Shower Chapter 59: The Changing Wind and Cloud (2)

"The Biology of Elsa" - Jane Goodall. :

Moonrise lurker - Tailed Scorpion.

The "tail crystal scorpion" has the appearance of a huge scorpion, and the extremely beautiful and fluorescent crystals covered in the outer layer of the carapace, the crystals on its tail are the most complete, and the back, head and claws are also covered with a relatively complete crystal layer, these crystals are precious 'glowing crystals', which are formed by the luminous body fluids of the tail crystal scorpion that solidify at the moment of contact with the air.

It is a carapace species that wraps a hard black-brown shell around its body. Only exposing the crystalline part of the tail to the ground can threaten the prey.

The tailed crystal scorpion is a very terrifying monster, and it is also one of the best in the carapace species. This monster is distributed in sand deserts, swamps, and white lakes, and is a huge alien crustacean species that has gradually flourished after a long period of species evolution. The Tail Scorpion is a monster found in the center of the sand desert, with a long tail and 4 glowing red eyes. The claws, head, back and other parts of the body are covered by hard crystalline stones (glowstone, special individuals are light crystals, super strong individuals are absolute crystals), especially the crystals at the front end of the tail are very large, so it is named tail crystal scorpion.

Predatory behavior:

In terms of predation, the tailed crystal scorpion likes to stick its tail out of the ground to lure prey, and it hunts with jaws that can crush ore. In many merchants, there is often a legend that the crystals sticking out of the ground should not be approached - especially glowstone, which is also an important evidence of its ecological research. In addition to luring prey, the crystals on the tail of the tail crystal scorpion are also extremely important weapons, and with its strong tail joints, the hedron slams at the insailant like a sledgehammer.

Glowstone:

The glowstone throughout its body is the result of the crystallization of the luminescent body fluids produced in its body, which freeze the moment it comes into contact with the air, turning into a crystalline object. It spews this fluid from the front end of its tail, crystallizing the carapace all over its body. From the carapace of the hunters, it can be seen that there are many repair marks from the past, and at a glance you can see the overlapping layers of the interior.

Research Value:

There is a special secretory gland in each part of the tail crystal scorpion, which can secrete the liquid substance that makes up the crystal, and this crystal liquid condenses into crystals on the surface of the tail crystal scorpion. In addition, the tail of the tail of the tail secretion gland is more developed than other parts, so that the tail crystal scorpion can spew crystal from the tail to the prey, the squirted crystal will adhere to the prey and slowly condense, which seriously affects the prey's mobility, and due to the weight of the crystal itself, it will also seriously consume the prey's physical strength, many hunters who challenge the tail crystal scorpion are in danger and lose their lives, but even some mana users often get hit.

Not only that, but unlike the crystals attached to the body surface of the tail crystal scorpion, the tissue structure of the crystals expelled from the body of the tail crystal scorpion is extremely unstable, and the crystals will slowly expand after absorbing heat and finally explode. The tail crystal scorpion often uses the characteristics of crystals in battles to spray a large amount of crystal liquid to the ground, so as to create a large volume of "crystal bombs", in this case, the tail crystal scorpion will move around the crystal, luring the enemy close to the "crystal bomb" to use the explosion to defeat the opponent, from the tail crystal scorpion's cunning habits can be seen that it has a high IQ that distinguishes it from other crust species. In addition, the body fluids in the body of the tail crystal scorpion are also very peculiar, when the tail crystal scorpion is alive, according to the injury received, its mood will change, with the fluctuation of the tail crystal scorpion's emotions, the color of its body fluids will also change, and the tail crystal scorpion's body fluids will not change after death. In other words, if the tailed crystal scorpion is defeated in different emotional states, it can obtain different colors of body fluids. In addition to magical crystals and tails, tailed crystal scorpions also have sharp pincers and strong limbs, so tail crystal scorpions have explosive power and jumping ability far beyond other crustacean species.

Its main moves are as follows:

Crystalline Armor:

The tail crystal scorpion is covered in glowstone crystals ejected from its tail, forming a powerful flash armor, which not only improves its defense and restores previously damaged parts, but in some cases, the carapace attached to the outside of the tail crystal scorpion will also have special effects.

Pincer Claw Strike:

Although the tail is the biggest trump card, the tail crystal scorpion mainly relies on powerful double pincers to capture the opponent when predating, and it is not particularly worrying in terms of destructive power, but the rapid action and the great threat range also need to be more vigilant, the tail crystal scorpion can use the pincers to open the bow left and right, and it will also increase the threat of pincer target at the same time. The tail crystal scorpion's double pincer bite is so strong that once the prey is caught by the pincers, the tail crystal scorpion will never let go, and its strength can even clip through strong soldiers and knights wearing steel full-body armor.

Tail Rays: Beams of crystalline streams eject from the tail crystal scorpion, often leaving a dazzling trail on the surface, and if hit, it will usher in the beginning of doom, so it must be avoided with great care. In the past, tailed crystal scorpions only emitted "S" shaped rays, but now there are reports that the ray trajectory is not the only one.

Crystal Burst: When the tailed crystal scorpion inserts the huge crystal at the end of its tail into the ground, in a very short period of time, by injecting explosive crystallization liquid, they are able to trigger a lethal burst effect that affects surrounding organisms.

"That's all I know." After saying that, Codore put the mask back on, revealing only two eyes, looking at everyone.

Jorgen seemed to have something to say, so he looked at Slava, who nodded to Jorgen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to add a piece of information. The Gruul tribe was also implicated, with Rurik of the Gohr plotting a series of riots in the Zamir territory to challenge the current Gruul leader, Gollum. The garrison of Fort Longtalon has captured a Tangnis who has confessed that he had been instructed by Gegit to provide weapons and funds for Rurik's rebellion in Zandmir territory, some of which have been confiscated and others are still being traced. Most of the weapons delivered to Zammir Territory have been confiscated, but it is worth paying special attention to the fact that a number of crossbows secretly delivered to Zammir Territory have not yet been traced. According to the captives' confessions, the total number of dangerous and high-lethal controlled weapons in this batch was as high as 120. Another thing worth mentioning is that the Shivana Eavewalker was hired by Gagette. ”

Jorgen looked at everyone and Slava asked, "Who else has any changes or out-of-phase to report?" You might as well say them in turn. ”

Spado stood up and saluted, and said, "My lord, I have a report below. ”

"Ah, Spado! You sit down! Sit down and say. Slava pressed down on his palm.

"Lords, everyone. The Wolf's Tooth Castle has felt a continuous tremor since last month, and the intensity is not particularly large. I had sent my soldiers out to investigate before I came to Longtalon - we suspected a group of Regretful Dragons near Wolftooth. However, there are no signs of the Dragon's life. Again, I suspect that someone is digging tunnels trying to get through the Ivory and into the interior of the Zamir Territory. So I urgently called a group of idle tenants to dig and explore, and we dug almost to a depth of 12 meters, but found nothing. The cause of the tremors has not yet been understood. ”

After Spado finished speaking, everyone present whispered, and the crowd was in a commotion.

"Quiet!" Slava reprimanded loudly. "Don't discuss it alone, who else has a report, say it together, and we'll discuss it later by synthesizing all the information!"

Michael's lazy voice rang out: "Slava, I have to remind you that in two months you will have to attend the triennial royal meeting of the Empire, so you will leave for Falkenridge in a month's time, and during the time you are away from the Zanmir Territory, Gegit is likely to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack." ”

Slava stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "It's a problem, but it's not a big one, and Anthony will temporarily take my place in my absence." ”

"Father, I have a piece of information here." Anthony said.

"Oh? Anthony, when did you start caring about intelligence? Michael asked lazily.

"Mr. Michael, I'll tell you the truth, Anna's suggestion." Anthony said dryly.

"Oh, Anna, good girl, what a good girl. Tell me about it. ”

"Anna suggested that I have some men to set up a camp in the tavern, whose main duties are to keep an eye on thieves, hunters, mercenaries, and bards. We got a piece of information from a bard from Tangennes who has issued a mysterious commission. This commission brought together a large number of mercenaries, thieves and hunters, and the size was around 1,200 people. The commissioner offered a price of 20 Imperial Silver Wolves each, and asked them to gather at a designated location to complete a large, secret mission that lasted four months. Now that they are gone, we have confirmed the reliability of this information from some thieves and mercenaries. Anna had been worried that it would be bad for the Zamir Territory, and according to her analysis, there was no one else who had the financial resources to issue this task except Simic United, the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce, and Gegit. The Orzhov Chamber of Commerce will not be in the same league as Gaget, and the Simic Union is mostly scholars, and it is never involved in the war of the nobility, so the client of this commission must be the old thief of Gaget. ”

"Very well analyzed, Anthony. Anna is a good boy, you are not wrong, neither am I, as a father I am glad to see you grow. Now, if there is no one to add information, let's analyze the coping strategy... ”
