Chapter 218 Rocket Meow
Since the shooter teammate he collaborated with this time was not Anhill, 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 between the monsters, forming a three-point and one-line line.
But he soon discovered that it didn't seem necessary.
ˆAlthough her fighting style is different from Ancil's, Nadia's shooting skills are equally 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 relied 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 afterimage of the ghosts and men dancing wildly. Even Anhir came and was not sure of wiping the bullet, so Nadia adopted another form of support.
Due to the limitation of endurance, it is impossible for the Demon Dance to last for a long time. Whenever Julius's attack pauses, her shot 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.
Anhil 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 turns out that the reason is not some messy personality conflict, but simply that the combat styles of the two do not match each other.
The ghosts were dancing wildly and could not clear the bullets. Carrying a heavy crossbow, Ancil could not move around with the nimble 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, the 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 the Thor Beetle Carapace with only two stars in danger level alone is not considered strong.
The steel claws successfully broke through the carapace on its back, and before it had time to react, the second slash with astonishing power roared 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.
The beetle's mouthparts vibrate and make a harsh sound.
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 slash 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 confronting the beetle at the moment, he could just attract the prey's attention.
Block with a sword, defensive posture!
The attack power of the scythe wielded by the 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.
"pretty."
Julius behind the beetle gave a light praise and entered the ghost-human state again.
Ghosts and people are dancing wildly!
Carapace, green blood, and insect wing fragments were scattered in all directions.
The beetle, whose wings were damaged again, could no longer maintain its flying posture and fell from the air.
The remaining wings trembled at high speed and repeatedly beat 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 beetle was surprisingly smooth.
Before the sun began to set, they finished hunting and stripping, and returned to the camp with "the sharp horns of beetles".
Of course they also knew that this time it was mainly due to luck that they encountered a lone thru beetle, while the really dangerous heavy beetle was not nearby.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to achieve this feeling of being crushed all the way.
After returning to the camp and resting for a while, a few people built a campfire, took out food and ate and chatted.
“You tell me, is it possible for us to change our strategy?”
Nadia held the food in her mouth and while disassembling and inspecting the light crossbow and fire dragon cannon, she suggested: "After marking the heavy beetle with dye bombs, we will walk around it and hunt for the lone Thor beetle."
Julius thought carefully about Miss Light Crossbow Messenger's suggestion and shook his head.
“I don’t think it’s feasible. We were able to find this beetle today only through the nose of the pig chop, and we found the remains left by the beetle’s predation.
How do we determine where other beetles are if they do not eat for a short period of time? "
“Same.” Nadia nodded, no longer bothering to change her strategy.
As Julius said, beetles are good at flying and leave few traces of their whereabouts except for hunting.
Hunters' skills 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 thorough beetles to come one by one.
They also discussed the attack movements of the Formation Beetle.
The Thor Beetle just now was suppressed throughout the entire process and was unable to perform the straight-line collision that the Thor Beetle is famous for. Julius emphatically reminded Nadia to be careful with this move.
He himself is flexible enough. Gordon has thick armor and is protected by a big sword. Only Nadia, who looks like she is not wearing armor, has the least room for error.
Even if the Toru Beetle is only a two-star danger level monster, if it is hit by a head-on collision, 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 that's almost it.
Feeling a little idle, Gordon picked up the sharp horn of the beetle and looked around.
This horn is orange-red and about half a meter long. It is actually just the tip of the giant horn of the beetle, which accounts for almost half of the entire body length.
As sharp as an awl, the surface is shiny and shiny unique to chitin, and it 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 as cannonballs.”
Gordon pointed out, "Aren't cannonballs generally round?"
Before Julius could speak, Nadia, a shooter, spoke first, "Actually, as long as the problem of the roll of the cannonball can be solved, this cone-shaped cannonball has many advantages over the spherical cannonball.
Longer range, several times the armor-piercing ability, smaller caliber requirements, etc. Wait, look at crossbow shells and arrows, don’t they all have pointed front ends? "
"I see."
"I want to see it too! Show it to me, meow!" Pig Chop was also jumping to the side.
Gordon handed it the sharp horn and asked curiously: "Will this also be helpful to your research on explosives?"
“It’s meow!”
Pork Chop stuck its head into the sharp corner.
“I’m currently developing something called a ‘rocket’, meow!”

ˆPs.
The technology tree of Ellu (and the strange-faced tribe in the New World) is full of a green-skin flavor that "I am thinking about".
Especially the promotional video for MH3 or MH4 back then? That cat's nut spaceship in the desert where we were fighting Dragons really impressed me.
