C242 Crab Shadows
Dozens of black armored crabs were moving at a very slow speed underwater, while the students were less than 30 meters away from them. However, the group of crabs was moving at an insane speed. Seeing this, everyone held their breath and stared at the giant crabs. They only relaxed when the giant crabs swam very far away.
"The Black Armored Carcinus has both defensive and offensive abilities, but its speed is not fast. Furthermore, its senses are very slow. This is indeed true. " Xiao Zibing stood at the front of the group. Although he had been frightened like the others, his face had now returned to being amiable. He turned around and transmitted his voice to everyone, "I was careless just now. I should have been a little more careful. "
Everyone did not speak. All of them were silent. Seeing this, Xiao Zibing tactfully stopped talking. Instead, he slowed down his footsteps and carefully floated forward.
Not long after, more black armored crabs appeared in front of them, but these crabs did not notice them at all. It was as if they were patrolling. They were just swimming back and forth in groups.
The students gradually relaxed when they noticed this. However, because the number of Black Armored Carcinus was too shocking, they did not dare to slack off at all. They were still highly concentrated.
Xiao Zibing raised his hand and looked at his hand gesture. Everyone understood and stopped in their tracks. Xiao Zibing then made a few more hand gestures. At this moment, everyone nodded and scattered.
This was the plan that everyone had set up earlier. At this moment, they had already arrived at the outer perimeter of the Spirit Beast's nest. Next, they had to split up and surround the Spirit Beast's nest to set up the Magical Guidance. This mission could be considered as a success.
Although this method sounded simple, it was not easy at all. No one knew what kind of special situations they would encounter and what kind of situations they would encounter on the path that led to the Spirit Beast's nest.
Among the twenty students, one of them stayed where he was. The remaining nineteen people spread to both sides. Mingsi was arranged to circle around the nest and walk to the other side. This was arranged by Xiao Zibing and the others. Mingsi did not object to it. After all, someone had to go to the furthest part of the nest. There was nothing else he could say about it.
Yuwen Lang's destination was not far from Mingsi. There was only a node of distance between them. As for Faang Xinning, she was close to him.
"It is finally starting. . . " There was a trace of fear in Mingsi's eyes. He was the same as Yuwen Lang. At this moment, his heart was filled with anticipation and excitement. Mingsi was confident in himself, and Yuwen Lang was even more so. Faang Xinning saw the two of them behaving like this, and the latter shook her head. She muttered in her heart, These two fellows. . . Hungry Devil Duo Demons, huh? Hmph. "
The twenty students had already spread out. Other than the person hiding in the same spot, the rest had already disappeared from this area.
Mingsi and Yuwen Lang advanced together. Because the two of them were not far away from each other in the end, they naturally had to travel together and take care of each other.
Three days had passed. They had been traveling for several hours, and now they had more time. Although there were still two more days left, the following path was not easy to walk. This was because they were moving around the giant crab's nest. Their speed would be much slower, and they might even have to delay along the way.
"After such a long period of time, I should be able to travel through the entire Spirit Beast's nest. " Mingsi said in a low voice.
"Theoretically, it is possible. However, after setting up the spell, we still need to return the way we came, and return to the assembly point before we run out of air. Only then can we return safely. "
Mingsi nodded, "Then let's increase our speed, the faster the better, and try to complete it as soon as possible"
Yuwen Lang did not object. He was very clear about Mingsi's strength. Moreover, the latter had Spiritual Sense, so it would not be a problem for him to increase his speed.
The two of them moved quickly at the bottom of the sea. When the other students saw that their speed was still increasing, they expressed their doubts. Considering the safety of the group, they wanted to stop them, but they could not catch up with Mingsi and Yuwen Lang's pace. They did not dare to increase their speed, because there were many figures of giant crabs moving back and forth not far away.
"Damn it! These two guys actually dare to travel in this manner!"
"If anything happens, I'll definitely not spare them!"
The students who were walking along the same path cursed angrily in their hearts. However, Mingsi and Xiao Zibing ignored this. They had already surpassed all the students, including Xiao Zibing, who had been leading the way earlier.
When they passed by Xiao Zibing, Mingsi turned his face and looked at Xiao Zibing. The latter was slightly startled. However, his gaze was still gentle. He did not have any intention of reprimanding them. All he cared about was letting Mingsi and his companion go.
Mingsi quickly withdrew his gaze. However, there was some doubt in his heart. This was because a strange feeling had once again surfaced in his heart when he exchanged glances with Xiao Zibing earlier. However, he did not continue to be conflicted after pondering for a moment. In any case, he should not be afraid of anyone else at this moment. Besides, being with Yuwen Lang gave him more assurance. When he thought of this, Mingsi withdrew his thoughts.
Mingsi was floating at the front. Sometimes he closed his eyes to sense his surroundings, and sometimes he opened his eyes to look around. Yuwen Lang followed closely behind him without making a sound. He was silent. Only his cold eyes were flickering, as if he was thinking about something.
The road ahead was endless. Mingsi looked to the left. From where he was, he could see that the Black Armored Carcinus was getting closer and closer. This way, Mingsi could confirm that they were walking around the nest.
Mingsi took out a small plate from his portal bag. There was a faint golden film of light on it. There was a needle in the light layer. This was the Time Plate. It was an artifact that used time magic to record time. Mingsi looked at the needle on the Time Plate. He muttered softly, "It's almost time. " As he spoke, Mingsi turned around and looked behind him. He realized that there were a few fewer students behind him. They must have reached the position he was in charge of and stopped.
If this continued, there would only be fewer and fewer people moving forward in the end.
"Stop wasting time. Let's go. " Yuwen Lang said in a deep voice when he saw Mingsi looking back at him.
"Yuwen, how long do you think we have walked?" Mingsi asked.
"About a hundred miles. " Yuwen Lang thought for a while, then looked at the endless sea of giant crabs on his left. But I look at the structure of the nest. I'm afraid we haven't even walked a third of the way yet. " Yuwen Lang's mysteriousness had become somewhat serious at this moment, "Next, we will pass through the outer perimeter of the middle part of the Spirit Beast. There might be even more crabs there. You have to lead the way and sense them carefully. Our speed can also be slightly slower. "
Mingsi was deep in thought. Since Yuwen Lang had already spoken, he could only do as he was told. After he slowed down, his psychic speech became more frequent. At this time, Mingsi's head started to feel slightly dizzy. At this time, he used psychic sense to cause a backlash.
A few hours later, just as Mingsi was about to relax, he sensed a dense cluster of light spots on the right side of where he was. He didn't know why, but he sensed a dense cluster of light spots on the right side of where he was.
Mingsi suddenly raised his hand and made a hand gesture. At the same time, he stopped. Yuwen Lang's reaction was not slow. He also stopped at that moment. Before he could say anything, he saw Mingsi floating towards him. He pulled him back and said, "Let's go. A large group of giant crabs appeared on the other side for some reason!"
