One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

Chapter 245: The Dual Blade Warrior's Daily Hurdles

"Okay, just be careful."

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Klein agreed to Chu Chu's proposal.

A nest filled with pine cones is like a warehouse in a fireworks factory. It only takes a spark to detonate it and cause damage to the monster.

Just like natural rockfall traps, sometimes taking advantage of the habits of monsters can slightly improve hunting efficiency.

Chu Chu took into account that it would take time for the pine cones to burn and explode, so she devised a paralysis trap.

Control first, then output.

In this way, even if Scarlet Tengumon woke up because his house was on fire, he would be paralyzed and unable to move, and could only watch the house he had worked so hard to build disappear into thin air.

What a loss.

"Okay, come on."

After making a plan, the man and the cat quietly came to the bottom of the nest again. Link found a safe corner and waited quietly for Chuchu's performance.

Chu Chu nimbly climbed along the tree trunk into the Crimson Tengumon's lair. She had scouted before and found that this guy was sleeping very soundly. With Felyne's agility, it would be almost impossible to wake him up.

After crawling into the nest and carefully avoiding the pine cone shells on the ground, Chuchu stood in front of Scarlet Tengumon with a human-like smirk on her cat face.

She gently placed a small paralysis trap at its feet. She had calculated this location carefully and it was the spot that Scarlet Tengumon would definitely step on after waking up.

After setting up the trap, she placed a small barrel of explosives filled with gunpowder where there were the most pine cones, lit the fuse, and ran away.

Just like a little girl playing mischief.

"Done it, meow."

It was easy to climb up the tree, and even easier to get down. Chuchu quickly slipped back to Link's side and looked up with him to watch the fireworks.

"Oh!"

With a slight sound of a barrel exploding, sporadic burning pine cone shells flew out of the nest, and the flames began to spread and spread.

Under normal circumstances, Link would definitely not do such a thing as setting fire to the mountain and spending the rest of his life in jail, but today the weather was good and the heavy rain allowed him to let go and do something he normally wouldn't dare to do.

"Roar! Aww~"

The Scarlet Tengumon, who was awakened by the explosion, had no time to figure out the situation. Just as he was about to get up, he slapped the trap that Chu Chu had set in advance.

The switch of the trap was pressed, and the lightning bug inside released a huge paralyzing electric current at the moment of death, causing the electrocuted Scarlet Tengumon to howl miserably.

The flames grew stronger and stronger, thick smoke filled the treetops, accompanied by crisp crackling sounds, and Link had the illusion that he was setting off firecrackers during the New Year.

But this is just foreplay, the best is yet to come.

The crackling sounds of the burning pine cone shells gradually increased. At the beginning, it was like a child lighting a firecracker, with only sporadic sounds.

Later it evolved into adults setting off eight-character firecrackers, with crackling sounds continuing one after another.

Finally, there were loud explosions.

In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere shifted from the New Year's Eve to the battlefield in the Middle East. The sound of grenade explosions was endless, and large pieces of burning dead branches flew around with sparks, as dazzling as fireworks, blooming with brilliant colors in the rain.

"Ooohho~"

The Scarlet Tengumon howled in pain after being hit by the pine cone, but Link could tell from its powerful voice that it was not seriously injured.

This guy is an expert at playing with fire. The bright red hair on his body makes him resistant to flames. Combined with his hard scales, the pine cones that can cause serious damage to hunters explode on him, making him look like an adult who has been hit by firecrackers thrown by children.

It would only damage the clothes a little.

"boom!!"

After a while, the burning pine cones exploded in a concentrated manner, tearing the nest apart. The Scarlet Tengumon on the top of the tree suddenly lost its footing and fell down.

"Oh!"

The Scarlet Tengumon hit the ground headfirst and fell dizzy. Before he could recover from the paralysis, he fell into dizziness again.

"good chance."

Link, who had been prepared, turned the double swords in his hands, threw the Kinsect, and started with a dazzling wire worm skill.

Spiral air slash

With the help of the pulling force of the iron wire, it rotates its body while rushing forward quickly, releasing continuous slashing attacks like an electric drill.

It was extremely powerful. Phyllis had used a similar trick before and killed the Kappa Frog with one move.

And Link...

Cut the air.

"Fuck, how can this move fly into the sky?"

Link flew over the head of Scarlet Tengumon, covering his dizzy forehead and asking a soul-searching question.

Soon, Link found the reason.

It's not that he has technical problems.

It's simply that Scarlet Tengumon is too short.

This move was originally used to deal with large monsters. It is normal for it to fail when used to attack small or medium-sized monsters.

What's more, the Scarlet Tengumon is now lying flat on the ground, so it's not surprising that it can cut through the air.

"Never mind, let's do it again."

As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. After the failure just now, Link has grasped the problem.

He kicked his legs, leaped up, and when the time was right, he threw out the Kinsect again.

Spiral slash!

The blade whirlwind gyroscope that fell from the sky was spinning at an extremely high speed. The sharp Green Water Dragon Curved Blade Knife carried a misty blue aura, giving this move a mysterious veil.

The surrounding air was torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound. This move, carrying endless murderous intent, went straight to the back of the Scarlet Tengumon.

"Swish, swish, swish."

With scarlet hair flying all over the sky and blood splattering everywhere, the sharp edge was invincible and the monster's body could not withstand the attack at all.

The Scarlet Tengumon's hair fluttered in the air, like blood-colored petals, looking so fragile.

Accompanied by a strong air wave and impact, Scarlet Tengumon howled in pain, and its body, which was quite large compared to a human, was pushed, leaving a clear mark on the ground.

"Roar!"

The fallen Scarlet Tengumon roared, clenched the five finger-like claws on its tail into fists, and swung them violently, smashing towards Link.

Faced with this attack, Link was extremely calm. After a brief thought, he decided to take it head-on.

It is not difficult to see from the size of Scarlet Tengumon that it is not a monster known for its strength.

"Oh!"

There was a soft sound, and Link felt a slight sting in his folded arms.

Blocked by the armor, the attack did not cause much damage to Link. He nimbly turned over to relieve the force on his body, crossed his feet continuously, and took the opportunity to move away from the Scarlet Tengumon.

"Squeak!"

Scarlet Tengumon touched the wound on its back with its tail. The pain caused the monster to lose its mind and it reached for the sac in its abdomen with both hands, trying to throw pine cones at Link.

However, this guy forgot that all the pine cones he had just collected on the tree were ignited and exploded.

“…Puff.”

After a brief moment of daze, Link sneered, issuing an obvious challenge.

"Squeak!"

The Scarlet Tengumon was furious, and its long tail drew traces in the air like a whip, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

Its wings suddenly spread out, bringing with them a strong wind, and its entire body began to spin at an extremely fast speed like a huge gyroscope.

Its sharp claws and pointed beak left lightning-like tracks in the air, as if tearing into pieces all obstacles that blocked it.

This was a spiral dance move that was extremely similar to the one used by the Kamaitachi Dragon King. Link didn't dare to take this continuous attack head-on and immediately dodged sideways.

The attack of Scarlet Tengumon narrowly missed him, bringing up a gust of wind that almost blew off his handsome armor.

The most dangerous thing about monsters is their continuous attacks. If you are hit once, you will lose the initiative and be hit the second and third time.

Until he was knocked to the ground and could no longer fight back.

"Sure enough, I made the right choice by choosing the dual swords. If I had held up the sledgehammer and the greatsword, it would have been difficult to dodge this kind of attack."

Having said that, the greatsword and the sledgehammer also have their own ways of dealing with the situation. At worst, they can just fight head-on. Anyway, the power of the Scarlet Tengumon is not strong, so if they wrestle, it is still unknown who will win or lose.

But Link doesn't like taking risks, so in order to be safe, he chose the agile dual swords.

The main reason was that it was too painful to chase the monsters with a sledgehammer and a big sword, and he didn't want to do such a stupid thing.

Scarlet Tengumon's whirlwind attack did not end. After rushing out more than ten meters, it adjusted its angle and rushed towards Link again.

Link used the powerful mobility of his transformation into a demon to keep moving between the attacks of Scarlet Tengumon, and occasionally counterattacked with a few strikes.

The Scarlet Tengumon obviously noticed Link's change. It stopped its spiral dance, tilted its head to look at Link, and with a leap, landed lightly on a tall pine tree. The branches trembled slightly under its weight, and its hand-like tail firmly grasped the trunk, providing it with a fulcrum.
