Since the shooter teammate he cooperated with this time was not Anhill, who likes to shoot with bullets, Gordon paid more attention to avoiding the shooting boundary.
Try to stay out of the muzzle of the gun and form a three-point line between the monsters.
But he soon discovered that it didn't seem necessary.
Although her fighting style is different from Ancil's, Nadia's shooting skills are equally superb.
The former is accustomed to staying in one shooting position for a long time, using high-precision sniping to provide seemingly dangerous precision support.
The latter relies on the mobility of the light ballista to frequently move positions, looking for angles and opportunities to launch attacks.
Julius was about to emerge from the afterimage of ghosts and men dancing wildly. Even if Ancil came, he was not sure of wiping the bullet, so Nadia adopted another form of support.
Due to the limitation of endurance, it is impossible for the demon's flurry to last for a long time. Whenever Julius's attack pauses, her shot will appear from the side to fill the gap.
With the tacit cooperation between the two, the offensive continued.
No wonder she was spotted by that arrogant Julius and became a regular teammate. The strength and talent of this young female shooter are at the top level.
In other words, this analysis also relieved a long-standing doubt in Gordon's mind.
Ancil and Julius, who have known each other for a long time and became famous together and were even called the "Twin Stars", why didn't they form a partnership?
Julius is obviously not the kind of person who is timid and doesn't trust his teammates.
It turned out that it wasn't some messy reason like personality discord, it was simply that the two's fighting styles didn't match.
——The ghost man was dancing around and couldn't clear the bullet. Carrying the heavy crossbow, Ancil couldn't move around with the flexible Julius.
When Julius and Nadia completed a set of coordination, Gordon finally rushed to the beetle.
Noticing the latter's approach with his peripheral vision, Julius immediately adjusted his position sideways.
Due to the previous high-speed combo, Toru Beetle, whose attention had long been firmly attracted by the Dual Sword User, began to turn around with him, ignoring the Great Sword User coming from behind.
Gordon smiled, and Tieshan passed through the stages of charged slash and strong charged slash, and directly began to prepare the true charged slash with the largest attack range and power.
"drink."
Exhale and exert force, and release the true charged slash completed at the fastest speed.
In front of the Explosive Knife Kai, hunting a Toru Beetle carapace with a danger level of only two stars alone is not considered strong.
The steel claws successfully broke through the carapace on its back, and before it had time to react, a surprisingly powerful second slash came roaring out.
The hook-shaped blade was embedded deeply into the beetle's body. As the sword continued to be dragged, the carapace and flesh were instantly shattered.
"Zhizhi——"
The beetle's mouthparts trembled and made a harsh sound.
Important muscle groups on its back were damaged, and its flying movements were somewhat affected. Its body, which was considered very large among insects, tilted to one side, but it still turned to Gordon persistently.
The sickle-shaped forelimbs slashed at the hunter in front of it.
In the crustacean's uncomplicated thinking, whose attack hurts it more is a greater threat.
Gordon knew very well that there was no need for him to take the risk of attacking the beetle at the moment, he could just attract the prey's attention.
Block with sword, defensive posture!
The attack power of the Toru Beetle's sickle limb was only average, and several consecutive attacks failed to break Gordon's defense. They only threw a few sparks on the thick surface of the Explosive Knife.
"pretty."
Julius behind the beetle gave a light praise and entered the ghost-human state again.
The ghosts are dancing wildly!
Carapace, green blood, and insect wing fragments were scattered in all directions.
The beetle, whose wings were damaged again, could no longer maintain its flying posture and fell from the air.
The high-speed trembling wings repeatedly beat the ground, splashing earth and rocks. It still looked very energetic, but the hunters all knew that it no longer had the ability to resist.
"Nadia, save your ammunition, Gordon, we will fight quickly."
The hunting process of the first thug beetle went surprisingly smoothly.
Pork Chop didn't even find a chance to make a move.
Before the sun began to set, they finished hunting and stripping, and returned to the camp with the "horns of the beetle."
Of course they also knew that this time it was mainly due to luck that they encountered the lone Thor Beetle, while the really dangerous Heavy Beetle was not nearby.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to achieve this feeling of being crushed all the way.
After returning to the camp and taking a short rest, a few people built a campfire, took out food and chatted while eating.
"Tell me, is it possible for us to change our strategy?"
Nadia held the food in her mouth and while disassembling and inspecting the light crossbow fire dragon cannon, she suggested: "After marking the heavy beetle with dye bombs, let's walk around it and hunt for the lone Thor beetle."
Julius thought carefully about Miss Light Crossbow Messenger's suggestion and shook his head.
"I don't think it's feasible. We were able to find this beetle today only by relying on the nose of the pig chop, and we found the remains left by the beetle's predation.
If other beetles haven't eaten for a short period of time, how do we determine their location? "
"Yes." Nadia nodded, no longer worrying about changing her strategy.
As Julius said, beetles are good at flying and rarely leave traces of their whereabouts except for hunting.
The skills that hunters usually use to track monster tracks are almost completely useless at this time. In this case, it is better to surround the heavy beetles and wait for the thorough beetles to come one by one.
They also discussed the attacking movements of the Zhente Beetle.
The Toru Beetle just now was unable to perform the straight-line collision that the Toru Beetle is famous for because it was suppressed throughout the entire process. Julius emphatically reminded Nadia to be careful with this move.
He himself was flexible enough. Gordon had thick armor and was protected by a sword. Only Nadia, who looked like she was not wearing any armor, had the least room for error.
Even if the Toru Beetle is only a two-star danger level monster, if it is hit head-on, the best result is serious injury.
After the discussion was almost complete, several people began to do their own things.
In fact, there is nothing else that hunters can do in the hunting camp, other than maintaining their weapons and checking their armor.
Whether it is Julius's chainsword-style double swords or Nadia's light crossbow, they are both very troublesome to maintain. Only Gordon's explosive knife Kai is the easiest to tinker with.
After carefully wiping the blood on the blade with a coarse cloth, and then applying oil on the blade, it's almost done.
Feeling a little idle, Gordon picked up the sharp horn of the beetle and looked around.
This section of horn is orange-red and about half a meter long. It is actually just the tip of the giant horn of the beetle, which accounts for almost half of the entire body length.
It's as sharp as an awl, with a shiny and shiny surface unique to chitin, and is surprisingly light to hold.
Looking inside from the fracture, it is semi-hollow, but it is supported by a complex geometric structure. This may be the main reason why it is light and strong.
"Master wants to use this research as cannonballs."
Gordon pointed out, "Aren't cannonballs generally round?"
Before Julius could speak, Nadia, a shooter, spoke first, "Actually, as long as the problem of cannonball roll can be solved, this cone-shaped cannonball has many advantages over spherical cannonballs.
Longer range, several times the armor-piercing ability, smaller caliber requirements, etc. Wait, look at crossbow shells and arrows, aren’t the front ends pointed? "
"I see."
"I want to see it too! Let me see it, meow!" Pig Chop was also jumping to the side.
Gordon handed it the sharp horn and asked curiously: "Will this also be helpful to your explosives research?"
"It's Meow!"
Pork Chop stuck its head into the sharp corner.
"I'm currently developing something called a 'rocket', meow!"
"?"
(There is another chapter in the evening)
Ps.
The technology tree of Ellu (and the Strange Face Tribe of the New World) is full of a green-skin smell that "I'm thinking about".
Especially the promotional video of MH3 or MH4 back then? That cat's nut spaceship in the desert where we were fighting the Dragon was really impressive to me.
