Shower Chapter 69: Fighting Wits (3)

"The Biology of Elsa" - Jane Goodall. :

Strange Ape Fox:

The fox has large ears and a trunk like an elephant's trunk, but its whole body resembles that of an ape. Ivory beast species. Dexterous monsters with sharp claws and huge ears can move through dense trees and glide through the air for short periods of time. When angry, he will cover his face with his big ears to intimidate his opponents.

It is also common to see the fox in the ruins and in the plains, the fox is very playful, it will jump among the vines, sometimes it will rob caravans for food, and sometimes it will only ask passers-by for it - it really depends on the mood of the monkey. When fighting enemies, usually hunters, ronin, or mercenaries, the Monkey Fox will cover its eyes with its huge ears and gently spit on the hunter - possibly snot.

However, in actual combat, the Strange Ape Fox is also a monster that should not be underestimated. The fox is very agile, often jumping around with vines, and the hunter needs to keep an eye on the fox movements, otherwise it is very easy to escape or sneak attack.

Its attacks are as follows:

Water Iron Cannon:

This move is launched by the Strange Ape Fox using the mana storage organ under its own ears to release blue mana to assist the Strange Ape Fox's bodily fluids (snot or saliva), and there are two attack modes. One is a slow, high-impact water bomb attack, and the other is a short, fast, slash of water, which consumes a lot of mana but is powerful enough to cut the trunk of a tree with a thick bowl mouth. If ordinary leather armor is directly hit by this move, there will only be one end - dismemberment on the spot.

Flutter Catch:

An attack that glides forward for a distance and then claws into the ground with its claws. More powerful.

Rotary flutter grab:

Striking the ground with its claws and spinning, the Monkey Fox cannot be approached at all, and enemies who approach it will be mercilessly beaten and thrown out.

Air Spin:

Hang your tail from the vine and spin it with your paws spread. Usually a skill that is only used when the prey is under the vine.

Pulling the vines:

The Monkey Fox is a clever and playful beast, it will sometimes use its forearms to grab the rattan and pull it up and down, if there is an enemy standing on the vine or on the branch, it will fall into a concussion, and if there is something unfortunate, it will be thrown off, and sometimes the Strange Ape Fox will use this trick to bind the prey.

The Proud King of the Tooth Beasts, the Golden Lion:

The Golden Lion is a mysterious ivory beast monster. Its ecological research basically relies on scholars who study the real dragon, because its destructive power and mystery are already equal to that of the real dragon. Its unique transformation mode terrifies all enemies, and it is known as the "King of Tooth Beasts".

The golden lion is an extremely rare creature, and due to its pitch-black appearance and modest physique, it is not easy to be seen. However, after the battle of life and death, most of the hunters who escaped by chance were silent about it, which made the true face of the golden lion foggy. It has been found in two places with completely opposite climates, scorching volcanoes and bitterly cold snow-capped mountains, and there are two legends: black fur and golden fur. It has always been thought to have two different kinds of creatures. It wasn't until a wizard succeeded in hunting it that it became known: it was a creature with black body hair that turned golden when excited.

The Golden Lion possesses an astonishing strength that is completely out of match for its physique, as evidenced by its thick arms and high protruding deltoid muscles, and the hunters who have survived its hands claim that the Golden Lion can single-handedly lift a stone much larger than itself to smash intruders. The horns on its head are so destructive that it is said that even the scale armor of a true dragon can be easily shattered. The crushing of heavy punches and the jabbing of horns are the main hunting methods of the golden lion, and the thick canine teeth can crush the skull of the prey, and the forelimbs can tear the prey apart. And when encountering a strong enemy, the golden lion can also destroy it with ruthless thunder and lightning.

Such a powerful combat power coupled with a short temper led to the fact that almost no one could complete the hunt for golden lions. There are only two documented hunts for golden lions, one with the sorcerer Victor Hook and the secret hunter 'Lone Wolf' Dietas, and the second time when Marquis Blue of the Doro Empire led 150 Snow Bear soldiers to surround a golden lion.

The research on the principle of the transformation of the golden lion has been carried out for a long time, and it was finally found that the hair of the golden lion is layered, the inner layer of hair remains black, and has a certain insulation effect, the outer layer of hair has excellent electrical conductivity, usually black, when excited, the hormone secreted from the skin gland will stimulate the outer layer of hair to turn golden, coupled with the contraction of the erector hair muscle, the outer layer of hair stands up, like the lion's mane. Hence the name of the golden lion. Since no electrical organs such as electrical bags were dissected in the golden lion's body, it can be speculated that the lightning "spit out" by the golden lion was formed by the electric field created by the outer layer of hair. The electric current that is not blocked by the inner hair enters the golden lion's body, stimulating the muscles and greatly increasing the strength.

The Golden Lion has no fixed territory, and its ability to appear in snowy mountains and volcanoes proves that it has a strong ability to adapt to the environment. But according to members of the royal family of the Holy Falcon Empire, who commissioned the hunt of golden lions, the coat made of the fur of the golden lion was not warm at all; Guild scholars dissected the remains of the golden lion and found no thick fat layer, which can prove that the golden lion is not cold-tolerant. As for the reason why the golden lion haunts the snow-capped mountains that are not suitable for survival, the guild scholars speculate that it may be for hunting, or it may be to stimulate the nerves by the cold climate to stimulate the body's potential.

The breeding and growth process of the golden lion is still an unsolved mystery.

The following is an ancient document about the Golden Lion:

The pitch-black, furious beast surpassed human intelligence. When confronted with it in person, the action makes people think that the creature in front of them is in a different physical space than ours. The violent, blinding light pushes people into the darkness of the night. But that's just the state that it hasn't used its full strength, and the power buried deep in its body is still and silent. When the pitch-black form disappears, the full golden wings will appear, and the beast will take the form of a lion, the kind of bravery that dwarfs the previous raging beast, and even makes people feel the humility of the black form.

"Thank you for the introduction, Mr. McLagan, and I propose, before the feast begins, a toast to the lads' future!" As she spoke, the old lady took the lead in raising her glass, and everyone followed suit.

"Oh! Don't look like you've eaten a lemon, Caudore, I know you don't drink alcoholic beverages - you have lemonade in your quilt - or do you think lemonade is too sour? The old lady teased.

How could Caudore fall for this, he immediately raised his glass and said, "Oh, of course not, Mrs. Graynn, not at all. Actually, I personally like lemonade very much - but I'm a bit of a cleanliness person, and I was just checking to see if there was a 'buzzing' fly in my cup. ”

"Did you find it? Mr. McLagan? Golden Wheat City doesn't have these flies. The old lady was a little dissatisfied.

"Actually, no, I mean, if there were, I wouldn't have toasted together, would I? I will certainly remind all of you to pay attention. However, although there are no buzzing flies in Golden Wheat City, I am a little worried that there is enough space in the threshing floor to store wheat and have a place for people to put their feet. With that, Caudore stared into Old Lady Green's eyes.

The atmosphere on the field was a little strange, and for a moment the entire small banquet hall was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.

Anna wanted to say something to defuse the awkward atmosphere, but there seemed to be an impenetrable storm surrounding the two of them, and the two seemed to wrestle in a whirlpool, and she opened her mouth, but did not say a word. Anna couldn't help but feel annoyed.

The first to speak was Old Lady Green, who seemed to back down, "Mr. McLagan, you have been overly concerned, the threshing floor is only a place where wheat is handled, and it is the castle that welcomes guests and allies who come with goodwill and interests... ”
