A few whistles were blown.
After receiving Gordon's signal, he used a bomb barrel to ignite the nitrifying mushrooms of the Peach-haired Beast King, and then chased the few remaining Peach-haired Beasts in the lair, and immediately rushed back to where the pork chops had gone.
The little guy with a keen sense of smell is an expert at tracking odors. The odor residue of dye bombs that ordinary humans can smell is as clear and conspicuous to it as a road sign.
Everything was ready, with an order from Oshula.
The hunt has begun.
At first, the Taomao Beast King was very fast, climbing mountains and forests as if walking on flat ground, and soon put a long distance away from the hunters.
Gordon and the others did not feel anxious about this, nor did they speed up rashly and waste their energy. Instead, they followed the original pace.
Because they all knew that the severely injured Peach-haired Beast King could not run for a long time.
Its quick action was just to get away from the hunters, find a safe place, eat something, and rest to recover from its injuries.
If it weren't for the effect of the dye bomb, maybe it could really escape, but now, it can't escape.
"Looking at the direction, it seems to have turned a corner and ran out of the rainforest and towards the swamp." Gordon said after looking up at the sun and confirming the direction.
"That's right, meow!"
"Oh~, then I probably know where it is going." Urshula's tone became cheerful.
"How to say?"
"After leaving the rainforest zone in this direction, and continuing two kilometers ahead, there is a swamp suitable for mushroom growth, which is the 'dining table' that the peach-haired beasts often visit.
The peach-haired beast king should be planning to go there to look for food and regain his strength. "
Recalling the map of the nearby area in his mind, and comparing the direction they were traveling with the distance mentioned by Oshula, Gordon said with some uncertainty: "That location seems not too far from the camp?"
"Well, it's northwest of the camp, more than one kilometer in a straight line." Oshula, who has been to the wetlands many times, immediately gave a confirmed answer, "If the route hadn't been unfavorable, I could have gone back to replenish ammunition. "
"The crossbow ammunition is almost exhausted?"
Oshu pulled his armed belt and said: "The lv3 ammo is usually used up, the lv2 ammo is less than half used, and there is still a lot left in lv1. Oh, by the way, the flame bombs and penetrating bombs are not used yet, and the armor-piercing grenades are not used. I also brought three."
"Hey, forget about the flame bombs, so you don't have to burn those hairs you've been dreaming about." Gordon chuckled and said, "Then your trip will be in vain again."
"Shut up! You crow's mouth!" Urshula glared.
"Speaking of what a penetrating grenade is, it sounds very powerful."
Oshula stopped suddenly, and Gordon ran forward a few steps alone before turning around and asking, "What happened?"
Oshula stared at him with his hands on his hips and said: "You don't know what a penetrating grenade is? This is common sense, but what about penetrating bombs? What about diffusion bombs, paralysis bombs, and fragmentation bombs?"
Gordon scratched his chin helplessly. His lack of basic knowledge was indeed his biggest flaw. Ernest saw that he was not interested in long-range weapons, so he didn't teach him these.
If you don't know, you just don't know. Gordon didn't show off in a good manner, but admitted generously: "I really don't know about it. I haven't come into contact with a shooter hunter before.
The latter types of ammunition you mentioned can be roughly guessed from their names, but armor-piercing grenades... So what are they used for? Will it explode? "
Urshula grinded his teeth and started running again while patiently explaining: "When working in a team with melee hunters, we generally don't use shotguns and diffusion bombs, as they are prone to accidental injuries.
Penetrating bullets, fragmentation bullets, etc., just take them literally as you said, as do poison bullets, paralysis bullets, sleep bombs, etc.
Armor-piercing grenades are special, and their use is somewhat related to you swordsmen, so listen carefully.
It was a large-scale crossbow grenade that detonated with a delayed detonation. It penetrated into the monster's carapace and then exploded, so it was called an 'armor-piercing grenade'.
We usually use it to attack the monster's head. The deep explosion will cause the monster to faint, which is very useful.
But it must be noted that the explosion of armor-piercing grenade is very powerful. If you get too close, you may be affected and injured.
The main purpose of delayed detonation is to give you time to avoid it. Don't just stand there and get bombed. Do you understand? "
"Yeah! Got it!" Gordon acted like a well-behaved and good student, "Senior Oshula, can you show me what an armor-piercing grenade looks like?"
It will explode! Men love explosions! Except for the explosive barrel of Sleep Slash...
"Here, this is it."
Urshula took off a crossbow shell that was about the same size as her forearm from her belt, waved it in front of Gordon, and took it back before the latter could take it and look at it carefully.
Just kidding, this is a dangerous product, how can it be given to a layman like you to play with?
Although it only lasted a second or two, Gordon, who was very strong, could still clearly see the appearance of the crossbow shell.
It is a full metal shell, iron gray in color, with a sharp steel cone almost as long as a palm at the top, which is used to nail into the monster's carapace. The huge projectile at the back is obviously filled with gunpowder, and there is also a tail fin at the end to stabilize its flight direction. .
It really looks awesome!
Seeing Gordon's envious eyes, Urshula also wanted to show off, "Huh, when I see the Peach-haired Beast King later, I will open your eyes with a few shots!"
"Wow, wow!...Uh, wait, senior Oshura, you just said that this armor-piercing grenade was shot at the monster's head?"
"Of course. It's originally used to stun monsters. What's the point of shooting it in other parts?"
"Did you use this before when you hunted the Peach-haired Beast King?"
"I've used it before!" Osula said matter-of-factly, "I'm telling you, it's super easy to use. If you fire it two or three times, the Peach-haired Beast King will definitely tilt his head and eyes!"
Gordon: "..."
"What's wrong?" Gordon's sudden silence made Urshula confused.
"Oshula-senpai."
"Say something quickly! Don't be so arrogant!"
"It's better not to use armor-piercing grenades against the Peach-haired Beast King for a while."
"Why?"
"Those 'brightly colored hairs' you want, since they can be burned away by flame bombs, they should also be destroyed by armor-piercing grenades."
"..."
"I hunted seven peach-haired beast kings but still couldn't get the materials I wanted. The criminal among them..."
"..."
"It's you!"
"Shut up! Shut up!"
...
Following the scent, after walking out of the rain forest with dense vegetation, the footprints left by the Peach-haired Beast King became much clearer, and many traces of blood could be seen along the way.
Judging from the shape, depth, and distance of the footprints, the Tao Mao Beast King has slowed down and even limped a little. It seems that this run is not easy for it.
It becomes weaker.
Urshula and Gordon, who read this information from the footprints and bloodstains, looked at each other, and they immediately quickened their pace.
——If you can get there before the Tao Mao Beast King eats a lot to regain his strength, everything will become easier.
