Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1607 [Claws of the Wasteland 11] A sledgehammer can also break a dragon chariot!

Chapter 1607 [Claws of the Wasteland 11] A sledgehammer can also break a dragon chariot!

After accumulating strength at the fastest speed, Mary's already extremely developed muscles expanded again, and the sledgehammer in her hand seemed to be on fire, with a layer of red-gold fighting spirit flames.

Next, she did not stand there stupidly, waiting for Honglong to come in the form of the strongest dragon chariot.

Instead, he held the sledgehammer at an angle, continued to accumulate strength, and ran to the side.

Once many large monsters start a dragon chariot charge, the direction of the charge cannot be changed.

But for this pair of dragons with amazing limb strength, it is not difficult to adjust the charge path during the dragon chariot process.

The bloodshot eyes of the dragon stared at the hunter. Amid the dancing yellow sand, the powerful dragon chariot drew an arc on the sand and continued to chase the hunter.

As Marydan ran slowly, her eyes were fixed on the Honglong without blinking.

Unlike the greatsword's true charged slash that puts all of its strength into one strike, the hammer's charging is more flexible, and it can even move during the charging process.

Of course, she had her own purpose for jogging when the dragon carriage was approaching dangerously fast.

It is true that the hook claw is strong enough to change direction in the dragon chariot, but no matter how strong it is, it cannot change one fact.

——The speed of a straight-line charge is always the fastest and the power is definitely the strongest.

Once the direction changes in the middle of the journey, not only will the forward force be dispersed, but the inertia of the charge must also be fought against during the turning process, causing the power of the dragon car to drop by at least one level.

Hookclaw didn't care much.

In its experience, even though the power of the dragon chariot would be reduced due to turning and changing direction, there were still few opponents who could withstand its attack head-on.

At least not for small creatures like hunters.

However, it underestimated the hunters' strength and skills.

When the distance between her and the Boom Dragon was only twenty meters, Marydan stopped moving. She poured all the strength she had accumulated into her arms, roared, and swung the sledgehammer.

The last ten meters.

Following the inertia of the swinging sledgehammer, Marydan used her heels as the axis and rotated her entire body, while exerting further force to continuously add new power to the sledgehammer.

The last five meters.

Under the repeated accumulation of inertia and force, the power carried by the huge hammer head has reached its limit. Even if it continues to be swung half a circle longer, the hammer may slip out of the hand uncontrollably.

At this time, the Boom Dragon opened its bloody mouth almost to ninety degrees and came in front of the hunter.

Everything is under control.

Accumulate power and strike hard!

With a whistling sound that broke through the wind, the giant hammer accurately hit the top of the dragon's head. Amid the crisp sound of the shell shattering, the fighting spirit exploded.

The huge mouth of the dragon was forcibly smashed shut, and at the same time, the ferocious head was swung to the ground.

The inertia of the dragon chariot cannot be eliminated with just one hammer. What Marydan did was to disrupt the balance of the dragon through a powerful hammer.

It's like a knight holding a lance and charging at full speed. If he lowers the tip of the lance and pokes it into the ground during the charge, the only outcome will be that he will fly forward.

The same thing happened to the Honglong whose dragon chariot was interrupted.

Its head stuck into the sand, and its whole body uncontrollably flipped forward and fell onto the sand.

In the distance, Huali, who was drinking recovery medicine and treating her own injuries, was stunned.

Stopping the dragon chariot by force is something that the dual-sword users will never be able to do in their entire lives.

It’s no surprise that the Boom Dragon broke its own neck with this move. Is this the strength of a veteran top hunter?

However, in fact, Mary Dan was not as relaxed as she appeared.

She had avoided standing in a frontal position to facilitate the unloading of force. At the moment of attack, she relied more on the inertia of the sledgehammer rather than the strength of her arms. With her experience and skills, she did everything to the best of her ability.

But even so, the impact of the dragon cart and the sledgehammer touching each other still caused her to suffer serious injuries.

“I’m still old”

Looking at her opponent who was struggling on the ground and unable to get up for a while, Mary sighed secretly.

If she were twenty years younger, no, ten years younger, she would choose to take a gamble and take advantage of this opportunity to rush forward and give Huang Gou Zhua a ruthless blow on the head.

Then try to see if there is a chance to kill this guy here.

but now.

She is already sixty years old. Even though she can burst out with combat power that is not inferior to her peak period in a short period of time, her physical strength is no longer as good as before.

The Hook Claw is not an opponent that can be dealt with by just a rash move or a reckless charge.

Without perfect preparation and teammates who are strong enough to cooperate with you, if you continue to fight, you will sooner or later fall into a disadvantage again.

By then, not only her, but everyone else would be in a dilemma from which they would be unable to escape.

"retreat!"

Having made up her mind, Marydan put away the sledgehammer and gestured towards Huali in the distance.

The latter was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded vigorously.

The two of them climbed up the sand dune as quickly as possible. Huali was about to slide down over the ridge of the dune when she saw Marydan stop, take out a paralysis trap, and complete the installation in just a few seconds.

"go!"

After the two slid down the sand dune and ran out for a while, they heard the roar of a dragon coming from behind.

Obviously, the dragon stepped into the paralysis trap, which bought them a lot of time to retreat.

Mary Dan chuckled, took out another pit trap and started installing it on the spot.

He also took the time to explain: "The Honglong has the ability to fly, but it is not very good at it. Most of the time, it glides from high altitudes.

The top of that big sand dune is a good place to glide, so we need to use a trap to trap it to prevent it from using the terrain to take off.

Once it breaks free from the paralysis trap, it will definitely become very angry. A dragon in a furious state will rarely choose to fly. It will follow our scent and continue to chase us on foot.

This pit trap can hold it for a while longer, and this"

As he was speaking, the explosives built into the pitfall trap blew a large hole in the soft sand, and a large sticky net was spread out, and the pitfall trap was set up.

Marydan took out a few fertilizer bombs and threw them into the pit trap. Huali could understand this part without her explaining it.

When the dragon falls into the pit trap, it will break the fertilizer bombs while struggling, and the foul-smelling contents will cover its body, seriously interfering with its sense of smell.

After completing the arrangement, the two continued to run at full speed. Just as Marydan expected, not long after, the angry roar of the Honglong was heard again from behind.

At the same time, they saw a sand boat coming quickly in this direction.

Marydan shouted and waved her hand vigorously. The sand boat received the signal and adjusted its direction, made a clever turn and stopped beside the two of them.

"Did you get rid of that dragon?" Haifa, holding the rudder under his arm, reached out to help pull Huali onto the sand boat, then turned around and said with a smile: "As expected of my mother, you are an expert on dragons!"

Marydan pushed the side of the boat with her hand, turned over and jumped onto the sand boat, and the whole boat shook.

She scolded, "Stop talking nonsense, kid! Start the boat quickly, we are still chasing after us. If we are caught, we will all die here!"

“Roar, ga ga ga——!!!”

Haifa was startled by the violent and angry shouts coming from behind. She quickly adjusted the sails, filled the sails, and increased the speed of the boat as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, luck was on their side this time.

The desert night wind blew, the speed of the sand boat was getting faster and faster, and the roar of the terrifying dragon was getting farther and farther away.

After dealing with Honglong all the way, Huali, who had been tense all night, let out a long sigh and leaned against the side of the boat, feeling a little exhausted.

Only then did she notice that there was a person huddled on the sand boat - it was the young man from the nomadic village.

He was wrapped in a blanket, hugging his knees, lowering his head, and huddled in a corner without saying a word.

Huali remembered something and turned to ask Haifa, "Where are the other survivors? Have they been arranged to take refuge in the camp?"

Haifa, who was teasing his mother about "You would actually retreat?", lost his smile when he heard this.

"He is the last survivor."

"Impossible!" Huali cried out subconsciously, "When I arrived at the village, I saw several survivors, and I saved one with my own hands. How is this possible?"

Huali's voice became smaller and smaller.

Yes, it is true that she held back the most dangerous dragon, but who could stop the yellow dragons that were hunting everywhere at that time?

Huali's gaze fell on the dazed boy who looked like a puppet.

It was as if I saw myself back then.

----

ps. This chapter ends here for now. I have no intention of getting rid of the Wild Hook Claw here. This thing...is unlikely to be solved by an old hunter and two lower-level hunters.

Some people may guess that the "boy" who was described in this chapter with so much ink but did not even have a name will have a sequel.

That’s right! If I plan to write about the wilderness in the future, this character will probably be the protagonist of the wilderness part. In that case, this [Claws of the Wasteland] will be the prequel.

But to be honest, I haven't figured out how to get the protagonist of the next book involved in the wilderness plot. It's not impossible to directly replace the protagonist of the game, but that would be equivalent to rewriting the game plot again, which seems to be rather boring.

We will have to wait until the game comes out and look at the plot and settings to find out the details.
