HNA in late summer.

The blue sea water, warm sunshine.

If it weren't for the group of strangers around who were on guard against each other, Donald thought he would be in a good mood.

If the sailor and the captain who were originally brought with the ship were included, there would be 5 groups of people on the entire deck, each occupying a location. The atmosphere on the sailor was the most normal. After all, this was a normal trip to sea for them, just carrying a group of strange-looking guests.

On the other hand, these strange disciples knew it well. At this time before the rainstorm week, they almost went to Moss Island for the steel-clawed moles. In other words, the ones who were sitting here were likely to be the next competitors, so the atmosphere was naturally not much better.

"The daily habits, fighting styles of steel-clawed moles..."

Push your sunglasses onto your forehead and look at your notes carefully.

Anthony's full preparation was not just some props. Not long after he went to sea, he took a note and handed it to Donald, which clearly recorded some information about the strange beast like the Steel Clawed Mole.

"It says that the steel-clawed mole has a very strong hearing. They will notice it if they are a little squirting on the ground. They will only eat certain specific plant stems on the moss island... When it comes out to breathe, they will only stay outside for less than 5 seconds. What are you planning to catch it?"

Donald thought that this kind of strange beast was not much different from a groundhog, and what he thought of was using food as a trap or ambush beside him. Now it seems that ordinary methods should not work.

"Catching the steel-claw mole can only take action within five seconds of its probe, pursuing a one-hit kill. After climbing the island, we must first find the air-claw mole's breathable hole, and then squat around and bet on the reaction time for those few seconds... This is also the reason why steel-claw mole is extremely rare in the market. The opportunity every year is these days. Many times, if you wait for a few hours, you may find nothing."

Simply put, if you don’t have special means to capture this kind of strange beast, you can only rely on enough patience.

"In 5 seconds, you will be noticed as soon as you get close. How can you kill with one blow?"

Donald asked while wondering if he had any means to help Anthony catch the steel clawed mole.

"I will squat on the tree and then rely on your perception to judge the time when the steel-clawed mole appears. I think if I cooperate well, there will be a great chance."

This is what Anthony thought of. Of course, he invited Donald for a reason. Catching the steel-clawed mole is a technical job.

"Maybe I will have some methods then."

"What?"

"Stop it for now. You will know after you board the island. This time I go out to sea with you, I don't plan to go back empty-handed. By the way, when it comes to the question of whether to be empty-handed, are there no other resources on Moss Island? Only the steel-clawed mole?"

There is no single creature in the entire island that is the steel clawed mole.

"The other things are not only herbs, but also tree fruits, which are wild animals on moss islands...These things are of average value. If there are more, people may buy them at a high price, but if they are only a small amount, it is difficult to sell them at a good price. After all, they are just a low-intensity island."

"You have some reason to say that."

Donald leaned against the side of the ship and was not disappointed. This time he went out to sea was just a test of the water, and he was more to help.

As the sailing time passed, I got tired of the sea water, and the structure of the lifeboat on the side of the ship was analyzed back and forth twice. After the initial freshness passed, all Donald could do seemed to be dazed.

Beep ~ Beep ~

Just as he was thinking about finding something to do, a few short and loud whistles came, and the people on the deck looked back in the direction of the sound.

"Big ship!"

Donald only heard Anthony mutter, looked up and saw a giant steel ship, at least three times larger than the one they were riding on.

The position of the opponent's ship was only a few hundred meters away from them, and it was extremely fast, and it crossed from behind.

Donald clearly saw many people standing on the deck, all of which were fully armed, and there were even a few eye-catching strange beasts, a white kangaroo, a bird with colorful feathers on its head...or chickens.

Donald didn't read it all.

"Look at their ship logo, Lenny Machinery, I think this should be the team exploring unknown islands. It is one of the most powerful companies in Demingham. Even the rainstorm week cannot stop them from moving forward."

The Leni Machinery logo is very easy to recognize. A large gear with the name of Leni Machinery printed in the middle. If they choose to go to sea at this time, they will definitely hit the storm under the dark clouds in the distance. However, for a large ship of this level, the impact of the storm is very limited.

On the other hand, they went in the storm to help them solve some of their competitors with the help of this natural disaster.

The appearance of the Lennie Mechanical Ship was a surprise to the boring sailing, and the people on the deck had been discussing these things for a while.

The sky gradually darkened with this kind of discussion. After half a day of navigation, the dark clouds in the sky were still in the sky, and the distance seemed to be unchanged.

The afterglow of the sunset dyed the sea water orange red, and the faces of the people on the deck were full of red light, and the moon could be vaguely seen in the sky.

After this time, the sky will darken at an extremely fast speed.

At this time, the captain came out of the cabin and knocked on the platform on one side, shook some of the ash inside, then coughed twice, attracting everyone's eyes.

"I will arrive in half an hour. According to the agreement, from the beginning of your departure, I will wait 36 ​​hours next to Moss Island, which is 12 noon the day after tomorrow, and set off for a return flight. This time will not be changed by anyone. If you are not on time, don't blame me for abandoning you. I will remind you first, it will be the rainstorm week soon. At that time, Moss Island will experience a rainstorm that lasts for the shortest and three days. If you think you can withstand it, I won't stop it."

There are only a few days left before the rainy week. Leni's large ship was not afraid of storms before, but it does not mean that the ship is not afraid of either. It is already an adventure to go to sea before the rainy week. It is absolutely impossible to let him experience the storm.

No one objected to the captain's request, and the captain had only one request. After saying that, he returned to the cabin to take the helm, and the sailors also returned to their posts to prepare for the docking work.

When they learned that they were about to arrive at their destination, someone had some thoughts, and the other two-team began to move closer to Donald and Anthony.

An old man wearing sunglasses, a bald man with dark arms.

"Did you go to Moss Island this time for the Steel Clawed Mole?"

The person who spoke was the old man, and he was in front of him, and he dominated the two teams.

"Aren't you? If you have anything to say, just say it."

Donald turned his head and put down his sunglasses again. The two of them chose to come over to say hello at this time, which must be of purpose.

"Cooperation, this is what I want to say to you. I think you should also see two teams over there, one with three people and the other with seven people. There may be novices in the latter team, but since they dare to bring newbies to the island, those veterans will definitely have confidence in their strength. As far as I know, we will not only land on the island during the same period. There will definitely be a battle on Moss Island. You two and we two are likely to be suppressed. It is better for us to join forces, and the staff are the same. I think the strength of the two is not weaker than us. If we get something and divide it equally, what are the conditions?"

The old man was a little hunched and always bent down and raised his head when talking. This is to seek team formation.

Donald did not respond, but looked at Anthony. This time he was here to help. Anthony was the captain. The old man had a good ability to observe words and expressions. As soon as Donald took a glance, his body turned to Anthony without any trace.

"Not interested, we don't need help."

Anthony refused very simply, and the two of them didn't say much, and turned to the team of three people on the other side. The way of communication was probably the same.

"They are so anxious to find a team to join, afraid that they will not be able to catch the Steel Clawed Mole or they feel that they are not capable enough and will be robbed on the island?"

The eyes under the sunglasses swept across the two of them one by one, and Donald came up with the answer, and neither of the assumptions were correct.

"This type of people are not ready to catch the steel-clawed mole themselves. They only do one thing, killing people and robbing... They can start changing clothes. There is no lighting after landing on the island, so they have to debug some equipment first."

Anthony opened his backpack and took out a head-mounted lighting lamp from it. The core lighting device was about one finger long, with mechanical belts on both sides and cloth belts at the end.

"I have installed Whale Oil Energy in advance. After putting it on, use the gears on both sides to adjust the spacing to ensure that it fits with both sides of my forehead. Finally, tie a cloth strip and the switch is on the right side, so you should be able to touch it."

Donald actually didn't need night lighting, but he didn't refuse, and took the searchlight as he did.

The light emitted by the whale oil searchlight is pale blue and will not attract the attention of wild animals at night.

The two men did not lose their grief again in the three-person team, but successfully joined after a brief discussion. Then those people began to look at Donald and Anthony from time to time.

"It seems that I have ideas for us..."

2+3 is 5 people, and here are 2 people. In their opinion, the strength balance is obviously they have the advantage.

"On these islands, when you refuse to hurt others, people often look at you, and it depends on whether you are ready."

Anthony took out two short knives from his backpack, inserted them into the skin sheath between the waist, turned his head to look at Donald, and soon smiled.
Chapter completed!
