868 Hairy Crab, Don’t Run! (2/2)
His Vermillion Robe fluttered gently. Soon, Bu Fang began to walk towards them at a leisurely pace.
With bloodshot eyes, the crab and the demon scorpion fought each other crazily. None of them had detected Bu Fang.
Bu Fang sauntered through the area where the monsters were fighting, heading towards the token.
The glowing token seemed to have some moving symbols on it.
Bu Fang furrowed his brows. Everything in this deep hole seemed mysterious, and he found them somewhat bizarre.
He glanced behind momentarily and saw that the demon scorpion was still engaged in a bloody battle against the crab. He then raised his hand and grabbed the token.
The moment he touched the token, a torrent of mysterious information rushed into his brain from it.
Bu Fang's eye glowed instantly. After that, a map appeared in his mind.
Suddenly, Bu Fang felt his mind travel ten thousand miles away in just a blink of an eye. He saw something in the distance.
It was a great lake.
The rippling water of the lake was blood-red, and an imposing bronze palace was situated on it. In front of the palace, two massive, ancient black boats were anchored.
Swish.
Everything then disappeared.
Bu Fang pulled himself together as he was feeling a little dazed.
This token was the key. He believed that the palace he had seen was located somewhere in the world within this massive pit.
However…
Why did that bronze palace and the two ancient black boats look so familiar?
Bu Fang immediately remembered where he had seen them…
Suddenly, he frowned. The commotion had ceased, and sounds of fighting could no longer be heard.
Bu Fang was bewildered.
A moment later, huge shadows loomed over him.
Swish.
Something ripped through the air. A scorpion's tail streaked towards Bu Fang!
”Lowly human insect! You dared to trick us?! Die!”
The giant demon scorpion and the crab had stopped fighting. Their cold gazes were now fixed on Bu Fang.
They had been fighting for that token, but someone decided to steal it when their backs were turned. Unforgivable!
”Indeed, humans are all cunning and evil! Must be killed!” The giant crab's mandibles moved as it bellowed.
Boom!
Bu Fang's figure flickered and turned into a silhouette as he vanished.
His afterimage was torn apart by the demon scorpion's tail. The tail pierced through the ground, making a deep hole.
Bu Fang landed far away from them. Holding the jade token, he expressionlessly stared at the giant crab and the demon scorpion.
Weren't they just having a dogfight over there? Why did they stop?
The crab and the demon scorpion charged at him.
”Dare to run?!” the demon scorpion roared.
”Brother Crab, use your claw to smash that human!” yelled the demon scorpion.
”Brother Scorpion, you're right! We must eradicate these despicable humans!”
The oceanic species' crab crawled rapidly, and suddenly, it leaped into the sky. With its pincers wide open, it was intent on reaching Bu Fang.
The crab and the demon scorpion had the same goal now.
Bu Fang was a little speechless.
Had these two buddies come here to do comedy?
Bu Fang didn't want to waste his time, though. The image of that bronze palace appeared in his mind, giving him a strange but familiar feeling.
He pulled out the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife.
His true energy surged into the knife, and a dragon's roar reverberated all around as dragon might rose out of it.
The Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife grew in size rapidly, then Bu Fang placed it on his shoulders. He gripped the knife's handle with both hands, then took a deep breath.
After that, he dashed toward the giant crab and the demon scorpion.
The roar of a golden dragon pierced the sky.
The giant crab trembled, and the demon scorpion's tail stopped in midair. The latter's lantern-like eyes opened wide, looking at Bu Fang in fright.
The surging knife energy condensed into a formidable blade.
Irresistible!
Swoosh!
The demon scorpion was instantly cut in half as the arachnid's shell couldn't withstand the Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife's Overlord Thirteen Blades.
The huge crab was dumbstruck.
Seeing the demon scorpion get split in half in just one slash, the crab trembled, causing its giant pincers to shiver.
Are humans this brutal nowadays?!
So scary!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Without the slightest bit of hesitation, the crab moved all its legs and began fleeing the scene.
As that human could halve the demon scorpion with one strike, there was no doubt it could do the same to it too.
So, if it didn't run now, when should it run then?!
Farewell, Brother Scorpion. We won't meet again…
As Bu Fang watched the crab flee with all its might, the corners of his mouth twitched.
”How lively is that crab?! Really good… It must be a good cooking ingredient then.”
Bu Fang grinned, putting the token into his system dimensional bag. He swung his huge kitchen knife over his shoulder before running after the crab.
”Hairy crab! Don't run!”
Steamed hairy crab… was the best.
