Chapter 73 The breeding season is here.
For the first time, Gordon thought, is it so much fun in the hunting ground?
The two grown men ate haise, fished and hunted all day long, and explored and collected all kinds of random things. More than half a week passed in the blink of an eye.
There are only two days left before the mission deadline. If you don’t hurry up and get down to business, if you fail to pay enough mission items on time, it will be considered a mission failure and the contract fee will be deducted.
So, even if both of them feel that they have not had enough fun, they must set out to hunt shield crabs and collect the best crab roe.
"Brother Ted, do you know which area around here has more frequent shield crab activities?"
After a few days of crazy play, Gordon and this bald man who had just known each other for less than half a month, started to develop from the very beginning. What started out as ordinary friends has turned into good brothers now, and we have become much closer in terms of titles.
Ted finally got serious and was ready to hunt. At this time, Ted put on a full-face helmet, and his voice sounded a little loud. He nodded and replied:
"Go along the coast. Walking south for a while, there is a river that merges into the sea. Only in this kind of sea water and fresh water can the river flow into the sea. Female shield crabs will lay eggs only under the special stimulation of the intersection area, and male crabs will also fertilize the crab eggs there.
It should not be the breeding season of shield crabs yet, but there are some impatient guys. , will run to occupy the position early, and we can go and guard there.”
Gordon gave him a surprised look.
It is not surprising that Ted knows where there are many shield crabs. He has been a hunter for more than ten years, and he always knows the ecological distribution of the hunting ground near his home.
But from a biological perspective, why there are so many shield crabs in that place is not something that ordinary hunters can answer. The vast majority of hunters are simple-minded guys with well-developed limbs, and Ted is one of them. The kind of typical among typical.
Looking at this guy’s appearance, he doesn’t look like someone who likes reading, right?
Noticing Gordon's gaze, Ted did not hide it, but said proudly: "Dad told us these!"
Oh, Mr. Miles, it's all right.
The old man is the kind of person who goes to the library to kill time in his free time. If he puts on a bachelor's robe and a pair of monocles, he can blend into the books with his calm and preachy temperament. None of the soldiers showed any disobedience.
"But the problem is, if there are famous shield crabs nearby, they will probably go there. I don't care, but Gordon, are you okay?"
If so. For those who are not familiar with it, they may think that Ted's words are somewhat contemptuous, but Gordon knows that this guy is just worried about him.
"No problem! The Daimyo Shield Crab is a monster with a three-star rating. Even if we fight alone, it may be a bit bragging to say we will win, but I am still confident of protecting myself."
Gordon seemed very confident, and Ted knew that this young man was not the kind of person who was blindly optimistic about his own strength, so he no longer worried.
But out of caution, he still introduced information about this large crustacean monster to Gordon.
“The Daimyo Shield Crab and the Shield Crab actually belong to the same species, just like the Peach Hair Beast King and the Peach Hair Beast. However, as crustaceans, they have low IQs and are not social species, so they do not have groups. The argument with the leader
As the age increases, the body of the shield crab grows. Their size will continue to increase, and at the same time, they will continue to replace the bone shells on their backs. When their body size reaches a certain level, the bone shells on their backs will also be replaced by the skulls of flying dragon species, and they will be called 'Damyo Shield Crabs'. "
"The skull of a flying dragon?" Gordon confirmed with some surprise.
"Well, it's usually the skull of a one-horned dragon. You know, the skull of a horned dragon is so huge that it can protect the entire back of a daimyo shield crab.
The sharp horn can also become a daimyo shield crab. Weapons, be careful not to stand directly behind them. It is very dangerous to suddenly retreat and use the dragon's horn as a spear to attack."
"Okay, I understand." Gordon took note of this information carefully.
“The dragon skull on the back of the Daimyo Shield Crab and their crab claws are very hard, and it is definitely impossible to break through with the sharpness of the weapon.
At the same time, they also have crab claws to wield. There are various attack methods such as shooting, foam spraying, etc. If we encounter that Daimyo shield crab, you just need to remember to stand on its side and continue attacking its legs
I'll get its attention head-on, don't worry. "
"Stand sideways and keep attacking the legs, right? I made a note of it. "Gordon repeated the key points and nodded in agreement.
Ted suddenly patted Gordon's back hard and said with a smile: "Ha, you don't have to be so nervous, stay away when the time comes. It's all fine. As long as I'm here, a mere shield crab can't make any waves. "
Gordon smiled and punched back, "I won't hide behind and be a coward. Speaking of which, Brother Ted, from what you said, the probability of us encountering a famous shield crab is quite high. ? "
"Nine times out of ten. ”
Ted answered casually, while Gordon exclaimed in shock: "Isn't that almost certain to happen?!"
Ted chuckled, "As we said before, that's Of course the famous Shield Crab will go there, as you gain more experience in hunting.
The probability of encountering large monsters in gathering and subjugation missions is not low. But most of the time, you just need to run, and there is no need to fight head-on.
On the contrary, when hunting large monsters, the probability of other large monsters getting in is smaller. After all, large monsters have their own territory. . ”
Gordon then realized that his previous experiences of encountering the giant wild boar king, male and female fire dragons, and the king of the Strange Face Tribe were nothing unusual at all.
The reason why everyone in the assembly hall was surprised was mainly because the danger of these monsters was quite high, and also because Gordon, a two-star hunter, was able to come back safe and sound
Wait!
Gordon suddenly realized a problem - why when Ted talked about the famous shield crab, he was teaching him how to fight.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t we retreat?
Without keeping the doubt in his heart, Gordon asked directly: "Speaking of Brother Ted, the Daimyo Shield Crab shouldn't move very fast. Why do we have to fight it?"
Ted paused, touched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Have you discovered it? Hey, actually, I want to try the crab roe of the famous shield crab.
If the crab roe of the shield crab They are all top quality, Isn’t the famous shield crab super?”
Gordon: “.”
If Senior Yamos were here, I’d probably have to teach this guy a lesson. Be aware of the fragility of the ecological chain.
"What if, is that a male Daimyo shield crab?" Gordon couldn't help but ask again.
Ted smiled mysteriously, but unfortunately Gordon couldn't see it because he was wearing a helmet.
"Actually, there is another purpose, or a surprise? It's too early to tell you now. I will tell you after I really get rid of the famous shield crab, so as to save you from any trouble. It would be a pity for you to meet him."
Gordon felt a little depressed when he heard this. Now that you've said that, I care more, okay?
