Chapter 73 The Breeding Season Has Arrived

Chapter 73 The breeding season is here.

For the first time, Gordon felt that the hunting ground was so fun?

The two grown men spent the whole day eating, fishing and hunting, exploring and collecting all kinds of random things. More than half a week passed in the blink of an eye.

There are only two days left before the mission deadline. If you don't hurry up and get down to business, if you fail to pay enough mission items on time, it will be considered a mission failure and the contract fee will be deducted.

Therefore, even if both of them feel that they have not had enough fun, they must set out to hunt shield crabs and collect the best crab roe.

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

After a few days of crazy play, Gordon and this bald man, who had just met for less than half a month, changed from ordinary friends at the beginning to good brothers now, and they have become much closer in terms of titles.

Ted, who finally got serious and was ready to hunt, now put on a full-face helmet, and his voice sounded a little loud. He nodded and replied:

"Going south along the coast, there is a river that flows into the sea. Only under the special stimulation of the intersection of seawater and freshwater will female shield crabs lay eggs, and male crabs will also lay eggs there. fertilization.

It shouldn't be the breeding season of shield crabs yet, but some impatient guys will run early to occupy a position, and we can go and guard there. "

Gordon gave him a surprised look.

It is not surprising that Ted knows where there are many shield crabs. He has been a hunter for more than ten years, and he always knows the ecological distribution of the hunting ground near his home.

But from a biological perspective, why there are so many shield crabs in that place is not something that ordinary hunters can answer. The vast majority of hunters are simple-minded guys with well-developed limbs, and Ted is a typical example of that. .

Judging from this guy's appearance, he doesn't look like someone who likes reading?

Noticing Gordon's gaze, Ted did not hide it, but said proudly: "Dad told us all this!"

Oh, Mr. Miles, it's all right.

The old man is the kind of person who goes to the library to kill time in his free time. If he changes into a bachelor's robe and puts on a pair of monocles, with his calm and preachy temperament, it would not be illegal to join the scribe team. and.

"But the problem is, if there are famous shield crabs nearby, they will probably go there. I don't care, but Gordon, are you okay?"

If you were someone unfamiliar with it, you might think Ted's words were a bit contemptuous, but Gordon knew that this guy was just worried about him.

"No problem! The Daimyo Shield Crab is a monster with a three-star rating. Even if we fight alone, it may be a bit bragging to say we will win, but I am still confident of protecting myself."

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

But out of caution, he still introduced information about this large crustacean monster to Gordon.

"The Daimyo Shield Crab and the Shield Crab actually belong to the same species, just like the Peach Hair Beast King and the Peach Hair Beast. However, as crustaceans, they have low IQs and are not social species, so there is no group or leader.

As they grow older, the size of shield crabs will continue to increase, and at the same time, they will continue to replace the bone shells on their backs. When their bodies grow to a certain extent, the bone shells on their backs will be replaced by the skulls of flying dragon species, and they will be It's called 'Daimyo Shield Crab'. "

"The skull of a flying dragon?!" Gordon confirmed with some surprise.

"Well, it's usually the skull of Monoceros. You know, the skull of Monoceratops is so huge that it can protect the entire back of the Daimyo Shield Crab.

The sharp horn can also become the weapon of the Daimyo Shield Crab. Be careful not to stand directly behind them. It is very dangerous to suddenly retreat and use the dragon horn as a spear to attack. "

"Okay, I understand." Gordon took note of this information carefully.

“The dragon skull on the back of the Daimyo Shield Crab and their crab claws are very hard, and it will definitely be impossible to break through with the sharpness of the weapon.

At the same time, they also have a variety of attack methods such as crab claw swiping and foam spraying. If we encounter that Daimyo shield crab, you just need to remember to stand on its side and continue attacking its legs.

I'll get its attention head-on, don't worry. "

"Stand sideways and keep attacking the legs, right? I've written it down." Gordon repeated the key points and nodded in agreement.

Ted suddenly patted Gordon hard on the back and said with a smile: "Ha, you don't have to be so nervous. You can just stay away when the time comes. With me here, a mere famous shield crab can't lift it." What a storm."

Gordon smiled and punched back, "I won't hide behind and be a coward. Speaking of which, Brother Ted, why do you think that the probability of us encountering a famous shield crab is quite high?"

"Nine times out of ten."

Ted answered casually, and Gordon exclaimed in shock: "Isn't that almost certain to happen?!"

Ted chuckled, "As we said before, it is a holy land for shield crabs to breed. Of course the famous shield crabs will go there. Well, you will gradually find out when you gain more hunting experience.

The probability of encountering large monsters in gathering and subjugation missions is not low, but most of the time you just need to run and it's over, no need to fight head-on.

On the contrary, when hunting large monsters, the probability of other large monsters interfering will be smaller. After all, large monsters have their own territory. "

Gordon realized that his previous encounters with the Great Boar King, the Male and Female Fire Dragons, and the King of the Strange Face Tribe were not rare at all.

The reason why everyone in the gathering hall was surprised was mainly because these monsters were really dangerous, and Gordon, a two-star hunter, was able to come back alive and well.

Wait!

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

Shouldn't he retreat under normal circumstances?

Without leaving the question in his heart, Gordon asked directly: "Speaking of which, Brother Ted, the speed of the famous shield crab should not be fast, why do we have to fight it?"

Ted paused, he touched the back of his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Did you find out? Hehe, actually I want to taste the crab roe of the famous shield crab.

If the crab roe of the shield crab is top-grade, then the roe of the famous shield crab is super top-grade?"

Gordon: "."

If Senior Amos was here, he would probably teach this guy a lesson and make him realize the fragility of the ecological chain.

"What if it is a male famous shield crab?" Gordon couldn't help asking again.

Ted smiled mysteriously, but it was a pity that Gordon couldn't see it because of the helmet.

"In fact, there is another purpose, or a surprise? It's too early to tell you now. After I really kill the famous shield crab, I will tell you, so that you don't feel sorry if you don't meet it."

Gordon felt a little depressed when he heard it.

Now that you say that, I care more, okay?
