Water and Earth. Area of snow crabs (1)
From that day on, the hunting system of winter and the pack of werewolves began to change little by little.
Whee Oh Oh-.
A savage winter wind blows.
Now we have clearly entered the winter season, facing this rough wind.
They ran wildly.
The footprints of their huge beasts were stamped on the white snow.
[Kong! Keong!]
[Kleur-!]
Even if the number is only two, much more ugly than when they were in the group of mother Yuhwarin.
Georeum and the eldest sister, Yui, were faithful to their roles.
They divided their roles and went hunting as a group.
Even if it was just the two of them, it was enough for each other to establish their respective roles.
Because they were werewolves of outstanding talent born side by side from the same ship as Yuhwarin, the leader who was an outstanding and special individual.
Georeum, who was much bigger, took the lead, followed by his sister, Yui.
From the moment they started hunting, they diligently looked around without stopping for an instant.
A hunter did not always stand in the position of the hunter.
Im going on a hunt.
It was the iron rule of these werewolves that they had to maintain a sharp appearance anytime, anywhere.
No one knew where the danger would come from suddenly and out of the blue.
Danger appears at a sudden moment that no one notices.
A sudden thing that cannot be dealt with, that is why it is called a risk.
Of course, the sense of winter was sharper than any other werewolves in the world.
He was a person who could sense even the magical power source that existed at a distance with a very agility, almost as close to precognitive.
But it wasn’t always perfect.
‘Especially because there was a case with Chameleon last time. There’s nothing wrong with always being careful.’
Continuous borders and borders.
But at the same time, it bounces like an arrow quickly and in a straight line.
It has been a long time since the dead trees in the forest froze and covered their bony bones.
They brushed past the bony giants, making to-do-du-du-du-du-du-doo footsteps.
[Kahah!]
Then, frightened by the sudden appearance of these large werewolves, several birds flapped their wings and took off into the sky.
Some of them were quite large, as if they were some kind of monster.
But, whether it was Winter or Yui, no one paid attention to them.
From their point of view, the bird was nothing more than a common tree-like background.
Werewolves with a voracious appetite, ability to be active, and endless energy consumption.
To them, those little birds were meager prey that could not even satisfy the appetite of one werewolf at most.
If you want to hunt, you can, but rather than that, it was better to find a big game.
Sniff. Sniff sniff.
Winter raised his head and sniffed it.
It was slowly getting closer.
Some strange body odor comes from the other side.
It’s in front of me.
The large magic power source they were chasing, it was right there.
‘It’s the first time I’ve smelled it. It’s a strange feeling.’
It’s a smell I’ve never encountered before.
Then it is clear that he is a completely unknown opponent.
I couldn’t figure out what kind of identity the other person would have this time, even as Winter.
‘Once the opponent is in danger, he backs down without hesitation. Rather than rushing at it unconditionally, I need to season it a little.’
This was not a battle to be fought.
It’s just hunting based on the most basic need for survival, just to fill the stomach.
He had no reason to fight if his opponent seemed even slightly intimidating and they were in danger of getting hurt.
In that case, it was better to step back and find another game, even if it took longer.
And soon, after passing through the frozen old tree forest, the point where winter finally arrived was an endlessly wide rice field.
‘This is…’
Shoot ah ah-.
Georeum and Yui looked around.
Despite the snowy midwinter, for some reason, grains of rice were visible here and there in golden rice fields.
Come to think of it, there has been a peculiar increase in the number of people facing this type of rice field recently.
That was the case with the muddy paddy fields we encountered not too long ago, and this time was one of those cases.
If you think about it, the southern region of Korea was also the largest breadbasket in Korea.
Dense dungeons with increased magic radius.
Perhaps these are by-products of the environment.
But right after that, it wasn’t long before they turned their attention to something that stood out in the middle of that field.
‘What, what is it? That.’
Winter revealed a rare embarrassment.
It wasn’t just that.
Even his sister, Yui, opened her eyes wide this time to reveal her emotions.
On the other side of the endlessly wide rice field, I could see something standing up and moving.
I was very conspicuous because it was unusually protruding.
It is so big that it reminds me of a ‘small garden’.
It was none other than a living being.
It can be seen that he is moving his eight legs and grabbing something from the wheat field with his large claws.
From noble mtl dot com
What is that?
It didn’t take long before the answer came.
Because Winter knew all too well about that.
At least, it was a creature with such a common appearance that no one knows about it.
‘That’s… Crab.’
A huge snow crab diligently roaming the wheat field, playing with its claws.
The only difference, however, is that they are so large that you would never have imagined them.
Its body is as huge as a decent house.
At least that would have been the best expression.
Besides, those snow crabs weren’t just one or two.
Across a very wide gap, I could see other snow crabs roaming about, albeit vaguely, in another area far away.
Judging from that, it seemed that this area was their main activity area.
How can snow crabs roam in a rice field without water?
There was no need to ask such questions. In the first place, among the many crabs in the world, there are also numerous individuals that roam on the ground, not in the water.
There was nothing strange about those things, too.
‘Wow… It’s amazing, right here?’
It’s a real board.
A cursory glance shows that there are four or five of them.
Even considering that this vast rice field continued endlessly, it was easy to predict that such gigantic objects would be scattered in abundance on the other side that could not be seen.
‘Shall we observe the situation lightly for now?’
Georeum looked at his sister, Yui.
With that brief glance from her, she nodded her head and started moving after her winter.
They started running towards him all at once.
Looking closer, I began to see what he was doing more clearly.
Looking at these guys now, they were picking up and eating grains of rice from this paddy field.
Anyway, the reason there are so many snow crabs here seems to be that this place is the perfect place for them to eat.
Honestly, crabs were originally a well-known omnivore.
The way he diligently put the grains of rice into his mouth with his big claws, he seemed to be focused only on eating.
Because of that, he didn’t even seem to notice Winter and Yui’s approach.
[Kirruru?]
It wasn’t until they were almost right in front of him that he seemed to notice.
Our eyes met.
But even in the midst of that, he didn’t show much reaction.
He diligently teased his claws.
I was putting the grains of rice into my mouth as they were.
Even though she was just looking at Winter and Yui through her eyes.
[…?]
Georeum and Yui revealed their doubts.
‘What kind of people are there?’
It was the first reaction in my life.
Are you indifferent, or are you not very wary? If not, is it dull?
The distance between them is no more than ten meters.
There is almost no distance like this between monsters that are several times more nimble than most wild animals.
Because of this, usually, if you come this close, everyone will react-.
This guy is not like that at all.
While tilting his head and wondering, Winter moved forward with a bruise.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s small, or maybe it’s because it doesn’t show much momentum.
Perhaps these were benign individuals.
However, that modesty did not last long.
The two werewolves, Winter and Yui, soon began to roam close to their surroundings.
Did they even notice that their gaze was that of a predator?
[Kiii-!]
Soon after, the guy started to change into a threat.
Kwaduk! Kwadeuk!
The claws of the large snow crab let out a terrifying sound, revealing a threat.
Kwadeuk, the sound of the claws closing is quite terrifying.
