Chapter 69 Sapphire Giant Crab Swarm
Chen Qing wasn't sure; she still knew too little about this world.
Perhaps she should go to the Treasure Sea and buy some books to broaden her knowledge.
However, the most urgent task at present is to kill these giant armored crabs.
The giant crab's characteristics are high attack and high defense, so high speed is ineffective against Chen Qing.
Moreover, they only have high defense, not high health, which means they are fragile.
This also means that they are simply sitting ducks for Chen Qing. Once his defenses are breached, these giant armored crabs are no threat at all.
The black knife Chen Qing carried was not suitable for use underwater, so she grabbed a sea monster bone and slammed it heavily into the young giant crab that was charging towards her.
The giant armored crab in its juvenile stage is only rated G in strength, making it easy for Chen Qing to deal with.
With just that one strike, a crack appeared in its shell.
The sea beast bone that Chen Qing casually picked up was the bone of a C-grade Frost Giant Lizard. Using it to break open the Giant Armored Crab was an easy task.
Their so-called high defense is only relative.
A crack appeared on the back of the young giant crab, and it immediately lost its ability to fight.
Chen Qing grabbed the protruding spikes on its body and quickly smashed it a second time, instantly killing the young giant crab.
With the cubs dead, the adult giant crabs remained motionless, cautiously observing Chen Qing. Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Qing directly listed the giant crabs on the trading platform at an extremely high price.
Chen Qing has turned the trading platform into a kind of spatial prop.
Speaking of this, Chen Qing needs to hurry up and finish making the space distortion bracelet.
It's really inconvenient not having any spatial props.
The giant crabs didn't move, but Chen Qing didn't think they had given up attacking her.
If they were giving up, they should have withdrawn; instead, they still firmly surrounded Chen Qing within a certain area.
Suddenly, the giant armored crab behind Chen Qing burst out of the sand, waving its pincers, which were larger than Chen Qing herself, and tried to pinch her.
The movement was extremely swift; Chen Qing could even hear the sound of air being cut through.
The giant crab's strength is terrifying; if Chen Qing were to be pinched, he would be instantly split in two.
The attack by the giant armored crabs behind Chen Qing seemed to be a signal for an offensive, with a large number of giant armored crabs emerging from the sand and launching an attack on Chen Qing.
Chen Qing's movements were extremely agile; he was as nimble underwater as he was on the surface.
With a quick movement of her legs, she narrowly slipped through the gaps in the pincers and jumped onto the back of a giant crab, slamming her fist into its shell.
The giant crab was jolted, almost knocked flat on the sand, and ripples spread across the sand below.
As Chen Qing attacked the giant crab, another giant crab immediately raised its pincers and viciously clamped down!
Chen Qing sprang to his feet and swam swiftly to the belly of the giant crab in front of him.
The giant crab that Chen Qing hammered was unlucky; its shell was broken open by its own kind, and its crab roe spilled out.
If that's crab roe.
However, the giant crab that Chen Qing is now using as a refuge is not so lucky, as Chen Qing has installed five mechanical spider bombs on its abdomen.
The mechanical spider's sharp claws pierced its carapace, causing it to explode with a bang.
Even though the mechanical spiders are less powerful underwater, these giant armored crabs, whose strength is only around F-rank, still cannot easily stop them.
Numerous mechanical spider bombs emerged from Chen Qing's pocket and took root on the nearest giant armored crab.
Explosions came one after another, the enormous impact sending the sea monster bones flying far away.
Chen Qing set his sights on the leader of this group of giant armored crabs, a Royal Sapphire Giant Armored Crab with E-level strength.
Its status is different from other giant crabs; even its name is prefixed with the title "Royal."
The Royal Giant Crab also set its sights on Chen Qing, and the two faced off. Facing the Giant Crab, which was dozens of times larger than himself, Chen Qing showed no fear.
Holding a sea monster bone, Chen Qing rushed forward, the bone breaking through the water as he swung it and smashed it against the giant armored crab.
This royal giant crab lived up to its name, lifting its pincers to seize the sea monster's bones and easily breaking them in two.
Flying bone fragments grazed Chen Qing's cheek, and strands of hair near his ear snapped off and fell onto the sand.
Strands of blood kept oozing from the wound, quickly dissolving into the seawater.
The enormous giant crab before us had a pair of very bright, deep blue eyes that were clearly visible even at such a deep sea level.
The giant armored crabs behind Chen Qing all collapsed under the power of the mechanical spider, lying on the sand, almost lifeless.
A faint stinging sensation came from the wound on her face. Looking at the giant crab in front of her, Chen Qing no longer saw it as a sea monster, but as a delicious crab dish.
Chen Qing gripped the sea monster bones that the mechanical spider bombs had brought over and flew towards the giant armored crab.
The giant crab was also extremely fast, kicking up shoals of mud and sand on the seabed, making only the faint afterimages of the person and the crab visible.
Chen Qing swung the beast bone in his hand continuously, each strike hitting the giant armored crab's claw joints precisely.
However, the giant crab failed to touch Chen Qing in the slightest; its claws showed signs of breaking.
It is indeed highly resistant, but that doesn't mean it has no weaknesses.
Sensing the threat, the giant crab immediately tried to burrow into the sand to escape, but Chen Qing made a leaping, heavy blow that pinned it firmly to the sand.
Once it's associated with Chen Qing, it can't escape.
The giant crab thrashed its body frantically, even ramming against the rocks on the seabed, but still couldn't shake off Chen Qing.
He punched the carapace repeatedly until cracks appeared. Following the seam, Chen Qing pried open the exceptionally hard carapace.
The glistening crab meat inside seemed to radiate a delicious glow.
However, its crab roe—no, it should be crab blue—is blue, and I don't know if it's poisonous.
The black knife plunged into the giant crab's body and stirred, causing the light in the royal giant crab's eyes to gradually disappear.
On the dark, deep-sea sand, lay a large number of lifeless giant armored crabs. Chen Qing bent his legs and sat on the back of one of the giant armored crabs, his breathing slightly rapid.
We can't stay here long; their scent will soon attract other sea creatures.
Chen Qing steadied his breathing and immediately began cleaning up the battlefield, leaving the seemingly bottomless abyss with a large number of sea beast bones and a pile of giant armored crabs.
Not long after Chen Qing left the seabed, another group of treasure-hunting fish followed the scent and came over.
Unfortunately, Chen Qing had already left, but a few giant crabs remained in the sand.
This was specially left behind by Chen Qing.
The treasure-hunting fish immediately started fighting over the sapphires in their eyes!
After they finished fighting, Chen Qing had already returned to the ship and set sail back to Sapphire Island.
We're having a crab feast today.
