Chapter 355 The Fall of the Red Bird
Continuous high-intensity attacks and singing, coupled with the accumulation of injuries, made the red bird a little tired.
Logically speaking, this is a good time to use the Charged Slash, but Gordon did not choose to do so.
He almost completely gave up on using charged slashes, and just kept getting closer, using faster moves such as sword-drawing and vertical slashes, repeatedly harassing the red bird, making it unable to sing, and had no time to take care of the heavy crossbowmen who continued to fire.
This is the most stable tactic.
Although the red colored bird has a stronger body and tougher scales and feathers than ordinary colorful birds, its small size is still considered a "flaw".
Gordon, who is tall and heavily armored, can even use the iron mountain support on his shoulders to directly disrupt the red bird's pace and balance.
This is impossible to do when facing those large monsters that are often twenty meters long.
Of course the red bird wants to fight back, but its more powerful attacks require a little preparation time, such as continuous pecks, or the electric shock of tourmaline collision.
Gordon didn't give it this time.
In order to maintain the interference, he sometimes had no time to turn over the blade, and would even strike directly with the back of the sword without the claw blade.
It doesn’t require much damage, as long as it can interrupt the movement of the red bird.
“Quack!”
The back of the sword hit the side of Hong Cai Bird's slender neck again, interrupting its peck. The heavy sword blade was like a sledgehammer, making Hong Cai Bird stagger.
Gordon seized on the flaw in the red bird's center of gravity, shortened his body slightly, and swung his sword horizontally - trying to further damage the red bird's balance in this way and force it to fall.
The timing of this sword strike was very good. He slashed the not-so-thick bird's feet off the ground and was about to trip.
Anhil was ready to shout "Well done".
However, the Red Bird showed amazing combat experience and balance at this time.
It flapped its wings vigorously, and the strong wind caused Gordon to retreat while also bearing the weight of his body.
Not only did it not fall, but it flew up in a low-altitude posture.
Gordon held his sword in front of him and tried to get closer despite the strong wind. However, the strength of this wind pressure was not inferior to that of a large flying dragon like the fire dragon.
Unless he is equipped with special structural armor designed to withstand wind pressure, no hunter can move freely in such a strong wind.
This is also the red bird's most troublesome move for Gordon.
Flash He can use block and ignore, leap and electric shock, peck, charge, and sing. He also has ways to deal with them.
Only this wind pressure, he really has no way to resist.
The previous hit by the tail flick was also the result of being suppressed by the wind pressure, which prevented him from dodging or defending in time.
"Meow!"
Pork Chop, who quietly approached from the side, threw a small barrel of explosive bombs, trying to attack the red bird suspended in mid-air.
But before the bomb barrel had time to land on the red bird, it was blown away by the strong wind set off by the pair of fleshy wings.
It almost missed Gordon.
“I’m sorry, meow!”
"fine!"
The farther away from the red bird, the weaker the wind pressure. Gordon, who was blown some distance away by the strong wind, was already able to take action. He tried to throw a flash bomb.
In order to throw the flash bomb in front of the colorful bird against the wind pressure, he used much more strength than usual.
The location of the flash bomb explosion was well grasped, and the bright light almost erupted in front of the red bird's eyes.
Embarrassingly, it has no effect.
Gordon grinned self-deprecatingly. Thinking about it, the red bird can emit flashes of its own. The brightness is much higher than the flash bombs used by hunters. How can it be afraid of strong light?
"boom!"
Ancil opened fire, and the roar this time was obviously duller than when he fired ice shells before.
It’s an armor-piercing grenade!
Even so, the armor-piercing grenade still failed to hit the red bird. The trajectory drifted past it a few meters away and exploded in the air.
"boom!"
There was another muffled sound. This time the sound of the cannon fire was obviously much closer, as if it was right behind the ear?
Gordon turned his head to the side and checked with his peripheral vision.
Anhil actually took the initiative to walk to a position close to him, held the heavy crossbow, and continued walking forward.
Is this guy trying to break through the wind pressure by shortening the flight distance of the crossbow?
“Boom!”
Unfortunately, the armor-piercing grenade still missed, but flew past the red bird and exploded in the distance.
But Ancier smiled, "Get ready to charge."
Then, he half-crouched down and entered the crouching shooting mode.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Anhir reloaded at an extremely fast speed and fired three armor-piercing grenades in succession.
The armor-piercing grenade seemed to be flying in the wrong direction, but under the influence of the airflow raised by the wings of the red bird, it just happened to hit the latter.
Two on the chest and one on the base of the wing.
Gordon also smiled, regardless of the howling wind, he put his palm on the hilt of his sword and started charging directly.
Two seconds later, three consecutive explosions sounded loudly.
Amidst the fire and loud noise, the red bird flying in the sky screamed and fell down.
Gordon also rushed in front of it at this time, switching the charging posture as quickly as possible. After a not too long period of preparation, he really charged up and slashed, falling heavily.
“Gah!”
Hong Cai Bird screamed. The sword not only opened a huge crack in its head and neck, but also cracked the mallet-shaped resonating beak.
"not enough."
Gordon recalled the sword he had used to kill the colorful bird before, rolled and adjusted his position, and came to the side of the red bird's neck. He stood up and charged up his strength again.
This time, he aimed at the joint between the head and neck of the red bird.
—The previous crisp kills have proven that the cervical spine is the weakest point in the Color Bird family’s bones.
Hunting the sword [Wang Hu] roared and slashed down.
The claw-shaped hooked blade is difficult to cut directly, but its "point" destructive power is undoubtedly greater than those of smooth-designed sword blades.
At the head of the sword, the two longest and sharpest fangs, with the blessing of the true charged slashing force, easily penetrated the red bird's neck skin, which was covered with fine scales.
Muscles and tendons are equally as fragile as nothing in front of these two sharp teeth.
They were like steel nails driven into a wooden board, wedged into the gap between the neck bones of the red bird. With a crisp sound of "click", the slender neck of the red bird bent at a weird angle.
The flesh wings that kept flapping and the feet kicked twice as if they were electrocuted, and finally collapsed.
The life disappears, the bird with red color, the hunting is successful.
Gordon stepped on the red bird's forehead and pulled out the big sword [Wang Hu] stuck between the neck bones.
He took a long breath and said: "It's finally over. This guy is more troublesome than I thought."
Anhil folded and put away the heavy crossbow and walked over, "Yes, I originally thought that it didn't have much ability other than summoning monsters to infiltrate. It seems that I still underestimate it."
“Strip the material, I’ll be on guard.” Gordon simply shook off the blood on the sword and carried it behind his back.
“I have no interest in this guy’s material.”
"Me too, but I can peel it off and sell it for money. After all, it is a rare subspecies, so it should have a good market."
“What I don’t lack most is money.”
".Okay, you be on guard, I'll peel it off."
