Chapter 990: Can you keep up with me?
Hyata instantly determined the direction and location of the attacker, and curled up.
Immediately afterwards, the whole figure was like a spring that was compressed and then released, flying towards the direction of the attack.
This way of dodging attacks may seem dangerous, but considering the inertia of the monster's attack, as long as the timing of flying to dodge is accurate enough, you can not only avoid the attack, but also maximize the distance and reduce the risk of being chased by the monster's subsequent actions.
However, the reaction of the monster that jumped in the air was also amazingly fast.
Seeing that the attack was about to fail, it was in mid-air and had nowhere to rely on. It just twisted its body, stretched out its sharp claws, and grabbed Hayata who rolled under it.
The harsh sound of hard objects rubbing against each other was heard, and sparks sputtered.
The attacker fell to the ground, turned over flexibly, and while changing its posture, it slid backwards to lose its inertia.
The sharp claws dug deep into the ground, tearing several deep grooves in the hard coral reef rocks.
Hayata, who broke out in a cold sweat, stood up quickly and unsheathed his sword.
The Purple Poison Princess armor she is wearing is not the kind of heavy armor with thick armor. The power of the claw just now is enough to break through the weak protection on the back of the armor and tear the flesh.
The reason why she was not injured was entirely because the scabbard of the Inscription Scythe, which was wider than the ordinary sword, was attached to her back like an armor plate (surfboard), blocking the blow for her.
Hayata breathed out softly, expelling all distracting thoughts such as surprise, anger, and happiness. He pointed the sickle of the inscription forward and faced the enemy with Xia Gou.
The attackers also realized that the creature they had never seen before was not the kind of prey that could be easily hunted.
It lowered its body slightly, growled low, and watched its opponent warily.
At the same time, the hunters were also observing it.
The size of this monster is not too big. It is only a little over ten meters long when the head and tail are stretched out, and the spine is about three meters high. Most monsters of this size are not dangerous, such as the big strange bird, the flying thunder dragon, the peach-haired beast king, etc.
However, the pressure this guy brought to the hunters was far beyond what ordinary three or four-star dangerous monsters could compare to.
The fangs that pierce the gums are divided into two rows, and there are abnormally ferocious claws, as well as the dragon-like red light escaping from the **** mouth and pupils.
There is no doubt that this guy is the murderer who hunted Sakura Fire Dragon.
“Is this guy a Dionysus?” Gale, who was holding a ballista a little further away, said to himself.
Not too big in size, with a slender but compact body structure, and alien-shaped claws, the monster in front of him is very similar to the Methonychus described in the information.
Except color.
In the data, the body of the Methonychus should be "scarlet red as if the skin has been peeled off and the muscles are exposed", not this deep black blue.
Furthermore, the information does not mention that the Mistyclaw has the ability to use dragon-type energy. Such important information is unlikely to be ignored by scholars.
Gail's muttering to himself seemed to stimulate the monster. It turned its head sharply, stared in the direction of the light crossbow user, and let out waves of menacing growls.
“Perhaps it’s an undiscovered subspecies of Dionysus!” Hayata raised her voice and said.
This sentence was not only for communication, but also to attract the attention of the monster in front of her. She continued: "It may be to protect its food. Try to evacuate!"
Speaking of evacuating, the hunters and hunting cats did not dare to turn around or put away their weapons. Their eyes were firmly fixed on the monster, they lowered their center of gravity and slowly retreated.
As soon as he took two steps back, the monster that was suspected to be a subspecies of Clawclaw reacted.
The limbs, which were not too thick but had unusually conspicuous muscle lines, suddenly exerted force. It jumped up, ran a few steps on the nearly vertical cliff, and jumped behind the hunters, blocking their way.
“Tsk.” Gale said in surprise, “It seems like it doesn’t want to let us go so easily.”
Hayata silently took out a bottle of ghost medicine and drank it.
Sensing the hostility from the prey, the blue monster seemed to be offended. The dragon-attribute light flashing in its eye sockets suddenly brightened, and it opened its mouth and roared.
“Roar—!” “Attack!”
Hayata swung his sword and took the initiative to charge.
Gail, on the other hand, took up the ballista and fired while quickly retreating to distance himself.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The cannon flames flashed brightly, and three crossbow shells shot out.
Unlike Ancil, who is good at precise sniping and fire suppression, Gale is better at guerrilla warfare.
Her starting speed was very fast, but the monster's reaction was actually faster than hers. The moment she pulled the trigger, the blue monster took a small step sideways.
On the ground, gravel and sparks flew, and the crossbow shells actually missed.
Gail immediately turned the gun, but the monster was very smart. It never stayed in one place for more than two seconds, but kept running and jumping, making it impossible for the shooter to lock on to the target.
“Nima, so flexible?!”
Gail was cursing. She was in no hurry to continue firing. Forcibly firing without being able to lock on the opponent was just a waste of precious ammunition.
“I’ll contain it, you look for an opportunity!”
Hayata rushed towards the monster, staggered his steps, turned and swung his blade, converting the speed of the charge into the speed of swinging the sword, slashing forward diagonally.
Since the blue monster can dodge the muzzle, it will naturally dodge when faced with more straightforward sword slashes.
The refined muscles gave it extraordinary speed and jumping ability. It flew and jumped back, and the slashing attack supported by the charge also failed.
“Bang! Bang!”
Gail raised the muzzle of the gun and quickly pulled the trigger. She saw the blue monster leaping in mid-air and fired at the moment when it was unable to dodge. The crossbow bullet finally hit the target successfully.
"Roar!"
The monster that landed on the ground roared angrily.
Although the shooting just now did not cause any serious damage, it still felt the pain that it had not seen for a long time.
Under this stimulation, it also stopped its sadistic thoughts of teasing its prey. Red electricity exploded between its sharp teeth, and its limbs tensed up and charged forward, taking the initiative to launch an attack.
Hayata immediately adjusted his position and blocked the monster's charging path, preventing it from approaching the shooter.
Hyata held the sword high with both hands and raised Xiagou again, carefully observing the movements of the blue monster.
Judging from the speed and jumping ability that it burst out before, this guy's charge definitely has room for power. Compared with the dragon chariot that the large monster rushes in with all its strength, such an offensive is more troublesome.
Whether it is dodge or counterattack, the movement should not be too big, otherwise there will be no time to deal with the subsequent changes.
The distance between the two shortened rapidly, and as they were about to enter the monster's attack range, Hayata still made no move.
Gail almost couldn't help but shout a reminder, but that might distract his companion.
The moment the two were about to collide, the blue monster moved first, and its ten hook-like right claws swung out, with the power of running, enough to tear the hunter to pieces.
Almost at the same time, Hayata swung his sword sideways, used reverse cassock chop to deflect the claw attack, and at the same time used the force to jump to the side.
One blow missed, the blue monster's movements did not pause at all, and the other claw immediately made up for the combo.
Hayata raises his sword simultaneously.
With precise defense, the monster's second claw strike was deflected. With this force, the sword slashed across the monster's forehead.
Severe with a strong air blade!
