Chapter 87 Gambling and forced savings
The successful tail docking gave Gordon some confidence in the outcome of the hunt.
Different from yesterday's bitter battle, the initiative in today's battle is almost always in one's own hands.
From using sonic bombs to pre-emptively attack, to using Pork Chops to feign attacks from the front to lure the enemy, and to attack weak points from the side, the completely different hunting experience once again proves the importance of tactics when hunting monsters.
Perhaps it was because of the severe pain of having its tail cut off that the big strange bird got up faster. This pitiful big guy didn't lie on the ground for too long.
Gordon was worried that the big strange bird would get up and strike back violently, so he retreated early and kept a safe distance of several meters. Facts have proved that his caution was right.
The big strange bird had just returned to its normal state for two minutes, and its eyes turned red again.
Gordon feels that this should be the result of tail docking
The familiar sulfurous smell of gas accompanied by sparks shooting out from the edge of the giant bird's huge beak is undoubtedly a precursor to breathing.
Yesterday's severe burns left him with some psychological shadow.
Although the big strange bird's hot sand breath has a short range, the splash range is really a bit large. In order to avoid being burned again, Gordon immediately put away his sword and began to retreat cautiously, while being ready to dodge at any time.
The big strange bird took an extremely long time to prepare for this breath attack. The vague gurgling sound like gargling echoed in its huge beak, and the scattered sparks in the gaps between the giant beak gradually turned into blazing flames.
Could this guy really be able to directly spit out a fireball like a fire dragon?
Gordon, who had retreated dozens of meters away, was cursing in his heart. His attention and energy were also concentrated to the extreme, alert to the attack that might come at any time.
“Googaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
With a strange cry, the big strange bird that had been "charging" for a long time suddenly started to move.
The slender and powerful legs are pawing the ground, and the wings that are constantly flapping may be to maintain balance, or may be to assist in acceleration. The huge head is swinging left and right. It is like a drunken madman, rushing towards Gordon. Rushing here.
“What the hell?!”
Gordon cursed secretly. He had been preparing the breath attack for a long time, but why did it suddenly turn into a "dragon chariot"?
Just when Gordon was about to swoop to dodge, a large ball of flame mixed with hot sand and gravel was thrown out by the big strange bird. It drew a parabola and hit a place six or seven meters away from Gordon.
Gordon's steps suddenly stopped.
Following that, came the second regiment, the third regiment, and the fourth regiment.
While the big strange bird swung its giant head left and right and ran wildly, it sprayed out multiple **** of hot sand breath, which landed on both sides of its collision path in a rather random manner.
This made Gordon dare not dodge at all.
The seemingly random "random" breath of the big strange bird is completely unpredictable. Once it is hit, no, as long as it is slightly affected by the hot sand with a very wide sputtering range, the dragon chariot following it will hit it. He crushed it into meatloaf!
This guy actually knows how to use his breath to block his escape route? ? !
Gordon stared at the big strange bird running wildly in shock. He knew in his heart that if he didn't do something, he would let Pork Chop help him prepare for his funeral.
You can't run away by turning your head and running away. With that distance, it's impossible for human legs to outrun the monster.
Fly sideways and roll to try your luck. This is the most normal choice. Do everything you can and then let fate take its course.
But Gordon didn't want to bet his life on luck.
It's fine to gamble with his life, but he is more willing to gamble on strength than gambling on luck!
Taking a deep breath, pressing it into his abdomen, and stabilizing his core, Gordon stared closely at the big strange bird that was rushing towards him. The giant scissors on his back were placed directly on his shoulders. As his heart pumped powerfully, blood rushed into his muscles. , the strength began to gather.
“If you are strong enough and the timing is accurate enough, you can even directly kill the flying dragon flying over the hunter’s head with a charged attack!”
This is what a high-ranking swordsman in the assembly told him when he was drinking and bragging.
At the time, Gordon regarded this as an exaggerated description, but now, he plans to give it a try!
The big strange bird was running wildly with extremely large strides. The injuries to its wings and legs, as well as the way it swayed from side to side, meant that its center of gravity was unstable.
As long as you can seize that moment!
Under the visor, Gordon's eyes narrowed slightly.
As the power level gradually increased, the distance between him and the big strange bird became closer and closer, ten meters, eight meters, five meters, two meters.
It's now!
"ha!"
Gordon, whose muscles and joints were tense to the extreme, instantly released the same powerful slash that he had accumulated to the limit. The giant scissors turned into an afterimage with devastating force, broke the air, and slashed at the side of the big strange bird. face.
The huge head of the big strange bird was smashed to one side. It had been relying on swinging its head and wings to maintain its center of gravity. It instantly lost its balance and fell over in front of the hunter.
Pork Chop, who was hiding in the distance and was anxious, saw this scene and couldn't help but jump up with joy.
For Gordon in the past, a charged slash was the end of a series of attacks.
After all, humans are not machines. After releasing the energy accumulated to the limit in one breath, two or three seconds must be left to allow the muscles to "breathe".
But now, he inexplicably feels that the charged attack is just a "pre-emption".
The power accumulated before was not completely dissipated with the slash of the sword, but turned into a short-term "aftershock" that temporarily remained deep in the muscles.
Waiting to be reawakened, or dissipating after a few seconds.
He recalled in his mind a move that the high-ranking swordsman taught him in a daze after he was half drunk.
Kneeling on one knee with both legs bent, the arms, shoulders, and even the waist holding the hilt of the sword were tightened as much as possible to the right. The whole person was like a group of winches that had been twisted to the limit, and the winches were At the end of the wheel is a big sword with its tip pointing straight into the sky!
This is an advanced charging posture called "Strong Charged Slash".
As the muscles tightened again, the strength that had not been dissipated seemed to have returned, and even improved on the original basis, no, it was several steps!
The power accumulated to another level seemed to be about to escape Gordon's control. He roared and struck the strongest sword since he became a hunter at the big strange bird that had not yet gotten up.
Slash with strong charge!
The giant scissors cut across a huge arc, chopping down with a powerful momentum that seemed to split the earth in two.
Since he was not yet able to accurately grasp this new power, the sword failed to hit the left wing root joint where Gordon expected, but hit the wing bone of the left wing of the big strange bird.
The carapace, skin, and fascia were all destroyed without any hindrance in front of the giant shears. The only thing that could stop the sword blade was the thick bones.
“Kala!”
There was a crisp sound of bones breaking, and the wing bone of the big strange bird that was struck was bent at a weird angle. Looking at the tiny bone stubbles splashing out from the wound, Gordon knew that the left wing of the big strange bird was also broken. It is considered completely scrapped.
The miserable howl was heard endlessly, and the big strange bird, which had been hit hard again, bounced off the ground as if it had been electrocuted. Its huge flapping wings pushed Gordon back and staggered, but fortunately he was not injured.
Just when Gordon took a few steps away, preparing to face another wave of anger from the big strange bird, he was shocked to find out.
This guy actually turned around and limped away?
