Monster Hunter: Wild Pointer

Everyone likes to see something different!

The moment the iron fence rose, Orlan and Muti rushed out at the same time as the rapid ringing of the bell signaled the start of the fight.

They all had the same idea, to gain even just one second and get to the prey first!

At the same time, at the other end of the arena, the iron gate that imprisoned the monster was opened.

Two strange flying dragons, each over ten meters long and with pale and smooth skin, were freed from their respective cages.

Unlike the mighty and ferocious flying dragon that ordinary people imagine, this monster gives people a more horrifying and disgusting first impression.

They don't have the iconic shells, scales, and claws of flying dragons, nor do they have eyes. Even the location of their heads is unclear. Only the bloody mouth at the front of the neck, which is full of triangular sharp teeth and opens like a crack, proves that this is the head.

All this makes this flying dragon monster, whose scientific name is "Fru-Fru (strange dragon, white lightning dragon)", look like a leech worm with wings and legs, which is fat and astonishingly large.

If it weren't in the arena, it would be very normal for ordinary people to scream in fear or even faint on the spot when seeing such a monster.

Of course, the hunters are not afraid, they are only worried that their steps are not fast enough.

In terms of speed, Olan, as a katana user, has an absolute advantage.

The strange dragon that was his opponent had just stepped out of the cage and was sniffing around, judging the surrounding situation, when Orlan rushed in front of him.

The strange dragons, whose main habitat is dark caves, have long lost their eyesight and have almost no vision. However, their extremely keen sense of smell and special bioelectric perception help them detect the arrival of the enemy in the first place.

It contracted its neck and took a deep breath.

Entering the attack range, drawing his sword, and preparing to use a step forward to slash for a "classic opening", Orlan quickly changed his actions.

He took off the scabbard and held it diagonally at his waist, lowering his center of gravity. At the same time, he flipped his wrist, and the bone knife [Wolf Fang] that had just been out of the scabbard for less than a second was put back into the scabbard.

Calmly watching every move of the monster in front of you.

"The naked eye can deceive you, but the mind's eye won't. Use your spirit to lock onto your opponent's aura." Amos's teachings echoed in his mind.

It's now!

At the moment when the strange dragon opened its bloody mouth and a deafening roar swept out, the hunter drew his sharp blade, and the flash of the sword seemed to cut through the sound waves.

With his mind extremely focused, he ignored the loud noise that almost ruptured his eardrums. He turned around and slashed with the sharp blade, cutting a narrow bloody hole under the neck of the strange dragon head.

The strange dragon had no scales or shell, and the sword blade felt soft but tough when it entered the flesh. The cut was not very deep, but the timing was indeed clever.

Driven by the Qi, the sword energy condensed rapidly and his momentum increased accordingly.

The moment the strange dragon roared, its vital parts were slashed, which not only interrupted its roar, but also made it subconsciously shrink its neck, revealing a small flaw.

good chance.

Aolan took a half step back, and the sword that was originally held horizontally was slowly raised upright. After turning 180 degrees, it finally turned into a strange posture of holding it with both hands backwards, with the tip of the sword pointing backwards.

At the same time, his muscles tensed, his sword energy condensed, and his strength accumulated.

The sword users in the stands, or the hunters who had a deeper understanding of the sword, all showed surprise and focused their attention.

Is this some kind of move I haven't seen before?

Haifa, who had followed Amos and the others to watch the battle, couldn't help but smack his lips.

She and Karin saw more than the others due to their knowledge of Oran's gifts.

From this move, they saw the shadow of the greatsword charging technique, and the movement of the sword pointing backward was also quite similar to the strong charging slash.

The strange dragon shook its head, and its neck, which looked short and thick but was actually very elastic and flexible, suddenly stretched out and bit the hunter in front of it.

At the same time, after completing the accumulation of power and the concentration of sword energy, Orlan rushed out, turned around and swung his sword, slashing out a perfect arc of light.

The head of the strange dragon stretched out its arms to bite it, and the next second, a huge wound was opened on the side of the strange dragon's neck, and a large amount of blood gushed out.

In the stands, the sword masters who noticed this scene couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and some even stood up.

After some sort of charging posture, he immediately launched a massive spin of Qi Blade?!

The young hunter on the battlefield naturally could not hear their surprise and questions. The monster's blood dyed his armor red, his sword energy surged, and his momentum rose again.

Orlan grinned.

If it was a normal cooperative hunt, he would leave the front battlefield to Muti and go around to the back or side of the monster to conduct guerrilla warfare.

But now we are fighting alone, and there is no chance of defeating that guy without taking some risks.

Facing the aggressive strange dragon, Orlan swung his sword and transformed into a demon.

Chapter 158 This is the Tachi!

Muti ran forward with all his might.

Due to the existence of the iron fence, she could not see clearly the situation in the next field, but from the roar of the strange dragon on the opposite side, which was just interrupted, she could judge that the battle had already started on Orlan's side.

And I'm still 20 to 30 meters behind my opponent. Damn it! I need to practice running more when I get a chance!

Muti gritted his teeth and continued to charge.

She was lucky, as the short roar of the strange dragon in the next field attracted the attention of the strange dragon on her side.

It turned its head and looked over there, but did not attack immediately, nor did it make a demonstrative roar.

Muti took this opportunity to successfully get close to the strange dragon.

She really wanted to do the same as she did when she fought against the giant bird before, starting with a sonic boom bomb to stun the prey and then firing a dragon-killing cannon to take the lead.

Then they fired all the gun bullets, dragon cannons, etc. in one breath. Through this explosive attack, they could instantly suppress the opponent and seize the initiative.

However, sonic boom bombs have little effect on the strange dragon. This monster is very sensitive to vibrations but is not afraid of high-frequency noise.

Forget about the flashbang, this guy doesn't even have eyes.

There was no way to take shortcuts, so she could only use the most direct method - get close to the monster and then swing her weapon to chop it!

"Hah!" Muti rushed to the front of the monster and took the initiative to strike down with all his strength at the strange dragon's head.

The strange dragon, whose attention was distracted by the cries of its own kind, came to its senses. It retracted its head and tried to dodge, but it was still a step too slow and was hit by the blade at the tip of the gunpowder.

It was unclear whether the cut was on the forehead or the upper jaw.

This angered the strange dragon. It twisted its neck and raised it up, dodging the hunter's subsequent horizontal attack with a flexibility that was difficult for vertebrates to achieve. Then it suddenly leaned forward and bit.

The ultra-high-intensity training that had nearly exhausted her to death over the past month had finally paid off.

What Muti was thinking about was getting closer to him and finding a chance to hit him hard, but his body moved on its own as if by reflex.

Her waist sank, and her center of gravity, which had been slightly scattered due to the missed attack, stabilized instantly. She bent her legs slightly, firmly rooted to the ground like the roots of a big tree, and slightly raised the large shield in her right hand.

"boom!"

The strange dragon felt like it was biting into a rock wall. Its mouthful of triangular sharp teeth scraped against the shield with a "crunching" sound, but it could never break through the protection of the large shield.

good chance!

Muti's eyes lit up slightly. While trying his best to stabilize his center of gravity and maintain a defensive posture, he held the rifle horizontally and pulled the trigger of the dragon cannon.

After a brief two-second buildup of momentum, a blazing flame exploded. The powerful impact caused the strange dragon's head to tilt back, causing it to stagger backwards, revealing an obvious flaw.

Under the huge recoil, Muti slid back several meters without having time to stand firm. He rushed forward at the fastest speed and was close to the strange dragon head in a blink of an eye.

While her prey was still recovering from the heavy blow from the dragon cannon, she roared, swung her gunlance, and attacked with all her might.

The other side of the arena.

Hearing the roar of the dragon-strike cannon and the iconic "Haaaaaaah!" roar, Orlan knew that the guy was launching a suppressive attack.

The strange dragon is not a monster that excels in defense. It is unlikely that Muti can defeat it directly with his attack, but it will definitely cause serious damage to it.

We must also speed up the offensive pace.

Aolan, who had transformed into a demon, flashed in front of the strange dragon's head and started to slash with the red blade, which had the fastest sword speed.

The upward and vertical sword strokes completely overlapped, and only a very few people in the stands realized that this was not a single sword strike, but two sword strikes with a very short interval.

Following closely behind is the Air Blade Kasaya Slash. As the starting sword style of the Air Blade Slash, the power of this sword may not be strong, but the speed is equally fast, and the connection with the Red Blade Slash is almost seamless.

Three consecutive sword strikes were released in less than two seconds, cutting three intersecting wounds on the side of the strange dragon's head.

Compared to the second and third stages of the Red Blade Slash that were carefully designed and repeatedly improved by Amos, Orlan still prefers this small combo of Red Blade Slash followed by Air Blade Cassock Slash that he accidentally discovered while hunting strange monkeys and foxes.

The power of each sword can only be said to be average, but the attack speed is amazing. More importantly, it can condense sword energy with amazing efficiency to achieve the effect of rapid blade sharpening.

In just a few seconds, several wounds appeared on the strange dragon's head and neck.

“Gayaya——”

The strange dragon roared angrily, and its short and thick neck, which was originally only two or three meters long, suddenly extended three or four times longer, like a flexible and soft whip, sweeping across and lashing at the hunter in front of it.

Huali in the stands was nervous, and when she saw this scene, she almost couldn't help but stand up.

Orlan's attack method of turning into a demon and rushing to the monster to launch a high-speed combo is full of the feeling of demons dancing wildly.

As a dual-sword wielder, she is well aware of the dangers of wild dancing.

You know, high-speed, frenzied attack movements are not so easy to interrupt, and there are countless examples of dual-sword users being injured or even sacrificed as a result.

But the next second she found that her worries seemed unnecessary.

The small combo of Red Blade Slash followed by Air Blade Kasaya Slash can easily give people the wrong impression of being a continuous sword move similar to Ranbu because of its continuous movements and extremely high attack speed.

But in fact, these are two completely independent moves. In the ghost-like state, the speed of performing a single move is less than one second, and the flaws are extremely small.

This is another important reason why Orlan is fond of this small combo.

The moment the strange dragon stretched its neck and was about to attack, he had already interrupted the combo and even left half a second to make a judgment.

When fully extended, the length of the strange dragon's neck can be close to or even exceed its original body length, which is nearly ten meters.

It was almost impossible to create a sufficient distance by retreating in such a short response time, so Orlan chose to release his demon transformation, roll forward, and get close to his chest and abdomen.

You wonder why no matter how soft a dragon's neck is, the part where its shoulders and neck meet can't touch the ground?

His judgment was correct.

Olang dodged the strange dragon's neck-swinging attack, and while rising, he raised his sword and delivered a powerful blow that looked familiar to the greatsword users.

“Ah ...

The strange dragon, whose signature attack missed and who had been slashed back with a sword, roared furiously and lay down as if it wanted to crush the hunter to death.

Orlan anticipated this and immediately turned around and stepped back, avoiding the attack of the strange dragon.

While keeping a little distance, he also noticed that the end of the strange dragon's originally bare tail suddenly opened and connected to the ground like a suction cup.

Having learned about the ecological intelligence of the strange dragon in advance, he knew that this was a precursor to the former's discharge attack, and there would be a short period of charging delay before the discharge actually began.

If it were him more than a month ago, keeping distance would be the only option at this moment, but now that his swordsmanship has greatly improved, he is confident that he can make a better response!

After seeing the sword, there was no pause in the movement. The taut muscles in the legs transformed the backward inertia into forward momentum like springs.

Seizing the most dangerous moment, he rushed forward, and the sword in his hand was like the fangs of a poisonous snake that suddenly attacked, opening a wound in the throat of the strange dragon.

See through the slash!

The unexpected counterattack caused a very short delay in the strange dragon's discharge action. Without any hesitation, Orlan kicked back and rolled at the fastest speed.

Almost at the same time, bright blue arcs of electricity erupted from the strange dragon, crackling and covering the area where he had been standing the moment before.

Even a moment later, he would be seriously injured instantly.

This extreme counterattack, like dancing on the tip of a knife, brought Orlan's momentum to the limit.

After completing the dodge without any danger, Orlan quickly stood up, folded his hands, turned the blade and pointed it straight forward, his eyes and aura firmly locked on the strange dragon that was continuously discharging electricity.

Lower your center of gravity, bend your legs, and get ready to go.

The flickering bright blue electric light was the best attack signal. When the discharge stopped and the strange dragon stood up tiredly, Orlan turned into an afterimage and suddenly stabbed forward with the sword in his hand.

The sword pierced deeply into the strange dragon's chest, but his attack was not over yet.

Taking advantage of the inertia of the forward rush and the leverage of the sword, Orlan leaped up and landed in mid-air above the strange dragon's head.

His body flipped in the air, adjusting his posture, and all the sword energy that had been accumulated, refined, and condensed since the beginning of the battle was injected into the sword blade.

A crimson blade of air appeared on the originally dull bone sword blade, and as the sword slashed down, a solid and lasting blade light was left in the air.

Climb the dragon and cut with the air blade!
