Given the Yeti Crab's size, even a sudden attack wouldn't cause Gu Xi any harm, but it was activating its second mental skill at this moment.

Have you ever seen a crab's claw detach from its body? Normally, it certainly wouldn't, but this is a new world, and it doesn't seem out of the ordinary for a Yeti crab's large claw to detach from its body.

Gu Xi hadn't expected the Yeti Crab to have a backup plan after she used mental restraint. Moreover, judging from its detached claws, it was clear that its claws could move independently.

Gu Xi manipulated the spikes, quickly ascended into the air to set up a mental defense shield, and raised his hand to throw out a mental binding skill to restrain the Yeti Crab's main body.

She then tried to control the crab claws with mental restraint, but the mental restraint was ineffective.

Gu Xi remained unfazed and immediately adjusted his strategy, raising his hand to manipulate the spikes.

Although the spikes can be manipulated with her mind, she can make them fly faster when she controls them manually, a new effect she discovered during her training.

whoosh—

Gu Xi manipulated the spikes to collide with the crab claws, producing a crisp sound, and the hard objects struck each other, sparking intensely.

Then the smell of burnt hair reached Gu Xi's nose.

Gu Xi narrowed her eyes; she could guess that it was the smell of burnt hair on the crab claws. It was just a pity that she had dyed the snowman crab's hair earlier, so it wasn't noticeable now.

However, the opponent only has two claws, while she has 32 sharp spines. By any measure, she has more and is more advantageous. Even if she has claws that can break free from their restraints, it won't have much impact on the battle.

Without hesitation, Gu Xi used his mind to command the other spikes to attack the Yeti Crab's main body.

She is now manipulating the two spikes in both directions at high speed, while the other spikes can also move, but their speed and power are greatly reduced.

The spikes, controlled by the mind, pierced towards the Yeti Crab's body, but the Yeti Crab's shell defense was extremely strong, and the spikes were deflected directly.

Gu Xi frowned: The attack was ineffective?

However, not being able to pierce through isn't a problem, as long as the armor is broken. The attack power of the coral steel spikes is simply not enough, and in the current stage of the battle, Gu Xi basically only uses them as a backup, and she doesn't use them anymore unless there are special circumstances.

Gu Xi retracted the two spikes and replaced them with coral steel spikes, which she then used to attack the Yeti Crab's main body.

For some unknown reason, the coral steel spikes shattered into pieces the moment they touched the Yeti Crab.

Gu Xi was also surprised to see this, as this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

Under normal circumstances, a weapon will not be directly shattered unless its durability is exhausted, unless the opponent has some special talent or skill.

However, there isn't much time left for Gu Xi to conduct research now. The current situation is far from optimistic.

The Yeti Crab is already a formidable opponent due to its speed and stealth ability, but now it not only boasts extremely strong defense but can also detach from its claws to fight independently. Its body is impervious to attacks, and its claws are immune to control, making it quite difficult to deal with.

The potions she can currently use in combat are burning, blood-draining, and paralysis. Blood-draining potions can't break through her defenses, and they're practically useless. Paralysis is similar to mental binding, so it can be ruled out. Burning potions might have some effect. Since she can't think of a solution for the time being, she'll just have to give up trying.

Gu Xi took out a flammable spray from his backpack, uncapped it, and poured it onto the crab claws. The spray hit its mark precisely, and instantly, the hairs on the crab claws emitted a strong, foul odor.

However, even so, it did not affect its attack in the slightest.
