Chapter 601 Crab Roe
Chapter 601 Crab Roe
Perhaps stimulated by the pain, the Crab King increased the speed of its claw swings, striking Du Xian hard in the waist.
Just as Du Xian was sent flying, Xu Fu arrived wielding his water-split fork!
"Den!"
A crisp sound.
Xu Fu's heart sank instantly.
The mid-grade ritual implement, the water-dividing fork, broke cleanly into two pieces.
However, only a few white marks remained on the Crab King's shell.
Xu Fu was both anxious and angry. He gripped the half of the water-splitting fork in his hand and slammed it hard against the crab demon king's shell.
With another sharp crack, the half of the water-splitting fork in Xu Fu's hand broke off again.
The Crab King had already noticed someone on its back and immediately waved its pincers to grab them.
However, Xu Fu's location was quite convenient; it was exactly where the Crab Demon King couldn't reach him.
"How to do?"
Xu Fu knew he didn't have much time left. Du Xian's fate was unknown, and if that beast...
As if hearing Xu Fu's thoughts, the Crab Demon King tried a few times but couldn't reach Xu Fu, so it crawled towards Du Xian's direction.
Xu Fu looked up and saw Du Xian sitting on a rock, his face pale, blood dripping from his mouth with each breath.
Even so, Du Xian's eyes remained fixed on the Crab Demon King, without the slightest fear.
Xu Fu could tell that at this moment, Du Xian would have difficulty even standing up, let alone fighting the Crab Demon King.
"Stop!"
Thinking of the impending tragedy, Xu Fu was extremely anxious. He roared and pounded the crab demon king's shell with his fists.
After hitting it a few times, the Crab King's shell remained intact, but Xu Fu was surprised to find that the Crab King had actually stopped.
"Could it understand human speech?"
As Xu Fu pondered this, a voice entered his ears.
"Junior brother, hurry!"
Xu Fu glanced around and discovered that, without him noticing, all the Azure Dragon disciples who had been guarding the magic array had run out.
Someone used magic to create a shallow pit under the Crab Demon King, and several others brought in a large amount of seawater. A tall, handsome cultivator then injected his icy spiritual power, which was shrouded in white mist, into the seawater.
"Senior Brother Qin!"
Xu Fu exclaimed in surprise.
He recognized at a glance that the one casting the "Ice Freezing Technique" was Qin Kaiye, Jiao Tong's second disciple!
Xu Fu hadn't seen him before, so he must have just arrived. The "Junior Brother" he just called out must have been him.
With the help of other Azure Dragon disciples, Qin Kaiye used the "Ice Freezing Technique" to its fullest extent, quickly freezing all six of the Crab Demon King's crab legs in the shallow pit.
"Great!"
Xu Fu praised it in his heart.
Xu Fu also knew this "Ice Freezing Technique," but he only used it to freeze meat. He never expected that Qin Kaiye could actually trap a ninth-grade demon beast!
Before Xu Fu could even greet Qin Kaiye, the crab shell beneath his feet suddenly began to tremble.
Before Xu Fu could react, his body suddenly swayed, and he almost fell onto the crab shell.
The next moment, the two crab legs broke free from the "Ice Freeze" spell.
Xu Fu finally understood what Qin Kaiye meant by "fast." It seemed that Qin Kaiye also knew that this "Ice Condensation Technique" wouldn't trap the Crab Demon King for too long.
"quick!"
Qin Kaiye shouted again, and everyone worked together once more to continue freezing the Crab Demon King's legs. However, this time, the Crab Demon King was on guard, and it was not as easy as before.
Xu Fu sensed the urgency in Qin Kaiye's tone; he wanted to hurry too! But how could he break through the Crab Demon King's shell when he was unarmed?
Xu Fu found the wound he had poked on the Crab Demon King's back last time. Although it had healed, there was still a faint trace of it.
He was certain that this was the Crab Demon King's weak point, but even so, his fists and feet couldn't break through it at this moment.
Xu Fu frantically rummaged through his Qiankun bag, trying to find something that could crack open the crab shell.
In the end, he only pulled out a short, dark stick.
Xu Fu was quite helpless. Although his Qiankun bag was large, it contained no divine weapons or magical artifacts. The only thing that could be considered a weapon was this stick.
At this moment, the Crab Demon King had completely broken free from the "Ice Freezing Technique" and crawled out of the shallow pit.
The students of Qinglong wanted to try the same trick again, but the Crab Demon King only swung his crab claw, and most of the students lost their footing, making it difficult for them to accurately cast spells.
In this way, no matter how powerful Qin Kaiye's cold energy was, it would be unable to freeze this enormous creature.
"do not care!"
Seeing that the Crab Demon King was approaching Du Xian, Xu Fu made a snap decision, raised the short stick above his head with both hands, and used all his strength to smash it into the weakest point of the crab shell.
"Crack!"
The hard crab shell shattered instantly.
The short stick even went quite a distance into the crab meat.
Having suffered such a severe blow, the Crab King stopped crawling and tried again to grab Xu Fu with its claws.
Xu Fu was pleasantly surprised by the damage inflicted by the black stick; he hadn't expected this seemingly unremarkable stick to have such power.
"It looks like a treasure!"
Xu Fu sighed inwardly, feeling at ease now that he had a treasure capable of breaking through the Crab Demon King's hard shell.
Easily dodging the crab claws, Xu Fu moved east and west, and in no time he had made more than a dozen holes in the crab demon king's back.
The crab demon king seemed to feel no pain and continued to try to grab Xu Fu with its giant pincers.
"Let's see how long you can hold out."
Xu Fu felt like he was fishing on the ice when he was a child, tapping the ice back and forth, which was quite fun, but unfortunately there were no fish to catch.
"Ok?"
Just as Xu Fu was lamenting the lack of fish, he discovered a bright yellow object inside a broken crab shell.
Is it crab roe?
Xu Fu reached in and tried to take it out, but couldn't.
The Crab Demon King suddenly perked up and stopped looking for Du Xian, instead running frantically into the sea.
Xu Fu was startled by this sudden change. Fortunately, he held on tightly to the yellow thing, which prevented him from slipping off the crab's back.
"Get out here!"
Seeing that the Crab Demon King was about to enter the sea, Xu Fu put away his black staff and pulled it out with all his might.
Finally, the "crab roe" was extracted from the Crab Demon King's body.
Xu Fu didn't even bother to look at what he was holding; he stuffed it into his Qiankun bag and ran away.
He didn't want to go into the sea with the Crab Demon King like he did last time.
But after running only a few steps, Xu Fu realized something was wrong. The Crab Demon King seemed to have stopped, less than three zhang away from the sea.
"what happened?"
Xu Fu did not understand.
He flapped his Wind and Thunder Wings and came into the air, where he saw the Crab Demon King lying motionless on the shore, like a small mountain, its six long legs still in a running posture.
"died?"
Xu Fu thought of a possibility, and he hurriedly took out the "crab roe" from his Qiankun bag. With a little perception, he felt the surging spiritual power contained within it, and the Tongtian Technique started to operate uncontrollably.
So this is your Achilles' heel!
Xu Fu chuckled, stuffed the "crab roe" back into his Qiankun bag, flapped his wings, and flew towards Du Xian's direction.
