  At this time, the new fishman prophet Fingart walked into the stilt house, and then bowed respectfully at Richard's door and reported:

  "Master, a mutant crab demon was discovered by the warriors of our tribe. Its current location is in a cave in the Gray Fern Wilderness."

  "Hey! You have found such a rare monster as the mutant crab monster? Well done!" Richard's face lit up and he couldn't help but say happily.

  You know, the Heart of the Mutant Crab Demon is the main raw material for another top-secret formula of the Blind Murloc - the Mutant Heart.

  The "Blind Clan's Potion-Making Notes" records a total of eleven potion recipes, seven of which are only effective for murlocs, and four of which are effective for all races.

  Among these four, the two most valuable formulas are the golden horned frog eggs and the mutant heart.

  Of course, to make the [Mutated Heart], you also need the combination of precious auxiliary materials such as the Troll Mantis Eye. In addition, the difficulty of making the Mutated Heart is only higher than that of the Golden Horned Frog Egg.

  Of course, the effect is also better.

  In fact, it is not easy to compare the two directly.

  This is because the golden horned frog eggs increase the affinity for dark elements, while the mutant heart increases the mental strength.

  According to the fishman's notes, the mutated heart can slightly improve the mental strength. As for how much this slight improvement is, there is no specific quantitative statement in the notes.

  10% is a small amount, and 15% can also be considered a small amount.

  But this is not the key point, because Richard will not miss any potion that can improve the wizard's qualifications!

  After all, after having the inspiration panel, wizard qualification has become his only shortcoming.

  Half an hour later, Richard, surrounded by a group of fully armed fishmen, marched towards the cave where the mutant crab demon was.

  Since the last time, Richard has shown his prowess repeatedly in killing the demon horned frogs, which has rapidly improved the status of Richard, an outsider, in the hearts of the murloc warriors.

  Although Richard was just a "wandering wizard" who was "hired" by the prophet of his tribe to help hunt monsters, his powerful strength made ordinary murloc warriors admire him very much.

  Because of Richard's magical witchcraft, the blind mermaid tribe reaped a rich harvest when hunting the devil horned frogs.

  This made the middle and high-level murloc warriors in the murloc tribe gradually develop a favorable impression of Richard, especially the last time they harvested a lot of demon horned frogs, which reminded them that when the last murloc prophet was here, the blind tribe was also so powerful.

  In the eyes of ordinary murloc warriors, anyone who is powerful and helps them is worthy of respect, regardless of whether they are murlocs or not.

  Especially because of the appearance of Richard, the casualties of these ordinary soldiers were greatly reduced.

  Along the way, some ignorant wild beasts appeared and instantly became the team's collection.

  Among them, there is one that looks like a honey badger, an alien version of the "Flat-Headed Brother". After seeing the huge lineup of forty or fifty fishmen, it actually dared to rush up to attack. It was really crazy.

  This made Richard sigh that such fearless creatures can be found everywhere.

  A few seconds later, a dead "Flathead Brother" appeared on the wooden stick carried by a fishman warrior.

  After about an hour, they arrived at the entrance of a cave at least four or five meters high, surrounded by the remains of wild animals of all sizes.

  Just when the murloc warriors had arranged their formation and were ready for battle, the creatures in the cave seemed to have noticed something was wrong.

  At this time, one could smell gusts of fishy wind coming out of the cave. After a while, a terrifying monster with a huge body and strange appearance crawled out of it.

  The monster's tall and ferocious appearance immediately made many ordinary fishman warriors change color and they involuntarily took two steps back.

  This is the mutant crab monster, a large monster that looks like a hybrid of a spider and a crab. It is six meters wide and more than three meters high.

  Judging from its size alone, it has already surpassed the shell-back octopus that Richard had killed before, which is also a large monster.

  Unfortunately, the Soul-Eating Demon Spider is now on his shoulder, and the Shell-Back Octopus has been used as blood food and stored in the cellar of the Blind Murloc Tribe.

  The Soul-Eating Demon Spider cannot leave the corpse it is hosting for too long, as the proteins and other organic matter in the corpse will change their properties, making it impossible to control the corpse again.

  Last time, Richard let the Soul-Eating Demon Spider crawl out of the Shell-Back Octopus and enter the body of the merman Dib. After reading Dib's memory, it could no longer be controlled because it had been away from the Shell-Back Octopus's body for too long.

  Otherwise, you can also see the battle scene between two large monsters.

  A mutant crab demon, its body is covered with a hard dark green shell, the surface of which is covered with dense spikes. It has four pairs of limbs and a pair of exaggeratedly large claws.

  The hard shell is invulnerable to swords and guns and immune to most physical damage, which makes the mutant crab demon extremely difficult to kill. Ordinary murloc warriors probably can't even pierce its shell with one blow.

  At this moment, the mutant crab demon seemed very angry about a group of ants surrounding his door.

  After making two sharp "hissing" sounds as a warning, it saw that the ants did not disperse, and the next second, it rushed towards the many fish-man warriors.

  The four pairs of limbs, or eight knife-like feet, moved very quickly. A dark green shadow flashed by, and the mutant crab demon knocked away several fish-man warriors at the front of the queue.

  "Swish! Swish!" The mutant crab demon used its huge pincers to clamp the two fishman warriors who were knocked into the air in half!

  Suddenly, there was a rain of blood, along with internal organs, falling down.

  This terrifying killing power immediately crushed the morale of the ordinary murloc warriors, and they all had fear on their faces. If it weren't for the mid- and high-level murloc warriors supporting them, they would probably have fled in all directions.

  Before coming, the Blind Murloc Tribe was also prepared. Each ordinary Murloc warrior had a long wooden pole as thick as a bowl, more than three meters long, with one end sharpened.

  But at present, this attack only caused a little trouble to the mutant crab demon. It couldn't even pierce the thorny shell, but just added some white spots!

  Richard looked at the mutant crab demon. After repelling a high-level fishman warrior, it relied on its huge advantage in size to wreak havoc among the fishmen. He frowned and thought to himself:

  "The strength of this mutant crab demon is a bit beyond expectations. It is even stronger than the back shell octopus. I am afraid that even a third-level wizard apprentice would be defeated if he encountered it.

  We can't let it attack any longer. Otherwise, even if we win, most of the warriors of the Murloc tribe will probably be killed or injured.

  I was thinking of letting the fishmen warriors consume its energy first, but now it seems I have to take action!"

  Richard gently pointed the bone summoning staff in his hand, and a huge circular light green magic circle appeared on the ground, and four skeleton summons crawled out of it.

  This time, Richard only summoned one skeleton archer, and the other three were all skeleton guards holding swords and shields.

  As soon as the three skeleton guards appeared, they followed Richard's instructions and rushed towards the mutant crab demon with a "crackling" sound.

  Richard cast a dark element shield and bone armor on himself, then began to chant a spell.

  Suddenly, a ball of gray fog and a ball of black fog descended on the mutant crab demon's head one after another, instantly reducing its movement speed and attack speed. These were the two level-0 spells that Richard had cast consecutively, the slowness spell and the weakness spell.  

  At this moment, the three sword and shield skeletons also rushed to the mutant crab demon and started fighting with it.

  However, due to the huge difference in size, the three of them couldn't hold on for too long and were knocked away from time to time!

  "Fingart, use acid splash to reduce its defense!"

  A few seconds later, Fingart cast a splash of zero-level witchcraft acid, a large ball of pungent green liquid, which poured onto the mutant crab demon.

  Suddenly, a corrosion sound of "hissing" was heard, and the mutant crab demon couldn't help but feel severe pain for the first time!

  Looking at the opponent's originally hard and thorny shell, it was now full of pits and the defense was greatly reduced.

  Richard's face lit up with joy, and he immediately used his secret technique to possess the skeleton, and then took out the arrows that he had prepared, which were tied with the Fire Dance Star and the Silver Moon Dust, and continuously fired multiple shots to attack the corroded area of ​​the mutant crab demon!

  With a loud explosion of "boom boom boom!", the mutant crab demon was immediately enveloped by strong flames and thick black smoke.

  The next second, a scream that echoed throughout the entire venue came from the center of the venue. Many murloc warriors had their eardrums ruptured by the horrific sound waves, and they fell to the ground with their heads in their hands in pain.

  And the mutant crab demon was also severely injured by Richard this time!

  The shell, which had originally been corroded by acid, was no longer able to withstand the violent explosion of the Fire Dancing Stars mixed with the Silver Moon Dust, no matter how strong it was.

  The corroded area on the body had large pieces of carapace shattered, and streams of dark green body fluids were oozing out.

  At this moment, the angry mutant crab demon was raising his two crab eyes and staring at the skeleton archer not far away.

  It was this guy who shot me so hard!

  The next second, the mutant crab demon rushed towards the skeleton archer with all his strength!

  Richard's reaction was also extremely quick. He immediately put a dark element shield on his own skeleton archer who was attracting fire.

  The master-level dark element shield only takes 0.2 seconds to cast.

  Double pincer combo!

  In an instant, the mutant crab demon swung its huge claws quickly, leaving behind several afterimages!

  "Ka-ka-ka!"

  After the giant claws struck several times like a whirlwind, the skeleton archer was no longer in human form. He was broken into three pieces, and the hard white bones on his body were shattered to the ground.

  "Hiss! The attack power of these two pairs of pincers is so terrifying! My own master-level dark element shield could only withstand two hits before it broke." Richard was shocked and thought to himself.

  However, this is obviously also some kind of special ability of the mutant crab demon, which cannot be used continuously and needs to be charged.

  After a while, it was surrounded by three skeleton guards again, and was harassed by mid- and high-level murloc warriors. For a while, the battle situation became tense.

  "Fingat, keep splashing acid and attack the injured part!"

  While instructing Fingart, Richard performed the Grasp of Shadow, which was the most powerful level 0 magic he knew.

  "Zizzi!" Another violent corrosion sound was heard. This time, the mutant crab demon saw that it was the guy with the fishbone staff who was attacking it.

  But the few small bugs around it kept harassing it, which was really annoying!

  Suddenly, the mutant crab monster raised its huge claws high!

  "No! Get out of the way!" Richard shouted immediately, but he realized as soon as he finished speaking that the fishmen might not understand what he was saying.

  "Boom!" The pair of giant pincers slammed heavily on the ground. With the impact point as the center, the ground suddenly cracked deeply. The shock wave instantly formed concentric circles and spread to all directions.

  The originally calm ground around was now as soft and mushy as noodles, as it turned over like a terrestrial dragon under the impact of circles of energy ripples.

  Immediately, the skeleton guards closest to it and several mid- and high-level murloc warriors lost their balance and were blown into the air, all of them injured.

  The ordinary fish-man warriors at a distance also instantly fell to the ground, unable to stand steadily, and lay on the ground.

  In an instant, the mutant crab demon stretched out its two pincers like lightning and clamped Richard's two skeleton guards in mid-air, along with their shields and bones, into two pieces!

  The fierceness was unmatched!

  Just as the mutant crab demon cleared the surroundings and was about to sprint towards Fingart.

  A giant dark element hand with a diameter of more than two meters suddenly appeared and grabbed its broken shell heavily at such a fast speed that it had no time to react.

  This is the Grasp of Shadow after casting the secret art of Prowl. The giant hand of dark element suddenly disappears in the shadow, and then suddenly appears again from behind, often catching the opponent off guard.

  The dark elemental hand, under Richard's control, was as flexible as a human hand. It deeply penetrated the broken shell of the mutant crab demon and pulled it out fiercely!

  It was like an alien version of "Black Tiger Heart-pulling"!

  The next second, a large pool of internal organs was pulled out by the dark elemental hand controlled by Richard.

  No matter how strong the mutant crab demon's body was, it could not withstand such an injury that almost hollowed out its internal organs. It let out a miserable howl and collapsed to the ground.

  [Found that it can absorb energy, yes/no? ]

  "yes!"

  [Gained 8239 energy points.]

  "Hiss! The mutant crab demon is indeed powerful. The energy points it gave are probably the most in history!" Richard murmured.

  Seeing that the fishmen warriors seemed to be planning to carry away the mutant crab demon, Richard changed his mind and whispered to Fingart:

  "Leave this mutant crab demon here. I can use it. Just tell them that I want to transform into a zombie and let the mutant crab demon help me fight."

  So, Richard pretended to draw a complicated hexagram array under the mutant crab demon, as if he was performing a zombie transformation ritual.

  In fact, Richard secretly released the Soul-Eating Spider and let it crawl into the body of the mutant crab demon to possess it, thus disguising itself as a zombie.

  As the Soul Devouring Spider began to devour the soul of the Mutant Crab Demon, Richard once again felt the sensation of being in high spirits!

  However, judging from the feedback of soul energy, the effect of the Mutant Crab Demon was not as strong as that of the Brain Devouring Monster.

  I think this may have something to do with the fact that one uses the brain more and the other uses the body more.

  After a while, the mutant crab demon stood up shakily.

  This immediately made the surrounding murloc warriors cheer.
