Chapter 198: Easy Hunting of Sand Thunderbirds
Just as in a baseball game, a good batter can roughly figure out the opponent's ball speed and trajectory after seeing the opponent's pitcher throw the ball a few times, and the same is true after Haitang observed the process of the sand ray from rising to falling.
"The best time to shoot is when these sand mines are at their highest point, the direction of movement changes from upward to downward, and there will be a very short process of stationary state, in which case it is the easiest to hit......"
With the experience of seeing it once, Begonia can draw the bow without hurry, and then wait for the best time to shoot, after all, the tactics that have been planned for a long time are far more calm than the tactics of improvisation, and it is less likely to make mistakes.
Begonia did it, she did not disappoint Catherine, according to the experience when she saw this scene for the first time, and considering the flight time of the arrows in the air, half a second before several sand mines reached the highest point, Begonia released the bowstring in her hand, and when the arrows accurately hit the sand mines in the air, it was just when these sand mines reached the highest point and were close to stationary!
"Boom, boom!" After being pierced by the arrows, the sand mines were detonated in the air, and the exploding sand mines lost their threat to Catherine, and eventually fell into scattered pieces.
"Okay, the little girl is doing well, the archery is still so accurate, and the amount of advance is also calculated very well, meow!" Wen Long couldn't help but clap his hands.
"It's Mr. Cat's credit, if you hadn't seen the sand puffbird use this trick, Begonia wouldn't have been able to do it." Begonia also said modestly.
After breaking the "sand thunderstorm" of the sand thunderbird, Catherine quickly reached a distance of only five meters from the sand thunderbird, and this time the sand thunderbird gave up her signature sand thunder attack. Instead, it uses the basic move "peck" that most of the bird and dragon species will have!
I saw the sand thunderbird jump up violently. Then he pecked Catherine with her hard beak. The strength of the sand thunderbird is already much stronger than that of the great monster bird. And this way of using the weight of the body to peck and attack after jumping is also extremely powerful.
Of course, at such an instant, Catherine also drew out the "Broken Tooth Sword" that had been on her back very cleanly!
"Bah...... Bang...... Bang! ”
Several successive pecks were blocked by Catherine's greatsword, but Catherine also took a few steps back as a result, showing the strength of this sand thunderbird.
"Very good, the weapon is not damaged, after all, it is a great sword made of the materials of the Peach Fur Beastmaster, although the Peach Fur Beast King is a little lower than the level of the Sand Thunderbird. But considering Granny Reth's forging technology bonus, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with the Sand Thunderbird, Meow. ”
At this moment, I don't know why Wen Long remembered the same situation when he met the Sand Beaver Beast in the Thundering Sand Sea before, Catherine at that time was broken by the Sand Beaver Beast because the level of the big sword in her hand was too low, and this time Wen Long didn't want the same thing to happen.
"Whoa!"
The sand thunderbird continued to scream, and after the pecks were blocked, the sand thunderbird visibly felt that his self-esteem had been hit, so the sand thunderbird raised his head again and began to inhale deeply.
"Sand Mine Shelling!"
Needless to say. Catherine knew at a glance that this sand mine was going to use "sand mine shelling"!
Because this general action of raising his head and taking a deep breath is actually the process of mixing the thunder oil and fine sand in the mouth of the sand thunderbird again, and it is also the preliminary preparation that the sand thunderbird must make when carrying out the "sand thunder bombardment". Therefore, judging whether the sand thunder bird wants to carry out "sand thunder shelling" can be said to be tried and tested repeatedly.
Catherine, who has already seen a "sand storm shelling", of course, understands this, this "sand storm shelling" is extremely powerful, and it can be regarded as a sand thunderbird's ultimate, but it also has a fatal flaw, that is, the preparation time is relatively long.
If it is used for long-range attacks, of course, it is a very good choice, but now that Catherine has rushed to the side of the sand thunderbird, it is undoubtedly very stupid to use the sand thunder shelling at this time.
Because Catherine uses a great sword, and in many cases, the great sword can kill with a single blow in the hands of Catherine, who has great power!
So, at the same moment when the sand thunderbird raised her head and took a deep breath, Catherine also took a position of strength.
Originally, it would take a second to charge up, and with the time it takes to swing the sword itself, it would take more than a second to actually attack the enemy. But during the three days in Millard Village, Wenlong was also conducting special training for Catherine, in order to make himself more proficient in charging skills, so that he could complete the charging in a shorter time!
Catherine did it, because this time, Catherine only needed 0.9 seconds to complete the charge, which was 0.1 seconds faster than before!
Although it only increased the speed by 0.1 seconds, it was the key to victory and defeat for Catherine at this time!
Just 0.1 seconds faster than the Sand Thunderbird's charge to complete the "Sand Thunder Bombardment", Catherine's big sword was the first to slash down!
"Boom!"
Blood was like a pillar, and the head of the sand thunderbird fell to the ground.
"Ah...... Won! ”
After the victory, Catherine put the great sword in her hand back into the scabbard, and then said with some unfinished words.
"Begonia also thinks that a sand thunderbird doesn't seem to be difficult...... Begonia also said.
Although it is said that this is the case, both Catherine and Begonia know in their hearts that just a few days ago, Wenlong, Catherine and Begonia all fought hard to win against a famous shield crab, but it has only been a few days, and hunting the same level of sand thunderbirds can easily win without the need for three people to shoot at the same time.
Of course, this is not because the sand raptor is much weaker than the daimyo shield crab, but it is obvious that after changing into new equipment and familiarizing themselves with the sand raptor's tricks in advance, the three of them have become stronger.
"The results of this hunt are not bad, but don't be proud, if we want to deal with the catastrophe that may occur in three months, we are not strong enough now, Meow."
After the hunt was completed, Wen Long first affirmed Catherine and Begonia's performance, and then reminded them not to be proud.
"We get it, Mr. Cat." Catherine and Begonia nodded.
As long as you think of the Star Dragon, as well as the Scourge Star Dragon that is likely to appear, no matter who you are, you will not feel relaxed, plus there are also ancient dragons that have been affected and entered the active period, then even a five-star hunter must be prepared. So as soon as Wenlong's words came out, the atmosphere between them suddenly became serious.
However, Wen Long said, "Okay, don't worry too much, there are still three months to go, and we still have a lot of things to do during this period...... So let's quickly break down the material of the sand thunderbird, and then rush to the Oasis Canyon before sunset, meow! ”
After speaking, Wen Long took out the hunter's knife first and began to decompose the materials of the sand thunderbird. (To be continued......)
