Chapter 183 Megalodon 1

Fort William is about 80 kilometers away from Black River Fort.

Fresh fruits can be transported to Black River Fort in two days by water transport along the Powell River.

However, in Black River Fort, because there are only tens of thousands of consumers, even if the fruit market is monopolized, the annual income from selling fruits is at most a few thousand gold coins. It can't make up for the gap in steel income.

Moreover, many noble territories have orchards, and the fruit business cannot be monopolized by the Harland family. Therefore, the Harland territory must find new industries.

Richard thought deeply for a night and finally decided to set up a monster hunting department to exchange money by hunting monsters deep in the Eagle Mountains.

There are two extraordinary creatures in the Eagle Mountains, one is the legendary black dragon, and the other is the legendary ogre. Many monsters have signed protection contracts with these two legendary creatures. In particular, monsters with high potential and high IQ levels will look for legendary creatures as backers to avoid human killing and enslavement.

The territory of the legendary black dragon is located at the easternmost part of the Eagle Mountains, only 300 kilometers away from the Duke of Jonathan.

The territory of the legendary ogre is located to the west of the Eagle Mountains, 160 kilometers away from the territory of the Earl of Martins.

The black dragon feared Duke Jonathan and dared not cross the border for decades.

The legendary ogre often went down the mountain to hunt humans, eating several human brains every day. Duke Edward, Earl Martins, and the Gascoigne Province were unable to stop him.

The ogre tribe may eat more than 10,000 humans every year.

Because there are legendary supernatural creatures as backers, hunting monsters is quite dangerous.

Among the Grant Kings, only Jonathan, Edward and other great nobles can rely on hunting monsters to make money steadily.

Other small nobles, monster hunters, have great risks in entering the Eagle Mountains.

For this reason, after the Harland family became barons, Richard has been managing the territory and not entering the depths of the Eagle Mountains to take risks.

Now due to lack of funds, Richard can only choose to take certain risks.

In the early stage of entering the Eagle Mountains to hunt monsters, Richard did not plan to do it on a large scale. He selected some veterans and officers from the main force, and added exploration and intelligence personnel to form a demon hunting team of more than 30 people.

This demon hunting team is composed of elite soldiers and generals, with more than ten professionals. In order to ensure that everything is safe, Richard, Sophia, Wendy and other magicians also followed the demon hunting team, and they also carried starlight necklaces.

With the killer weapon of starlight bombs, even if they encounter legendary extraordinary creatures, they have the strength to fight.

Just after the Goddess’s birthday, it entered January 3259 of the Dawn Calendar.

This demon hunting team of more than 30 people entered the depths of the Eagle Mountains. After just two days of walking, they found the traces of a big guy.

This is a giant tiger, the king of beasts in the wilderness.

Although adult giant tiger monsters are only level 6, when they lack food, they will attack the seventh-level earth dragon beasts.

Sometimes they can even successfully hunt earth dragon beasts. In the early years, magicians tracked and studied and found that earth dragon beasts were actually in the diet of giant tigers, with a proportion of 1.3%.

Cats are excellent hunters, and cats that evolve into magical beasts are even more powerful.

Although the intelligence of the Megalodon is not high, only slightly better than that of the Ironhorn Horse, this big cat is a natural hunter and is also very cunning and cruel.

Based on the scratches left by the Megalodon, Wendy estimated that the Megalodon was five meters long, two meters tall at the shoulder, and weighed more than three tons.

This size is more powerful than an elephant.

The Megalodon looks similar to other tiger creatures, but it has a pair of giant teeth that are more than 20 centimeters long in its mouth.

This pair of giant teeth is a natural magic material. Without any polishing, it is a sixth-level enchanted dagger.

This pair of teeth is worth more than one thousand gold coins.

In addition, the magic crystals, tiger skins, tiger bones, tiger whips, and tiger blood of the Megalodon are all very valuable. If you successfully hunt this Megalodon, it is estimated that you can sell it for 8,000 gold coins.

With these eight thousand gold coins, it is enough to make up for the gap left by the decline in steel trade.

The Megalodon has a special tiger language and an ability similar to the breath of a dragon. It can spit out flames when it opens its mouth. Their tracking ability is very outstanding. There is also a tiger roar spell in their blood that can emit sonic attacks, which is very difficult to deal with.

The pattern of the Megalodon skin is very beautiful. It is not only tough and warm, but also has a strong sense of deterrence attached to the king of beasts.

Many nobles are eager to own a Megalodon skin coat. The price of a tiger skin is more than two thousand gold coins, which is twice as expensive as the skin of a dragon beast.

Clothes made of Megalodon skin are one of the top luxury goods in the Dawn Plane, and the premium is very high.

In the Eagle Mountains, Megalodon is not common.

The Eagle Mountains are the territory of the legendary black dragon and the ogre. Only a small number of Megalodon live in the middle part of the mountains, and it is estimated that there are no more than twenty in total.

The luck of this hunt is very good to be able to find a target of great value shortly after entering the mountain.

"From the smell, the Megalodon is not far from us."

To go into the mountains to hunt monsters, Uncle Powell must go out. His extraordinary sense of smell is much more useful than a mid-level professional in the Eagle Mountains.

With Powell by your side, you can avoid many dangers.

Powell's extraordinary sense of smell, plus Richard's sense of danger, and Sofia's sense of malice, these three talents together are enough to allow the monster hunting team to avoid most dangers.

Following the claws of the giant tooth tiger, the demon hunting team quickly approached the nest where the giant tooth tiger lived.

Sensing the approach of the demon hunting team, the giant tooth tiger immediately jumped out of the nest and roared majestically.

After the roar, the ears of the demon hunting team members were immediately shocked, and a feeling of fear and submission came from the depths of their souls.

Especially the few people with low mental attributes, they fell to the ground instantly, making ghosts and wolves howling.

Richard, Sofia, and Wendy hurriedly released the second-ring magic requiem to calm their souls, and their mental state became better.

There were twelve professionals in the demon hunting team. Professionals have higher mental power than ordinary people and much stronger spell resistance. They endured the discomfort and drew their bows and arrows to shoot at the giant tooth tiger.

Seeing more than a dozen arrows shooting at the giant tooth tiger, Richard's face changed.

The tiger skin of the giant tooth tiger is quite valuable. If these rough guys shoot the tiger skin to pieces, it will really not be sold at a high price. Before he could say anything to stop it, the giant tiger jumped lightly and dodged more than a dozen feather arrows.

Sophia reacted quickly and immediately released the spider web technique to cover the giant tiger.

Unexpectedly, the giant tiger's fangs were very sharp and easily cut the spider web.
