Hell Emperor

Chapter 25 Xia Wei-Shocking Change
Buried by the beach.

A group of brave and strong hunters, each holding a spear, are hunting together in an organized manner. They are wearing dark yellow thatch clothes, with their waists bent, blending into the beach environment, lurking quietly, waiting for the opportunity. advent.

What everyone wants to hunt is the swarms of crayfish by the river.

Crayfish have a fierce temperament, and dozens of them often move together. Each one is as big as a calf, and its body is covered with a hard carapace. The carapace is a rusty green color that has been washed by river water, and there are obvious thorn-like protrusions on the edges, making it look more attractive. He is not easy to mess with. There are two long tentacles standing on his head, and there are traces of blood on the red shrimp claws. His strength ranges from mid-first-order to peak first-order, and he exudes a dangerous aura all over his body.

"Very good. Climb a few steps forward... This group of crayfish is alone. Get ready to take action. You must keep them all and don't let any one go."

After confirming that everything was correct, the demon hunting captain Qi Feng quickly gave the order. Under his encouragement, everyone gathered confidence and united as one. Even if they faced powerful monsters ahead, they had no intention of backing down.

"Turn those monsters into our dinner!"

Qi Feng gave an order, and several figures suddenly jumped out from under the seemingly flat beach. The hunters jumped out from their hiding places, raised their spears high, and stabbed the crayfish surrounded by people.

The sound of gold and iron kept ringing. Under the continuous thrusts of everyone, the nearest crayfish could not withstand such an attack. The spears pierced their carapace, accompanied by a blood-curdling tearing sound. Dark blue blood continued to drip along the puncture wound, and the calf-sized body gradually lost strength and fell to the ground motionless.

Suddenly attacked, the crayfish group became alert and quickly dispersed their formation. The strong ones were responsible for stopping the hunters from rounding up. They would rather break the shrimp claws, but also firmly imprisoned the spears of the hunters to prevent them from being stabbed. Taking the opportunity to attack, the rear one with quick movements quickly retreated, preparing to summon the high-level monsters under the Jing River.

"Don't let it get away!"

Seeing this situation, Qi Feng felt anxious, fearing that yesterday's scene would happen again. If the crayfish that escaped back to the Jing River summoned more than two hairy crabs, most of the people in the monster hunting team would not be able to escape.

He stepped forward with his sword, preparing to intercept the escaping crayfish, but was unable to do so because the two blocking his way were too fierce.

The crayfish, who was not afraid of death, would rather drag his severed body than try his best to block his progress. All kinds of obstacles made him feel like he was stuck in the mud, and he could only watch the crayfish. Reenter the Jinghe River.

At the critical moment, I heard a gentle roar, and a violent roar of wind roared over. A fist as hard as iron smashed down from the head of the escaping crayfish, like a tiger descending from a mountain, flattening the crayfish's body with pure force. , dark blue blood spattered on the beach, and the crayfish that was running away just now had only its beard still twitching slightly.

Xia Wei slowly retracted her fist, her eyes were like fire, her brows were filled with anger, and her body was straight and straight, standing on the battlefield like an unwavering flag.

"Good job! Xia Wei!"

"We can't miss this opportunity, kill all the monsters quickly!"

Xia Wei's move also won praise from all the hunters. With the concerted efforts of everyone, the crayfish that had lost their way out were quickly cleared away by everyone.

The torn remains of crayfish remained all along the beach. After the battle, not only did everyone not feel tired, but everyone's eyes were full of energy. Looking at the broken remains of the monster, it was like seeing gold.

For those who embark on the path of spiritual practice, there is nothing that can speed up their practice more than the flesh of monster beasts, which is rich in spiritual power. Everyone counted the gains from the battle, took away all the fresh ingredients, and added a few spears to the crayfish that were not dead. This battle was fruitful and the laughter was endless.

Xia Wei lowered her head and glanced at her fists stained with dark blue blood, showing a bit of disgust. She was about to go to the river to wash her hands when a familiar reminder came to her ears:

"Don't get close, be careful of the monsters in the river. There is a very strong monster wandering at the bottom of the river."

Hearing this, Xia Wei's fierce eyes lit up, and her frown melted away like ice and snow. She stared at the dark ghost coming to her side and said respectfully: "Master."

Ye Jie waved his hand: "I have brought you a few more spirit stones. With these spirit stones, combined with the monster meat to assist in training, you should be able to quickly break through to the late first level."

"Well, Xiaowei will work hard..." Xia Wei showed a bit of gratitude. The joy of just defeating the monster was nothing compared to the master's concern.

"Miss Xia Wei, what are you talking to yourself about?"

Just as he was talking, Captain Qi Feng came over, looked around and saw no one except Xia Wei, so he put the matter behind him and said with a smile:
"Thanks to Miss Xia Wei's timely action, we were able to stop the crayfish that was escaping to report the news. Otherwise, I'm afraid the brothers in the demon hunting team would suffer again. In total, this is Miss Xia Wei's second rescue. The team is in dire straits.”

Xia Wei cupped her fists and responded: "This is what I should do."

Qi Feng bowed and said: "The brothers of the Demon Hunting Team have put their lives in my hands. If anything happens to them, I don't know how to explain it to their families... Whenever an accident happens, even if it's just the hunters, Broken hands and feet, listening to their family members wailing and crying, I felt more uncomfortable than anyone else. As the captain of the demon hunting team, I must solemnly thank Miss Xia Wei."

After receiving Qi Feng's thanks, Xia Wei felt a little warm in her heart. She looked at Ye Jie and received Ye Jie's affirmative look.

"Since monsters are so difficult to deal with, why does Captain Qi Feng lead the monster hunting team to fight against monsters? If something happens, Aunt Wang will be sad." Xia Wei couldn't help but ask.

Qi Feng smiled: "You have also seen that your Aunt Wang is pregnant now. I have suffered the loss of cultivating too late in my life. I still have many hidden wounds on my body. There is no hope of breaking through to the third level in my life. I am about to be born. My child, please don’t make the same mistake I did. If I want to give him the best cultivation resources, I will need a lot of money..."

Xia Wei nodded and listened to Qi Feng: "However, in recent years, the aquatic monsters near Qingshi Town have become more and more ferocious, and I feel a little powerless. After my child is born, I will step down from my position as captain. Just spend time with your family..."

As he was talking, he heard repeated exclamations from nearby team members.

On the river twenty steps away from the beach, a bright and dazzling light suddenly appeared, like a dream, like stars falling into the world. The light is emitted by a bright pearl, which is about the size of a fist. Its surface is white and clear, as if it is condensed by absorbing the essence of heaven and moonlight.

The pearl lay on top of a scallop that drifted with the waves. The scallop was the size of a human being. The open shell was like a big mouth. The soft purple tongue held the pearl. The perfect and full white pearl was enough to make anyone happy. Viewers went crazy.

"Such a perfect clam bead is worth a hundred taels of gold at least... As long as I can get it, I will no longer have to take risks to hunt monsters. My children, and even my children's children, can enjoy sufficient cultivation Resources." Looking at the shining pearls in the scallop, Qi Feng's eyes widened, his breathing became rapid, and he could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart. Not only him, but also many hunters nearby.

"This is a trap, stop them!"

Ye Jie frowned, his tone was urgent, and his eyes fell unblinkingly on the rapids of the river, where the ready-to-go monsters were waiting for their prey to take the bait.

Xia Wei hurriedly warned: "Be careful, it's probably a monster's trap, don't get close..."

However, before Xia Wei could finish speaking, Qi Feng jumped up and plunged into the river. Then he quickly waved his arms and approached the scallop like a swimming fish.

How could Qi Feng not know that this might be a monster trap? It's just that profit comes first, and there is no room for hesitation.

Qi Feng held a sword in one hand, carefully pushed aside the water flow, and approached the scallop. He had already made up his mind. If he encountered a crayfish, he would use his sword to sweep away the obstacles and step forward to snatch the pearl. If he encountered a hairy crab, he would give up the pearl and quickly return to the shore.

The expected attack did not come, and he came to the scallop smoothly, with undisguised ecstasy on his face, and stretched out his hand towards the pearl in the center of the scallop.

The black shadow fell on his head, Qi Feng quickly retracted his hand after reacting, but his movements were still a bit slow. There was only a heart-wrenching sound, and Qi Feng howled loudly. The scallop that suddenly closed tightly clamped his right arm in it, and even the bones were broken. The surging blood dyed the scallop red. The nearby river surface gradually spreads deeper into the river.

The demon hunting team quickly gathered around, hammering and beating the closed scallop. They grabbed Qi Feng's waist and tried to drag him back to the shore, but to no avail. Instead, they were pulled bit by bit by the huge force of the scallop. Towards the depths of the Jing River. Qi Feng was at the center of the struggle between everyone and Scallop, and his body was about to be torn apart.

Xia Wei also rushed over, but heard Ye Jie say: "Cut off his arm."

"But……"

"There's no time to hesitate, hurry up!" Ye Jie shouted anxiously.

Xia Wei hurriedly followed the instructions, and with a flash of sword light, Qi Feng's right arm, which was caught by the scallop, was broken at the root. Blood poured out like a fountain, and he finally got rid of the shackles of the scallop. The scallop quickly sank to the bottom of the river, and even the pearls were missing.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although he lost an arm, Qi Feng's life was saved. Just as they were about to pull Qi Feng back to the beach, a heart-stopping black shadow suddenly flashed under the river in front of them.

A sharp cold light passed through, and the three hunters closest to them were immediately disemboweled, and their bodies were swept away by the rushing river.

Everyone was shocked when they saw a tall figure standing in the river.

What first rose from the river was a pair of slender tentacles, followed by an armor-like bright red head shell. Under the head shell was a sharp mouthpart like a quiver, and a strange light flashed in the compound eyes.

When the monster completely stood up from the river bed, all the hunters were shocked, but they saw that under the lobster-like head, there was a strong body of a human man, with muscles all over the body bulging high, exuding the power of moving mountains. He was holding a seven-foot sword in one hand. The blade exuded cold murderous intent. Just one blow was enough to take the lives of three hunters.

"No...it's a third-level monster, the shrimp-headed man, everyone, run away!"

"How come a monster of this level appears here?"

Seeing the appearance of the third-level monster, the hunters swam backwards in a hurry, not caring about their companions beside them, and only regretted that they had lost two legs.

The shrimp-headed man gave chase, and a brutal massacre began on the Jing River. The Mo knife rolled over, and the hunters were all dead. Their limbs sank into the river, and the river bank was completely dyed red with blood.

In the rushing river, Xia Wei stepped on the river rocks, and the river water submerged her chest. She tried her best to drag the unattended Qi Feng back, trying to bring him back to the shore.

However, Xia Wei's movements finally slowed down a beat, and the shrimp-headed man had already set his sights on her. The cold front swept across, Xia Wei let out a cry, and with a slight movement of her hand, only half of Qi Feng was left behind, and he was neatly cut in half from the chest and abdomen, and a burst of red mist exploded in the river.

Xia Wei was not having a good time either. There was a hideous cut on her forearm, even the bones were clearly visible, and blood kept gushing out. The severe pain caused her facial features to tighten, her lips to tremble, and her pretty face to lose all color.

The shrimp-headed man pursued again, raised his sword, and was about to kill Xia Wei. At this moment, along with an inaudible sound of ignition, a piece of burning yellow paper was attached to the shrimp-headed man's body. Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening roar.

The violent explosion blew the shrimp-headed man's body away, and the strong impact caused him to fall directly into the river, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the shrimp-headed man was blown over, Ye Jie hurriedly shouted: "Run! I'll find a way to hold it back!"

Xia Wei also understood that her life was at stake, and did not bother to say goodbye to Ye Jie. After returning to the shore, she covered her wound and ran towards the town without stopping.

With the crashing sound of the river pouring over the sea, the shrimp-headed man stood up from the river again, with some traces of burnt black marks remaining on his body. The explosive talisman, which was equivalent to a second-level peak full blow, could only cause minimal damage to it.

Suffering from this attack, the furious shrimp-headed man just turned his attention to Xia Wei, and suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and then he couldn't see anything.

The shrimp-headed man screamed, holding the Mo Dao tightly with both hands, and his body began to spin rapidly, like an extremely dangerous blade top. Any creature that touched the whirling blade would have its flesh and blood flying away. The force was so strong that it was stirred up in the river. A huge vortex.

After covering his eyes with clouds to block the shrimp-headed man's sight, Ye Jie certainly would not stay where he was. He hid in the river, hit the river bed with a black stone, and moved away. No matter how powerful the shrimp-headed man was, It was just a punch that hit an empty space.

After the shrimp-headed man returned to normal, there was no one around. He looked around, then put away his long knife, picked up the corpses of the hunters from the river, put them into his mouth, and chewed them.
