Chapter 514: Just take off this chapter
At first glance, it looked like a flying dragon, but the orange-red monster's frame was much slender than the flying dragon. It raised its huge spoon-like beak, smashed a small tree in two or three times, and then dragged it away with it in its mouth.
The small tree was dragged to the clearing in the forest and stacked together with the large pile of dead yellow branches.
"Googaga!" Torn apart by its claws and giant beak, the small tree quickly turned into countless fragments. After a little tidying up, it became part of the pile of dead branches.
—This is a nest that has not yet been built.
For scholars, especially the team of scriveners who focus on studying the ecology of monsters, the scene of a giant strange bird building a nest in front of them is a rare and "ecological data" of great research value.
But for hunters
Great! It's a lair! It's a pity that I wasn't sleeping.
“Forget it, it doesn’t matter whether you are sleeping or not.”
Gordon walked out of the shadows in the forest. He walked straight towards the big strange bird, "Pork Chop, you don't have to take action. Just use a flash bomb or a sonic bomb to blow it down when it's about to fly away."
"Okay, meow." Zhupa touched the tool bag behind him, "When it's almost done, come down and set the trap, meow."
The conversation between one person and one cat did not lower the volume. The words and footsteps immediately attracted the attention of the big strange bird with keen hearing.
Its ears were wide open and it looked at Gordon walking towards it alertly.
The big strange birds that occupy the middle and upper ecological niches are not without natural enemies, but they are deeply rooted in the instinct of the group. The predators that must be vigilant obviously do not include small people like the one in front of them.
Then the big strange bird stretched its neck and let out a demonstrative roar.
The fan-shaped auricles played a role similar to a loudspeaker. The huge sound wave forced Gordon to pause for a moment. After the sound wave stopped for a while, he continued to move forward.
When the distance between the two was less than twenty meters, the big strange bird finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward with a strange cry.
Gordon, on the other hand, stood firm, holding the sword in both hands, adjusting the condition of his muscles and joints, and keeping his eyes fixed on the giant orange-red bird that was speeding towards him.
A gesture of courage.
Although it is only a three-star dangerous monster and has a slightly funny nickname like "Teacher Yangkuku", in fact, in the eyes of many hunters, especially novice hunters, the big strange bird is a very troublesome existence.
The shape, momentum, carapace, flying ability, body structure, and breathing ability are all similar to those of the flying dragon species, only slightly inferior.
Hunters who can successfully hunt it will be initially recognized as having the strength to challenge the flying dragon.
In the Hunter Guild, there are several other monsters with similar positioning, such as water dragon, sleeping bird, salon king, strange dragon, etc.
If you don’t hunt this kind of monster alone, the guild will not give it the qualification to challenge the four-star promotion task. Therefore, these monsters also have the saying of "veteran certificate".
Of course, Gordon had already crossed that threshold long ago, but when he turned around, he faced the big strange bird again wearing a novice armor with almost no defensive effect.
Still feel a little "stimulating" to some extent.
Gordon gripped the hilt of his sword tightly—it was this stimulation he wanted.
The big strange bird lowered its head slightly, and pointed the tip of its huge beak towards the hunter who was standing quietly.
At the last moment of the attack, Gordon spun around and slipped away, but the crisis was not over. Following the giant beak were sharp claws that could easily cut open the chest and abdomen of a large creature.
An inexperienced hunter would inevitably be in a hurry at this time, but Gordon swung his sword in time and used the reaction force from the hilt to slide again, successfully avoiding the collision attack of the big strange bird.
"Um"
Gordon did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, but pondered on the spot and experienced it for a moment.
There was no particularly obvious feeling, except that the moment he dodged the attack, his heartbeat accelerated for a moment.
But this does not seem to be surprising.
The monster would not give him a chance to think slowly. After realizing that the attack failed, the big strange bird roared angrily, turned around, raised its giant beak, and struck down like a hammer on a walnut.
Gordon once again showed courage and dodged in time.
Only this time, after dodging the attack, he immediately picked up the sword and entered a charging posture.
One paragraph, two paragraphs, three paragraphs, release!
Three sections of charged slashes fell on the big strange bird's thigh. Due to the poor sharpness of Bernard's sword, the wound caused by this sword was not deep, but the huge force still made the big strange bird scream. .
“Gah!”
Gordon's eyes lit up slightly.
Gordon stepped back, preparing to put some distance between himself and the big strange bird, so as to fully appreciate the feeling.
However, the big strange bird that had been stabbed in the leg obviously didn't have such a good temper. It shook its head and chased after him with a strange cry.
“Tsk, annoying.”
Maintaining a courageous posture, Gordon clicked his tongue impatiently as he experienced that feeling over and over again.
Facing the rushing giant orange-red bird, he subconsciously picked up the sword and entered a charging posture. The feeling of charging and accelerating still continued.
Before the big strange bird pounced and bit it, he successfully swung the charged slash in his hand.
“Quack!”
The Bernard's sword, which was not sharp but still heavy, was like a hammer, swinging the big strange bird's head to the ground. Due to the rapid approach, the unsteady big strange bird staggered and fell over, struggling and screaming.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The sound of the heart beating rapidly can almost be heard directly with the ears.
Fueled by fear, courage burned in his chest.
“This feeling.” Gordon paused.
He used to just think of it as the excitement of fighting and didn't pay much attention to it, but now, he has some new ideas.
Refine it, master it.
After a while, the heartbeat gradually returned to a gentle pace, and the fiery emotions had dissipated.
This time, he failed, but there is nothing to be discouraged.
Gordon smiled and readjusted the sword—he had found the trick.
Facing the oncoming fear and responding calmly can naturally gather "courage", but the most efficient way is to attack the monster and fear in the face of it!
Looking at the big strange bird getting up, Gordon licked the corners of his mouth.
“Continue, continue to attack, let me practice again.”
In less than half a month, Gordon and Longliyuan’s transport airship went to the ancient forest four times.
This last fourth time, the target is still a large strange bird subspecies—a blue strange bird whose danger level has reached the four-star level.
When he saw the signal, he led the transport team to the green strange bird, which was dying and fell into a deep coma under the effects of traps and capture tranquilizer bombs.
The young researchers from the dragon tribe couldn't help but feel pity for this big guy with an indigo carapace.
Like the three big strange birds before, they were all beaten to death by Gordon with a blunt sword. Well, they were beaten half to death.
Gordon promised the chief researcher not to damage the wing membrane as much as possible, so apart from the wings, these guys can hardly find a slightly complete carapace.
Under normal circumstances, the hunting philosophy of hunters is to "cut off one of their fingers", but in order to let these big strange birds last a little longer, Gordon practiced with him more.
Plucked out all the fingernails on all ten fingers
The young researcher carefully approached Gordon, who was standing aside with his arms folded.
Bernard's suit, which was white and brand-new half a month ago, has long been stained with blood and turned into a dirty red-black color.
Bernard's sword, which was roughly made from ore, became like a saw. The broken blade was soaked in blood that could not be wiped clean, and it always exuded the pungent smell of blood.
This is the first time that the boy has seen someone wearing novice equipment to create such a terrifying feeling.
“Mr. Gordon?”
The young researcher swallowed his saliva, stabilized his emotions, and said: "Thanks to your help, we have collected a sufficient number of large strange bird wing membranes.
In this way, the Longshi ship’s power sail and directional sail have the best materials.
Then, um, do you still need to continue hunting the big strange bird? We can continue to send people if needed.”
"No."
Gordon raised his eyes and said with a smile: "We have roughly touched on the basics, and then it is time to find some more powerful opponents for actual combat."
Ah, okay.”
The young researcher was not sure if it was his hallucination. He seemed to see a trace of blue light disappearing from Gordon's eyes.
