Chapter Seventy-Five: The Trail of the Daimyo Shield Crab

In the next hour or so, Gordon encountered three shield crabs one after another, and there was no suspense during the battle, but the collection part was somewhat like a lottery.

Gordon reaped the rewards of the gold in transit—or so he thought.

There are two female crabs among the three shield crabs, and with the previous one, he has already collected three copies of the best crab roe, and it seems that the five copies required by the task are not far away.

As for the last one, yes, it's a male crab, and there is no crab roe.

But! Gordon had collected something else good from him, a prized ingredient called the Black Pearl.

It stands to reason that shield crabs, which are crustaceans, do not produce pearls themselves, but their recipes include pearl-producing sea shells.

So, sometimes with a bit of luck, you can find this precious biological gem in their stomach pouches.

— like this one in Gordon's hand.

Although it was not smooth or rounded enough, and its color was not so dark and shiny that it could be sold as a gem to the big merchants in the city, it was also used in the production of certain weapons and armor.

Gordon happily put it away.

"I don't know how many crab roe Tedge has collected over there, but there won't be any of them, right?" Gordon muttered to himself, and couldn't help but laugh out loud in the middle of his sentence.

"Haha, let's hurry up in a while, maybe we will collect five copies before he opens, and his face must be very interesting by then, hehe!"

Gordon, who was a little distracted, suddenly stepped on the empty foot and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly supported the ground with his hands to maintain his balance.

Looking back, he stepped on the footprints of the shield crab again......

Only this time, the footprints he stepped on were extraordinarily thick, each one was the size of a plate, more than two times larger than the footprints of an ordinary shield crab cup.

Gordon's face tightened.

There is no need to guess, it is obvious that this is the footprint left by the daimyo shield crab.

Gordon subconsciously lowered his body slightly, and put his right hand on the hilt of the exploding knife behind his back, guarding against the attack that might appear in the next second.

After a cautious and quick look around, he found nothing, but Gordon still didn't fully relax.

The shield crab is a species that is very good at burrowing into the ground, and as an older individual in the population, there is no reason why the daimyo shield crab does not know this skill, and at this point, it may be lurking at its feet.

Glancing in the direction of the forest belt, Ted should be in the vicinity.

From a safety point of view, he should have gone to meet his peers now, but considering the unique face problems of teenagers, the choice is different.

Before, he swore to Ted that he would be able to protect himself even if he faced the Daimyo Shield Crab alone, but now he didn't even see the shadow of the Daimyo Shield Crab, and he ran in a panic to seek refuge when he saw a few footprints.

Don't you feel too ashamed?

Of course, Gordon didn't plan to come nonsense, he just wanted to find out the specific location of the Daimyo Shield Crab first, and then run to round with Ted, so that both face and safety could be guaranteed.

Having made a decision in his mind, Gordon immediately slowed his pace and slowly reached out in the direction of the stretch of the trail with a soft, almost completely silent step.

The vast majority of monsters don't care, let alone take the initiative to clean up the footprints they leave behind, especially the crustaceans whose IQ is already at the bottom of the large monsters.

Dozens of minutes later, Gordon followed the trails and successfully found the huge carapace monster.

At first, when he saw the rotten skull the size of a house, he almost didn't react, and subconsciously thought that it was just an ordinary skeleton, and almost walked out directly.

Thankfully, Ted's previous remark that "the Daimyo Shield Crab likes to use the skull of a wyvern as a carapace, especially the skull of a horned dragon" reminded him.

Isn't the three-meter-long, spear-like horn the most well-known feature of the one-horned dragon?

Although from his side, he couldn't see the body of the daimyo shield crab, but Gordon knew that the shield crab had a habit of shrinking into its shell to rest, and this daimyo shield crab was afraid that it was napping here.

Take a nap, sleep, I want to reward it with a slap of sleep......

A stupid idea came to him, but he eventually dismissed the unreliable idea.

Suppressing his breath and controlling his steps, Gordon quietly withdrew from the area.

Although the sleeping slash is really super cool, but this time, let's give the opportunity to Ted, the power of the Booming Dragon Cannon is much stronger than the three-stage charge of his Burst Knife.

It was only then that Gordon realized how far he had run away after the footsteps of the Daimyo Shield Crab.

It took him more than half an hour to find Ted, who was chasing the shield crab everywhere in the dense forest.

In fact, after the previous period of separate searches, the distance between the two has exceeded expectations, and Gordon is glad that he didn't mess around, otherwise even if he uses flares to ask for help, Ted may not be able to come to the rescue in time.

"What? You've collected three crab roe and you've tracked down the Daimyo's shield crab? Ted glared, his large, scarred face looking menacing.

"yes!" Gordon was also a little smug and replied crisply.

"We have only collected two copies, and Uncle Ben actually lost again?" Ted looked angry, and Gordon suddenly found that this old brother seemed to have a strong desire to win.

In order to cheer up this guy, Gordon began to draw cakes, "If that Daimyo shield crab is female, and you collect super best crab roe from it, then won't you turn the tables again?"

Although the mission goal has been achieved, we haven't settled it yet, so the game is not over yet! ”

Hell of the game, when did we say we were going to play? Gordon cheered Ted on as he scolded in his heart.

"Yes, that makes sense! There is also the finale of the Daimyo Shield Crab, Uncle Ben hasn't lost yet! ”

Ted, who was originally a little wilted, immediately bounced up and kicked away the corpse of the male shield crab next to him, which had been turned over by him, but it was obviously impossible to turn out the crab roe.

"Let's go! You said that the daimyo shield crab is still sleeping? What a great opportunity to sleep! What are we still grinding around here? Run forward, run forward!! Arrive at the target within ten minutes, and Uncle Ben will kill it with his own hands!! ”

Without waiting for him to finish, Ted spread his long legs and ran out, as if whoever ran to the Daimyo Shield Crab first belonged to whoever owned the Daimyo Shield Crab.

Seeing Ted galloping away, Gordon immediately stepped forward and followed.

In fact, he can walk slowly through it.

In Ted's eyes, a monster of the level of the Daimyo Shield Crab is similar to the Blue Speed Dragon King in Gordon's eyes, belonging to the kind of prey that can always be successfully taken down as long as he doesn't close his eyes, and it doesn't matter if the latter helps him or not.

But Gordon inexplicably had a feeling that if he slowed down Ted too much, he would lose.

Hey? It turns out that your desire to win is not weak?
