Chapter Eighty-Six: Gambling and Savings

The successful tail docking gave Gordon a little more confidence in the outcome of the hunt.

Unlike yesterday's bitter battle, the initiative in today's battle has almost always been in one's own hands.

From using sonic booms to preemptively attack, to stoning chops head-on to lure enemies, and attacking weak points from the flank, the very different hunting experience proves once again the importance of tactics when hunting monsters.

Perhaps because of the sharp pain of the severed tail, which sped up the big monster bird's up, the little poor big guy didn't lie on the ground for long.

Gordon, fearing that the big monster bird would fight back in a rage after getting up, retreated early, opening up a safe distance of a few meters, and his caution proved to be right.

The big monster bird, who had just returned to its normal state for less than two minutes, had its eyes red again.

Gordon felt that this should be the credit of the broken tail

The familiar smell of sulphur gas accompanied by sparks emerging from the edge of the giant beak of the great monster bird, no doubt a precursor to breathing.

Yesterday's severe burns had left him with a bit of a psychological shadow.

Although the range of the big monster bird's hot sand breath was not far, the range of the splash was really a bit large, and in order to avoid further burns, Gordon immediately put away his greatsword and began to cautiously continue to retreat, while being ready to dodge at any time.

The preparation time for the Great Monster Bird's breath attack was unusually long, and the muffled purr like a mouthwash echoed in its huge beak, and the scattered sparks between the gaps in the giant beak gradually turned into blazing flames.

Can this guy really be like a fire dragon and directly spew out a fireball?

Gordon, who had retreated to a distance of a few dozen meters, was in his heart, and his concentration and spirit were also tightened to the extreme, alert for an attack that might come at any time.

"Quack, quack, quack!"

With a strange cry, the big strange bird that had been "accumulating" for a long time suddenly moved.

Its slender legs swayed the ground, its wings flapping to keep it balanced or accelerated to assist it, and its huge head swayed from side to side, like a drunken madman, rushing towards Gordon's side.

"What the hell?!"

Gordon scolded secretly, and prepared a breath attack for a long time, why did he suddenly become a "dragon car"?

Just as Gordon was about to dodge, a large cloud of flames mixed with scorching sand and gravel was thrown out by the big monster bird, cutting a parabola and smashing six or seven meters away from Gordon.

Gordon's footsteps jerked.

Immediately after that, there was the 2nd, 3rd, 4th regiment.

As the giant skull flicked from side to side, the giant monster bird spewed out multiple balls of hot sand breath, which smashed down on both sides of its collision path in a rather random manner.

This made Gordon not dare to dodge at all.

Once hit, no, as long as the hot sand with a wide range of splashing is slightly affected, the dragon cart that follows will crush him into a meatloaf!

This guy actually knows how to block his retreat with breath??!

Gordon stared at the big bird in shock, knowing in his heart that if he didn't do something, he could let the pork chop help him prepare for the future.

You can't run away when you turn your head, and with that stride distance, it's impossible for a human leg to outrun a monster.

Flying to the side and rolling to bet on luck is the most normal choice, do everything you can and leave it to fate.

But Gordon didn't want to gamble his life on luck.

It's okay to gamble with his life, but he is more willing to gamble his strength than on luck!

Taking a deep breath, pressing into his abdomen and stabilizing his core, Gordon stared at the big monster bird that was running wildly, and the giant scissors he carried behind him were directly on his shoulders, and as his heart pumped vigorously, blood rushed into his muscles, and his strength began to condense.

Charge up your stance!

"If the strength is strong enough and the timing is accurate enough, the charged slash can even directly slash the flying dragon that grabs the hunter's head!"

This was told to him by one of the high-ranking swordsmen in the assembly hall when he was drinking and bragging.

At the time, Gordon saw it as an exaggerated description, but now, he's going to try it!

The great monster bird in the wild is extremely long, and the injuries to its wings and legs, as well as the way it runs from side to side, doom its center of gravity to be unstable.

As long as you can catch that moment!

Beneath the visor, Gordon's eyes narrowed slightly.

As the number of charged stages gradually increased, the distance between him and the big monster bird became closer and closer, ten meters, eight meters, five meters, and two meters

Now is the time!

"Hah!"

Gordon, whose muscles and joints were tense to the extreme, instantly released the same accumulation to the limit, and the giant scissors turned into an afterimage with a devastating force, breaking through the air and slashing at the side of the big monster bird's face.

The huge head of the big monster bird was smashed to one side, and it was forcibly maintaining its center of gravity by swinging its head and wings, and it instantly lost its balance and fell in front of the hunter.

The pork chop, who was hiding in the distance and was in a hurry, couldn't help jumping up happily when he saw this scene.

For Gordon in the past, the charged slash was the end of a series of attacks.

After all, people are not machines, and after releasing the energy that has accumulated to the limit, they must leave two or three seconds for the muscles to "breathe".

But now, he inexplicably feels that the charging slash is just a kind of "front".

The power accumulated before was not completely dissipated with the slashing of this knife, but turned into a short-term "aftermath", which remained deep in the muscles for the time being.

Wait to be reawakened, or dissipate after a few seconds.

In his mind, he recalled a move that the superior swordsman had taught him in a daze after he was half drunk.

Kneeling on one knee with both legs bent, the arms, shoulders, and even waist and back that clenched the hilt of the big sword were tightened to the right side as much as possible, and the whole person was like a batch of winches that had been twisted to the limit, and at the end of the winches, the head of the sword pointed straight to the sky!

This is an advanced charge stance called "Strong Charge Slash".

As the muscles tightened again, the power that had not yet been dissipated seemed to return, and even on the basis of the original, it was even better, no, it was a few chips!

The power he had accumulated to another level seemed to be about to break free from Gordon's grasp, and he roared, slashing his strongest sword since becoming a hunter at the great monster bird that had not yet been able to get up.

Strong Charge Slash!

The giant scissors slashed through a huge arc and slashed down with a powerful momentum that seemed to split the earth in two.

Unable to grasp this new power with precision, the sword did not accurately slash at the root joint of Gordon's left wing, but instead slashed at the wing bone of the great bird's left wing.

The carapace, the skin, and the fascia were all destroyed unhindered in front of the giant scissors, and only the thick bones could stand in front of the blade.

"Kara!"

With a crisp sound of bones breaking, the wing bones of the big monster bird were bent at a strange angle, looking at the tiny bone stubble that burst out of the wound, Gordon knew that the left wing of the big monster bird was completely scrapped.

The miserable howl continued, and the monster bird, which had been hit hard again, bounced off the ground as if it had been electrocuted, and the huge wings of the fan lifted Gordon backwards, but fortunately he was not injured.

Just as Gordon retreated a few steps, ready to face another wave of the Great Monster Bird's fury, he was shocked to find out.

This guy actually turned around and limped away?
