Chapter 248 Gun Lance
Time flew by, and a few days passed. Link also got a new toy from the blacksmith shop.
The gunpowder [Muddy] made from the materials of the Mud Dragon.
This gun has a strange shape and doesn't fit the style of this world at all.
It's just because the body of this gun looks like an electromagnetic railgun, it looks full of high-tech, and it seems a bit out of place when paired with Link's samurai armor.
There is a sense of separation, like a medieval cavalryman holding a one-handed cannon.
But I have to say that this weapon is really pleasing. Before seeing the finished product, Link could not have imagined that this thing would be so cool.
He originally thought that the Mud Rifle would be as rustic as the Mud Dragon, but he never imagined it to be a sharp weapon in black and gold.
"Okay, okay, I'll go to the training ground and try out the feel of this gun."
Holding the gunpowder, Link didn't wait for Daofu to say anything, and ran straight out of the blacksmith shop and went to the training ground.
As for the faint voice behind him saying "You haven't paid the final payment yet," he simply ignored it.
Link did not do nothing these days. He already knew how to use the rifle, and after two days of retraining, he became familiar with it.
In addition to the handsome gun, it also comes with a four-sided half-body shield. The shield is jet black with a golden gem embedded in the middle and a circle of reddish-brown bristles, which is equally majestic.
Running all the way to the training ground, Link picked up his gun, and couldn't wait to fire a shot.
If you ask what the most powerful move of this gunlance is, it is undoubtedly the extremely powerful dragon-killing cannon.
Link held the rifle firmly in his hand, adjusted his posture, aimed the muzzle at the metal kappa frog in front of him, raised the shield in his right hand in front of him, and pulled the trigger with his left hand.
Dazzling purple energy began to gather at the muzzle. After several seconds of accumulating energy, accompanied by a slight vibration of the gun, an extremely strong energy burst out instantly, and the hot artillery fire exploded instantly, bringing up a gust of wind.
"boom."
A ball of dazzling fire exploded, and a red mark appeared on the bluish-white belly of the Metal Kappa Frog.
That was the mark left by the heat from the dragon-strike cannon that burned the metal red.
The power of this cannon is quite large, but its range is very short, which has a great impact on the hunter himself. Link's body was pushed half a body length away by the recoil of the cannon.
The strong wind was blocked by the shield, and the remaining gust of wind blew on Link's face, bringing a little heat.
The shield that comes with the gunlance is not only used to defend against monster attacks, but also to protect the hunter from being injured by the powerful dragon cannon.
Press the hidden switch on the handle, shake the gun, and the mechanism inside will automatically eject the empty shell and reload it with new ammunition.
Looking at the red gun body, Link shook his head slightly.
Although the Dragon Strike Cannon is powerful, it also has a great impact on the gun body. The large amount of burning gunpowder will soften the muzzle and reduce the sharpness of the weapon.
In addition to the long charging time, its cooldown time is also very long, which is not very practical in combat.
It can only be used when the monster is trapped and unable to move.
After one shot, Link went back to the village to take on a mission.
[The Rock Dragon Lurking Underground]
[Mission star rating: ★★★★]
[Task Nature: Ordinary]
[Mission location: Sand Plain]
[Mission Objective: Hunting Rock Dragon]
[Limited time: 11 days]
【Remuneration:】
[Client: Scholars from Longli Academy]
[Task Description: In order to study the ecology of rock dragons in different regions, I need enough samples as reference, so I would like to trouble the hunter to hunt rock dragons.]
"We need to go to Sunahara. It's a bit far."
After taking the order from Shuiyun, Link scratched his head.
"Haha, Sunahara, remember to come back this time, don't go to Rocklark again."
Shui Yun chuckled.
"Yeah, I will never go to Rocklark, Sister Shuiyun, see you in a few days."
Thinking of that group of drunkards, Link shook his head, waved goodbye to Shui Yun, went home, packed his luggage, and went out hunting.
This time, Link did not choose any means of transportation, but found a caravan passing by in Feiye Fortress and hitchhiked.
-
The caravan's vehicles sped along the dirt road leading to Loklak, raising clouds of dust.
The monsters pulling the carts are domesticated Ankylosaurs. Some caravans will choose different types of monsters according to the different routes to reduce the trouble of feeding.
Link and Chuchu sat in the last car, with their backs against a cargo box full of weapons. The breeze blew by, bringing a sense of relaxation to the journey.
However, his eyes never relaxed, and he scanned the surrounding environment from time to time, observing the distant horizon and the surrounding woods.
By the way, look up at the sky.
He did not forget that the last time he went out, a scale of an explosive dragon fell from the sky.
If Shui Yun hadn't reacted quickly, he would probably still be recuperating in the village.
"Dear Mr. Hunter, is this your first time walking this route?"
Seeing how cautious he was, the coachman beside him suddenly spoke, interrupting Link's thoughts.
The driver was not very old, but his face showed some traces of weathering. He had a short knife on his waist and a small iron shield on his back, and looked strong and capable.
Although they are not professional hunters, the people in this world are tough and even ordinary people can drive away some small monsters with a dagger.
Hearing this, Link smiled bitterly and began to explain.
"No, it's just that the last time I passed this road, I encountered a flying dragon, so I became more vigilant."
The driver chuckled when he heard this, but his tone was a bit carefree.
"Hahaha, the road from Yanhuo Village to Jieyun Village is relatively safe. There are only one or two rumors of monster encounters a month. Besides, there are hunters like you here, so basically nothing will happen."
'Once or twice a month, that's not bad.'
Link thought about it in his mind and felt that compared with the probability of a car accident in his previous life, it was quite low.
The midday sun was shining, and the wheels made a monotonous squeaking sound as they rolled over the dry land.
Suddenly, a rapid neighing sound came from the front, breaking the dullness of the journey.
Link's sharp eyes locked onto the front and discovered that there were several thief dragons jumping out from the roadside.
There is no leader.
Immediately, he steadied himself and did not rush to get out of the car.
It's not his turn to take action in this situation.
The people in the caravan were also well-trained. The coachmen stopped the carriages, drew their daggers and picked up their shields, and in a blink of an eye they became guards. They surrounded the armored dragons and confronted the thief dragons vigilantly.
These thief dragons are not interested in cargo; they are greedy for the ankylosaurs and human flesh and blood.
After a brief standoff, the thieves retreated.
They are timid but smart, and will not confront humans head-on unless a giant thief leads the charge.
Although they had retreated, Link could still sense from the swaying of the surrounding grass that they had not left, but were wandering around the convoy, looking for an opportunity to hunt.
They may not be able to do anything by head-on, but they are very skilled at stealing.
This is also the origin of their name, the thief dragon.
"Ignore them and keep moving forward. Once we reach Jieyun Village, these guys won't dare to follow us."
The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man with a big belly and a wealthy face. He gave orders to the drivers in a haughty manner.
The drivers who received the order had no complaints. They were paid, so as workers they just had to obey the orders.
Of course, if they really encountered a large monster, these drivers would definitely abandon him and run away without mercy.
This is the wisdom of working people.
You can work, but you can’t risk your life.
As for Link, he is just a hitchhiker. If he encounters a monster that he can defeat, he will fight it and get the guild's reward after defeating it. If he can't defeat it, he will run away, and he will definitely run faster than that fat guy.
The carriage continued on the rest of the journey without stopping and soon arrived at Jieyun Village.
It was almost noon at this time. The drivers parked their carriages on the road at the entrance of the village, left one person to guard them, and the rest went into the village to eat.
Link licked his lips and also got out of the car and went into the village with the cat.
"Chu Chu, when we come back, let's come here to play for two days. The hot springs in Jieyun Village are great. I guess you haven't been here before."
Pinching the cat's soft ears, Link led her all the way to the hot spring hotel at the highest point.
As for food, the best food is naturally in the hotel restaurants that specialize in entertaining outsiders.
"Okay, thank you Master meow."
Rubbing Link's big hand with her cheek, Chuchu followed Link and walked into the iconic building of Jieyun Village with him.
(I checked the information and found that the Dragon Cannon in Monster Hunter is now mainly used in the Heavy Crossbow. The strongest attack of the Gunlance is to fire all the bullets. This really makes it a toy. Cover your face)
