Chapter 961 Rest in Peace
With Gordon and Hayata watching eagerly, the leader of the second phase of the regiment returned the heavy crossbow to Ancil, then cleared his throat and continued:
“Of course, diffusion bombs are the strongest attack method of this [Famine], but it is not the only method.
Otherwise this thing should be called a portable mortar, not a heavy crossbow.
You are hunters, and you know better than craftsmen like me. Although the power of diffusion bombs is exaggerated, their firing speed and trajectory are also slow. How to use them in actual combat depends on the timing.
So more often, conventional crossbow shells are still used for direct attacks. "
“That’s true.” The hunters nodded in agreement.
Then, the second-phase regiment leader’s tone became excited again, “In addition to diffusion bombs, this heavy crossbow is also extremely suitable for firing armor-piercing grenades.
The battle scene I envision is to first fire armor-piercing grenades quickly, and then use diffusion bombs to detonate them in one go after the monsters' heads and other vital points are filled with grenades.
Red Lotus's explosive flames will bloom instantly like fireworks. Even large monsters with rough skin and thick flesh cannot withstand such a violent attack and can easily be blown to the ground.
At this time, it is the best time to continuously launch diffusion bombs! "
Ancier thought about it seriously and nodded: "This tactic is good, but you need to adjust the fuse of the armor-piercing grenades to extend the detonation time and let them stay on the monster for a while.
This will make it easier for the diffusion bomb to explode with sufficient power instantly when detonated. "
Gordon and Hayata's faces turned darker.
For swordsmen, spread bombs, shotgun shells and armor-piercing grenades are definitely the three most annoying types of crossbow shells.
The probability of accidental injury is extremely high.
Think about the scene where the monster is covered with armor-piercing grenades, and that sword cuts it
But if they think about it in another direction, they feel relieved.
The Commander-in-Chief has said before that there are not many cases where the entire team of high-ranking hunters will be dispatched at one time. In many cases, they will perform tasks alone.
This [Famine] is very suitable for Ancil to use when hunting alone.
As for team combat, Ancier has many heavy crossbows to choose from. Presumably this guy will not use [Famine] specifically to bombard his teammates.
“Ah, I almost forgot to mention, this heavy crossbow is also suitable for dragon bullets.” The leader of the second phase regiment added with a smile.
"Dragon bullets?" Gordon was a little curious. This type of crossbow bullet was rarely used, and he had only heard of it.
Ancier took over the conversation and explained: "It is a special crossbow shell newly developed in recent years. It imitates the principle of the gun gun and dragon cannon. It is slightly less powerful than the dragon cannon, but does not need to be cooled down."
“Sounds good, why don’t you use it?”
Anhil curled his lips, "There are many shortcomings. The dragon strike bomb is heavier than the diffusion bomb just now, and you can't carry two of it.
Furthermore, the effective range is extremely short, and it can basically only be fired at the monster's face. The launch lead time is long and the recoil is also large. "
Hearing this, Gordon also understood that although he occasionally engages in close combat, Ancil is more often used to shooting at medium and long distances.
Dragonshot bullets were not in keeping with his habits.
“But then again, the dragon strike bomb is quite suitable for the tactical system of armor-piercing grenade and diffusion bomb.” Anhil pondered for two seconds and continued:
“This system is mainly for medium and short range. Dragon bombs can be used as a supplement when the monster is knocked down. When the spread bombs are insufficient, they can also be used to detonate armor-piercing grenades.”
“That’s right!”
The leader of the second-phase regiment crossed his arms, “Diffusion bombs, armor-piercing grenades, and dragon strike bombs work together. This is the core use of [Famine].
This may not be in line with your previous habits. If you want to make good use of this heavy crossbow, just get familiar with this system in the training ground. "
"Training ground?" Ancier chuckled, "It's enough to adapt to the ballistics here. For the rest, I prefer to go to the wild to 'practice'."
I spent another whole day adapting to the new weapons in the training ground until nightfall. Under the guidance of the leader of the second phase regiment, I mixed a large number of lv3 diffusion bombs.
In the early morning of the third day after acquiring [Famine], Anhil set off alone on Gale Wind, heading for the Ancient Tree Forest.
Out of the village gate of Xingchen Stronghold, the strong wind was running very fast.
The Tooth Hound is a creature that likes to run very much. It doesn't like running long distances of two to three hundred kilometers, but the distance from the Star Stronghold to the Ancient Tree Forest is only a few kilometers.
Such a distance is more like a game to relax the muscles for Gale.

Hunting mission: Investigate the poisonous bird (★★★)
Task content: Hunting the poisonous bird
Remuneration: 2520z
Mission location: Ancient Tree Forest
Monsters that may appear: Thief Dragon, Big Thief Dragon, Flying Thunder Dragon
Limited time: 3 days
Director of the Institute of Ecology: I would like to entrust a survey team to once again investigate the various monsters that inhabit the ancient tree forest.
There are still many things that are not clear about the ecology of these monsters and need to be investigated.
Through careful investigation, you can obtain useful information for subjugation and capture.

“Since it’s a hunting mission, it shouldn’t be a problem if we skip the investigation step and go hunting directly, right? Hehehehe,” Anhil said to himself, letting out a rather terrifying laugh.
Gale turned back and glanced helplessly at the owner behind him. Under the urging of the latter, it accelerated its pace further.
After running at full speed for about an hour, they arrived at the area where the mission target was located.
Just as Anhil was about to jump off the saddle and search for traces of his target, Gale suddenly sniffed his nose and trotted Anhil to a withered bush.
On the withered branches and leaves of the shrub, there is still some purple venom that has not yet dried up.
“Oh, you’re lucky, well done, gale.” Anhil smiled, carefully collected some samples with a peeling knife, and put them into the insect guide cage.
The guide insects responded quickly and flew out of the insect cage to guide the hunter.
The gale is running again.
Ten minutes later, an ugly figure walking in the forest came into view of the hunter.
It was a bird-dragon monster that looked like a combination of a big strange bird and a toad.
The long tongue that spits out from the corners of his mouth from time to time is covered with thick toxic saliva. The gelatinized skin is covered with small bumps, showing a greasy blue-green color like algae, and the colorful tail like a flesh worm flicks.
Looking at this monster that stood out from head to toe in his aesthetic spot, Anhil frowned in disgust.
“That’s disgusting, please do it quickly.”
Anhil jumped off the back of Gale and walked towards the poisonous demon bird.
Discovering an uninvited guest approaching, the poisonous demon bird turned its head and was about to let out a threatening roar.
A flash bomb landed in front of it first, stunning it.
——!
Putting down the left arm equipped with the catapult, Anhil methodically squatted down, loaded the diffusion bomb, raised the industry heavy crossbow [Famine], and fired.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“Boom, boom—!”
Amidst the blazing explosions and continuous roaring sounds, the poisonous demon bird was blown to the ground, howling and struggling miserably.
Gale stayed obediently beside Ancier, making it easier for the latter to take ammunition from the ammunition box on its side and reload it quickly.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Three more diffusion bombs rushed out of the crossbow chamber, drawing a high arc and falling towards the poisonous demon bird not far away.
After three rounds of attacks like this, the smoke cleared slightly.
The poisonous demon bird has turned into a blackened and broken corpse.
ˆPs.
The poisonous bird is just a monster of this level. In fact, if Gordon were to use traps to control it, it would only take two or three real savings. Whether it is placed in the game or based on realistic plot considerations, it is quite reasonable. .
But there will be no such plot as the proliferation of heavy crossbows and one sub-station.
