Chapter 28 Kill the crab monster! The midday sun was even brighter, but it couldn't penetrate the dense dust and sand. The broken gravel piles were stuck upside down in the mud, and the water plants rooted in the cracks between the stones were forced to leave their growth place and drift away into the distance along with the gentle waves. The entire underwater world became a chaos due to the fierce battle between Liang Qu and others, as if an undersea earthquake had occurred. "Ho!" Liang Qu swam out of the water and took deep breaths. He tilted his head back, his tongue was so dry that it seemed like it was about to split, and his chest heaved violently. Strings of water droplets dripped from the end of Liang Qu's wet hair, mixed with cold sweat, flowed to his chin and splashed down with water. The tides lifted the Liangqu Canal up and down, and there were dazzling ripples everywhere. He kept taking deep breaths, his bellows-like lungs inhaling huge amounts of oxygen, his heart trying its best to deliver oxygen to his entire body, his flushed face quickly faded, and his numb brain regained vitality. The crab monster's attacks were impenetrable, and the oxygen consumption in a few minutes of fighting was almost equivalent to that in a normal quarter of an hour. He lowered his head to look at his waist. The wound was almost as wide as a palm, extending from three or four inches beside his belly button to the back of his waist.
An entire piece of epithelium was torn off, with pale yellow tissue fluid secreted on the edges and bright red muscle tissue exposed in the center. Blood continued to ooze out, making him break out in cold sweats and feel a lingering fear. Wow. The fat catfish surfaced and dragged the clothes that Liang Qu left on the boat. Liang Qu gritted his teeth, took the clothes, tore them into strips, and bandaged them around his waist. The wound was no longer washed by the water, and the severe pain was finally relieved. The heart that had been beating so fast finally calmed down. The waves hit Liang Qu's chest. He took out the broken half of the spear. Several long wooden spikes were sticking out of the broken wooden handle. If only I had an iron fork, I wouldn't get hurt. Liang Qu stretched out his hand to break off the wooden splinter, straightened the broken end, grasped the short spear again, took a deep breath, and dived again. The crab monster was badly damaged, but it is not dead yet, so there is no chance to let it recover. Round two begins! Under the water, the dust that was originally four or five meters high has dropped to about two meters, but there is no sign of the crab monster around. But after searching by the Fat Catfish and the Pig Dragon, they soon found the trace. When Liang Qu saw the crab monster, his eyes turned red! At this time, the crab monster was lying on the lotus root ground, holding a large piece of lotus root in its claws and chewing it frantically, almost eating one piece at a time. With the huge amount of lotus root in its diet, the crab monster's healing ability took effect. Almost all of its broken tentacles grew granulations, and even new tentacles grew out of its eye sockets. The crab's tissue regeneration ability is extremely strong, so Liang Qu didn't dare to let it eat any more, otherwise all his efforts would be wasted. What's more, those were all his lotus roots! Liang Qu rushed up again, and when he landed on the ground, the crab monster's newly grown tentacles moved and turned towards Liang Qu. But its vision had not yet recovered, so it could not see Liang Qu's movements at all. It could only judge the direction of the approaching person by the vibrations on its arthropods. If a crab's eyeball and eyestalk are completely damaged, it cannot grow a new eye and can only grow an extra tentacle in the eye socket, but that is only for ordinary crabs. Liang Qu couldn't guarantee whether the crab monster in front of him would be the same, so he had to get rid of it before its eyes grew back! Liang Qu realized that this guy was not smart as early as when he noticed that the crab would change its target when attacked. A very fatal weakness.
As his thoughts turned, Liang Qu struck the rock with his short spear. Almost at the moment the vibration appeared, the crab monster became furious, and its four legs trembled and swung as it rushed towards him. Liang Qu was ready for battle. The crab swung its amputated limbs and rushed in front of him like a chariot, stirring up the water flow in his face, as if he was standing in the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt. Liang Qu jumped up and controlled the water flow to cause disturbance on the other side. The claws reached out to the water flow without hesitation. Their sharp claws cut off the water flow, but they caught nothing. The crab monster threw away its giant claws, and the front of its body opened wide, revealing its white belly. Now! Liang Qu fell back to the ground, holding the short spear that was only half its original length. His eyes fell on the tip of the spear, aiming at the white navel. Wrists, elbows, waist and legs, every usable muscle is tensed, contracted, and rapidly relaxed at this moment. He stomped on the ground, raising dust. His long-term practice of standing meditation made his lower body as stable as a rock. He moved forward and pierced through. The spear tip with a small hole in it disappeared from Liang Qu's sight. He clenched his teeth, and the blood from his waist seeped through the cloth and seeped into the water, pulling out thin blood-red threads that were then broken apart as he moved forward. The moment Liang Qu landed on the ground again, the crab monster reacted and turned its giant claws, but it was too late. The short spear, more than one meter long, was inserted diagonally into the navel of the crab monster, penetrating its most vulnerable and deadly part without any resistance. “It’s still a female crab.” Looking at the round lid of the crab's belly, Liang Qu thought. Arthropods and crustaceans have three nerve centers. The most vulnerable part is at the navel, where their gonads and nerve centers are located. It is also the softest part except for the joint membrane. When cooking crabs, just press the chopsticks against the crab's navel and push them into its body. The crab will die instantly and painlessly. Boom! The claws held high above slowly fell down with the help of the water flow, passed over Liangqu's head, and landed on both sides. The huge object smashed into the mud, raising a large cloud of dust and rising from the ground like a stone wall. The pig dragon and fat catfish on the side widened their eyes, feeling incomprehensible. They couldn't understand how such a big monster could be killed by Liang Qu. He was clearly being beaten and running away in fear just now. The two beasts were even more awed in their hearts, believing that he was worthy of being the god who opened their spiritual wisdom. Liang Qu felt weak. He slowly stood up and swam out before the dust on both sides covered him. After returning to the water, he flipped into the sampan and lay down, gasping for breath. After completing the last blow, he only felt dizzy, as if his whole body was wrapped in numbness, and he felt exhausted as if his body was hollowed out. Blood was oozing out of the wound on the waist. Liang Qu felt drowsy, but he didn't dare to fall asleep, for fear that he would bleed too much and never wake up again. He lay there for a long time before his dizzy head gradually returned to normal and his tired body regained a little strength. Liang Qu grasped the edge of the boat with his hands, and with his trembling arms he supported himself as he moved upwards, leaning lightly against the bulkhead, breathing heavily.
The wind created waves, and the tides continuously hit the hull, creating sparkling light. Low-flying falcons swooped down and grabbed the small fish that jumped out of the water. The cold wind took away the wet moisture, and the wet hair gradually swayed with the frequency of the wind. "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Liang Qu suddenly laughed out loud, and his laughter echoed on the waves of the Zeye River. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was so extraordinary! He was able to kill such a huge monster! That's a monster! How many fishermen fled at the sight of this monster, but it was killed by him, Liang Qu! Bald-headed Zhang and the three Wang brothers suddenly became like children playing house and were not worth mentioning. His mind suddenly became open, as if there were no more difficulties on the road ahead. (End of this chapter)
