Chapter 7 Clash! The big strange sheep in the jungle!
Originally, according to Xie Wen's plan, they would first use the cave where they currently live and the surrounding areas as a base to temporarily develop for a period of time before exploring the island.
This is not because of the influence of Gou Daowen whom he has seen before, but because Xie Wen's current half-grown body, even though his physique is stronger than before time travel, still has many inconveniences.
And in terms of cost performance, as he grows up, his physical fitness will definitely improve significantly. In addition, during the period of waiting for his body to grow, Xie Wen will also exercise hard, and Sanji Meow's Cat rice supplements nutrition, so it is a very cost-effective thing no matter how you think about it.
Therefore, just find a few small monsters around to practice your skills. As for the large monsters, wait until you are two or three years older.
Of course, Xie Wen also had to admit that he had been putting off exploring because he was more or less afraid of death.
In short, practicing and exercising while waiting for oneself to grow up was a plan Xie Wen made after comprehensively sorting out his situation after time travel, and he didn’t think there was anything wrong with this plan, even if he was anxious to find a beautiful girl Sanji Miao, El Cat's big sister, also approved of Xie Wen's plan.
One thing to say is that there is indeed nothing wrong with this plan itself. Although it is a little timid, on the other hand, this is also the most stable plan.
However, there is an old saying: plans cannot keep up with changes, and Xie Wen also forgot one thing. Even in the game, those large monsters do not stay in one place stupidly, but wander around.
The game is like this, not to mention this world that is probably not a game, or even has anything to do with Monster Hunter?
"So, this is really the worst situation..."
Xie Wen looked at the monster that suddenly appeared in front of him and smiled helplessly.
As usual, Xie Wen was doing various exercises in the open space in front of his cave, and Sanji also left early to explore new areas.
As a result, just when his physical strength was about to be exhausted and he was about to take a rest, this monster that looked like a goat but was similar in size to a rhinoceros and had sharp teeth suddenly broke into his territory.
Looking at the other person's bloodshot eyes and the heavy breath constantly blowing out from his mouth and nose, it was obvious that he had no intention of living in peace with him.
Fortunately, after Xie Wen's mental twitch exhausted his physical strength before, he considered a similar situation and asked Sanji Meow to cook some dishes for himself that could restore his physical strength like portable barbecue, just in case, and at Xie Wen's request Next, they are all made into meatballs and other easy-to-eat types.
So while Xie Wen was holding a fresh knife and facing off against the obviously carnivorous goat, Xie Wen reached into his pocket, took out two meatballs and quickly stuffed them into his mouth.
Xie Wen was lucky. The goat monster did not attack him during this period, allowing him to successfully survive the physical crisis.
After fortunately regaining his strength, Xie Wen did not think about escaping.
Not to mention whether his two legs can outrun the opponent's four legs, the hunter inheritance memory he obtained clearly mentioned that when encountering a monster, running away is the worst way to deal with it... …
Because in reality, hunters cannot rely on switching area maps to avoid monster pursuit like they can in the game.
"Hu-his-hu-his-"
Xie Wen held the fresh knife Bai Nagi tightly in his hand and tried hard to adjust his breathing.
Although he has a lot of hunting experience in his mind, the memories that have been instilled are completely different from actually going into battle in person. Just standing in front of this goat monster, Xie Wen's thinking is already a little stagnant, and his body is even more... Extremely stiff due to nervousness.
After all, judging from the life in another world during this period, if he was rolled over by a monster, there was a high probability that a cute cat would not suddenly appear and take him to a safe area on a cart.
However, Xie Wen's good luck did not last. The goat monster had probably confirmed that he was not a high threat, or was irritated by his blade-to-blade attitude. In short, before Xie Wen could kill himself After adjusting to the best condition, the goat monster roared, then lowered its head and rushed towards him...
"Wang!"
"..."
The barking of a dog, which did not fit the shape at all, somewhat relieved Xie Wen's nervousness. Before he was stabbed by a sheep's horn, he used the unique skill that all hunters must master -
roll!
And Xie Wen's uninterrupted training during this period also showed its effect at this time. After rolling to avoid the attack of the goat monster, he almost instinctively followed up with a roundhouse slash, slashing the goat hard. On the monster's hind legs.
"Woof!!!"
After being slashed, the goat monster became even more violent, turned around and bit Xie Wen.
"Your speed is much slower than that of a velociraptor!"
Xie Wen taunted as he once again used his rolling skills to avoid the opponent's teeth.
Although he has never actually faced a velociraptor, in the inherited memories he has acquired, he has countless experiences of fighting against velociraptors. However, Xie Wen said this mainly to cheer himself up and to establish a relationship with the velociraptor. The psychological advantage of the head monster.
After all, "he" can even defeat a velociraptor with ease. The guy in front of him whose strength, speed and even biological model are far inferior to the velociraptor, isn't that easy to defeat?
It has to be said that Xie Wen's method of spiritual victory was far more successful than that of his master, Ah Q. After using Xunlong as a reference object, he finally got rid of the fear and tension in his heart, and his movements and thinking became smoother. .
Lunge, crosscut, air blade slash, roll...
Rule 1 of the Monster Hunter Code - Don't be greedy.
After calming down, Xie Wen patiently struggled with the goat monster. A good hunter must know how to seize the best opportunity to attack. If there is no opportunity to attack, then take the initiative to create it.
Stepping chop, cassock chop, air blade gyration, and blade opening!
Rule 3 of the Taishouman Code - Seize every opportunity to sharpen your sword.
At this time, Xie Wen was more focused than ever before. He tried his best to avoid the goat monster's attacks, and the few that he couldn't avoid were blocked with slashes...
After all, reality is different from the game. After eating a set of combos from a monster, you will not be able to get up alive and continue fighting.
Therefore, Xie Wen must find the right opportunity to cause damage to the goat monster on the premise of ensuring his own mobility. Even if most of these injuries are insignificant, as time goes by, these large or small injuries will eventually accumulate. To the extent that it can turn the tide of the war...
This is a judgment made by a good hunter based on his "own experience".
Vertical slashes, lunges, upward thrusts, small steps and backward jumps...
Guerrilla warfare is indeed the superior art of war left by our ancestors. Under Xie Wen's constant consumption, this goat monster finally revealed a fatal flaw.
Rule 7 of the Tai Sword Man Code - Climb the Dragon! Climb the dragon! Climb the dragon!
Charge up to thrust, jump, and ascend to the dragon to slash!
Xie Wen jumped up high and used Taitoman's signature Climbing Dragon Slash, slashing at the goat monster's neck. The opponent did not sit still and tried to turn his body to avoid the knife.
"laugh……"
Accompanied by the sound of the blade entering the flesh, the fresh knife Shiragi went down along the goat monster's left shoulder, almost cutting off its left shoulder and its left forelimb.
A large amount of blood spattered out, and a shrill wail came out of the goat monster's mouth.
“Ouch——!!!”
The serious injury to the forelimbs caused the goat monster to fall sideways to the ground. Its three intact legs were kicking wildly, trying to stand up again.
This situation is all too familiar to a monster hunter, and Xie Wen, who has gradually transformed the memories in his mind into his own experience during the battle, will naturally not let go of this hard-won opportunity.
"It's now!"
Xie Wen stretched out his left hand and grabbed it behind him, and took off the scabbard hanging on his waist. In order to be able to make the final decision, he, who had very little physical strength left, still made a movement to draw the knife and aimed at the neck of the goat monster, and at the same time activated the ghost man. status.
Rule 2 of the Monster Hunter Code - When it’s time to fight, don’t hesitate!
So, this is the final blow...
Kamui Iai!
