Chapter 54: The Daimyo Shield Crab
I can't finish saying the parting words for a long time, but the time is actually like this, and when it was time to start leaving, the four of them didn't have much delay. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The first stop on your trip was Gio? Vendreo Street, but that doesn't mean they'll get there all at once, and they'll have to pass through a lot of places along the way, seeing all the way, and helping hunting where they need to go. It took more than a day for the four of them to walk out of the southern wilderness, and in front of them was a village that didn't seem to be large.
The village is on the south side of the Kadi Shuhai, and it is also a village close to the sea of trees, but Pokai Village rarely came to this village before, and there was no trade volume, and the town to which this village belonged was also relatively far away from Pokai Village, and the Pokai caravan did not set foot in this area for a while. However, the village has heard of the name of Pokei, and some people have even left their homes to work in Pokey, leaving behind orphans and widows.
The village chief of the village is an old man, maybe the old man was also a hunter when he was young, and his figure is still relatively strong, but the scars on the part of his body that cannot be covered by the clothes still make Li Hong and the four of them admire. The old man was very happy to receive a few hunters, and the reason was naturally because he was asking for help.
"There is a famous shield crab in the big river north of the village, so that the fishermen dare not go to the river to fish, but the hunters in the village do not have enough strength to crusade, and they don't know when Maple Leaf Town will send hunters to help crusade, alas......" The old man did not beat around the bush, and directly explained his intentions. However, Li Hong's directness to the old man is quite right, and he has something to say, and it is useless to say too much and some are useless.
Li Hong decided to help this village crusade against the famous shield crab, with four people, even a monster with a danger level 3 should be no problem. After agreeing to the old man's mission, Li Hong and the others purchased some supplies locally, compared to Li Hong and Loki's inventory, which is relatively limited, use a little less, in order to deal with the emergency that may arise, of course, the high-quality medicine produced in Bokai Village will not be consumed at will.
And Li Hong, as the village chief of Bokai Village, will he still suffer himself when he travels? Li Hong alone has hundreds of gold coins on his body, and it doesn't even cost a dozen gold coins to buy some supplies, and there will be a lot of surplus if he successfully completes the task. The task reward given by the old man is secondary, the task of crusading against the Daimyo shield crab is only 28 gold coins, and the big head is still selling the loot, since it is a trip all the way, of course, he will not bring too many things, and the loot obtained will be sold locally, although the price will be lowered.
――――――――
The big river near this village is actually the one near Pokai Village, but the section that flows through Pokai Village is upstream, and it should be the middle stream near this village. Li Hong saw the direction of the big river, and no matter how good his eyesight was, he couldn't see the end.
The shield crab is a crustacean monster that is generally active during the warm and breeding periods, and will begin to prepare for hibernation after the harvest period. It's the warm period, and it's the time when the daimyo shield crab begins to be active, and after the hibernation period, the current daimyo shield crab is probably the stage when it needs to find food the most, and the daimyo shield crab is particularly fierce at this stage, as an omnivorous creature, the moss at the water's edge, the corpse of a fish, and the insects in the sand, as long as the shield crab touches something that looks like it can eat, it will be sent to the mouth.
Shield crabs are called shield crabs because they like to carry back armor, which is the skull or other skeletal remains left behind by the corpses of other creatures, and they use the back armor to protect themselves. The huge shield crab is called the daimyo shield crab, and the reason why they are judged to be monsters with a danger level of 3 is probably because the back armor on their backs has grown to the height of the daimyo shield crab is more than two meters high, and the crab claws are longer than themselves, and the sturdy back armor and crab claws with huge destructive power make them a great threat to hunters and ordinary humans.
Fortunately, the Daimyo Shield Crab found in this village is not a relatively mature individual, and it can probably only be called the little guy of the Daimyo Shield Crab, with a human-tall body and crab claws that are only more than two meters long, but it is also a big challenge for Li Hong's team. It carried the skull of a horned dragon on its back.
Loki didn't choose to rush out immediately to fight the Daimyo Shield Crab, but let the four of them disperse to see if there were still many younger brothers around, the Shield Crab is a social creature, and in the case of the Daimyo Shield Crab, the Shield Crabs will naturally choose to live under the protection of the Daimyo Shield Crab, only in this way can they ensure that their own race will not be slaughtered too badly.
The small shield crabs can't carry the back armor with too good defense because of their size, and at the same time, they are not too good in terms of combat power, as long as there are two or three speed dragons or a peach fur beast, it is enough to get a small shield crab, and the crab roe sauce and pearls produced by the shield crab are also very valuable things for human beings, without the protection of the daimyo shield crab, the results of their small shield crabs can be imagined.
"The specific situation, find out clearly, if, the observation is not, if it is wrong, the Daimyo shield crab, around, there are no less than, 20 small shield crabs, lurking, they, generally, bury their bodies under the sand by the river, feel, when there is prey, approaching, they will suddenly, jump out, with a strong, crab claw, grasp the prey." Loki synthesized the observations of the four people and concluded, and Loki's knowledge is still very rich, and he is clear about the ecology of the shield crab, "Later, me and Rambo are responsible for containment, and that one, the Daimyo shield crab, brother, you and Garina, are responsible for cleaning up the miscellaneous fish." ”
Loki's speech has improved a lot compared to the beginning, and now he says a series of words, in which there are not as many pauses as before, but it still takes a little time for him to say a paragraph, which requires continuous speaking and practice, and stuttering will not be cured all at once. Now that Li Hong is very satisfied with Loki's situation, he can at least express it relatively quickly.
As Loki assigned, all four drew their weapons. Loki and Rambo are both hunters who use knives, and it is very simple to contain the Daimyo Shield Crab, as long as you pay a little attention not to be attacked by its crab claws that are more than two meters long, the crab claws are one of the deadliest weapons of the Daimyo Shield Crab, and its bite force is difficult to resist even if it is the armor of the hunters, and many of the hunters who are buried in the hands of the Daimyo Shield Crab are because they are split in two by its crab claws alive.
Relatively speaking, the division of labor between Li Hong and Jia Linai is relatively easy. But it didn't get anywhere easily, and at least 20 trash fish were there.
