Chapter 10: too brutal
The earthquake was violent, and within a moment, the ground beneath Cang Hai's feet could no longer hold up.
Xiao Yu clearly heard the tearing sound one after another, as if the earth was moaning in despair, getting more and more intense.
He hurriedly got off Cang Hai so as not to drag him down.
He picked up the lost Cui Li conveniently, if the ground really cracked and the sand and stones fell, I am afraid that this Cui Li would not be found.
"Xiao Yu, hold my hand tightly." Cang Hai's tone was unprecedentedly dignified, "Quick!"
As soon as the words fell, monstrous waves swept in, and the worst happened. The earthquake triggered a tsunami, and a disaster was inevitable.
Xiao Yu who heard the order didn't dare to neglect, he held Cang Hai's palm tightly, and then he was picked up horizontally by the other party, and retreated towards the land.
Lying on Cang Hai's shoulder, he can clearly see that the turbulent sea is greedily engulfing the sandy ground it passes by, just now it just covered Cang Hai's ankle, but now it has climbed up to his knee .
Xiao Yu only hated himself for being unable to help because he had a long tail. He wanted to lighten Cang Hai's burden, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Let me go down, I'm a mermaid, how can there be any reason why mermaids are drowned by the sea?"
Cang Hai was more worried: "Animals are sensitive to natural disasters, especially exotic animals. What do earthquakes and tsunamis mean, do I need to say more?"
Xiao Yu's heart trembled, the earth was in turmoil, mountains and rivers were broken, those strange beasts must be affected and become frantic and restless.
A black-bearded octopus is so difficult to deal with. If they are unlucky enough to encounter several strange beasts at the same time, how can they have a chance of survival?
The more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.
First, the large seawater in front of him bubbled up, and then, a group of strange beasts in solid armor rose from the ground.
They were covered with hard carapaces, and the sand brought up by the sea water was washed into sand blocks, which adhered to them, adding a tinge of earthy yellow color to their monotonous armor.
Xiao Yu described what he saw to Cang Hai.
"It's a sand crab." The well-informed Cang Hai immediately recognized this strange beast.
Sand crabs lie on the sand all year round. Unlike most exotic animals, their food requirements are very small.
The nutrients in the sand are enough to sustain their lives, so they are even less willing to waste their energy on hunting.
But it doesn't mean that their hunting ability is not strong. On the contrary, sand crabs like to live in groups. Once they are provoked, they will bear the anger of their entire group. The fighting power of a group of sand crabs is comparable to those of the strange beasts at the top of the pyramid.
Right now, although they didn't provoke the sand crabs, the group of sand crabs that were harassed by the tsunami and earthquake didn't care about it, and they all settled the blame on the creatures seen by the pair of compound eyes above their heads.
Cang Hai and Xiao Yu unfortunately became the target of the sand crab group's hatred.
Each of the seven-headed sand crabs is as tall as a two-story building, even if it is as strong as the sea, there is a trace of anxiety about not being able to attack.
He also tried to avoid the fight, but his running speed was already slightly slower than the sand crab, and coupled with the knee-high resistance of the sea water, it was almost impossible to outrun the sand crab.
"They are catching up." Xiao Yu's voice trembled slightly.
It's a good thing that crabs are big, but if they get this big, I'm afraid they will turn from the food channel to the horror channel.
Cang Hai sighed softly, as expected he still couldn't escape.
He stopped in his tracks, and squeezed out a low growl of fighting spirit from his throat: "Fight!"
Xiao Yu originally wanted to get off Cang Hai's back so as not to affect Cang Hai's battle, but was blocked by Cang Hai: "Little mermaid, would you like to join me?"
He didn't want to run away, even if there were alien beasts attacking him, he would never call for help and disturb Cang Hai.
Unexpectedly, the other party asked him if he would like to be together.
Fight side by side together, live and die together.
He is willing, without Cang Hai, he would have no idea where he died: "I insist on what I want, I dare not ask for it."
Cang Hai asked him what he meant, Xiao Yu thought it was the same, since it is the interstellar era, classical Chinese may no longer be a compulsory course for students.
Xiao Yu hugged Cang Hai's neck tightly, using actions instead of answers.
Cang Hai smiled and promised softly: "We will all survive, trust me."
"I believe."
There was never a single moment of doubt.
"Wow—"
Under Cang Hai's instruction, Xiao Yu launched an energy ball into the sea water, and the energy ball exploded immediately, and the explosive explosion caused thousands of waves.
The sand crabs stretched out their giant claws for defense. Compared with their hard carapace, their eyes are vulnerable.
The water curtain dissipated, Cang Hai and Xiao Yu disappeared.
The strange pair of compound eyes on the top of the sand crab's head turned around, as if wondering where the enemy had gone.
Just as they were searching, the sand crab at the back of the group let out a whine, and then its huge body fell to the ground with a crash, even its eyes lost their luster.
The sudden loss of a companion caused a slight disturbance in the group of sand crabs. They looked around alertly, trying to find the enemy who attacked them.
Cang Hai skillfully took advantage of the height difference between the sand crab and him, always hiding in the blind spot of the sand crab's vision, and finally let him seize the opportunity to hit a sand crab again with his sword.
Seven to two, the sand crab group no longer dare to underestimate the small humans and mermaids in their eyes.
They gathered together in one place, and the carapaces on their backs touched each other, forming a consistent external formation.
Although Cang Hai succeeded in sneak attack, causing the sand crab group to lose half of their fighting power, it also exposed the whereabouts of himself and Xiao Yu.
The sand crab uses its six claws together, chasing towards them, the speed is not uncomfortably fast.
But Xiao Yu was faster than them, and when the energy ball came out of the chamber, the splashes aroused helped them hide their stature again.
The sand crab group found that they had lost sight of humans and mermaids again, and had to gather together again.
Who would have thought that Cang Hai had expected their actions long ago, and with Xiao Yu's help, sneaked under the feet of the sand crabs, and instead took full advantage of their formation.
The back-to-back groups of sand crabs never imagined that the Canghai they were looking for was hiding behind their thick crab shells and waiting for an opportunity.
Time passed by, and the sand crab always maintained the five-pointed star formation with his companions.
Cang Hai has not appeared for a long time, which makes them vigilant and at the same time adds a bit of doubt. The omnipotent sand crabs would never expect to be crushed by humans. They can't wait to smash their enemies into thousands of pieces to avenge their companions, but they are also afraid that the next one will be killed. It was the one who killed it, and the entire sand crab group was filled with an atmosphere of anger and fear.
This is what Cang Hai wanted.
After calculating the time, according to Xiao Yu's description, he accurately and neatly cut off the legs and legs of the most powerful sand crab.
The head of the sand crab, which suddenly lost three right legs, fell uncontrollably to the right. The pain made it lose its mind in an instant, and the crab claws angrily smashed into the sea water.
It's a pity that Cang Hai and Xiao Yu had already taken advantage of the chaos to lurk, how could they be foolishly waiting to be attacked by sand crabs.
The battlefield has become confusing again, the difference is that the leader of the sand crab has broken three legs, and he can only walk with crab claws instead of feet, and his speed is greatly reduced.
There were also different voices inside the sand crab group.
The leader of the sand crab let out a roar, and it was about to make the attackers pay the price!
However, with the loss of three legs, its strength has been greatly reduced, and its position in the group is no longer as stable as it used to be.
On the surface, the sand crabs did not openly resist, but they were all thinking about how to get their heads instead.
This time Cang Hai's hiding place is even more tricky, actually hiding between the remaining three legs of the leader of the sand crab.
The sand crab's appearance was covered by a hard carapace, even though Cang Hai held on to the crab's legs, the head of the sand crab didn't feel it.
In addition, the leader of the sand crab lost three legs, and the way of walking has changed, so even if it is more difficult to lift the legs than before, it will not immediately arouse its suspicion.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but praise Cang Hai silently in his heart. Cang Hai's combat quality and treacherous tactics really opened his eyes. Cang Hai seemed to be born for fighting. He can always use the shortest time to find a breakthrough in the battle , and put them into practice one by one.
Even if you can't see it with your eyes.
Xiao Yu has also read many descriptions of battles in the original novels, but he feels that even the famous battle of the protagonist Gu Xijiao is not as exciting as Cang Hai's battle.
He admits that he is wearing a filter, but people's hearts are inherently biased, and he doesn't know the surname Gu, nor have he met other people in this world, so he naturally feels that Cang Hai is all good and omnipotent.
The battle is still going on, and Xiao Yu dare not relax for a moment.
After firing two charged energy balls, only three lights on the energy gun remained on, which meant that he could fire three charged energy balls, or six uncharged ones.
And five sand crabs survived.
Although the leader of the sand crab had lost half of his fighting power, his strength was still not to be underestimated. He had no doubt that the huge crab claws could knock his skull out.
Unless every subsequent energy ball can help Cang Hai kill two sand crabs, their crisis will still not be resolved.
At worst, one has to be killed every time, leaving behind the disabled leader and another sand crab to have a chance of winning.
But Cang Hai obviously didn't intend to do this, he didn't even want to waste an energy ball.
It was used to save the little mermaid's life, and it has used up two bars of energy, so it can't be used any more.
What's more, there is no need.
Cang Hai climbed up the spine-covered feet of the head of the sand crab, and he didn't know when he had an arm-length black-barbed octopus tentacles in his hand. He shot like lightning, and he threw the tentacles to the compound eyes of another sand crab.
At the same time, the giant claws of the leader of the sand crab also fell, and the landing place happened to be the compound eyes of the sand crab.
Needless to say the lethality of the giant claws, the sand crab's compound eyes were not protected by a shell, and they exploded instantly under the attack of the leader of the sand crab, even the shell at the top was dented.
The injured sand crab howled in pain, and the severe pain aroused its viciousness. Even if it knew that the leader had accidentally injured it, the pair of crab claws with full combat effectiveness fought back in an instant.
The two sand crabs suddenly turned against each other, and the remaining three sand crabs looked at each other at a loss.
The earthquake stopped at some point, and the sand crabs quickly returned to their cages after being disturbed and repeatedly frustrated by their companions. After confirming that the two sides in the battle had become mortal enemies, they decided to leave by themselves without helping each other.
As for revenge?
Humans and mermaids together don’t have much meat. Sand crabs don’t have a high demand for food. The nutrients contained in the sand are enough to support their survival. Why risk your life hunting?
Laziness is indeed lazy, and fear is also true fear.
They don't want to die or get hurt like their companions.
The battle between the leader of the sand crab and the one-eyed sand crab finally ended with the victory of the one-eyed sand crab.
The importance of the legs to the sand crab is self-evident. Without one side of the legs, the leader of the sand crab can only stand still and be beaten. In the end, even the crab shell was smashed, and he died unwillingly at the hands of his subordinates.
The one-eyed sand crab didn't get any cheap, two of its six legs were broken, and its claws were also pinched off by Qi Gen. Before it could celebrate its victory, it was sent away by Cang Hai, who had been dormant for a long time.
So, so brutal!
In Xiao Yu's eyes, the admiration for Cang Hai seemed real, he heard the sound of swallowing his saliva, and looked at Cang Hai's puzzled expression, so he opened his mouth to find an excuse: "How can I finish eating so many crabs!"
The author has something to say:
Sand Crab: My God, there are dirty things in this sea!
