Chapter 387 The Death of the Tragic Claw Dragon

"Have you contacted them all?"

"Yes, we have contacted them all, and everyone said there is no problem."

"What about that place, are there any new clues?"

"No, three brothers have disappeared, and we only know that it is probably in the forest outside the city, and the specific location cannot be determined."

"Well, whatever, if we can't find it, then we can't find it. What about the brothers inside?"

"We have contacted them all, and they all said they are ready to sacrifice."

"Really."

"Yes."

"Be prepared, this is the first storm of the year, and I hope the seaside city can be reborn in the future."

Blue sea, blue sky, yellow sand.

On the beach, the soft sand sways gently with the waves. The overflowing sea water submerged the shallows, forming a vast and deep blue ocean.

In the distance, the horizon connecting with the sky looks very clear. The sea breeze blows on the cheeks, bringing a little salty smell to the nose, not only not annoying, but also refreshing.

The premise is to ignore the existence of a large group of aquatic beasts lying on the shore basking in the sun, and the king of aquatic beasts - water beasts who are patrolling their territory with their heads held high.

Water Beast Island, as the name suggests, is an island where a large number of aquatic beasts live and is ruled by the strongest water beasts.

The word "rule" is debatable, but water beasts are indeed the dominant species on Water Beast Island. The lowest average altitude among all the islands in the Fiery Islands means that nearly one-third of the area of ​​Water Beast Island will be covered by sea water at high tide, thus becoming the favorite shallow hunting ground for water beasts.

The water beast has a crown-like crown on its head, yellow-brown skin covered with scales, and a strong diamond-shaped stratum corneum. While it has excellent anti-strike performance, it also provides it with a high resistance to slashing.

The huge spongy substance on the neck is formed by the degeneration and accumulation of the shed stratum corneum. It can not only store water to prevent its epidermis from drying out, but also give it the ability to continue to use water attribute attacks in a waterless and water-deficient environment.

The huge body can easily smash everything that blocks it, and the water spewed from its mouth has the special effect of accelerating the consumption of soul power.

Because it is quite difficult to deal with, some soul masters call water beasts "terrible water crawling on the ground". It is a powerful existence that is difficult for young soul masters to deal with.

As for aquatic beasts, it can be said that they are female water beasts, and they are in a husband-wife relationship with water beasts, and they are also a fully weakened and bankrupt version of water beasts.

As long as soul masters have the opportunity to kill water beasts, they will never choose aquatic beast soul rings.

Just a word of advice, water beasts and aquatic beasts like to move at night, and most of them are lazy during the day. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that soul masters who plan to hunt water beast soul rings launch a bright and open sneak attack at noon.

Dugu Bo, who was standing on a branch with his breath hidden: "."

Oscar, who was lying on the ground: "."

Ma Hongjun, who was lying on the ground: "."

"So," Qin Ming, who was also lying on the ground, felt very speechless: "You changed your target, and are you going to hunt the water beast?"

Except for Dugu Bo, who seemed very unsociable in order to maintain his demeanor, the other four big men were lying side by side in the grass on the hillside, carefully observing the water beast that was alert for some reason through the gaps in the bushes.

"No, of course not. The special ability of the water beast is good, but it is not suitable for me."

The pressure characteristic is not very useful among all the characteristics of Pokémon. In addition, Gu You is not a control type, and he does not rely on a protracted battle to win, so he does not need the ability to accelerate the consumption of soul power.

Gu You stared at the movements of the water beast intently, holding a hand-drawn map of the water beast island in one hand, with an open notebook in front of him, and writing something in the other hand.

Silently enduring the invasion of mosquitoes, Oscar collapsed and said, "Brother, please change places to see something else."

"We have been observing the water beasts for a whole day, but we don't start hunting souls. If we don't find a place to set up camp, we will sleep with the water beasts tonight."

The other soul masters who shared the boat rushed in as soon as they landed on the island. Only Gu You held everyone back and said that they must go to the beach for a stroll.

The saying is: "Identifying the ecological environment of water beasts is an important part of the appreciation of Water Beast Island."

Oscar didn't know whether to appreciate it or not. He only knew that if he didn't leave, the water beasts would probably have a meal when they entered the active night.

"Okay, okay, I'm really impatient."

Writing the last stroke on the notebook, Gu You gathered his things and stood up. He brushed off the grass debris on his body and said, "Then let's set off officially and head southeast."

Since landing on the north side of Water Beast Island, Oscar's curiosity was instantly aroused when he heard such a clear direction instruction when hunting souls. When everyone lined up in a long line, he stood in the middle of the line and asked, "Any clues?"

Picking up the straightest stick on the ground to explore the way, Gu You took the lead and walked in front, answering, "Almost."

Also observing the water beasts for a whole day, only Gu You found some clues. Even Qin Ming behind him couldn't help asking, "Is there something wrong with the water beasts?"

There were more than a dozen water beasts, big, small, fat, thin, and the most burly one just now. Qin Ming really couldn't tell the difference between them except for their age.

"It's actually quite simple, right, Your Majesty the Poison Douluo."

Dugu Bo was obviously very happy that he didn't call him the old poisonous creature in public. He smiled secretly at the end of the team and said, "Yes, it's very simple."

Then he said seriously, "Qin Ming, your performance disappoints me. I'm already worried about what Yanyan can learn from you."

Yanyan is Dugu Bo's nickname for Dugu Yan. Qin Ming's heart trembled, and he took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty, please answer my questions."

"The last water beast is the largest of all water beasts, and it is also the only one that is alert, right?"

Qin Ming nodded: "Yes."

"Why is it alert, what is it alert?"

Qin Ming thought about it and replied: "It should be a soul master. Maybe our breath is not hidden well and it was discovered by it."

"Stupid."

Why is Qin Ming so confident? Dugu Bo snorted coldly, "Judging from its size, the water beast just now is at least a 50,000-year-old soul beast, and the environment is the seaside, which is the most suitable for it to fight. How can a soul beast of this level be alert to a small soul emperor like you."

"The object of its alert is the Zhanlong who severely injured it some time ago."

Suddenly hearing the name of Zhanlong, the three people except Gu You were shocked.

According to the data, the active Zhanlong on this island is only about 10,000 years old. The water beast is a full 50,000 years old, and it was beaten to be alert even at the seaside.

It's like a fledgling swordsman fighting against an old martial arts master who has the advantage of terrain. After a fierce battle, the old martial arts master is chopped to the ground?

Ten thousand years fighting fifty thousand years, the advantage is mine.

Right.

Right?

Recalling that Zhanlong is considered by the locals to be a strong contender for the title of "King of Sub-dragons", and has a strong desire to attack. Ten thousand years actively attacking fifty thousand years is not unreasonable.

Carefully recalling the posture of the water beast, Oscar was completely confused by its majestic posture like a lion: "It doesn't seem to have any injuries on its body?"

"That's because the wound left by Zhan Long is on the neck, but it is covered by the sponge that has grown back."

Dugu Bo analyzed: "The water beast's eyes kept turning when it was on guard, but its head was always consistent with its body, which just shows that Zhan Long's attack was very fierce, and the wound on its neck has not healed yet."

Ma Hongjun also asked: "What about the Claw Dragon? It may also be the culprit who left the wound on the water beast."

"No, it can't be the Claw Dragon."

The person who answered Ma Hongjun's question was Gu You, who was leading the way in front. He said lightly: "Some people describe the Claw Dragon's attack as swift as flowing clouds and water. The continuous claw strikes will inevitably leave many difficult-to-heal wounds on the water beast's torso."

"The powerful attack that forced the water beast to jump into the sea to escape with its broken body can only come from Zhan Long's powerful tail that looks like a big sword."

At this point, Gu You couldn't hide the envy in his tone.

The growth path he set for himself was to add all skills to the physical state, rely on self-created soul skills to survive in the early stage, and develop to the later stage, which was a hair version of One Punch Man.

Unfortunately, from the actual situation, this path seems to be difficult to follow.

There is no problem with the development path itself, the key is that the environment does not allow it.

In the battle with Qian Renxue, Gu You relied on excellent basic qualities and soul skills with full state amplification to successfully withstand Qian Renxue's attack in the early stage, creating favorable conditions for the final counter-killing of Qian Renxue.

But this counter-killing is based on strategy and two top soul bones. Once any of them is missing, what awaits Gu You is a complete collapse of mid-term tactics.

Therefore, whether it is a curved hook or a sharp sword tail, for him, a small bucket without shortcomings, it is an extra-long wooden board that he urgently needs now to ensure that he can maintain the ability to counter-kill the enemy in certain situations.

The treasure also has potential, but it is a pity that the power is too great and it takes time to chant the soul spell, which is really too hurtful.

For the next two days, everyone carefully moved forward while looking for clues, but they didn't find any other traces of Zhanlong.

The lush rainforest that was growing vigorously covered up too many traces intentionally or unintentionally.

According to the climate classification that Gu You learned when he was studying, the Fiery Islands belong to a typical tropical rainforest climate. The hot temperature and the characteristics of the island make the air extremely humid, which is very suitable for the growth of various plants.

Zhanlong's heavy sword-like tail, in theory, can easily cut off all kinds of grass and trees growing on the ground just by walking normally. It's a pity that the rainforest plants that can grow from a few centimeters to more than ten centimeters a day easily buried the clues with their vigorous vitality.

"Brother, what should we do next?"

After not finding any new clues for two consecutive days and using up the fifth clean towel of the day during a short break, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Don't worry, stay calm."

Gu You took out the map and compared it with the current position. After thinking for a while, he said, "We should be almost there."

Oscar asked, "Are we there? Where?"

He had completely lost his way. The tall trees and the layers of treetops completely blocked the sky that could identify the direction.

If Gu You hadn't climbed up the treetops every half an hour, everyone except Dugu Bo would have been lost in this green hell within three hours.

"The center of Water Beast Island is called Mirror Lake."

Except for sea soul beasts and some very strange soul beasts, most soul beasts need to drink fresh water like humans. Mirror Lake is the largest source of fresh water on Water Beast Island.

Finding that he couldn't find the trace of Zhan Long by normal means, Gu You fine-tuned the route since yesterday. He changed the direction of advance from the direction where the water beasts were most alert to the direction of Mirror Lake, which was slightly south.

People can live for seven days without food, but only three days without water. Zhan Long is huge in size and has higher requirements for water replenishment. He must return to Mirror Lake from time to time to drink water.

Next, just wait and see, and sooner or later you will be able to compete with Zhan Long.

The same is true for the Claw Dragon. The agile and swift hunter also needs a lot of water to maintain body functions. Although he is more inclined to Zhan Long, which can strengthen both the waist muscles and the tail, if he finds the Claw Dragon first, Gu You will not hesitate to accept it.

What are you thinking? Do you really think that Gu You is a perfectionist who is perfect in everything? There are always trade-offs in the construction of a deck. Playing whatever hand you draw is just the basic virtue of a card player.

After resting, everyone continued to move forward, and finally arrived at the Mirror Lake in the center of the Water Beast Island at sunset two days after landing on the island.

Unfortunately, the scene in front of them made everyone's joy of arriving smoothly disappear without a trace.

The sturdy body that was bathed in blood was split in two from the waist by some kind of sharp weapon. The ferocious claws that were comparable to torture instruments have now become meat paste embedded in the huge footprints. The hard tail with a rocky texture also turned into flying fragments scattered all over the lake.

The ugly head, which looked like a skinless evil ghost, was nearly one-third less.

Judging from the canine teeth in its mouth that were as sharp as sabers, its name before death should be the powerful contender for the title of "King of Sub-dragons", the Decapoda.

The reason why it was before death was that no experienced old doctor was needed, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was beyond saving.

The lake was quiet, and the air above the lake was filled with the aroma of some kind of barbecue. For some reason, Gu You wanted to hold a barbecue party here.

Dugu Bo squatted down immediately, picked up the gray-white rock on the ground and squeezed it, then broke off a canine tooth from the head, roughly measured the length, and said: "Your 20,000-year-old Decapoda is gone."

"I think so too."

Gu You helplessly spread his hands, silently put the meat paste made from the claws of the Decapoda into the extra-large sieve, and then stuffed it into the arms of Oscar who was closest to him.

"Go wash it in the lake."

Oscar: "???"

Looking at Qin Ming with a pleading look, Qin Ming took the initiative to explain: "The claws of the Devil's Claw are very strong and difficult to destroy with conventional means."

Oscar understood after hearing this, and pulled Ma Hongjun to run to the Mirror Lake.

I didn't expect Gu You to have a strange habit of collecting soul beast materials. This experience will definitely be used for the next meeting. (Referring to building relationships)

Dugu Bo asked: "What should we do next, continue to track Zhanlong, or find another target."

If Gu You agrees, he can find the location of Zhanlong on the island in half a day. Unfortunately, with his understanding of Gu You, he knew that Gu You would definitely choose to refuse.

"Why find another target?"

Gu You didn't ask Dugu Bo to take action, but he grinned to an amazing arc and laughed: "It's not easy to meet a rare special individual, I'm not going to let it go."

"Bear for another three days, I'm also a soul master."
