Chapter 0003: The Terrifying Young Demon Crab

Before setting out to sea, Ye Mo had heard from other martial artists about the terrifying sea monsters in the East Sea. These creatures could grow to several miles in length, capable of turning rivers and seas upside down, swallowing a ship whole, and riding the clouds. Only cultivators could contend with these powerful sea monsters

The young crab seemed to have not anticipated encountering humans on this beach, as humans were quite unfamiliar to it

Escape

Ye Mo had no time to dodge and could only clash head-on, instantly being sent flying several zhang away by the giant claw. The experience of being struck and sent flying was extremely unpleasant

Ye Mo was taken aback and immediately showed a look of joy, "This East China Sea crab has grown so large! However, its shell still appears quite tender, indicating that it is a juvenile crab that has not yet reached maturity. As long as I kill this young crab and roast it into crab meat, I won't have to worry about food for several days. Haha, it seems that I won't starve on this island!"

Suddenly, a faint sound came from behind me

The water arrow shot out explosively from the mouth of the young demon crab

The young crab felt a sharp pain in its little legs, screamed, and wildly waved its large pincers towards Ye Mo.

Under the tremendous rebound of force, Ye Mo stumbled back several steps with a "thud, thud!" In a moment of desperation, he plunged the Qingfeng sword fiercely into the ground, finally stabilizing his stance

Ye Mo instantly cast aside the distractions in his mind and swiftly turned around with his sword in hand

Ye Mo trembled for a moment, in the instant of life and death, his mind was extraordinarily clear

The young crab waved its large pincers at Ye Mo twice, as if the previous clash had excited it, eager to continue sparring with Ye Mo

Bang

The young crab's strike missed this creature it had never seen before, seemingly growing more enraged, its two large pincers gleaming with a blinding light in the sunlight as they swept towards Ye Mo.

The young crab waved its large pincers high, quickly crawling towards Ye Mo at hetushucom.com, determined to let this fellow know that it was not to be trifled with

If I break through to the late stage of body refinement and successfully cultivate the third move of the "Wave Cutting Technique," "Stacked Wave Slash," then I should be able to cut off this little crab's legs!

A strong sense of fear enveloped him

Pfft

In an instant, he made a comparison of the strengths of both sides in his heart and was shocked to discover that he was not a match for this young crab

Ye Mo did not evade this time

It is still underage, and barely managing to unleash a water arrow is already its limit; it cannot perform any more magical tricks. It swiftly crawled towards Ye Mo, intending to deliver a fatal blow with its large pincers.

The young demon crab let out a piercing scream and quickly turned to scurry frantically towards the sea. The intense pain in its legs instilled a profound fear, causing it to abandon the pursuit of Ye Mo and hastily flee into the ocean

This large sea crab is by no means an ordinary crab, but rather a young, yet to be matured, sea demon beast

Demon crab, go die!

Breaking the Waves!

The Qingfeng sword struck the joint of one of the young demon crab's legs.

Do not sneak into the sea!

Ye Mo gripped the Qingfeng sword tightly with both hands, swiftly adjusting his stance for defense. "Those massive pincers must be the hardest part of its body. If there is a weakness, it should be in its eight legs on the side, which are much smaller. As long as I sever a few of them, it will move extremely slowly, significantly reducing its threat level"

Ye Mo had a very ominous premonition

Ye Mo's Qingfeng sword emitted a tremor and a vibrating sound, and in an instant, the sword's edge transformed into two beams of cold light, almost simultaneously appearing and striking the wound on the left side of the young demon crab's small leg.

However, his intuition told him that he must not stop, as the water arrow condensed in the mouth of the young demon crab was extremely fearsome

The young crab clearly sensed Ye Mo's "hostility," and it became enraged

The young crab did not crawl over to attack him again, but instead stood several zhang away, glaring with extreme anger through its pair of reddened eyes, opening its crab mouth. A thick mist of water emerged from its mouth, magically condensing into a water arrow approximately one foot long, crystal clear and translucent

Competing with it in strength and defense is quite disadvantageous. It is essential to identify its weaknesses

Ye Mo did not pay much attention at the time, believing that the likelihood of encountering such a terrifying sea monster was very low. The enormous sea monster would not regard him, a mere small warrior, as worthy of its pursuit.

The power of the sea monster is simply beyond the capability of any martial artist to contend with

He can no longer perform the "Wave Overlapping Slash," and it is even difficult for him to execute the "Breaking Wave Slash"

Moreover, this is a top-quality Qingfeng sword, a superior weapon for martial artists, capable of severing even ordinary iron with a single strike. However, when it struck its large claw, it surprisingly left only a faint mark, without even causing a wound; its claw is truly too hard!

He had never imagined that such a terrifying sea monster would appear before his eyes. Moreover, this young crab was only a few feet in size, much smaller than he had envisioned for a sea monster, to the extent that he did not even consider it to be a sea monster at first

Within his clothing, the ancient painting shimmered with a flash of light

He must escape from this coastline as soon as possible, otherwise the young demon crab will awaken from its agony and come after him again, which will undoubtedly cost him his life

Ye Mo was about to pounce, but suddenly he was startled and halted his steps

Ding!

Ye Mo was somewhat surprised and quickly sidestepped to avoid the strike from the young crab, "It doesn't flee; it actually takes the initiative to attack people! These crabs on the island are quite bold!"

On the small crab's leg, there was a noticeable bloodstain wound about 1 inch deep, left by mhetushu.com. However, the situation was not as Ye Mo had imagined, as the crab leg was not severed.

Ding!

Ye Mo tightly gripped the Qingfeng sword with both hands, slowly approaching the young crab, preparing to slay it with a single strike to enjoy its roasted meat. He seemed to envision the large crab transforming into a delicious, gigantic barbecued crab.

Behind him, several zhang away, there was a huge crab, standing at least two chi tall, even bigger than the wooden basin used for bathing children, with a tender yellow shell. It had just been washed ashore by a wave, and as the tide receded, the crab's body was completely exposed on the beach.

Suddenly, a sharp and piercing howl came from behind him

It immediately ceased its crawling motion, puffing up a pair of round, bulging eyes, and raised a pair of golden pincers that were a full three feet long, glaring warily at Ye Mo

No, the second move of the "Wave-Cutting Technique" still cannot cut through!

After finishing his training in the sea, Ye Mo walked onto the beach. His sweat dripped incessantly, and his martial artist's robe was completely soaked, making it impossible to distinguish whether it was seawater or sweat.

Ye Mo had not yet escaped ten zhang when he felt as if his back had been struck violently by a heavy hammer weighing several hundred pounds

The sun scorches the entire island with its intense heat, and the gravel on the beach is hot underfoot

Shasha ... ... ! ''

What is this? Sorcery? It—could it be a sea monster?

It has been injured and is thoroughly enraged. As a juvenile, it is not suitable to unleash this water arrow, as it could cause significant harm to its body. Nevertheless, disregarding these concerns, it is determined to eliminate the person before it who dares to provoke it

As a mid-level martial artist, at the sixth layer of body refinement, my slashing strength is a full 200 pounds. The strength of this young crab definitely exceeds 300 pounds, even stronger than that of a late-stage body refinement martial artist

Ye Mo struggled to stand up and began to draw a picture.

Vortex Slash

Ye Mo gripped the Qingfeng sword with both hands, his figure suddenly lunging forward, and then he swiftly twisted to the left, evading to the side of the young crab

Whoosh

Am I going to be killed by the magical powers of the juvenile demon crab

Ye Mo was taken aback

The young demon crab is less than one zhang away from him, raising its pair of pincers high.

Wave stacking double kill

However, in the face of the utterly unfamiliar sea monster, he was overcome by an inexplicable fear, unsure of how to respond

A tremendous impact force rebounded back

It seems that it did not exert its full strength; it was merely a tentative attack. Damn, what kind of sea crab is this? Such a massive size is unlike any crab I have seen in the rivers of the Martial Kingdom. Are all the sea crabs on the islands of the East China Sea this large and formidable?

He gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain in his back as he sprinted towards the island's jungle

Ye Mo let out a sharp howl, his figure swiftly darting to the side, as the Qingfeng sword suddenly struck down at the wounded leg of the young demon crab.

Ye Mo felt a deep sense of fear, and he no longer had the courage to continue fighting

Ye Mo instinctively felt the hair on his body stand on end; as a mid-level martial artist, he possessed a highly sensitive perception of sound

This is definitely not an ordinary juvenile sea crab! This juvenile crab is even stronger than me, a mid-level warrior who has trained for ten years. Both its attack power and defense surpass mine

Ye Mo experienced excruciating pain in his chest, accompanied by a wave of fear

Even if he is still slow-witted, Ye Mo has now completely understood.

Ye Mo's expression was one of horror as he gazed at the golden juvenile crab before him, his heart surging with tumultuous waves of shock.

He violently shook his head, flinging off all the sweat, and after wiping it with his sleeve, he began to search for seabird eggs along the beach. The constant hunger in his stomach compelled him to quicken his pace

What tremendous strength!

I cannot just die like this with * books *!

Ye Mo drank heavily

A thick, foul-smelling liquid of yellow and red splattered, and the little crab's leg was severed

No, I cannot die! I still have many things to accomplish, my mansion, my fine horses, my beautiful wife! I have not yet become a top martial artist, nor have I found the immortal village to become an immortal practitioner! How can I just die like this!

He dares to engage in life-and-death struggles with any beast

Pfft

Ye Mo rolled several times onto the sandy ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "At least I need to land several more strikes to possibly sever one of its small crab legs, slowing its crawl down!"

Ye Mo heard the sound of crabs quickly crawling up behind him, and he suddenly turned around

What a hard claw!

Ye Mo was struck by a water arrow and violently thrown to the ground, his face pressed against the sand, feeling a piercing pain, as a bone-chilling cold enveloped his entire body

In a critical moment, he unexpectedly succeeded in executing the "Double Wave Slash!", a high-level third move from the "Wave Slashing Technique", but he had very little stamina left.

He swung his sword, the blade glinting with a cold light, and in an instant, struck down on a large claw that the young crab had thrust out.

Ye Mo did not dare to linger, let alone pursue the kill

noon

This is not the sound of waves crashing on the beach

He did not hear the sound of the young demon crab chasing him

Ye Mo, in a state of panic, fled into the depths of the island's dense forest, clutching the Qingfeng sword tightly.

The young demon crab seemed to emit a few sharp laughs, as if it were proud of easily defeating Ye Mo

Suddenly, a cold arc of light shot out from his hand

Ye Mo staggered backward in shock, his face turning pale in an instant, and he could barely hold onto the Qingfeng sword in his hand.

Incredible!

Fortunately, this is still a beach, at least I can still stand up. If I had crashed into the rocks, I would have surely coughed up blood
