Chapter 222 Pheromone Concentration
Although it has only been a few months since he was officially promoted to five-star level, Julius is already considered the best among five-star hunters in terms of both technical and equipment levels.
Just being under the heavy beetle, withstanding the continuous attacks from its hammer-shaped legs and round-moon tail pincers, and turning around calmly like a walk made even the petite Pork Chop feel inferior.
Not to mention that he can always accurately seize the short gaps between monster attacks and launch swift counterattacks.
It seems thrilling, but it never fails.
This has nothing to do with luck, but with real skills and strength.
Swinging his two swords and once again leaving several staggered wounds on the heavy beetle's soft abdomen, Julius quickly retreated, avoiding the former's foot attacks.
The lightning attribute damage attached to the execution saw is not very effective against the heavy beetle, but the high-speed rotating saw blade still causes it severe pain.
It hissed, exerted force on its hind limbs, and slammed its heavy body forward, but was once again dodged by the dual-sword user with a sliding movement.
The heavy beetle became angry. It raised its body and opened the special glands in its abdomen.
Julius, who had seen it once before, knew that the heavy beetle was planning to release pheromones and forcefully summon the beetle, so he rushed forward to try to interrupt.
Unfortunately, it was a step too late. The foul-smelling gas spurted out, blowing the dual-sword user away, and at the same time, the pheromones spread rapidly.
On the other side, Gordon, who was chasing the beetle slasher, noticed that the former's movements suddenly stopped, and he immediately understood what happened.
Again? !
He cursed secretly in his heart, took half a step back, and immediately started preparing to charge up his sword.
Under the continuous fire of fire bombs, the charging speed of the Thor Beetle, whose wings were seriously damaged, was not as fast as the previous one. When it passed in front of Gordon, the three-stage charged slash was released just in time.
The Exploding Knife Kai tore through the air and slashed hard at the beetle's side, opening a horrific wound that could almost see the internal organs.
Toru Beetle's body shook suddenly and almost fell from the air.
However, the effect of the pheromone made it ignore the pain. After adjusting its flying attitude, it continued to fly straight towards the heavy beetle.
Reluctantly, Gordon put away his sword for the second time and ran after the beetle.
When he thought that he might have to experience the same thing two or three more times, his liver ached.
Nadia was still shooting, trying to shoot down the Thor Beetle before it reached the Heavy Beetle.
But this guy looked seriously injured, but he just managed to fly to the side of the heavy beetle, and was about to land on the heavy beetle to complete the combination.
Just when the hunters were having a headache, Pig Chop, who had been wandering around the monster but had never been able to find any chance, jumped out.
A small flash bomb was thrown in front of the heavy beetle.
Bright light blooms.
The sudden light deprived the heavy beetle of its vision. This unprecedented experience made it panic, dizzy and shaking, making it difficult to complete the docking with the beetle that had lost its thinking ability.
“Beautiful! Pork chop!”
Gordon cheered and quickened his pace again.
He chased until he tried to land on the heavy beetle, but because of the latter's dizziness and movement, he fell behind the beetle on the ground and began to prepare for the true charged attack.
Julius also activated his ghost transformation, ran over at full speed, and used a super-speed ghost dance at the somewhat stupid Toru Beetle.
The fragile cephalothorax of the beetle was chopped messily by Julius's execution saw. The golden electric current was introduced into its body along the blade, continuously destroying its muscles and nerves, making its movements further Stiff.
What really had the final say was Gordon's True Charged Slash.
Carrying the strength that Gordon had accumulated to the limit, the steel blade fell heavily and directly cut open the scarred soft abdomen of the beetle.
Messy internal organs and dark green body fluids were flowing all over the place.
The beetle's body twitched violently for a while, and finally fell down stiffly.
The third one!
It was not until the beetle was completely dead that the heavy beetle was finally freed from the blinding effect caused by the flash bomb.
Of course it doesn't feel sad or anything like that, it just feels extremely angry.
The relatively simple thinking of beetle creatures makes them behave very stubbornly. After screaming at the hunters for a while, they start to release pheromones gas again to summon the beetles.
The hunters did not disturb it as usual, and Gordon even secretly took out the whetstone and sharpened the knife
However, a few seconds later, Julius discovered something unusual.
Did this guy release too much stinky pheromones this time?
"Something's wrong."
Julius muttered to himself, then suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Nadia! Cut it off!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three fire bombs roared in one after another, accurately hitting the glands where the beetle releases odor. The explosive flames made the heavy beetle scream.
However, it was too late.
A sharp hum sounded in the distance, approaching here at an extremely fast speed.
It was a beetle sprinting with all its might and flying at full speed.
Gordon and Nadia tried to intercept, but were unable to do so. From the dull but crazy action pattern of this pure beetle, it can be seen that it has completely fallen into the control of the heavy beetle.
The hunters finally knew why the heavy beetle released pheromone gas for an extra long time this time.
Whether a beetle is “attracted” or “controlled” seems to be determined by the concentration of pheromones in the air.
The long-term release of pheromone gas causes the pheromone concentration in the nearby area to rise directly to the "control" level.
Therefore, as soon as this beetle came nearby, it immediately rushed over like crazy.
Pork Chop throws flash bombs again, trying to prevent the fusion of Thor Beetle and Heavy Beetle.
However, I don’t know if the heavy beetle was prepared, or if it was simply lucky. The small, shield-like legs that grew near its face, and were used to protect the vital parts of its head and face, happened to close up and block the strong light.
The Thor Beetle was somewhat affected, and the landing position was a little off. The Heavy Beetle clamped it with its full moon tail pliers and pressed it hard on its back.
The two complete the combination.
“Tsk, trouble.”
Gordon looked at Julius, "Can we do that back-rubbing move again? Do I lead them to the slope?"
Julius pursed his lips, "No, the one before The beetle has been seriously injured, so I can use the ground He circled his back and killed it.
The beetle was almost in full strength, and the heavy beetle was on guard again, so that move was useless."
"That's all I can do. Let Miss Sagittarius grind it slowly," Gordon said helplessly.
The thru beetle lying on the back of the heavy beetle was too high, and he and Julius had nothing to do with the latter.
"Well, let's draw the attention of the heavy beetle and create a shooting opportunity for Nadia."
The two swordsmen separated again and double-teamed the opponent from different directions.
Nadia also started running. Sports shooting is her strength. Although the standing output is comfortable, it is too dangerous in front of the heavy beetle with water cannon breath.
Faced with three people and one cat acting separately, the heavy beetle hesitated for a moment, and finally locked on the largest one with the brightest "carapace" color.
Looking at the menacing heavy beetle charging towards him, Gordon cursed.
"Why is it me again?" (End of Chapter)
