Chapter 331 The ink-stained beast
An animal carcass was found.
Anhil first carefully checked every tree shadow around him, and after confirming that it was safe, he stepped lightly and approached cautiously.
He suddenly missed pork chops and amber.
Not only can he help in battle, but he is also a good hand in reconnaissance and vigilance.
At least I can have an extra pair of eyes to help me stare behind me.
Is it time for me to find a hunting cat or tooth hound companion?
Taking a breath and getting rid of distracting thoughts, Anhil carefully inspected the wreckage in front of him.
This is a male spiritual deer, the degree of decomposition is not high, it should have died in the past two days, the cause of death is.
“Is it really a velociraptor?”
Anhil pulled out two dark, arm-long thorns from the remains of the spirit deer. It was these two thorns that nailed the spirit deer to the ground.
Looking at the relatively complete skeleton of the wreckage, Anhil frowned.
A monster the size of a velociraptor, if it were to prey on a spirit deer, would have swallowed it in one bite instead of biting it bit by bit like this.
In other words, it was the Velociraptor that killed the spirit deer, but it did not eat it. The person who ate the spirit deer meat should be other scavengers wandering nearby, such as the dog dragon or the green bear beast.
“Killing just for fun? It’s really bad.”
Anhil threw away the thorns and continued to explore forward.
His tracking skills were learned from Gordon, and he was already quite outstanding among hunters, but he still didn't find any tracks.
This made him a little confused, until he found claw marks high on the trunk of a big tree.
“So it turns out that they mainly move in trees?”
Anhil immediately changed the direction of his attention, and in this way, he soon made a discovery.
Pick up a branch scattered under the big tree.
He didn't pay attention to these branches before, but now after careful observation, he found that the fractures of many branches were quite smooth, as if they had been cut off by a sharp knife.
It is naturally impossible for humans to go to the canopy of a big tree to chop firewood, and the blades of the Velociraptor are notoriously sharp.
It is self-evident how these scattered branches were broken off.
“It appears that the risk of close combat is high.”
Anhil muttered something to himself in a low voice, and began to use the fresh branches that fell on the ground as landmarks to continue tracking, gradually entering the densely forested area.
The surrounding light gradually dimmed.
The canopies of countless big trees stretched out like big umbrellas blocked the sun, and the dense forest was as dark as night.
This made Anhir more cautious.
The structure of human visual organs is destined to be more suitable for operating in bright environments, while many monsters, including velociraptors, are just the opposite.
That guy is probably around here.
Anhil, with a warning in his heart, slowly looked around. The cannon [Ominous Bird] unfolded silently, and Anhil pressed an armor-piercing grenade into the crossbow chamber.
Hold the crossbow ammunition but not fire it for a long time, which will greatly affect the life of the crossbow string mechanism spring and other parts.
But he had a hunch that it wouldn’t be long.
Anhir slightly bent his legs and moved forward slowly and silently.
In the shadow of the tree crown directly behind him, two faint red lights quietly emerged.
“Click.”
A sound of branches breaking, so soft that it was almost inaudible, reached Anhir's ears.
Anhil's expression changed drastically, and he swooped to one side to dodge without hesitation.
That is a huge beast stained with ink.
The giant beast's powerful limbs gripped the ground tightly, and while sliding forward to remove its inertia, it turned around, opened its sharp beak like a raptor, and let out a piercing roar.
“Gah ah ah ah—”
At the same time as Ancier dodges, he pulls the artillery [Violent Bird] in front of him in mid-air and pulls the trigger.
The ballista roared, and the armor-piercing grenade shot out, accurately nailing the Velociraptor's hard beak-like mouth.
Anhil, who gave up his body for the sake of shooting, rolled to the ground in a slightly embarrassed state, and the roar that could almost tear his eardrums made it difficult for him to get up.
Another two or three seconds passed, and the roar finally stopped.
The Velociraptor grabbed the ground with its front paws and pressed its body back, obviously preparing to pounce forward and quickly eliminate the tiny opponent that made its sneak attack miss.
However, the armor-piercing grenade exploded at this moment.
The sudden blasting noise made the Velociraptor stiffen up, and its movements about to take off were instantly disrupted. The Velociraptor jumped forward and fell to the ground.
Anhil really didn’t expect that the armor-piercing grenade subconsciously launched out of desperation would have such an effect.
Of course he would not miss such a good opportunity to attack. With dazzling hand movements, in the blink of an eye, Ancil replaced the magazine of the flame bomb.
Pull the bolt action to load the chamber, then pull the trigger continuously as quickly as possible while retreating to create distance.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Closes of bright flames exploded on the Velociraptor's head, and the burnt smell spread out. The jet-black hair almost covering the entire body of the Velociraptor was indeed very instable. No wonder its weak point was fire.
Anhil emptied the magazine as quickly as possible, replaced it with a new magazine, and continued to fire.
The Velociraptor, which had been fluttering for several seconds, finally got up at this time. It opened its mouth and let out a furious roar.
Scarlet blood climbed onto its swept auricles and wing membranes, and the red light in its eyes was bright, dragging two light tracks in the dark dense forest.
Anhil suddenly understood the origin of the name "Red Meteor".
The Velociraptor leaped into the air, its amazing jumping power helping it easily cross the distance of nearly thirty meters. Its long blades spread forward, as if they were going to cut off the hunter.
Anhil looked calm and continued to shoot until the blade almost fell on him, then he crouched and slid forward to avoid the sharp attack.
Place your palm across the magazine strap and quickly change the magazine. There is no better choice than shotgun at this distance.
“Boom!”
The roar of shotgun shells is much duller than other types of ammunition.
The muzzle is raised violently, and the user of the heavy ballista must stabilize his center of gravity in order to resist this powerful recoil.
What you pay these prices for is the super destructive power of shotguns at close range.
Countless needle fruit fragments penetrated deeply into the monster's body, and fine blood splashed everywhere.
The Velociraptor roared, jumped and turned around, and its long black tail, which accounted for more than half of its body length, swept towards the hunter.
Anhir once again skidded sideways, narrowly avoiding the velociraptor's tail sweep. The sharp spine-like hard scales on his long tail scraped against the armor on his back, making a sharp "sizzling" sound.
This kind of extreme dodge is very dangerous, but it is often an important factor that distinguishes novices from veterans.
Stop and stand up, raise the muzzle again, the velociraptor's open beak is already in front of you.
Under the visor, Anhil raised the corners of his mouth and pressed the trigger hard.
“Boom!”
At a distance of less than two meters, all the shrapnel fell on the Velociraptor's face, causing its head to tilt back.
“Gah ah ah!”
“Boom!”
Just as the short and sharp roar sounded, it was interrupted again by the roar of shotguns.
“Let me see how many shots you can take.”
