The monster that looked like a giant crab seemed to have grasped a certain technique similar to the Soul Igniting Law, which allowed it to burst into a violent ocean of fire from a flickering spark in only one moment.
The dried mud shell around its body cracked and fell off, unleashing such a daunting aura that it was as impressive as any high-level demon beast that Li Yao had ever come across. Before anyone was able to react, the monster lunged at the spectral Cultivator at the front.
Thankfully, Meng Chixin and Wu Suiyun, the two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, having been attacked by such monsters before, had already raised their wariness to the maximum since the moment the 'fossil' showed up. Right when the seemingly ossified 'shell' cracked, Li Yao opened his fingers and yanked the spectral Cultivator back by the technique of remote manipulation. He then stood between the monster and the members of the exploration team.
