.

I wonder if he will still be able to laugh when he sees the thick green blood of insects and broken bodies all over the ground tomorrow morning.

Reassured by the assurance, Orlan said to the professor, "Then let's continue our campaign against the giant wasp."

The professor, who was busy with pre-dissection work, waved his hand and told them to do as they pleased.

Eric, who had been helping the professor, picked up the insect net and ran over.

"Aren't you going to stay and help the professor?" Orlan frowned at him.

"Live giant bees are more interesting!" Eric said excitedly at first, but then realized that the hunter didn't seem to want to take him with him, so he quickly changed his words: "I can help!"

"Waving your insect net?"

"No! I understand the habits of giant bees better and know how to find their hiding places. Otherwise, if they're hiding in a dark corner, you'd easily miss them, wouldn't you?"

Orlan breathed a sigh of relief. This reason was quite convincing. After a brief hesitation, he still took this troublesome guy with him.

The three continued searching on the town road. This experience of hunting in a human settlement was quite novel.

In order to avoid the hunters being unwilling to take him with them, Eric worked hard to demonstrate the value of his knowledge, "Giant bees like dark, narrow, and sheltered places.

The desert is very windy and sandy, so we should search more on the leeward side of the building, and we will definitely find something!"

Orlan paused and thought, this is actually a good suggestion.

Although he and Muti both had many experiences in hunting giant bees, normally no hunter would specifically understand the ecology of giant bees.

If what Eric said was true, this one piece of advice would save them a lot of trouble.

The three of them followed this line of thought and soon found a giant bee standing still in the corner of the leeward side of a house.

"Leave it to me this time!" Muti unfolded his musket and raised his large shield.

Olang didn't try to stop him this time. He had reminded him several times before. Muti was not stupid and should have paid attention.

"Hey!"

Muti quickly ran forward a few steps and the giant bee, upon hearing the noise, immediately spread its wings and was about to take off with trembling wings.

Seeing this, Muti thrust out the rifle in his left hand without hesitation.

Her idea was similar to that of Orlan before. The stabbing moves were not very destructive, but they were fast, making them perfect for dealing with giant bees.

Unfortunately, the gunlance was not a katana after all. She had tried her best to increase the speed of the thrust, but it was still a moment too late, causing the giant bee to fly up and avoid the attack.

The only way to make the heavy gun move faster is to increase the force. With her efforts, this ordinary flat stab actually had a sense of power and heaviness.

Pushed by the heavy gun body, the muzzle blade penetrated the wall more than halfway.

Suddenly there was a scream in the house.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!"

Orlan felt the hairs on his body stand up. The blade of Muti's gunpowder was nearly one meter long, and half of it was half a meter long.

Which house has a wall half a meter thick? This one pierced through the wall.

If they only damaged the wall, it would be fine. But what if they injured someone? If a hunter injures a human with a weapon, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it is a serious crime, and that would be a big problem.

Without caring about the giant bee that flew away, Orlan hurried to the window of the house and knocked, asking loudly, "Sorry! Is anyone hurt?"

“.”No sound came from the house.

Anyone who is staying at home and suddenly sees a sharp blade wider than a palm penetrate the wall will be scared.

Muti's face turned pale with fear. He didn't even bother to pull out the rifle stuck in the wall. He hurried over to apologize, "I'm sorry!"

Orlan quickly added, "We are hunters, entrusted by the elders to defeat the giant bees. What just happened was an accident. If anyone is injured, we have potions."

"It's okay."
