Hunting: The Dawning

Chapter 15: Cut in Two with One Stroke!

Perhaps due to the experience of successfully hunting large monsters or the fact of being equipped with a more powerful weapon.

When Gordon came to the Schreiter Forest Hills hunting ground again, instead of the faint sense of nervousness in the past, he felt rather at ease as if he were in his element.

After all, the entire Western Schreiter region, including the mountain forest where he encountered the Great Wild Boar King before, was just the outer periphery of the Schreiter Forest Hills that covered an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers.

According to the instructor, the Northern Schreiter area with the ruins of the Ancient Schreiter City as the core was the truly dangerous place — where countless flying dragon species and even more terrifying monsters lived.

Gordon could hardly imagine what monsters could be more powerful than dragons?

"Lord Gordon, meow!"

The shrill voice woke Gordon from his distracted thoughts. It was Pig Chop who had gone to scout the environment and returned.

"No trace of the Velociprey group has been found for the moment, meow. But there are some herbivorous dinosaurs wandering not far to the north. Shall we go and have a look, meow?"

Gordon touched the backpack at his waist. There were several bottles of Potions provided in the supply box of the hunter's camp and some rations.

Let's set aside the Potions. The quantity of the rations was really a bit scarce. If he really stayed in the hunting ground for five full days, these foods wouldn't even be enough to fill his stomach.

In this way, if he and Pig Chop wanted to eat more and better, hunting some carnivorous food was inevitable.

"Let's go. Let's hunt a herbivorous dinosaur first. While collecting more raw meat, the smell of blood might also attract the nearby Velocipreys. Those robbers have a very sensitive nose."

Pig Chop nodded its small head.

Those bad guys were really sensitive to the smell of blood. In the past, when he and his clansmen hunted prey, if they didn't handle it in time, Velocipreys would quickly come to snatch the food. It was really annoying.

Following Pig Chop, Gordon soon saw the group of herbivorous dinosaurs mentioned by the former.

This was a small group consisting of eight herbivorous dinosaurs, including two cubs.

At this time, these gentle guys, who were often captured by humans for food or domesticated as large livestock, were slowly foraging for tender grass leaves and didn't notice the approaching danger at all.

Gordon and Pig Chop quietly approached.

He didn't set his sights on the two cubs, even though the meat of the cubs was much more tender and delicious than that of the adult individuals.

"Choose the old rather than the young" was an unwritten rule among hunters. Unless necessary, no one would violate it.

"It's you."

Gordon selected an older member at the back of the herbivorous dinosaur family as the target. After lurking close enough, he launched a decisive assault.

The frightened herbivorous dinosaurs started to run. Unfortunately, their speed was not fast, at least not faster than Gordon's.

He soon came to the side of the selected herbivorous dinosaur. Grasping the hilt with both hands, he took the Burst Blade off the hook on his back and swung it out at the same time.

The hook blade popped out.

"Swish!"

The head of the herbivorous dinosaur was chopped off without a hitch. The keratinized skin and the sturdy neck bone seemed no stronger than a straw in front of the hook blade of the Burst Blade.

It didn't even have time to feel the pain before it died completely.

Ignoring the other herbivorous dinosaurs that were fleeing in panic, Gordon asked Pig Chop to be on guard and then put away the Burst Blade, took out a skinning knife, and began to skin and dissect.

Large pieces of raw meat were cut off by him and placed aside.

He didn't cut too much, just took enough for the next few days. After all, this trip was not specifically for hunting carnivorous food. He still had to stay in the hunting ground for several days. Too much raw meat would only rot and couldn't be taken back.

Looking at the disemboweled and strongly smelling of blood body of the herbivorous dinosaur, Gordon bowed slightly and then took Pig Chop and carried the raw meat back to the camp first.

He believed that the Velocipreys hidden in the jungle wouldn't easily let go of this delicious meal.

The distance from here to the camp was not too far. When Gordon went back to place the raw meat and returned here, only about half an hour had passed.

However, even such a short time was enough for those forest robbers to come and "feast".

The bright skin color of a mixture of light blue and dark blue, the long and powerful hind limbs and long tail, the long beak like that of a bird with keratinization, and the bright red crest.

This was the "road-blocking robber" that the caravan hated the most — the Velociprey.

"One, two, three. There are three in total. It's not much of a trouble. Pig Chop, be vigilant of the surrounding environment and judge the timing of action by yourself."

After a simple instruction, Gordon stepped forward and rushed up.

He didn't give Pig Chop too many orders but wanted to see what Pig Chop would do.

Hunting Felynes with different personalities would have completely different behavior patterns. Pig Chop's performance in these few days would directly determine their future cooperation mode.

After a brief second of hesitation, Pig Chop also chased up on all fours.

It chose to fight side by side.

The corner of Gordon's mouth twitched slightly. He trustedingly left his back to it.

The three Velocipreys that were jumping around beside the body of the herbivorous dinosaur also noticed the two uninvited guests who "came to snatch the food". They raised their heads and let out two sharp cries like the chirping of birds, trying to scare them off.

Gordon and Pig Chop naturally wouldn't retreat so easily. The distance between the two sides further narrowed.

Feeling provoked, a more violent Velociprey screamed again. Its long and powerful hind limbs suddenly kicked the ground. The razor-sharp claws, with the force of the jump, kicked towards Gordon's throat and neck, which were vital parts.

He had witnessed with his own eyes that a Velociprey had directly broken the neck of a herbivorous dinosaur with such an attack and killed it with one blow.

If this kick hit, with the barely effective defensive performance of the hunter's set, it was very likely that it couldn't be blocked.

But, was he thinking about defense now?

Gordon grinned with excitement.

The palm wrapped under the wrist guard grasped the hilt tightly. Just as the claws of the Velociprey were about to reach him, he took a heavy step forward. The Burst Blade with the hook blade instantly unfolded tore through the air and slashed down vertically with a terrifying force.

This was a full-strength s***h completely different from when hunting the herbivorous dinosaur before!

The heavy steel blade accurately collided with the leaping Velociprey in mid-air. The Burst Blade was slightly stalled under the impact force brought by the Velociprey.

Then, with a sound of flesh and bone being torn, it continued to swing out a perfect arc and slammed the Velociprey, which had already become a corpse in an instant, heavily onto the ground.

The shattered internal organs, bones, muscles and blood flew in all directions. The smell of blood was so strong that it was nauseating.

Cut in Two with One Stroke!

The remaining two Velocipreys were obviously frightened by this bloody scene.

Their figures that were about to rush forward stalled. Their eyes looking at the steel blade were full of vigilance and fear. Even their hissing was far less confident than before.

They were in fear.

Even Gordon himself was slightly stunned by this terrifying scene of flying flesh and blood.

But soon he realized that the battle was not over. He casually shook off the flesh, blood and broken bones on the Burst Blade. Gordon set his sights on the remaining two Velocipreys.

Having learned the lesson from the first Velociprey, the other two Velocipreys gave up the leaping attack and cautiously approached Gordon one in front and one behind.

Since the greatsword was very heavy, Gordon's speed was significantly reduced when holding it with both hands.

He also knew that the greatsword didn't win by speed. So he slowed down his steps, stared vigilantly at the remaining two Velocipreys, and waited for the opportunity to strike.
