The Yeti Crab, stripped of its offensive capabilities, is now nothing more than a large plate. Its legs are gone, rendering it completely immobile.

Gu Xi squatted down and examined the plate, but couldn't find its eyes. However, the snowman crab seemed uncomfortable being stared at, and its large body began to spin.

Its movements resembled a flat-bottomed spinning top, startling Gu Xi as it spun. However, as it spun, its speed gradually decreased, and it eventually stopped.

It doesn't move much now, but it's still alive. You'd have to pry open its shell to kill it.

Gu Xi recalled the sharp spikes of the Shark King's Tooth and raised them high in her hand. The cold light on the spikes gleamed in the sunlight. She aimed at a point and thrust it down suddenly.

Bang—

The spikes pierced the Yeti Crab's hard shell, making a loud thud. The rebound of the shell made Gu Xi's forearm go numb.

The shell remained completely unharmed after the blow.

Gu Xi shook her numb arm. You should know that the basic attack of the Shark King's Fang spikes is 300 points. Now that she is holding the spikes, the total attack power is still added to her own attack power. However, the attack power of more than 400 points still couldn't break through the Snowman Crab's hard shell defense. It's too hard!

Gu Xi looked at the large plate and sighed helplessly. Originally, she hadn't planned to do this, but now she had no choice, since her attacks simply couldn't pry open the snowman crab's hard shell.

So she summoned the octopus and the shimmering rays and had them guard the spot. Now she needed to go back to the ship to prepare some things, and as for the roasted crab leg meat that the octopus had been carrying, she unceremoniously put it into her backpack.

Crab legs that smell so good and have so much meat must taste amazing!

The first thing Gu Xi did upon returning to the ship was to head straight to the kitchen to prepare various cooking tools, ingredients, and drinking water. Then she took a few Fire Essence pills as fuel. Suddenly, she realized that the snowman crab's body was on the floating ice. If the Fire Essence pills were taken, the floating ice would probably melt away. So she also needed to prepare some heat insulation materials.

There were still quite a few Ember Crystal bricks left, which would come in handy. Gu Xi thought to herself as she put the Ember Crystal bricks into her backpack.

After gathering everything, she returned to the ice floe. Seeing that the snowman crab was motionless, Gu Xi knew it was playing dead, so she ignored it and went about her own business.

First, she needed to build a huge, insulated furnace. It didn't need to be very tall, but the area had to be large enough. Gu Xi measured the size while laying the bricks. After a while, once the bricks were laid, she had the octopus move the snowman crab plate onto the ash crystal bricks.

And so, the Yeti Crab was carried sprawled out on its back by the octopus onto Jin Jing's makeshift stove. Then she would begin preparing the ingredients.

Who knows how long the Yeti Crab has lived to grow this big? It must be covered in parasites and bacteria. What she needs to do now is to disinfect and clean the Yeti Crab thoroughly before cooking.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Yeti Crab's shell is white with a few yellow streaks, making it look clean and pure; in reality, it's covered in a lot of dirt.

Gu Xi opened a bottle of strong liquor and poured it directly onto the plate of snowman crab. Although she didn't drink alcohol, the strong aroma of the liquor constantly assaulted her sense of smell.

Then Gu Xi took a rag and evenly applied a layer of liquor to the crab shells. For some reason, the crab shells, soaked in the strong liquor, became a bit more yellow. The crab legs and claws were not to be overlooked either; they had to be soaked in liquor first.

After completing the basic cleaning, Gu Xi took out a large brush and stared intently at the crab shell. Then, she began to scrub the snowman crab's shell with great effort.

You don't know until you brush it, and once you start, you're shocked. Black and yellow grime kept oozing out and flowing from the brush. Seeing this, Gu Xi felt a little nauseous, so she rinsed it with water first and then continued brushing the shell.
