Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter Chapter 989

Chapter 989 Gale's Negotiation Skills

  (Today is still the first update orz. I am on the way but I am back. I should be able to resume normal updates starting tomorrow)

Gail has no objection to Hayata's decision. This is the most reasonable choice.

But wandering around in the area where an unknown high-danger monster is active is risky, so she took aim at these two local cats.

“Brother, ask them if they can show us the way.”

 After Sandstone conveyed Gale's meaning to the two Deters, they shook their heads rapidly.

Detel, who belongs to the playing family, has a gentle personality and loves music. At best, he is a pacifist who does not like fighting, and at worst, he is a group of cowards.

That monster is much scarier than Sakura Fire Dragon.

It is true that the Sakura Fire Dragon is very powerful, but a creature of the size of Detel is not on its diet. As long as it does not seek death and runs into the dragon's lair, there is generally no danger.

 But that monster was different. It had already killed and devoured several of their tribesmen.

 They can't even run away, so how can they dare to take the initiative to approach?

“Tell them that we are willing to provide them with food as payment.” Gale tried to induce.

 However, this almost invincible move against the orcs actually failed.

The two Detel said that they played a group with no shortage of food, whether it was coral polyp eggs, barnacles or swaying eels, they were all readily available delicacies.

 Don't try to tempt us with food, meow! (New World Orc language)

 Two deters akimbo.

Hayata knelt down and was about to persuade the two Detels with some words, assuring them that they would keep them safe.

 A loud bang of "Boom!" sounded.

Countless shrapnel sliced ​​off the tips of the Deters' ears and blasted the coral reefs behind them into pieces.

In addition to the amazing power of lv3 shotguns at close range, the noise when fired is also terrifying.

The timid Deter was so frightened that he rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot. The other one was also shocked and sat down on the ground.

Gail raised her ferocious-looking [Hell Country of Thorn Crown] (a Styracosaurus light crossbow, suitable for scattering), blew the smoke from the muzzle, "Let it reorganize its language."

  “.Meow meow meow meow!”

 Even without the sandstone translator, you can already tell what the Deter is saying by looking at the way it nods crazily.

　　"Isn't it enough if this was the case earlier? You still have your hands on your hips, you're used to it." Gale snorted coldly and put the ballista away.

 Hayata: "."

Subsequently, Gale used physical means to wake up the Deter that fainted from fright.

I saw the two Deters dodge their eyes, looking for an opportunity to slip away at any time.

She pointed to a coral rock a hundred meters away with a smile, then replaced it with a penetrating bullet, and the scope bolt collapsed with one shot.

 After this, the two detels, who were carrying musical instruments made of conch shells, immediately became extremely obedient.

 There is no need for anyone to rush you, just walk in front and lead the way obediently.

Whenever rare medicinal materials or food are picked up on the way, they will be brought to them eagerly and "offered" to Gale in a flattering manner.

Hayata didn't know for a moment whether she should talk about her or not. Considering that they really needed these two local guides at the moment, this might be the most direct way.

 With the two Deters from the playing group leading the way, Hayata and his party speeded up a lot.

They know exactly where the cliffs are easier to pass, where there are vines for easy climbing, and where there are shortcuts.

After marching like this for dozens of minutes, a putrid smell of blood came with the wind.

The two Deters suddenly slowed down, their ears kept turning, and they trembled at the slightest movement. They looked very scared, but they didn't dare to stop.

He could only keep turning his head and looking at Gale pitifully.

Gail curled his lips and dusted his hands like flies, "Let's go, let's go. Following the smell of blood, we can all walk through it ourselves."

 Two Deters were still hesitant.

Gail glared, "What are you doing? Do you want to stay and lead the charge?"

The two Deters looked at each other and after confirming that Gale really intended to let them go, they immediately got down on all fours and ran wildly.

 “Wait! Come back!” Gale shouted again.

The two Deters came to a sudden stop, trembling all over, and then came back.

“Just play with it, don't say I'm bullying you.” Gale threw them a flash bomb and a sonic bomb, and asked Sandstone to tell them how to use them. The Deters were a little surprised, looked at Gale cautiously, and left with three turns.

“Actually, we can let them go later, meow.” Sandstone whispered.

It has no dissatisfaction with Gale's way of doing things. In the wild, it is natural for the weak to obey the orders of the strong.

“The wind players are very timid, but I heard that they have mastered the playing skills that can stimulate the potential of useful instruments, which is not suitable for me, but Xianglan can learn it.”

"Uh, like this?" Gale scratched his chin, "This time is not the right time. I will catch it next time I have a chance and let it teach Pandan."

 “Good meow, good meow!”

“You can use a gentler approach next time.” Hayata reminded with a headache, “Okay, we should be very close to the body of the fire dragon, and the monster is probably also nearby.

 Get ready for battle, I am in front of Gale and behind, pay attention to the sides and top of Pandan Sandstone. "

 The team changed their formation and moved forward slowly.

As the smell of decaying corpses became stronger, the hunters also put on invisibility cloaks, and then moved forward stealthily under the cover of rocks and a small amount of vegetation.

 Finally, they saw the Sakura Fire Dragon.

   To be precise, it is the remaining corpse of the Sakura Fire Dragon.

 Its belly has been hollowed out, and all the soft and nutritious internal organs have been eaten.

Other parts of the body are relatively tough and difficult to chew due to the presence of scaly carapace, so they are relatively well preserved.

　　At least it's confirmed that it's not a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The eating method of the Tyrannosaurus Rex is not so particular.

Hayata ordered Gale and two cats to guard the surrounding area, then came to the body and endured the pungent stench to inspect the body.

 The death time has been relatively long. Considering the temperature and humidity here, it should be between a week and ten days.

 The fatal injury was on the head and neck. The Sakura Fire Dragon was bitten on the throat and suffocated to death.

In addition, there are many bite marks and claw marks on Sakura Fire Dragon's body. Judging from the size of these marks, the monster should not be too big, but the wounds are quite deep.

　　It is not like a sharp object scratching the cut, but like a hook tearing it apart.

"This is."

Hayata leaned close to the fatal bite mark on her neck. The scales on the edge of the bite mark turned black. She didn't pay much attention to this at first. After all, it was normal for the wound around a decaying corpse to turn black.

 But if you look closely, you will find something strange. It is not the skin and flesh that are blackened, but the scales.

 Hornous scales do not decay so quickly.

Hayata pulled out the peeling knife and touched the scales, and found that the scales seemed to have been corroded and became very loose.

 She re-examined the other wounds, and sure enough, almost all bite marks had similar conditions.

"No wonder, with the strength of Sakura Fire Dragon's scales, it can bite so deep. Are the scales corroded by acid? It doesn't look like it. It feels more brittle and more like dragon energy?" Hayata said to himself With.

“A monster that can attach dragon energy to its teeth?”

Several possibilities flashed through Hayata's mind.

Without considering the ancient dragon species and unknown types of monsters, there should be two types of monsters that can bite the opponent and corrode it with dragon-type energy at the same time.

Dinosaur, and Hellwolf.

The possibility of Tyrannosaurus Rex has long been ruled out.

 The Prison Wolf Dragon? That kind of monster does have the ability to hunt Sakura Fire Dragon, and its dragon-type energy attacks are also very restrained against the Fire Dragon family.

But for the Hell Wolf Dragon, the size of these wounds seems a bit smaller, and with the strength of the Hell Wolf Dragon, the fractured bones of the Sakura Fire Dragon should be much more serious.

It can't be a prison wolf dragon whose head hasn't grown yet, right?

Hayata frowned and thought.

At this moment, an extremely sharp sense of threat came over.

 “Bang! Bang!”

 “Above! Watch out!” Gale's warning sounded together with the sound of ballistae firing.

On the cliff on the side, a dark blue ferocious beast with terrifying claws and fangs pounced straight down.
