Chapter 251: Despicable Trap Hunter
The fiery explosion instantly engulfed a large area on the rock dragon's flank. The huge impact force caused rock fragments to fly everywhere. The broken stones cut through the air like sharp blades. The rock dragon's painful roar echoed on the sand plain, which was heart-wrenching.
“It feels so good.”
Although shooting with a rifle does not provide the same thrill of hitting the target with one shot as shooting with a heavy crossbow, listening to the roar of the explosion at close range is also one of the romances of a man. Link raised his shield to block the flying debris and let out a sigh.
"Roar!"
However, the injured rock dragon did not fall so easily. With an even more violent roar, the rock dragon flapped its wings and launched a powerful attack...
A drift with very limited power.
The Pokémon Rockdrake uses Tail Shake, and Link's defense is reduced.
Because the rock dragon was still young, its tail was very short and had no deterrent effect at all, causing Link to almost laugh out loud.
Not to mention, the way this guy shakes his tail is like a little boy in open-crotch pants shaking an elephant. It's cute and not threatening at all.
Unlike its adult form, its tail is thick and strong, and can easily hit the Red Armored Beast like a ball.
After turning clockwise, the Rock Dragon finally saw Link, who was holding his gun and charging, with his only remaining right eye.
"Nihao, goodbye!"
Link, who had been waiting in advance, curled the corners of his mouth under the visor, lowered the muzzle of his gun slightly, and attacked the plastron under the rock dragon's head without hesitation.
"boom--!"
"Roar!"
Flames flew everywhere, and the dragon-strike cannon cut through the air with destructive power, directly hitting the rock dragon's thick plastron.
The shock wave of the explosion instantly tore through the rock dragon's scales. The rock dragon let out a shrill roar, the sound shaking the sand plain. Its voice was full of pain. Obviously, this blow caused very serious damage to it.
As he waited for the smoke to clear, Link saw the scarred form of the rock dragon.
It stood trembling a little, with the scales on its abdomen shattered, revealing the pink tender flesh underneath. At this moment, several sharp rocks were embedded in the flesh, and blood was dripping down, dropping onto the hot sandy ground, making a sizzling sound.
"It is said that the heart of the armored dragon is a real delicacy. As its young, your heart must taste good too."
Link licked his cracked lips and observed the rock dragon's every subtle movement intently.
The more injured the beast is, the more dangerous it is, let alone a behemoth like this that weighs tons. As long as it hasn't fallen, the battle is not over.
Sure enough, the rock dragon shook its head to get rid of the dizziness brought by the pain, and its angry one eye stared at Link with hatred, then it moved its feet and charged at him.
Seeing this, Link curled his lips and took a few steps back, retreating behind the trap.
“Good luck, good luck!”
In an instant, the paralysis trap that Chuchu had set up in advance was stepped on by Yanlong, emitting a dazzling arc of electricity.
The electric arc ignored the rocky shell on the rock dragon's body and drilled into its body through the gaps, paralyzing its muscles and nerves, leaving it unable to move and standing still, becoming Link's target.
"ended."
Pointing the sharp rifle at the broken chest of the rock dragon, Link muttered something, exerted a little force, and pierced the rock dragon's heart with the tip of the rifle.
"!"
The heart of the Rock Dragon was pierced, and its body suddenly stiffened. Hot blood flowed down the gun and soaked Link's wrist armor. After he pulled out the gun mercilessly, the huge body suddenly lost power and fell heavily to the ground.
"Whoo~"
Letting out a long sigh, Link swung his rifle violently to shake off the blood on it, took out a whetstone from his backpack, half-knelt on the ground, and carefully polished the tip of the rifle.
After the blade was polished, he hung the gun rifle back on his back and quietly watched the Felyne support team rushing towards him from afar.
That was Chu Chu calling after she released a signal flare after confirming the battle was over.
As usual, it was the process of submitting the task. Link ordered the support team from Jieyun Village to transport the body of the rock dragon to Yanhuo Village, and then took a few pieces of good meat from the rock dragon for today's dinner.
"Okay, let's get ready to go back."
After carefully wrapping the rock dragon's pierced heart in oil paper and putting it into the prop bag, Link led the cat and walked in the direction the support team had just left.
-
As night falls, the desert is completely silent. Unlike the scorching hot day, the cold wind at night brings a desolate feeling.
The bonfire crackled, and the jumping flames created a warm glow in the darkness.
Link surveyed the surroundings, and after making sure it was safe, he returned to the fire.
He walked for a long time and his legs felt a little tired, but fortunately he found the cave where he had camped last night.
The burning bonfire drove away the chill of the night.
Link cut the cleaned rock dragon heart into small pieces, each piece was about the same size to ensure even heating during baking.
He strung the cut heart pieces onto wooden sticks, five or six pieces per string, and arranged them neatly on the iron rack.
On the side, Chu Chu was carefully turning the skewers on the iron rack.
Pay close attention to the temperature, and occasionally use your little paws to gently move the iron rack to ensure that each side of the roasted heart is heated evenly.
Link had heard that the heart of a rock dragon was extremely delicious in itself, so in order to taste the original flavor of the roasted rock dragon heart, he did not add any other seasonings except salt.
He lightly sprinkled some fine salt on it. The salt grains melted quickly under the high temperature, seeping into the meat and emitting bursts of tempting aroma.
The flames danced in the night, and the color of the rock dragon's heart gradually changed from bright red to golden yellow, with a layer of oily sheen appearing on the surface.
Link nodded with satisfaction and shared two skewers of perfectly grilled food with Chuchu. The man and the cat were quickly captivated by the delicious food.
The meat of the rock dragon heart is tender and juicy, and the saltiness is just right, perfectly bringing out the deliciousness of the rock dragon heart itself.
Well, to be honest, other than being tender, the meat actually tasted the same as normal barbecued meat, it just had a better texture.
So Link sprinkled chili powder and cumin powder on the rock dragon heart at the back.
In addition to the dragon heart, a pointed rock dragon tail was also placed on the fire.
The tail of the rock dragon is covered with a thick stone shell, which is not only hard but also can keep the meat inside fresh and tender at high temperatures.
Link didn't even bother with tools, he just threw it onto the fire and let the flames burn it.
Due to the characteristics of the rock, this method of roasting does not require worrying about burning, so it is very convenient.
Link only had to flip his tail occasionally to make sure each side was in contact with the flames.
The rock dragon's tail made a slight "sizzling" sound over the fire, its shell gradually became hot, and the meat inside slowly cooked.
Soon after, both the Rock Dragon's Heart and Rock Dragon's Tail emitted an enticing aroma, and Link knew that dinner was ready.
He carefully removed the roasted rock dragon heart skewers and placed them on a large leaf, then removed the rock dragon tail from the fire and placed it on a flat stone slab.
Link and Chuchu sat around the campfire and began to enjoy this sumptuous dinner.
Eating barbecue is definitely accompanied by delicious drinks. Before coming to the sand plain, Link not only prepared cold drinks for the day, but also hot drinks to warm the stomach at night.
It was spicy cabbage soup.
Link took a sip of the warm cabbage soup, took a bite of the dragon heart, and smiled as he watched Chuchu sip the soup.
The meat of the rock dragon tail is firm, and the stone shell becomes red hot under high temperatures, but the meat inside remains extremely tender.
Link used a stone to gently knock open the shell, revealing the tender white meat inside. He broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth, and found that the dragon's tail meat was delicate and had an excellent taste.
After enjoying the delicious food, Link leaned against the wall of the cave, looking at the flickering campfire, his thoughts gradually drifting away.
Today's hunt was very successful. Apart from being chased by a drake halfway through, which made me a little embarrassed, there were no other accidents.
"Well, the hunting of the Boom Dragon must also be put on the agenda."
Thinking of the Boom Dragon today, Link gritted his teeth and missed the taste of the Boom Dragon's tail.
The last time I ate a dragon's tail was in Lokrak.
That time, they were also chased by a drake, and Link and Soran got separated. As a result, the guy came back with a tail the next day.
"I don't know what happened to Soran. Next time I go to East Dorma, I'll go hunting dragons with him."
Thinking of this, Link touched Chuchu who was lying beside him. Her belly was bulging, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with the meal.
The light from the bonfire shone on her face, making her look so peaceful that she could not help but doze off.
As the night deepened, the light from the bonfire flickered in the wind, and the sound of insects chirped from the sandy plains, as if providing an accompaniment to this quiet night.
Link covered Chuchu with a thin blanket and kept watch quietly.
