Chapter 109 Who exactly started the war?
Upon seeing this, Wang Hu didn't even have time to think. His massive body suddenly leaped out of the bushes, transforming into a golden lightning bolt, and slapped the swaggering, strange crab with his paw.
"Pfft!"
Caught off guard, the strange crab was slapped on the head by Wang Hu.
With a muffled thud, his dark blue armor, which could easily deflect machine gun bullets, was completely shattered under Wang Hu's tiger claws, offering no defense whatsoever.
A terrifying force instantly pierced through the crab's entire body. Its massive body, comparable to a small car, was as if it had been struck by an invisible mountain. With a deafening roar, it was slammed firmly to the ground.
A large crater was blown open in the ground, and dirt flew everywhere.
The crab twitched twice, its six slender legs kicked haphazardly, and then it remained motionless.
Fang Zheng, who was yelling and directing everyone to retreat, preparing to use heavy weapons, was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
He glanced blankly at the pile of mangled flesh on the ground, which was no longer shaped like a crab, and then looked up blankly at the golden tiger that was slowly retracting its paws and landing gracefully. For a moment, he was even a little stunned.
However, before he could react, Wang Ye behind him was the first to realize what was happening.
Holy crap!
A shocked exclamation escaped his lips.
Wang Ye's eyes lit up, and he practically scrambled towards Wang Hu, looking just like a little fanboy who had just seen his idol.
"Tiger Bro! You're so cool!"
Previously in Huacheng, he overheard those extraordinary individuals privately calling Wang Hu "Tiger Emperor," and he secretly thought that the nickname was too exaggerated.
But now he finally understood why those people called him that.
This isn't an exaggeration, it's downright realistic!
Wang Ye's heart pounded wildly, and a wave of lingering fear washed over him.
They actually dared to fight this monster before?
He actually got slapped twice by Wang Hu; he was so arrogant and ignorant.
If Wang Hu had used the same force he used to swat that crab, his team would probably be on their way to the underworld by now.
As Wang Ye made his move, the rest of the team also snapped out of their shock.
Li Shi and Fang Zheng exchanged a glance, then immediately stepped forward to carefully confirm whether the extraordinary crab was truly dead.
Meanwhile, the twin sisters Li Qingyi and Li Ziyi, one quickly reported their recent encounter to the command center, while the other immediately re-entered a state of alert, vigilantly sensing any movement around them.
Soon, the message from the command center was transmitted back via communicator.
"The target has been confirmed as a mutated giant spider crab, but such creatures are deep-sea species, usually active at depths of several thousand meters, and would never voluntarily come ashore. The situation you are in is extremely unusual, so please be careful."
Upon hearing the intelligence from the command center, Wang Hu took the opportunity to type out his experience of encountering the strange sea serpent on his phone and showed it to everyone.
After Fang Zheng finished reading, his honest face became more solemn than ever before.
They finally realized a stark truth.
This small island is probably not only blocked by that extraordinary giant whale with force.
It has probably already dispatched its most elite superhuman creature forces to land on the island ahead of time and occupy it.
At that moment, Cui Jiuyuan's calm voice came through everyone's headphones simultaneously.
"We understand the situation. From now on, you are free to move around. Any supernatural creatures on the island that pose a threat to you are yours to eliminate on your own, kill them without mercy. If you feel overwhelmed, do not hesitate to call for artillery support immediately."
"Remember, your most crucial task is to find that extraordinary plant and keep it firmly under our control!"
"Only in this way can we gain the initiative in the next round of negotiations."
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
With Cui Jiuyuan's order, the group's morale soared, and they began to organize their equipment, hurrying towards the center of the island, where the spiritual energy was most abundant.
As they continued on their journey, Wang Hu soon saw the true form of that extraordinary plant.
It was a gigantic banyan tree of indescribable size, with countless thick aerial roots descending from the sky and taking root in the soil, forming a spectacular "forest".
No wonder Cui Jiuyuan used the term "spiritual root" to refer to this thing before.
Looking at the enormous thing in front of him that covered almost half of the mountain, Wang Hu felt that only the word "spiritual root" could match its imposing presence.
However, the scene atop that enormous banyan tree was far from peaceful.
Seven or eight of the same deep blue sea snakes that Wang Hu had seen before were coiled on the thick branches, their cold, vertical pupils looking down.
Under the big tree, more than twenty giant spider crabs lay sprawled about, each one no smaller than the one that Wang Hu had just slapped to death.
Both the sea serpent and the spider crab exude a powerful, extraordinary aura.
Upon seeing the arrival of Wang Hu and his uninvited guests, the sea snakes in the tree immediately raised their heads and hissed as a warning.
The spider-crabs under the tree also stood up one by one, waving their sword-like forelimbs, their cold eyes fixed on them.
The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became tense, as if they were about to clash.
Just then, an old and hoarse voice rang out in the forest without warning.
"Who goes there?"
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that under the big tree, an extremely inconspicuous "millstone" covered with moss had moved slightly.
It turned out to be a huge, blue tortoise the size of a millstone.
The large blue tortoise was raising its head, its small eyes, gleaming with intelligence, scrutinizing them.
It could actually speak human language.
"This is the territory of my Great Whale King. Why do you humans trespass? Do you intend to start a war?"
The turtle's opening statement startled everyone, including Wang Hu.
A talking turtle!
And he speaks in a very scholarly manner.
Is this guy really possessed by some kind of spirit?
After a brief moment of shock, Fang Zheng was the first to calm down. He stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice.
"Huangshi Island has been part of China's territory since ancient times. It is only natural for us to walk on our own land."
He stared directly at the old tortoise, his words firm and resolute.
"But you are the ones who seized our island first, and now you're the ones accusing us of being the villains?"
"I would like to ask you, and I would trouble you to ask your great whale king, are you not afraid of triggering a war with our China?"
