Whoosh!

Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian soared out of the place, but they did not move towards the southern part of the forest like what Zheng-Fu told Jin-Tian. He went to the eastern part instead because Zheng-Fu did not need to follow the monster right away…

The thing was, Zheng-Fu prepared a trap at the place that he mentioned earlier. There was a trap and nothing else for the monster there. He used this way to prevent the monster to cut in before him. He was not sure if what he thought would work, but it could be efficient by six out of ten portions…

"If you want to play, then let's play this…!" Zheng-Fu said while smiling cunningly…

Whoosh!

It would take about one day for Zheng-Fu to get to that spot. With Zheng-Fu's fast speed, it could be lesser than a day…

Clomp!

Zheng-Fu finally reached the spot on the eastern part of the forest. There was a big pond in front of him. There was also a small island in the middle of the pond, with a giant stone on it…

"I guess that was the rock that has spell patterns on!" Zheng-Fu said while staring at the rock in the middle of the pond…

Boom!

All of a sudden, an explosion occurred around the pond with a monster that jumped out of the water and landed on the ground. The monster released killing intent at Zheng-Fu too…

Thud!

Clackity-clacking!

"That's the Giant-Clawed Hermit Crab Monster!?" Zheng-Fu said while looking at the monster with wonder because normally the crab would be smaller and was not fierce this much…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Clackity-clacking!

Then about 20 of the Giant-Clawed Hermit Crab Monsters jumped up from the water. However, they were much smaller than the first one. The monsters stared at Zheng-Fu fiercely…

"I guess they were affected by the dark energy from the spelled rock. Look how big they've become. They even got fiercer. The water probably keeps them alive."

Zheng-Fu said while thinking about the reason why the hermit crabs had evolved into this version. He also wondered why they were not hurt being under the magical trap. And he came to the conclusion that the water must be something that saved them from the magical trap…

Clackity-clacking!

The sounds of the giant claws smacked into each other so loud like iron was being by another iron. All the Giant-Clawed Hermit Crab Monsters kept their eyes on Zheng-Fu. They all wanted to take his life because they could feel that Zheng-Fu's energy was lower than theirs…

That was because Zheng-Fu hid his real energy level to hide himself from that monster that ruined the giant rocks…

"I think these crabs shouldn't be too much for you, Jin-Tian!?" Zheng-Fu said while turning to look at Jin-Tian…

Roar!

Jin-Tian roared while releasing its real energy wave to show the crabs. The boss of the Giant-Clawed Hermit Crab Monsters was scared of Jin-Tian because it was only at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage. The rest of the crabs were at the first level of the Golden Core stage…

Roar!

Boom!

Jin-Tian did not wait any longer. It jumped towards the crab and used its claws to hit the boss of the crabs instantly. The hit caused a loud noise that echoed all over the place…

Whoosh!

Thud!

The attack from Jin-Tian caused the boss of the hermit crabs to bounce away quite far from where it used to be. One of its legs dropped on the ground…

Squawk!

The boss of the Giant-Clawed Hermit Crab Monsters cried out in utmost pain. Its blood splashed all over the place. When it gained back its strength, it tried to jump back into the pond immediately…

"Don't let it get away!" Zheng-Fu rushed to shout to tell Jin-Tian to take care of the boss of the hermit crabs before it got away…

Roar!

Stab!

The minute Jin-Tian heard Zheng-Fu's voice, it jumped to the boss of the Giant-Clawed Hermit Crab Monsters. Jin-Tian put all of its energy into this attack. Its claw pierced into the head of the boss of the hermit crabs which killed the boss instantly…

Clackity-clacking!

The rest of the monster crabs got threatened by the death of their boss, so they prepared to jump into the water to escape instantly. However, beams of light from a sword ran through them, all of a sudden…

Stab! Stab! Stab!

All of the Giant-Clawed Hermit Crab Monsters fell on the ground and died because of Zheng-Fu's sword. He hit the sword force at them all when he saw that the monster crabs would run away. He thought to himself that he would never let them go because their shells were extremely strong. They were the right material to make weapons or armor…

As a result, Zheng-Fu killed them all. He took the essence from all of them and kept their bodies into the crystal dimension…

"If these monster crabs were still alive. It would be much stronger within two years." Zheng-Fu said while stroking his chin…

Clomp!

Zheng-Fu then walked towards the pond. He jumped into the island and landed by the giant rock that had spell patterns on it. The minute he put his feet on the small island, he could feel a tremendous amount of dark energy rush through him…

Whoosh!

"There's still a lot of dark energy in the giant rock left. So, those monster crabs got only a bit of the energy." Zheng-Fu said while using his skill to balance the yin and yang energy to change the dark energy into the Qi energy…

Whoosh!

Not long after that, all dark energy was absorbed by Zheng-Fu successfully. And before the energy was drained out, he started to redo the spell patterns as he did before…

Bling!

All of a sudden, as Zheng-Fu was putting a new spell into the rock, something sparkling hit his eyes. The sparkle came from under the water. When he looked into the water, he saw a huge amount of monsters' essence under there. There was also a pile of skeletons mixed with the essence too…

"Those must be monsters' essence and skeletons that those Giant-Clawed Hermit Crab Monsters killed," Zheng-Fu said while staring into the water. Then he turned back to finish putting the spell patterns into the rock…

Whoosh!

Finally, Zheng-Fu finished making the new spells. Then he walked towards the rim of the island to jump into the water to take those essences…

Splash!

After he jumped into the water, Zheng-Fu realized that it was so beautiful under the water. The water was clear and he could feel the power of the Spirit of Water stones too…

Whoosh!

As Zheng-Fu got to the bottom of the pond that there was the monsters' essence, he noticed something next to the essence. There were the eggs of the Giant-Clawed Hermit Crab Monsters. The eggs were orange and bright. Each one of them was as big as his fist…

Those eggs received the energy from the monsters' essence around them. It helped them grow faster than usual because Zheng-Fu could feel that they were ready to hatch…

Whoosh!

Zheng-Fu did not wait any longer. He sucked the essence into his crystal dimension instantly. After the essence was kept, the eggs of the Giant-Clawed Hermit Crab Monsters that were bright earlier turned dim slowly…

*I might utilize these eggs somehow.* Zheng-Fu thought while looking at several eggs in front of him. Then he decided to suck them all into the crystal dimension too…

Whoosh!

After keeping everything in the crystal dimension, Zheng-Fu got out of the water instantaneously…

Thud!

"Alright, Jin-Tian! Let's go check out our work!" Zheng-Fu said while turning to look at Jin-Tian and smiled…

Roar!

Jin-Tian roared back to Zheng-Fu while running behind him. Then both of them started to soar off from the scene instantly…

Whoosh!

It had been two days that the big monster got to the spot by the southern part of the forest. It rushed to the place after it heard Zheng-Fu mention this spot…

"Hahaha! Silly human! No matter where you plan to go, I'd cut you in. Every time!" The monster said satisfyingly and laughed with joy that it arrived at the spot before Zheng-Fu…

Before the monster became this mischievous, it was just a regular monster. But it was stuck in a magical trap one day and got tortured by the trap severely. While its dark energy was being sucked out, it decided to try to destroy the spelled rock…

However, it failed to do so. As the monster was about to lose all its energy, there was just an improvement occurred within it. As a result, the monster turned into the monster of the soul that gained intellect. It got its own thought, so it began to absorb back the dark energy from the spelled rock. So, it got its energy level back.

But not only that, the monster was able to break through to the next level as well…

After it drained every bit of the dark energy from the spelled stone, it got to improve to the next energy level. It was the level that helped it destroy the spelled rock. And that was the Nescent Soul stage. After it finished with the rock, it started to sense the existence of Zheng-Fu…

So, the monster hid itself to prepare to kill Zheng-Fu, but it heard something unexpected from him. It heard Zheng-Fu mentioned more spelled rocks. That was the reason why it had to cut in Zheng-Fu every time he aimed to go to the next spot…

This time was also its plan to cut Zheng-Fu in the minute it heard about the spot's location. Once it got to the spot, it rushed to jump into the magical spell that Zheng-Fu prepared instantly without thinking first. It was only concerned about getting to the rock before Zheng-Fu…

Thud!

Boom!
