"Come on Jon! If you're a man, hold on! The Daimyo Shield Crab is dying!"
"Tiger Cat, please work harder! Don't you have enough to eat? Use the power to chop! Charge the power to chop!"
"What are you doing, nerd? What's the use of hitting it with a gun? Stab! Stab hard! Or shoot!"
Three players wearing heavy armor were waving their own weapons and were besieging a giant crab that was almost ten meters high. A little further away from them, a player wearing leather armor was shooting continuously with a light crossbow.
He was still shouting and directing the battle.
This is a mission called "The Mutated Daimyo Shield Crab Crusade". The target of the hunt is the Daimyo Shield Crab that has mutated due to the blood infection of the ancient dragon species.
Shield crabs are giant crabs. Their living habits are similar to those of hermit crabs. They live in other shells to increase their defense. However, unlike real hermit crabs, they are also quite powerful monsters.
, absolutely cannot be underestimated.
The so-called "Daimyo Shield Crab" is a very special type of crab. The shells they use are often the bones of dragons, and they especially like to use the skulls of the four-star monster Monoceratops. However, because of their size
It is too big, so the skull, which is already quite large for humans, can only be regarded as a decoration on its body, and cannot increase its combat effectiveness.
The Daimyo Shield Crab, which was originally nearly seven meters tall, wore a helmet-like horned shell and looked like the super ornate armor worn by ancient Japanese lords. This is where the name "Daimo Shield Crab" came from.
Come - the lords in ancient Japan were called "Daimyo".
However, the one-horned dragon is a very rare monster. Except when each player is promoted to a senior hunter, he will receive the task of "fighting the one-horned dragon alone". In other cases, he can only pray that the system boss will be kind to him today.
Such a mission is created - but the system master rarely shows such kindness. Basically, the vast majority of players have only seen Dioceratops once.
Therefore, in order to obtain the "horn of a horn", a weapon-making material, players naturally set their target on the not-so-rare daimyo shield crab.
The system boss has never been so generous. After hunting several Daimyo Shield Crabs, the "Mutated Daimyo Shield Crab Crusade" mission will appear. Only by completing this mission can you continue to hunt them. And the "Mutated Daimyo Shield Crab" that appeared in this mission
The one that was infected with the blood of the ancient dragon species and mutated... is a boss template monster with a peak level of five stars...
Initially, this task was for all players, so whenever this kind of task was refreshed, it would be led by experts such as Zhang Channian, and several experts would work together to kill it. But with the system update, this task has also changed.
, actually developed into randomly selecting several four-star players who have recently defeated the Daiming Shield Crab, and then forcibly grant this limited time task. If it cannot be completed within the time limit, the Daiming Shield Crab will not be able to complete it within the time limit.
It will appear in the hunting list of the entire "Monster Hunter" world...
So every time this time comes, those players who are unfortunate enough to win the bid will either call their friends or openly recruit people, and gather four teammates to deal with that troublesome monster.
Among the players who won the bid this time, there was a man named Xiao Li who was familiar with Zhang Channian, so he came to Zhang Channian for help. I don’t know what Zhang Channian was thinking. He didn’t take action himself, but asked Cheng Peng to hide it.
He changed his identity to participate in the crusade, and told him to use the system weapon blunderbuss, and not to use too much force, so as to experience the feeling of "hunting" as an ordinary hunter.
"Cheng Peng, there is no doubt about your strength, but I think... you seem to have some wrong understanding of the concept of 'hunting'." This is what he said at the time, "I know that even the mutated Daimyo Shield Crab is no match for you.
, in fact you can handle it alone. But don’t work too hard this time, just play the role of an ordinary hunter and take a good look at how we fight."
"Is this necessary?" Cheng Peng asked doubtfully.
"It's 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 muster 120,000 points to fight carefully... Familiarize yourself with the hunters in advance
His fighting method will be very helpful to you." Zhang Channian said, "As for Yufei...he is long-range anyway, long-range combat is just that, it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, so it doesn't matter."
Cheng Peng accepted Zhang Channian's suggestion and replaced his Xuanyuan armor with a rather heavy and inconvenient armor that Phil found.
The ax took the place of the blunderbuss, and he joined the expedition team under the alias "Nerd".
When players join a team, they can use pseudonyms instead of their real names, but generally speaking, no one wants such teammates. It is difficult for someone who hides his or her secrets to gain the trust of others. However, Zhang Channian came forward to guarantee it.
, Xiao Li had no objection.
Perhaps out of bad taste, at his suggestion, all four members of the temporarily formed "Mutant Daimyo Shield Crab Crusade Team" used pseudonyms. "Nerd", who used a blunderbuss gun, and "Jon", who used a two-handed giant shield.
?Bell", "Tiger Cat Ichiban" who uses a big sword, and "Holy shit, he's so handsome, he can actually have such a long name" who uses a light crossbow.
Among these four people, except for Cheng Peng, who deliberately concealed his strength, the other three were all four-star peak masters, and their abilities were quite impressive.
Jon's strength was so great that he was able to use his giant shield to withstand all kinds of attacks from the Daimyo Shield Crab, except for swooping down with both claws and slamming him down. In terms of mt's ability, he was not inferior to Levi.
The tiger cat's strength is also very good. A giant sword that is larger than an ordinary person's body and looks like a door panel is like a dagger in his hand. It can fly up and down to pull out the sword. This effort is indeed a matter of weight.
rare.
As for Xiao Li, who is still called by his real name because his name is too long, he is an excellent shooter, almost as good as Xiao Xiao - so Cheng Peng doubts whether they are relatives, but his most powerful one is still able to rely solely on
Amazing observation ability to accurately determine where the Daimyo Shield Crab is by observing and listening to sounds.
Monsters like the Daimyo Shield Crab have the ability to sneak in the sand, and they leave almost no trace when sneaking. Only when they rush out of the ground to attack will they make a sound due to the shaking of the sand - but hearing this sound
By the time, it is often too late to escape.
If Cheng Peng did not retain his strength, any stealth would be meaningless in front of his innate spiritual sense; but now he deliberately did not use this ability, so when the famous shield crab got into the sand, he and Qiao
Like the tiger cat, En became blind and could only be beaten passively.
If it weren't for the living detector Xiao Li, this crusade would have been very difficult.
"Everyone disperse... Beware, nerds, I'm heading towards you... Flash!"
Cheng Peng did not follow his instinctive judgment and dodge in advance. Instead, he honestly followed Xiao Li's command and only jumped out when the sense of danger was extremely strong. It was no match for the giant crab's spear-like back stab.
It passed by with a slight difference.
This kind of crisis situation made him a little nervous even though he had experienced many battles and had long regarded danger as a non-issue. The close contact with the giant monster that was at least as tall as an old four-story apartment building also made him nervous.
I broke out in a cold sweat, and my back was even colder, and even the hairs on my hair seemed to stand on end.
In terms of strength, the mutated Daimyo shield crab is definitely no match for Cheng Peng who is going all out. However, this nervousness has nothing to do with strength. It is the natural reaction of human beings when facing huge predators. It is the way our ancestors passed through
It's something passed down through blood and engraved deep in 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 at the same time grabbed the side where the Daiming Shield Crab couldn't attack, and used it with a wave.
He hit hard with his gun, which was not very smooth, while thinking secretly, "If you are an ordinary person, facing such a monster, what is needed is not outstanding martial arts and extraordinary courage, but tacit cooperation among companions and sufficient caution.
...I think when we deal with Fuyue Dragon, the gap between us will definitely be bigger than when they deal with Daimyo Shield Crab..."
If these truths were told to him by Zhang Channian or Phil himself, he would certainly pay attention to them, but he would certainly not understand them as thoroughly as he had this personal experience.
There are many things and many truths that can only be truly understood if you experience them yourself.
In the ensuing battle, Cheng Peng played the role of "a master who may have come from other worlds and is good but not very familiar with the fighting methods of Monster Hunter World". He cooperated with Xiao Li, Qiaoen and Hu
The fur cats fought together and relied on teamwork to gradually wear away the outrageous health points of the mutated Daimyo Shield Crab, and successfully shattered its shell in the fierce battle and obtained the Daimyo Shield.
Among the various materials produced by crabs, the most precious and rare are "carapace pearls".
After an hour of fierce fighting, when the sea creature as big as a building finally swayed and collapsed, even Cheng Peng felt that his muscles and bones were soft and he couldn't help but sit on the ground to rest.
Xiao Li and others immediately lay down and could not even stand up.
But their faces were filled with cheerful smiles.
