Slaying Crabs

Jing Qian had only just embarked on the path of cultivation, and he had no particular attachment to the memories he had acquired for free.

From these memories, he had come to understand just how much of a pit the four major professions of Inscription Carving, Dietary Supplement Pill Refining, Weapon Forging, and Weaving Clothes and Painting Skin were.

Let alone ordinary rogue cultivators, even those with the Destiny Hearth bloodline, disciples of large islands, even if they had talent, wealth, opportunities, and time, investing in these four major professions did not guarantee a commensurate return.

Therefore, in the cultivation world of Hun Zhou, these professions, where the effort and reward were severely disproportionate, were also known as the Four Great Heavenly Pits.

To avoid these pits, cultivators often changed their thinking, trying to move upstream in the industry chain, breaking away from the high-threshold high-end manufacturing field, and focusing on the development and utilization of raw materials.

Jing Qian swam in this professional knowledge, transforming it into cultivation resources.

After digesting the memories, he once again exited the Destiny Stele Space and returned to reality.

After a crucial wave of vital energy replenishment, he was in great spirits, sweeping away his previous decadent state!

He stood up from the raft and looked around, seeing the vast and magnificent sea, where the sea and sky merged into one color.

Taking a deep breath, he felt the coolness brought by the sea breeze on his face, but his heart was burning with fervor.

Having lived another life, various life-and-death matters had occurred one after another, leaving him overwhelmed and with almost no time to think.

It was only now that he had the leisure to consider his future.

In the long run, the pursuit of cultivation would undoubtedly be his unwavering and unchangeable ultimate goal.

Although this was an incredibly difficult path, he was full of anticipation and enthusiasm for it.

However, this long-term goal was still somewhat distant for Jing Qian at this time.

Currently, his body was weak, his cultivation was low, and he was in this vast, empty sea.

If he were in his previous life, he would definitely be dead by now.

Therefore, the most urgent task in the short term was undoubtedly to leave the ocean as soon as possible, return to land, and find a good environment where he could grow steadily!

Jing Qian stepped on the raft beneath his feet. The fish-powered engine composed of five hundred large fish had completely disappeared in the tsunami.

He needed a new source of power!

Having the Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits Destiny Constitution also gave him the ability to net large fish.

He raised his hand and pointed, and a pure white silk thread skillfully leaped out, plunging into the seawater and extending rapidly towards the seabed.

This silk thread had a peculiar nature, with extremely high efficiency in transmitting his divine sense. Wherever the thread pointed, he felt as if he were personally present, with extremely clear perception.

It was also a wonderful experience to swim in the seabed with a single thread as his guide!

Unlike the Azure Pearl, Jing Qian only had the option of choosing one fish. He had to choose a very powerful large fish!

He lightly twisted the silk thread with his right hand, turning and turning, picking and choosing, comparing back and forth.

This felt very much like a young man who had suddenly become rich, meticulously comparing various parameters and reviews on a forum, carefully selecting a new car.

He didn't want one that was too thin, too ugly, or too flat.

Jing Qian was determined to choose a well-proportioned, robust fish to pull his boat.

The sun was high in the sky, and a child patiently fished, just waiting for a bite!

At the same time, he continued to savor and ponder his memories, effectively killing two birds with one stone.

Just as he was gradually becoming immersed, a dark shadow flashed past in the deep sea, brushing against the area of Jing Qian's divine sense!

He was startled awake. Just as he was about to continue exploring, the raft beneath his feet was directly sent flying by a tremendous force.

Jing Qian, sitting calmly on the raft, was like a little squirrel, whooshing through the air, flung towards the sky.

When he was in the air, struggling to regain his balance, he looked down, and his temper flared up instantly!

"My boat!"

He saw a giant crab claw, spread open and extending out of the water, directly cutting the raft he relied on for survival into two pieces!

This crab claw was over ten meters wide, colorful and extremely magnificent.

And it cut the coconut wood raft as if snapping a crisp, sweet sugarcane stalk; the two halves of the claw touched, and it broke.

This raft, which had accompanied Jing Qian across a thousand miles, safely through several life-and-death crises, and was not even damaged by a tsunami, finally met its end.

On this vast sea, without a place to stand, Jing Qian's living environment became even more difficult.

The other party daring to attack his raft was no less than cutting off Jing Qian's lifeline, creating a life-and-death feud!

How could he easily let the other party go?

Jing Qian fell from the sky, but just as he was about to fall into the sea, he leaped into the void, disappearing from reality.

Including his experience in the Destiny Stele Space, this was the third time he had used the Sumeru Destiny Constitution to escape into the void.

Each time he entered and exited, he became more familiar with that peculiar dimensional space.

In his vision, this dimension seemed to be a fourth dimension existing independently of reality, with unique rules.

Jing Qian traveled through the dimension, surrounded by endless darkness and interspersed with mottled real light and shadows, as if it were a secret realm detached from time and space.

He could move freely in this unknown dimensional space, possessing the innate ability of a void creature to travel.

In a very short time, he crossed a distance of dozens of meters and appeared at the enemy's location.

Separated by a membrane of light from the real space, Jing Qian clearly observed the enemy's appearance.

He saw a giant crab, nearly thirty meters long, surfacing from the bottom of the sea, brandishing its two claws, completely tearing the coconut wood raft to shreds.

Afterward, it picked up a few pieces from the broken coconut wood, threw them into its mouth, chewed them up, and swallowed them.

This large crab had a thick body and was colorful, with two raised eyes that swiveled left and right, extremely agile.

Through the dimensional barrier, Jing Qian clearly saw that the crab opposite him had a shimmering, moist white light, indicating it was a ninth-grade White Fang level demon with a Destiny Constitution.

But Jing Qian was completely fearless!

His body moved, bypassing the crab's claws, and beneath the large belly that was sinking into the water, he leaped out of the void, appearing behind the crab.

Back in the day, I used to eat three and a half catties of hairy crabs a day, tearing them apart with my bare hands, not even needing crab scissors. How could I be afraid of this clumsy demon?

The iron skewer in his hand shot out rapidly, carrying the inertia and kinetic energy of traversing space, parting the seawater, and stabbing towards a spot he had carefully chosen.

This was the connection between the crab's back shell and belly shell, and it was also Jing Qian's favorite spot to strike when peeling crabs.

It was also a narrow blind spot in nature, absolutely unreachable by the giant crab's enemies.

The iron skewer, filled with [White Fang Destiny Essence], shimmered with a faint cold light, penetrating all obstacles of seawater and reaching the giant crab's vital point.

The iron skewer, over a meter long, went straight through this gap in the shell, plunging directly in until only the handle remained.

Looking at the giant crab again, it immediately reacted. Its pair of agile eyes suddenly narrowed, and with a wail, its crab legs violently kicked up, stirring up huge waves beneath it.

But that sneaky enemy, as soon as it succeeded, had already retreated into the dimensional space, completely disappearing.

Returning to the dimension, Jing Qian held the bloody iron skewer and continued to observe the giant crab through the crystalline boundary membrane.

Hitting the target with one strike and then retreating was Jing Qian's established combat strategy, and it was extremely effective.

Seeing the crab's reaction, Jing Qian couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

The suddenly injured giant crab, mistakenly thinking the enemy was underwater, completely turned its body, raising its rear high out of the water towards the sky.

Its upper body was deep underwater, wielding its crab claws, flailing and trying to find the enemy that had ambushed it.

The poor crab, having misjudged the enemy's position, was completely unaware of its impending fate.

Jing Qian naturally wouldn't be polite. The enemy had presented its weakness right in front of him, so he picked up the iron skewer and vanished again.

Without the obstruction of seawater, his drawing sword was even simpler and sharper!

This time, not only did he stab the iron skewer into the giant crab's body, but he also held the handle and twisted it fiercely to his heart's content before retreating again.

The giant crab's rear was attacked repeatedly, yet it couldn't even see the enemy's shadow. The entire crab was not doing well!

It quickly sank to the seabed, landing on a reef. Its two crab claws were placed behind its back, firmly pressed against its rear, protecting the wound, not daring to move for a moment.

In fact, while Jing Qian's two attacks did injure this giant crab, they were not enough to cause fatal damage.

However, for this demonic ghost crab with the [White Fang] rank and a [Destiny Constitution], Jing Qian's two sneak attacks were not just physical pain, but also a great insult to its dignity and intelligence.

It had never encountered such an elusive enemy. This feeling of being toyed with by an invisible hand filled its heart with fear and anger.

We must try to understand it!

After all, to use an inappropriate example, even someone as strong as a Super Saiyan, if their chrysanthemum was exploded twice in a row, would inevitably feel fear and be unable to control themselves!

The giant crab roared continuously on the seabed, expressing its terror.

Meanwhile, Jing Qian in the dimensional space had also fallen into a stalemate.

At this point, the flaws in his tactical system were completely exposed!

Although he held the sharp iron skewer and could move in the dimension, relying purely on physical strength, his killing power was too small and could not deliver a decisive blow at all.

Even though he had previously stabbed the [Snow Woman] with one sword and killed a [Dragon Elephant] across ranks.

But that was entirely dependent on the [Azure Pearl] exhausting all its power to break the enemy's Dharma Idol protection for him, creating a chance for victory.

Otherwise, under the [Snow Woman]'s Dharma Idol protection, the broken iron skewer in Jing Qian's hand wouldn't even be able to break through the opponent's defense!

Currently, although he had injured this giant crab twice in a row.

The opponent's vigorous vitality was enough to recover from the injuries, not to the point of endangering its life.

On the contrary, Jing Qian had consumed a lot of [Destiny Essence] and magic power during his two void walks.

At this moment, the [Destiny Essence] accumulated in his body had been consumed by more than half!

If he couldn't find a chance to win again, the entire battle could reverse at any time!
