Chapter 75: Traces of the Daimyo Shield Crab
In the next hour or so, Gordon encountered three more shield crabs one after another. There was no suspense in the battle, but the collection part felt a bit like a lottery.
With the protection of the transshipment gold coins, Gordon has gained a lot - at least that's what he thinks.
There are two female crabs among the three shield crabs. Including the previous ones, he has collected three copies of the best crab roe, and it seems that he is not far away from the five copies required by the mission.
As for the last one, yes, it is a male crab, without crab roe.
but! Gordon collected other good things from him, which was a rare material called "black pearls".
Logically speaking, shield crabs, as crustaceans, do not produce pearls themselves, but their diet also includes sea shells that produce pearls.
So, sometimes if you are lucky, you can find this precious biological gem in their stomach pouch.
——Just like the one in Gordon's hand.
Although it is not smooth and round enough, and the color is not so black and bright, it cannot be sold as gems to the big businessmen in the city, but it is also used when making certain weapons and armors.
Gordon happily put it away.
“I wonder how many pieces of crab roe have been collected by Brother Ted? There can’t be none, right?” Gordon said to himself, and couldn’t help laughing in the middle of the sentence. .
"Haha, let's hurry up and collect five copies before he opens. His face will be very interesting by then, hehe!"
Some points Gordon suddenly missed his footing and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly supported the ground with his hands to maintain his balance.
Looking back, he stepped on the shield crab's footprint again.
But this time, the footprints he stepped on were extraordinarily large, each one the size of a plate, and more than two circles larger than the cup mouth of an ordinary shield crab.
Gordon's face tightened.
There is no need to guess, it is obvious that these are the footprints left by the Daimyo Shield Crab.
Gordon subconsciously lowered his body slightly and placed his right hand on the hilt of the explosive knife behind his back, guarding against the possible attack in the next second.
After carefully and quickly observing the surroundings, Gordon found nothing, but Gordon was still not completely relieved.
The shield crab is a species that is very good at burrowing into the ground. As an older individual in the group, there is no reason why the daimyo shield crab cannot master this skill. Maybe at this moment, it is lurking under his feet.
Looking at the direction of the forest belt, Ted should be nearby.
From a safety perspective, he should join his companions now, but considering the face problem unique to teenagers, the choice is different.
Before, I promised Ted that I would be able to protect myself even if I faced the Daimyo Shield Crab alone. But now I don’t even see the shadow of the Daimyo Shield Crab, only a few footprints. He hurriedly ran to seek shelter.
Don’t you feel too embarrassed?
Of course, Gordon didn't intend to mess around. He just wanted to find out the specific location of the famous shield crab before running to fight Ted. In this way, both face and safety could be guaranteed.
Having made a decision in his heart, Gordon immediately slowed down and slowly explored the direction of the footprints with an almost silent and gentle pace.
Most monsters don't care, let alone take the initiative to clean up the footprints they leave. This is especially true for crustaceans whose IQs are already at the bottom among large monsters.
Ten minutes later, Gordon followed the tracks and successfully found the huge crustacean monster.
At first, when he saw the rotten skull that was the size of a house, he almost didn't react. He subconsciously thought it was just an ordinary skeleton and almost walked out.
Fortunately, what Ted said before, "The Daimyo Shield Crab likes to use the skulls of flying dragons as carapace, especially the skulls of Dioceratops" reminded him.
Look at that three-meter-long, straight and sharp horn like a spear. Isn’t it the most well-known feature of Monoceratops?
Although the body of the shield crab cannot be seen from his side, Gordon knows that shield crabs have the habit of resting in their shells. This shield crab is probably taking a nap here. .
Taking a nap and sleeping, I really wanted to give it a sleep attack.
A stupid idea was about to come to mind, but he finally gave up this unreliable idea.
Suppressing his breathing and controlling his steps, Gordon quietly exited the area.
Although Mian Zhan is really cool, this time, let's give the opportunity to Ted. The power of the Blaster Dragon's cannon is much stronger than the three-stage charge of his Explosive Knife.
It was only then that Gordon realized how far he had followed the footsteps of the famous shield crab.
It took him more than half an hour to find Ted who was chasing shield crabs everywhere in the dense forest.
In fact, after the previous separate search, the distance between the two of them had exceeded expectations. Gordon was very glad that he did not mess up, otherwise even if he used a signal flare to ask for help, Ted might not be able to arrive in time. rescue.
"What? You've collected three pieces of crab roe, and you've also tracked down the famous shield crab?" Ted stared, his scarred face looking fierce.
“Yes!” Gordon was also a little proud and answered simply.
"We have just collected two pieces, and I actually lost again?" Ted looked angry, and Gordon suddenly discovered that this old man seemed to have a strong desire to win.
In order to cheer up this guy, Gordon started to draw a cake, "If that famous shield crab is a female and you collect super-quality crab roe from it, then you will have another comeback.
Although the mission goal has been achieved, we haven’t settled yet, so the game is not over yet!”
Damn it, when did we say we were going to compete? Gordon cheered Ted up while cursing in his heart.
"Yes, that makes sense! There is also the famous shield crab in the finale. I haven't lost yet!"
Ted, who was a little weak, immediately jumped up and kicked The carcass of the male shield crab beside Kai had been turned to pieces, but it was obviously impossible to dig out the crab roe.
"Let's go! You said that Daimyo Shield Crab is still sleeping? What a great opportunity to sleep! What are we still hanging around here? Run forward, run forward!! We will reach the target in ten minutes, this time The uncle wants to kill it with his own hands!”
Before he could finish speaking, Ted ran out, as if whoever got to the shield crab first would own it. Similar.
Seeing Ted running away, Gordon immediately took steps and followed closely behind.
In fact, he could walk over slowly.
In Ted's eyes, a monster like the Daimyo Shield Crab is similar to the Blue Speed Dragon King in Gordon's eyes. It is the kind of prey that can always be successfully captured as long as you don't close your eyes. Is there any latter? It doesn't matter if you don't help at all.
But Gordon had an inexplicable feeling that if Ted was too late, he would lose.
Huh? Doesn’t it turn out that my desire to win is not weak? (End of chapter)
