Monster, come to my bowl

What is that black shadow falling down?

It's a crab!

Monster crab!

These millstone-sized demon crabs must have been attracted by the smell of the demon python's blood. They swarmed out from the nearby lake and came to the underground ruins to grab food!

Perhaps because it has low IQ, the demon crab is not interested in Cai Ji and Wang Cai, and does not show much aggression.

Their entire focus is on eating.

Click!

Click!

They used their large crab claws that were strong enough to break gold and iron to easily tear open the scales of the demon python, tear off the flesh and blood inside and stuff it into their mouths frantically.

"Eat, eat, eat! I told you to eat my food!"

Cai Ji was so angry that he screamed and grabbed a big rock and smashed it hard at a monster crab.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, the monster crab was too lazy to pay attention to him.

As strong as an ox returns as strong as an ox.

But the stone is not hard enough!

The stone hit the crab's shell, but it didn't hurt at all.

"Woof! Woof! Woof~~"

Wangcai was also very angry.

The reason is not that complicated.

He gets angry when his master gets angry.

It caught a monster crab and gnawed and bit it, but with little success.

Although it has iron teeth and bronze fangs, the monster crab's shell is no less powerful.

Although the dog's teeth made a crunching sound when biting on it, it took all its strength to bite through it.

Not only that, the crab will fight back when it is bitten.

It used pliers to pinch Wangcai's mouth, then his legs, and then his tail, making the dog scream.

Just because you have skin and bones of steel doesn’t mean it won’t hurt!

"Damn it! You are more arrogant than the Demon Suppression Guards!"

Cai Ji was so angry that he went crazy when he saw the prey he had risked his life to catch was snatched away by the unreasonable crab.

But no matter how crazy he was, he had already used up all his spellcasting tools and really had no other options.

There are too many monster crabs coming here to eat and dine.

If not three hundred, there will be at least two hundred.

He can't be beaten but can't be killed, and he can't be chased away.

There is absolutely no way!

"Forget it, Wangcai! Let them eat!" With no other options, Shopkeeper Cai could only give up and said through gritted teeth, "We can't waste time. We're competing with them for food!"

Having made up his mind, he immediately went to find firewood to make a fire.

Fortunately, although it was raining outside, there were quite a few dead trees in the ruins.

Cai Ji quickly started a big fire, and then went to grab the python meat that the crab had torn off.

In fact, he brought a knife.

But an ordinary steel knife cannot cut the tough flesh of the demon python.

You can only snatch it from the monster crab.

It can be considered as mutual help.

"Bake it quickly!"

"Eat quickly, eat quickly!"

Grab, roast and eat at the same time.

One man and one dog, competing with crabs in eating speed!

The fight continued until dark, and only a skeleton was left of the huge python's body.

Crunchy!

The satisfied army of demon crabs began to announce their retreat.

They lined up in neat rows, climbed up from the collapsed area where they came in, and returned to the lake where they lived.

"These bastards!"

Cai Ji touched his round belly, slumped beside the campfire and complained.

The same goes for Wangcai.

After eating half-cooked python meat for a long time without stopping, even the super digestion couldn't keep up.

However, although the losses were heavy, the gains were also considerable.

Cai Ji felt that his body was filled with spiritual power.

The rich spiritual energy flowed through his limbs and bones, making him feel full of strength and confidence!

But at the same time, he also realized a big problem.

Although he had plenty of spiritual power, he didn't know how to refine it.

There should be relevant content in the advanced mental method given by Xue Yi.

But he still doesn’t understand!

Refining spiritual power is equal to compressing it!

Without compression, the body's capacity is limited. If you continue to stuff more stuff in, the best case scenario is that it won't fit in, and the worst case scenario is that it will explode!

Self-destruct on the spot!

"What should I do? How about giving myself an 'Indestructible' and using up all my spiritual power first?"

“No! What if I don’t have enough spiritual power to cast a spell and faint? This is a desolate mountain, and no one will give me Guiyuan Pills. Even if Wangcai protects me, I will starve to death if I faint for ten days or half a month.”

"Also, the key problem now is not that the defense is not enough, but that the body capacity is too small, resulting in a place to store excess spiritual energy..."

"Got it! Since it's a capacity issue, I might as well expand my capacity! Hehe!"

Cai Ji thought about it for a while, and suddenly he had an idea.

He looked around for a moment and soon fixed his eyes on the giant skeleton left by the demon python.

Although the crabs ate all the flesh and blood of the python, they were not interested in its bones, leaving behind an extremely complete skeleton.

In addition to the skeleton, the two pairs of conspicuous large fangs of the demon python were also intact.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is definitely a good thing! It should be better than the feathers of the thunder eagle. After all, the thunder eagle has so many flight feathers, while the demon python only has four fangs."

Cai Ji ran forward excitedly, talking to himself as he pulled out the monster's teeth.

With the help of his strength as great as an ox, he got the four fangs without much effort.

These fangs are as big as ivory, with a surface as smooth as jade and heads as sharp as daggers. They are obviously rare treasures at first glance.

Cai Ji took the fang back to the campfire, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly said to Wangcai, "Let's go find a safe place first."

After saying that, he picked up a burning stick from the fire, looked around for a moment, chose a direction, and walked towards the depths of the ruins.

Most of the ruins are buried by mud and sand, but some passages remain.

The man and the dog walked along the passage for a while and soon found a good place.

It was a small stone house, with the entrance mostly blocked by collapsed rocks, leaving only a small hole.

The stone house is not large, and has no other doors or windows. The things inside have basically decayed, leaving only some broken bottles and jars and furniture debris.

"right here!"

Cai Ji leaned over and crawled into the cave entrance, stuck the burning stick into the ground, and ordered: "Wangcai, listen carefully! If I fall asleep later, you must close the cave entrance! Don't put anything in it!"

He didn't say unconscious, but asleep, because he was afraid that the dog would not be able to understand the difference between the two.

"Wang!"

Wangcai nodded obediently, indicating that he had accepted the order.

call!

After Cai Ji arranged his funeral arrangements, he took a deep breath.

He sat cross-legged in the corner, holding all four demon python fangs in his hands, took a deep breath again, and said to himself: "My body can accommodate... as much spiritual power as the Western Emperor!"

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, the four fangs exploded into ashes in an instant!

Correct!

It didn't turn into ashes, but exploded into ashes!

The tusk-sized fangs disappeared in the explosion.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The dull explosion frightened Wangcai so much that he tucked his tail between his legs in panic.

As for Cai Ji?

He took off from the spot, hit the wall and fainted...
