A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 103 Rock Crab

When the thing hiding under the stone fully revealed its true form, Leon took a deep breath.

"What a huge hermit crab."

Yes, there was a crab hiding under the stone, but it was different from the crabs Leon knew. The back shell of this crab was made of solid rock, and its entire body was orange-red. Its body shape was consistent with the stone behind it. The stone was about half a meter in diameter, so this crab was also half a meter wide.

While Leon was complaining, the rock crab was not idle. I don't know if it was out of instinct to protect its territory or because it was annoyed by being hit by Leon's pickaxe.

The eyes exposed under the rock shell discovered Leon, an outsider who obviously did not belong to the mine ecosystem. It pointed at the rock crab and rushed towards Leon directly with its rock shell.

The speed was astonishing, and it was walking in a straight line, which was completely inconsistent with the racial habit of crabs that could only walk sideways. Leon looked sideways and avoided the charge of the rock crab.

After avoiding the charge of the rock crab, Leon would not stand there foolishly waiting for the rock crab to launch a second round of attack. He bent down, put the machete in his hand close to the ground, and then made a standard one-handed slash, with the blade directly attacking the rock crab's abdomen supported by eight limbs.

The rock crab saw Leon's action, and its instinctive sense of crisis made it make a choice in an instant. The rock crab retracted its limbs and body under the stone of its back shell.

The rock shell, having lost its support, fell directly and returned to its previous stone camouflage form, which was exactly the same as the surrounding stones.

Lyon, who had already drawn his knife, could only watch as his machete hit the back shell of the rock. Under the recoil force, Lyon frowned and put away the knife. At the same time, he took a small step back and looked at the intact rock crab that had just been hit by the silver machete on the back shell of the stone.

"The ability to shrink and become invincible has also become a reality."

Although he called this rock crab a hermit crab before, Leon still knew its information. After all, it was a frequent visitor to the mine. Leon had killed countless rock crabs, these common monsters. He still remembered the crabs he used for sacrifice, which were dropped by the rock crabs he killed when he went down to the mine.

This rock crab is actually not very conspicuous in the game. After all, as long as it emerges from its rocky shell, it can be killed in one hit. However, in camouflage mode, except for pickaxes and bombs, the damage that powerful weapons can cause to the camouflaged rock crab is basically zero.

If you take out a pickaxe and hit it at this time, it will take the opportunity to sneak attack you. This is the standard behavior of Lao Liu, and its main purpose is to disgust you.

If Lyon had a bomb, he could blow up its rocky shell and deprive it of its greatest support. But now the only thing Lyon could use to destroy its back shell was a pickaxe. If he got close, he would be ambushed. Lyon was in a dilemma.

But in just a moment, Lyon came up with a solution.

Although the rock crab is invincible when it shrinks its shell, Lyon does not believe it is really invincible. Since the other party does not abide by the ethics of martial arts, Lyon does not intend to be polite to it.

Under Lyon's consciousness, the Galaxy Watermelon Knife in Lyon's hand expanded rapidly, but it did not become the four-meter door panel style like last time. Instead, Lyon stopped expanding after extending to a length of two meters.

But at this moment, the Galaxy Watermelon Knife has turned into half a door panel that is two meters long and forty centimeters wide. Although this weight is a bit difficult to hold, it is still within Lyon's tolerance.

"Brother, have you ever heard of a powerful brick flying?"

Leon, wielding both the Galaxy Watermelon and Half Door Panel Knives, leaped forward, using the momentum of his forward charge to spin his body before approaching the rock crab, simultaneously moving the watermelon knives in a graceful arc before striking the camouflaged rock crab's carapace. "Bang!"

The weight of the Galaxy Watermelon Knife at this moment, combined with inertia and Leon's strength, directly knocked the rock crab away. The whole rock crab rolled like a kicked ball and flew a distance of five meters, finally hitting another rock, with its limbs facing upwards, as helpless as a turned-over turtle.

At this moment, Leon also retracted the Galaxy Watermelon Knife to its permanent form, rubbed his numb hands, and then looked at the rock crab that was already lying on its back, and rushed forward to cut it with the knife.

The sharp blade directly cut open the belly of the rock crab, which was now exposed, and splashed a gray-red liquid similar to blood. Fortunately, the angle of the spray was not in the same direction as Leon, so Leon didn't have to dodge.

This knife obviously deprived the rock crab of all its vitality. The body of the rock crab began to stiffen in Lyon's sight, the rock back shell directly broke off and decomposed and was absorbed by the underground rock layer, and the crab body began to weather.

Finally, the huge rock crab disappeared from Leon's sight, and a crab the size of a plate was left in its place.

"Crab (fish): A marine crustacean with two strong claws."

"?"

Looking at this introduction, Leon was confused. Although this thing is indeed a crab, isn't it dropped by rock crabs? How can it be a marine creature? Are the system's labels all template routines?

Or is it that there is a sea in the mine, but this sea is the Mongolian Sea and cannot be seen by non-locals?
He had a lot of complaints in his mind, but he thought the system wouldn't respond if he told it to them, so Leon put the crab into the system backpack and continued to knock on the stones.

"Boom"

With a dull thud, another stone was broken, but unlike the previous ones, Leon saw that after this stone disappeared, a pit leading to the second underground floor was exposed before his eyes.

There was still a ladder, but Leon was already used to this unscientific scene, so after making sure that the ladder was sturdy, Leon climbed down directly.

When he reached the second underground floor, Lyon discovered that the terrain here was different again. If the first underground floor was a wide and flat football field, then the second underground floor was a winding maze.

The main theme of this floor is the corridors that lead to all directions and are less than two meters wide. Faced with the corridors that extend in all directions, Leon hesitated for a moment and chose the one on the far left.

The ground was still covered with stones of the same color. Leon had long been accustomed to this, so he basically knocked on each one he saw. Although only stones fell, he would not be able to find the hole leading to the third underground floor without knocking on them.

"Puff, puff, puff."

After knocking a few stones, Lyon heard a strange sound in his ears, a bit like the sound made by someone pulling their feet out of the mud in a swamp.
