Chapter 49 Dividing the Troops
Without the captain needing to say anything, everyone else understood, and one after another, mid-level spells were unleashed.
Yunhua used "Mind Control - Virtual Claw" to grab the giant shell mother in the center and throw her out of the nest. The giant shell mother was thrown around and was unable to get up for a while.
Without being told, Xiaoti sprinted forward, accelerating her claws and slicing through the most vulnerable part of the giant shell mother armor's belly. With a "ripping" sound, the giant shell mother armor was ripped open, and blood gushed out.
However, the Giant Shell Mother Armor was, after all, a warrior-level demon, and such injuries were not enough to kill it completely.
Seeing that everyone else was busy dealing with other demons and hadn't noticed him, Yunhua took a step forward and threw a punch, striking the giant shell mother armor through the wound Xiaoti had made, thus ending its life.
The remaining giant pincers were also killed by the others, and only a dozen or so fled in panic, which they did not pursue.
At this moment, Xiao Ti came over. It seemed to sense something and used its front paws to deftly dig open the side armor of the giant shell mother, digging out a grayish-white egg the size of a watermelon. Then Xiao Ti ate the grayish-white egg bit by bit, like eating a cookie.
In the information Yunhua had seen, there was a description of this thing. This large, grayish-white egg was likely the Armor-Nurturing Pearl, which was the essence of all the energy collected by the Giant Shell Mother Armor and used to cultivate Giant Claw Demon Crabs. A Lesser Warrior-level Giant Shell Mother Armor could cultivate thirty to forty Giant Claw Demon Crabs at a time with this.
These growth beads can accelerate the growth of demons and also have a certain effect on their advancement. After eating this, it will be easier for Xiaoti to advance to the Warrior level.
However, I still need to tell others about the fact that Yu Jia Zhu was eaten, otherwise it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold if others find out first.
Just then, Li Dezhou and his group had already roughly surveyed the battlefield. This battle had eliminated nearly a hundred giant pincer demon crabs and a giant shell mother armor.
The giant shell mother armor itself has very poor combat power, basically at the bottom among warrior-level monsters. However, this mother armor, which can command over a hundred giant pincer demon crabs, dropped a spirit essence. Although no other strange bones or armor were found, the spirit essence of a warrior-level demon was already worth the trip.
As for the Armor-Nourishing Pearl, the others didn't care. They didn't need it anyway, and once the Armor-Nourishing Pearl was dug out, the energy inside would dissipate quickly, making it impossible to sell.
Afterwards, the group traveled about six or seven kilometers from their original location and found a large tree nearby to rest. It was now past 11 a.m.
In the south, during the summer vacation in July and August, the daytime temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius, and the sun is scorching. If you're not in a forest, you'll be roasted alive by the sun.
While drinking the beverages they had brought, the group discussed what to do next. In the end, they decided to follow the previous method: first eliminate the remaining four nests of giant pincers crabs nearby, and then plant detectors to collect data.
These four nests of giant claw crabs pose a great threat to them. Although there are still three nests left, it would be quite dangerous if they were surrounded by the three nests of giant claw crabs. It would be better to take the initiative and eliminate them one by one, so that the initiative would still be in their own hands.
Just like last time, based on the previous detection data, they chose the smallest nest to attack. This nest also consisted of more than a hundred giant pincers crabs and a small warrior mother shell.
The battle was over in six or seven minutes, but luck was a bit bad. The giant shell mother didn't drop any essence, and the other hundred or so giant pincer demon crabs didn't drop much either. The group collected their spoils and left.
"Killing them like this doesn't seem to be worth enough!" After killing hundreds of slave-level enemies without getting any spirit essence, the gains were getting smaller and smaller, and everyone's ideas were becoming more and more risky.
The remaining two nests are large nests, each containing three to four hundred giant clawed crabs. It will probably take a lot of effort and time to kill all three to four hundred of them.
"How about we go straight for that giant shell mother this time? Let those slave-level giant pincer demon crabs be leaderless, that would be much more efficient," Yu Jiaqi suggested.
The mother crab that commands the group is indeed quite intelligent. Although it is not very strong, if it is killed, the strength of the giant claw crab group will be greatly reduced.
"We can split into two groups. One group can lure the giant clawed crab swarm from the front, while the rest can work together from the rear to take down the giant shell mother," Yunhua suggested.
"Alright, let's do it that way then," Li Dezhou said.
Upon arriving near the lair, the vice-captain and those skilled in defense and mobility led the way, while Yunhua and the others waited behind.
As they expected, what happened next was exactly what happened: the giant shell mother commanded all the giant pincer crabs to attack the vice-captain's location, while she herself basically hid at the very back.
"It's time. I'll bring the giant shell mother armor over here in a bit. See that rock behind us? Captain and Sister Jiajia, use Earth Strike and Thunder Wheel to blast it to death. Xiaoti and I will block the giant pincer demon crabs that come over." Yunhua told everyone about her plan.
"You can catch it? It's not like the previous two. It looks like it's reached the level of a mid-level warrior. Although its strength is still not that great, its body is eight meters long and over six meters tall, and it must weigh nearly three thousand tons. Your space system already has this kind of strength?" Li Dezhou asked in astonishment.
"Don't worry! No problem!" Yunhua assured the captain.
Yunhua's spiritual power is, after all, at the second level. Although the quantity is hard to say due to the drag from the spatial system level, the quality is definitely not a problem.
"Alright, let's do it that way then," Li Dezhou nodded in agreement.
"Mind Control - Virtual Claw"
Yunhua raised his hands, and the giant shell armor was lifted into the air with his movements. Then, the giant shell armor flew over everyone's heads and crashed directly onto the big rock.
"Fierce Fist - Earth Strike"
Li Dezhou, as expected of an old hunter, was the most skilled in using magic and had the most advanced awareness. He was already preparing magic the moment the giant shell mother armor was captured.
As the giant shell armor was slammed to the ground, he also completed the intermediate-level fire magic, Fierce Fist.
A massive pillar of lava erupted from the ground beneath the giant mother shell.
With a deafening roar, the giant shell mother armor was blasted to a height of seven or eight meters above the ground, and a large part of the shell was smashed apart.
"Thunderbolt - Top-Down"
Yu Jiaqi took over, and a thundercloud formed above the giant shell mother armor. With a flick of her finger, lightning bolts shot down like a giant python towards the giant shell mother armor.
"Fierce Fist - Earth Strike"
Li Deru continued, and the giant shell mother armor was quickly killed by two earth-shattering blows and two thunderbolts under the combined attack of the two people, and unexpectedly, a spirit was released.
While Li Dezhou and his group were ganging up on them, Yun Hua took out the Flying Dragon Flame and Xiao Ti to stand in front of them and deal with the giant pincer demon crabs that were rushing over.
Yunhua didn't pursue lethality; she simply used telekinesis to repel them. Only when they got too close would Yunhua use Flying Dragon Flame to kill them, since held magical artifacts and ordinary magical artifacts looked pretty much the same.
Xiao Ti transformed into a white assassin, specializing in attacking vulnerable spots like the belly, taking the life of a crab with a single strike.
