Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Slaying the Crab Demon, a Soul Treasure
SHHNK!
The incomparably sharp Frost Thorn Spear.
It transford into a blurry silver thread, invisible to the naked eye, and tore through the air!
In an instant, it crossed dozens of zhang and struck the giant spider crab with pinpoint accuracy!
BANG!
Like a red-hot iron poker stabbing into a block of ice, the silver spear easily pierced the giant spider crab’s carapace, embedding itself deep inside!
A web of cracks spread across the crab’s carapace, and a pale white fluid gushed out!
Despite the grievous wound, the giant spider crab remained motionless, like a piece of dead wood.
Soul Suppressing!
It was still under the stunning effect of Soul Suppressing!
Su Ye had not been idle these past few years!
By accumulating experience day by day, he had raised his [Tide Hunter] class to Lv. 7.
And his Soul Suppressing trait had also been strengthened to MAX!
It was an imnsely powerful crowd control effect with priority, one that the giant spider crab struggled to break free from, despite its powerful soul.
"Good! Dragon Breath Array, maximum output!"
"Bing Fire Divine Thunder, fire at will!" Su Ye’s eyes seed to burn with fire.
The captain gave the order.
The Dragon Breath Array, which had been operating at twenty percent power to clear out the small fry, instantly went to full throttle!
BOOOOM!!!
The brass cannons roared, unleashing crimson bolts of divine thunder, each as thick as a water bucket!
The Bing Fire Divine Thunder washed over the giant spider crab like a tide, leaving large scorch marks on its carapace.
"HISS!"
At that mont, it finally broke free from the Soul Suppressing effect and saw the dire situation it was in.
The giant spider crab’s Demon Power surged, and it let out a heart-wrenching roar!
Along with the roar, an invisible wave of Spiritual Power, like a hurricane, swept across the deck of the Ghostly Flood Dragon!
ntal Storm!
More than half the crew turned pale, their heads feeling as if they’d been struck by a hamr. They staggered and fell to their knees, vomiting!
The remaining crew mbers also looked terrible, a needle-like pain piercing their minds and making it difficult to operate the brass cannons.
The crimson light of the Bing Fire Divine Thunder abruptly ceased.
The heavily injured giant spider crab began to crawl toward its lair, dragging several limbs that were barely attached!
As long as it could escape back to its lair on Golden Plate Island, it could use the narrow terrain and the connection to the underground river...
—it would be invincible!
"Hmph? You think you can escape?!"
Su Ye bit the tip of his tongue, and clarity swiftly returned to his eyes!
Compared to last ti,
his cultivation was now higher, and his resistance was stronger!
And as the captain, Su Ye possessed an even more expensive and rare Soul-Calming Treasure.
anwhile, the giant spider crab had first been suppressed by Soul Suppressing, then grievously wounded by the Bing Fire Divine Thunder.
Furthermore, the ntal Storm it had unleashed covered nearly a hundred people on the ship, so its control over a single target was inevitably reduced.
With its power diminished and his own enhanced, Su Ye broke free from the crab’s ntal control in just a mont!
Then,
without hesitation, he raised his hand again.
BZZZT!
A high-grade Magical Artifact spear appeared in his hand!
"Whale-Hunting Spear!"
Activating the Whale-Hunting Spear for the second ti in such a short period sent an indescribable wave of exhaustion and soreness through Su Ye’s entire body.
But Su Ye ignored it. His expression unchanging, he resolutely threw the spear!
SHHNK!
The despair-inducing Soul Suppressing effect activated once more!
The giant spider crab’s body froze, and the ntal control it was emitting was also interrupted by Soul Suppressing!
"Snap out of it! Fire at will!"
Su Ye’s voice, amplified by Gang Qi, bood like a great bell, waking the dazed crew mbers.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
After fleeing a re dozen ters, the giant spider crab was once again engulfed by Bing Fire Divine Thunder!
Under the bombardnt of thunder and fire, its movents beca increasingly sluggish.
Finally, it stopped moving. A charred carcass collapsed to the ground.
"Continue!"
Su Ye’s expression was grim as he spat out a single word.
He had to make sure that this giant spider crab, with its extraordinary bloodline and bizarre abilities, was well and truly dead!
Even if it ant losing so of the spoils.
’It’s fine. The Sea Successor Remains are indestructible. Even Tier-2 attacks can’t leave a scratch on them.’
’It’s a bit of a sha to waste the flesh and blood of this unique beast.’
’But... compared to upgrading to a Tier-2 spirit ship and securing my path to Foundation Establishnt, these resources are nothing!’
Su Ye’s gaze was clear as he cut off his greedy thoughts.
「After the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea.」
The Dragon Breath Array ceased, and the Bing Fire Divine Thunder dissipated.
On the shoal, the charred remains of the giant spider crab lay on the ground, its limbs completely severed and its body blown to pieces.
Clearly, it was utterly dead!
The Ghostly Flood Dragon lowered a small boat. Su Ye and a few crew mbers disembarked to search the remains.
The carapace on the giant spider crab’s head was completely carbonized.
Only the pebble-sized Sea Successor Remains still shimred with a magnificent, ethereal blue light!
With a flash in his eyes, Su Ye used his Magical Power to grab it, instantly pulling it into his Storage Pouch!
Sea Successor Remains, acquired!
’Finally... I’ve got it!’
Su Ye felt a weight lift from his heart, as if a great stone had been removed.
His long-planned, critically important objective was finally achieved!
On such a joyous occasion, even soone with Su Ye’s composure couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitent!
After all, aside from the Sea Successor Remains, Su Ye had already gathered all the other common materials.
These common materials, such as spirit wood and spirit iron,
were currently being used as ballast, lying quietly in the hold of the Ghostly Flood Dragon!
’In other words, I can... upgrade to a Tier-2 spirit ship right now!’
At this thought, Su Ye couldn’t help but clench his fists, filled with eager anticipation.
...
After calming himself, Su Ye was about to lead the crew away.
Suddenly, the giant spider crab’s carbonized carapace shattered completely, revealing its internal organs!
Most of the crab’s organs and flesh had been incinerated by the Bing Fire Divine Thunder, reduced to charcoal.
However, in the deepest part of its body, a fist-sized, golden substance was emitting fluctuations of Spiritual Qi.
"Crab roe?"
"Sniff..." Su Ye’s nose twitched.
A tantalizingly sweet aroma wafted to his nose, making his mouth water.
Not only that, but as he slled the fragrance of the golden crab roe,
Su Ye felt a comfortable sensation wash over his soul!
The slight agitation he felt from the giant spider crab’s ntal Storm just monts ago was easily soothed and cald.
"This is... sothing that strengthens the soul!" Su Ye’s eyes lit up as he muttered to himself in pleasant surprise.
Compared to treasures that refined Magical Power or strengthened the physical body,
treasures that nurtured the soul were always exorbitantly expensive, to the point of being priceless and unavailable!
Even with Su Ye’s considerable wealth, he hadn’t been able to acquire a single soul-nurturing treasure in all these years!
That just showed how rare they were!
He never would have thought he’d find such an unexpected prize here!
"A double blessing..." Su Ye smiled, his mood joyous.
He channeled his Magical Power to retrieve the golden crab roe, placing it into a jade box for safekeeping.
"Let’s go!"
After packing up the spoils, Su Ye eagerly returned to the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
