more

"Come on, Jon! If it's a man, just resist me! The daimyo shield crab is dying! ”

"Tiger cat, you give a little more force! Haven't you had enough to eat? Slash with charge! Charge up and slash! ”

"Nerd, what are you doing? What's the use of you smashing with a gun? Poke ah! Stab hard! Or shoot it! ”

Three heavily armored players, wielding their respective weapons, were besieging a giant crab that was almost ten meters tall, while a little further away from them, a player in leather armor was "shooting" with a light crossbow in succession, while still shouting and directing the battle. *.*Hundred! Dawn. Bear*

This is a mission called "Mutant Daimyo Shield Crab Crusade", and the target of the hunt is the Daimyo Shield Crab that has mutated because of the blood "fluid" infected with the ancient dragon species. Adventure 4

The shield crab is a giant crab with similar habits to hermit crabs, and will live in other shells to increase its defense. It's just that unlike the hermit crabs in reality, their bodies are also quite powerful monsters, which should not be underestimated.

The so-called "Daimyo Shield Crab" is a very special type of crab, and the shell they use is often the skeleton of the dragon species, especially the skull of the four-star monster One-Horned Dragon. However, because they are so large, the skull, which is already quite large for humans, can only be regarded as an ornament on its body, and does not add to its combat power.

The daimyo shield crab, which was originally nearly seven meters tall, has a helmet-like one-horned shell that looks like the super gorgeous armor worn by the ancient lords of Japan, and the name "daimyo shield crab" comes from which the lords of ancient Japan were called "daimyo".

However, the one-horned dragon is a very rare monster, and each player will receive the task of "fighting the one-horned dragon alone" when he is promoted to a senior hunter, and in the rest of the circumstances, he can only pray that the system uncle will be kind enough to refresh such a task for himself - however, the system uncle rarely sends this kind of kindness, and basically the vast majority of players have seen the horned dragon once until now.

So, in order to obtain the "horn of the horn of the horn of the dragon", which is a material for making weapons, players naturally set their sights on the not so rare daimyo shield crab.

Uncle System has always been not so generous, after hunting the Daimyo Shield Crab a few times, there will be a "Mutant Daimyo Shield Crab Crusade" task, and only by completing this task can you continue to hunt them. And the one that appeared in this quest was "infected with the blood 'fluid' of the ancient dragon species and mutated...... It's a boss template monster with a five-star pinnacle......

Originally, this quest was for all players, so whenever this kind of quest was refreshed, it would be led by a master like Zhang Channian, and several masters would join forces to kill it. But with the update of the system, this quest has also changed, and it has developed into a random selection of a few four-star players who have recently defeated the Daimyo Shield Crab, and then forcibly granted this limited-time task, if it cannot be completed within the time limit, the Daimyo Shield Crab will not appear in the hunting table of the entire "Monster Hunter" world for the next period of time......

So every now and then, the unfortunate winners will either call friends or openly recruit four teammates to deal with the big troublesome monster.

Among the players who won the bid this time, there was a man named Xiao Li, who was more familiar with Zhang Channian, so he came to Zhang Channian for help. I don't know what Zhang Channian thinks, he didn't make a move himself, but he asked Cheng Peng to hide his identity to participate in the crusade, and told him to use the system weapon gun, and not to use too strong force, as an ordinary hunter to experience the feeling of "hunting".

"Cheng Peng, there is no doubt about your strength, but I think ...... You seem to have a misunderstood understanding of the concept of 'hunting'. At the time, he said, "I know that even the mutated Daimyo Shield Crab is no match for you, in fact, you can do it alone." But this time, don't work too hard, just play the role of an ordinary hunter and see how we fight. ”

"Is this necessary?" Cheng Peng asked suspiciously.

"It is necessary, because when facing the Fuyue Dragon, we are no longer strong men who can crush the enemy with great strength, but hunters who need to raise the spirit of 120,000 to fight carefully...... It will be helpful for you to familiarize yourself with the fighting style of the Hunter in advance. Zhang Channian said, "As for Yufei...... Anyway, he's long-range, and long-range combat is like that, and it's almost the same if you understand it or not, so it doesn't matter. ”

Cheng Peng accepted Zhang Channian's suggestion, replaced his Xuanyuan armor with a rather heavy and inconvenient armor that Phil found, and replaced the weapon with a gun that Zhang Channian was used to but had been replaced by the Heavenly Thunder Axe, and joined the crusade under the pseudonym "Nerd".

Players can use a pseudonym instead of their real name when joining a team, but generally speaking, no one wants such a teammate, and it is difficult for those who hide their heads and tails to gain the trust of others. However, with Zhang Channian coming forward to vouch, Xiao Li had no opinion.

Perhaps out of bad taste, at his suggestion, all four members of the improvised "Mutant Daimyo Shield Crab Raiding Team" used pseudonyms. "Nerds" with guns, "Jon?" with two-handed giant shields? Bell", the "Tiger Cat" who uses a big sword, and the "I'm so handsome" who uses a light crossbow can take such a long name.

Among these four people, except for Cheng Peng, who deliberately hid his strength, the other three are all masters at the peak of the four-star, and their skills are quite good.

Jon has a lot of strength, and he can actually use a giant shield to resist all kinds of attacks of the Daimyo shield crab except for smashing his whole body with his claws, and in terms of MT's ability, he is not inferior to Levi.

The strength of the tiger cat is also very "outstanding", a giant sword larger than the body of an ordinary person, like a door panel, plays like a dagger in his hand, flying up and down can almost pull out the sword flower, this weightless kung fu is indeed rare.

As for Xiao Li, who is still called by everyone's real name because his name is too long, he is a "colorful" "shooter", almost at the same level as Xiao Xiao - so Cheng Peng doubts whether they are relatives, but his most powerful thing is that he can accurately determine where the Daimyo's shield crab is by just observing and listening to sounds. Adventure 4

Monsters like the Daimyo Shield Crab have the ability to sneak through the sand, and they sneak with little to no trace, only making noises that shake the sand when they rush out of the ground to attack - but by the time they hear it, it's often too late to escape.

If Cheng Peng didn't retain his strength, in front of his innate spiritual sense, any stealth would not make much sense; But now he deliberately doesn't use this ability, so when the Daimyo Shield Crab burrows into the sand, he's just as blind as Jon and the Tiger Cat, and can only be beaten passively.

If it weren't for Xiao Li, a living probe, this crusade would have been very difficult.

"Everyone is scattered...... Nerds watch out, heading your way...... Flash! ”

Cheng Peng did not dodge in advance according to his intuitive judgment, but honestly obeyed Xiao Li's command, and jumped out when the sense of danger was extremely strong, and he could only "insert" himself by a fraction of a millimeter from the back stab like a spear.

This kind of crisis situation made him a little nervous even after a hundred battles and had long regarded the danger as if he were idle, and the close encounter with the giant monster that was at least as tall as an old-fashioned four-story apartment building also made him pinch a cold sweat, and his back was even colder, and it seemed that even the sweat "hair" stood up.

In terms of strength, the mutant Daimyo Shield Crab is definitely not the opponent of Cheng Peng, who is going all out, but this tension has nothing to do with strength, it is the natural reaction of a creature like a human being in the face of a huge predator, and it is something that our ancestors have passed down through bloodline and engraved in the depths of everyone's soul.

Cheng Peng is naturally no exception.

"I think, I understand a little bit of Zhang Channian's meaning now......" He hurriedly avoided the front, making way for the rushing MT Sean, and by the way, grabbed the side that the daimyo shield crab could not attack, and swung the gun that was not very easy to use, and slammed it, while secretly thinking, "If it is an ordinary person, in the face of such a monster, what is needed is not outstanding martial arts and extraordinary courage, but the tacit cooperation between companions, as well as full caution...... I think that when we deal with the Fuyue Dragon, the gap between us will definitely be bigger than the one they have against the Daimyo Shield Crab......"

If Zhang Channian or Phil told him these truths in person, of course he would have paid attention to them, but he would definitely not have understood them as thoroughly as he had this personal experience.

Many things, many truths, can only be truly understood when you have experienced it once.

In the following battle, Cheng Peng played a good role as "a master who may come from other worlds and has good strength but is not very familiar with the combat methods of the monster hunter world", and fought with Xiao Li, Jon and Tiger Cat, relying on teamwork, little by little, he grinded off the outrageous amount of health of the mutated Daimyo Shield Crab, and successfully smashed its shell in the fierce battle, and obtained the most precious and rare "dorsal armor pearl" among the various materials produced by the Daimyo Shield Crab.

After an hour of fierce fighting, when the huge sea creature like a building finally staggered and fell, even Cheng Peng already felt that his muscles were soft and couldn't help but sit on the ground to rest, while Xiao Li and the others just lay down directly, unable to even stand up.

But their faces were filled with cheerful smiles.
