Monster Hunt: Notes From a Hunter

Chapter 111 Explosive Sword Modification

Chapter 111 Explosive Knife·Revised

Gordon was a little confused by what Ansel said.

Looking at the former's back walking away quickly, he was a little unsure for a moment, wondering if he was too nosy.

"Oh~! We saw an interesting scene!" A lively and cheerful female voice came from behind him.

Gordon looked back and found that it was Isana, the daughter of the village chief of the Earth Dragon Tribe. The freckled girl in a bright yellow loose blacksmith's uniform was sticking her head out from behind the corner and looking at him with a smile.

"Uh"

Gordon didn't know what to say for a moment.

Isana came out from behind the corner, holding a hammer and saying, "That guy is just a tsundere. If you don't follow him, he will be dissatisfied~."

Gordon squinted at the girl, "I'm very sure you are talking nonsense."

"Ahem." Isana coughed twice and continued:

"Okay, let's not joke anymore. Is that guy your teammate? We see that he is carrying the ore crystal nova, he is a heavy crossbowman, the heavy crossbowman left the swordsman in the same team and went hunting alone. Did he have magma in his brain?"

"Teammate? Not really." Gordon shook his head and said, "We are all lone hunters and have only worked together once."

Isana heard this and her short eyebrows raised slightly, "A lone heavy crossbowman? Rare. The heavy crossbow cannon was designed as a strong output equipment with specialized firepower from the beginning.

Some people I have considered adding a small shield to the heavy crossbow to improve the survivability of the heavy crossbow user, but the actual combat results prove that the effect is not good.

If there is no teammate to cooperate, the slow-moving heavy crossbow user will have a headache facing the monster alone. "

"Is that so?"

Gordon crossed his arms, "That guy said that he had encountered a bottleneck in his strength improvement and wanted to find a strong enemy to seek a breakthrough in desperation. I think it makes sense, but he happened to be a heavy crossbow user, so..."

"Wait? ! Heavy crossbow user? Seeking a breakthrough in the desperate situation of hunting alone?" Isana suddenly interrupted Gordon, her eyebrows seemed to stand up higher, "How many stars is that guy a hunter?"

"Three stars."

"That idiot!" Isana put her hands on her waist and said angrily: "He got the wrong direction!"

"What do you mean by wrong direction?" Gordon asked in confusion.

"Take you as an example, you are a great sword user, right?" Isana pointed at Gordon.

"Yes."

"As far as you great sword users are concerned, physical fitness and strength are the key, and sword skills are also the key, and the former is even more important.

Do you think that a great sword user who spends all day honing his sword skills but never trains his body, exercises muscles, and improves his strength can go far?"

Gordon shook his head decisively, "Impossible, one star or two stars may not be so obvious, but when facing more powerful monsters, physical fitness is definitely the key among the keys.

No matter how exquisite the sword skills are, if you can't even carry a great sword, what's the use?"

"Yes! If the core of the great sword user is 'strength', then the core of the heavy crossbow user is 'cooperation'. How to cooperate with teammates to output enough damage is a problem that heavy crossbow users must think about.

In the final analysis, he has no bottleneck! His so-called bottleneck is that because he is unwilling to team up with others, the role that the heavy crossbow can play is limited!

Who is that guy's instructor? It's not that he forgot to tell him such a basic thing, right?"

Gordon rubbed his face.

After this long call from Isana, he finally figured it out.

Does Ansel not know the importance of teaming up? Of course not, it's just that he hasn't found the right teammate. That kind of support method of shooting at the swordsman's head is not something that everyone can get used to.

Anshil is a genius, there is no doubt about that.

Is his "graze bullet" support shooting really messing around?

Not necessarily.

On the one hand, he has absolute confidence, and on the other hand, it is also an amazing shooting skill - Anshil is very good at capturing action gaps.

In order to take care of the "courage" of his teammates, he gave up his own talents, sealed his hard-earned skills, and forced himself to become mediocre.

Why? !

- Since you can't find teammates who are willing to trust your shooting skills unconditionally, then simply don't form a team, rely on yourself!

Even if the result of doing so is that you can't play your full strength, or even die in the hunting ground.

"Ah, if that's the case, it's a pity." Gordon sighed.

"Yeah, that weird guy, then you go help him."

"But my giant shears were damaged in the last battle." Gordon smiled bitterly, rubbing the corners of his eyes, "Even if there are enough materials, it will take a long time to make a new weapon from scratch."

"Yeah, it will take two or three days to rush it. Forging and tempering all take time, so there is no rush." ​​As a craftsman, Isana, whose strength is unquestionable, shrugged and replied.

"My backup weapon will wait!" Gordon said, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Explosive Knife! My backup weapon, the Explosive Knife, just arrived!

For dealing with the General Scythe Crab, the Explosive Knife may be a little weak, but I have the Brilliant Dragon Stone! Isana! How long will it take to strengthen the Explosive Knife to the Explosive Knife·Change at the fastest?"

".General Scythe Crab?!" Isana looked at Gordon with a strange expression, "If I remember correctly, you are also a three-star hunter, right? Escape?!"

"Uh" Gordon's face froze after accidentally letting the cat out of the bag.

"If it's the General Scythe Crab, that guy is in danger."

Isana's face gradually became serious. She stared at Gordon's eyes and said seriously: "It may be too late to issue an emergency task and recruit hunters for rescue. Tell me the truth, are you really sure?"

Gordon nodded and replied seriously: "If he and I cooperate, there will be no problem."

"Huh~! It looks like we have to work all night!"

Isana rubbed her freckled nose and picked up the long-handled forging hammer at hand, "Send the explosive knife and reinforcement materials to the workshop, and then go back to recuperate!

Tomorrow morning, take the new weapons and get ready to go!"

The next day, before dawn.

Gordon took the pork chop and the explosive knife modified with the remaining heat of the fire on his back, and got on the small mine cart to the hunting ground.

Ansel set off yesterday afternoon.

Even if he took the small mine cart that he hated, he could not reach the hunting ground until nearly dusk.

As long as his brain hadn't completely gone crazy, he wouldn't have chosen to start hunting on the night he arrived at the hunting ground. After all, no matter where the hunting ground is, the danger of hunting at night is much higher than that during the day.

If that's the case, he should be able to catch up.

"I hope I'm not going to collect the body of that guy." Gordon stroked the silver-shining blade of the Explosion Blade·Kai and muttered in a low voice.

The Explosion Blade·Kai, which has been reinforced with a large amount of pyroxene and tupkinite and recast with a hook blade, has been completely transformed.

The original silver-gray sword body turned into silver-white, and the sharpness, hardness, and strength of the sword body were greatly improved, while the weight also increased.

Fortunately, this is not a burden for Gordon, whose physical fitness is steadily improving.

Rather, it is more handy.

According to Isana, the biggest advantage of metal weapons is that they are strong!

The sharpness and power of the Explosion Blade·Kai are on par with the giant scissors, but it is not so easy for the general sickle crab to destroy the Explosion Blade·Kai.

Compared to the claws of the Daimyo Shield Crab, steel has stronger toughness, and the reborn Explosive Blade·Kai also gave Gordon more confidence.

"Let's try it again!"

P. The saying that the heavy crossbow is suitable for team play but not for solo play has nothing to do with the experience of the heavy crossbow in the game, but it seems that this is what the official design was considered at the beginning--
