Chapter 83 Lychee Crab
There are many extraordinary creatures in Dr. Niu's research institute.
But after all, it's a research institute, not a breeding house, and certainly not a place specifically for raising pets for transportation. In addition, there are many restrictions under the simple contract, so there aren't many options available to Yun Che.
According to Dr. Niu, he should first see which one he can get along with best; ability is secondary.
After all, "tool-type" pets used for transportation don't need to have any combat power, nor do they require any resources to train them.
As long as the simple contract is not broken, that is enough.
In fact, what Yun Che most wanted to contract was definitely a flying pet beast that could carry people.
However, to ride a flying pet, one needs to obtain a special riding qualification certificate; otherwise, it is considered "driving without a license."
Moreover, Dr. Niu doesn't have many pets that can fly and carry people, and none of them meet his contract conditions.
Therefore, this option had to be abandoned.
If we take a step back...
In his view, the best choice is undoubtedly the water-splitting spider.
I've ridden it before, and it can handle not only roads, but also complex terrains and even water surfaces with ease.
Moreover, the water spider can weave a spider silk tent, which can be used to guard the camp, making it a truly versatile creature.
The speed of the Water Splitter is a bit slower compared to other pets.
Its ability to weave tents and spider silk for defense is something that the Sky Spider can now do as well, and even better than the Water Spider.
Besides the Water Splitting Spider, Yun Che has two other options.
One of them is the sand-carrying camel that Dr. Niu rode before.
Its advantages are stability, adaptability to desert and arid environments, and the ability to produce milk with high nutritional value.
The other is a kind of extraordinary crab-like creature called the Lychee Crab.
Its shape is that of an oversized crab, completely red, as if it were cooked.
In the center of its carapace, there is a natural groove, which is perfect for riding.
Its eight slender legs are covered with tiny spikes. Although not as flexible as the legs of the water-splitting spider, they are strong and powerful, making it the fastest of the three extraordinary creatures.
Furthermore, on its two enormous pincers, in addition to the small sharp spikes, the hairy parts that were originally the ordinary crab have turned into clumps of vines that resemble plants.
It was covered with bright red fruits that looked very much like lychees.
It is precisely because of these lychee-like fruits that the crab got its name.
Kongkong had seen water-splitting spiders and sand-carrying camels before, but this was its first time seeing a lychee crab.
Before Yun Che could finish considering, the little guy had already run up to the lychee crab, staring at the lychee fruit on its claws, looking here and there.
The lychee crab looked on warily, its pincers trying to block the view, but it couldn't. It immediately let out an annoyed cry:
"Snap!" (What are you looking at? Watch out, or this crab will snap you in two with my giant pincers!)
Kongkong immediately perked up.
"Hoo!" (Okay! Come on, you try it! Give it a try!)
The lychee crab looked suspicious, wondering if Kongkong had some wicked plan to steal its lychees while it was pinching its limbs.
But Kongkong got excited.
"Hoo~" (Try it, try it. I won't move. If you pinch me and it hurts, I'll share some food with you. If you can't pinch me, then... give me a lychee! Oh, no, two!)
really!
Lychee Crab thought to himself.
But seeing Kong Kong's expression that seemed to say, "Hit me, hit me now!", Lychee Crab couldn't take it anymore!
He immediately raised the huge pincers and tried to clamp down on the empty space.
"Huh?" (You haven't eaten? Push harder!)
"Click!" (You asked for it!)
Originally, I wanted to show Kongkong how powerful the lychee crab was, but seeing how clueless it was about human relationships, I immediately stopped holding back and pinched it hard.
creak, creak...
The pincers and scales squeezed and rubbed against each other, producing an unpleasant friction sound.
The lychee crab gritted its teeth, its entire body taut, its two hind legs raised, yet it remained completely still, its expression serene.
"Roar~" (Where's the other pincer? Don't just stand there, come on, come on!)
Both pincers struck simultaneously!
Kong Kong remained unmoved.
"Ouch!" (Oh dear! This won't do either!)
Seeing that the other party was so big but had so little strength, it grabbed the two claws of the lychee crab with its empty claws and pried them open.
Lychee Crab: Σ(๑º㉨º๑)
It clapped its paws, jumped onto the pincers, and picked a lychee fruit from each.
"Hoo~" (It was a deal, you pinch me twice, I'll take two lychees.)
After saying that, it jumped down again and called out towards Yun Che.
"Roar!" (Iris, come quick! Come out and eat lychees!)
"Huh?"
The iris, who was catching up on sleep in the shadows, heard the noise, rubbed her eyes with her claws, and slowly poked her head out.
Iris's eyes lit up when she saw the lychee-like fruit.
While taking it and peeling it open, I asked:
"Huh?" (Where did you get this?)
Kongkong popped a lychee into its mouth, puffing out its cheeks, and pointed at the lychee crab that was staring at its claws and questioning its existence not far away.
But Kongkong was soon dumbfounded.
"Huh?" (Does this mean I have to peel it?)
Looking at the snow-white, glistening fruit that Iris was holding, Kongkong said, "Why does it taste a bit rough on the lips?"
"Waaah~"
The iris smiled and blinked twice, then took a bite of the fruit. Juice overflowed, carrying a unique fragrance that invigorated the iris, which had just woken up.
No!
I ate too fast and didn't really taste anything!
Kongkong immediately ran towards the lychee crab again.
Noticing its approach, the lychee crab instinctively took a few steps back in fright.
"Click?" (What...what are you trying to do now?)
...
[Name]: Lychee Crab
[Attributes]: Water, Wood
[Racial Rank]: High-level Transcendent
[Strength Level]: Late Stage of Mutation
[Racial Skills]: Water Lifting Pliers, Lychee Fragrance, Water Rinse
[Evaluation]: The lychee-shaped fruits growing on the claws of the Lychee Crab have a refreshing and invigorating effect, and their aroma attracts wild supernatural creatures. It is also an excellent mount, but compared to other mounts, it has a more volatile temper and requires careful riding.
Yun Che and Dr. Niu were still analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of each of the various transportation-type pets when they looked up and saw...
"Click! Click!"
Kongkong and the iris were each perched on one of the two claws of the lychee crab, which was holding them up, looking as if it was trying its best to cooperate.
Yun Che even saw a sense of "bearing humiliation and hardship" on the face of the lychee crab...
His expression turned somewhat strange.
"Kongkong! Iris!" Yun Che shouted.
"roar?"
"Huh?"
The two little guys immediately directed the lychee crabs to approach.
"Roar!" (Ache! Let's go with this one, it's so well-behaved!)
"Woo~" Iris nodded repeatedly.
Yun Che glared at Kong Kong with annoyance.
Do you think it's well-behaved?
You're clearly lusting after its body!
The lychee crab cooperated by lowering its pincers, allowing Kongkong and Iris to land, while it bent down.
"Crack!" (This humble general, Crab Three, is willing to go through fire and water for the Yun family!)
Yun Che: "..."
He unleashed the power of Tokiwa.
Surprisingly, I didn't sense any resistance from the lychee crab; all I felt was...
Fortune changes every thirty years, so don't underestimate a poor crab!
Those who understand the times are wise (Da Zuoyin)!
I, Crab Han San, will be back sooner or later!
This is a damn "imported" crab...
Isn't it said that lychee crabs have a rather irritable temperament?
How come this lychee crab... knows so much?
However, to be honest, Yun Che was quite tempted by the lychee fruit's invigorating effect on the lychee crab...
