Chapter 356: Damn it! You're the Kui Wood Wolf!!!
【Name: Blade Crab】
【Gender: Male】
【Trait: Rampant: When walking sideways, movement speed increases by more than two times.】
【Attribute: Metal/Water】
【Level: Tier 6, Level 7】
【Skills: Blade Hammer (Proficient): Uses incredibly sharp pincers to attack enemies; even Pet Beasts covered in a layer of metal will be split in two by the Blade Crab.
High-Pressure Water Gun (Proficient): Sprays a high-pressure water gun from its mouth; this high-pressure water gun is comparable to a water cutter and can easily cut metal in half.
Regeneration (Proficient): When an arm or body part is missing, it can rapidly regenerate.
Bomb Bubble (Proficient): Sprays bubbles like bombs from its mouth; the bubbles have extremely strong attack power when they explode.
Molt and Escape (Mastered): After encountering a difficult opponent, the Blade Crab will use Molt and Escape; the carapace on its body can still attack according to its will, while the main body escapes.】
【Evolution Route 1: Steel Blade Crab: After consuming super alloys and tempering its body, it evolves into a Steel Blade Crab.】
【Evaluation: A subordinate of the Storm Dragon; it is covered in a thick layer of metal. Setting aside that carapace, its meat is tender and is a top-tier delicacy.】
"Oh no, the Blade Crabs are rushing up."
A thin layer of sweat seeped from Lady Bat's forehead; she was actually not good at combat.
Once she encountered Blade Crabs with extremely high defensive power, she was basically done for.
Moreover, it wasn't just one Blade Crab, but a whole swarm.
Lady Bat's current thought was to use teleportation to escape from here and return to the Banan Suo.
"Ye Bai, I'll take you away from here; there are too many Blade Crabs."
"I'm worried your safety is being threatened."
Ye Bai was a researcher favored by Su Qingxian and also the dark horse of this competition; naturally, she did not want Ye Bai to fail here.
Just as Lady Bat was about to use teleportation to leave, she was stopped by Ye Bai.
"Wait a moment, Lady Bat."
"They're just Blade Crabs; I can handle them."
"If high-quality ingredients come to your door and you don't know how to cherish them, you'll be struck by heaven's wrath."
"Go, Thunder Light Butterfly King."
The Blade Crab is a Tier 6 Pet Beast, and the Thunder Light Butterfly King is also a Tier 6 Pet Beast.
"Be careful, Blade Crabs are not that easy to deal with. I once witnessed a wounded Fortress Whale being torn apart and eaten by a swarm of Blade Crabs in the Sea God Abyss."
"The Fortress Whale, having no room to resist, wailed for three whole days and nights before it finally breathed its last."
"They are known as the villains of the sea."
Lady Bat hurriedly explained; she did not want Ye Bai to contend with the Blade Crabs.
These Blade Crabs possess extremely strong physical defense and Thunder Resistance; for Lady Bat, it would take a great deal of effort to deal with the Blade Crabs, which felt like it wasn't worth the cost.
"Don't worry, the Thunder Light Butterfly King will take action."
Blue electric arcs gathered on the wings of the Thunder Light Butterfly King, gradually forming a crackling Thunder Ball.
It suddenly flapped toward the Blade Crabs, and bolts of Thunder Ball flew out, landing on the bodies of the Blade Crabs.
The Blade Crabs glared fiercely; facing the attack of the Thunder Ball, they did not retreat, but instead walked sideways, charging toward the Thunder Ball.
A cold light flashed by, and the Thunder Ball was split in two; the Thunder Light filling the sky fell like raindrops, instantly spreading along the rapid water flow.
The Blade Crabs that came into contact with the electric current fell into a state of paralysis one after another.
They were shocked until they were all baring their teeth and glaring fiercely.
Unfortunately, their bodies could not move, and quite a few Blade Crabs were even washed away directly by the rapid water flow.
"Actually, in such a narrow space, hunting Blade Crabs is the most suitable."
Just as Ye Bai finished speaking, the office was instantly breached by the water flow.
More and more Blade Crabs rushed in from the outside.
Ye Bai and Lady Bat squinted their eyes, watching as the entire building was teetering on the edge of collapse.
The office where Doctor Zhubinuo was located was originally an ancient building.
After being washed by the water flow and the swarming Blade Crabs, it could no longer hold on.
"Go, we must leave here."
Lady Bat said sternly.
Ye Bai then gave the next order to the Thunder Light Butterfly King.
"Thunder Light Butterfly King, Summon Lightning Bomb."
At this moment, Lady Bat pulled Ye Bai to the outside.
This was a remote corner of Xinyue Daxue, which could also be considered a high point.
From here, one could clearly see the battle between the Thunder Light Butterfly King and the Blade Crabs.
Currently, the Eight Kings were confronting the Storm Dragon and were already too busy to care about anything else, so naturally, they would not pay attention to the battle happening at Xinyue Daxue.
Now, nearly half of the territory of the Beautiful Country had turned into marshland.
The Thunder Light Butterfly King fired a large number of Summon Lightning Bombs.
These Thunder Balls submerged into the water like torpedoes, and columns of water shot up into the sky one after another.
Quite a few Blade Crabs that had been shocked into unconsciousness floated to the surface of the water.
Looking closely, holes had actually appeared on their carapaces.
It was precisely these holes that made the Blade Crabs unable to resist the attacks of the Thunder Light Butterfly King.
"This Myriad-Changing Butterfly of yours is truly amazing to be able to possess so many forms."
Sometimes, Lady Bat even feels that she is no match for Ye Bai; his Pet Beast is even capable of fighting across tiers.
This is what Lady Bat lacks.
Lady Bat feels that she is still somewhat weak and isolated; if only she could find Kuimulang to provide long-range support.
"Use Insect Silk."
The stunned Blade Crab was pierced through the brain by strands of insect silk as hard as iron.
Their bodies twitched violently, and before long, they all gasped their last and died.
Watching the Blade Crab being killed so easily by the Thunder Light Butterfly King, Lady Bat finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Lady Bat seems to have been happy a bit too early.
Just at this moment, a cold light appeared out of nowhere, tearing the place where they were standing into pieces with a single strike.
A huge black shadow emerged from the water.
Lady Bat cast Space Transfer, moving both herself and Ye Bai high into the air.
They looked down from above at the place where they had been standing.
The structure was torn directly to pieces, and a large amount of stone scattered into the rushing river water, being washed away before long.
With the help of the lightning descending from the sky, Ye Bai saw that this was a crab comparable in size to a small car.
The body of this crab was covered in a layer of gray-white metal, looking just like a valiant and spirited great general.
Its blade-arms were very slender, and its eight powerful legs were deeply inserted into the water surface.
This should be the evolved form of the Blade Crab, the Steel Blade Crab.
【Name: Steel Blade Crab】
【Gender: Male】
【Trait: Rampant: When walking sideways, movement speed increases by more than two times.】
【Attribute: Metal/Water】
【Level: Seven-Tier Peak】
【Skills: Steel Blade Hammer (Mastery): Uses incredibly sharp pincers to attack enemies; even Pet Beasts covered in a layer of metal will be split in two by the Blade Crab. The Steel Blade Crab's blades are even sharper, capable of cutting hair blown against them.
Super High Pressure Water Gun (Mastery): Sprays a super high pressure water gun from its mouth; after entering the prey's body, it will rupture the prey's internal organs.
Regeneration (Mastery): When an arm or body part is missing, it can rapidly regenerate. Steel Bullet Bubble (Mastery): Sprays bomb-like bubbles from its mouth; when the bubbles explode, they spray a large number of steel bullets. This move is similar to a shotgun.
Shell-Shedding Escape (Mastery): After encountering a difficult opponent, the Blade Crab will use Shell-Shedding Escape; the shell on its body can still attack according to its will, while the main body escapes.
Thrust (Mastery): The Steel Blade Crab will raise its steel blade to thrust; its thrusting speed is extremely fast, and often before the prey has reacted, its body has already been pierced by the steel blade.
Lightning Body Tempering (Mastery): Can use violent electric currents to temper the metal in its body, achieving the purpose of purification.】
【Domain: Iron Wall Domain (Entry)】
【Evolution Route 1: Sword Blade Steel Crab: Continuously devours steel, replaces impurities in the body, and after a period of tempering, evolves into a Sword Blade Steel Crab.】
【Evaluation: The evolved form of the Blade Crab; it is the leader of the Blade Crabs. Its strength is quite terrifying and it is also very difficult to deal with. Its electrical resistance has even reached max.】
Tsk tsk, to think it even summoned the leader over.
Ye Bai smiled.
It's just right to wipe out this group of Blade Crabs in one go.
It is said that the crab roe of the Steel Blade Crab tastes quite good; this guy is a supreme delicacy, the kind that can be served at a state banquet.
If the taste of a Blade Crab is comparable to an authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crab, then the deliciousness of a Steel Blade Crab is more than ten times that of a Blade Crab.
Looking at this Steel Blade Crab, tears of desire flowed from the corner of Ye Bai's mouth.
He slurped.
"Sun Flower Fairy, Rose Empress, start the hunt."
Just as Ye Bai finished speaking, a steel blade the size of a thumb instantly rushed toward him.
His pupils reflected the gray-white steel blade; at this moment, Ye Bai's pupils dilated sharply.
For the first time, Ye Bai felt he was so close to death.
If the steel blade hit the center of his brow, he would die instantly.
Just at this moment, a speck of light flashed at the center of Ye Bai's brow.
The North Star Sky Wolf Blade sensed that Ye Bai was under a fatal threat.
The Sun Blade and Moon Blade shot out from the center of Ye Bai's brow, knocking the steel blade away.
The steel blade fell into the water with a splash and was washed away.
The Moon Blade specializes in defense, and the Sun Blade specializes in offense.
The Sun and Moon blades circled around Ye Bai, protecting his safety.
The hands of the Sun Flower Fairy and the Rose Empress were trembling slightly.
That was close, truly close; their Pet Beast Master had almost become a corpse.
Both of them were furious.
Upon seeing the appearance of the North Star Sky Wolf Blade, Lady Bat's mouth hung wide open.
Holy cow!
The North Star Sky Wolf Blade.
Oh my goodness.
Di Tu Mao, I know who the new Kuimulang is.
Lady Bat was simply shocked to the core; oh my goodness.
Could it be any more absurd? A six-tier Pet Beast Master has actually gained the recognition of the North Star Sky Wolf Blade, becoming one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.
The Twenty-Eight Mansions involve the National Destiny of Yan Country, and every single one is indispensable.
This is also why, after Kuimulang was unable to find a successor, Qilin Marshal had to remain stationed at the Qi Luck Hall to suppress the Qi luck of the Yan Country.
Finding the vanished Sun Blade has always been a top-tier mission for every member of the Twenty-Eight Mansions.
Never did I expect that this vanished Sun Blade would actually appear in Ye Bai's hands.
"Ye Bai, you actually obtained the recognition of the Sky Wolf Blade!"
"Over these past ten-plus years, I don't know how many monstrous geniuses have failed to obtain its recognition."
"And you even found the missing Sun Blade."
"My god, so the recent surge in the Yan Country's Qi luck was all caused by you."
Lady Bat's mouth was open wide enough to fit a large apple inside.
"You, a Sixth Rank, have even become one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions!!!"
Lady Bat appeared quite shocked; she had never imagined that the Sky Wolf Blade would form a contract with Ye Bai.
Just like herself, she had only contracted the Space Bat Wings after passing through layers of trials.
Watching how he wielded the Sun and Moon dual blades as easily as his own arms, Lady Bat was thoroughly jealous.
"Let's deal with the Steel Blade Crab first."
"Sunflower Fairy, Rose Empress, you two coordinate with the Sun Blade to attack."
The Sun Blade transformed into countless clones in mid-air.
Following Ye Bai's order, the Sun Blade fell from the sky like a torrential rain of pear blossoms.
The sharp blades made an Impact against the Steel Blade Crab's body; metal collided with metal, sparking a large amount of Mars.
What surprised Ye Bai was that the Sky Wolf Blade struck the Steel Blade Crab hard, yet its metal shell did not have a single scratch.
This guy's defensive ability is just too strong.
For the first time, Ye Bai felt that he had met his match.
It's just that he didn't know if the Sunflower Fairy and Rose Empress could break through the Steel Blade Crab's defense.
"This is interesting."
Ye Bai licked his lips.
"This Steel Blade Crab has reached the Seventh Rank and has a rudimentary Domain, so naturally, it is not easy to deal with."
"If I'm not mistaken, it must have cast an Iron Wall Domain on its metal shell."
"This kind of Domain can increase one's own defensive power."
Only then did Ye Bai understand why the Truth Eye provided a description of the Domain; this was knowledge that only a peak Sixth Rank Pet Beast Master could learn.
"Why have I never heard of this Domain before?"
Ye Bai asked Lady Bat curiously.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because there are some things you are only told once you reach the peak of the Sixth Rank."
"Telling you too early would only be counterproductive."
"Every Pet Beast, when it reaches the peak of the Sixth Rank, will begin to comprehend its own Domain."
"At the Seventh Rank, it will condense the prototype of a Domain."
"The Eighth Rank can skillfully use a Domain, while the Ninth Rank can master a Domain."
"The reason we say Exotic Beasts above the Seventh Rank are harder to kill is because they have mastered the prototype of a Domain."
"Even if it's only a sliver, the difficulty increases significantly."
Lady Bat explained to Ye Bai.
"And the Soul Weapons we hold can also manifest a portion of a Domain."
"After this Steel Blade Crab casts its Domain, its defense will be strengthened."
"Ordinary Pet Beasts are unable to have any effect on the Steel Blade Crab."
Just at this moment, Dahui, holding the Thunder Axe, emerged from the Pet Beast Space and swung heavily toward the direction of the Steel Blade Crab.
The Steel Blade Crab looked at this chubby figure with a look of disdain.
It wasn't until the Thunder Axe was about to fall that the Steel Blade Crab felt the pressure, which was like a tsunami.
Not good.
I must block it, otherwise I will die.
Such a thought flashed through the Steel Blade Crab's mind.
