When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean.
Chapter 69: Swarm of Blue Giant Armored Crabs

Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Swarm of Blue Giant Armored Crabs

Chen Qing was not sure; her understanding of this world was still too limited.

Perhaps she should go to Treasure Sea to buy some books to expand her knowledge.

However, the most pressing matter at hand was to kill these Giant Armored Crabs.

The characteristics of the Giant Armored Crab were high attack and high defense, and speed was not effective against Chen Qing.

Moreover, they only had high defense and not high health, which meant they were fragile.

This also meant that to Chen Qing, they were merely stationary targets; as long as she broke through their defenses, these Giant Armored Crabs were not to be feared at all.

The Black Blade that Chen Qing carried was not suitable for use underwater, so she casually picked up a Sea Beast Bone and smashed it heavily onto a juvenile Giant Armored Crab that was charging towards her.

The juvenile Giant Armored Crab was only rated G-level, making it extremely easy for Chen Qing to deal with.

Just with that one hit, its shell cracked.

The Sea Beast Bone that Chen Qing had picked up was a C-grade frost giant lizard bone, which made breaking through the Giant Armored Crab’s shell a breeze.

Their so-called high defense was only relative.

A crack appeared on the back of the juvenile Giant Armored Crab, and it immediately lost its ability to battle.

Chen Qing grabbed the spikes protruding from its body and quickly smashed it a second time; the juvenile Giant Armored Crab instantly lost its life.

With the juvenile dead, the adult Giant Armored Crabs made no movements and were still cautiously observing Chen Qing. Seizing the moment, Chen Qing immediately put the Giant Armored Crab up for trade at an exorbitantly high price on the trading platform.

The trading platform had already been treated by Chen Qing as another kind of space item.

Speaking of which, Chen Qing needed to hurry and create the Space Distortion Bracelet.

Not having a space item was indeed quite inconvenient.

The Giant Armored Crabs made no move, but Chen Qing did not believe they had given up on attacking her.

If they had given up, they would have withdrawn; instead, they were still firmly enclosing Chen Qing within a certain range.

Suddenly, a Giant Armored Crab behind Chen Qing burst out from the sand, its claws, larger than Chen Qing herself, snapping towards her.

The movement was extremely rapid, and Chen Qing could hear the "whooshing sound."

The strength of the Giant Armored Crab was terrifying; if she were caught, Chen Qing would be split in two instantly.

The attack from the Giant Armored Crab behind Chen Qing seemed like a signal, as a large number of Giant Armored Crabs emerged from the sand and all launched their attacks towards Chen Qing.

Chen Qing’s movements were extremely agile; even underwater, she was as nimble as she was on the surface.

With a flick of her legs, she narrowly passed through the gap between the claws, and she jumped onto the back of a Giant Armored Crab, swinging her fist down hard onto its shell.

The Giant Armored Crab shook violently, almost getting hammered into the sandy bottom, which kicked up ripples in the sand.

While Chen Qing was attacking this Giant Armored Crab, another one immediately raised its claws and fiercely snapped at her!

Chen Qing performed a carp flip, quickly gliding beneath the belly of the Giant Armored Crab in front.

That Giant Armored Crab that was hammered by Chen Qing was unfortunate; its shell was cracked open by its own kind, and the crab roe oozed out.

If it was crab roe.

However, the Giant Armored Crab that Chen Qing was using as cover was not any luckier; Chen Qing had installed 5 Mechanical Spider Bombs on its underside.

The sharp claws of the Mechanical Spiders pierced into its shell, and they exploded thunderously.

Even though the power of the Mechanical Spiders was reduced underwater, these Giant Armored Crabs with only F-level strength still could not easily resist them.

A multitude of Mechanical Spider Bombs crawled out of Chen Qing’s pockets and rooted themselves onto the Giant Armored Crabs nearby.

Explosions followed one after another, the massive impact force blasting the Sea Beast Bones far away.

Chen Qing aimed at the leader of the group of Giant Armored Crabs, a Royal Blue Giant Crab with E-class strength.

Its rank was already different from the other Giant Armored Crabs, even bearing the royal title at the beginning of its name.

The Royal Giant Armored Crab also set its sights on Chen Qing, the two standing off, with Chen Qing showing no fear despite facing a Giant Armored Crab dozens of times her size.

Armed with a piece of Sea Beast Bone, Chen Qing charged forward, the bone breaking through the water and striking the Giant Armored Crab’s body.

True to its name, the Royal Giant Armored Crab raised its pincer and clamped down on the Sea Beast Bone, easily snapping it into two pieces.

Flashes of bone fragments brushed past Chen Qing’s cheek, cutting off the strands of hair beside her ears, which then fell to the sandy bottom.

Trails of blood incessantly seeped from the wound, quickly dissolving into the seawater.

The Giant Armored Crab in front of her had a pair of very bright deep blue, huge eyes, clearly visible even at such depths.

The Giant Armored Crabs behind Chen Qing lay down under the might of the Mechanical Spiders, nearly lifeless atop the sandy floor.

A slight sting emanated from the wound on her face. To Chen Qing, the Giant Armored Crab before her was no longer just a sea beast but an array of delicious crab dishes.

Chen Qing grabbed a piece of Sea Beast Bone brought by the Mechanical Spider Bombs and lunged toward the Giant Armored Crab.

The Giant Armored Crab was also incredibly fast; the seabed was swirling with disturbed sand, and only faint shadows of the human and crab could be seen.

Chen Qing continuously swung the beast bone in her hands, each strike precisely hitting the joints of the Giant Armored Crab’s pincers.

Yet, the Giant Armored Crab failed to touch even a hair on Chen Qing; there were faint signs of fractures in its pincers.

It had high defense indeed, but that didn’t mean it had no weak spots.

Feeling threatened, the Giant Armored Crab immediately tried to burrow into the sand to flee, but Chen Qing leapt and forcefully pinned it down to the sandy floor.

Now that it had caught Chen Qing’s attention, it couldn’t escape.

The Giant Armored Crab shook its body frantically, even desperately hitting against the seabed rocks, but it still couldn’t shake off Chen Qing.

Her fists kept pounding on the shell until a crack appeared; following the seam, Chen Qing forcefully pried open the exceptionally hard shell.

Inside, the crystalline crab meat seemed to shimmer with deliciousness.

However, its crab roe - or rather crab blue - was blue, raising doubts about whether it was poisonous.

Black Blade plunged into the body of the Giant Armored Crab, the light in the crab’s eyes gradually fading.

In the dark deep-sea sand lay a large area of lifeless Giant Armored Crabs, and Chen Qing sat on one of their bodies, her breathing slightly hurried.

This was not a place to linger, as the scent would soon attract other sea beasts.

After stabilizing her breathing, Chen Qing immediately began clearing the battlefield, taking a large amount of Sea Beast Bones and the bodies of numerous Giant Armored Crabs, leaving the seemingly bottomless abyss.

Not long after Chen Qing left the seabed, another group of Treasure Fish followed the scent to the site.

Unfortunately, Chen Qing had already left, but there were still a few Giant Armored Crabs left in the sand.

Chen Qing had left these behind on purpose.

The Treasure Fish immediately started fighting over the Blue Gemstones in their eyes!

By the time they finished fighting, Chen Qing had already returned to her ship and set sail back to Sapphire Island.

Today, they’ll feast on a crab banquet.
