Suddenly, he swung his blade, and countless rays converged at its edge, forming a sharp Light Blade!
"Wooââ!"
The Light Blade cut through the air, producing a wailing sound like a real blade.
A terrifying whistling sound rapidly approached, slashing toward the mutant crabâs shell.
The mutant crab, with its injured eyes, couldnât see the outside situation, frantically scurrying around on the ground, waving its pincers desperately.
Bangââ!
With a dull thud, its shell shook violently. The Light Blade slashed at its cephalothorax, exploding fiercely.
A crimson wound appeared immediately on its cephalothorax. Though it didnât cut through the shell, it burned the mutant crabâs back shell as if it turned red-hot.
Li Xiangyangâs Light Blade not only had the cutting power of a physical attack, but it also possessed the characteristics of strong light and high temperature!
This strike combined both physical damage and magic-based damage.
Li Xiangyang succeeded with one move, rolling his body to quickly create distance to avoid being mistakenly injured by the mutant crab.
The mutant crab, in intense pain, swiftly scrambled sideways on its eight legs, desperately trying to escape to the waterâs edge.
At that moment, a snare lay on its retreat path, unnoticed.
As one of the mutant crabâs legs stepped into the snare.
In the next moment, Yang Wei sprang out from the bushes, tightly pulling the rope.
The snare tightened sharply, making a squeaking sound, fiercely binding the mutant crabâs leg!
The mutant crabâs immense body immediately halted, staggered, and fell flat to the ground.
But its size and weight were too overwhelming, causing Yang Wei to be dragged out of the bushes.
Yang Wei even slid a bit on the muddy ground!
The mutant crab twisted its enormous body, its eight sharp legs re-supporting it, forcefully pulling at the rope.
Yang Wei, covered in mud, quickly flung the rope around a nearby tree.
Then he leapt onto the tree and yanked the rope downward.
He wanted to use his weight to lift the mutant crab!
However, he clearly underestimated the mutant crabâs body weight.
Yang Wei hung in mid-air, no matter how much he swung his body, the rope remained taut and couldnât lift the mutant crab.
The mutant crab struggled towards the water, pulling Yang Wei from the tree, flipping him over, and dropping him to the ground.
Yang Wei shouted, "Brother Xiangyang, take action!"
Li Xiangyang roared and immediately charged forward, fiercely slashing down with a Light Blade!
Wooââ!
The intense sound of air being pierced, the Light Blade whistled and fiercely smashed onto one of the mutant crabâs legs.
With a bang, the mutant crabâs second leg on the right side jolted.
It immediately turned red from the high heat carried by the Light Blade.
The mutant crabâs shell didnât become fragile due to the burn, so except for a red mark on its leg, it didnât seem to be severely injured.
Its movement clearly slowed down with the injured leg.
Having been attacked twice, the mutant crab was clearly enraged.
The two large pincers swiped forcefully, instantly cutting the rope. Then, it darted swiftly towards Li Xiangyang with its eight legs!
Li Xiangyang was startled, repeatedly swinging his blade, releasing multiple Light Blades.
But they had little effect; the mutant crabâs pincers clearly resisted the burns, their black fur effectively blocking the high temperature.
Several Light Blades were blocked by its large pincers.
In a blink, it approached, the two pincers fiercely clamping toward Li Xiangyang.
Li Xiangyangâs face changed, he rolled urgently on the spot, dodging the pincers, filled with shock and anger.
Having its eyes damaged by his intense light explosion, how could it still pinpoint his location?
He continuously rolled on the ground, quickly rolling out of the mutant crabâs attack range.
The mutant crabâs pincers created non-stop banging sounds.
The surrounding trees and rocks shattered one after another.
Those pincers were terrifying, not only mighty but also sharp, often splitting anything caught into two with one clamp!
Its legs moved steadily on the ground, chasing Li Xiangyang.
Although its eyes were injured, it could still pinpoint Li Xiangyangâs position, causing both Li Xiangyang and Yang Wei to show anger and shock.
Old Yang and Yang Youwei stood beside Liang Yuan, witnessing this scene, showing surprise.
Old Yang said, "This mutant crabâs eyes are clearly injured, how can it still chase that kid Xiangyang?"
Yang Youwei also furrowed his brows; they were not sea folks, living long under the mountain, knowing little about crabs, such marine creatures.
Not far away, Zhang Rongrong glanced over frequently, her face full of anxiety, wanting to ask Liang Yuan for help but didnât know how to.
Yang Youwei, noticing this, couldnât help asking Liang Yuan, "Mr. Liang, whatâs up with this mutant crab? Does it have Spiritual Power?"
Liang Yuan heard this and slightly shook his head, "Locating positions isnât only dependent on eyes. In the deep sea, pitch dark, some marine creatures have eyes that are practically useless."
"They rely a lot on smell, hearing, and touch to sense their surroundings."
Yang Youwei was amazed and promptly asked, "Crabs donât have noses or ears, do they also have hearing and smell?"
Liang Yuan immediately smiled, "Of course they do. Without hearing and smell, relying solely on vision, theyâd be easy targets in the ocean."
"The injured eyes of this crab are currently relying on its hearing to locate positions."
"How? Where does it get hearing from?" Old Yang exclaimed in surprise.
Liang Yuan pointed to the mutant crabâs eight legs, saying, "Crabs sense their surroundings through vibrations with their legs, thus identifying whether water currents or ground disturbances are near."
"Therefore, their legs are their hearing system."
Not far away, Zhang Rongrongâs eyes brightened at these words, she quickly shouted, "Brother Xiangyang, attack the mutant crabâs legs! It uses its legs to locate positions!"
Li Xiangyang was energized upon hearing this, disregarding dodging, and continuously swung his blade, aiming at the mutant crabâs huge legs.
Bang, bang, bang...
Three successive explosions took place, light bursting forth, hitting three of the mutant crabâs legs with the Light Blade.
As the Light Blade exploded, producing high temperatures, the mutant crabâs body paused, and red marks appeared on its legs.
It staggered and suddenly ceased its attack. In the next moment, it turned and ran!
Li Xiangyang didnât pursue this time, breathing heavily, staying put.
Repelling the mutant crab was already challenging enough; he felt there was no need to mess with the mutant creature anymore.
Moreover, his Superpower had depleted significantly. Continuing the fight, he wasnât confident of retreating unharmed.
Watching the mutant crab retreat into the water, Li Xiangyang sighed.
If they could capture this mutant crab, they wouldnât lack meat for days.
Just as he was lamenting, the mutant crab suddenly collapsed with a bang.
Its eight legs and two pincers convulsed violently.
Within a moment, it started frothing at the mouth, and lay motionless.
Li Xiangyang was stunned, bewildered, asking, "Did my previous attacks finally take effect?"
As he pondered, he saw Liang Yuan leading the group over.
Liang Yuan casually picked up the mutant crab, stored it in the inventory, while taking out a wooden raft.
He carried Yang Mei, leaped onto the raft.
The group stared in amazement, momentarily unable to react.
