Chapter 391: Making a Nest
Tuanzi has extremely high spirituality. If it can handle it by itself, it will not come looking for you first.
Gaode knows this.
He did not hesitate much, walked to a deserted corner, immediately took off his clothes and put them aside, wearing only his underwear, and then jumped up.
With a splash, Gaode slipped into the water like a fish without causing many waves. It can be called an extremely beautiful dive.
As soon as Gothe entered the water, Tuanzi also immersed himself in the water again, swaying his body from side to side towards Gothe and playing with his short double fins at the same time.
Gaode lightly patted Tuanzi on the head, not only to express encouragement and praise, but also to cast [Beast Connection+] to establish a deeper connection with Tuanzi, making it easier to communicate and understand the specific situation.
As the connection was established, the extremely excited and excited thoughts from Tuanzi were clearly transmitted.
The situation is not complicated.
Tuanzi has a lively and active character. Although Biboting is not too small, it has been hanging out in the water since it was born, and it has long lost its novelty. Now that it is in a new water system, it naturally swims freely, drilling here and there and exploring.
As a result, he drilled and drilled and found an unexpected harvest.
How to harvest, Tuanzi cannot express clearly.
Gaode was not in a hurry and let Tuanzi lead the way. Then he cast an ocean touch on himself and followed.
Piracy is not as good as the genuine version.
Even if he grew webbed through magic, his moving speed in the water is still far slower than Tuanzi.
· Tuanzi was obviously very excited. He swam in front, pumping the water with his tail, creating a large string of bubbles.
After swimming forward for more than two hundred meters, and seeing that he was almost there, Gao De surfaced, took another deep breath of oxygen, and then followed Tuanzi to sink in one breath.
After sinking more than ten meters, an extremely huge and strangely shaped stone appeared in front of us.
Looking around, you can't see the bottom at a glance, as if it was a small building built from the bottom of the water.
The discovery of Tuanzi is located in the middle of this huge stone.
Here, the stone suddenly cracked, and a crack more than two meters wide appeared, with faint light coming out of it.
In the water, or in the enclosed large rocks, the light naturally does not come from the sunlight from the outside.
There is no doubt that there should be something that can shine inside.
In games, the things that glow are usually treasures, such as night pearls, etc. This is a very classic setting.
·Although reality is different from the game, it is still the same and is by no means an ordinary thing.
Tuanzi swings his body in front, "inviting" Gaode to come in.
Full of curiosity, it had already gone in and had a look, confirming that there was no danger.
Gothe didn’t hesitate, moved his legs gently in a whipping posture, and swam toward the crack.
The crack is a diagonally downward channel, and the surrounding water flow becomes turbulent because of the narrow gap, constantly impacting Gothe's body.
But after just swimming a short distance, it turned upward at an obtuse angle.
The raging river also stopped abruptly at this obtuse angle.
It is like a cave hidden in the center of the stone. There is no water flowing above it, but locked air.
Gothe put his head out of the water and looked around, no longer needing to hold his breath.
No wonder Tuanzi can’t handle it.
This guy is like a dragon swimming in the water. Once he is out of the water, his eyes will go black.
It can’t climb up by relying on its two hand-like front fins, right?
"You wait here." Gaode raised his head and could vaguely see fluorescent lights flashing above him, and told Tuanzi.
Then, he quickly canceled [Ocean Touch+] and switched to [Cat Claw Technique].
The webs growing between the fingers disappeared, and the nails began to lengthen at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming sharp and sharp, like sharp blades.
Gothe's fingers were like chisels, inserted into the stone wall, and then pulled out, alternating hands like this, climbing up little by little.
The entire inner space of the stone is not particularly large. After climbing about six or seven meters, you are already close to the top. There is a small inverted semicircular platform here.
Gaode grabbed the protruding stone wall, held it up, and jumped onto the platform.
The space on the platform is extremely small, so he found the light source with just a glance.
It was an egg the size of a fist. The shell of the egg exuded a faint fluorescent light in the dark, which was very strange.
The egg of a certain leyline creature.
Gaode made a judgment instantly.
The next moment, he stepped forward, picked up the egg directly, and held it in his arms. The egg shell was warm in its tentacles, and seemed to carry a faint rhythm of life.
But Gothe had no time to think too much at this moment and just quickly slid back into the water from the platform.
"Let's go quickly!" Gothe whispered to Tuanzi.
He didn't know the origin of this egg, but he knew that since the egg was here, in most cases, its mother would not leave too far, and might be on her way back at this time.
From the peculiarity of this egg, we can see that its origin is not simple, so there is a high probability that its mother is very powerful.
If you are hit, you are still in the water, so you will not be seriously injured.
Of course, the safest way is to act like you haven’t seen anything and leave empty-handed.
But the problem is that we have come, how can we return empty-handed?
His luck was still good. Holding the glowing egg, Gothe speeded up and left the water safely.
The passenger ship did not stop to wait for him because of his launch.
Gaode doesn't have such a big reputation.
But it doesn't matter, he had already considered this when he entered the water.
Gothe first came up to the surface to take a breath, then opened the Mandola Magic Eye and looked for the location of the passenger ship.
There were no obstacles on the water surface, and he moved very neatly, so the passenger ship did not go very far.
With the far-sightedness of Mandola's magic eye, Gothe instantly confirmed the position of the passenger ship.
Poof!
Tuanzi also appeared next to Gao De at this time.
Gothe patted Tuanzi on the head and said softly: "I'm going to have to work hard on you."
Tuanzi didn't say a word, but just pulled the two front fins inward, which was imitating the human fist-clasping action. Unfortunately, its "little short hands" did not support the touching of the two fins together.
"Let's go."
Tuanzi plunged into the water, came under Gothe's body, and then pushed up slightly.
Gao Deli stood on the ground and spread his legs, straddling Tuanzi's body, then clamped his legs together, then bent down while holding the egg, pressing against Tuanzi's back, and his body was almost folded in half.
After confirming that Gothe had sat firmly, Tuanzi spit out a string of bubbles, swung his body, and instantly started to take Gothe through the water waves, chasing the away passenger ship at an extremely fast speed.
The white water flows to both sides and separates.
At extremely high speeds, the strong wind blew, which actually gave Gothe the feeling of riding a speedboat in his previous life, which seemed extremely comfortable.
In just a moment, Gaode had already caught up with the passenger ship.
Using Tuanzi's back as the point of force, and with the help of a [jumping technique], he safely returned to the deck of the ship.
After that, he used the magic trick [Dancing Wind] to summon a small whirlwind to wrap around his body, acting as a "hair dryer" to remove the water droplets on his body and hair, and then put on the clothes he had just taken off, as if nothing had happened.
Only the egg that he had put in his coat pocket proved what had just happened.
Nothing unexpected happened next.
The passenger ship docked at the pier in Monte Town after a voyage of five hours and a quarter.
Gaode was the first person to get off the boat.
It’s not that he is impatient, the main reason is that he doesn’t like to do the common things in TV dramas such as “walking at night in white dragon fish clothes and brocade clothes”. Since it is to perform official duties, he decisively puts on the Shanghai Sentinel uniform and travels.
This way you can avoid a lot of possible troubles and get some convenience.
This is like a policeman going out to perform official duties. Whether he is wearing a police uniform or not, the work efficiency is completely different.
Unless "plainclothes" are required, Gaode will always wear the uniform of a sea sentry when performing tasks.
For example, now, other passengers on the boat, for the sake of this uniform, consciously let him go first.
Although it's not a big deal, it is indeed a bit more convenient.
Entering Monte Town from the pier, Gaude went straight to the Sheriff's Department located in the center of the town.
Without even showing his identity tag, just relying on his uniform, he successfully obtained the information on the activities of shell-stealing crabs that he had collected during this time in Monte Town.
The sheriff and guards of Monte Town are not just looking for practical information. Through this information, they have initially delineated several activity ranges of the shell-stealing crabs.
It's just that this range is a bit wide, and when the shell-stealing crabs move cautiously, it cannot be used to launch a cleanup.
"Master Mage, I'll leave it to you." The Sheriff who received Gothe said in a deep voice after transferring the information to Gothe.
Gothe smiled slightly and said reassuringly: "I will solve it as soon as possible, you don't have to worry too much."
Theoretically, the sea area is the area under the responsibility of the Sentinel Mage of Gaohuanhai.
But a theory is just a theory.
As an organization continues to develop, the division of responsibilities begins to become blurred, and it is actually normal for the organization to change to one that facilitates work.
Most of the time, low-level tasks such as Crab Disaster Hazard, where the task area is located offshore and does not require a boat to go out to sea, are assigned to low-level mages like Gaode.
How to kill a chicken with a bull's knife?
You can't let the "main hall" go to the countryside to demolish a pig farm, right?
This kind of thing is naturally done at the grassroots level.
Shallow water offshore areas.
It was evening, and the waves were sparkling on the sea.
The sea water gently laps at the rocks on the shore, making a rhythmic splashing sound.
On the shore, many strange-shaped rocks stand.
Most of the coastline of Monte Town is like this, with rugged terrain and jagged rocks. There is no place suitable for building a port.
The lack of marine benefits is one of the reasons why they are relatively economically disadvantaged offshore.
The bottoms of these reefs are full of deep crevices and pits, providing excellent shelter for many marine creatures.
At this moment, a dark brown crab beast, with its hard shell dotted with moss-like lines, was quietly huddled in the darkest corner at the bottom of one of the huge rocks.
Its slender crab legs are tightly attached to the sides of the body, motionless, like a part of the reef.
Suddenly, the motionless crab beast’s red eyes poked out from under its shell.
its eyes move extremely flexibly, scanning the surrounding environment quickly, not missing any slight movement.
Immediately afterwards, it began to move its crab legs.
Although it walks with eight legs horizontally like an ordinary crab, its speed is extremely fast. It expands and contracts quickly, bringing up strings of fine bubbles in the water.
In the blink of an eye, it left the edge of the reef like an arrow and swam rapidly in a specific direction in the sea.
There, there were several brightly colored, round and plump emerald green round objects floating.
But just as it was approaching, a swift shadow suddenly shot out from the side and headed straight for the crab beast.
As the water surged, the crab beast was instantly dizzy from the impact.
The shadow would not miss an opportunity. When the crab beast was in chaos, it immediately opened its huge mouth like a "bloody mouth" and bit down with one swift movement, directly biting through the crab beast including the shell and the crab.
Hence, it held the crab in its mouth, broke through the water, and turned around to look at the beach not far away.
Invite credit!
"Well done, Tuanzi." Gaode, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes on the beach, was not stingy with his praise.
That shadow is exactly Tuanzi.
As for the dead crab in its mouth, it was the target of Gothe's trip: the shell-stealing crab.
Tuanzi swam to the shore with the shell-stealing crab that he had bitten to death in his mouth. He shook his head hard and threw the shell-stealing crab body onto the shore.
Gaode looked at the carcass of the shell-stealing crab in front of him.
It is not big, and when fully grown, it is no more than the size of a fist.
But the danger is not small, its claws and legs are covered with dense spikes.
It contains highly toxic substances. With just a light touch, the skin of the prey can be broken and the poison can be injected into the skin of the prey.
This is their main means of attack.
It actually sounds a bit weak, at least in a world with extraordinary power, this method is a bit weak.
The fact is that they are indeed very weak. Among the first-order earth line creatures, they can be regarded as the younger brothers among younger brothers.
Tuanzi, who was also at the first level, easily captured the shell-stealing crab without even using three axes.
But it is precisely because of their weak chickens that they have an extremely vigilant character, so that they can save their lives as much as possible.
At the same time, they also have amazing reproductive capabilities, which is an important reason why they have not become extinct.
The eyes of the shell-stealing crab are as bright as two small rubies, and they still look like this even after they have become dead crabs.
And they are the vouchers for settlement tasks.
Gothe took off its two eyes and put them into the cloth bag in his hand.
Inside, there were forty or fifty ruby-like eyes.
This means that Gothe has killed twenty or thirty shell-stealing crabs that are famous for being cautious and hard to find.
It has actually only been a few hours since he arrived in Monte Town.
Even second-level or even third-level mage may not have this kind of efficiency.
According to this efficiency, it would take anywhere from a month and a half, but at most two or three days, to wipe out all the shell-stealing crabs on the beach near Monte Town.
The biggest contribution to all of this naturally comes from the emerald green round object that attracts the shell-stealing crabs to leave their nests, or should be called jewel berries.
【Magic Berry Technique+】：
Extra: The berries created by this spell are powerfully attractive to animals.
Shell-stealing crabs are also animals, so they will also be deeply attracted by the sweet gem berries created by [Magic Berry +].
This is why Gaode dared to take on this "difficult task" without hesitation.
The common sea sentinel mage can only do this task by staying stationary and waiting for the shell-stealing crab to appear.
But Gaode can use gem sweet berries to actively build nests and attract shell-stealing crabs from their hidden hiding places.
This solves the most difficult joint in the [Crab Disaster Hazard] mission, improves the hunting efficiency tenfold and a hundredfold, allowing him to complete this mission easily and quickly.
