Li Ming said that the water beast was the target of hunting, which was the result of the team's discussion.

Shui Yun no longer insisted, and immediately handed over the contract.

Gratuity: 5040+1100z (subsidy)

Time limit: 28 days.

After a day of preparation, the team rode a truck towed by two Bobos and headed for the submerged forest.

Leaving the abandoned shrine area, I walked on the trade road for a while.

At the beginning of Ying, Bubu Miduoduo began to collect with a high frequency.

It was not difficult for them to follow the truck, but Li Ming still reduced his speed to slow down his physical exertion.

"Is it impossible that the ammunition materials in the Feiye Fortress have been sold out, this place can already be regarded as a top stronghold, and the supply is very secure."

Seeing that the materials collected by one person and two cats in the bushes on the side of the road were mainly based on ammunition blending, Li Ming was curious.

When Bubu ran to the carriage to put the materials, he understood the situation.

"The ammunition reserves are about to be unsupportable, and Chu Ying has purchased a large amount of gunpowder herbs for the reconciliation of fire bombs in order to target the water beasts, and the funds are also a little tight."

"It seems that the high frequency of travel and hunting puts a lot of pressure on the economy of heavy crossbow hunters."

Li Ming felt that Chu Ying wanted to postpone hunting, which was not unreasonable.

The shield axe is scrubbed clean, the blade of the sword is polished, the deformation mechanism is maintained, and the broken energy bottle is checked and replaced, and you can continue to travel and hunt.

The heavy crossbow will not work, the ration will be a box of level 1 normal bullets, and every bullet fired after that will be money.

Even if you don't buy finished ammunition and buy the necessary materials to mix it yourself, it's still unsustainable.

"No wonder the other hunters in the hall often mention the squad's ammunition subsidy."

"So. Are you going to pay an ammunition subsidy to Chu Ying to help her get through the difficult time? ”

Bubu said excitedly.

"Of course you can, the more projectiles she shoots in each hunt, the more secure our safety will be, but this can't solve the problem at the root, and with Chu Ying's character, she probably won't like to be subsidized all the time."

"So what do you do?"

Boob cat's ears lobe.

"Assemble a cat expedition that specializes in traveling and collecting."

"What a good way to meow!.But there is no fixed residence, no long-distance vehicles, and you can't recruit a cat expedition, right?"

Boo voiced concerns.

"The expedition team that has been formed and has a small reputation, it will definitely not be able to recruit, and the maintenance cost cannot be afforded, but you can find those who have not yet formed, as long as you work hard to communicate with it, and continue to look forward to the future of the ruthless squad, what a large cat tribe, a submarine, a small airship, a unified armor uniform. You're okay, Boobu. ”

Seeing that Bubu's eyes were becoming more and more confused, Li Ming shook his hand in front of him.

"What color meow is the uniform armor uniform. Yes! I seem to have been confused by something just now! ”

Bubu shook his head violently, and after regaining consciousness, he sighed, "I feel that I am so proficient in Ailu's psychological meow, just a few words, I just want to join in." ”

"That's it, as for how to start to implement it, I'll plan more when I have time."

Li Ming made up his mind.

Gather along the way during the day, and stop at night to rest and mix ammo.

Chu Ying was a little tired, but when she thought that the water beast armor was beckoning to her, she was quickly full of energy.

Five days later, the flat trade road was gone, the road was getting muddy, and the terrain was gradually increasing in the number of dangerous terrains that made it difficult for trucks to pass.

Seven days later, the team arrived at the confluence of several rivers.

The air is humid and shallow with only a small amount of soil exposed, so trucks have to struggle through the water.

Fortunately, before dark, the team followed the map to reach a small stronghold in the submerged forest area.

Remove the supplies from the truck, place the two tired Bobos, and contact the local Ailu tribe as an ambulance team.

Leaving the higher ground, the team set off again.

After traveling for a day and a night, he officially entered the submerged forest area.

After setting up camp on the vine-shaded rocks, the team rested for half a day, and then searched for the traces of the water beasts while hunting for food.

The sound of rushing water echoes in the mountains and forests.

Fish are constantly jumping out of the water, crawling on the wet rock walls, and constantly making various noises.

The noisy environment, coupled with the fact that the water beast has no characteristics in terms of sound, makes it impossible for Li Ming to lock on to it with his sense of hearing.

First let the Fumu rabbit patrol the surroundings.

When you walk out of the canyon, your vision is instantly wider.

Several weeping dragons with dark green skin are walking slowly in the water.

I haven't heard how delicious the meat of the weeping dragon is, but the weeping oil in the skin, as long as you bring it back to the stronghold of the Chamber of Commerce, can generally be sold for a good price.

The team that already had a tacit understanding didn't need to communicate, and quickly locked on the two largest penny dragons, and then went into action.

Stacked folds and drooping skin, Li Ming slashed two swords before cutting out a crack.

The flowing grease sticks to the blade of the sword, forming a brushed sticky web.

Li Ming, who just wanted to fight quickly, poked the energy storage sword body into the water to wash off the grease, and then jumped into the air, changing the neck with thin skin to slash.

A heavy wail rang out, and the weeping dragons scattered in all directions with their feet in the water, and soon the two locked were hunted.

Li Ming began the ritual of loving transcendence, and the rest of the members removed the raw meat and cut the useful materials.

[Loose and sagging skin], [Vertical skin oil generation], [Head impact].

The two exploding white fog balls were exactly the same.

It seems that [vertical skin oil generation] is a bit useful, but the vertical skin oil must be extracted from under the skin.

The more sagging folds the skin, the more oil production capacity will probably increase, so it can be regarded as a linkage effect with [sagging skin].

It's a little bit of this outward form.

Li Ming thought of liposuction surgery, and suddenly shuddered.

I feel that the most useful effect is probably to achieve rapid weight loss.

Unfortunately, obesity is not common in hunters.

However, based on the two principles of not taking for nothing, in case there are two principles that will be useful in the future, he still chose [Weeping Skin Oil Generation] and [Head Bump].

As it was still early, the team continued to dig deeper.

Finally, before the sun set, three aquatic beasts perched in the shallows.

The aquatic beast tribe all inhabits the same body of water, and the leader of this tribe, the water beast, is likely to wander nearby.

The aquatic beasts, dressed in banana yellow and resembling lizards, had not yet noticed where the team members were.

After lurking and watching for a while, seeing that the leader of the water beasts was not nearby, Li Ming decided to try to hunt two of them first.

In this way, once the leader of the water beast notices that a member of the clan is being hunted, it will become very irritable, and it will be much easier to track and lock.

At the same time, you can also taste what the meat of the aquatic beast tastes like.

Puff ~ Puff spit ~

Seeing a series of small blisters surging on the surface of the current, an aquatic beast immediately lowered its head and began to watch curiously.

The carapace with red and gray stripes looms over the water.

If there was one more back shell, the aquatic beast would definitely be convinced that it was a small shield crab.

As he watched curiously, the aquatic beast's head drooped forward again.

Puff~

The energy storage sword swung in the water slices the throat.

The aquatic beast immediately realized that this "little shield crab" might be the peerless powerhouse of the shield crab clan, and it was definitely not something that he could match, so he turned his head and twisted his body and began to run.

Li Ming jumped out of the water, [Catapult Flying Kick] stepped on the opponent's conical tail to borrow strength, jumped into the air and combined the sword and shield.

Poof!

The blade of the axe slashes into the skull from behind.

At the same time, another aquatic beast was also injured by one person and two cats, blocking the retreat.

In a moment, the aquatic beast died and fled.

"You take one with you first, and we will meet you as soon as I'm done."

The team has been searching for a long time, but they haven't had time to eat, and their current state is not suitable for battle, and there is a risk of being besieged by the clan.

"Okay, be careful."

Mi Duoduo, who was already used to it, reminded him, and worked with Bubu to lift the corpse of the aquatic beast and put it on Chu Ying's shoulder.

One man and two cats began to evacuate.

Li Ming grabbed the aquatic beast's waist and abdomen and carried it up, and then quickly eliminated the duplicate fog balls and inspected them.

[Primary Water Storage Sponge Spawn], [Diving], [Underwater Hunting], [Joy in the Water].

The subspecies of the purple water beast's water-impounding sponge body seems to be able to store venom, but in terms of my size, even if it can be achieved in the future, the venom production should be very limited.

If you really want to generate venom, it is better to use the fog ball of the poisonous dog dragon as the core to create a jet injection, after all, there are already two successful cases.

[Diving] and [Underwater Perception] are both very good.

If you don't wear water beast equipment, you may not have a linkage effect, but it is enough to cope with most scenes.

【Joy in the Water】. It will be happier in the water.

Yes, there will be another aquatic beast fog ball bursting out next, which can be completed.

After carrying the corpses to converge, the team rushed back to the camp.

After eating and drinking, the scope of today's exploration was demarcated, and the two began to take turns to keep vigil.

In the early morning, the sun is shining.

The team sets off again, returning to the shoals they discovered yesterday.

As a result, the aquatic beast group did not see it, but found two small shield crab carcasses on the shore.

"The back shell and limbs are separated, so brutal."

After inspecting the scene, Li Ming said with some surprise.

"Well, it's really unusual, although it was mutilated, there was no trace of eating and gnawing, it seems to be a simple act of revenge."

Chu Ying speculated.

"Strange meow, when I was in the Shui Mu Forest stronghold, the person in charge said that the leader of the local shield crab tribe went to explore a new one due to the cracking of the back shell, and I didn't hear that the two groups were fighting for territory."

Boob couldn't understand.

"Could it be the meow who only recently grudged?"

Midodo speculated.

"Recently. Could it be that the aquatic beast clan mistakenly thought that those two members were killed by shield crabs yesterday. Since they're attacking the shield crabs, I think this is a good chance. ”

"Are you saying that for a period of time, the distribution of aquatic beast populations will be extremely dispersed?"

Chu Ying asked tentatively.

"Yes, for the little shield crab, about two aquatic beasts can be killed by flanking back and forth, there is no need to let the leader water beasts deal with them one by one, they scatter and flee over there, and if they continue to follow up and kill here, the distribution of clan members will spread outward."

"Okay, let's check now."

The team immediately began to investigate.

The results are almost the same as speculation, and the aquatic beasts in the inhabited waters are not migrating, but are chasing and killing small shield crabs.

At noon, Li Ming, who was exploring on the top of the mountain rock, couldn't help but sigh when he saw another small shield crab being surrounded and killed.

"It's miserable."

"Ecology has always been so cruel."

Chu Ying said helplessly.

"Yes, but when I see the vulnerable monster group that has always been at a disadvantage, I still hope that someone will come forward to balance it."

"Isn't that part of a hunter's job?"

Chu Ying asked curiously.

"That's right, but if the shield crab group continues to improve itself and finally achieves a counterattack and reversal, it will definitely feel better."

"More feeling, mean?"

"Let's say a shield crab man fell from the sky"

Coo~Coo~

Li Ming was halfway through the nonsense, and the Fumu Rabbit in the chirping flew down to his shoulder.

All members of the team immediately looked in the direction of Fukumutu's return.

A yellow lizard nearly 20 meters long marched towards the location of the team by swinging its head and body.

"Midoduo, how many aquatic beasts are nearby?"

Li Ming asked in a low voice.

"There are only two meows, no new discoveries!"

Mi Duoduo, who was holding a telescope, informed.

"The timing is right, are you all ready?"

Li Ming asked.

"Okay meow!"

"Yes. Do not touch too deep waters. ”

Chu Ying did not forget to give a reminder.

"Attack!"

Two men and two cats jumped from the top of the rock in ambush.

The perception ability of the water beast is not very strong, but for the hunter team running straight in the shallows, it is immediately locked and detected.

Oh! Oh!

The forefoot pressed into the water, and after two threats, seeing that the other party was speeding up the approach, he focused his eyes on Li Ming, who was rushing in front.

The water beast crawled rapidly, and the water waves spread out in both directions.

Li Ming slightly adjusted his orientation and hedged against him.

Stop, draw your sword and raise your shield.

The shield crab armor that was originally drummed out of the drum collapsed rapidly at this time.

Such a huge disparity in size made the water beast hit head-on without making any adjustments.

The top of the head is like a crown of five spines, erecting from the spongy mane.

While! There was a humming sound of hitting the shield surface.

The water beast fell backwards, and Li Ming, who only slid back a short distance, lifted the shield and continued to move forward.

After the front paws fell into the shallows and stood firm, the water beast froze in place, as if it had been greatly shocked by what had just happened.

The energy storage sword slashed horizontally, and the sparks exploded, and the serpentine scales on the left forearm collapsed into several pieces.

The water beast that felt the pain suddenly came back to its senses.

The body rotates, and the tail with a hard carapace on the surface is swept and swirled.

Li Ming stared at the direction of his tail and raised his shield again.

While! Another buzz.

The tail that was blocked by the block was dissipated, and it was tightly attached to the shield surface, unable to advance a single inch.

The water beast twisted its body with all its strength and caused its tail to flick.

But even so, Li Ming's figure only slid backwards slightly.

Calmly turning his head sideways, Li Ming made a provocative statement: "Hard! ”
