This crab is said to look like a turtle, but in fact, the carapace on the back looks more similar, not like the general crab carapace is flattened, but like a turtle high and convex, covered with straight stunned linear patterns, these patterns are combined with each other, forming an inexplicable and mysterious pattern. Especially near the head, several thin white lines intersect each other, forming a small circle, and from a distance, it looks like two extra big eyes grow on the back!

The size of these crabs is quite large, the size of an ordinary human head, and the larger ones are half a person high, and the largest one is more than one person tall, looking like a leader, their legs and pincers are very thick, even if they are reduced to the size of ordinary crabs in equal proportions, their pincers are also a lot thicker than normal crabs, and the most bizarre thing is that their whole body is not blue-black like ordinary crabs, but red like boiled crabs!

Catherine tried her best to control her emotions and not let herself roar at Master, and said with a smile: "Master, this 'hot spring' is quite warm, one or two degrees lower than boiling water, you see the crabs are cooked!"

"No, this hot spring contains certain impurities, and the boiling temperature should be higher than boiling water," Ling Mo replied solemnly: "And those crabs are scientifically named 'Turtle Monster Crabs', fire attribute demonic beasts, and their shells are originally red, not because they have been boiled." ”

Is there any difference?

Catherine was disgusted in her heart, watching those crabs eating in the boiling water, she asked Ling Mo with some pain: "Master, you won't tell me that you want me to go down to this boiling lake to catch crabs, right?" Although after getting the Andersen flame, I feel that my fire resistance has improved a lot, but I am not ready to be stewed!"

Ling Mo knocked Catherine's head amusedly, and pointed to the inside of the lake: "Your martial arts talent is very high, but your observation power is really weak, take a closer look, although this lake is indeed boiling, but where those crabs are, is it really boiling water?"

Hearing this, Catherine looked carefully at the crabs again, and after a while, she found something unusual! This 'boiling water lake' is connected to five clear streams, and the places where these red crabs gather are exactly at the entrance of the stream, and the hot air spews out from the dense pores at the bottom of the lake, making the lake boil, stirring up bubbles everywhere in the lake, only near these inlets, because the cold and hot water meet here, the temperature is not so high, so it seems calm.

Catherine suddenly realized: "I said that I thought it was so strange when I looked at it just now, there are constantly flakes of flocculent things falling on the heads of crabs, and if the water in that place is boiling, those flocculent objects should float upwards! I can't see it too far away, Master, what are those flocculent objects? I can only see those crabs keep stuffing them into their mouths." ”

"That's 'ocean snow'. ”

"Ocean snow?" Catherine chewed on the word, her eyes gradually curved into crescents: "This name is so meaningful!"

"Well, those streams that converge into the lake carry a large number of plankton, and the moment they enter the lake, the temperature rises sharply, coupled with the slight toxicity of the impurities in the lake, these plankton are killed in pieces almost instantly, and they gather into white clouds and slowly fall, just like a snow in the water, because this phenomenon usually appears near the mouth of the river, it is called 'ocean snow'," Ling Mo explained: " This crab feeds on the snow of the ocean, and what it does every day is to lie at the mouth of the creek and wait for nothing, so it is very lazy and very docile, and it is an excellent hunting target. ”

"Don't look at them like this, in fact, all of them are third-level and fourth-level demonic beasts, and they contain rich energy, the key is that the meat is very tender, and it is super delicious and sucky after charcoal grilling!" Speaking of this, Ling Mo sucked his saliva and urged: "The basic situation is understood, right? Don't waste time, hurry up and go down and catch two of them, it is recommended that you fish for about half a meter long." ”

Catherine made a 'command' gesture, walked quickly to a 'lake entrance', and was about to start, when she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned around and shouted to Ling Mo: "Master, I'll go down to catch their companions, these crabs won't come up to besiege me, right?"

"No!" Ling Mo said impatiently: "Except for a very few extremely social magical beasts, the vast majority of magical beasts don't have the concept of 'helping their companions' and 'rewarding their companions' at all, use your brain! A lion can chase dozens of bison running around, if they will cooperate sincerely, wouldn't the lions and leopards starve to death long ago?

Well, that sounds like a good point!

Catherine dispelled the last of her worries, and finally put her mind at ease, she first wrapped the cloak that Nerbay had burst off around her waist to act as a 'swim dress', then took a deep breath, jumped forward, and a fierce man plunged into the water!

As soon as she entered the water, she regretted it! She slapped Ling Mo ten thousand times in her heart: This bastard master cheated me again! The water where these crabs were located was indeed not boiling, but the water temperature was at least more than seventy degrees! It was still very uncomfortable for people who were hot! This was just it, and what was even more uncomfortable was that this water contained some strange substances, and his eyes would be stung and hurt after a while!

However, there was naturally no turning back arrow when the bow was opened, and naturally she couldn't return empty-handed when she entered the water, Catherine covered her body with a layer of faint flames, which was used to release the heat in her body, and then dived quickly, and within a few seconds, she came to the vicinity of the group of crabs, the nearest one, the distance to her was less than two meters!

At such a close distance, Catherine finally saw how these crabs eat, their mouthparts were very interesting, they were made of four square, almost square nail leaves, the huge pincers waved slightly, stirred up a small whirlpool, and sucked the nearby 'ocean snow', and sent it into a small ball to the mouth, and the four nail leaves on the mouthparts also opened in four directions like an automatic door, revealing the soft mouth inside, and sucked slightly, and ate the plankton group.

Catherine observed very carefully, and the crabs were very calm, as if they were not aware of her at all, and were still eating unhurriedly. Can she be so docile? She stared at a crab for a long time, and then suddenly wanted to peel it.

Do what she wants, Catherine took out the dagger given by Ling Mo, and stabbed it in with a knife while the other party was eating, and the nail leaf of the mouthpiece was opened!

Hiss~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!

Although the dagger stabbed deeply into the crab's mouth, the four 'nail leaves' closed too quickly and tightly clamped the blade of the dagger, so it could not penetrate the brain. The crab's claws, which had been hit hard, suddenly spewed out a yellow-green smoke from its jaws, and rushed straight towards Catherine's front door!
