Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

"No problem." Orlan nodded.

After each of them drank a bottle of walking potion, the two of them split up. Orlan took advantage of the dense vegetation around him to approach from the front, while Jara circled around to the side of the dragon.

As the distance got closer, Honglong's sniffing movements became more frequent. They could not get any closer, so the two gestured to each other from a distance.

Three, two, one!

The two men started to act at the same time. Orlan raised his hand and aimed at the head of the Boom Dragon, pulled the trigger, and launched the dye ball. Jara turned the insect stick and launched a ball of pheromone towards the position of the Boom Dragon's hind legs.

The dye ball hit the head of the Dragon King accurately, and the dye juice with a pungent smell and bright colors almost dyed the entire head of the Dragon King pink.

The hunting insect on Jarra's arm also danced out and landed on the wound on the hind leg of the Boom Dragon that had not yet fully healed, absorbing the substance and extracting the essence.

“Roar, ahh ...

After finally getting rid of some of the pungent smell, it was covered in it again. The furious Rhino supported its wings and claws on the ground, opened its huge mouth, and let out a deafening roar.

Orlan and Jara covered their ears in time to avoid being shocked by the terrifying roar that created an air wave.

Staring with eyes dyed pink by the dye ball, Honglong glanced around fiercely and soon found Orlan not far ahead.

The straight-line distance between the two is not far, only about fifty or sixty meters, but Orlan is located higher. Honglong must cross a river seven or eight meters wide and climb a steep slope before it can reach the latter.

However, the limbs of the Honglong were also "adaptable to all terrains". It leaped hard and easily crossed the river. Its sharp claws dug shallow pits one after another in the dark red rock. Amidst the flying dirt and rocks, it rushed towards Orlan at the top of the slope.

Orlan turned and ran.

To be honest, he was not very good at running in this densely vegetated forest. He felt that the green he had seen in the past ten years was not as much as what he had seen in the past two days.

But he remembered Jara's reminder and ignored everything else. He just went to the area where big trees grew densely and that was it!

After passing a tree that was so big that two people had to hug it, he was not careful and almost tripped by a tree root protruding from the ground. He supported himself on the ground with his hands and continued to run forward staggeringly. He was almost caught by the vines again and hurriedly ducked to get out of the way.

Damn! Why are there so many messed up obstacles?

The Honglong following closely behind had no interest in going around, so it lowered its head and smashed the tree into pieces.

But this was obviously not a smart choice. The fallen treetops, together with the surrounding vines, formed a sparse net that entangled the limbs and thorns on the back of the dragon.

The charging movement of the Boom Dragon paused, and then, with a loud roar, it forcibly broke free from the branches and vines and continued to chase forward.

And Orlan had taken advantage of these few seconds to increase the distance by nearly 20 meters.

He finally understood why Jara asked him to go to a place with many trees. It was true that these vegetation and trees would hinder his movements, but for a large monster like the Boom Dragon, the hindrance would only be more serious.

Sliding through a large tree that had somehow grown horizontally into an arch bridge, Olang was about to continue moving towards the target area when he heard a whistle in his ear.

He looked back and found that Jara, who should have been behind the Dragonite, had come around here at some point and was squatting on the arch-shaped tree, looking at him with a smile.

"The lights are all on! Find a place to hide, and leave the rest to us!" After saying that, he pulled down his armor, lowered his body, and got ready.

Orlan didn't know where to hide safely, so he continued to run forward.

Honglong followed closely. The space under the long horizontal tree was large enough, so Honglong did not try to hit the tree and bring trouble upon himself. Instead, he lowered his body slightly and crawled under the trunk.

At this moment, Jarrah, who was squatting on the tree trunk, jumped down waving the insect stick.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the moment Jarla landed on the dragon's back, Orlan seemed to hear a muffled "thump."

No large monster would like to be ridden on the back by other creatures, and the Boom Dragon is no exception.

It almost immediately gave up its immediate target and began shaking its body wildly, trying to throw the hunter off.

After running forward for a while, Orlan slowed down his pace. He ducked sideways into the trunk of a big tree and looked back at this place.

He thought Jarrah was going to do a ride.

The so-called riding is a very popular technique among Barubare hunters. It means climbing onto the monster's body by taking advantage of the terrain, or using methods such as insect sticks and pole vaulting, and then using a knife to repeatedly stab the monster's nerve-concentrated acupuncture points, causing it to suffer severe pain and even fall, thus creating attack opportunities for companions.

However, Jara had no intention of staying on the back of the dragon. When the dragon swung its body suddenly, Jara jumped down, rolled on the ground to relieve the impact, and then flew forward quickly.

The various obstacles such as stones, tree roots, branches, and vines that Orlan had to carefully avoid seemed to be non-existent in front of him.

He was like a giant bouncing ball, and he flew past in the blink of an eye, leaving Orlan with his mouth open.

Is this what they call a "flexible fat man"? !

No wonder he said that he was confident of escaping the pursuit of the Honglong. With this speed, even if he turned on the demon humanization, he might not be able to catch up, right?

And that was on flat ground. In this mountainous area with complex terrain, I would probably be left behind in a blink of an eye.

He suddenly understood why Brother Jarla was a four-star hunter, so he still used the Poison Bird suit, which was a bit outdated for him.

A substance called "mad walking extract" can be extracted from the body of the poisonous monster bird, which is the core raw material for making strong walking drugs.

This substance is also present in the material of the poisonous bird. When made into armor, it will slowly seep into the user's body as they exercise at high intensity, creating an effect similar to that of a walking drug. (Endurance +10, Hunger -10)

At the same time, the Poison Bird Set also has the effect of activating toxins (poison +13), which can significantly enhance the poison-attribute insect-control stick "Red Axe Gun" he uses.

So this guy's fighting style should be to rely on his advantage of being flexible and fast to continuously add toxins to the target, and then drain the monster to death?

好脏

As Orlang was muttering inwardly, the furious Dragon Rumbled past the tree where he was hiding. It didn't even realize that the target it was chasing had changed to someone else.

Looking at the receding figures of the man and the dragon, Ao Lang curled his lips and chased after them.

Chapter 120 Red Blade Prototype

With a turn of his wrist, he supported the insectoid stick on the ground, and using the inertia of his running and the leverage of the fulcrum, Jara leaped up.

Unlike most of the agile stick insects who can jump three to five meters, Jalana can jump as high as the length of his stick.

After barely getting his fat body over the rotten tree that had collapsed in front of him for many years, Jara continued to run wildly after landing. Within a few seconds, the Boom Dragon that was chasing closely behind him smashed the rotten tree to pieces and chased after it with a roar.

Ao Lang, who was also running fast and following closely behind the man and the dragon, had a somewhat numb expression.

He could no longer remember how many trees the dragon had broken and smashed, and there were also several huge rocks and so on.

Is this thing completely insensitive to pain? After so many collisions, it should have sustained some injuries, right? Or is it simply too enraged to notice?

Orlan was amazed at the strength of Honglong's body. Seeing that the distance between them was getting wider, he quickly quickened his pace.

His role in this operation was not critical. He mainly served as Jarrah's deputy to provide cover in case of accidents to increase the tolerance rate.

But even so, we have to keep up. If we can't even catch up with the two in front, then what's the point of covering them?

"Get ready!" Jara's loud roar came from the front.

Orlan's spirits lifted. They were already close to the first trap, and he could finally lend a hand!

Thinking of this, he drew his sword directly, swung the sword and turned into a demon, accelerating further to catch up.

At the same time, Jala flew over a small bump hidden under the fallen leaves in the forest. After landing and rolling, he did not continue to run forward, but turned around with the wheel dancing insect stick.

The Honglong that was chasing closely behind it didn't notice anything unusual on the ground at all, and stepped heavily on it with one of its wing claws.

Hidden under the fallen leaves is a paralysis trap set in advance.

Paralysis traps and pit traps are the two most commonly used trap mechanisms by hunters, and paralysis traps are also divided into two types.

The old-fashioned, or traditional paralysis trap, uses the paralysis fangs of the yellow speed dragon as the core material, and uses a large dose of paralysis toxin to paralyze the monster that steps into the trap.

In recent decades (starting from MH3), another type of paralysis trap has appeared. This paralysis trap uses lightning bugs instead of the paralysis fangs of the yellow speed dragon, paralyzing monsters through a powerful electric current that bursts out in an instant.

The latter has raw materials that are more widely distributed, is easier to make, and has more stable effects, and is now gradually becoming the mainstream.

This is the one that Jara and the others are using now. The moment the dragon's wing claws step into the trap, high-voltage current sweeps through its entire body.

The muscles of the Honglong, which already had a low resistance to lightning, spasmed violently. In an instant, it lost the ability to move, roaring silently, and was paralyzed in place, unable to move.

Jarrah, who had turned around in advance, brandished the insect stick and attacked the head of the Boom Dragon with a laugh.

"Take my Fatty Slash!"

The insect-controlling stick, which was known for its lightness and flexibility, was swung by him with great force and heaviness. The purple-black poison on the blade of the stick slowly seeped into the body of the dragon with his continuous attacks.

In the short term, this small amount of toxin will not have a significant impact on monsters of the size of the Boom Dragon, but as the dosage accumulates and time passes, the effect of the toxin will truly take effect.

Orlan, who had transformed into a demon, also came behind Honglong in the first place.

The attack site he chose was still the hind legs of the Boom Dragon. This place would not interfere with his teammates attacking from the front, and after accumulating enough trauma, it could effectively affect the flexibility of the monster's movements, and it was also relatively safe.

There's no better place to hit for shortstop!

The first move was a standard katana vertical slash. The flesh of the dragon in the paralyzed state did not become any better, and even became harder due to muscle spasms and tension. Naturally, the attack effect of this sword was average.

Orlan gritted his teeth and made a "tsk" sound.

It wasn't because his attack was ineffective. He had already anticipated this situation after fighting with Honglong yesterday. What really made him uncomfortable was the feel of swinging the sword.

In order to speed up his approach to the target, he activated his demonic transformation in advance, and his highly active muscles twitched constantly in the demonic state.

Although the attack frequency of the katana is not as slow as that of the greatsword, it is certainly not comparable to the dual swords, which makes him feel uncomfortable as if the rhythm is not right.

He had discovered this problem a long time ago and had been thinking about a solution.

The current idea is to combine Air Blade Slash with Demonization. After all, whether it is sword energy or fighting energy, it is essentially the use of energy in the body. The high-frequency attack characteristics of Air Blade Slash are also quite compatible with Demonization.

He has been trying to figure out how to combine them, but now he has just started attacking and has not yet been able to condense the sword energy, so he can't perform the Air Blade Slash even if he wants to.

Just as Orlan was about to stop transforming into a demon and attack with basic sword moves, the scene that happened during the battle yesterday jumped into his mind.

At that time, Muti was knocked away by the tail swing of Longhong. He was anxious to catch up with Longhong and try to slow down its pace of attacking its companions, so he started to transform into a demon.

The situation was urgent and there was no time to think. I just swung the sword in whatever way was convenient, and the speed of the sword was surprisingly fast.

How did you do it then? It seemed like an upward slash followed by a downward chop?

The body moved faster than the brain. As soon as I thought of this, the highly activated muscles under the demon transformation started moving on their own, and two swords were slashed out quickly.

"what?"

It seems to be quite smooth? At least smoother than the regular vertical slash.

Having used many kinds of weapons, and although not having mastered them, Olang had a good understanding of various sword techniques and martial arts, he quickly realized where this sense of smoothness came from.

Under normal circumstances, drawing a sword is like swinging a fist. Once the punch is thrown, the move is over.

But it's a completely different situation after the demon transformation is activated. With the muscles twitching at high speed, a punch will be retracted immediately before it is fully swung to prepare for the next punch.

Like a high-speed combination punch, the attack frequency is extremely high, but it is difficult to stop the movement in the middle. The Demon Dance of the dual-sword users is based on this twitching continuity.

Due to its length and weight, the katana cannot be swung as fast as the twin swords, but what if the "preparatory movements" or "follow-up movements" are also utilized?

Just like the upward slash followed by the downward chop just performed, it is essentially the vertical slash that the katana users have practiced to death.

As the most basic and direct sword move, the vertical slash also requires the sword to be raised first. Using the upward slash to replace the sword-raising action is usually difficult to do and will cause an obvious pause.

But in the ghost-like state, such pauses will be reduced to a minimum as the muscles twitch.

To put it simply, it's two moves at once.

Orlan performed the "upward slash followed by downward chop" technique again to consolidate his feeling. He was just about to open his mind and try a few more moves when he saw Honglong's body suddenly struggle and break free from the electric current restraint of the paralysis trap.

Although he felt regretful, Orlan could only temporarily stop transforming into a demon and step back a little. He couldn't attract too much attention from Honglong at this time, otherwise it would disrupt Jara's induction plan.

Fortunately, Jara's continuous attacks on the head also caught the attention of the Boom Dragon. After breaking free from the electric current, the first thing the Boom Dragon did was to open its huge mouth and bite straight ahead.

Jarra, who was well prepared, rolled backwards to avoid the huge mouth that closed with a "click" and ran at full speed again.

Long chase, tree crash, paralysis trap, electric shock, poison

Honglong, who was somewhat exhausted after this set of attacks, saw his opponent running away, so he immediately gathered up his strength, roared, and continued to chase him.

Chapter 121 Vine Trap

This is a depression located near the mountainside.

The hunters couldn't figure out how such a depression covering thousands of square meters was formed on the hard rock. They could only guess that it was due to geological changes that raised the pool created by the waterfall to the middle of the mountain.

There are many dark red ruins on the nearby mountains.

These architectural ruins are scattered and crooked, as if they were crushed together with the earth.

Wind and mountain torrents brought soil to this depression. Although the soil layer is too thin to grow large trees that several people can hug, various herbs and shrubs can be seen everywhere.

Especially vines.

Even Orlan, who had the "most knowledge of biology" among the group, couldn't tell the species of this vine, let alone the others.

The vines here are incredibly vigorous, and their growth ability is simply ridiculous. The vines grow and spread wildly, combining with small trees, shrubs, and even the remains of ancient buildings to form a strong net about six or seven meters above the ground.

This large green net almost covers the entire depression, dividing it into two distinct layers.
