Chapter 372 Roasted Crab Claws, So Delicious!
"Old Crab Hair, I have an irreconcilable hatred for you! Today, it's either you or me! I'll slaughter your whole family, your entire clan, you..."
Uh?
"What's going on, Grandpa Turtle? Aren't you childhood friends?" Wenwen asked, patting the turtle's back.
The old tortoise gritted its teeth and said, "I only have hatred for it, no friendship. Today I will kill it to vent my anger."
"Why? Really? Explain your reasoning in three sentences." Wenwen asked again, seizing the opportunity.
"Back then, it stole my resources when I wasn't looking, ambushed me from behind, injured me, and killed my whole family, roar—"
Sure enough, he explained the reason clearly in three sentences; Grandpa Turtle's summarizing ability has improved.
"Really?" Wenwen was shocked and happy, thinking that the high-end ingredients were finally secured.
"It's absolutely true, Master. I will kill it today. It's either it or me..."
The old tortoise's anger was transmitted to Wenwen and the others through its shell. It seemed as if the anger had been ignited, and the soles of their feet felt inexplicably hot.
Wenwen quickly reassured him, "Uncle Turtle, you don't need to do anything. Just proceed according to the plan. If things really don't work out, then you can take action. Perhaps I can help you get revenge. Do you like this arrangement?"
Wen Qiyuan nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa Turtle, don't be in a hurry. Let me meet this crab demon first. Can you give me some pointers from the side?"
Wen Chengjian and Wen Chengbin eagerly took on the task, saying, "Let's go deal with the shrimp demon."
The grandmaster and Ye Jingchuan, master and disciple, were not to be outdone, saying, "Leave one shrimp demon for us."
While they were arranging tactics here, the monsters over there were still laughing heartily.
In the eyes of the crab demon, the people in front of it were nothing more than shrimp. There were six cultivators, four of whom were at the fourth level of Qi Refining and two at the third level of Qi Refining. Their cultivation level was only the same as that of the shrimp demon. Besides, it had many helpers behind it. Killing these people and taking back the resources would be a matter of minutes. It was not worth mentioning.
The old tortoise is at the mid-stage of the sixth level, while this one is at the late stage of the sixth level. Although they are at the same level, their strengths are quite different. If they were to fight, the old tortoise would have a better chance of winning.
It must be said that Crab Demon's confidence is something everyone should learn from.
At this moment, it was unaware of the consequences its arrogance would bring to itself and its subordinates.
After this analysis, the crab demon became smug and spoke with a strong sense of sarcasm.
"You little bastard, this day next year will be your death anniversary. Take this!"
In the blink of an eye, several water jets shot towards the people on the turtle's back.
"You old crab, you blind crab, today we'll raid your lair and teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
The old turtle led the group to quickly dodge the water arrows, then turned back and shouted, "Second Uncle, use your Dark Ice Fire to burn its broken pincers! You guys do the same, use Dark Ice Fire to burn the shrimp's head! Hurry up, let's finish this quickly!"
To everyone's surprise, Grandpa Turtle actually provided a very clear combat strategy.
It has to be said that while this surprised and delighted them, it also gave them a slightly strange feeling.
Putting aside this strange feeling, the group leaped off the tortoise's back and charged toward the monster according to their battle plan.
Without hesitation, Wen Qiyuan appeared in front of the crab demon in a flash.
The crab demon never expected that a cultivator would dare to rush in front of it. It seemed that this cultivator had a death wish, so it would grant his wish.
The crab demon chuckled: "Oh ho, you cultivator are tired of living, daring to challenge this Crab King. Come on, let's see how many moves you can withstand from this crab."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crab demon raised its pincers and attacked Wen Qiyuan.
Little did they know, Wen Qiyuan was just waiting for its pliers!
"Oh!"
A ball of jet-black flame emerged from Wen Qiyuan's palm. The flame was not red, but black, shiny and gleaming, like a ghost, flickering and swirling. The surrounding temperature instantly dropped below zero, and it felt as if the black flame was carrying several ice blades that scraped across the surroundings.
Just as the pincers were about to strike, Wen Qiyuan aimed carefully, turned his foot, and dodged the pincers' straight attack. He then used his palm to control the flames and attack the crab demon's pincers.
"Huh, you cultivators still only know how to use this kind of magic."
The crab demon's words were full of disdain, showing great contempt for the black flames. "I don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending. In the ocean, what can fire do to me?"
After saying that, the crab demon, with an indifferent expression, lazily extended its left pincer and swung it at the flames.
"Ugh—what the hell is this thing! What's going on? I can't shake it off! Is it some kind of leech?"
The crab demon stared in horror at the black flames clinging to its pincers.
Black flames dotted the crab's claws, and instead of being extinguished, they seemed to be spreading. No matter how the crab demon swung its claws or tried to extinguish the fire with water arrows, it was all in vain.
As time passed, the black flames were about to spread to the entire claw, and the immense pain drove the crab demon into a frenzy.
"Damn cultivators, I, the Crab King, will tear you to pieces! Ah—"
A crab claw, enveloped in flames, detached from the crab demon's body and slowly landed.
The crab demon was truly willing to go all out, severing its left pincer to prevent the black flames from spreading further.
Wenwen, who was watching from a distance, seized the opportunity, darted close, and then darted away again. When she sat back on the old turtle's back, she was dragging a piece of roasted crab claw in her hand.
Several people in the distance were still locked in a fierce battle, using magic and weapons to fight each other.
However, none of this affected Wenwen and the old turtle's good mood.
"Wow, Grandpa Turtle, there's so much meat in these crab claws! They smell delicious!"
Wenwen held up the crab claw in her hand, brought it close to her nose, swallowed hard, and said, "Sharing is worse than enjoying alone. Good things should be shared. Hehehe, I'll keep it for now, and we'll all eat it together after we're done, hahaha."
Grandpa Turtle seemed not to hear these words; he kept a close eye on the people fighting over there.
After severing its left claw, the crab demon became very careful to avoid the black flames unleashed by Wen Qiyuan.
Although Wen Qiyuan had just broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, he had a solid foundation and had accumulated enough spiritual energy. He cultivated in such a spiritually rich mountain range and made it to the late stage of the fifth level in one fell swoop. Therefore, the spiritual energy stored in his body was also quite good.
The crab demon's idea of using the opponent's spiritual power to fight back was clearly unrealistic.
Just then, the crab demon dodged another oncoming blast of flames and retaliated with a barrage of water arrows.
While fighting back, Wen Qiyuan took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness and threw out a magical artifact.
This magical artifact was extremely small, appearing as thin as a hair in the water, and didn't attract the crab demon's attention at all.
Wen Qiyuan kept fighting the crab demon, and the black flames always just missed it.
During this prolonged struggle, the magical artifact circled the crab demon a hundred and eighty times.
Seeing the next flame about to strike, the crab demon predicted the direction and dodged to the right.
The next second, Wen Qiyuan shouted sharply, "Rise!"
In an instant, a cage suddenly rose up around the crab demon, completely surrounding it.
The cage was actually made of shiny black silk threads.
As they watched, the black silk slowly ignited, meaning the crab demon was completely surrounded by black flames.
At this moment, the crab demon has no way to escape and is doomed!
"Ah—Old Turtle, can you bear to watch me be burned to death?" The crab demon still tried to gain sympathy at this point.
The old tortoise, carrying Wenwen, approached the fiery cage and looked at the crab demon expressionlessly, saying, "Of course I can bear it, I can bear it very much. Second Uncle, roast it, and we'll go home and have a big meal."
Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, Wen Qiyuan replied, "Okay!"
"what--"
The cage tightened, and the flames drew closer to the crab demon. Recalling the pain of being burned before, the crab demon was filled with remorse and glared fiercely at the old tortoise in front of it. An evil thought arose in its mind.
"You old bastard, I'll grant your whole family your wish."
After saying that, the crab demon closed its eyes and smiled.
"Master, it's about to self-destruct!"
