11: Crab will fall

Gu Yuchuan pretended not to understand the other party's implication. After all, he was just a little snake demon with a poor brain; it was only normal that he wouldn't understand. He blinked his triangular eyes, appearing somewhat comical but very sincere.

"That's right, Lord Crab General. I only had one Opportunity to eat such a Heavenly Treasure."

Looking at his 'wise' expression, the Crab General didn't even bother to ask further.

"Very well, I am aware of your loyalty. You may return. If my cultivation truly improves, I certainly won't forget you."

Having said that, he waved his pincers, no longer wishing to speak with Gu Yuchuan. He felt that talking to the other would lower his own intelligence.

After Gu Yuchuan left, the Crab General consumed the Red Cloud Fruit and began his cultivation. In truth, the Red Cloud Fruit did have a slight effect on purifying one's Bloodline, but it was only a tiny bit. Last time he ate two, he hadn't felt it at all.

That was why he had been skeptical of Gu Yuchuan's words. However, this time he deliberately checked his Bloodline and found that it actually showed some signs of condensing. He knew his Opportunity had come. But where could he get more of these Red Cloud Fruit?

In fact, the origin of the Red Cloud Fruit was no secret. After all, the Monkey Forest was not far from here, and many members of the Aquatic Race knew about it. Thus, with a bit of inquiry, the Crab General found out where they came from.

He hesitated for a moment but eventually chose to venture into the Monkey Forest. To prevent others from competing for this Opportunity, the Crab General even cautiously kept it a secret from everyone. However, Gu Yuchuan had long been waiting outside in stealth and easily followed him ashore.

With a cultivation at the Fifth Level of Qi Refining, the Crab General was no weakling. He actually knew a Transformation technique, turning himself into a Monkey Spirit, though he still carried the unique fishy scent of the Aquatic Race. It seemed this transformation method was not very advanced.

Gu Yuchuan did not dare follow him into the Monkey Forest. Who knew if a human Cultivator was hidden there? His current position was quite far from the Monkey Forest, allowing him to return to the water to hide at any moment.

As for the Crab General, he was discovered by a Monkey Spirit just as he was reaching for the Red Cloud Fruit. In the Monkey Forest, these Red Cloud Fruit were very precious items, usually reserved for the Monkey King. He had just picked four when he was spotted.

He acted decisively, killing the opponent before they could cry out. However, the mana fluctuations were still detected by nearby Monkey Spirits. The Crab General did not dare to be overconfident; he grabbed a dozen or so in one go and began his escape. He brandished his pair of large pincers, moving through the Monkey Forest as if it were uninhabited, instantly killing many monkeys.

The Monkey King reacted, charging out with his staff. However, the Crab General had already run quite far. Seeing he couldn't catch up, the Monkey King threw his staff. No one would have expected the Monkey King's weapon to be a Medium Grade Magical Artifact.

One must know that a Magical Artifact is the most brilliant product of Artifact Refining among the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation of the Human Race, and the core reason humans can suppress the Yao Race. This Medium Grade Magical Artifact was enough to leave a Mid Qi Refining Stage demon with no power to fight back.

The Crab General raised his pincers, which grew massive under the influence of his mana as he tried to block the staff.

The staff struck the Crab General's pincers, the sound even creating ripples in the air, a truly shocking sight. Cracks could be seen appearing on the Crab General's pincers—a severe injury. However, using the force of the blow, the distance between them grew even further.

The Crab General happily waved at the Monkey King: "Monkey King, thank you for sending me back! I'll remember the grudge of you hunting me today. Once my cultivation advances, I will definitely return for revenge!"

As expected, one shouldn't be too cocky, or things will go wrong. Even a crab shouldn't be too cocky, or it will turn into a cooked crab. In the distance, a red sword light flashed, piercing through the Crab General. The entire crab turned red, as if fully cooked. Vaguely, Gu Yuchuan saw the human Cultivator using the sword—a young man in a white Taoist Robe. He looked almost the same as the man he had seen at the vermilion fruit last time.

He couldn't help but think more deeply. Could it be that a human School was waiting to seize this territory? This was no small matter. He knew very well that under a toppled nest, no egg remains intact. He couldn't let this place be taken over.

However, he was currently being extremely cautious, not even daring to breathe. Fortunately, snakes were naturally cold-blooded animals and not easily discovered.

He vaguely heard the man lecturing the Monkey King.

"I do not know what you did to leak the news, but remember this: if you ruin the great plans of my Beast Taming Sect, you know what your end will be. Now, get back."

The Monkey King dared not say a word. Gu Yuchuan lay there for a long time before getting up. He carved the name 'Beast Taming Sect' into his heart. This damn School sounded like it was meant to enslave them. No, he must not let them succeed.

By the time he returned to the Yunxi River, he had calmed down. He quickly returned to his cave; he needed a steady review of the situation.

[Congratulations on achieving the Achievement: Avenging a Strong Enemy. Reward: Two Simulation attempts.]

He was so happy that he crawled around his cave twice. This was truly good news! He could use these two attempts to look for a way out. He hoped to find a good method.

However, he was in no hurry to simulate. After all, he didn't have a clear plan yet. He needed to think of a strategy first to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

He began to organize his thoughts. After thinking for a long time, he felt that this matter still had to be handled by Great King Hui She. After all, his own cultivation was only at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, barely the beginning of the path of immortal cultivation. He couldn't influence much at all. Since Great King Hui She had found the Foundation Establishment Stage Black Tortoise Demon General in the last Simulation, as long as he explained things more clearly, perhaps the higher-ups of the Yao Race would notice this matter in advance.

However, such a course of events was basically the same as the last Simulation. He was truly unwilling to start the Simulation like this. He hoped for a bit of change in every Simulation. But after tossing and turning the idea in his head for a long time, he couldn't think of any other way to simulate. So, it had to be this way.

He let out a long sigh. He was just a little snake at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer; why did he have to bear so much pressure? No, in this Simulation, he must kill all the Monkey Spirits. That way, all the enemies in his little notebook would be dead. Oh, right—he pulled out his little notebook and put a checkmark behind the Crab General's name. Revenge progress plus one.
