At first glance, it looks like a wyvern, but the skeleton is much thinner than that of a wyvern, the orange-red monster raises its huge spoon-like beak, smashes a small tree in two or three strokes, and drags it away.

The little tree was dragged to the clearing in the woods, stacked on top of each other with the large pile of dead yellow branches.

"Quack!" Torn apart by its claws and beak, the tree quickly turned into countless pieces, and with a little tidying, it became part of a pile of dead branches.

- This is a nest that has not yet been built.

For scholars, especially for the scrivener team who focus on the study of monster ecology, the scene of the big monster bird nesting in front of them is quite rare and valuable "ecological data".

But for hunters......

All right! It's a nest! It's a pity that I'm not sleeping.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you sleep or not."

Gordon stepped out of the shadows of the woods, and he walked straight to the big monster bird, "Pork chop, you don't have to make a move, just blow it down with a flashbang or sonic boom when it's ready to fly away." ”

"Good meow." Pork Chop touched the prop bag behind him, "Wait until it's almost over, put a trap meow down." ”

The conversation between a man and a cat did not lower the volume, and the words and footsteps immediately attracted the attention of the great monster bird with a keen sense of hearing.

Its ears were wide open, and it looked alarmingly at Gordon as it walked towards it.

The great monster bird that occupies the middle and upper ecological niche is not without natural predators, but the predators that must be vigilant in the instinct of the group obviously do not include the small man in front of him.

So the big monster bird stretched its neck and let out a demonstrative roar.

"Quack——!

The fan-shaped pinna acted like a megaphone, and the loud sound forced Gordon to pause for a moment, and when the sound stopped, he continued on.

When the distance between the two was less than twenty meters, the big monster bird finally couldn't help it anymore and rushed up with a strange scream.

Gordon stood firm, holding his sword in both hands, adjusting the state of his muscles and joints, and staring at the galloping orange-red giant bird.

Gesture of courage.

Although it's only a three-star dangerous monster, and there is a slightly funny nickname like "Teacher Yang Kuku", in fact, in the eyes of many hunters, especially novice hunters, the big monster bird is a rather tricky existence.

Body size, momentum, carapace, flight ability, body structure, and breathing ability are all similar to those of the Wyvern, with only a slight loss.

Hunters who can successfully hunt them will be initially recognized as having the strength to challenge the Wyvern.

In the Hunter's Guild, there are several monsters with similar positioning, such as water dragons, sleeping birds, salon kings, strange dragons, and so on.

If you don't hunt one of these monsters alone, the guild won't give you the qualification to challenge the four-star promotion mission, so these monsters also have the saying of "veteran proof".

Of course, Gordon had already crossed that threshold, but when he turned around, he wore a novice armor with a defensive effect of about none, and faced the big monster bird again.

I still feel a little "excited".

Gordon gripped the hilt of his sword—he wanted the thrill.

The big monster bird lowered its head slightly, and the top of its giant beak was raised to the hunter who was still standing in place.

In the final moments of the attack, Gordon spun and staggered, but the crisis did not end there, and the giant beak was followed by sharp claws that could easily slice through the chest and abdomen of large creatures.

The inexperienced hunter was inevitably in a hurry at this time, but Gordon swung his greatsword in time, and slid again with the reaction transmitted back by the hilt, successfully avoiding the rushing attack of the great monster bird.

"Hmmm......"

Gordon did not take advantage of the momentum to pursue, but groaned on the spot, and realized it for a moment.

There was nothing particularly noticeable, just a momentary acceleration of his heartbeat as he dodged the attack.

But it doesn't seem surprising either......

The monster didn't give him room to think slowly, and when he found that the attack had missed, the big monster bird screamed angrily, turned around, raised its giant beak, and slammed it down like a hammer on a walnut.

Gordon once again made a gesture of courage and dodged in time.

Only this time, after dodging the attack, he immediately picked up his big sword and entered a charging stance.

One, two, three, release!

The three-stage charged slash landed on the thigh of the Great Monster Bird, and due to the poor sharpness of the Bernard's Great Sword, the wound caused by this sword was not deep, but the huge force still smashed the Great Monster Bird to let out a miserable scream.

"Gah!"

Gordon's eyes lit up.

That's what it feels like, the heart is beating fast, something seems to be burning in the body, and the energy is a little faster!

Gordon leaped back, ready to distance himself from the big monster bird and get a good feel for it.

However, the big monster bird, which had been stabbed in the leg, was obviously not so good-tempered, and it shook its head and screamed to catch up.

"Tsk, annoying."

Gordon, who was maintaining a gesture of courage and repeatedly experiencing that feeling, was impatiently stammered.

In the face of the rushing orange-red giant bird, he subconsciously directly picked up the big sword and entered the charging posture, and the feeling of acceleration continued.

Before the big monster bird could pounce on him, he successfully swung the charged slash in his hand.

"Quack!"

The unsharp, but rather heavy, Bernard sword smashed the head of the great monster bird to the ground like a hammer, and the unsteady pace of the great monster bird staggered and fell over due to the rapid rush, struggling and screaming.

"Winter! Winter! Winter! ”

The sound of a pounding heart can be heard almost directly with your ears.

Fueled by fear, courage, is burning in his chest.

"This feeling ......," Gordon paused.

He didn't pay much attention to it when he thought it was the excitement of the battle, but now, he had some new ideas.

Refine it, master it......

After a few moments, the heartbeat gradually calmed down, and the fiery emotions had dissipated.

This time, he failed, but there was nothing to be discouraged about.

Gordon smiled and put his greatsword back in his hands—he had found the trick.

In the face of the incoming fear, calmly respond, you can naturally gather "courage", but the most efficient way is to face the monster, face the fear, and attack!

Staring at the big monster bird that crawled up, Gordon licked the corners of his mouth.

"Go on, keep attacking, let me practice again."

......

In less than half a month, Gordon and the transport airboat of the Dragon Calendar Academy went to the Ancient Forest four times.

In the last and fourth time, the target is still a subspecies of the Great Monster Bird, a Blue Monster Bird with a danger level of four stars.

When he saw the signal, he led the transport team to the dying blue monster bird that fell into a deep coma under the effect of the trap and the capture of the tranquilizer bomb.

The young dragon researcher couldn't help but feel pity for this big guy with an indigo carapace.

Like the three big monster birds before them, they were all smashed to death by Gordon with a blunt sword, well, half dead.

Gordon had promised the lead researcher to try not to damage the wing membranes, so the guys could barely find a slightly intact carapace other than their wings.

Normally, hunters' hunting philosophy is to "cut off one finger", and Gordon practiced more with him in order to make these big monster birds last a little longer.

Pulled out all the fingernails of all ten fingers......

The young researcher cautiously leaned over to Gordon, who was standing with his arms crossed.

The Bernard suit, which was white and new half a month ago, has long been stained with blood stains and turned into a dirty red and black.

The Bernard's greatsword, which was roughened from ore, became even more like a saw, and the broken blade was soaked in unwashed blood, exuding a pungent smell of blood at all times.

It was the first time that the boy had seen someone who could wear such a terrifying feeling with a novice outfit......

"Go... Mr. Gordon? ”

The young researcher swallowed, he stabilized his emotions, and said, "Thanks to your help, we have collected enough of the Great Monster Bird Wing Membrane.

In this way, the power sail and direction sail of the dragon ship have the best materials.

So, then, do you still need to continue hunting monster birds? We can continue to send people if needed......."

"No need."

Gordon raised his eyes and said with a smile: "The basic things have been roughly felt, and then it's time to find some 'powerful' opponents for actual combat." ”

“...... Ah, okay. ”

The young researcher wasn't sure if it was his hallucination, but he seemed to see a blue glow disappear from Gordon's eyes.
