Beach World X Dragon Crab

"It's a beach."

Gon stood atop a Coconut Tree Top that was about one or two hundred meters tall, gazing into the distance.

On the lower leaves.

Killua, Morel, and Bianluoke stood separately.

They observed the entire area in front of them from different directions.

"This is basically a desert, how can there be such an exaggerated beach?"

Bianluoke was somewhat confused.

As far as the eye can see, all that can be seen is a beach, and in the distance, you can also see a few giant Coconut trees that can grow to be one or two hundred meters tall.

It looked exactly like a beach scene.

But whose beach has such a large area?

The formation of a beach shouldn't result in such an exaggerated area.

Looking out over the surroundings from a high vantage point, the information one can gather is extremely limited; although the view is expansive, it is utterly empty.

Everyone jumped down one after another.

It landed on the beach.

Morel reached out and grabbed a handful of sand from the beach, squeezed it, and the moist, muddy texture seeped out from between his fingers.

"It's just a beach, and there's a faint smell of the sea."

Although Lake Mobius is called a lake, it is essentially a saltwater sea.

The main reason it's called a lake is because, compared to the Dark Continent, it is a lake, and the name originates from the East.

"Based on our experience with areas we haven't explored before, it's highly likely that this area is entirely composed of beaches like these."

Because if you go up from this area, it's the same path that Kim and Kevin took to the Unmanned Stone Range.

"For a beach like this to form, it must have been constantly washed by the waves. I think we'd better wait a bit."

Bianluoke thought for a moment, then said seriously.

This is clearly caused by the waves, meaning there is high and low tide.

The waves have eroded the beach to such an exaggerated extent that they could almost be called a tsunami.

Everything on the Dark Continent is enormous, including the ocean waves.

"You want to observe the high and low tide periods?"

Morel turned his head and asked.

Bianluoke nodded and pointed inland.

"Let's go inland and take a look, at least to get a sense of the width of this area."

Morel thought about it and agreed.

As for Qi and Gon, they naturally had no objections.

They've never cared about these things; as long as it's interesting, that's enough.

Following the Boundary of the beach, the group headed inland.

Even after walking until noon, the environment of the beach had not changed much.

"The level of humidity has decreased, so it seems that not every high or low tide wave travels such a distance."

Morel judged based on the softness and dampness of the sand beneath their feet.

They were previously located about five to six kilometers from the coast.

The sand in that area is mostly damp; you can squeeze water out of it, which means it has been constantly washed by the waves. Judging from the environment of the Dark Continent, the waves must have washed over that area at least every day.

This place is definitely not at the level of once a day.

"It's rather desolate, is it because we're on the Boundary?"

Gon looked around again and asked, somewhat bored.

On the beach, he thought he would see some small fish and shrimp.

However, the place felt somewhat deathly quiet.

"It must be due to the convergence of two environments, right?"

Kiy thought about it for a moment and then talked to Gon about it.

"That's ordinary land over there, and this is a beach. The creatures on both sides may not be adapted to this environment, so it's normal for the middle area to be a bit desolate."

Morel affirmed Qi's statement.

"It's very likely that, as you can see in the Boundary area here, the waves only occasionally wash over the area, which has created this incomplete beach shape, with some stubborn reefs remaining."

The desolation of this area is to be expected.

"Let's move forward a bit more, otherwise our judgment will be somewhat affected."

They changed direction and headed north.

It just keeps tilting upwards.

Night fell as they continued their journey.

The group found a huge empty coconut shell and used it as temporary shelter.

"This Coconut is huge, even bigger than the ones we found at the beach before."

Gon carried a huge Coconut back to the camp and placed it beside him; the Coconut was almost as big as a house.

They encountered similarly large Coconut Fruit when they landed before, but none were this exaggerated.

This Coconut Tree is significantly larger than those on other coastlines, and its fruit is naturally much larger as well.

Gon stretched out his finger and cut a triangular opening in the fruit, from which clear coconut juice gushed out.

He took out a gem from the ring, dipped it in the coconut juice, and after finding no change, he cupped his hands and drank it.

This gem was mined by Biscuit, and its color changes depending on the substances it comes into contact with.

This is perfect for testing toxicity.

One of the guarantees for survival in the wild.

"It's delicious, with just a hint of sweetness, it tastes like—"

Gon suddenly became illiterate, not knowing how to describe it.

"The sweet dew of the early morning."

After taking a sip, Bianluoke commented, and then produced small bubbles in his hand, which he handed to everyone.

The small bubbles can be used to collect water, and they even have protruding straw-like shapes on them.

"Yes, that's exactly how it feels."

Gon agrees with this description.

"It would be a great refreshing and palate-cleansing drink; it doesn't seem very similar to coconut milk."

Bianluoke, after all, came from the Food Village, and his knowledge of food far exceeded that of ordinary people, though not as much as Melusina or Men Qi.

But that's the top tier below them.

"This is the perfect time for seafood, right? After all, we're on the beach."

Suddenly, Qi thought of something and said with a smile.

However, the words had barely left his mouth.

Morel's expression changed.

"The seafood you've been waiting for has arrived, but there's an enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone sprang into action, and Gon casually stuffed the triangular shell he had just cut off into it.

The group jumped backward in unison.

Although they didn't see any approaching enemies in the distance, they sensed something was wrong through the tremors in the ground.

Their steps were incredibly fast, constantly shifting and intertwining, unlike running.

"Is it some kind of multi-legged arthropod, a crab?"

"Bianluoke asked."

That's all he could sense.

The group remained vigilant, neither advancing rashly nor fleeing directly.

Soon, the enemy revealed their true form.

In the moonlight, it was a huge, Shadow Creature.

"My God, how can it be so big?"

How tall is it? Seriously, it's at least fifty meters high.

This is considered top-tier even in the Giant Beast Kingdom.

Not to mention it's a strange creature that looks like a crab and a bit like Lobster.

Its limbs are outstretched, and its width is even more exaggerated than its height, reaching nearly 100 meters.

The center of its body is shaped like a long, narrow Lobster, with the front end resembling Lobster's head, and its slender antennae hanging down like two giant fishing rods.

The mouthparts are not visible; only some needle-like structures are visible.

On both sides are huge pincers, which are not long and slender like those of Lobster, but rather wide and similar to those of a crab.

But the only difference was his legs, arthropod-like legs, unlike those of a crab or Lobster.

Instead, they are extremely slender, like spiders, with each of their supporting branches extending outwards forty or fifty meters.

The sheer size of the figure standing before them was incredibly imposing, instantly creating a sense of intimidation and putting them under immense pressure.

"Run!"

Morel said without hesitation.

Without lingering, the group turned and fled into the distance.

As they fled, Morel kept puffing on his Pipe.

Large amounts of purple smoke transformed into mannequins identical to the four of them, scattering outwards, while some remained in place.

It kept taking shape and accumulating into hundreds.

This enormous, indescribable Giant-Clawed Lobster was incredibly fast, its spider-like legs weaving forward like a running skyscraper.

"Why are there such huge creatures here? I thought I'd stumbled into the Giant Beast Kingdom."

Qi, who was escaping with ease, couldn't help but shout.

It is indeed true that the creatures of the Dark Continent are all enormous.

However, apart from the ecosystem specifically created by Sapient Life in the Giant Beast Kingdom, it is rare to see large groups of giant beasts in other places.

Furthermore, the Dark Continent's geographical area is so vast that it's unlikely to be a place where every step presents a danger or every two steps presents a colossal beast.

After all, the perception of territory size is completely different for a giant beast that is tens of meters long than for a human, a creature whose height is no more than two meters.

The Dark Continent is a land of giants to humankind.

In the natural wild, even giant beasts have territorial boundaries.

Their small territory is a place that would take humans one or two days to cross.

The Giant Beast Kingdom is different.

That was a hunting ground artificially created by the Resentful Eater Snake; it could also be called their dining hall.

Therefore, the most exaggerated creatures they have seen so far, apart from those in the ocean, are the largest on land, excluding Lord Level creatures, found in the Giant Beast Kingdom.

The Giant-Clawed Lobster behind it Beasts Giant-Clawed Lobster, but because of its slender limbs, its width far exceeded that of those creatures.

Clad in armor and baring its fangs and claws, it looks far more intimidating than Beasts.

Do you think there are Lord?

"I can't believe it," asked Morel, who was on the run.

Kiy ran backwards, carefully observing the Giant-Clawed Lobster with its claws rushing towards him from behind.

"No, it's just that he's so big that he looks exaggerated, and his aura is entirely supported by his size."

"I think he's still at the Knight Rank."

Upon hearing this, the three who were running away breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good. At least this way, they'll have the mindset that even if they can't win, they can still escape.

They all stopped abruptly.

Stand still, ready to fight.

However, when they stopped and looked back, they realized that things were not quite what they had expected.

The Giant-Clawed Lobster did not chase after the Nen Beast used to distract it.

They did not continue to pursue them.

Instead, it stopped next to their Bonfire and clamped the huge Coconut Fruit with its tongs.

With a click.

Another giant pincer forcefully shaved a large hole in the top of the Coconut Fruit.

He turned and left.

You can see him walking along, seemingly drinking, pouring the opened Coconut Fruit into his mouth.

Another pair of pliers reached in and dug out some coconut meat.

"Hmm... it's a vegetarian?"

After a moment of silence, Kiy said this.

Morel shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe he thinks it's a waste of time to eat small fry like us."

After all, they're so small, it would take a while to catch them, and we might not even be able to replenish the energy we'd used up.

Most organisms still rely on body size to determine the level of threat posed by another organism.

The most intuitive and simplest.

After watching them leave, the group returned to their camp.

"Why bother coming all this way just to eat Coconut? These Coconut Tree may be huge, but they're not rare; they're everywhere. He could just pick them directly from the tree, couldn't he?"

Gon said somewhat unhappily, "I went through all that trouble to carry those Coconut Fruit back, and they were snatched away after I only took two sips."

However, fighting such a huge beast for this reason is still not worth the effort.

They honed their skills in the Giant Beast Kingdom, learning how to hunt them and which ones were easier to deal with.

The Giant-Clawed Lobster we just saw belongs to the more difficult category to handle.

With a total of six arthropod legs, it can run quite fast and may even be able to move laterally.

Needless to say, the power of those enormous pincers is beyond question.

Its hard carapace and exaggerated size mean that its electric shocks are not as effective as those used on other creatures.

If his attacks don't hit the vulnerable spots, they may not be very effective at breaking the behemoth.

After all, they were a team of four, and their roles were clearly defined.

Qi naturally relies on his speed and the paralyzing effect of lightning to work.

Gon has only one mission: to defeat the enemy head-on and with overwhelming force.

Morel is responsible for daily reconnaissance, control, and various combat support, as well as leading the team.

Bianluoke's responsibilities include support, transportation, and protection.

Gon is the only strong attacker.

If his charged punch fails to break through the opponent's defense, then running away is the only option left.

Furthermore, it's unknown whether this Giant-Clawed Lobster possesses any special abilities of its own.

Direct combat would be counterproductive.

After all, their primary responsibility is preliminary exploration and reconnaissance.

"Could it be because these Coconut Tree are too tall? Judging from the appearance of that Giant-Clawed Lobster, it should be clear that even if it tried its best, it might not be able to reach the Coconut from the Tree Top."

"With such an exaggerated size, it's impossible for them to climb Coconut Tree, right? So they can only get the Coconut Fruit after they fall."

Morel replied.

Upon hearing his words, everyone immediately realized the possibility, and upon closer examination, they concluded that it might indeed be true.

"However, this also means that while there might not be many creatures on this beach, there are definitely plenty of large ones. We need to be more careful this time."

After all, being big is impressive.

Humans have indeed suffered in this regard.

Just like that crab.

Could the four of them take down the opponent together? Perhaps they could use drugs or other methods to attack simultaneously.

In essence, they are on the same level of life.
