Kacha! After consuming the demonic beast's spirit essence, Lu Xiaotian's attack power and speed had risen to a whole new level. At this time, how could the already severely injured ghost crab possibly withstand his attacks? First, the joint of the pair of giant pincers was severed by the halberd. The halberd extended to Gui Jie's abdomen and lifted, flipping Gui Jie's body upside down. The extremely sharp halberd pierced through the relatively vulnerable part of its abdomen.
Amidst the blood-curdling screams, Gui Jie suffered a fatal injury, its limbs heavily flung to the ground.
The strategy of concentrating their strength to kill one of them in one fell swoop worked. Next, facing the remaining two was a lot easier.
"We've been tricked, there are still a few ghost crabs coming from behind." Yu Zimo and the others had not yet recovered from the joy of killing a ghost crab when the situation took a sudden turn for the worse.
"These damn ghost crabs, they're so cunning. But they're not afraid of bursting themselves to death by surrounding us. Cui Liu, Jingyu. You guys block that one. Let's concentrate our strength and destroy the other one. " Zhou Yu said fiercely. Under the fierce entanglement of the other party, Chi Suo did not slow down in the slightest.
"That's exactly what I was thinking!" Those who dared to enter this place were not cowards. Yu Zimo stretched out his hand and pointed. Three azure blue swords, like three rays of blue light, from top to bottom, directly pierced through the abdomen of the ghost crab. Chi — —
The speed of the piercing was slightly slower. At this time, Lu Xiaotian's halberd struck Gui Jie's back. Under the force of both sides, the several flying swords controlled by Yu Zimo completely pierced into Gui Jie's body. The figures of the five ghost crabs behind could already be seen.
"Put in more effort!" Yu Zimo's first attack succeeded, so he didn't spare anyone. The first group of three Ghost Crabs that arrived were all extremely powerful. They had already killed a small team and obtained a complete victory. Because of the pursuit, they were separated for a while. At this moment, they just so happened to run into Lu Xiaotian's team. They thought that even if they couldn't kill them, with the defensive power of their shells, even if they couldn't defeat them, they would at least be able to protect themselves. At most, they would suffer a small loss. After all, it wasn't as if they hadn't seen the offensive power of human cultivators before. Therefore, they took it for granted. But who would have thought that Lu Xiaotian's team would have such a tacit understanding with each other? Concentrate on a single point to achieve a breakthrough.
Facing the encirclement of the four, the remaining one was frightened out of its wits. However, it was no longer easy for it to escape. Cui Liu and Zhou Yu repeated the same tactic of trapping their enemies. Lu Xiaotian's Square Sky Decorated Halberd heavily smashed onto the shell of the Ghost Shell. Yu Zimo controlled the three azure flying swords to merge into one and easily pierced through the Ghost Shell's abdomen.
"Despicable humans, you dare!" The Ghost Crab leader's eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he saw this. Of all his calculations, he didn't expect that Lu Xiaotian's team of five would be able to kill three of his clansmen in such a short period of time without one of them even making a move.
"Why wouldn't I dare? Could it be that I'm just going to stand here and wait for you to surround and kill me?" Zhou Yu retorted in annoyance. He stretched out his hand and pointed his Scarlet Flame Wolf-Tooth Mace forward.
"What's the point of talking so much? Retreat!" Yu Zimo said and retreated with Lu Xiaotian and the others. After a fierce battle, they killed three Deity Transformation Stage Ghost Crabs. Although the process was short, they still consumed some of their transcendence energy. There were already as many as five Deity Transformation Stage Ghost Shells on the other side. Their goal this time wasn't to fight the monsters here or to fight the other cultivators.
If their side had a clear advantage, they could just kill their way through. It was best to avoid a battle like this that seemed to be evenly matched.
"Let's chase after them!" a Deity Transformation Stage Ghost Crab said angrily.
"What's there to chase after? Are we really going to fight to the death with them? "the Ghost Crab leader scolded in annoyance.
"Are our clansmen going to die for nothing?" The one who shouted to chase after them was still furious.
"Of course they can't die for nothing. It's just that there are a lot of humans who entered the Ghost Shell's body this time. If we fight with the previous team and both sides suffer heavy losses, we can only wait to be killed when we encounter other humans later on. Although it's important to avenge our clansmen, we can't throw ourselves into the battle, "the Ghost Crab leader said." Later on, we'll find an opportunity to eat the weaker ones and avoid their main force. We'll just kill a few more humans and bury them with Jie Wu and the others. "
"You're right, leader." The other Ghost Crabs immediately nodded in agreement. After all, if they were to risk their lives to fight those humans who were not inferior to them for the sake of their dead clansmen, regardless of whether they won or lost, they wouldn't have a good ending.
"These Ghost Crabs are quite sensible." Cui Liu heaved a sigh of relief as she said that.
After escaping the threat of the Ghost Crabs, the group continued to search for Blood Moss. Finding Blood Moss meant finding the Ghost Shell's blood essence.
"Look, there's a patch of Blood Moss over there. It'll most likely be able to absorb a lot of Ghost Shell's blood essence! " Tao Jingyu's eyesight was quite good, and she excitedly pointed ahead. After searching for a dozen or so days, the group finally found a patch of Blood Moss in a relatively secluded place. It was about ten feet in size and was tightly attached to the Ghost Shell's fleshy walls. It was faintly emitting the scent of blood. From the looks of it, it was exactly the same as the Blood Fetus recorded in the records.
"Looks like we can get to work now." Lu Xiaotian and Tao Jingyu looked at each other and smiled. The two of them plucked out a small patch of Blood Moss at the same time and pressed their hands against the fleshy walls. Immediately, a surge of Ghost Shell's blood essence seeped out.
"Peng!" Two balls of Spirit Fire heated their respective pill furnaces. Lu Xiaotian and Tao Jingyu simultaneously opened their pill furnaces to refine pills. Yu Zimo, Zhou Yu, and Cui Liu stood at the periphery, guarding against any possible dangers. From time to time, they would look back excitedly, hoping that either Lu Xiaotian or Tao Jingyu would be able to refine pills.
Puff, puff … Not long after, a puff of black smoke rose from Lu Xiaotian's pill furnace. The reason was naturally because Lu Xiaotian's pill refining speed was much faster than Tao Jingyu's.
"Captain, is this Brother Lu really a Rank Two Pill King? Why do I feel like he's refining pills as if he's cooking? He doesn't even look at the Spirit Ingredients before throwing them into his pill furnace. "Zhou Yu didn't dare to disturb Lu Xiaotian and could only secretly transmit his voice to Yu Zimo.
Although Cui Liu wasn't as direct as Zhou Yu, her words were similar to Zhou Yu's.
"Brother Lu's pill refining speed has already slowed down. His pill refining habits have always been like this. I've seen him refine pills with my own eyes. He's definitely a Pill King and is much better than a normal Rank One Pill King. Especially his pill refining speed. However, I'm not sure if he's better than a Rank Two Pill King like Jingyu. "Yu Zimo secretly replied.
"But, although we brought a lot of Spirit Ingredients this time, we can't afford to waste too much of them. I admire Brother Lu, but the faster he refines pills, the faster the waste. Captain, don't you think we should allocate more resources to Guo Jingyu? "Zhou Yu probed. Cui Liu also felt that Zhou Yu's words made sense.
