Chapter Seventy-Four: Only Female Crabs Have Crab Roe!
Ted's physical fitness can be called a pervert, from the hunter's camp to the point where the former said the river enters the sea, the distance in a straight line is three or four kilometers, and the road through the forest and the sea is difficult to walk, and the actual distance may be more than doubled.
Even if ordinary people walk so far with light clothing, they will inevitably be out of breath and sore, but this guy is fully armed and carries more than 100 kilograms, but his face still does not change, and he looks like taking a walk after a meal.
Even Gordon, who has always been proud of his physical fitness, has to admit that if the equipment of the two is swapped, he probably won't be able to do it so easily.
- The Rock Dragon set is much heavier than his Refined Ore set.
After dozens of minutes of rushing, a wide river outlet appeared in front of the two.
At this time, the water rushing into the sea and the regurgitating tide collided with each other, and the water was turbulent, stirring up countless white foam.
Perhaps because of the large amount of impurities brought by the river, the beach here is no longer delicate and white, but mixed with all kinds of irregular stones and sharp stone flakes, as well as a large amount of rotten wood and seaweed.
The metal shin armor creaks when you step on it, and if you walk a few steps barefoot, I'm afraid it won't be too comfortable.
Ted, who was leading the way in front, also stopped, he first sniffed pretendly, and then laughed, "Ha! This is it! Uncle Ben has already smelled the fishy smell of those shield crabs! ”
Gordon also tried to sniff, but only smelled the smell of the sea and the earthiness of the river, and glanced at Ted suspiciously, he had reason to suspect that the "smell of the shield crab" was nonsense.
However, if it is true that shield crabs prefer to spawn at the confluence of rivers and seawaters, then this is indeed the best place to breed.
"If you find a series of small deep pits on the ground, it should be the footprints of shield crabs, which can't stay on the ground for too long, but there should be a lot of shield crabs nearby, and you will get a harvest if you look for it a little.
Let's go our separate ways, don't stay too far away from each other, and if we encounter danger, move closer to us, Gordon is okay, right? ”
Gordon nodded, no objection.
It stands to reason that splitting up when hunting in a group is not a wise decision, and if it were Amos or Miles, they would certainly not approve of it.
Because they are all high-ranking hunters, they have encountered dangerous monsters that young people dare not think of, and the word "cautious" has long been deeply ingrained in their souls.
In contrast, Ted and Gordon are more efficient, and their opponents are just shield crabs, so it's really unnecessary for the two to deal with one, so it's better to spread out.
"Uncle Ben is afraid of the heat, so choose the side close to the dense forest, little brother Gordon, you search along the coast!" Ted grinned, and ran towards the forest belt.
Gordon smiled and searched the coastline alone.
He knew that Ted was taking care of himself.
The dense vegetation and dimly lit dense forests are obviously more suitable for monsters to hide, and the danger of searching is naturally much higher than that of the coast with a wide view.
It's one thing to be able to win the other party by wrestling your wrists, and it's also an indisputable fact that Ted's hard power is stronger than his own, and it's a fool who is competitive at such a time.
"Okay, let's get to work!" With his arm moving, Gordon carefully searched for traces of the shield crab's movements.
To be honest, he misses the pork chops a little.
With the excellent sense of smell of pork chops, it must be easier to spot the whereabouts of the shield crab, right?
Uh, run out on a "vacation" without it, you need it to come in handy before you think of it, is your owner a little crumb?
was condemning himself in his heart, Gordon suddenly slumped under his feet, but fortunately he was protected by shin armor and was not injured.
Looking down, I found that it was a small pit with a thickness of the mouth of the cup and a depth of more than ten centimeters.
This should be the footprint of the shield crab!
Gordon immediately perked up, carefully identified the shape and state of the edge of the footsteps, and he immediately confirmed the direction in which the shield crab was traveling and the approximate time of departure.
Just ahead, catch up!
Gordon immediately quickened his pace, the footwork he had stolen from Oshura worked, and the soft, wet sand could not slow him down.
After just a minute or two, he caught up with the shield crab that was slowly moving forward, filtering seaweed.
Without hesitation, Gordon rushed forward and swung the blasting knife.
The foot structure of the shield crab is similar to that of other species of crabs, which is easy to move laterally, but it is difficult to move forward and backward, and Gordon slashes out the great sword so quickly that it is slashed squarely before it has time to dodge to the side.
The carapace of the shield crab's face was not too hard, but the two huge crab claws were a bit of a hindrance, blocking the path of swinging the knife, making Gordon's blow not very effective.
The attacked shield crab let out a scream similar to the sound of an insect, and the three pairs of arthropods swung rapidly, and circled behind Gordon in a very flexible manner, as if trying to launch a counterattack from the hunter's dead end.
However, Gordon's attack was not over, and after the slash fell, he bent his legs slightly, stabilized his center of gravity, and slashed the blaster sideways with the strength of his waist and thighs.
The blow cleverly bypassed the shield crab's claws and slashed firmly at its torso, causing the carapace fragments to splash with cyan body fluids, and the battered shield crab instantly fell to the ground.
Before the other could get back up, Gordon stepped forward and made up for it, ending its life.
After looking left and right to make sure that the neighborhood was safe for the time being, Gordon half-crouched down and began to peel off.
"Ahh Unable to find the crab roe he was looking for, Gordon cursed and put away the claws and small pieces of carapace he had collected.
These materials may also be used in the future, and no matter how bad they are, they can be exchanged for a little money.
"Huh?"
Gordon, who was in a somewhat unhappy mood, suddenly noticed that there were not many rows of small pit footprints on the ground nearby, and they were even a little criss-crossed.
Picking one of the latest trails, Gordon chased after it.
"I can't believe I can't find a female crab!"
As Ted said, there were quite a few shield crabs on the shore near the mouth of the river, and within a few minutes, Gordon found a second one.
Having learned the lesson just now, Gordon directly used a horizontal slash when dealing with this shield crab, and the blasting knife easily bypassed the defense of the crab's claws, and the first knife seriously injured the prey.
Make up for the crab heart in the center of the torso to end its pain.
Rubbing his hands, he bent down and pulled out the stripping knife from behind his waist, and Gordon, who was about to collect it, suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, he inserted the knife back and straightened up again.
Then, he took out the transfer gold coin from his collar, and put it in the palm of his hand to worship with the mentality that talk is better than nothing.
"Hayatta Bless ......"
It's officially started!
Carefully pried open the carapace of the shield crab, the color is golden red, and the crab roe is so thick and full that it almost condenses into a solid shape.
"How useful it is?!"
Somewhat incredulously collecting the finest crab roe, Gordon looked down at the glittering golden ancient coin hanging around his neck.
"Next time I have a chance, I'll have to invite that guy to dinner, and let her help with another buff!"
(The hunting flute can be buffed, so this word doesn't violate the worldview!) Akimbo! )
