Chapter 394

Tuanzi's spirituality was extremely high; if it could handle it itself, it wouldn't come to find him first.

Gao De was clear about this point.

He didn't hesitate much either, walked to a corner where no one was, immediately took off his clothes and placed them aside, wearing only close-fitting clothes, and then jumped.

With a splash, Gao De slipped into the water like a fish, without even splashing much waves, which could be called an extremely beautiful dive.

As soon as Gao De entered the water, Tuanzi also buried its head into the bottom of the water again, shaking its body left and right towards Gao De, while fiddling with its short double fins.

Gao De gently patted Tuanzi's head, which was both to express encouragement and praise, and also to cast 【Beast Link+】, establishing a deeper level of connection with Tuanzi to facilitate communication and understand the specific situation.

With the establishment of the connection, the incomparably excited and joyful intention from Tuanzi was clearly transmitted.

The situation was not complex either.

Tuanzi was originally a lively and active personality; although Bi Bo Ting was not small, it had been messing around in that water area since birth and had long lost its freshness. Now that it had arrived in a new water system, it was naturally swimming wantonly, drilling here and exploring there.

As a result, with this drilling and exploring, it made an unexpected harvest.

How it was a harvest, Tuanzi couldn't express clearly.

Gao De wasn't in a hurry either, let Tuanzi lead the way in front, then cast Ocean's Touch on himself, and followed.

Pirated is just not as good as genuine.

Even though he grew webs through spells, his movement speed in the water was still far inferior to Tuanzi's.

Tuanzi was obviously very excited, swimming in front, its tail twitching the water flow, fiddling with a large string of bubbles.

Swimming forward for more than two hundred meters, seeing that it was almost at the place, Gao De floated out of the water, took another deep breath of oxygen, and then sank in one breath following Tuanzi.

Sinking more than ten meters, an incomparably huge and strange-shaped stone appeared before his eyes.

Looking around, he couldn't see the bottom, as if it were a small building built from the bottom of the water.

Tuanzi's discovery was located in the middle section of this huge stone.

Here, the stone suddenly cracked, and a crack more than two meters wide appeared, from which light faintly shone through.

In the water, and in a closed big stone, the light was naturally not from the sunlight outside.

Without a doubt, there should be something that could emit light inside.

In games, things that emit light are generally treasures, such as night-luminescent pearls, etc., which is a very classic setting.

Reality, although different from games, is also not far off, and is definitely not an ordinary thing.

Tuanzi swung its body in front, "inviting" Gao De to enter.

Full of curiosity, it had already drilled in to see, confirming that there was no danger inside.

Gao De didn't hesitate either, his legs hit the water gently in a whip-leg posture, and he swam towards that crack.

The crack was a diagonally downward passage, and the surrounding water flow became turbulent because of the narrow gap, constantly impacting Gao De's body.

However, after swimming only a short distance, it folded upwards in an obtuse angle posture.

And the surging river water also stopped abruptly at this obtuse angle.

It was like a cave hidden in the center of the stone, and there was no water flow above it, but locked air.

Gao De poked his head out of the water, looked around, and didn't need to hold his breath anymore.

No wonder Tuanzi couldn't handle it.

This guy was like a swimming dragon in the water, and once there was no water, it was two eyes smeared with black.

He couldn't rely on its two front fins like hands to crawl up, right?

"You wait here." Gao De raised his head, could faintly see fluorescent light flickering above, and instructed Tuanzi.

Then, he quickly canceled 【Ocean's Touch+】, and instead cast 【Cat Claw Spell】.

The webs between his fingers disappeared, and his nails began to extend at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming sharp and keen, like blades.

Gao De's fingers were like chisels, inserted into the stone wall, and then pulled out, his hands alternating like this, climbing up bit by bit.

The entire stone interior space was not particularly large, so after climbing up for about six or seven meters, he was already close to the top, where there was an inverted semi-circular small platform.

Gao De grabbed the protruding stone wall, supported it with his hand, and jumped onto the platform.

The platform space was extremely small, so after just one glance, he discovered the source of the light.

That was an egg the size of a fist, the eggshell emitting a faint fluorescent light in the darkness, which was very peculiar.

An egg of some kind of ley line creature.

Gao De made a judgment instantly.

The next moment, he stepped forward and picked up this egg directly, holding it in his arms; the eggshell felt warm to the touch, and it seemed to carry a faint life rhythm.

However, Gao De had no time to think more at this moment, just quickly slid back into the water from the platform.

"Hurry up!" Gao De 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 wouldn't leave too far, perhaps she was on her way back at this time.

From the peculiarity of this egg, it could be seen that its origin was not simple, so most likely its mother was very powerful.

If they bumped into her, and it was in the water, it would be inevitable to suffer.

Of course, the safest way was to pretend he hadn't seen anything and leave empty-handed honestly.

But the problem was that since he had come, how could he return empty-handed?

Luck was still good; holding this glowing egg, Gao De accelerated and safely left this water area.

The passenger ship didn't stop to wait for him because he went into the water.

Gao De didn't have such a big face.

However, it didn't matter; he had already considered this point when he went into the water.

Gao De first floated to the water surface to take a breath, then opened the Mandola Magic Eye to find the passenger ship.

There were no obstacles on the water surface, and his movements were very nimble, so the passenger ship didn't go far.

Under the long-distance vision ability of the Mandola Magic Eye, Gao De instantly confirmed the position of the passenger ship.

Poof!

Tuanzi also popped its head out beside Gao De at this time.

Gao De patted Tuanzi's head and said softly: "I'll have to trouble you."

Tuanzi didn't speak, just retracted its two front fins inward; this was imitating the human cupping action, it's just a pity that its "little short hands" didn't support it to touch the double fins together.

"Go."

Tuanzi dived under the water, came under Gao De, and then topped up slightly.

Gao De nimbly opened his legs, sat across Tuanzi, clamped his legs tightly, then bent down holding the egg, sticking tightly to Tuanzi's back, his body almost folded in half.

After confirming that Gao De was sitting firmly, Tuanzi spat out a string of bubbles, its body swung, and it started instantly, taking Gao De to break through the water waves and chase the passenger ship that was going away at an extreme speed.

The white water flow separated to both sides.

Under the extreme speed, the strong wind blew, which actually gave Gao De a feeling of riding a speedboat in his previous life, which was incomparably comfortable.

However, in a moment, Gao De had already caught up with the passenger ship.

Using Tuanzi's back as a force point, and then with the help of a 【Jump Spell】, he returned to the deck of the ship safely.

Subsequently, he cast the cantrip 【Dance Wind】 to summon a small whirlwind to wrap his whole 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 had been put into his coat pocket was proof of what had just happened.

Next, no more unexpected situations occurred.

After sailing for five hours and a quarter of an hour, the passenger ship docked at the pier of Monte Town.

Gao De was the first person to get off the ship.

It wasn't that he was in a hurry; it was mainly that he didn't like to do the "white dragon fish suit, brocade clothes night walk" thing common in TV dramas. Since he was performing official duties, he decisively wore the Hai Shao Bing uniform to go out.

This could not only avoid many possible troubles but also 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 it is an occasion that requires "plain clothes," Gao De generally wears the Hai Shao Bing uniform when performing tasks.

For example, now, other passengers on the ship, out of respect for this uniform, consciously let him go first.

Although it was not a big deal, it was indeed more convenient.

Entering Monte Town from the pier, Gao De headed straight for the Security Office in the center of the small town.

He didn't even need to show his identity identification card; just by relying on the uniform on his body, he successfully obtained the activity traces and collection data of the Shell-Stealing Crab discovered in Monte Town during this period.

The security officers and guards of Monte Town were not eating dry food either. Through these data and information, they had initially delineated several activity range intervals for the Shell-Stealing Crab.

It's just that this range interval was really a bit broad, and under the situation of the Shell-Stealing Crab's cautious activity, it could not be used to carry out extermination.

"Mage, then I'll leave it to you." The security officer who received Gao De handed the data to Gao De and said in a deep voice.

Gao De smiled slightly, comforted him and said: "I will solve it as soon as possible, you don't need to worry too much."

Theoretically, the sea area is the area that high-circle Hai Shao Bing mages are responsible for.

However, theory is just theory.

In the process of a continuous development of an organization, the division of responsibilities begins to become blurred, and it is a very normal thing to change to a direction that facilitates work.

Like the task of Crab Disaster Hidden Danger, which is a low-level task and the task area is located offshore, without the need to take a ship to sea, most of the time, it is divided to low-level mages like Gao De.

Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?

You can't let the "main hall" go to the countryside to dismantle a pig farm, right?

This kind of thing is naturally done by the grassroots.

Offshore shallow water area.

It was evening, and the sea surface was sparkling.

The seawater gently slapped the reefs on the shore, making a rhythmic splashing sound.

On the shore, many strange-shaped reefs stood tall.

The coastline of Monte Town was mostly like this, rugged and strange, and there was no place suitable for building a port.

Not being able to eat marine welfare was one of the reasons why their economy was relatively poor despite being near the sea.

The bottoms of these reefs were covered with deep cracks and pits, providing an excellent shelter for many marine creatures.

At this moment, a dark brown crab beast, with moss-like patterns on its hard shell, was quietly curled up in the darkest corner at the bottom of one of the huge reefs.

Its slender crab legs were tightly attached to both sides of its body, motionless, like a part of the reef.

Suddenly, the red eyes of this motionless crab beast poked out from under the shell.

Its eyes turned extremely flexibly, quickly scanning the surrounding environment, not letting go of any slight movement.

Immediately after, it began to move its crab legs.

Although it was also walking sideways with eight legs like an ordinary crab, its speed was exceptionally fast, quickly stretching and contracting, 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 from a bow, flying towards a specific direction in the seawater.

There, several brightly colored, round, and plump emerald green objects were floating.

But it had just wanted to approach, and a swift shadow had already rushed out from the side, heading straight for the crab beast.

Between the water flow, the crab beast was instantly dizzy.

That shadow would not miss the opportunity, taking advantage of the crab beast falling into chaos, immediately opened its giant mouth like a "blood basin," bit down, the action was crisp and neat, directly biting through the crab beast along with the shell.

Subsequently, it bit the crab beast, broke the water surface, and turned back to look at the beach not far away.

Seeking credit!

"Good job, Tuanzi." Gao De, who witnessed this scene on the beach, was not stingy with his praise.

That shadow was exactly Tuanzi.

As for the dead crab it was biting, it was exactly the goal of Gao De's trip: the Shell-Stealing Crab.

Tuanzi bit the Shell-Stealing Crab it had bitten to death and swam to the shore, shook its head hard, and threw the Shell-Stealing Crab corpse onto the shore.

Gao De looked at the Shell-Stealing Crab corpse in front of him.

It was not big, and it was only the size of a fist when fully adult.

But the danger was not small; its crab claws and crab legs were covered with dense sharp thorns.

It contained highly toxic, and it could break the prey's skin with just a light touch, injecting toxins into the prey's skin.

This was their main attack method.

It sounded a bit weak, at least in a world with supernatural power, this method was a bit weak.

The fact was that they were indeed weak, and among first-rank ley line creatures, they could be counted as the younger brother of the younger brother.

Tuanzi, who was also first-rank, didn't even use its three-board axe, and easily took down this Shell-Stealing Crab.

But it was precisely because they were weak that they created their extremely vigilant personality, so that they could save their lives as much as possible.

At the same time, they also possessed amazing reproductive ability, which was an important reason why they were never extinct.

The eyes of the Shell-Stealing Crab were as bright as two small rubies, even if it had become a dead crab, it was still like this.

And they were the vouchers for settling the task.

Gao De took off its two eyes and put them into the cloth bag in his hand.

Inside, there were already forty or fifty eyes like rubies.

This represented that Gao De had already killed twenty or thirty Shell-Stealing Crabs known for being cautious and difficult to find.

And since he arrived in Monte Town, it had actually only been a few hours.

This kind of efficiency, even a second-circle or even a third-circle mage, might not possess it.

According to this efficiency, there was no need for half a month, at most it was two or three days, and Gao De could completely exterminate the Shell-Stealing Crabs on the beach near Monte Town.

The greatest credit for all this naturally stemmed from the emerald green round objects that attracted the Shell-Stealing Crabs out of their nests, or should they be called Jewel Sweetberries.

【Goodberry Spell+】:

Extra: The berries created by this spell will have a strong attraction to animals.

Shell-Stealing Crabs also belong to animals, so they will also be deeply attracted by the Jewel Sweetberries created by the 【Goodberry Spell+】.

This was the confidence that Gao De dared to take this "thorny task" without hesitation.

Ordinary Hai Shao Bing mages doing this task could only honestly squat down and wait for the rabbit, waiting for the Shell-Stealing Crab to appear.

But Gao De could use Jewel Sweetberries to actively nest and attract the Shell-Stealing Crabs out of their hidden hiding places.

This solved the most difficult joint in the 【Crab Disaster Hidden Danger】 task, increased the hunting efficiency by ten or a hundred times, and allowed him to complete this task easily and quickly.
