Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 73 The breeding season is here.

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

The two big men ate hazel all day long, fished and hunted, and explored and collected all kinds of messy things. More than half a week passed in the blink of an eye.

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

Therefore, even if both of them still feel that they haven't had enough fun, they must set off to hunt shield crabs and collect the best crab roe.

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

After a few days of crazy play, Gordon and this big 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 became much closer in terms of address.

Finally getting serious and ready to hunt, Ted put on a full-face helmet at this time, and his voice seemed a little muffled. He nodded and replied:

"Walking south along the coast for a while, there is a river that flows into the sea. Only under the special stimulation of this confluence area of ​​sea water and fresh water, female shield crabs will lay eggs, and male crabs will also be there to conduct research on crab eggs. Fertilize.

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

Gordon gave him a look of astonishment.

It is not surprising that Ted knows where there are many shield crabs. He has been a hunter for more than ten years, and the ecological distribution of the hunting grounds in front of his house is always clear.

But if you want to analyze from a biological point of view, why there are so many shield crabs in that place is not something that ordinary hunters can answer. Most hunters are simple-minded guys with well-developed limbs. Ted is a typical example of that. .

Judging by the appearance of this guy, he doesn't look like someone who likes to read books, does he?

Noticing Gordon's line of sight, Ted didn't hide it, but said rather proudly: "This is what Dad told us!"

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

The old man belonged to the kind of person who would go to the library to pass the time in his spare time. If he changed into a bachelor's robe and a pair of monocles, with his calm and preachy personality, it wouldn't be a violation of him to mix into the scrivener team. and.

"But the problem is, if there are daimyo shield crabs around here, they will probably go there too. It doesn't matter to me, but Gordon, are you okay?"

If you were an unfamiliar person, you might feel that Ted's words were contemptuous, but Gordon knew that this guy was only worried about himself.

"No problem! The daimyo shield crab is a three-star rated monster. Even if it is a single fight, it might be a bit bragging to say that it will win, but I am still sure of self-defense."

Gordon seemed very confident, and Ted also 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 Peach Hair Beast, but as crustaceans, they have low IQ and are not social species, so there is no such thing as a group or a leader.

As they grow older, the size of shield crabs will continue to increase. At the same time, they will continue to replace the bone shells on their backs. It is called 'Daimyo Shield Crab'. "

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

"Well, it's usually the skull of a horned dragon. You know, the skull of a horned dragon is huge enough to protect the entire back of a daimyo shield crab.

The sharp unicorn will also become the weapon of the daimyo shield crab, be careful not to stand directly behind them, and suddenly retreat to stab the dragon horn as a spear, which is very dangerous. "

"Okay, I understand." Gordon took down this information carefully.

"The dragon skull on the back of the daimyo shield crab and their crab claws are very hard, and it is impossible to break through with the sharpness of your weapon.

At the same time, they also have crab claw swings, foam spray and other offensive methods. If we encounter that daimyo shield crab, you just need to remember to stand on its side and keep attacking its legs.

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

"Stand sideways and keep attacking the legs, right? I've made a note of that." Gordon repeated the key point, nodding yes.

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

Gordon laughed and punched back, "I won't hide behind and be a coward. Speaking of Ted, why do you say that we have a high chance of encountering a famous shield crab?"

"Nine out of ten."

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

Ted chuckled, "As I said before, it's a breeding ground for shield crabs, and of course the famous shield crabs will go there, well, you'll find out when you have more hunting experience.

The probability of encountering large monsters in collection and crusade missions is not low, but most of the time you just need to run and finish the job, no need to be tough.

On the contrary, in the process of hunting large monsters, the probability of other large monsters entering will be smaller, after all, each large monster has its own territory. "

It was only then that Gordon realized that his previous encounters with the big wild boar king, the male and female fire dragon, and the king of the strange-faced clan were nothing unusual at all.

The reason why everyone in the assembly hall was surprised was mainly because the danger of these monsters was a bit high, and Gordon, a two-star hunter, was able to come back safe and sound.

etc!

Gordon suddenly realized a problem-why when Ted talked about the famous shield crab, he was teaching him how to fight.

Shouldn't we retreat under normal circumstances?

Without keeping the question in his heart, Gordon asked directly: "Brother Ted, the famous shield crab should not move fast, why do we have to fight it?"

Ted's footsteps paused, he touched the back of his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "You found out? Hehe, actually, I want to try the crab roe of the famous shield crab.

If the crab roe of the shield crab is the best, then wouldn’t the famous shield crab be the best? "

Gordon: "."

If Senior Amos was here, I'm afraid he would have to teach this guy a good lesson and make him realize the fragility of the ecological chain.

"If so, is that a male daimyo shield crab?" Gordon couldn't help asking again.

Ted smiled mysteriously, but Gordon couldn't see it with his helmet on.

"Actually, there is another purpose, or a surprise? It's too early to tell you now, and I will tell you after the Daming Shield Crab is really dropped, so that if you don't meet it, you don't think pity."

Gordon was a little depressed when he heard this.

Now that you've said that, I'm more concerned, okay?
