Chapter 265 Roasted Crab
Chen Dahai was working hard to operate the crossbow.
The small support provided on the wheelchair could no longer keep up with the high frequency of combat. Under his strong pull, the support of the crossbow creaked, and the wooden rod originally used to fix the crossbow became an obstacle to its rapid turning.
He was sweating profusely from his work when suddenly, he was lifted into the air.
"Hey, what are you two doing!"
Zhong Ming tried his best to attract the other party's attention, while Matt and Yue Kaishan worked together to lift the wheelchair up and ran away.
"Red Eyes! Cover us!"
Before he finished speaking, an arrow whistled out and pierced through the monster that had appeared out of nowhere.
She had twelve arrows left in her quiver, and could only hope that Matt and his men would finish quickly, or that the magical support from above would be more intense and scare away the merfolk.
Despite the jolting, Chen Dahai maintained remarkably accurate shooting, but the problem was that this was a city wall. He was lifted up above the side wall, making him visible to those below.
In an instant, the attackers lurking below sprang into action.
An indeterminate creature, whether octopus or squid, hid inside a house. Peeking through a small hole smashed in the roof, it spotted Yue Kaishan's head, quickly raised itself, and used its eight tentacles to secure itself to a solid part of the house. With a thud, it created a large hole in the roof, and then its body shuddered violently.
A jet of ink shot towards the city wall.
Unfortunately, it didn't see whether it hit the target or not.
The moment it appeared, a buzzing little bead shot towards it. It was only the size of a thumb. If it hadn't been flying at such a high speed, it would have thought it was an ornament that had fallen from the torn clothes of some female cultivator on the city wall during a battle.
The next moment, the spirit cannon hit the spot precisely.
A large crater appeared in the continuous housing area, followed by another. Countless streams of light bombarded the housing area that had been under construction for just a few days, ruthlessly destroying the fruits of the hard work of the cultivators, all in order to kill even one more threatening enemy.
The downside of artillery fire is that no enemy would be foolish enough to gather together and be blown up without any protection.
Killing only a small monster was a loss for the cannon; the monster's tentacles were blasted high into the air, even catching up with its own ink.
Chen Dahai glanced to the side and was startled. He immediately braced his arms on the wheelchair handrails, knocked the crossbow off the wheelchair, and "jumped" forward, falling to the ground.
"Oh dear, Brother Ocean, I'm sorry, I've been shaken down by you."
Yue Kaishan thought it was because he was unsteady on his feet, so the two of them immediately threw the wheelchair forward and bent down to help Chen Dahai up.
This is why all three of them were lower than the position of the city wall at the same time.
The ink shot hit the wall halfway, making a sizzling sound, and slowly corroded the city wall. The demonic power contained within continued to erode inward, interfering with the spiritual patterns hidden inside the bricks and stones.
The other half flew over everyone's heads and crashed into the middle of the inner wall. Just as it was about to hit the roof of a warehouse, a shield radiating light blocked it.
Before the three realized they had dodged a fatal blow, Chen Dahai grabbed the falling crossbow with one hand, and the "strong arms" on his left and right sides arrived in an instant, supporting him as he charged towards the giant crab.
Zhong Ming was forced to retreat step by step, as the enemy attacked him repeatedly with a strong shield and a sharp spear, making him suffer greatly.
The enemy's weakness is its flank. It's like a crab, which limits its movement and makes it less agile than Zhong Ming. However, the narrow passageway here perfectly blocks its weakness. The city wall is on the left and the corner tower wall is on the right, making it difficult to launch a sneak attack from the side.
Zhong Ming swung his "Spring and Autumn Hook and Sickle Spear Technique - Great Heat" heavily towards the opponent's back, but the raised pincers easily blocked the attack. With the changing seasons, only a slight slit appeared in the pincers.
He took out an explosive talisman he had taken from Xuan Jing and stuck it to the crack. In fact, it was not difficult; all he had to do was be willing to risk being slammed by the giant pincers.
Zhong Ming used the Flowing Cloud Movement Technique to absorb the opponent's push, and his body gracefully retreated, landing next to Matt.
An explosion and a cloud of smoke briefly obscured the crab's vision.
"Now! Out to sea!"
Before Chen Dahai could utter a single word, Matt and Yue Kaishan grabbed him and charged forward, using him like a battering ram.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
In the blink of an eye, Matt used a series of magical artifacts. He took out a wooden stick of unknown material from his storage bag, rubbed the two ends against the city wall, and spiritual energy flowed through it. The stick was then firmly wedged between the two walls, and a large bag of medicine fell onto the stick.
"Quenching Rainbow, get ready!"
The moment Chen Dahai's burning left leg touched the other, the giant crab trembled all over.
An indescribable pain shot through its own large pincers. Instinctively, it retracted its large pincers and attacked with its thin, long pincers. After stabbing out with one pincer, a surge of anger welled up in its heart.
My pincers are incredibly strong; when have they ever suffered such humiliation? Counterattack! Smash the enemy into a pulp!
Chen Dahai's leg was pulled back, and in its place, Zhong Ming appeared behind him.
He took several steps back before launching a sprint.
The hook-and-sickle spear, like a lance, rammed into the opponent's wound, the tiny gaps on the huge pincers becoming dry and brittle under the scorching of the eerie flames.
"Break it for me!"
This attack did not use the Spring and Autumn Hook and Sickle Spear Technique. Instead, it used the supernatural power of the Backwards Cold Strike itself. A huge suction force came from the spear shaft, plundering every bit of spiritual power in the dantian. A large amount of spiritual power was condensed on the spear tip, and it gushed out the moment it touched the crab claw.
In an instant, a deep, radial hole was blasted into the pliers.
Matt kicked the medicine packet at the other person's wound. The sharp barbs of the hook-and-sickle spear sliced open the medicine packaging, and a bunch of green powder spread into the wound.
"This medicine will make it weak and powerless. Quick, carry Da Hai up there."
"Huh? Wait, it's me again?" Da Hai cried out as he was lifted up by several people. The three of them jumped onto the crab's back and placed his left foot against the thick shell.
"Matt, how long will this medicine last?"
"Judging from its size, it would take about half a cup of tea to cook it."
"I'm definitely having this grilled crab today!"
