Permanent Barrier - Daimyo Shield Crab:

The shield crab family lives in groups in tropical areas, but there is no social relationship between them. Small individuals are called small shield crabs, and large individuals are called daimyo shield crabs or king shield crabs. The carapace gradually becomes larger and stronger, but its belly is always relatively soft, so the shield crab needs to look for the dorsal carapace.

The dorsal carapace chosen by shield crabs is mostly the skulls of other animals. In fact, as long as the hardness is appropriate and can accommodate shield crabs to burrow into it, they may be inhabited by shield crabs, and human pickling pots and armor have been used by shield crabs.

With its own growth, the shield crab will constantly change its back armor to be more comfortable. When a new carapace is found, the crab will measure its size with its own crow, and if the size is suitable, the crab will discard the old carapace. Different daimyo shield crabs use different dorsal armor, with daimyo shield crabs carrying huge dragon skulls, while their subspecies, the purple shield crab, tend to use huge beast skulls.

The shield crab has a very mixed diet, from all kinds of plants to animal carcasses are its food, its wide feet can dig through the sandy soil to find plants, can also peel off the carapace of large monster carcasses, and can even hunt; When you catch the food with your feet, you immediately bring it to your mouth and chew it, and some inexperienced hunters are eaten by the daimyo shield crab. Remnants of eating can sometimes come in handy too; Some scholars speculate that the skull on the back of the daimyo shield crab is likely the remnant of eating the corpse of a large monster.

If you notice dust rising from time to time on the ground, it is the shield crabs breathing underground. The small shield crab is not strong in digging and can only allow itself to be completely buried in the dirt, but the daimyo shield crab can move in the dirt potentially, and the speed is not slow. This stealth technique is usually only used as a means of movement, and when an enemy comes to attack, the daimyo shield crab will also quietly move to the intruder's feet and attack with a devastating back armor thrust. If on the ground, the daimyo shield crab can shrink its body, and with the hardness of its feet, it can withstand the attacks of most predators.

Because of frequent digging in the ground, it is inevitable that gravel will be drilled into the dorsal carapace, and in this regard, the shield crab can secrete liquid from the gland to wrap the grit, harden it into a bead-like discharge, which is the so-called "dorsal armor pearl".

Despite being a burrowing creature, its habit of spitting bubbles when angry suggests that the Daimyo Shield Crab is likely capable of surviving in water, a conjecture that was finally confirmed in the Roaring Isles: the Daimyo Shield Crab was first spotted on the Roaring Islands, indicating that it can swim and survive in both saltwater and freshwater.

Another particularly dangerous move of the daimyo shield crabs is foam spitting, which sometimes absorbs some liquid and sprays it out in the form of foam. As for these foams, in addition to their great impact, they also have different effects depending on the liquid absorbed. For example, the daimyo shield crab that lives in the swamp will spew highly poisonous foam; Those who live in the forest do not emit bubbles, but shoot a column of high-pressure water; The desert dwellers emit flammable and sticky oil bubbles, but personally, I think the most dangerous ones are the ones that live near volcanoes, and some of them even emit magma instead of hot steam.

"Givwell! Are you ready over there? Joseph shouted. The ice circle was surrounded by a fierce wind, mixed with ice and snow howling in unison. Joseph had to shout with several times the force.

"Not yet! The geology on my side is very hard, and the materials provided by Mr. Michael can't be buried at all! I may need some more time! Gvir shouted as he dug into the ground with his dagger.

"Oh my God! No way! I feel like my dagger is about to break! Mr. Joseph, I'll need to borrow your axe, that guy has enough weight! ”

"Alright, alright, you take it!" Joseph held himself steady as he handed over his precious axe.

Giver reached for it with one hand, but he miscalculated not only the weight of the axe, but also the strength of his arm. Geville's arm sank with the action of taking the axe, and the axe was crooked in his hand, and the blade slammed into the ground as if it made a 'bang', but no one heard it in the snowstorm.

"Hey! Youngster! Attention, that axe is very dear! Joseph roared.

Gvir was a little embarrassed—embarrassed by Joseph's roar and embarrassed by his own arm strength. So he quickly picked up the axe with both hands and slashed at the ground under his feet, smashing a large hole in a few blows.

After that, he quickly returned the axe to Joseph under his distressed gaze, and then took out a shiny Xiaoice ball and buried it in the pit. "Alright, the last one is ready! Mr. Joseph, let's go and meet Mr. Michael. With that, Geville and Joseph left together. On the way, they meet the returning Yorke and Jinx, and the two men merge into one. When they arrived at the agreed meeting point, they found that the others were already waiting for them.

"Looks like we're the last of us." Jinx sighed.

Joseph looked at Giver but did not speak, and Giver turned a deaf ear to Joseph's accusation. It's not that he doesn't care, but because he cares too much, he chooses to ignore it to leave the last bit of dignity for himself.

"Alright, the mana nodes are all set, and now, we're going to destroy this circle, hopefully it will stop the temperature in the Zamir territory." Michael said to everyone.

"Michael, it's up to you." Joseph said.

Michael shrugged his shoulders as if he were taken for granted, and then motioned for everyone to withdraw from the circle, leaving him alone.

"Please be careful, Mr. Michael!" Giver was a little uneasy, for though Mr. Michael was very erudite, he was better known for his liberty and penchant for being clever. In such an important task, he was afraid that something would go wrong with Mr. Michael. At times, Givell would question his father's trust in Mr. Michael, but he apparently didn't know Michael as well as his father, who never had a problem with right and wrong, and he was very reliable.

"Michael, will you stay in the circle? Joseph stopped talking.

"Don't worry, Joseph, this is the center of the formation, and I'll be fine. I am here to detonate the entire circle, and the remnants of the circle will be channeled into the sky and underground, and returned to Elsa. ”

Joseph looked at Michael's location and said suspiciously, "Eh, Michael, are you sure this is the center?" I remember it as a location close to the perimeter. ”

Michael waved his hand and said, "Oh, this is talking about the circle, not that the center of the position is the center of the circle... ”

"Okay, okay, you're a wizard, you're up to you." Joseph scratched his head and had no choice but to evacuate the circle with everyone.

Seeing that everyone was safely avoided, Michael drew his wand and swiped it above his head, a shield covering his entire body, and then he chanted a spell and shot a multicolored light into the air. Then, more than a dozen rays of light rose from the place where everyone had buried the beads before, and crossed the sky in an arc, converging towards Michael's head. Shoot into the sky and earth after contact.

As the earth trembled and the sky roared, the light passed, and the wind and snow came to an abrupt end.
