Chapter 285: Killing the Crab for its Core, a Secret Treasure Emerging

The Sand Crab, which always held itself in high regard and looked down upon humans, suddenly froze its massive body.

Nie Chen’s gaze sent a chill down its spine.

It even felt a sense of being at someone’s mercy, like a fish on a chopping block.

“Beast King Inner Core, Beast King Inner Core, what a treasure!”

At this moment, Nie Chen muttered repeatedly.

He licked his lips and approached step by step.

His eyes were filled with greed and desire.

“He, what is he going to do? That’s a Transforming Sea Realm Beast King! He could crush us cultivators like ants with a single step!”

Old Wang and several middle-aged cultivators were all dumbfounded.

Similarly, the Sand Crab was also dumbfounded.

It stared blankly at the approaching human figure, feeling a surge of inexplicable fear.

That greedy gaze, as if wanting to devour it whole.

The Sand Crab flushed.

“This human… is craving my body…”

“Pervert! I can’t believe there are such perverts among humans!”

The once arrogant Sand Crab, who looked down upon humans, was now filled with fear.

Unable to care about its dignity, between dignity and survival…

It only hesitated for a moment before choosing to turn and flee.

“Bang, bang, bang.”

With its two pincers and eight legs working frantically, the Sand Crab desperately fled sideways into the distance.

“The Beast King… actually ran away!”

Watching the Sand Crab’s fleeing figure, Old Wang and the others felt their minds buzzing, completely unable to believe what they were seeing.

That was a Transforming Sea Realm Beast King! Even if this young man was abnormal, he shouldn’t be able to scare it away!

Completely beyond their expectations, the Sand Crab didn’t stop but fled in increasing panic.

Moreover, Nie Chen followed closely behind without hesitation.

“Don’t come any closer!”

Even though it couldn’t speak human language, the Sand Crab seemed to cry out in fear in its heart.

Unfortunately, Nie Chen had no intention of letting it go.

A smile hung on the corner of his lips, his eyes becoming increasingly terrifying.

The Transforming Sea Realm beast core was an irreplaceable ingredient for the Nine Yang Chaos Pill.

To deal with the Empress, this Sand Crab brother would have to make a sacrifice.

That greedy gaze was aggressive.

The Sand Crab desperately tried to escape but couldn’t shake off the figure behind it.

It raised its body covered in a hard shell, but finally saw a fist suddenly fall from the sky.

The Sand Crab’s eyes were filled with terror.

Unfortunately, its massive body could no longer dodge and could only try to block the blow with its hard shell.

“Boom!”

With a deafening roar, the fist seemed to ignore all obstacles and directly smashed the entire crab shell inward.

A tyrannical force swept through, and the massive crab body was instantly smashed into a crater.

“This is not the strength that an ordinary Transforming Sea Realm cultivator can unleash. It’s clearly comparable to a Great Emperor.”

The Sand Crab was in so much pain that its crab roe was hammered out, but it couldn’t struggle in the pit, only able to watch as the next punch fell again.

“Boom!”

This time, not only the crab roe but also the shattered crab shell scattered everywhere.

Smoke and dust dispersed, and everything returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

But in the desert, only the Sand Crab’s shell remained.

And the fresh, warm crab roe…

And the crystal-clear beast core, radiating a powerful aura, had already been dug out of the crab shell by Nie Chen.

He even took a bite of the crab roe.

Warm, fresh, the taste was quite good.

“What in the world is going on?!”

Watching this scene, the middle-aged cultivators were all dumbfounded.

A dignified Transforming Sea Realm Beast King was killed in two punches?

Even the beast core was taken out!

For a moment, looking at Nie Chen’s terrifying smile, they couldn’t even tell who was the hunter and who was the prey.

They originally thought that this young man, like themselves, only dared to scavenge for scraps in this least dangerous Forbidden Area.

But at this moment, no one dared to think so anymore.

“Without the ancient alchemy techniques, high-level beast cores no longer have any use. What does he want…?”

Old Wang looked at Nie Chen’s departing figure in astonishment.

But he heard a response from the distance.

The response was only a few words, but it instantly stunned everyone.

“Nine Yang… Chaos Pill!”

…

“What happened?”

Even though the vast desert seemed endless, a loud bang in the distance instantly attracted the attention of many cultivators in the Desolate Forbidden Area.

Looking in the direction of the loud bang, although they couldn’t see anything, many people could feel the terrifying aura within.

“That is…”

Two female disciples of the Fanhua Sacred Lands used a secret technique of the Sacred Lands, gently covering their eyes with petals.

Soon, even with the cover of dust and sand, they saw the scene in the far distance.

There, lay the remains of a Sand Crab.

Its shell was completely shattered, and even its beast core was dug out.

“That was a Transforming Sea Realm Beast King… what in the world…?”

Soon, their expressions changed slightly.

Because both female disciples clearly saw that the person who dug out the Sand Crab’s beast core was Nie Chen.

They still greatly admired and yearned for Nie Chen, who had once saved the Fanhua Sacred Lands from being controlled by the love plague.

Especially the scene of them lining up to confess their love was still vivid in their minds…

But…

Both female disciples knew about the matter between Miss Mengyun and Nie Chen.

The two looked at Yao Mengyun with worry.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already seen it.”

Yao Mengyun smiled and shook her head.

Being able to kill a Transforming Sea Realm Beast King with one punch, Nie Chen’s strength could indeed be described as terrifying.

But…

Lightly gripping the hilt of the sword hanging at her waist, Yao Mengyun suddenly felt as if she had regained her confidence.

Even though her dao heart had been broken several times, this time, she would never lose to Nie Chen again.

Moreover, this time she was not alone.

In the wooden box, there was still the bamboo flute given to her by her sister, the Fanhua Saintess.

This bamboo flute, which had reached the Heavenly Grade magical treasure level, seemed to transmit her sister’s will to her.

As if the Fanhua Saintess was behind her, at this moment, no matter how formidable the opponent, Yao Mengyun would never feel fear again.

Even if it was Nie Chen, it was the same.

This time, he would be the one to lose!

Yao Mengyun’s confidence seemed to be completely filled in an instant. Gripping the hilt of her sword, she looked into the distance.

At this moment, a faint light bloomed from the desert.

Although the light was still very weak, everyone felt the extraordinary aura it contained.

The hidden object in the Forbidden Area had finally appeared!
