"Fire crab?"

Apparently the halfling in charge of the mine had seen the creature Ron had described—Ron immediately grabbed the key point and asked.

During the conversation with Ryu, Ron learns more about the characteristics of the creature called the Fire Crab

"It's a cunning creature, about the size of a wild boar, and unlike other crabs that can only live in warm water, its nest is this boiling lava lake. ”

"And his food is also different from other crabs, which only eat meat, and this guy is a gluttonous eater of metal. ”

"A lot of copper ingots from our mine have been stolen and eaten!"

Ryu's words were quite angry—the halfling's mine had suffered a lot of damage because of the presence of the fire crab—which was also a great pressure on him as the head of the mine.

However, this time Ron's arrival may help him eliminate this serious problem, so Long's anger is quickly suppressed, and he takes Ron on on a tour of the entire mine, and Ron records several important points in his mind, including the location of the magma pool, the location of the copper ingots stored in the mine, and the houses where the miners live.

For Ron, the news provided by Ron was pretty good news - a crustacean that could adapt to the heat, liked to eat metal, and lived in magma - which fully met the requirements of Culkin, the metal cancer, and was enough for him to use all his strengths.

In this way, Ron's subordinates have another powerful combat force.

"By the way, Lord Ron, I forgot to tell you. ”

"We've also got a mercenary, and we'll probably be there in the next few days. ”

Halfway through the march, Ron suddenly remembered and told Ron another piece of news.

"I see. ”

The fire crab had apparently plagued the halfling clan long enough that they would rather spend a lot of money to destroy it - a demonic beast with the blood of an abyssal demon was better than the exemplary way no matter how it was calculated, and a mercenary with the strength to destroy this magical beast was not cheap.

............

For the next few days, Ron lived and lived with the miners during the day, and paid attention to the magma pool at night - according to the halfling, the first few times the fire crab appeared from the magma pool, and then went straight to the location of the mine to store the copper ingots - in this case, either this carapace monster has an extremely sensitive sense of smell for metal, or it is a habitual offender who is familiar with the location of copper ingots - after all, it is impossible for ordinary halflings to fight against this monster, and it is understandable to give up part of his property to let him eat a full meal to prevent hurting people.

And on the night of the ninth day of Ron's arrival at the mine, the fire crab reappeared!

"Obviously, that's it!"

Odom hovered silently in the air, his wings waving without making a sound—owls' feathers were fluffy and soft, enough to absorb the sound of flapping their wings and leave them undetected when they sneaked up on their prey—so Ron could enjoy the fire crab that had just crawled out of the lava in the air.

It was a fiddler crab-like crustacean, with a round body the size of a wild boar with a hushy orange sheen characteristic of brass, while one chelicerae was strong enough to act as a shield, and the other was skinny.

Like a normal crab, his movement pattern is also lateral - except that with each step, his toes blow small holes into the hard rocky ground - not because the tips of the crab are sharp, but because the heat of the toes melts the rocks!

"Culkin, are you satisfied?"

"Are you ready?"

"It's been ready for a long time!"

"Quick, let me touch it!"

Through Ron's eyes, Culkin also saw the fire crab that was rapidly crawling towards the location of the copper ingot stored in the mine, although it was different from Culkin's original body in shape, but this body seemed to be more suitable for combat than Culkin's original body - he was so excited that he quickly swam around the small island of the Heart Lake, crawling over and over again.

However, Culkin had the trouble of owning the body, and that was that the body hadn't lost the ability to resist — and that was what Ron needed to do.

"It's terrible, we only have Odom as a helper, and he's injured!"

Broken teeth go home, Agamem's body can't be brought with him, Odom's claws are injured, and he can only act as Ron's mount at the moment, this is the dilemma that Ron needs to face at this moment - he must rely on his own strength to lose the basic resistance of this fire crab and let Culkin's soul enter it.

However, during this time, Ron, who has three divinities, finally integrated the power of divinity into his system - the shooter mode, which could not be opened due to the loss of the Guardian's Bow, was also developed by Ron after the addition of divinity: Explosive Shot, Concussion Shot, and Rapid Shot!

Now, it's time to test the power of these skills that combine the power of divinity!

"It's starting to eat!"

"Good chance!"

While Ron waited, the huge orange-yellow fiddler crab had arrived at the copper ingot storage area - a pair of small erect eyes poked out of the carapace to make sure there was no danger around, and the fiddler crab picked up a piece of copper ingot with its chelicerae and quickly stuffed it into its mouth.

Immediately, the copper ingots are softened by the high temperature in the body of the fire crab - just like eating a piece of fruit juice gummies, the fire crab eats a piece of copper ingot after dividing it by two, and immediately takes another piece.

In the sky above the fire crab that was not paying attention, Ron commanded Odom to slowly lower the height, and the small crossbow in his hand aimed at the huge fiddler crab below.

Concussion Shot!

"Ding!"

There was a crisp crash, and Ron's arrows didn't break through the crab's carapace, and Ron didn't expect to break through the crab's carapace - the carapace of the carapace was not a show, his carapace was rich in a variety of metals, and had more defense than human-forged full-body armor.

But Ron's goal has been reached!

Because the concussive shot contained the divine power of the earth - immediately the movement of the fire crab slowed down by several beats, and even the action of discarding the copper ingot seemed to be a movie slowing down, stiff as if it were a machine.

"Success!"

"Test explosive fire or rapid fire next?"

Ron was a little complacent about the success of the concussive shot, and he told Odom to continue to lower the height, and then bet his chosen skill on the small hand crossbow, which immediately burned the corresponding faint flame in the front of the arrow.

Faster than Ron, however, was a burst of rage, and then a heavily armed warrior suddenly leaped out from behind the thick copper ingot, and a massive warhammer slammed into the shell of the fire crab.

"Boom!"

The same effect as facing the whole body armor - the huge concussive force of the war hammer pierced through the carapace of the fire crab, and the already sluggish fire crab spewed out a large amount of bright red magma and undigested copper ingots from its mouthparts - these magma were the blood of the fire crab, and he was already seriously injured!
