MTL - Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter-Chapter 766 long wait

  Chapter 766 Waiting for a long time

  The Taidao once again clashed with the wing blade, and after deflecting and unloading the attack of Yue Xunlong, Hayata had some confidence in his mind.

  As a rare species of Xunlong, the advantages of Yuexunlong are mainly reflected in the invisible ability of stealth, and the fur and carapace that is far tougher than the original species.

  With the sharpness of her night knife [Moon Shadow] white slashing taste, she couldn't break through the defense of Yue Xunlong's forelimbs smoothly, and almost missed the knife.

  In comparison, the strength of Yue Xunlong can only be said to be quite satisfactory, perhaps stronger than the original Xunlong, but it is also limited.

   This is great news.

  Tachi is a purely offensive weapon. It does not have a shield like a lance or a long spear, nor can it block defense like a big sword.

  Facing the monster's attack, there are only two options: dodge and parry.

  If the opponent's prey is too strong, it will not be so easy to use the light and slender blade of the Taidao to deflect the attack. If you can only dodge, you will have too few tactical options.

   Now, maybe you can choose to fight head-to-head, which can create a better attack window for the two shooters.

   Slashed two swords quickly, leaving two different non-itchy wounds on Yue Xunlong's head, Hayata slowed down his attack and was not greedy for swords.

  Seeing that the muscles of Yue Xunlong's forelimbs were tense, she stepped forward immediately, and retreated three or four meters in a flash as if a spring was added to her feet.

   After Yi Jianqie avoided Yue Xunlong's slap, she didn't pause at all, and fought back with a sharp blade.

  Tachi and Yue Xunlong's sharp claws clashed together.

  Upward swing is not a suitable action for exerting strength. Although this sword is abrupt and sharp, it cannot match the sharp claws that are swung fiercely. The strength of Yuexunlong's attack obviously has the upper hand.

  Tachi was slapped away by it, but it didn't get in the way.

  This kind of head-to-head battle made Hayata's momentum rise rapidly.

  Yue Xunlong, who was extremely sensitive, noticed this, and was shocked. This monster, which was cunning and cautious by nature, did not choose to chase after it, but jumped sideways.

  The faint blue body is like salt sprinkled into the water, blending into the moonlight and mist, and disappearing.

  Hayatta, who lost his opponent just after his momentum was raised, was interrupted, which was very uncomfortable.

  She knew that the Yue Xunlong hadn't left yet, but was hiding in the mist, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time, so she sheathed the knife and settled in, raising her spirits to be vigilant for possible attacks at any time.

"seven o 'clock!"

  Gail's reminder sounded suddenly, along with the roar of a series of crossbow shells.

  Hayata turned around quickly, and an invisible figure emerged from the mist and rushed towards her.

  She didn't dodge or dodge, but strode forward, turning around and swinging her blade to meet the attack.

  Iai!

The two passed by each other, and as Hayata turned around and rushed forward, Yue Xunlong's wing blade landed in the air, and the sword wrapped in the lingering sword energy cut a large piece of fine meat on the soft flesh of its waist. Knife marks.

   "Wow~!" Gail let out a strange cry that might be admiration, and at the same time quickly turned the muzzle.

  Yue Xunlong, who was injured in the waist and jumped into the air, staggered to the ground. This opening was very short, but it was enough for an excellent shooter.

A series of penetrating bullets fell on Yue Xunlong's head like a torrential rain. The wounds caused by these crossbow bullets were not large, but very, very deep. The sharp cone-shaped bullets were stuck deep in the muscles and even on the bones, causing Yue Xunlong to howl in pain Again and again.

  At the same time, an arrow as thick as a short spear struck from the darkness.

   With the help of gunpowder, Long Zhiya made a sharp whistling sound, and penetrated deep into the soft part of Yuexunlong's flank that was not covered by carapace bristles.

  The one-meter-long arrow body was almost completely submerged.

   "Gaaaaaaaaah-!"

   "Wow, that's a terrible cry." Feng Ying looked back, "So don't mess with women, especially huntresses."

  Anshir glanced at her.

   This is said as if you are not a woman or a hunter.

   "Concentrate, we are approaching the ancient tower." Gordon, who was running at the front of the team, reminded.

  Fengying quickly withdrew her attention from the distant battlefield and became vigilant around her.

  The so-called ancient pagoda relics are not just a single tower, but a group of relics covering an area of ​​several square kilometers.

  The area where Hayata and the others fought was on the outskirts of the ruins.

  In addition to the ancient pagoda located in the central area, there are also a large number of ancient architectural remnants like stone pillars, giant stone gates, and stone bridges in the ruins.

   It is hard to guess what kind of place this was during the ancient civilization.

  The ancient pagoda was already in sight, and it wasn't until now that the hunters realized how huge this ruin was.

   Not to mention the top of the tower, which is so deep into the clouds that you can’t see the side when you look up, it would probably take a lot of time to run around the bottom of the tower.

  Gordon raised a fist suddenly, and the team of three stopped.

   "Stay alert and take a break." Gordon looked up at this ancient giant tower that couldn't be built with today's technology, and the oppressive feeling in his heart was indescribable.

   What kind of existence lives here?

  Although he was depressed, the reason Gordon stopped was not because of this.

  He came to a broken stone pillar near the entrance of the ancient pagoda, on which there was a message left by pork chop with charcoal pencil.

  Anshir also noticed this, but he didn't hurry to get close to it. Instead, he followed Fengying, who was full of curiosity, and guarded his surroundings.

   Soon, Gordon came back with a slightly weird expression.

   "What's the situation?" Anshir asked.

   "Pig Chop said that he saw a unicorn on the ground floor, which means don't enter directly from the entrance on the ground floor, but walk around the stone steps outside."

   "Kirin?!"

  Anshir showed astonishment, "There is a unicorn on the first floor? Then what kind of ghosts will be on it?"

"have no idea."

  Gordon looked up again, looking at the ancient tower.

  The ancient pagoda is built on a very huge, layered foundation stone platform. There is an entrance at the bottom of the stone platform, which can be directly entered, or climbed up the stone platform through steps, and cross the bottom layer built inside the stone platform.

   "Are you sure it's the message left by the pork chop?" Due to all the things that happened before, Anshir seemed a little suspicious.

   "Well, I can still read its handwriting, and a sticky cat face is drawn at the end, which is its customary signature."

"good."

  Anshir watched the entrance of the black hole at the bottom of the stone platform vigilantly, for fear that a few thunderbolts would burst out suddenly.

   "Come on, let's climb the stairs, we'll talk on the stone platform, stay alert."

  Having made up his mind, Gordon stopped dawdling, and led his companions away from the entrance at the bottom of the stone platform, stepped on the slippery stone steps covered with moss, and climbed up step by step.

  The stone platform serving as the base of the ancient pagoda occupies a large area, but its height is not too exaggerated, nor steep. After a few minutes, the hunters came to the top of the stone platform.

   Knowing that there are unicorns nearby, the hunters are very nervous.

   Gordon, who was the first to come to the top of the stone platform, looked around, trying to find the entrance of the ancient pagoda as soon as possible and enter it, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

   Then his expression froze.

  On the stone platform, a purple-black monster with a chilly air all over his body was standing there quietly, staring at them with pure red pupils, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
