Chapter 6 Observe the Battle
The Earth Sand Dragon dived into the mire, and its body was gradually swallowed by the mud.

He didn't stop diving until the muddy water was about to submerge his fan-shaped erected crown.

Seeing that the two hunters still didn't move, Li Ming asked curiously: "If the surface of the earth sand dragon is covered with mud, it will be difficult to deal with it, right?"

"I didn't expect you to start to understand the characteristics of monsters at this stage. You are right, but for these two people, it is the best choice to let the silt covering the surface of the carapace hydrolyze and soften before fighting."

Wood informed.

During the battle, the Sand Dragon will throw the hydrolyzed wet silt to the ground, causing serious obstacles to the enemy's movement in the surrounding area.

Therefore, a sand dragon with no mud on its body is in the most suitable state to launch an attack.

Of course, the chances of encountering this ideal situation are slim.

Because the covering of silt can not only cool down the sand dragon, but also effectively prevent the invasion of parasites.

If it doesn't need to eat, it can even stay in the mud for a whole day.

The current common response is to fight when the silt is in a dry and hardened state.

Thinking of this, Li Ming suddenly understood what Wood said was the best choice.

"Is it because the defense strength increases after the silt hardens, so weapons cannot penetrate it smoothly?"

"Yes, the carapace covering the body of the Sand Dragon is already very thick. If you choose to attack in the hardened mud state, it will be difficult to cause effective damage based on the sharpness of the weapons they hold."

Wood confirmed Li Ming's conjecture.

Not long after, in order to allow the mud to completely cover its body, the only exposed top of the crown of the Earth Sand Dragon sank into the mud.

Gollum~
After it was completely moistened, a string of bubbles bubbled up, and soon the top of the crown surfaced again.

呲~呲~
The five pores on the top of the crown each emit a stream of water vapor, as if to confirm that breathing is smooth and whether there is any obstruction.

"If we block the pores of the Tusaurus that are exposed to the water and are used for breathing, can we suffocate it to death?"

Li Ming expressed his idea.

"I haven't seen anyone try this, but if they do, I guess the Earth Sand Dragon will directly retaliate in a furious state."

Wood was quite surprised by Li Ming's surprising idea.

Part of this surprise came from the other party's out-of-the-box thinking, and the other part was due to his sufficient understanding of the body structure of the Earth Sand Dragon.

Because those who are determined to become hunters at Li Ming's age will basically only focus on the weapons and moves used for hunting.

Analyzing monsters from the perspective of ecology and body structure, so as to hunt more safely, is generally a method that only experienced hunters are good at using.

A few minutes later, the originally hardened gray-white dirt on the clay faucet crown had turned into a cement-like dark gray, with signs of loosening and disintegration.

Brother Lutie and Brother Lengmian appeared from behind the hidden rocks at the same time.

"Can I reveal the names of these two hunters?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"The tall hunter who uses a spear is called Lindsay, and the one who uses double swords and is not so tall is called Wasiu. They are both two-star hunters."

While Wood was speaking, Wasiu placed both swords in his left hand and reached for the bag on his waist with his free right hand, and took out a sphere covered with pink dust.

"Don't you need to put your weapon away before throwing the dye ball?"

Li Ming was amazed.

Dyeing balls are a common prop used by hunters when hunting.

As long as the sticky sphere is attached to the surface of the monster, it can accurately track the monster's location with the unique smell of the dyed fruit.

"Don't imitate him. According to the guild's rules for using weapons, except for the blade-hand sword, it is not allowed to use props while holding them."

Wood sighed and shook his head.

"So strict?"

Li Ming thought that Wa Xiu's method of using props was a common and convenient way, but he did not expect that it was a non-standard behavior that was not recognized.

"There is no way, these regulations are lessons learned in exchange for blood."

Wood looked solemn.

Li Ming speculated that the rules for using weapons were probably the same as the safety rules for high-risk jobs.

It seems that many methods that make work convenient and easy are prohibited.

But in fact, the establishment of every article in it is summarized from the pain, blood and tears.

swoosh~
The dyed ball slid out of an arc in mid-air and landed on the clay dragon head crown.

puff~
The impact sphere emitted a cloud of pink smoke.

Sensing the strange earth sand dragon, its crown slowly floated up, and soon its dark red eyes rose above the water, locking on the two humans on the shore of the swamp.

Lindsay raised the cone-shaped knight's gun, swung it horizontally, and hit the side edge of the heavy metal shield, making two loud metal buzzes.

bang~ bang~
"Haha! Earth Sand Dragon! I will be your opponent!"

Li Ming was stunned by Lindsay's bold and hearty laughter and her opening remarks.

"This"

"In order to attract the monster's attention, Lindsay did the right thing. He held the shield facing the sand dragon. He bent his knees slightly and stood with his feet one behind the other. His preparations for resisting the impact at any time were very standard, but speaking loudly was a bit redundant. , you should keep your breath steady at all times, otherwise it may affect the instant burst of power."

Wood commented.

"Very professional"

Li Ming didn't expect that a lucky two-star fish hunter could have such a level of knowledge reserve.

"Hehe, this is nothing. After being a hunter for a long time, you will always accumulate some experience."

The corners of Wood's mouth turned up.

"Wood likes others to praise him. You can praise him more."

Tachibana, who held up the binoculars in Cat Claws, informed.

"Nonsense, I'm not that superficial."

Wood argued.

"Ah Ju, what are you looking at?"

Seeing that the direction the other party was observing was not a quagmire, Li Ming asked in confusion. "Confirm the standby status of the Meru Meow Rescue Team. If it is not reliable enough, you can only prepare to escape."

Ah Ju informed.

"This rescue team is very reliable. As long as there is no food shortage, first aid drills will be conducted every day."

Li Ming introduced.

The reason for being so convinced is not just seeing it.

As a reserve member of the rescue team, Li Ming also participated in many drills.

Due to his outstanding performance, he also received a medal made from a wooden barrel lid.

"It can be seen that each cat has a clear division of labor, uh. How did you know about it, cat?"

This time it was Ah Ju's turn to be curious.

"In order to continue the field adaptation training, I have been staying in their tribe."

"Oh? You have such a strong affinity, meow. Even the wild El Cat Tribe has a hard time accepting humans. You actually live in the El Cat Tribe."

Ah Ju said very surprised.

At this time, most of the body of Tushalong, which was slowly rising, was already out of the water.

Lines of slippery mud dripped down from the carapace.

Puji~puji~
The paws stepped on the muddy ground on the shore, leaving deep three-toe paw prints.

"I am two-star hunter Lindsay! Come over here! Earth Sand Dragon!"

Lindsay shouted, tapping the shield again.

Although verbal communication with monsters is completely meaningless.

But I have to admit that Lindsay successfully attracted all the attention of Tushalong to himself.

The tiles that circled along the shore were completely ignored.

Under the shadow cast by the earth sand dragon, Lindsay, who was originally tall and strong, was now shown to be extremely weak.

But he didn't show any intention to retreat, he just moved the heavy metal shield in front of him slightly closer to his body.

Aw. Aw!
The Earth Sand Dragon hummed briefly, then suddenly raised its voice, opened its big mouth full of fangs, and roared.

At this time, the heavy shield tilted sideways, leaving a gap for the conical knight's spear to thrust upward.

puff~
On the upper jaw of the earth sand dragon's pink mouth, a ball of bright red blood spattered out as the tip of the spear was pierced and pulled away.

With the monster's ability to endure pain, the pain from this wound was completely unable to restrict its movement.

Lindsay withdrew his spear and quickly swung it sideways, then put the shield back upright in front of him.

The Tusandosaurus stepped forward with one of its paws, and its head was driven by its body to swing out.

when!
The crown, which was like a heavy hammer, hit the metal shield, causing a string of sparks to fly.

Lindsay slid backwards for a distance, and her arched feet sank deeply into the mud, successfully resisting the impact.

"This intensity is just right!"

Rearranging his defensive posture, Lindsay shouted again.

The Earth Sand Dragon complied with his request, but this time after taking two steps forward with its paws, it did not take advantage of the situation to shake its head. Instead, it tilted its neck back and raised its crown high.

Li Ming was familiar with this move of hitting the headbutt hard, but the user was an earth sand dragon with a hard crown, so the power was definitely far more powerful than the headbutt of a young dragon.

Since the attack came from above, Lindsay could only raise her shield to resist.

Boom!

The heavy metal shield successfully resisted the attack again, and Lindsay was not injured.

However, due to the heavy blow, his legs were stuck deep in the mud on the shore, and his whole body was instantly a little shorter.

Lindsay's movement was limited.

Li Ming, who was already nervous, began to worry.

"At this stage, Lindsay has made no mistakes in her response."

Wood sighed helplessly.

At this time, Wasiu appeared from behind the claws on one side of the earth sand dragon.

At the same time as he jumped up, he flipped his body around in mid-air and slashed down with the two swords in his hands.

when!when!
The two sharp blades that struck the soles of his feet caused a splash of sparks.

Borrowing force from his arms, Wa Xiu, who was hanging upside down, jumped up again.

Using the two knives to alternately cut the carapace as a support, the body was constantly turning and leaping into the air above the back of the earth sand dragon.

Wasiu flew downwards, slightly adjusted his falling direction, and flipped in the air again.

However, the attack method was changed from vertical slashing to help with leaping upward, to horizontal cutting.

when!when!when!
From the beginning to the end of the earth sand dragon's back, there was a series of intensive cutting sounds.

Wherever the sharp blade crossed, mud sprayed and sparks flashed.

"Ghosts dance in the air."

Li Ming exclaimed.

"To be able to master the Ghost Man Air Dance skillfully at this age, and to dare to use it in actual combat, Vasiu is definitely gifted."

Wood said in admiration.

"Is there that kind of person who can master all weapon moves?"

Li Ming asked tentatively.

"Let's put it this way, even the drunk braggarts in the guild hall dare not claim to know all the weapon moves."

Wood denied.

Li Ming didn't expect that the abilities that the game's protagonist had when he was created turned out to be heaven-defying talents in the real world.
