Hunter Queen: Killer Queen

Chapter 360 Crossing the Lake×Strike First×Shell

After coming to this conclusion, the team's actions couldn't help but speed up a bit.

Without waiting for daybreak, and after confirming that there was no danger at the lake, the team arrived there and started building boats for crossing the lake.

The boat used to cross the lake was not too small. At the same time, Joey and others also peeled off some trunks from nearby giant trees and used them on the boat. Although they were not too sure about the specific shape of the branches of such giant trees. The effect, but judging from the fact that the shelled monster has not been close to the giant tree before, maybe the giant tree has a feeling of disgust and repulsion towards the shelled monster, just like the shelled monster towards the black dragon.

And even if there are problems with the branches of these giant trees, they can destroy or abandon them midway, which is not difficult.

Anyway, in general, it is better to bring it than not to bring it.

In addition, the experiment on the giant tree trunks was also evaluated after the Nian Beast carried the giant tree branches into the water.

It's just that there is no useful feedback. The exploding eyeballs don't care if there are branches dragged into the water in the hands of the mind beast.

The team did not continue to test or irritate the eyeballs in the lake. After all, trying to stop the eyeballs from rioting would also consume a lot of physical strength and thoughts, which would not be good for the next action.

Before dawn, Crook fed back some news to Qi Duo.

It was her research on shelled monsters. Just as Joey thought, she really got the shelled monster and dissected it.

But the conclusion drawn is not very good. Although these shelled monsters look like real creatures, their essence is like a kind of mind beast that releases the mind system.

And its body is that thick and solid shell!

The shell creates a special tentacle monster that can move with the shell on its back by releasing life energy or absorbing the life energy of other beings.

"So you mean, this shell is the real living creature?" Chiduo summarized Crook's report.

"Yes, it's just that this thing is difficult to dismantle. I dismantled a few but didn't get any useful information. They are more like brainless single-cell organisms. What drives them to act is more like instinct." Ke Rook played with a broken piece of carapace in his hand.

The cut on the carapace was very smooth, and it didn't look as difficult to remove as she said.

"Sometimes it's hard to deal with brainless things." Qi Duo said helplessly.

But Joey knew what she meant. Being brainless meant that it was very easy to be exploited. At the same time, this kind of person would be very stubborn once he identified something.

But Joey is also very confused about one thing. If this kind of shelled monster only has this level, then why does the black dragon avoid them?

Is it just because this thing is not suitable for consumption? Is that the type where there is absolutely no benefit from killing?

this is possible!

It's even possible that this is the real answer.

But as Qi Duo said, whether it is a shelled monster or a black dragon, it is likely that it is a back-up left by Cajin in order to keep them in the lake permanently.

So in addition to the place, Joey also proposed another way, which is to lure both of them away in advance.

It may not be easy to take out the shelled monster, but it shouldn't be too difficult to lure away the black dragon. You just need to give the black dragon a target.

In Joey's opinion, this target is a human being. This is not only a way to attract the black dragon, but also a test of the black dragon.

Because whether it was Joey, Jin, or Pariston, their unified judgment was that Ka Jin's real killer move should be on the black dragon.

As for the black dragon that could be used, all they could think of was the black dragon's possible ill will towards humans.

It is not too difficult to guide this kind of malice to Joey and the others. They only need to use human-like mind beasts to guide the black dragon.

Once Joey and the others confront the black dragon, the result is obvious. Even if they are not completely destroyed, they will fall apart.

If there is no team in the Dark Continent and it is just a one-man operation, the chance of survival will be greatly reduced.

Before the sun rose, Qi Duo was still discussing various situations that might arise after the operation with Jin and others.

However, Joey has already spread out a large number of golden experience creatures such as hummingbirds with the help of Pyorn. They are scattered on the plains, giant trees and lakes, and any unexpected appearance cannot escape their eyes.

Pyorn provided Joey with many cameras, and these cameras also transmitted the images to Pyorn's mobile phone during operation.

But when Joey glanced at Pyonn's phone, he felt a little dazzled, because there were dozens of pictures on the phone, and each one was only the size of a grain of rice.

But even such a small picture seems to be very clear in Pyorn's eyes, allowing her to understand what is happening in all the pictures.

This situation obviously cannot be explained scientifically. After all, Joey knows that the screen resolution of mobile phones in this world cannot allow a picture the size of a grain of rice to be clearly displayed.

So this should be related to Pyonn's ability, but I don't know whether her ability acts on the phone or her eyes.

And which system should this ability be classified into specifically? Or should it be said that it is a trait-based ability?

Pyorn just smiled at Joey but didn't explain anything.

When the sun rose, the boat had already launched and was ready to cross the lake. Qi Duo took one last look at the direction of the sea of ​​trees, and then took the lead on board the big boat.

The big ship also began to become transparent as people boarded it, and gradually disappeared from the water.

The situation under the water was no different from that at night. It was still quiet, which made everyone sailing on the lake breathe a sigh of relief.

The lake is not particularly huge. According to the speed of the boat, it will only take a few hours to reach the other side if there are no unexpected events.

Looking towards the water from the deck of the ship, one can see terrifying eyeballs, and the entire lake gives people a creepy feeling.

Sailing on this kind of lake is really a kind of psychological torture for people.

At least Joey only glanced at it and looked back with numbness.

I had never had such a terrifying feeling when looking towards the lake from the giant tree, but when I really sailed on such a lake, I always felt like I would be dragged into the lake by something unknown in the next second.

As the ship moved further and further away from the shore, changes were also taking place on the plain.

The first thing that happened was that the strange smell on the plain began to sound, and the sound of sucking gradually began to disappear. The shelled monsters that were enjoying themselves began to become normal and had the intention of retreating towards the lake.

However, they moved very slowly, as if they had not yet recovered from the state of absorbing the strange smell.

The observing hummingbird transmitted everything intact back to Pjorn's mobile screen.

Pion put the picture on the computer so that everyone could observe the situation on the plain in real time.

"Kajin should have calculated the time of our departure accurately. Although there was some deviation in this time due to our expedited processing, even so, it has to be said that their judgment was somewhat accurate." There was something on Jin's face. dignified.

"The focus is still on the black dragon." Pariston didn't particularly care about the shelled monster.

"The black dragon has not made any changes yet." Pyorn replied.

"Then let's take action first. There's no need to be passive all the time." There was a bit of a smile on Pariston's face, and he didn't know exactly what he was laughing at.

But he has always been like this, so everyone is used to it.

Especially those members of the Twelve Earthly Branches who had worked with him in the association before were completely immune to his smile.

"There are some adventures. According to previous speculation, the shelled monster is to deal with us who choose to cross the lake, so the black dragon should be for us who choose to avoid the lake.

Will provoking the Black Dragon so directly now have self-defeating consequences? "It was Kobayakawa who spoke.

Although he is a member of the scout team, he is actually not very good at exploration, so he participated in the discussion at this time.

"The direction the black dragon came from was between the lake and the mountains. Who knows if it will be in the same direction when it leaves, and if it is really in this direction, it will probably fly not far above our heads. ." Pariston raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the mountains to the northeast of the mountains.

"Are you so sure that the black dragon will find us driving on the lake?" Kobayakawa spoke again.

"This is not the first time that the ability to build ships has appeared." Pariston did not answer Kobayakawa's question, but talked about another question.

Just his words made Kobayakawa frown.

Because Pariston was right, his shipbuilding ability had already been exposed, and once they chose to cross the lake, shipbuilding was almost inevitable.

As long as Cajin is not stupid, they will definitely make preparations for this.

Then they are likely to be exposed during the black dragon's flight.

In addition, those who chose to cross the lake had been wary of one thing, and that was whether Cajin would leave any backup in the lake.

After all, they had set fire on the plain before and caused the current situation. It was very reasonable to arrange something in the lake.

They were still somewhat prepared to deal with the situation in the lake, but if the two parties really broke out together and the Black Dragon discovered that they were attacking from two sides, then the problem would be huge.

Chido obviously also thought of this, so she stopped Kobayakawa: "Okay, and the time should be almost there, but I don't know if we can lead it far enough."

"You should have some confidence. What you worry about is not whether you can draw him far enough, but whether you will make the black dragon completely mad and furious." Pariston obviously does not have any talent for comforting people.

But what he said was true, and Joey could prove it.

Because in his opinion, the method of seducing the black dragon was an act of seeking death, and the guy who provided this plan was none other than Xiaojie's father, Jin!

This man has known about the existence of the black dragon for a long time, and even conducted an in-depth investigation of the black dragon. He also knows some of the habits of the black dragon, as well as V5's method of dealing with the black dragon.

This includes how V5 lured the black dragon to a predetermined location.

At this time, in order to attract the Black Dragon's attention, Jin provided this method and restored it through Porter's operation.

Once the method of using the humanoid mind beast to attract the black dragon's attention doesn't work, then this method, which has a more than 90% chance of making the black dragon explode, will come in handy.

At that time, Black Dragon still doesn’t know what kind of performance it will make.

So there is nothing wrong with Pariston's reminder, but saying it at this time has no other meaning besides making people uneasy.

During their conversation, the picture on the computer gradually changed.

The shelled monsters gradually woke up from their intoxicated state, and their return speed began to accelerate, and it even felt like the tide was receding on the plains.

At this time, the first level of preparation arranged by Jin also came in handy.

There seems to be some kind of tacit understanding between the giant tree and the shelled monster. They do not get close to each other. Even if the shelled monster passes by the area where the giant tree is located, it will pass through the dry ground near the giant tree in a weird way, like a queue.

But at this time, there are sections of thick branches piled up on the road that these shelled monsters must pass to return to the lake.

These branches were cut from the giant tree!

After discovering that Ka Jin was using tree branches to board a boat, Jin had already started planning. His mercenaries even used the association's shipbuilding skills to launch attacks on a large number of giant trees.

The chopped branches were not only used on the bottom of the boat, but also used to block the road.

What Kim wants to see is the selection of these shelled monsters!

The first shelled monster on the way back stopped near a thick branch, and it made a whining sound from its shell. The sound sounded very resentful, as if it was complaining about something.

But the shelled monster itself lingered on the spot, as if waiting for the branches to leave voluntarily when it screamed.

And what happened next was exactly as the shelled monster thought, the branch "actively" moved away!

But through the camera, Joey and others could clearly see that the severed branches did not move on their own, but were dragged away by roots protruding from the ground!

Even though I had known for a long time that the roots of the giant tree could drag prey into the ground, I never thought that the giant tree would actively make way for it as if it had wisdom.

Jin, who was watching all this through the camera, did not have a depressed look on his face, but instead was full of excitement.

Joey just glanced at Jin and looked away, because Jin's current expression was simply like that of a child when he discovered a new toy. The curiosity, expectation and joy were undisguised.

But without the obstruction of branches, the shelled monster returned to the lake faster.

"Don't you think this thing looks like a single-celled organism?" Joey looked at Crook: "Why does it look a little intelligent?"

Crook didn't answer. He reached out and took out a neatly cut piece of shell from the backpack on his back and handed it to Joey.

Joey took it in surprise, not knowing what Crook meant.

"This thing will die when taken apart, so I only made a guess based on its actions and the structure inside the shell. You can study it yourself." Crook gave his own explanation.

"Okay." Joey touched the hard shell in his hand and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He has been coveting this shell for a while. If he hadn't been unable to move around casually, he would have long wanted to catch a shelled monster and study it himself.
