XXXVIII. Approaching the battle
"If you look closely at the direction of the rain clouds in the sky, the steel dragon is just below that central point. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The validity period of the dyed orb was greatly reduced in front of the steel dragon who could manipulate the wind and weather, and it was no longer valid at this time, but with the observation of the ancient dragon observation bureau and the experience of the red star, they still quickly found the place where the steel dragon stayed.
This battle between the most elite hunter squad of mankind and the ancient dragon monster Steel Dragon, which reigns at the apex of nature, is a battle that even the hunters' most reliable helper, Elu Cat, cannot intervene - they are almost incapacitated under the dragon power and wind pressure of the steel dragon, and they will only be a burden.
Red Star's popular science time continues.
"While there are legends that steel dragons are capable of manipulating wind and weather, this statement is not actually accurate."
After a few days of trekking, Yinyue pestered Red Star like a child of "100,000 whys" and asked this and that, well, she is indeed a child.
Red Star, who has developed a habit, sometimes doesn't wait for Yinyue to ask, and he explains it first.
"To be precise, the only thing that the steel dragon can manipulate is the wind, and when it manipulates the wind, it will unconsciously use the wind to drive the clouds in the sky, such as this kind of rainstorm, which is generated by the wind driving a large number of nearby rain clouds to converge."
"The most favorable circumstantial evidence is that it can only cause heavy rain in a very humid environment such as dense forests, in snow-capped mountains, it can only cause snowstorms, and in deserts, where rain clouds are extremely rare, it can only cause sandstorms."
"Well, I see." Yinyue's ambition is not to become a scholar, her thirst for knowledge is only out of interest, so although Red Star's explanation is simple and easy to understand, she still listens a little ignorant due to her weak foundation.
"We're getting close to it." Red Star didn't bother with her, he said to the rock.
"Well, everyone stop and rest." Rock said to the rest of the team.
In a rainstorm, unless you wear a simple and cool unicorn suit like Silver Moon, whether it accumulates in your shoes or seeps into your equipment, it will bring great trouble to hunters, and these troubles will become fatal elements in battle, so waterproof preparation is essential.
In addition, the status also needs to be adjusted in place.
Everyone slowly wiped the weapons in their hands, and the atmosphere before the big battle was very heavy.
Only the red star unhurriedly put the prepared props in the most convenient position one by one.
He glanced cautiously at the others, and no one was paying attention to him.
He took the sapphire flake that scared the steel dragon out of his pocket and quietly slipped it back into his bag.
He wasn't prepared to leave himself a way out.
Hongxing, who did all this, took the time to take a look at everyone's equipment, and under his suggestion, Yinyue's sword has been changed from the frost sword of ice attribute attack to the "Thunder God Sword Qilin" of thunder attribute attack, with the help of the power of awakening, catalyzing the potential of the weapon, and the "attribute attack" skill awakened on the Qilin suit that can increase the all-attribute attack, now Yinyue gently swings this thunder sword, there will be a strong thunder light visible to the naked eye on the blade of the sword, and the power is amazing.
Hawkeye's weapons have also been replaced with "Electric Shock Bomb", which can use thunder attacks, and "Poison Bomb", "Paralysis Bomb", and "Sleep Bomb", which can use poison, paralysis, and sleep special attacks, "Sandstorm", mainly to restrict and control the movement of the steel dragon.
On the other hand, Red Star has been hunting in the dense forest area for more than a year, and the news has been delayed, and only now do I know that the Hunters Guild has divided crossbows into two categories: "Light Crossbow" and "Heavy Crossbow" according to their weight, flexibility and attack performance, which is more convenient for crossbow hunters to use and choose.
As for the spear hunter rock for the main defense, and the big sword hunter Hero, which is more suitable for physical output, the weapons of the two of them have not been replaced.
Spear Hunter Rock is responsible for the frontal defense in the battle against the Steel Dragon, the Kataku Sword Hunter Silver Moon is pinned down on the side, the Light Crossbow Hunter Hawkeye is restrained and controlled from a distance, and the Mighty Wrist is responsible for the ultra-high damage charged attack at the right time, and the Red Star is waiting for the opportunity to move, this is the combat configuration of this temporary five-person team.
Red Star still remembers that in the opening animation of "Monster Hunter 2", in the face of the attack of the steel dragon, the four hunters who rose up to resist, their weapon configurations were: the weapon "Taidao", which has just flourished in this world, the weapon "Hunting Flute", which requires high musical literacy and is very difficult to use and rarely used, the gunpowder weapon "Gun", which is rumored to be in development, and the long-range weapon "Bow", which he has never seen or heard of in this world.
Sometimes, from time to time, Red Star would wonder if if he hadn't crossed over to this world, would the members of the first batch of the Great Elder's Hunting Steel Dragon Squad be the Hunter Squad in this opening animation, or ...... This team of Rock would be completely defeated by the steel dragon, and only then did the Great Elder send out a second group of hunters like that.
It doesn't matter.
On the way here, Red Star carefully explained most of the attack methods and countermeasures of Steel Dragon for the temporary teammates, most of these materials come from Red Star's experience in the previous "Monster Hunter" series of games, which may not be very accurate against reality, but it is good to take precautions and let them be mentally prepared.
Even if the wheel of fate rolls forward and is unstoppable, Red Star will strive to become the driver who controls the direction of the car and the wheels!
"Are you alright?"
"Alright."
"No problem."
"Hmm."
"Good! Let's go! ”
