Chapter 5: Chance Encounters

The strange bird reluctantly stood up, and Zoan retreated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After standing up, the strange bird began to become angry, its huge body jumped and jumped with its slender legs, black smoke came out of the huge beak of the strange bird, which was a sign of its anger, and the broken fan ears and large beak made it look quite hideous now.

Zoan didn't choose to rush forward rashly at this time, the aggressiveness of the angry monster bird was much stronger than before the anger, he was afraid that the monster bird would rush forward for no reason, such an impact would probably make him seriously injured in terms of his current defense.

The facts show that Zoan is right. The big monster bird, which had become angry, came back to its senses and rushed in the direction of Zoan. Zoan, who had been prepared for a long time, dodged the attack of the strange bird as soon as it began to move.

――――

Zoan's hunting awareness is better than many people, and this is the result of his daily training according to the exercise methods that his father taught him. What kind of method this is, and where it came from, Zoan does not know. All he knew was that his dad had taught him - and that was enough.

In addition to teaching him this exercise method, his father also taught him a lot about hunting grounds. That's something that can't be taught in the academy classroom, and it's something that a hunter who has experienced it firsthand can describe. Although Zuoan now has a firm grasp of his father's words, many things are still in a state of remembering, and he may not have really experienced it himself, so it will take a long time to digest this feeling.

Well, even if it's only a small part of it, it's enough to deal with monsters like the big monster birds, which are on the edge of the dragon clan.

――――

This daimyo shield crab can't survive for long. This is what the Great Sword Hunter is thinking now, the black Great Sword in the Great Sword Hunter's hand has become dull again, and how many knives he left on the shield crab, even the shield crab himself, I'm afraid he can't remember.

Whew!! The shield crab spewed out a column of water compressed by its body, but the shield crab, which was already very weak, was too obvious and slow to prepare for this attack. The Great Sword Hunter didn't even need to roll, he walked away just as it was making preparations, and then raised the big sword in his hand to stab the shield crab's already battered back shell.

The shield crab stumbled again, and all four legs collapsed weakly on the sand.

――――

The Great Monster Bird spewed a fireball at Zoan, but with its fireball...... As long as Zoan stood farther away, the fireball couldn't hit him. The range of the strange bird's fireball was so short, like a parabola, that it spit out of its mouth, lifted slightly, and then quickly fell down.

But because the range of the fireball was too short, the strange bird only sprayed the fireball a few times, and the fire had already spread along the grass fungus on the ground, and the strange bird was surrounded by fire.

In this case, Zoan has nothing to do. It can only be directed out of the place where the fire is spreading, which is probably the best way to do it at the moment. So Zoan turned his back to the strange bird and ran away.

But the strange bird seemed unmoved, even though Zoan had already exposed his back to it.

'No, does this strange bird know that I want to lure it out of its favor?' Zoan shook his head, this can't be, a big monster bird has such a high IQ?

Just when Zoan was a little anxious, Zoan suddenly remembered that he still had these things in his backpack. These are what the hunter will ration to hunters when they hunt large monsters.

Hunting knives for throwing can be converted into knives with various special status according to the blending materials. Although there is no chance to give Zoan time to reconcile in this situation, an ordinary hunting knife is enough.

Zoan swung the hunting knife with all his might, the target of the big monster bird was too big, and it was very difficult for Zoan to deliberately not want to throw it. The knife hit the strange bird in the left eye, which was both lucky and unlucky. The big monster bird was even more angry, and another charge rushed in the direction of Zoan, much faster than just now.

Thankfully, Zoan had run a long distance just now, which gave him time to react and dodge, and when the strange bird rushed to arrive, Zoan had already avoided its impact range.

After the collision, the big monster bird fell to the ground because of the force of the impact, which gave Zoan a good chance to attack.

The wound on the left foot that was cut by Zoan just now seems to be a little healing, and the blood is no longer flowing from the wound. But with such a good attack output point, how could Zoan let it go. It's a bit cruel, it's a bit cruel, and it's just salt in the wound, ah, it's not just salt now, it's just a knife again.

Pity for the enemy is cruelty to oneself, his father once told him, and the instructors in the academy told them so. This world of hunting is so cruel, who is the prey and who is the hunter, only the winning side can know.

Then, a series of attacks landed on the monster bird's left leg, and the wound ruptured again as soon as the knife was cut, and blood splattered from the wound again.

The big monster bird stood up.

Zoan had already retreated just now, not far from the Great Monster Bird.

The strange bird who stood up looked at Zuo'an, ignored Zuo'an's 'murderer', and dragged his injured left leg directly to the middle of the cave. There was a huge hole in the middle of the cave at the top, and if you looked up, you could see the sky outside.

Oops! The strange bird doesn't want to run away.

――――

The Great Sword Hunter was wiping the black greatsword worn out by the battle, and his target, the Daimyo Shield Crab, was dead, and he was sitting against its massive body. Fresh from the hunt, he misses the dark beer in the tavern a little.

It's too early to get dark, the big sword hunter spat out, as if dissatisfied, and smashed his elbow at the corpse of the shield crab leaning behind him, "You guy really made me spend so much time, cut." ”

"Well, how can there be a big monster bird with a lame head here, could it be that there are other hunters hunting nearby? Here's how the hunting will do this, giving out two quests in a neighboring hunting spot. "The Great Sword Hunter saw the big monster bird that Zoan was hunting.

――――

Zuoan is a little annoyed now, obviously about to subdue the big monster bird, but actually let it escape. Thankfully, Zoan remembered to throw the dye ball before it fled, otherwise he would have recovered by the time Zoan found his target again.

"According to the smell, the big monster bird should be around here." Zoan put away his irritability and focused on feeling where the monster was. But no matter how much he felt, Zoan didn't perceive any danger.

'Could it be that I'm feeling wrong, the smell is clearly here.' Zoan took a deep breath to reconfirm the source of the scent.

Getting closer, Zoan saw a person, who was the Great Sword Hunter he had seen in the hunting party.
