Rifle charge in Ark, but without a mount

"This is a very dangerous creature. With your current level of technology, you are not able to fight against it. It is better for you to stay away from me, otherwise bad luck will find you... Don't take the initiative to contact this creature. They are so terrifying that you can't imagine..."

…………

The sky gradually began to be dyed golden. The golden morning sun broke through the clouds unnoticed and spread its scorching light to the earth. Everyone who had been busy all night fell asleep at this moment. Although Claude himself was not very tired, his companions did not sleep well the whole night, so their holiday plans had to be put on hold for the time being.

But Claude at this time did not take advantage of the rare free time to sleep. They learned a lot from Skadi yesterday, and those things also confirmed Claude's worries. He is now busy adjusting his future plans. He now has to take this terrible creature in the ocean into consideration.

This may seem a bit too worrying, but Claude understands the horror of this creature better than anyone else. In his opinion, the current Terra continent is like a person sleeping next to a crouching tiger, but the tiger has not woken up, so it has not been hurt. But after all, they cannot bet that the tiger will never wake up.

This world was more disastrous than Claude had expected. It could be called the end of the world. There were things everywhere that could destroy the world. It was beyond Claude's expectations that the world had not yet been destroyed. If he was not extremely lucky, there should be people who were patching things up and maintaining this dangerous situation.

In the house built with wooden boards and other simple materials, Claude was lying on the bed thinking quietly. Except for Hart who was put in solitary confinement yesterday, everyone else was resting in their rooms. They had just crossed the entire rainforest to reach this tribe yesterday, and because of the huge noise last night, they had not slept the whole night. Except for a few people who were too energetic, everyone was exhausted at this moment.

Claude, who thought he would not be disturbed, suddenly heard footsteps. The person who came had no intention of concealing his whereabouts and made the wooden ladder creak.

He didn't have to wait too long, as the simple wooden door was soon pushed open. The blonde female knight seemed to have anticipated that Claude would be aware of her arrival, and she found a place to sit down very naturally.

"Aren't you going to rest yet? You didn't sleep all night last night, did you?"

Claude couldn't help but smile.

"You too, right? I can even see the dark circles under your eyes."

Margaret subconsciously touched the corner of her eyes. In fact, Claude was lying. The girl's eyes were still white, without any dark circles. However, he still found the other party's subconscious reaction very interesting, as if the heroic and invincible Knight of Glory also had such a lovely side, which made him laugh out loud.

Margaret's face flushed a little. When she was getting along with Claude, she always seemed to be the weaker one. From time to time, she would be thrown into disarray by a few words from the other party. This was completely different from her usual self.

"I know you must have a new plan. You always have your own ideas. Although I know you are the best in this regard, you should not keep those things in your heart. You can also talk to us."

"Of course, as long as it is necessary, I will definitely tell you. You don't have to worry too much. I am not such a stubborn person."

Claude stood up, but found that there was nothing in his room to entertain others. After all, he didn't even clean the room properly. But then he felt relieved. After all, it was Margaret who came, not an outsider, so he didn't need to feel embarrassed about it.

But then he suddenly realized that everyone seemed to have not eaten for a long time, and Hart was so hungry that he almost did something stupid. Maybe he should take advantage of this time when everyone was resting to get some food, so as to save himself the rush after waking up.

Thinking of this, Claude stopped worrying about his plan and decided to go out and buy some food.

"Margaret, let's go out and buy some food. Everyone must be starving. We rested too hastily yesterday and we are not well prepared. I heard that the special food here is very famous in the whole Sargon. Maybe we can try it."

"You're right, we really should restock some supplies... Maybe traveling here is not a good idea, we haven't been able to relax at all these days..."

"There's no need to overthink it. This is the location we decided on together... Besides, our vacation has just begun."

…………

The two men left the house while talking. Because it was too simple, there was no important luggage here. Even the wooden door was simply fastened with a wooden bolt. However, the people here were accustomed to such simple living conditions. There were even very few thefts here. The customs of the people were so simple that it was unbelievable.

While chatting, they came to the local market, where the custom of bartering was still maintained. The local Sargon coins they carried were difficult to spend here. According to the locals, only Inam's tribe would accept such things, and other tribes would exchange them with supplies if necessary.

After all, they were here for tourism, so they naturally wouldn't bring too many supplies with them. The two of them realized that they knew nothing about this place. The idea of ​​traveling here seemed a bit too impulsive, so in order to have something to eat, they temporarily changed their plans. The rainforest here has a lot of animal and plant resources, and Claude is very good at hunting...

Of course, this kind of thing still needs to be discussed with the locals in advance, otherwise unnecessary conflicts may arise, so Claude found Zumama, who was repairing Dachou in the warehouse, and proposed their idea of ​​hunting in the surrounding area.

…………

"Of course, no problem. We don't actually lack food right now. Just tell me and I can get you a lot. There's actually no need to go out hunting."

But he

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 209 Vacation

After making all the preparations, Claude carried his javelin on his back and planned to go to the surrounding jungle to get some food. The animal and plant resources here are quite rich and should be easy to find.

Margaret also packed her equipment. As a knight, she actually knew some javelin techniques, but she didn't use them very often. The prey in the rainforest were all quite large, so using javelins was just right for hunting. After the two of them packed up, they walked together out of the tribe's gate.

The temperature in the rain forest dropped in the early morning, dew condensed on the leaves, and the chirping of insects was endless. The traces left last night were still clearly visible. Large tracts of trees were broken by the huge mountain of flesh. The white wood stumps and exposed soil formed a wide road that extended all the way to the sea.

"I don't think there will be any prey here. Any creature with a little bit of brains should have escaped from this area last night... Let's go further and explore deeper into the rain forest."

Margaret naturally had no objection. Between the two of them, the one who really had the skills to survive in the jungle was Claude. Thanks to the colonel, he had already mastered most of the skills of the ranger corps. Although he was not yet like a fish in water in the jungle, most of the problems would not bother him.

The two men crossed this strange road and kept shuttling through the rainforest. Claude would occasionally use the dagger in his hand to mark the tree trunks next to him. Otherwise, people who were not familiar with the local terrain would easily get lost in this dense rainforest. Although they had reliable means of communication, if they really got lost, it would not only be embarrassing but would also cause a lot of trouble.

Occasionally swinging his sword to cut off the fast-growing vines to clear a path for himself, Claude carefully observed the surrounding land, looking for footprints and traces of prey. It was easy to leave deep footprints on the soft roads in the rainforest, and they would remain for many days until they were covered by other footprints.

The beheading sword can not only easily cut off heads, but it is also very useful for chopping vines and bushes that block the way. Relying on the sharp sword in Claude's hand, they shuttled through the rainforest at a very fast speed. Even the locals might not be able to catch up with them. It seems that the noise made last night was indeed a bit too loud. They have been walking for so long, but have not encountered any traces of wild beasts. I wonder where the prey have been driven to.

…………

There were two deep hoof prints on the moist brown soil, which obviously belonged to an even-toed ungulate animal, but they were too large. Each one was more than 20 centimeters in diameter, which meant that the animal was huge.

After traveling through the rainforest for two hours, Claude squatted down and looked at the rare traces. Their luck was pretty good as they encountered a big guy so quickly. Judging from the freshness of the surrounding soil, this big guy should have just left not long ago.

Although the dense vegetation in the rainforest could easily obscure traces, the weight of this big guy was so great that it was easy for Claude to find enough information. The two of them chased after it based on the intermittent footprints and broken branches around it. This big guy had no intention of hiding himself. From time to time, Claude could find plants that had been eaten by it, and the cross-sections were getting fresher and fresher, which meant that they were very close.

The pursuit lasted for about 10 minutes. They keenly heard the sounds of branches being broken and grass being crushed in front of them. Judging from the sound, the distance between them and the prey would not exceed 50 meters. The two men stopped tacitly. If they continued to get closer, they might be exposed.

Claude and Margaret looked at each other, and the two of them flanked from the left and right directions respectively, half-crouching and carefully pushing aside the grass leaves without making too much noise. They were now downwind, so they didn't have to worry too much about their scent alerting the prey, and the numerous trees in the rainforest also provided them with enough cover.

Claude pulled out his javelin from his gun bag, the sharp tip of the spear flashing with cold light. Because of the trees, he had no way to determine the location of the prey for the time being, so he could only get closer. Although he was wearing boots, he strangely did not leave deep footprints on the ground, and the sound he made was even more inaudible, just like a breeze passing through the grass leaves.

When brown fur appeared in his field of vision, Claude slowly stopped, his body tensed like a strong bow, and the tip of the javelin aimed at the huge body of La. After three seconds, the javelin would pierce through the flesh and kill the strong beast.

…………

It should be like this.

The peculiar fishy smell of carnivorous beasts came from the grass nearby. A huge figure suddenly jumped onto the beast. Its sharp claws pierced through the fur and dug into the flesh, fixing it on the other's body. Its big mouth full of sharp teeth also began to bite it frantically.

Blood spilled on the green leaves, and the beast's terrified roars and growls resounded throughout the forest. This strong beast and Claude were eyeing the same prey, and they got there first. The two behemoths struggled desperately, and the bowl-thick tree trunks were easily broken by them. The forest suddenly became lively.

Claude stood up somewhat helplessly and weighed the javelin in his hand. His original target was just the herbivorous beast, but he didn't expect there would be a buy-one-get-one-free promotion here.

…………

He skillfully peeled off the fur and cut the large pieces of meat. It didn't take long for Claude to deal with his prey. Then he summoned the black horse again and tied the two large pieces of meat to its back. Although it consumed its own physical strength, the weight was still not a problem.

Margaret next to her also wiped the blood off her hands. She was still a little unskilled in handling the prey, so it took her a little longer.

The two men began to slowly walk back the way they came. Although there was bloody animal meat around them, Claude inexplicably felt like he was on vacation. There was nothing particularly urgent. He cooperated with his companions to hunt a prey, bringing back the prey's fur and flesh, returning home with a full load and feeling very comfortable.

Although neither of them spoke, there was a faint smile on their lips.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After returning to the tribe, they handed the prey over to a special person to handle. The other party only needed a part of the prey as a reward, and all the meat and fur would be processed for them. People like this even formed a special profession in the Akahura area, but with the development of technology here, this profession may gradually disappear in the next few years.

The people who were resting also began to wake up gradually. The first one to wake up was Ceobe. This child had great energy, so the moment he smelled the aroma of meat, he was the first to climb out of bed. Ceobe, who had not even taken off her clothes when she slept, hurriedly opened the door and jumped down from the second floor without any intention of taking the stairs.

As Ceobe exerted her strength, her thighs, which had become quite round due to adequate nutrition in recent years, were tightly wrapped in black and yellow stockings, showing a very obvious sense of flesh being tightened. Although she had an outstanding figure, the Pelo girl had a very simple personality. She rushed to Claude's side at an extremely fast speed.

A large piece of liver was being fried in a black cast iron pan, emitting a peculiar aroma. This unique smell soon attracted Hart's attention. He rushed out of the room and came to Ceobe's side. The two of them squatted beside the frying pan, staring at the food in the pan and swallowing their saliva.

Hart looked quite impatient, and Claude certainly knew the reason. This guy really liked to eat liver. Every time after catching prey, the first thing he would eat was the liver, and he had an extraordinary preference for the liver of the Behemoth.

But no matter how impatient she was, Claude would not allow her to grab it with her hands, so Hart could only wait obediently by the side like Ceobe, watching the liver change color rapidly. Claude also picked up two small bottles from the side and sprinkled the pepper and salt in them on the liver. It was difficult to find onions and ginger here, but there was a local plant that was used by everyone to remove the fishy smell of meat, which tasted fragrant and spicy.

The aroma became stronger and stronger, and Hart began to get agitated, looking at Claude cautiously from time to time. Seeing that Claude did not clearly stop her, Keobe, who was standing next to them, also began to get restless. Before they could do anything themselves, Claude reached out and took the liver out of the pot. It was almost done now, and it would be overcooked in a while.

The smoke from frying and grilling rises to the roof, and with the chirping of birds, the temperature here has reached its highest point of the day.

………………

"Swimming? Just playing in the water?"

Claude, who was only wearing a white shirt and black trousers, looked at Gavial in front of him with some confusion.

"Yes, Mr. Claude, do you remember the big waterfall? It's very hot today, let's go there and have some fun."

"That's no problem, but I won't go..."

Gavial was surprised to find that Claude was actually looking embarrassed at this moment, and even seemed to be retreating. She couldn't help but have a guess:

"Mr. Claude, can't you swim?......"

Claude's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself:

"I am indeed not familiar with underwater combat environments. Mainly because there is no need for this, so I will not go with you."

~(￣￣～)…………, the corners of Gavial's mouth slowly curled up. She felt it was quite interesting that Mr. Claude, who in her impression was omnipotent, could not swim and even showed such an embarrassed expression in front of her.

"It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Claude, don't be afraid, I can teach you! I didn't know how to do it before, but Zumama taught me in two days. You are so smart, maybe you can learn it in no time!!"

Gavial reached out and grabbed Claude's arm, pulling it nonchalantly with a warm smile on his face, but Claude always felt that the smile had some ill intentions, but it was difficult to refuse now, and they pulled all the way to the open space outside, and Claude found that everyone had changed into swimsuits and were waiting for him.

The young and beautiful girls were wearing thin swimsuits, revealing their beautiful body curves. Even Ceobe and Hart were wearing cool clothes. This gorgeous and impactful scene made Claude stunned for a moment, and then he was surrounded by the crowd.

"Why are you still wearing such thick clothes? Didn't you buy a swimsuit? We are going to the water this time, aren't you afraid of getting your clothes wet?"

Xinteleya reached out and tugged at his shirt, then with an expression that showed she had expected something, she took out a pair of swimming trunks from her bag and stuffed them into his hand.

"Actually, I don't think there's any need to be so anxious. We've only been here for a day..."

Claude wanted to save the situation, but was pushed into the house by Sintrea without any explanation.

…………

The water of the waterfall slammed heavily into the pool from a height of hundreds of meters, splashing water all over the sky. The mist floating in the air also made the temperature here significantly lower. The girls were playing in the water, while Claude stood on the shore with a hesitant look on his face.

The pool of water in front of him was not very deep, with the deepest part only about 10 meters. But for Claude, it was still a huge challenge. He had spent most of his life fighting in the sky and had never been in the water. He knew nothing about swimming and had no idea how to float in the water.

After letting out a long breath, Claude began to unbutton his shirt, revealing his solid chest. After all, he was a genius. Even if he couldn't go to deep water for the time being, it shouldn't be a problem if he stayed in shallow water for a while. Maybe, as Gabriel said, he could do it after practicing for a while.

Claude made up his mind and carefully stepped into the water. He walked in the water at a relatively slow pace until the water reached his chest. He stopped and began to try to float himself up.

To be honest, it was not easy. Every time Claude tried to float up, his body would always sink. After several times, he simply let himself sink to the bottom of the water. Then he opened his eyes underwater and walked underwater with his strong lung capacity, watching the small fish in the water swimming past him. This experience was quite novel and interesting for him.

Claude couldn't help but stretch out his hand to try to catch those little fish. This was of course easy for him. Even with the resistance of the water, it didn't affect him too much. Watching those little fish struggling between his fingers, although there was a thin layer of mucus on their bodies, Claude deftly controlled the direction of his force so that it could not break free.

The water of suitable temperature touching his skin made Claude feel a new sense of relaxation. Even the sunlight shining through the water became loose underwater, like a thin layer of golden sand that could be touched with the hand.

…………

The vacation has officially begun.

Casimir's New Chapter: Chapter 210: The Strange Duck

It turned out that Claude was indeed a genius. Although he was a little confused at the beginning, he soon found some feeling. Water was much heavier than air, so it took more skills to move underwater. Relying on his strong lung capacity, Claude began to try slowly 10 meters underwater.

As his arms gently pushed aside the water, he began to move forward underwater at an extremely slow speed. As if by instinct, he quickly adapted to the underwater environment and soon was able to swim slowly. Fifteen minutes later, Claude had to go up to take a breath.

When he emerged from the water, he suddenly found that everyone was quietly looking at the water where he was, with a curious expression on everyone's face.

Seeing that he could actually swim out of the water by himself, even though he had said that before, Gavial was still very shocked.

"Mr. Claude, have you really learned it? I was about to go down and get you!! It's only been ten minutes, right?... You are simply a monster!!"

Claude was speechless for a moment. Gavial's words exposed the fact that the other party definitely wanted to laugh at him. She probably wanted to see him in such a miserable state after being choked by water and then laugh at him. Otherwise, he would not have shown such an expression of shock and disappointment.

Claude's hair was soaked with water and stuck tightly to his head. A few strands of hair blocked his vision. He reached out and pushed the hair behind his head, wiping off some of the water in the process.

The sunlight penetrated the mist of the waterfall, turning the entire pool of water into a golden color. Claude complained to Gavial for a few words, and after receiving a burst of silly laughter from the other party, he did not care too much and turned around and dived into the water again.

Claude, who was becoming more and more skilled at swimming underwater, suddenly noticed a shadow flashing over his head. He looked up and found that it was Keobe who swam over his head. The girl's powerful limbs were paddling desperately. She didn't look like she could swim at all. She was just relying on the recoil force of splashing water to keep herself afloat.

Of course, the noise made by swimming like this was terrifying, with water splashing everywhere. The surrounding fish were frightened by the huge noise and ran around in panic. But Ceobe was not swimming aimlessly, for Claude clearly saw a small black shadow running away in front of her.

"Is that... a duck?!"

The bird with white feathers looked so familiar that Claude soon realized that it seemed to be a duck. Its two red feet were paddling very fast in the water. Ceobe could not catch up with it at all, but she had no intention of giving up. She stretched out her hand desperately, trying to grab the duck's tail.

But the child seemed to have forgotten that she was still in the water, and she moved so violently that Ceobe sank all of a sudden. She became obviously flustered, and forgot how to swim, and sank faster and faster. Claude swam over quickly, stretched out an arm, and hugged Ceobe's waist. The girl's waist was tight and elastic, and the moment Claude hugged her, she calmed down and hugged his arm tightly.

A few seconds later, Claude and Ceobe rushed out of the water together, gasping for breath. Claude held the girl in one hand and paddled towards the shore with the other hand. But what he didn't know was that Ceobe had not actually lost her ability to move. But at this moment, she didn't make a sound at all, but just held his arm firmly.

After approaching the shore, the two climbed directly onto the shore. Claude was born with a good-looking appearance. Water droplets slowly flowed down along his angular muscle texture. In the sun, he looked like a white jade sculpture, which immediately attracted the attention of most people. The girls looked surprised and stared at him from time to time.

But Claude didn't care about anything else for the time being. He thought Ceobe had drowned and fainted. He was about to give her first aid, but suddenly he found that she was still holding his arm tightly, and he also felt something very elastic squeezing his arm. Claude's face froze, and he turned around, only to find that Ceobe was staring at him blankly.

The big eyes like red crystals stared blankly at his face, looking a little dull. Claude reached out and pulled Ceobe's big ears. The fur on the ears became wet, but still very soft and elastic, which made Ceobe come back to her senses.

Although he let go of Claude's arm, Xiao Ke suddenly became anxious and pointed at the duck in the middle of the lake. This duck was indeed very brave and had no intention of escaping until now, which successfully aroused Claude's interest.

Although I don't know why Ceobe is so anxious, since she wants the duck, I can just go and catch it for her.

……

Having made up his mind, Claude jumped into the lake with a sprint, and only a small splash of water was made, which once again demonstrated his talent for swimming. After determining the position of the duck underwater, Claude began to swim quickly, and the water flow under the pool began to become chaotic because of his movements.

This was the first time Claude had seen a duck in this world, and this duck seemed a little different. To be precise, it was a little too small. A normal duck would weigh at least a few kilograms, but this duck had fully grown feathers, but its body was extremely small, and it looked like it weighed only one kilogram at most.

Perhaps because of this reason, the duck was extremely fast and alert. It turned around and started swimming as soon as Claude approached it. Seeing that the duck was about to escape, Claude also increased his swimming speed and quickly approached the little duck.

While swimming, Claude learned how to retract his hands and feet without any instruction, minimizing his resistance in the water and approaching the target at an extremely fast speed.

The duck was startled by his sudden acceleration and made a nearly 180-degree turn, trying to escape from behind him, but Claude stopped in time and followed it slowly. In this way, the duck was chased by him and swam around in the pool, but he always kept a distance of about two meters. It looked like he was being fooled by the duck.

Even the people on the shore thought so. Yelena was about to freeze the entire water surface to help Claude, but Margaret stopped her in time. After all, Claude was still underwater. If the water surface was frozen, Claude would be trapped underneath.
