HNA in late summer.

Clear blue waters, warm sunshine.

If it weren't for the group of strangers who were on guard around him, Donald felt that he would be in a good mood.

If you count the sailors and captains that the ship originally carried, there are 5 people on the entire deck, each occupying a position. The atmosphere on the sailors' side is the most normal. After all, this is a normal sailing for them. , just carrying a group of strange-looking guests.

On the other hand, these aliens are well aware of it. When they went to Moss Island at this point before the rainstorm week, almost all went to the steel-clawed mole, which means that the people sitting here are likely to be pickers. Competitors who come down, the atmosphere is naturally not much better.

"Daily habits of the steel-clawed mole, fighting style"

Pushing the sunglasses to his forehead, look carefully at the notes.

Anthony's full preparation was not just some props. Not long after he went to sea, he took a note and gave it to Donald, which clearly recorded some information about the strange beast like the steel-clawed mole.

"It says that steel-clawed moles have extremely strong hearing, and they will notice if there is a slight movement on the ground. They only eat certain plant stems on the moss island and only stay outside for less than 5 seconds when they come out to breathe. Zhong, how are you going to catch it?"

Donald thought that this alien beast was not much different from a groundhog, and he also thought of methods such as using food as a trap or ambush beside him. Now it seems that the ordinary method should not work.

"To catch a steel-clawed mole rat, we can only do it within five seconds of its probe, pursuing one-hit kill. After landing on the island, we must first find the steel-clawed mole rat's vent, and then squat next to it, betting that The reaction time of a few seconds is also the reason why the steel-clawed mole rat is extremely rare in the market. Every year, the opportunity is these few days. Many times, after waiting for a few hours, if you relax a little, you may get nothing."

To put it simply, if there is no special means to capture this kind of beast, then you can only rely on enough patience.

"5 seconds, you will be detected as soon as you approach, how can you kill with one hit?"

Donald asked as he wondered if he had any means to help Anthony catch the steel-clawed mole.

"I will squat on the tree, and then rely on your perception ability to judge when the steel-clawed mole will emerge. I think if you cooperate well, there is a great chance."

This is what Anthony came up with. He invited Donald for a reason, and catching a steel-clawed mole is a skill.

"Maybe I'll have some methods at that time."

"what?"

"I'll sell it for now, you'll know when I land on the island. This time I'm going to sea with you, I don't plan to go back empty-handed. By the way, when it comes to the question of whether or not to be empty-handed, there are no other resources on Moss Island, only steel. Clawed mole?"

The whole island is not just a single creature, the steel-clawed mole.

"In addition to herbs and tree fruits, the value of the wild animals on the moss island is average. If the quantity is larger, someone may buy it at a high price, but if it is only a small amount, it is difficult to sell for a good price. , after all, it's just a low-intensity island."

"You have some truth in saying that."

Donald leaned against the side of the boat, but he didn't feel much disappointment. This time out to sea was originally a test of the water, and more came to help.

As the sailing time passed, the sea became tired of seeing the sea, and the structure of the lifeboat on the side of the ship was also analyzed back and forth twice. After the initial freshness passed, all Donald could do seemed to be a daze.

beep~ beep~

While he was thinking about whether to find something to do, a few short loud whistles came, and everyone on the deck looked back in the direction of the sound.

"Big ship!"

Donald only heard Anthony mutter, and looked up to see a giant steel ship, at least three times bigger than the one they were on.

The position of the opponent's ship was only a few hundred meters away from them, and the speed was extremely fast, catching up from behind and passing by.

Donald clearly saw a lot of people standing on the deck, all of them fully armed, there were even a few eye-catching beasts, a white kangaroo, a bird with long colored feathers on its head. Or chicken.

Donald didn't see it all.

"Look at their ship logo, Leni Machinery, I think this is the team exploring the unknown islands. After all, it is one of the most powerful companies in Demingham, and the rainstorm week can't stop them from moving forward."

The logo of Lenny Machinery is very recognizable. It is a large gear with the name of Lenny Machinery printed in the middle. They choose to go out to sea at this time, and they will definitely hit the storm under the dark cloud in the distance. For large ships, storms can have very limited impact.

On the other hand, they went against the storm just to use this natural disaster to help them get rid of some of their competitors.

The appearance of Lenny's mechanical ship was a surprise for a boring voyage, and the people on deck had been discussing these things for some time.

The sky gradually darkened amid these discussions. After half a day of HNA, the dark clouds on that day were still on the horizon, and the distance seemed to be unabated.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sea water orange, and the faces of everyone on the deck were full of red light, and the moon could be vaguely seen in the sky.

After this time, the sky will darken very quickly.

The captain came out of the cabin at this time, knocked on the cigarette **** on one side of the stand, shook out some of the ashes inside, and then coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention.

"We will be there in half an hour. According to the agreement, from the time you disembark, I will wait beside the Moss Island for 36 hours, that is, at 12 noon the day after tomorrow, and set off for my return flight. This time will not be changed by anyone. , If you are not on time, then don't blame me for abandoning you. Let me remind you that the rainstorm week is coming soon. At that time, Moss Island will experience a rainstorm with a shortest duration of 3 days. If you think you can bear it, then I will not stop it. on."

There are only a few days left before the week of the rainstorm. Before the big ship of Leni Machinery was not afraid of the storm, it did not mean that the ship was not afraid. The captain went out to sea before the week of the rainstorm. It was already an adventure for him to experience the storm. No way.

No one objected to the captain's request, and the captain only had this request. After speaking, he returned to the cabin to take the helm, and the sailors also returned to their posts and began to prepare for docking work.

Knowing that they were about to arrive at their destination, some people thought about it, and the other two-person team began to move closer to Donald and Anthony.

An old man with sunglasses, a bald man with dark arms.

"Are you two going to Moss Island this time for the Steel Claw Mole?"

It was the old man who spoke, and the position between him and the other bald man was that he was in front. In the two-man squad, he dominated.

"Aren't you guys? If you have something to say, just say it."

Donald turned his head and put down his sunglasses again. The two of them chose to come to say hello at this time, which must have a purpose.

"Cooperation, this is what I want to say to the two of you. I think you should also see the two teams over there, one with 3 people and the other with 7 people. The latter team may have newbies in it, but they Since they dared to bring newbies to the island, those veterans must have confidence in their own strength. As far as I know, we will not be the only boats who landed on the island at the same time. There will definitely be a fight on the Moss Island by then, the two of you, There are two of us, it is easy for the number of people to be suppressed, it is better for us to join forces, the same number of people, I think the strength of the two is not weaker than us, if there is income, how about the conditions?"

The old man has a hunchback, and when he speaks, he always bends his head and raises his head. This is to seek a team.

Donald didn't respond, but glanced at Anthony. This time he was here to help. Anthony was the captain. The old man's ability to observe words was not weak. Just as Donald glanced, his body turned to Anthony without any trace. .

"No interest, we don't need help."

Anthony refused very simply, and the two did not say much, and turned directly to the team of three people on the other side. The way of communication is probably still the same.

"They are so eager to find a team to join, they are afraid that they will not be able to catch the steel-clawed mole, or they feel that they are not skilled enough and will be robbed on the island?"

The eyes under the sunglasses swept across the two of them one by one, and Donald came to the answer, both assumptions were wrong.

"This kind of people, they themselves are not prepared to catch the steel-clawed moles themselves. They only have one thing to do. They can start changing their clothes when they kill people. After landing on the island, there is no lighting, so they have to adjust some equipment first."

Anthony opened the backpack and took out a head-mounted illuminator. The core illuminator was about a finger long, with mechanical straps on both sides and a cloth strap at the end.

"I have installed the whale oil energy in advance. After wearing it, I use the gears on both sides to adjust the distance to ensure that it can fit on both sides of my forehead~lightnovelpub.net~ Finally, tie the cloth strip, the switch is on the right side, it should be able to touch arrive."

Donald didn't actually need night lighting, but he didn't refuse, and put on a searchlight like he did.

The light from the whale oil searchlight was a bluish light that did not attract the attention of the beasts at night.

The two of them did not get shriveled again in the three-person team before, but successfully joined after a simple discussion, and then those people began to look at Donald and Anthony from time to time.

"Looks like he has an idea for us."

23 is 5 people, they are 2 here, and the power balance is clearly their advantage in their view.

"On these islands, when you refuse to hurt others, people will often pay attention to you. At this time, it depends on whether you are prepared."

Anthony took out two short knives from his backpack, inserted them into the leather sheath around his waist, turned his head to look at Donald, and quickly smiled.

They both saw the cold and cold light in each other's eyes.
