hunt and eat

"Especially I can see each one at a glance."

Mie Jin nodded at the side, and said seriously: "It seems to be their special inherited painting method, which is difficult for outsiders to imitate, and those paints seem to use special plant juice, no matter how long it takes, the pictures in the picture book will be Keep it bright."

"Ha~" Weiwei with disheveled hair yawned fiercely, then sat down on the side of the ancient tower, "Good morning~"

Guta gave her an annoyed look, and pointed to the hot sunlight outside, "If you stay later, we can all prepare dinner."

"Speaking of which, do you have any plans for these two days?" Guta said to Nia who was on the side.

The daily arrangements in the team have always been in charge of Nia, who is the chief of staff.

"In the past two days, it will take a lot of time for Weiwei to make two long-range sets of the Thousand Blade Dragon and your Dragon Slaying Hammer in Guta."

Nia patted her face a little, and forced herself to wake up a bit, "Weiwei, you should stop participating in missions recently, or you will have to hunt and forge at the same time, and you will be too tired."

"Exercising or something, you can stop for a while."

Hearing this, Weiwei scratched her head in embarrassment, "Don't stop exercising or something. For me, once a habit is broken, it can never be picked up again."

"It's rare to see you reliable once." Guta patted Weiwei's shoulder with a gratified expression.

Suddenly, Niya noticed that there seemed to be a special symbol on Guta's chest.

"Guta, this is... our one-star team's application, has it been approved?"

Nia reacted quickly.

"Well, from today onwards, everyone is a member of the one-star team~" Guta smiled heartily, showing his big white teeth.

Although the one-star team is nothing, it has more or less proved that they have broken away from the category of rookies.

In the future, more missions will be officially opened to them.

Really looking forward to it!

Chapter 123 The Cannon Beetle and Its Mobile Ammunition

Two days later

The team set off from Dede Village, and after more than three hours of trekking, they finally arrived at a miniature basin called Shipao Forest.

Except for Weiwei who was still fighting hard at the blacksmith shop, there were three people left in the team, plus Qiao Qiao, all dispatched this time.

"The task this time is to hunt the cannon beetle. Considering that there are a lot of axe beetles entrenched here, for the sake of safety, I suggest to lure the cannon beetle out before hunting."

While loading ammunition into the heavy crossbow, Nia explained to her teammates.

The cannon beetle and the axe beetle are the subspecies of the heavy beetle and the penetrating beetle that Guta and the others encountered in the armored dragon hunting battle.

The relationship between the two is also very similar to that of the original species, but there are obvious differences in the specific cooperation methods.

Instead of using heavy beetles, they use pheromones to manipulate carpenter beetles to act as their fortresses, while the use of cannon beetles is more extreme and ruthless.

Using a tail similar to giant scissors, the cannon beetle will place the male, smaller axe beetle in front of its mouthparts, and use the move called [Beetle Blast Cannon] to release the latter along with the body fluids in its body. Together they turned into terrifying shells and fired at the enemy.

Because the power of this move is too powerful, even ordinary flying dragons dare not easily provoke this grumpy beetle queen.

Of course, while this move [Beetle Blazing Cannon] is powerful, it is also very costly.

That is the ax beetle as a cannonball, the moment the cannonball (that is, itself) hits the target, it will be directly smashed to pieces, without a whole body.

That's why, Nia proposed to lure out the cannon beetle alone.

No one wants to face a mobile tank with ammo on the go.

"Let me seduce. After all, in terms of speed and jumping ability, no one can match me at present." Guta directly recommended himself.

After acquiring [Foot of Lust], his speed has grown terrifyingly, coupled with his powerful strength and impressive defense, the daydream of the hexagonal warrior, which he had never imagined before, seems to be gradually Become reality.

Everyone looked at each other, and there was no objection.

"Be careful, and if possible, don't hurt those ax beetles as much as possible. They are miserable enough." Nia looked at the ax beetles that flew by from time to time in the basin below with some sympathy.

As a beetle-like monster with obvious upper and lower classes, the ax beetle is probably not even a slave to the cannon beetle, at best it is just a handy tool or dry food that it carries with it.

Every time they fight other monsters or hunters, the ax beetle will be consumed by the cannon beetle like a cannonball, so that even a female hunter like Nia feels sympathy for them.

For women who hate bugs most of the time, this is already a very rare thing.

"Okay, then I'll go back." Guta nodded, and then slid down a fork in the basin lightly.

……

10 minutes later

Relying on his agility, he managed to avoid the ancient pagoda patrolled by more than a dozen axe beetles in a row, and successfully found the cannon beetle that was comfortably hiding in the shade in a corner of the basin, and seemed to be eating Sharon meat.

It was a strange beetle that was as large as a rat tank and covered with a yellow-brown tough carapace.

The mouthparts are extremely ferocious, and the tail shows a fiery red pincer-like tail, sweeping the ground from time to time, leaving behind a dazzling spark.

"Let me think about how to lure it out." Carefully hiding his figure, Guta swung his head back and forth, observing the surrounding environment.

Compared with other places, the terrain here is obviously higher, perhaps to show its status.

There is no shadow of the ax beetle on the side for the time being, probably because the cannon beetle is in the feeding period, and other ax beetles are afraid of being used as food, so they will not approach here easily.

Strange species relationship... If I were an ax beetle, I would have flown away by myself, who is still a slave here?

Guta cursed in his heart.

However, if the position is so high, it is more convenient to seduce.

Soon, Guta thought of an idea.

Speaking of which, this is more or less borrowed from the two sand lions I met that day.

After finding a position relatively close to the outside of the basin, Guta slowly bent down and lifted a stone about half a person's height from the ground.

Roughly aiming at the position of the cannon beetle, Guta imitated the sand lion's throwing skills and threw the stone out violently.

The boulder drew a graceful arc from the air, and smashed hard on the cannon beetle's head.

Hit the target!

This is not how accurate the ancient tower was thrown. In fact, no one would miss a monster of this size.

The cannon beetle, which was still eating, was bounced violently by this inexplicably flying boulder.

The damage was actually not that great, and more was caused by the fright caused by the sudden attack.

Scanning the surroundings slightly, the cannon beetle quickly locked on to the young hunter in the distance, who did not hide his figure at all.

Putting on the flame-like dragon-slaying suit for the first time, Guta was in a state of excitement, and even put on the full-coverage helmet with great interest.

Coupled with the ferocious design of the joints of the suit, the whole person looks like the villain in the armored warrior.

The mouthparts of the cannon beetle shrank for a while, perhaps because of vigilance, and there was no sign of launching an attack immediately.

"Oh, oh, that's not acceptable." Guta shook his head, and casually picked up another fist-sized stone from the ground.

The next moment, with a "swoosh", the entire stone directly hit the mouthparts of the cannon beetle, causing the latter to take a step back unconsciously because of the pain.

"Now, you should be angry, right?" Guta laughed.

Sure enough, this time, the cannon beetle was finally completely enraged.

It threw down the half-eaten corpse, kicked its limbs on the ground, and rushed towards the ancient tower like a tank moving at high speed.

"That's right!" Guta stepped back unhurriedly, and didn't start running immediately.

At his speed, if he really started to run, he would lose sight of the cannon beetle in a matter of minutes, which would be out of his original plan.

About 30 seconds later, the cannon beetle finally caught up with the ancient tower, and its huge shield-like front claws grabbed it from one side.

With a burst of strength in his legs, Guta nimbly avoided it, and along the way, left a not deep and not shallow scratch on its shield-shaped worm arm with the Taotie Taidao.

"This defense is as thick as a heavy beetle." Although he didn't use all his strength, Guta was still shocked by the defense of the cannon beetle.

As a beetle monster with a low ecological niche, this kind of defense is already terrible, not to mention that according to rumors, this guy's attack power seems to be only stronger.

"In nature, there are really all kinds of monsters."

Faithfully acting as a bait, feeling the ancient tower of the approaching ax beetle, he sped up the pace of escape again.

……

Chapter 124 Gulong-level special moves? ——[Beetle Blazing Cannon]

Soon under the deliberate lure of the ancient tower, the cannon beetle ran to the outskirts of the basin.

Huge body, when moving on the sand surface, the speed is unexpectedly not slow.

If Guta hadn't subconsciously increased his speed later, he might have been overtaken by the cannon beetle.

It's just a little unexpected that there are still nearly five or six ax beetles, guided by special pheromones, following behind the cannon beetles and flying out one after another.

"Get ready to do it!" Guta shouted loudly, leaping forward quickly, avoiding the huge scissor-like tail of the cannon beetle.

Almost at the same time, ammunition hit the head of the cannon beetle one after another, splashing countless sparks.

With the special ammunition belt made by Weiwei, even if there is only Nia alone, the firepower formed is still quite powerful.

The advantage of the heavy crossbow gun is here. Even if the hunter's own hard power is not as good, he can still greatly enhance his own attack power by equipping it with various accessories and special ammunition.

Of course, before mastering Qi, it is difficult for long-range hunters to become the main output that really dominates the battle unless they hit a vital point. In most cases, they still exist as an auxiliary.

However, once they master Qi and can wrap it around ammunition or bows, the situation will be completely different.

It is not impossible to reproduce Barrett's sniping beyond visual range in the different world version.

Under continuous shooting, the mouthparts of the cannon beetle were directly hit, and dark mucus began to ooze out visibly to the naked eye.

I don't know if it's bodily fluid or blood.

"Hit its belly, the armor there will be weaker!" Noticing that the cannon beetle kept its belly close to the ground, Guta directly reminded his teammates.

Of course, he was not the only one who noticed this.

The next moment, with Miejuan sliding a shovel into the abdomen of the cannon beetle, the huge slashing ax slammed into the relatively light-colored abdominal carapace of the cannon beetle from below.

The crimson fury, like paint, dyed the originally blue-black Electric Dragon Slashing Axe into pure red.

[Qi Smelter·Red Axe]

After mastering the skill of [Qi Smelting Soldiers], Guta quickly taught it to Mieji.As an awakened dragonman who is also extremely talented, and with the guidance of an experienced person like Guta, it took more than ten days before and after the extermination to completely master this move.

When Nia and Weiwei also awaken Qi in the future, Guta will teach them these moves in the same way.

The electric dragon slashing ax blessed by [Furious Qi] directly smashed into the belly carapace of the cannon beetle, and the crimson air flow continued to roar and roar, turning into vibrations one after another, gradually transmitting the impact force to the cannon beetle's body inside the body.

That was much more damage than the damage to the cannon beetle caused by the rupture of the carapace on the abdomen.

The cannon beetle was obviously seriously injured after eating this.

Its ferocious mouthparts opened and closed for a while, and it stared viciously at Miejin below it, its compound eyes were full of thick murderous aura.

So, in the next second, with the sudden relaxation of the whole body, a large amount of earthy yellow pungent gas suddenly spewed out from the gaps in the cannon beetle's carapace and the countless holes in its abdomen.

The nose was already extremely sensitive, so it couldn't bear this level of stimulation at all. Covering its mouth and nose, it rolled outwards and escaped from under the cannon beetle.

The shield-shaped forelimbs that fell one after another chased Miejin and stabbed it, but they passed by Miejin every time, and each time they were always a little short, which made the cannon beetle feel agitated.

"This kind of huge, slow-moving monster likes to do this kind of tricks, right?" Seeing this scene, Guta was a little dreaming back to the scene of Kailong hunting and fighting.

At that time, the armored dragon did similar things, except that it released high-temperature steam and hypnotic gas.

But other than that, those monsters really have nothing to do.

Even though the difference in strength and physique was enormous, the flexibility of the hunters was far above these huge monsters.

There are gains and losses.

"Be careful, this should be the pheromone of the cannon beetle, which will attract the nearby axe beetles!" Nia, who had prepared her homework in advance, recognized the essence of this move almost immediately.

"Fix it quickly!"

Seeing that it drove away the attacker in its belly, the cannon beetle let out a roar, and pointed its ferocious mouth directly at the ancient tower not far away.

The ancient tower, which was preparing to defend, noticed that a white figure had climbed up the back of the cannon beetle, so it simply gave up the plan of defense and launched a frontal charge without hesitation.

Just when the cannon beetle was about to use its bodily fluids to launch [Beetle Blast Cannon], Qiao Qiao, who ignited the miniature explosive bomb in advance, threw the explosive bomb directly at the cannon beetle's head from above.
