Chapter 285 - 65: Legendary Black Water Crab; Fierce Battle and Slumber
After the emergence of the Mother of Deep Red, peculiar changes occurred in the continental situation. Legendary powerhouses avoided appearing, while wars of various sizes among sub-legendary beings erupted everywhere.
Overall, the forces of the Crimson Nest have been continuously expanding to occupy more territories and resources, while the human, beastman, dwarf, and other forces of the Pan-Continent Species have been retreating and yielding, endlessly negotiating some counter strategies.
However, no matter what strategies are employed next, they are unable to affect the Black Wing Nest located in the southern corner for the time being.
Now, the Pan-Continent Species are at an absolute disadvantage, unlikely to disturb the neutral Black Wing Nest and risk having another powerful enemy. The Crimson Nest, after losing a Legendary White Dragon, is even more eager for legendary combat power... With her true form unsealed, the Mother of Deep Red is substantially limited, naturally in urgent need of some strong subordinates.
In response, the Crimson Nest frequently sends the Red Dragon Envoy Carolina to persuade the Black Dragon Lord to join the war directly, rather than offering side support... To some extent, the current Black Wing Nest holds back a considerable portion of the Pan-Continent Species Alliance in the southern part of the continent, making them wary, which naturally eases some of the war pressure on the Crimson Nest and is thus considered side support.
However, the Black Dragon Lord only continues to dismiss it casually, though verbally assures that should any major battle or decisive fight occur, the Black Wing Nest will not stand idly by, barely keeping the constant pressure from the Crimson Nest stabilized.
After barely stabilizing the Crimson Nest, the Black Dragon Lord also diverted most of its attention towards the deep sea.
After all, with the exposure of the Mother of Deep Red’s power, it should be the Pan-Continent Species who feels fear, not the Black Wing Nest.
Taking advantage of this ’crevice’ to develop stealthily for a while longer, it needs to pursue continuous breakthroughs in strength as much as possible, to have enough say in future contests for the interests of the Tal Plane.
....
A month after the aftermath of the Mother of Deep Red, in the West Sea - Deep Sea Area, ten thousand meters deep underwater.
A Triangular Four-winged Demon Dragon was fleeing desperately in the water, its dragon body like a pitch-black sharp arrow, breaking through the water.
Behind it, a gray crab monster slightly larger than the Demon Dragon in size was chasing arrogantly. The seemingly cumbersome large body was surrounded by pitch-black water currents, with a speed slightly faster than the Demon Dragon, slowly closing the distance between them.
Every time those enormous crab claws closed and opened, a jet of pitch-black water would blast out, attacking the Demon Dragon.
The Demon Dragon ahead sometimes had no way to evade it and thus had to take it with its dragon body. The seemingly unimpressive black water stream would easily crack open the dense demon armor on the dragon body, causing a trickle of faint purple dragon blood to flow.
"You can’t escape, Demon Dragon!" the gray giant crab uttered in mental language, its emotions explosive.
Anyone would feel anger when their offspring is continuously devoured.
The gray giant crab was a legendary dominator of the deep sea, ruling over thousands of miles of sea area, with countless giant crab offspring and kin under its command. Though there were minor conflicts with the neighboring sea area dominators, overall, things had been peaceful.
But unexpectedly, after just a few months, when the gray crab awoke from sleep and patrolled its territory, its descendants complained fearfully to their grand ancestor crab about a terrifying evil dragon that had arrived in their territory. It would eat hundreds if not thousands of kin every few days, especially targeting the larger, fleshier and stronger crabs, leaving the kin in endless harassment and panic.
Upon hearing this, the gray crab was instantly enraged and stopped sleeping, choosing instead to hide and wait for the evil dragon to attack.
After more than a day of ambushing, the gray crab finally caught a flaw from the dragon that was eating its offspring, leading to the current chase scene.
Facing the intimidation from the Legendary Gray Crab, the Demon Dragon, known as Diya Harut, sneered inwardly, but its dragon eyes revealed a tense emotion, fleeing desperately towards the near sea area.
This scene was observed by the legendary giant crab’s powerful spiritual power, igniting even more greed in its heart, giving chase with all its might.
Besides wanting to avenge its offspring, the gray crab also had a strong desire of devouring the demon dragon.
Whether it’s an Abyssal Demon Dragon Species or a Giant Dragon Species, their lineage stands among the top tiers, attracting even postnatally achieved legendary powerhouses like the gray crab.
Even more so when it was this powerful, almost close to becoming legendary (Diya Harut intentionally feigned weakness), consuming it would certainly allow the advancement of its strength... even possibly breaking through the level that had troubled it for a millennium!
The gray crab’s own lineage was rather extraordinary, named ’Legendary Black Water Crab’, with a natural mastery over a unique black water ability. Though not as powerful as the Giant Dragon, it ranks among the top-tier water element creatures, reaching Level 15 in adulthood... With its bloodline talent and accumulating significant opportunities, the gray crab broke through to Legendary at over 800 years old.
However, now it was nearly 1900 years old, still only at Level 20... As its lifespan continued to dwindle, the gray crab naturally felt anxious.
The lifespan of the Black Water Crab species is approximately two thousand years, which extended by three thousand years after breaking through to legendary, totaling nearly five thousand years. With more than half of its crab life gone, still lingering at the lowest legendary tier, its heart was understandably unsettled.
