Chapter Seventy-Three: The Breeding Season Has Arrived...

For the first time, Gordon thought, it turned out that it was so fun in the hunting grounds?

The two big men spent all day eating seas, fishing, hunting, and exploring around to collect all kinds of messy things, and more than half a week passed almost in the blink of an eye.

There are still two days left before the deadline of the mission, and if you don't hurry up and get down to business, once you fail to pay the task items on time, it will be counted as a mission failure and the contract money will be deducted.

So, even if both of them still feel that they haven't had enough, they must set off to hunt shield crabs and collect the best crab roe.

"Brother Ted, do you know which area around here has more shield crab activity?"

A few days of crazy play have made Gordon and this big bald head who have just known each other for less than half a month, from ordinary friends at the beginning, to good brothers now, and they have become a lot closer in terms of title.

Ted, who had finally gotten up and was ready to hunt, put on his full-coverage helmet at this time, and his voice was a little urn-like, and he nodded and replied:

"A little south along the coast, there is a river that flows into the sea, and only under the special stimulation of this area where the sea meets the fresh water will the female shield crab lay eggs, and the male crab will also be there, fertilizing the eggs.

It shouldn't be the breeding season for shield crabs yet, but some anxious guys will run early to take their places, and we can go there and keep watch. ”

Gordon looked at him in surprise.

It is not surprising to say that Ted knows where there are many shield crabs, people have been hunters for more than ten years, and the ecological distribution of the hunting grounds at his doorstep is always clear.

But from a biological point of view, why there are so many shield crabs in that place is not something that ordinary hunters can answer, most hunters are simple-minded and well-limbed guys, and Ted belongs to the typical of that type.

Looking at the appearance of this guy, he doesn't look like a person who likes to read, right?

Noticing Gordon's gaze, Ted didn't hide it, but said a little proudly: "These are all what Daddy told us!" ”

Oh, old man Miles, that's all right.

The old man belongs to the kind of person who will go to the library to pass the time in his spare time, if he changes into a bachelor's robe and wears a pair of monocles, with his calm and preachy temperament, it will not be inconsistent to blend into the scrivener team.

"But the problem is, if there are daimyo shield crabs around here, they will probably go there too, Uncle Ben doesn't care, but are you okay with Gordon?"

If you were an unfamiliar person, you might think that Ted's words were a little contemptuous, but Gordon knew that this guy was just worried about himself.

"No problem! The Daimyo Shield Crab is a three-star rated monster, even if it is alone, it may be a bit of a brag to say that it will win, but I am still sure of self-preservation. ”

Gordon seemed confident, and Ted knew that the boy was not the kind of person who was blindly optimistic about his own strength, so he was no longer worried.

But out of an abundance of caution, he introduced Gordon to the large carapace monster.

"The daimyo shield crab and the shield crab actually belong to the same species, just like the peach fur beast king and the peach fur beast, but as a crustacean species, they do not have a high IQ and are not a social species, so there is no talk of a group or leader.

As they grow older, they grow in size and change the shells on their backs, and when they grow to a certain level, they are called 'daimyo shield crabs'. ”

"The skull of the Wyvern?!" Gordon confirmed, somewhat surprised.

"Well, it's usually the skull of a horned dragon, you know, the skull of a horned dragon is very huge enough to protect the entire back of the daimyo shield crab.

The sharp horns can also be used as a weapon for the daimyo shield crabs, so be careful not to stand directly behind them, as it is very dangerous to suddenly retreat and use the dragon's horns as spears to thrust attacks. ”

"Okay, I see." Gordon carefully jotted down this piece of information.

"The dragon skull behind the Daimyo Shield Crab and their claws are very hard, and with the sharpness of your weapon, you will definitely not be able to break through.

At the same time, they also have a variety of offensive methods such as crab claw swing and foam spray, if we encounter that daimyo shield crab, you just need to remember to stand on its side and keep attacking its legs.

I'll catch its attention head-on, don't worry. ”

"Stand sideways and keep attacking your legs, right?" Gordon repeated the key, nodding yes.

Ted suddenly patted Gordon on the back and said with a smile: "Ha, you don't have to be so nervous, you can stay away when the time comes, with Uncle Ben here, a mere famous shield crab can't make any waves." ”

Gordon smiled and punched back, "I'm not going to hide behind and be a turtle with a shrunken head, Brother Ted, how can I listen to your statement, the probability of us encountering the Daimyo Shield Crab is quite high?" ”

"Nine times out of ten."

Ted replied casually, and Gordon exclaimed, somewhat shocked, "Isn't that almost certain encounter?!" ”

Ted smiled, "We also said it before, it's a breeding mecca for shield crabs, of course the daimyo shield crabs will go, well, when you have more hunting experience, you will gradually find out."

The probability of encountering large monsters in the gathering and slaying missions will not be low, but most of the time you only need to run and be done, and you don't need to be tough head-on.

On the contrary, in the process of hunting large monsters, the probability of other large monsters invading will be smaller, after all, large monsters have their own territory. ”

Only then did Gordon know that his previous experiences with the Great Boar King, the male and female fire dragons, and the king of the Strange Face Clan were not uncommon at all.

The main reason why everyone in the assembly hall was surprised was that the danger of these monsters was really high, and Gordon, a two-star little hunter, was able to come back alive and sound......

Wait a minute!

Gordon suddenly realized a question - why Ted was teaching the Daimyo how to fight when he talked about the Shield Crab.

Isn't it normal to retreat?

Without leaving the doubt in his heart, Gordon asked directly: "Speaking of which, Brother Ted, the movement speed of the Daimyo Shield Crab should not be fast, why do we have to fight it?" ”

Ted paused, he touched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment, "You found out?" Hehe, in fact, Uncle Ben wants to try the crab roe of the Daimyo shield crab.

If the crab roe of the shield crab is the best, then isn't the daimyo's shield crab superb? ”

Gordon: "......"

If Amos was here, I'm afraid he would have to teach this guy a good lesson and make him realize the fragility of the ecological chain.

"What if, that's a male daimyo shield crab?" Gordon couldn't help but ask again.

Ted smiled mysteriously, but unfortunately Gordon couldn't see it while wearing a helmet.

"Actually, there is another purpose, or rather, a surprise? It's too early to tell you, and when you really get rid of the Daimyo Shield Crab, Uncle Ben will tell you again, so you don't feel a pity if you don't run into it. ”

Gordon was a little depressed when he heard this.

If you say that, I care more, okay?
