CHAPTER 656: CHAPTER 269: THE MISSING BONE SPEAR GIANT SPIDER

"Brother Liang, be careful!"

Zhao Kai also exclaimed in surprise, a large amount of ice mist unconsciously emanating from his hands, rapidly freezing the lake surface.

The speed at which his ice mist spread was already very fast, and it almost instantly spread across the water’s surface.

Water lilies instantly turned into ice sculptures.

At the same time, Ding Yan kicked out a Moon Blade, fiercely slashing toward the red-shelled creature.

Boom!

The creature’s upper half emerged from the water, revealing its appearance.

It had a pointed head with long, floating whiskers, two enormous black eyes resembling bowling balls on the sides of its sharp head, and a dark red shell covered in dense spikes.

The giant appendages stretching out of the water were actually its two massive pincers!

This was a gigantic lobster!

The lobster was so large that its pincers alone were over a meter long, and its entire upper body exceeded a meter in height.

At this moment, its massive pincers silently moved to clamp down on Liang Yuan.

At this moment, Ding Yan’s Moon Blade shot over.

The crescent-shaped Light Blade struck its body with a resounding crash.

However, its massive body only tilted slightly, and the dark red shell bore only a white scratch, with no other injuries!

Meanwhile, the ice had already spread over the river surface.

With a crackling sound, the lobster instantly turned into an ice sculpture, its entire body fixed in the water.

It had to be said that Zhao Kai’s Frost Superpower was extremely effective against water-dwelling mutant creatures.

Liang Yuan glanced back at the mutant lobster and just smiled, not taking it seriously.

He reached out and grabbed the two giant pincers, then forcefully pulled.

With a splash, he lifted the lobster along with the ice on the water’s surface.

It looked as if he had peeled a layer of leather armor off the water surface.

Liang Yuan easily tossed the lobster and the ice layer onto the shore.

In a flash, he was already on the shore.

He gathered his Spiritual Power and instantly destroyed the lobster’s brain with a Spirit Shock.

However, due to the freezing, no fluids flowed from the lobster’s brain.

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "We can have an extra meal tonight. It’s been a long time since I had some crayfish."

Zhao Kai chuckled helplessly and said, "Brother Liang, how is this small in any way?"

Ding Yan sighed in relief, realizing that they had overreacted earlier.

With Liang Yuan’s strength, it was impossible for him to be ambushed by such a mutant lobster.

She smiled and said, "This lobster has mutated. We don’t even know if it’s edible."

Liang Yuan laughed and said, "If mutant fish can be eaten, why not mutant lobster? If you don’t want it, Zhao Kai, we can send it to the Slaughterhouse so the cafeteria in the food district can serve spicy crayfish. It will probably sell very well."

Zhao Kai burst into laughter.

Ding Yan also laughed.

Liang Yuan didn’t eat mutant beasts; he only ate food from system draws.

After moving in with the family, Ding Yan also developed this habit.

Though Zhao Kai and the others tried to follow Liang Yuan’s example, they didn’t explicitly avoid eating mutant beast meat, but subconsciously they were a bit repulsed by it.

After all, who knew if these wild mutant beasts hadn’t eaten humans before? If they could avoid it, they preferred not to eat it.

"Brother Liang, what now?"

Liang Yuan put away the lobster and looked at the water surface. Zhao Kai and Ding Yan also looked at the water.

Even from this distance, Meishan still seemed a bit far away.

No one knew if there were any particularly dangerous mutant beasts in the water, so Zhao Kai couldn’t help but ask Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan said, "Let’s look around first. If we want to go to Meishan, I might need to go alone first."

Zhao Kai and Yang Mei couldn’t help but frown.

"Brother Liang, why don’t we wait a bit? The Yangshan Shelter has just been established and is starting to run smoothly; you need to be here."

Ding Yan also said, "Yes, Liang Yuan, there’s no rush. As long as Yangmei’s parents are still in Meishan, we will find them."

"Moreover, with the next Sea tide approaching, people will feel uneasy without you around."

Liang Yuan realized that the next Sea tide was indeed just a few days away. He laughed and said, "I almost forgot about the Sea tide. Let’s wait for now. Anyway, there are still some loose ends to tie up in Yangshan."

Ding Yan curiously asked, "What kind of things?"

"The Bone Spear Giant Spider hasn’t been dealt with yet, and the Black Gold Giant Ape still needs to be cultivated."

"There might be other large mutant beasts on this mountain. Make sure to patrol carefully in the coming days."

Ding Yan and Zhao Kai exchanged excited glances.

Seeing Liang Yuan’s strength, they were now convinced that he would unify Yangshan without any doubt.

Once they dealt with the powerful mutant beasts, all of Yangshan would be human territory.

The less powerful mutant beasts could be left to reproduce in the mountains.

The patrol squads and hunters could freely enter the mountains to hunt without worrying about being in too much danger.

Eventually, all of Yangshan would become their hunting ground.

The Yangshan Shelter would truly become a safe haven, free from any threats to their lives.

Once they cleared the mutant beasts from the forest, the Sea tide wouldn’t be too terrifying either.

The mutant beasts that crawled ashore from the sea wouldn’t enter the forest, at most wandering near the riverbanks.

In the past, people’s fear of Sea tides was actually the beast horde emerging from the forests.

But thanks to Liang Yuan’s efforts over the last month, hunting down dangerous large mutant beasts around Yangshan, their numbers had significantly decreased.
