868 Hairy Crab, Don’t Run! (1/2)
Boop! Boop!
Stone spikes shot from the bridge, one after the other. They pierced through flesh, causing blood to spray everywhere.
Chilling screams rang out.
The oceanic species' experts were being run through. The stone spikes had a strange suction capability that allowed it to suck all the blood of those it pierced, and even the souls of the spikes' victims were swallowed. Those experts did not have a chance to run away.
The stone bridge connecting the two lands was akin to a greedy beast. It had absorbed the blood and souls of the oceanic species.
In the distance, Bu Fang continued eating Dragon Blood Rice with his fragrant stir-fried scallop meat. It tasted so good, and its aroma was great.
He took a sip of Frost Blaze Path-Understanding Brew, and this made him feel even more delighted.
Bu Fang gazed at the set of corpses that littered the stone bridge. The souls, spirits, and true energies in the corpses of the oceanic species' experts were all gone.
Honestly, those experts would have made good cooking ingredients, but without their souls, spirits, and true energies, as cooking ingredients, they were just trash.
When Bu Fang felt full, he stood up. After putting away the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife and Black Turtle Constellation Wok, he continued on his journey.
…
Amethyst Elder was moving incredibly fast, crossing the sky like a shooting star. His speed even caused sonic booms.
After crossing ten thousand rivers, he finally arrived at the Light Wind Empire.
At around ten thousand meters high in the air, a fine tear appeared in the void. It ripped open, and a figure emerged from within.
Amethyst Elder's hair was pointed upward like a stack of needles. His hands were clasped, and his eyes flickered like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, he turned into a beam of light, diving towards the Light Wind Empire.
He could sense the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk's aura down there.
When he landed, he walked through the bustling street, turning left and right at certain junctions. Eventually, he reached a quiet alley.
A moment after entering the small alley, Amethyst Elder spotted a restaurant—the only restaurant in that alley.
When he saw the restaurant, his eyes widened, and he sucked in a breath of cold air. This was because this restaurant looked exactly the same as the restaurant he saw in the Valley of Gluttony.
Why did both restaurants look exactly the same?
The restaurant was open for business, and people could be seen walking in and out. The atmosphere over there seemed extremely lively.
Amethyst Elder narrowed his eyes with curiosity. A moment later, he decided to enter the restaurant.
When he entered the restaurant, he found himself a seat, and a pretty, young girl walked over to take his order.
Amethyst Elder checked the menu without changing his expression. He really wanted to know how this restaurant differed from the other mysterious restaurant.
Hence, after ordering his food, he began to look around.
To be honest, this restaurant does not look strange.
However, when he decided to send out his mental energy, he was frightened to realize that it could not permeate the kitchen.
How could this be?!
Amethyst Elder's cultivation base had already reached an unfathomable level. After fusing with the demon eye from the Demon Eye Clan's Demon Lord, Amethyst Elder's cultivation base had advanced at a terrifying rate.
However, despite his current cultivation base, he couldn't see through the kitchen.
This left Amethyst Elder astonished. After a while, he perceived an aroma wafting out of the kitchen. Shortly after, Ouyang Xiaoyi came out with his food.
Amethyst Elder studied Ouyang Xiaoyi for a while. He even glanced at the kitchen once more. Then, he picked up his chopsticks and slowly enjoyed his meal.
However, he did not consider the dish to be anything special. To him, it was just so-so.
After all, he had eaten real delicacies during the Valley of Gluttony's Glutton God's Banquet.
Ouyang Xiaoyi was a little curious about this purple-haired man.
When she snapped out of her reverie only a moment later, she was startled to see that the purple-haired man's table was now vacant, and only a bag of crystals was left behind as payment. The man had already gone.
Amethyst Elder's long robe fluttered as he streaked across the sky.
He then headed towards the location of the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk, which he had sensed earlier.
He had just stopped by that restaurant only out of curiosity.
After eating a dish there, he decided to get straight down to business and destroy the Heavenly Star Catcher Disk.
…
Inside the big crystal mine
With his hands clasped, Bu Fang continued walking forward.
Heat continuously emanated from the ground as lava continued to surge and boil above.
Bu Fang ate the stir-fried scallop in his hands while walking. He could still perceive the aroma of that mysterious dish.
The smell was so good that he would not get angry if he had to continue smelling it for a long time.
The farther Bu Fang walked, the more astonished he became. This was because he had realized that the energy in the air got thicker as he advanced.
This place was still within the Southern Region. However, the spirit energy here was much thicker than he had ever expected. It seemed quite strange.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Exuberant noises rang out from an area far ahead.
While shoving cubes of stir-fried scallop into his mouth, which left his lips oily, Bu Fang dashed towards the source of the noise, where he assumed a battle was taking place.
A moment later, he arrived and saw that a battle was indeed taking place. It was a battle between experts of the oceanic species' and the demon scorpion race.
These experts had assumed their real forms, and they were fighting on a vast, empty land. Crushed rocks and dust kept soaring into the air.
Amidst the chaos, there was something glowing in a visually captivating manner.
Bu Fang watched events unfold while chewing his food. He found out that the glowing object was actually a token, which was made of the best quality crystal.
It looked like the experts of the oceanic species and demon scorpion race were vying for that token.
It was a giant crab fighting against a giant demon scorpion. Their death-or-life combat looked funny, though.
Bu Fang observed from a distance. He was not in no hurry to join the battle.
Those two were at the Divine Soul Realm and had almost reached the Almighty Realm. They weren't weaker than the leader of the water scorpion tribe, who Bu Fang had beaten up.
Their battle had caused a commotion.
The crab from the oceanic species wasn't really big. In fact, it was smaller than the demon scorpion. The demon scorpion was around three meters tall, while the crab was just around one meter. This did not factor in its two huge claws.
These claws made the crab look even more frightening than the demon scorpion.
Bu Fang watched them excitedly.
They both seemed evenly matched, and for the time being, neither of them could defeat the other.
Bu Fang just watched from afar. He had no intention to disturb them. No matter what, they were from the species with pincers, so he could only let them fight.
