Chapter 331 Let's just consider this as making friends
Two consecutive attacks, neither Frostbite's claws nor Ink's venomous fangs, could effectively break through the stone crabs' defenses; instead, they were almost injured by the counterattacks.
The carapaces of these stone crabs were much harder than they had anticipated.
"Let's create some distance first..." Chi Miao suggested.
A direct confrontation won't work; we can only temporarily avoid their sharp edge, try to find their weaknesses, or take advantage of the surrounding environment.
Although these stone crabs are not the fastest, they have already formed an encirclement and are extremely patient, closing in step by step.
Instead of launching a fierce attack, they moved like mobile rock fortresses, slowly but steadily compressing their living space and driving them toward the edge of the forest, that is, the outer edge of the island.
Yu Mo attempted to corrode the stone crab with black mist, but the effect was minimal, as the stone crab's shell also exhibited a high degree of resistance to energy corrosion.
Frost tried to attack their joints or eyes from the air, but these parts were either well protected by their shells or the stone crabs would quickly retract the vital parts into their shells, reacting extremely fast.
After several probing attacks, they not only failed to gain any advantage, but also suffered heavy losses.
But these groups of stone crabs continued their advance steadily, as if they were sitting on a rock.
They were forced to retreat step by step until they reached the edge of the woods, where a steep cliff and the turbulent sea lay not far behind them.
There's nowhere left to retreat.
A dozen or so stone crabs formed a semi-circular encirclement. Their grayish-white shells looked cold and merciless in the gradually brightening sunlight. Their huge pincers opened and closed slightly, making a "crackling" sound of death as they slowly approached.
Yu Mo's eyes were icy cold, and the black mist around him began to surge violently, as if he was considering whether to disregard the cost and transform back into the python-like Black Mamba for a final battle.
Ao Shuang tensed all her muscles, ready to fight to the death.
Yuan Xiao's heart leaped into her throat. She held onto Chi Miao tightly, hugged Xiao Bai, and watched the approaching rock behemoths. Despair began to creep over her.
Is this... going to be the end of it?
At this critical moment, the deep blue seawater below the cliff behind them surged violently upwards.
A colossal, indescribable black shadow, shimmering with the light of water, rose from the seabed like a mountain range, bursting forth from beneath the surface with overwhelming force.
The seawater it stirred up surged like a burst dam, rising into the sky and forming a giant, circular wall of water tens of meters high. The bright moonlight was refracted by the spray of water, creating countless mesmerizing rainbows.
Yuan Xiao recognized the dark figure as the enormous orca she had encountered at the Sea Banquet.
But at this moment, the power it displays is far more terrifying and serious than the “playful” demonstration last night.
After it burst out of the water, it did not leap completely, but rather kept most of its body above the water. Its mountain-like head turned slightly towards the group of people who were cornered by the stone crab on the cliff, and its huge eyes seemed to glance at them.
Its incredibly broad tail fin, brimming with destructive power, suddenly rose from beneath the sea surface and slammed down on the group of stone crabs below the cliff.
No, it's not patting, it's lifting!
The killer whale's tail fin, like a giant oar wielded by a god, stirs up towering waves in a way that is both extremely ruthless and extremely precise.
Those were not ordinary waves, but raging waves crashing against the bottom of the cliff like a giant hand.
The giant wave, like a deep blue city wall, crashed violently against the bottom of the cliff with overwhelming force, and there were also the stone crabs gathered there, who had no time to dodge.
The incredibly solid rock cliff trembled violently under such a terrifying impact, and gravel fell in a flurry.
Those stone crabs that were just moments ago indestructible, leaving Yu Mo and Ao Shuang helpless, now appeared so small and powerless in the face of this pure and ultimate power.
Their heavy bodies were no match for the overwhelming waves, and they were instantly swallowed and swept up by the raging tide.
The hard shells creaked under the relentless impact and crushing of the raging water, and some of the smaller stone crabs even developed cracks in their shells.
The giant wave swept up the dozen or so stone crabs, as if cleaning up trash, violently lifting them from the bottom of the cliff and dragging them into the deep, turbulent sea.
The wave has passed.
Several disoriented stone crabs, their shells cracked and their limbs unable to move, floated on the sea surface.
The orca's massive head slowly sank, opening its gaping maw that seemed capable of devouring everything.
Take a gentle inhale.
A huge whirlpool formed on the sea surface.
The few remaining stone crabs were helplessly swept into the vortex and disappeared into the bottomless, dark maw.
"Gudong."
A muffled swallowing sound could be faintly heard.
The sea quickly returned to calm, leaving only the aftershocks of the violent surge and a few floating bubbles.
The orca's massive body floated silently on the surface of the sea, its dorsal fin resembling a black flag.
It tilted its head slightly and looked again at the few people on the cliff who were staring in disbelief.
From its sudden appearance to the giant waves that swept away the stone crab, and then to its complete engulfment, the entire process took only a few minutes.
Clean, efficient, domineering, and outrageously efficient.
The group of stone crabs that had just put them in dire straits were like a simple appetizer to the killer whale, which easily wiped them out.
Ao Shuang was the first to react. Looking at the familiar giant beast below, old and new grudges surged into his heart. Coupled with the frustration he had just felt, he was filled with rage and spread his wings to charge down.
"It's you again, you bastard! I'll fight you to the death!"
"Ao Shuang! Wait..." Yuan Xiao and Yu Mo spoke up almost simultaneously to stop them.
"It was just... helping us."
Although the method was a bit shocking, it did indeed get them out of trouble.
The orca looked at the furious snow eagle, and then it did something that surprised everyone.
Its enormous head actually tilted slightly downwards.
It's not about intimidation, but about lowering one's stance; in the beast world, it's tantamount to surrender.
"I can't beat them."
A deep, resonant sound, as if echoing the sea, slowly drifted over.
"I meant no harm."
The voice wasn't harsh; instead, it had a deep and honest quality.
"Just consider it as making friends."
The orca's enormous eyes looked at Yuan Xiao on the cliff face, paused for a moment, and added, "If you ever need my help in the future, just remember to come here to find me."
There were no beating around the bush, no conditions were set, it was just a simple statement: We're acquainted now, you can contact me if you need anything in the future.
The snow sculpture's anger was caught off guard by this straightforward "friendship declaration," leaving it speechless for a moment. Its wings were still outstretched, and its expression was somewhat comical.
Yu Mo and Chi Miao exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
