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 sea stuff, fishing and hunting, and exploring everywhere to collect 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.

 So, even if both of them feel that they have not had enough, 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 frequent shield crab activity?”

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

Ted, who finally got serious and was ready to hunt, 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 should not be the breeding season of shield crabs yet, but some impatient guys will run early to occupy a position, and we can go there to guard it. "

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 grounds at his doorstep.

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. .

Looking at this guy’s appearance, he doesn’t look like someone who likes to read?

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 puts on a bachelor's robe and 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 is a famous shield crab nearby, it will probably go there. I don't care, but Gordon, are you okay?"

If you were someone who wasn't familiar 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 might 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 body size grows to a certain extent, the bone shells on their backs will also 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 Monoceratops. 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 be used as a weapon by the Daimyo Shield Crab. Be careful not to stand directly behind them. It is very dangerous to suddenly retreat and use the dragon's horn as a spear to attack. "

 “Okay, I understand.” Gordon took note of this piece of information carefully.

“The dragon skulls on the back of the Daimyo shield crabs and their claws are very hard and cannot be broken through with the sharpness of weapons.

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 will attract 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.

Ted suddenly patted Gordon's back hard 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 kind of storm?"

Gordon smiled and punched back, "I won't hide behind and be a turtle. Speaking of 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, while 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 collection and crusade missions is not low, but most of the time you just need to run and it's over, without the need to fight head-on.

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

Only then did Gordon realize that his previous encounters with the giant boar king, male and female fire dragons, 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 quite high, and also because Gordon, a two-star little hunter, was able to come back alive and unharmed.

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 leaving any doubt in his mind, Gordon asked directly: "Brother Ted, the shield crab doesn't move very fast. Why do we have to fight it?"

Ted paused, touched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Have you discovered it? Hey, actually, I want to try the crab roe of the Daimyo Shield Crab.

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

ˆ Gordon: "."

If Senior Yamos were here, he would probably have to teach this guy a lesson and make him realize the fragility of the ecological chain.

“What if, is that a male shield crab?” Gordon couldn’t help but ask again.

Ted smiled mysteriously, but unfortunately Gordon couldn't see it because he was wearing a helmet.

"Actually, there is another purpose, or in other words, a surprise? It's too early to tell you now. I will tell you after I really get rid of the famous shield crab, so as not to worry about it if I don't encounter it. pity."

Gordon felt a little depressed when he heard this.

 Since you said that, I care more about it, okay?
