When the sun set in the west, Xiao Bai had already fought with the big crab for more than a dozen rounds. The battle was very intense.
On the other side, Li Ming and others have collected a batch of crabs and moved them back to the cave. They are now busy catching the second wave. The river bank is full of crabs, and they are so happy to pick them up for free!
"You guys over there... please behave yourself... Not only do you not come to help, but you must at least leave some crabs for me!" During the break in the battle, Xiao Bai did not forget to shout loudly to Liming and the others.
When Xiao Bai first noticed a few people suddenly appearing behind her, she was a little nervous. After all, she had never encountered a human in this forest. Who knew if these people who suddenly appeared were normal people or infected and about to go crazy at any moment? But when she caught a glimpse of the three people who watched for a while and then began to frantically grab small crabs on the ground, Xiao Bai felt relieved.
After all, the infected people first targeted her as a living person, not the crabs on the ground with little meat!
Only a normal person would be so impatient for crabs!
"I say, at least I am helping you drag this big crab, right? Because we are all wanderers in the same world!" Xiao Bai waved the big crab away with a stick, and took the time to turn around and shout at Li Ming and the other two.
Li Ming and Li Hua looked at each other. They had already caught a lot of crabs, and this woman suddenly appeared and fought with the big crab for such a long time. It seemed that she had some skills. Since they were also in the mountains, it would be better to wait and see and not make enemies.
So Li Hua said, "Sure! By the way, this crab's shell is very hard. It's hard to break through its defense, but if you want to subdue it, you can just knock it over!"
Seeing Xiao Bai's breath gradually unstable, Li Hua didn't mind selling him for free because of the crabs he had picked up. After all, in this dangerous forest, having more powerful humans was a good thing for them.
"Thank you!"
Xiao Bai was also a little tired at this time. The sun was about to set, and the forest was even more dangerous in the dark night. It would be better to fight quickly!
So she held the stick horizontally and kept sweeping it towards the crab's belly.
The crab's claws pounded loudly, its small mouth spitting bubbles, and its claws swung like sledgehammers. Having been knocked over by Li Ming and the others before, the crab had learned from experience and instinctively used its claws to block the sweeping wooden stick. However, Xiao Bai's strength grew stronger each time, and even though the crab tried to block, it was eventually knocked to the ground by Xiao Bai's stick.
The next moment, Xiao Bai immediately pressed the entire stick horizontally on the belly of the crab, pressing the crab to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Li Ming and others immediately stepped forward, brought a few large rocks and smashed them on the crab's abdomen and eight legs, pressing the crab to the ground so that it could no longer turn over.
"Phew, I'm so tired~" Xiao Bai wiped the sweat from her forehead. Today was the most satisfying fight she'd ever had. Previously, when Teacher Li was teaching them staff techniques, he'd also had them practice in pairs, but since they were all classmates, they couldn't afford to kill with their moves, so they could only imitate the moves. That kind of practice was completely different from the intense, life-or-death battles of today, where constant concentration was paramount. Fortunately, Xiao Bai had recently practiced Shu Ling's staff techniques several times. Although they were a bit strenuous at first, she gradually mastered them through actual combat.
The fallen crab: So I'm just a free sparring partner?! I even bring my own dinner!
The little crabs all over the ground:······
"Awesome, sister!" Li Ming walked up to Xiao Bai familiarly and handed her a bag of crabs wrapped in large leaves and tied with straw ropes.
"Is that all?" Xiao Bai picked up the package and weighed it, estimating it to be more than three pounds. But three pounds of crab doesn't have much meat.
"Sister, I know it's because of your fight that held up the big crab that we have the chance to catch the small crabs, but it's not because there are so many of us, we also have more to eat." Li Ming stepped forward and said with a smile.
Xiao Bai raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Perhaps knowing he had taken advantage, Li Ming added, "It's getting dark. Sister, do you have a place to stay for the night? The nights in the mountains can be quite treacherous. If you don't mind, we have a cave where we can stay for the night."
Xiao Bai thought for a moment. Although it was dangerous to follow strangers to unfamiliar places, she had vines in her backpack. If there was any abnormality, it should not be a problem to ask the book spirit to help tie up a few people. Moreover, seeing that they only dared to pick up crabs on the periphery and did not dare to get close, it was estimated that their fighting power should not be high.
"Sorry to bother you." Xiao Bai walked to the side and picked up the backpack on the ground. The vines had shrunk to the size of a palm and crawled into the backpack at some point. The book spirit and the little squirrel quietly sneaked into the backpack when the three of them came over.
This was something they had agreed upon beforehand. The vines and book spirits would disguise themselves as ordinary vines and books in front of outsiders.
Songbao slid out of the backpack, climbed onto the stone where the big crab was pressed, and looked around curiously at the big crab under the stone.
"What about this?" Xiao Bai pointed at the large crab that was pinned down by a large rock. "Can we eat this? There's so much meat!"
Li Ming shrugged: "It seems we can't do anything about its shell!"
Xiao Bai was discouraged.
The group arrived at the cave where Li Ming and others were temporarily living before it became completely dark.
This was a natural bat cave, its entrance only one person tall and two people wide. Two huge stones stood on either side, and in the middle was a simple wooden door woven from branches and weeds. The entrance wasn't large, but about a meter inside, there was a large, oval-shaped cave. Further in, the cave gradually narrowed and became long, with no visible ceiling. Only the occasional sound of some animal's wings flapping could be heard from above.
