Standing at the very back, a man wearing a black Velociraptor suit asked.
"here we go again."
The double-sword huntress dropped her shoulders, looking helpless.
"Molly, there is no need to treat everyone you meet as a suspect. This person may have been brought here by other hunting groups to collect materials. I will go and negotiate."
After the male hunter in the female fire dragon suit finished speaking, he quickly ran over to negotiate with Li Fan.
During this time, Li Fan was also observing the other four people.
Male hunters who use heavy crossbows wear four-star hunter badges, and female hunters with double swords wear five-star hunter badges.
The female fire dragon's male hunter is a six-star hunter. Looking at these three people alone, the configuration of the hunting team is not simple.
But what concerned Li Fan even more was the male hunter named Mori who was wearing a Velociraptor suit and no badge.
Velociraptor is a five-star monster, and being able to wear suits made from its materials is a symbol of strength in itself.
However, what is different from other suits is that a large number of people who wear a full set of Velociraptor equipment are members of the assassination organization guild Dark Night.
The main assassination targets of the guild's dark night are those hunters whose serious poaching has caused regional ecological imbalances, caused disasters, or killed other species of the same species.
Li Fan initially read a lot of books brought by Eudora.
I couldn't find any introduction about Guild of Dark Nights, so I felt that this might just be a setting for the background of the game.
But then I gradually felt that it would be abnormal if the trade union Dark Night really recorded it wantonly in books.
The reason why we are so concerned is because if the Union Dark Night really exists, it will definitely be a threat that cannot be ignored for Li Fan.
"Hello, my name is Holler. I am the leader of the union's special expedition. I am currently on a mission to hunt velociraptors nearby. Do you need our help?"
Holler asked cordially.
"Thank you. Just go ahead and do your work. We don't need help."
Li Fan responded.
"Is that so...the other members of the hunting group are nearby, right?"
Holler hesitated and continued to ask.
"I am a lone hunter, my name is Lao Bai, I don't have a hunting group."
"Well, you must protect yourself in the wild."
Without saying anything, Holler took out the sampling bottle hanging from his waist, leaned over the water to collect a small amount of foaming synovial fluid as a sample, and then turned around and left.
It is an established rule for hunters to meet in the wild and help and support each other.
But if someone insists on dying, such as wearing a hunter's leather armor and wandering around an area where velociraptors are infested, naturally no one will disregard their own safety and rescue them without restraint.
"Another blindly confident guy..."
The huntress shook her head and sighed.
"At least in the wet forest, the body decomposes very quickly, so there is no need to collect his body for burial if we encounter him again."
The male hunter said, folding the heavy ballista and mounting it on his back.
"Vic, hunters should bless each other."
Holler, who returned, warned.
"I had the wrong boss."
Vic covered his mouth and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake.
The union's special subjugation group left one after another. Only Mori, wearing a black Velociraptor suit, leaned against the trees and watched for a long time before turning around and disappearing into the jungle.
"This team is so powerful, meow."
Dilu said in admiration.
"Four people dare to hunt velociraptors. They should be considered the top team in the union. Dilu, have you ever seen anyone else wearing a set of velociraptor armors?"
"Uh...what kind of Velociraptor Armor is it?"
Dilu asked.
"Well, this question is too early for you. Let's hide it in the barrel first."
With the intervention of a special crusade group, the production of foaming synovial fluid can only be temporarily stopped.
As for the troubles it might cause, Li Fan made some analysis.
If a person with this equipment goes to the core area of Shuiwu Forest, in the eyes of outsiders, he is seeking death.
But collecting foaming synovial fluid is not illegal.
Except for Mori, who felt a bit gloomy and weird, the other three hunters behaved normally. In addition, the world of monster hunting does not have a tradition of hunters fighting each other.
Li Fan felt that his situation was still very safe.
"The project has to be put on hold for the time being. Let's go hunting the sand dragon."
Li Fan gave suggestions.
Currently, there are three monsters with three stars or above in my hand: Kuku, Can Can, and Puff.
After capturing the Earth Sand Dragon and getting another monster with a three-star rating or above, you can receive a high-level Poké Ball.
By then, when the four-star monster is beaten to the point of death, there should be a good chance of capturing it.
However, Li Fan feels that his hunter star level is a bit low, so he'd better get a promotion when he returns to the village this time.
Climbing back to the camp, one person and one cat washed their bodies with detergent. After being fully prepared, they started heading towards the swamp.
The difficulty in capturing the Earth Sand Dragon is obviously not its combat effectiveness, but how to restrict the Earth Sand Dragon from escaping after being injured.
When Puff meets a velociraptor in the wild, he has no desire to fight.
Even if the Sand Dragon has a cruel temperament, it will most likely just run away when it sees Puff.
But in the hunting experience Li Fan summed up during this period.
It's okay if the monsters don't attack. Once you are truly angered and your brutal personality is fully revealed, you will temporarily ignore the gap in combat power with the enemy.
As long as it is used properly, it should be able to contain the Earth Sand Dragon for a period of time.
Come to the swamp and find the highest hillside.
Li Fan and Di Lu quietly sneaked up, then fell to the ground and climbed to the edge of the hillside.
There are many muddy lakes below. One person and one cat took out their binoculars to observe.
"There are a lot of sand dragon cats here!"
Dilu exclaimed.
For Dilu, who has lived in villages and towns for a long time and only moves around the surrounding areas, it is very rare for three-star monsters to gather on a large scale.
"Find someone stronger."
Since it was used for capture, Li Fan wanted to find a stronger individual.
Most earth sand dragons like to lurk in mire, leaving only their panpipe-shaped crest carapace on the water surface for breathing.
Therefore, by observing the size of the exposed crest carapace, we can determine the actual size of Tusosaurus.
"Here meow."
Di Lu stretched out her cat paw and pointed in a direction.
Li Fan turned around and looked over, exclaiming: "The carapace of this one is obviously bigger than the others, and this is it."
One person and one cat immediately got up and took action.
The carapace on the surface of the earth sand dragon can absorb a large amount of silt on the surface and play a protective role.
Even if this layer of silt is cut off and cleared, if the Sand Dragon enters the quagmire and rolls on its back, a new layer of silt armor will immediately be obtained.
It is very unwise to fight the sand dragon in the quagmire.
At the same time, if the brothers and sisters from the surrounding Tusha Dragon families gather together to besiege, it will only make the hunting more difficult.
So Li Fan decided to lead this sand dragon to other areas first.
Snap!
A stone hit the carapace of the crown and fell into the mire.
The sand dragon that dived into the quagmire remained motionless and did not give any reaction.
"You must be asleep, right?"
Di Lu looked at it and said.
"It seems that conventional methods will no longer work."
After Li Fan finished speaking, he released Kuku.
He asked him to stand by to help him, then he picked up a few stones and slowly came to the edge of the swamp.
There are five stomata on the exposed crest carapace.
Every time you exhale and inhale, you cycle between contraction and expansion very rhythmically.
Li Fan took a slight aim and threw a stone.
Whoosh! The stone slipped into the air hole and blocked it.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!....
When the five pores were filled with stones, the breathing rhythm of the earth sand dragon suddenly changed to only inhalation.
The carapace on the crown began to tremble at a high frequency, sending out circles of ripples in the quagmire.
Woo!!!
There was a sound similar to a train whistle, and a strong airflow erupted from the stomata.
All the stones were shattered and flew into the air.
Wow! Wow!
The quagmire exploded! The shaking earth sand dragon suddenly stood up.
The body, which is more than ten meters long, is covered and wrapped in mud.
Snap! Snap!....
Li Fan ran away quickly amid the rain of silt that exploded and scattered.
The Earth Sand Dragon looked around, trying to see who could be so unethical as to block its blowholes, but it saw Kuku at a glance.
Woo!!!
The stomata at the top of the carapace erupt in unison.
Kuku didn't give up, and yelled wow wow wow, as if to indicate that he was willing to fight.
The Tusandosaurus immediately lowered its head, and after it was level with the ground, its two thick hind limbs began to kick hard on the ground.
The collision seemed unpleasant at first, but as the frequency of kicking on the ground increased, the speed gradually increased, and the sand dragon turned into a speeding train and soon reached directly in front of Kuku.
Wow!
Kuku, who didn't have many options, could only use his giant beak to attack him to deal with the low-headed collision of the earth sand dragon.
The giant beak collided with the crest carapace, sparks flying, and then Kuku was overturned and knocked down.
This is not because Kuku is incompetent in terms of strength, but because the size difference between species is simply too great.
However, Earth Sand Dragon's control and use of power are obviously lacking.
Even though it had hit Kuku, it was unable to stop in time to launch a follow-up attack. Instead, it could only brake and slow down by continuously lowering the crest carapace and embedding it in the soil.
"Kuku! Get out quickly!"
Li Fan shouted.
Kuku immediately flapped his wings and took off.
"Use a runner! Run towards me!"
Li Fan conveyed more specific instructions.
Otherwise, it would be easy for Kuku to fly away, but the Earth Sand Dragon would not be able to continue the pursuit, so it would naturally not take the bait.
The two sides pursued each other for about ten minutes, and the Tusandosaurus was successfully led out of the quagmire area and into the jungle with water flowing under its feet.
Li Fan visually observed that the Tusha Dragon's anger was gradually fading.
There was no longer the momentum of the desperate pursuit just now, and at the same time, he did not make a hasty attack, but silently examined the surrounding environment.
It seemed that he sensed an approaching threat through intuition.
If you release the puffs now, they will most likely be scared away.
It can only be this way...
With a determined look on his face, Li Fan pulled out the jaw blade on his back.
"Li Fan...no! Lao Bai, are you going to fight?"
The frightened Di Lu called the wrong code name in a hurry.
"Well, just in case, I'll leave it to you to throw the dyed balls."
"Good, meow!"
With a firm look on his face, Di Li took out a dye ball and held it tightly in his cat's paws.
"Tosasa Dragon, the gap in the carapace on your head is probably caused by the sword strike."
Li Fan held the knife in both hands and approached slowly.
The Earth Sand Dragon might not be able to understand Li Fan's words, but when he saw a human approaching with a sword in hand, he was stunned for a moment, and then his body trembled slightly and became restless.
Li Fan confirmed his judgment.
This earth sand dragon was attempted to be hunted by a hunter using a tachi.
Through watching Animal World when I was a child, I accumulated some knowledge on the Discovery Channel.
Li Fan knows very well that the world that beasts can perceive is very different from that of humans.
But things that have hurt you will definitely leave a very deep impression.
It is unclear whether the last hunter who came to hunt this sand dragon escaped midway or died in battle unfortunately.
But the image of the hunter holding the sword must have left an indelible mark on his consciousness.
Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, it is completely incomprehensible that such a petite body can cause such horrific harm.
Therefore, the response of the earth sand dragon is either fear and retreat, or anger caused by hatred!
Woo!!! Woo!!!
The pores on the top of the crest carapace erupted again!
Tushalong went into a state of anger before he even fought with Li Fan.
"Eudora said that as long as you experience being attacked, you won't be afraid next time, so you have to take the first step. Besides, I have practiced Taishou for so long, and there is no limit on the weight of the armor, so there is no reason to be certain.
I'll get beaten..."
Li Fan kept summarizing his own advantages with random thoughts to encourage himself.
Kuku saw that the earth sand dragon's attention was completely attracted by Li Fan, and the fireball brewing with flames began to spit out.
However, in the submerged forest, if the fireball falls to the ground, it will be extinguished by the water flow.
Those hit on the Earth Sand Dragon can only scatter and burn on the surface of the mud.
And after the silt was burned for a short time, although the thickness was slightly reduced, it seemed to be closer to the carapace of the earth sand dragon.
"Kuku! Stop spitting fireballs! I'll go first. If you can't withstand it, you can hit me with a bird cart..."
Li Fan was still giving instructions, but the sand dragon was obviously impatient. The carapace on its head smashed into the water, and its legs kicked hard.
There is no invincibility frame for the rolling action here, but monsters with little combat experience and low comprehension ability will also not temporarily adjust their heading angles just before collision.
As long as you observe carefully, you can do it Li Fan!
Li Fan took a deep breath, abandoned the distracting thoughts in his mind, and stared at every movement of the Earth Sand Dragon.
Bang! Bang! Bang!….
The two hind limbs stepped hard on the ground, causing splashes of water to fly.
Woo!!! Woo!!!
A train-like whistle sounded again.
Li Fan found the right moment and rolled to the right.
The impact airflow whizzed past my ears, like a heavy truck passing by.
When Li Fan stood up from the water, he subconsciously glanced at the holding action of the sword, which was still in the standard state.
I did it...I didn't give up the standard holding action that allows me to attack at any time just because a monster is attacking.
Li Fan had no time to celebrate, so he sheathed his sword and ran for the attack quickly.
The earth sand dragon, which was over-impacted, slightly clumsily lowered its crest carapace and continued to brake with its head.
As long as this state can be followed quickly, it can be said that there are flaws in everything.
But when they were about to get close, the Sand Dragon suddenly twisted its body, and chunks of mud kept falling off its carapace.
One lump after another! Soon the area underfoot was covered.
