Chapter 218 Rocket Meow
Since the shooter teammate he cooperated with this time was not Ancil who likes to shoot with bullets, Gordon paid more attention to avoiding the shooting boundary.
Try to stay out of the muzzle of the gun and form a three-point-and-one-line line between the monsters.
But he soon discovered that it didn't seem necessary.
Although his fighting style is different from Ancil's, Nadia's shooting skills are also very superb.
The former is accustomed to staying in one shooting position for a long time, using high-precision sniping to provide seemingly dangerous precision support.
The latter relies on the mobility of the light ballista to frequently move positions, looking for angles and opportunities to launch attacks.
Julius was about to emerge from the ghost-man dance of afterimages. Even if Ancil came, he was not sure of wiping the bullet, so Nadia adopted another form of support.
Due to the limitation of stamina, it is impossible for the ghost dance to last for a long time. Whenever Julius's attack is delayed, her shooting will appear from the side to fill the gap.
With the tacit cooperation between the two, the offensive continued.
No wonder she was spotted by that arrogant Julius and became a regular teammate. The strength and talent of this young female shooter are at the top level.
Such an analysis also relieved a long-standing doubt in Gordon's mind.
Ancil and Julius, who have known each other for a long time and became famous together and were even called the "Twin Stars", why didn't they form a partnership?
Julius is obviously not the kind of person who is timid and doesn't trust his teammates.
It turned out that it was not a messy reason such as personality disharmony, but simply a mismatch between the two's fighting styles.
——The ghost man was dancing around and couldn't clear the bullet. Carrying the heavy crossbow, Ancil couldn't move around with the flexible Julius.
When Julius and Nadia completed a set of coordination, Gordon finally rushed to the beetle.
Noticing the latter's approach from the corner of his eye, Julius immediately adjusted his position sideways.
Due to the previous high-speed combo, Toru Beetle, whose attention had long been firmly attracted by the Dual Sword User, began to follow him and turned around, ignoring the Great Sword User coming from behind.
Gordon smiled, Tieshan passed the stage of charged slash and strong charged cut, and directly began to prepare the true charged cut with the largest attack range and power.
"Drink."
Exhale and exert force, and release the true charged slash completed at the fastest speed.
In front of the Explosive Knife Kai, hunting a Toru Beetle carapace with a danger level of only two stars alone is not considered strong.
The steel claws successfully broke through the carapace on its back, and before it had time to react, a surprisingly powerful second slash came roaring out.
The hook-shaped blade was embedded deeply into the beetle's body. As the sword continued to be dragged, the carapace and flesh were instantly shattered.
"Zhizhi——"
The beetle's mouthparts trembled and made a harsh sound.
The important muscle groups on its back were damaged, and its flight movements were also affected to some extent. The body, which was considered very large among insects, tilted to one side, but it still turned to Gordon persistently.
The sickle-shaped forelimbs slashed at the hunter in front of it.
In the crustacean's uncomplicated thinking, whose attack hurts it more is a greater threat.
Gordon knew very well that there was no need for him to take the risk of attacking the beetle at the moment, he could just attract the prey's attention.
Block with sword, defensive posture!
The attack power of the scythe wielded by the Toru Beetle can only be said to be average. Several consecutive attacks failed to break Gordon's defense, and only a few sparks were thrown on the thick surface of the Explosive Knife.
“Beautiful.”
Julius, who was behind the beetle, lightly praised and entered the ghost-like state again.
The ghosts are dancing wildly!
Carapace, green blood, and insect wing fragments were scattered in all directions.
The Thor Beetle, whose wings were damaged again, could no longer maintain its flying posture and fell from the air.
The high-speed trembling remaining wings repeatedly slapped the ground, splashing earth and rocks. It still looked very energetic, but the hunters all knew that it no longer had the ability to resist.
"Nadia, save your ammunition, Gordon, we'll fight this quickly."
The hunting process of the first thug beetle went surprisingly smoothly.
The pork chop didn’t even find a chance to make a move.
Before the sun began to set, they completed hunting and stripping, and returned to the camp with the "horns of the beetle".
Of course they also knew that this time it was mainly due to luck that they encountered a lone Thor Beetle, while the really dangerous Heavy Beetle was not nearby.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to achieve this feeling of being crushed throughout.
After returning to the camp and taking a short rest, a few people built a campfire, took out food and chatted while eating.
"Tell me, is it possible for us to change our strategy."
Nadia held the food in her mouth, disassembled and inspected the light crossbow fire dragon cannon, and suggested: "Use dye After marking the heavy beetle, we walked around it while hunting for the lone beetle."
Julius thought carefully about the idea of the light crossbow user and shook his head.
“I don’t think it’s feasible. Today we were able to find this beetle only through the nose of the pig chop, and found the remains left by the beetle’s predation.
If other beetles haven't eaten for a short period of time, how do we determine their location? ”
“Yes. "Nadia nodded and no longer bothered about changing her strategy.
As Julius said, beetles are good at flying and rarely leave traces of their whereabouts except for hunting.
On weekdays The skills of the hunters in tracking monster tracks are almost completely useless at this time. In this case, it is better to surround the heavy beetles and wait for the pier beetles to come one by one.
They also discussed the attack movements of the pier beetles. .
The Toru Beetle just now was unable to perform the straight-line collision that the Toru Beetle is famous for because it was suppressed throughout the entire process. Julius emphatically reminded Nadia to be careful with this move.
He himself is flexible enough. Gordon has thick armor and is protected by a sword. Only Nadia, who looks like she is not wearing the armor, has the least room for error.
Even if the Toru Beetle is only a two-star danger level monster, if it is hit head-on, the best result is to be seriously injured.
After the discussion was almost complete, several people began to do their own things.
In fact, there is nothing else that hunters can do in the hunting camp, other than maintaining their weapons and checking their armor.
Whether it is Julius's chainsword-style double swords or Nadia's light crossbow, they are both very troublesome to maintain. Only Gordon's explosive knife Kai is the easiest to tinker with.
After carefully wiping the blood on the blade with a coarse cloth, apply oil on the blade again, and it's almost done.
Feeling a little idle, Gordon picked up the sharp horn of the beetle and looked around.
This insect horn is orange-red in color and is half a meter long. It is actually just the tip of the giant insect horn that accounts for almost half of the entire body length of the beetle.
It is as sharp as an awl, with a shiny and shiny surface unique to chitin, and is surprisingly light to hold.
Looking inside from the fracture, it is semi-hollow, but it is supported by a complex geometric structure. This may be the main reason why it is light and strong.
"Master wants to use this research to make cannonballs."
Gordon threw a sharp angle, "Aren't cannonballs generally round?"
Juliet Before Si could speak, Nadia, a shooter, spoke first, "Actually, it's just To solve the problem of shell roll, this cone-shaped shell has many advantages over spherical shells
Longer range, several times the armor-piercing ability, smaller caliber requirements, etc. Wait, look at crossbow bullets and arrows, aren’t they all pointed at the front?”
"That's it."
"I want to see it too! Show it to me, meow!" Pig Chop was also jumping to the side.
Gordon handed the sharp horn to it and asked curiously: "Will this also be helpful to your explosives research?"
"It's Meow!"
< br>The pork chop stuck its head into the sharp corner.
"I'm currently developing something called a 'rocket', meow!"
"?"

Ps.
The technology tree of Ellu (and the Strange Face Tribe of the New World) is full of a green-skin smell that "I'm thinking about". Especially the promotional video of MH3 or MH4 back then? That cat's nut spaceship really impressed me when we were fighting Dragon in the desert
