306 Rescue (2/2)
The nettings intertwined to form a huge net enveloping the entire shell.
”Pull!”
”Pull!”
The huge group began tugging and pulling the net.
With this huge strength, it finally stopped the giant shell from escaping as the water currents could not carry itself further.
”Go!”
The crab general waved its arm yet again and the group started to smash the shell repeatedly.
”How long would this take?”
At that moment, the shell opened slightly, a silhouette of an anxious-looking young lady carrying a pearl could be seen.
The crab general gave an irritated roar as he swung numerous large hammers on to the shell.
”Bam! Bam!”
The sound echoed like the muffled noise of thunder.
A crack appeared on the shell and the face of the shell lady inside turned pale at once. She raised her pearl and squealed, ”Stop!”
Immediately, a divine light appeared and swept away the water dwellers, however, it got blocked by the light from the crab general's body.
”Hehe…, you and I are both Qi Lake's deities. We are both under the jurisdiction of my master, Qi Lake Water God, how dare you think you have a technique that I do not know of?”
The crab general laughed out loud, ”Follow me back obediently and who knows the Water God might even pardon your crimes!”
”Dream on!”
The young lady bawled out, ”Grandpa Gui Zhong died because he obeyed you all!”
”Stubborn fool!”
The crab general snorted, although she was right and he indeed intended to do so, he was still slightly disgruntled being called out.
He immediately raised his hammer and gave yet another powerful smash.
”Bam!”
The lake tremored again as cracks spread across the shell.
”Haha… foolish girl, let's see where can you run to?”
The crab general gave a wicked grin as she saw the young lady gave a panic-stricken look.
However, just as he raised his hammer again, he felt a sudden change in the surrounding currents.
The originally calm lake bottom turned into a vortex as a whirlpool that kept sucking in the crustacean army appeared.
”This is… demonic magic? Who is saving this girl?”
The crab general's heart turned stone cold as he stared at the vortex.
Sure enough, in the eye of the vortex, there was a black fish swimming leisurely.
”Carp spirit? This seems very familiar!”
The crab general paused for a moment before he immediately questioned, ”Aren't you the carp who stole the Water God's treasure?”
At the same time, the shell lady trapped in the lake exclaimed, ”Brother Fang Yuan?”
”It is Luo Zhu!”
As expected, Fang Yuan was the one who came over.
Fang Yuan was surprised as he saw the shell and its shell lady had grown a lot.
”To cultivate till this level, it must be due to what I taught her, but then, what is with the divine light?”
Although Fang Yuan was bewildered, he did not begin recounting past events.
This was because the crab general's hammer was approaching his head.
”Haha… such is fate, I can't believe this black carp just walked into the trap willingly!”
The crab general's four arms began smashing in a flurry.
”He is merely a water general?”
Fang Yuan was disappointed at such, ”I still thought it would be a demon king…”
He swung its tail and, ”Bam!”
Under the loud noise, two hammers flew out.
”Ah… you!”
At that moment, the crab general then realised the black carp in front of him was different, its strange energy made him thought of running away.
Unfortunately, Fang Yuan's actions were much faster than his. Just as he was about to turn around, a fiery red sword essence pierced through his head and he burst into flames.
Flaming!
Under the flames, the initially golden crab cooked through and turned red.
”Oh, this crab looks delicious!”
Fang Yuan did not bother about the cooked crab general anymore and went to the shell. He summoned the sword essence and cut the colourful net into pieces as Luo Zhu appeared from inside.
”It's been so long since I met you, you have grown so much!”
As he gazed at Luo Zhu, he smiled and lightly knocked her head like he used to.
Luo Zhu was stunned from the events, tears welled up in the corner of her eyes and turned into pearls as they fell, ”You… are really big brother, sobs…, grandpa Gui Zhong has passed away…”
”What exactly happened? Also, why did you become a water deity?”
As Fang Yuan looked at the divine light on her body, he was astonished, he looked at the surrounding and added, ”This is not where we should be talking, let's go!”
He then grabbed a slightly golden talisman from the crab's cooked body.
”Yea, I will listen to you!”
Luo Zhu nodded obediently and gave unconditional trust to Fang Yuan.
