In this way, Han Changming and others settled down on the Red Scorpion Island, strengthened vigilance, and sent people to search for the whereabouts of the two second-level demon crabs.
Considering that they were two second-level demon crabs, Han Changming and Ye Xue personally dived into the seabed to search for them. If the Qi Refining stage tribesmen encountered two second-level demon crabs, they would only die in vain.
Ye Xue sacrificed a water-repellent bead, which turned into a light blue water curtain, covering herself and Han Changming, isolating them from the sea water.
The two men dived to a depth of more than thirty feet under the sea and moved forward slowly.
The light at the bottom of the sea is dim, but fortunately they are foundation-building monks, and a spiritual eye technique can solve this problem.
Monster crabs usually like to live in stone caves and will not move easily unless there is no prey nearby.
The blue water curtains were like huge blue balls, moving slowly forward. They could clearly see schools of fish and shrimps swimming by, including quite a few first-level demon fish. Nothing happened to them at first, and when they encountered a few first-level demon beasts that wanted to attack them, they were easily killed by them.
Two hours later, hundreds of demon fish with green bodies and some black patterns on their heads appeared in front. They discovered Han Changming and Ye Xue and rushed towards them at a very fast speed.
The individual strength of the blue demon fish is not strong, but they win in numbers.
"It's the blue-spotted fish monster! Don't let them get close."
Han Changming didn't dare to let them really crash into him, so he slapped his spirit beast bag and released the Ice and Fire Python. The Ice and Fire Python was not polite to these green-spotted fish monsters. It opened its two bloody mouths and bit at the green-spotted fish monsters.
Ye Xue was not idle either. She summoned two blue flying swords and chopped the green-spotted fish monster.
Han Changming also threw out two blue flying knives and joined the battle.
With the help of Han Changming and Ye Xue, these blue-spotted fish monsters could not hurt the Ice and Fire Python at all. The Ice and Fire Python opened its two bloody mouths and swallowed some of the smaller blue-spotted fish monsters.
There were too many demon fish, and the second-level magic weapon easily cut them into several pieces, and a small area was dyed blood red.
The smell of blood attracted other monsters, and a large number of first-level monsters rushed towards them at a very fast speed.
"Not good, find a place to hide."
Han Changming quickly put away the Ice and Fire Python that was feasting on the food. Ye Xue pinched her fingers and a blue water curtain quickly flew out of the battle group.
In order to compete for meat, the first-level monsters attacked each other, dyeing a large area blood red, and the sea water was filled with a pungent smell of blood.
Two strange hissing sounds were heard, and two giant blue crabs came running from a distance, their speed was very fast.
"Hey, husband, look, they should be the second-level monster crabs that Uncle Eighteen mentioned!"
Ye Xue let out a light exclamation and pointed at the two blue crabs.
Han Changming saw the blue crab and suddenly realized something. He said, "This is a fiddler crab. They love to hunt blue-spotted fish monsters and are very sensitive to the smell of blood. No wonder they attracted two second-level fiddler crabs. Let's see where their nest is first. Go after them."
Ye Xue controlled the blue water curtain and flew away, three or four hundred feet away from the fiddler crab.
The fiddler crab is relatively large in size, has a hard shell, and is a second-level monster. The other monsters are all first-level and are no match for them at all.
The fiddler crab clamped forward with its two huge claws, easily crushing the head of a green-spotted fish monster. The monster caught by the giant claws of the fiddler crab was either dead or disabled. In addition to the giant claws, the fiddler crab could also release lightning and blue water arrows to attack. The first-level monsters were no match for them and quickly fled from the battle.
After the two fiddler crabs had eaten and drunk their fill, they returned along the way they came. Han Changming and Ye Xue hurriedly followed them, keeping a distance of more than 300 feet between them, so they were not worried about being discovered by the fiddler crabs.
After half an hour, a large colorful coral reef appeared in front of us. On the left side of the coral reef, there was a bumpy stone wall with a huge hole on it. Two fiddler crabs crawled into it. It seemed to be their nest.
Many small fish and shrimps are attracted by the coral reefs and provide food for fiddler crabs. No wonder they build their nests here.
Han Changming walked around the fiddler crab's nest and did not find any other caves or other second-level monsters.
"Husband, we have found the culprit who attacked Red Scorpion Island. Let's go back and report to Uncle Daojing! Let's work together to kill them. These are two second-level fiddler crabs, so it's better to be cautious."
Ye Xue suggested that Han Changming was quite strong, but with the help of his clansmen, there was no need for them to show their bravery.
Han Changming nodded, agreeing with Ye Xue's opinion.
Half a day later, they returned to Red Scorpion Island and reported to Han Daojing everything they had seen.
"The murderers are two second-level low-quality fiddler crabs? Why would they attack Red Scorpion Island for no reason? Their nest is more than ten miles away from Red Scorpion Island. They wouldn't do this if no one is trying to entice them!"
Han Deyun frowned and said, generally speaking, monsters would not attack an island for no reason. The nest of the fiddler crab is more than ten miles away from the Red Scorpion Island. There are coral reefs near the nest, and there must be a lot of small fish and shrimps. It doesn't make sense that they would run more than ten miles away and attack the Red Scorpion Island for no reason!
"Could it be that our tribesmen injured some monsters when they went out to hunt them? If they are angered, these monsters will hold grudges."
Ye Xue put forward her own opinion. She had hunted a first-level fiddler crab in her early years and knew that fiddler crabs were notoriously vengeful.
"No, the people on the island have enough food and drink, so there is no need to hunt monsters. The situation here is rather special. If you go out to hunt monsters without permission, you will easily run into the Chen family monks. They have been stationed on Red Scorpion Island for many years and have rich experience. They will not go out casually."
Han Deyun shook his head and denied Ye Xue's guess.
Han Daojing pondered for a moment and ordered, "Without evidence, anything else is just speculation. So, kill these two fiddler crabs first, and clear the sea area within a radius of 500 miles to prevent similar incidents from happening again."
If it was really done by the Chen family, the Han family would definitely not be polite. If it was not done by the Chen family, but it was a trap, the Han family would only fall into the trap if they launched a revenge action.
The person who set the trap could be a certain person or a certain force. Without solid evidence, Han Daojing would not act recklessly. He was indeed sad that three tribesmen had died, but he had to remain calm. As an elder, he had to set a good example for the younger generations.
"I agree with Uncle Daojing's opinion. Let's kill the two second-level fiddler crabs first, and then clean up the sea area within a radius of 500 miles. I think we can send someone to check if there are any foreign monks active nearby recently. Maybe we can find some clues."
Han Changming expressed his opinion that the Han family is no longer what it used to be. After becoming a father, he has matured a lot and thinks twice before doing anything.
The Chen and Han families have been at odds with each other for many years, and it is easy for outsiders to take advantage of the conflict between the two families. While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains. He must be cautious.
