The armor-piercing grenade landed on the side of the Explosive Hammer Dragon, and after a delay of several seconds, a ball of fire exploded.
"Roar--!"
The Explosive Hammer Dragon turned around and roared loudly in the direction of the attack.
Due to the thick carapace on the torso, the armor-piercing grenade did not really damage it, but it did cause it quite a bit of pain.
Most importantly, any creature is not in a good mood when eating is interrupted.
However, just as it opened its huge mouth and let out a menacing roar, a huge arrow wrapped with dazzling propulsive flames shot out quickly and accurately penetrated into its mouth.
The roar of the blaster dragon suddenly stopped, it raised its upper body convulsively, and the arrow almost missed its throat.
"Wow!"
Huo Ya, who was also a bow hunter, couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation.
Among the few people, she is the only one who knows how difficult it is to maximize the power of the Dragon Arrow while ensuring shooting accuracy, perfect timing, and the best angle of entry.
"Shuiyun, push up."
Hilda, who slid back several meters due to the huge recoil, stabilized her body and gave a command in a low voice.
Shui Yun immediately set up her large shield and spear and charged towards the Boomer Dragon, which was roaring in pain.
Huo Ya and An Xil also followed immediately.
As long as the vanguard blocks the target monster and starts a fixed battle, the shooter can enter the mid-range or even closer position, thereby improving the power and accuracy of the crossbow arrow shooting.
Hilda took a circuitous route and rushed to the rear of the blaster dragon.
She is good at covert reconnaissance. Most of the time, she goes deep into hunting grounds alone. It has been a long time since she participated in such a hunt with monsters head-on.
"I still miss it a little bit."
Hilda muttered to herself, and when she walked quickly past the blaster dragon, she suddenly turned around and slid forward, using the inertia of her turn to fully draw the bowstring in one breath, and several arrows shot out.
After finishing the shooting, she paused for a moment. While turning the big bow horizontally with her left hand, she wiped the quiver on her waist with her right hand and put five more arrows on the bowstring.
With her sudden exertion, the bowstring made a buzzing sound.
Just cum!
In less than two seconds, she fired her bow twice and shot nearly ten arrows into the blaster dragon's thigh.
The densely packed arrows looked like targets.
The Explosive Hammer Dragon howled in pain, subconsciously swung its giant tail, and slammed into Hilda beside it.
Hilda slid down again and easily avoided the blow.
A trace of angry red light flashed in her eyes under the black gauze mask, but she did not immediately fire her bow to fight back. Instead, she continued to step forward and circled behind the blaster dragon.
The Explosive Hammer Dragon, which turned its head and was about to bite the enemy beside it, was stunned for a moment. It felt as if something was running past, but it didn't see it clearly.
Shui Yun in front of him immediately stabbed out his spear continuously, forcing the attention of the Explosive Hammer Dragon back.
Anhil found a good angle, crouched down, raised the heavy crossbow, and entered the crouching shooting mode. Countless water-cooled bullets bombarded the Explosive Hammer Dragon at extremely fast speeds, continuously weakening its physical strength.
This is the most powerful thing about heavy crossbows. As long as the heavy crossbows are given a relatively stable attack environment, their firepower delivery capabilities will be unmatched.
An Xil, who was shooting at the target with all his strength, suddenly caught a glimpse of Huo Yagao raising his hunting bow through the scope.
"Current shot?!"
Ancier was stunned for a moment. He knew that this was a move that bowhunters often used, but mostly when hunting alone.
A top-down attack like a curved shot can sometimes produce surprising effects, but it is difficult to accurately control the landing point.
In multi-person hunting, especially when there are swordsmen around monsters, bow hunters generally do not use curved shots, and it is very easy to accidentally injure teammates.
Before he could issue a warning, Huo Ya loosened his bow string, and the specially made arrow shot into the air with a bulging cloth bag.
The cloth bag spread out in the air, and the objects wrapped in it fell towards the head of the Explosive Hammer Dragon, covering the water cloud that was restraining the Explosive Hammer Dragon from the front.
Ancil's shooting paused for a moment, and he was about to replace it with recovery ammunition.
The cloth bags used by bow hunters for straight shooting are usually filled with heavy and sharp iron caltrops or spiked iron balls.
Even if you have to risk a direct shot, there is no need to follow the position of your swordsman teammates.
Are you afraid this sister of yours wasn’t given in a lottery?
But the scene that happened next made Ancil realize that he had underestimated the twins' tacit understanding and ignored the subtle differences in hunting methods between different regions.
What fell in the air was not the caltrops he had imagined, but a vast amount of medicine dust.
Of course, Anhil couldn't tell what kind of dust it was. Shui Yun was not injured yet, so it couldn't be life dust. It was just ghost dust, hardened dust, etc.
Anhir was relieved.
Although the dragon sisters are not the kind of full-time hunters who focus solely on hunting, they have already reached the five-star level. No matter how reckless they are, they will not make such a low-level mistake. It is because they think too much.
Maybe it was because of the continuous heavy attacks from the hunters, or maybe it was because of the dust from the potion, but the Boomer Dragon became angry.
It growled and took a big step forward, turning its fat body around.
The movement of the Explosive Hammer Dragon was not fast. Shuiyun put up the large shield in time, squatted down, tilted the shield back, and entered a solid defensive posture.
"boom!"
The thick giant tail covered with metal prisms slapped the big shield horizontally, knocking Shui Yun back a long distance, but her defensive posture remained stable, her center of gravity was steady, and her steps were not disordered.
Anhill, who always paid some attention to the situation of his teammates, suddenly realized that the reason why Feng Ying was not a qualified forward was that weight was not the key, but skills.
Deficiencies in body shape and weight can largely be compensated for through skill.
Shuiyun is more than ten centimeters taller than Fengying, and weighs up to twenty kilograms more. In front of the monster, this size difference is almost nothing.
When Shui Yun defended herself from the attack just now, her center of gravity was lower than that of the tall vanguards, and the angle of her shield was also adjusted.
Coupled with her excellent strength and balance, this may be the main reason why she can stand firm in front of such a powerful attack.
Feng Ying should be able to learn similar skills after spending enough time and pain, but it won't be as fast as someone teaching her.
But neither Gordon, Hayata, nor himself could teach her this.
Gordon was able to learn by analogy through the sword technique and give instructions on how to use Fengying's giant axe. Hayata could guide her in steps, body skills, movement coordination, etc., and he could force her to endorse it.
But none of them had experience with large shields.
The team needs Feng Ying to make up for the shortcomings in defense. The reason why Feng Ying has not made progress in this area is that the team is too offensive and no one can teach her how to defend.
If this continues, their team will only become more and more reckless. This seems to be an endless cycle.
Anhil felt his head hurt, and he quickly focused his attention back on the monster in front of him.
Let's discuss it with Gordon and the others after we go back. If we continue to use actual combat to force Feng Ying's combat power, the child may collapse without fully laying a solid foundation.
