Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1455: Dividing Treasures
Without the protection of two ninth-tier crab kings, the billions of crab demons of the Pine Leaf Crab Clan were simply unable to mount an effective resistance.

The human cultivator army advanced like a whirlwind, their sword light and magic seals weaving a net that slaughtered the surging crab demons in droves.

However, the number of crab demons was simply too great. Countless figures poured out of the underwater cave, and the battle to exterminate them lasted for three whole days and three nights. Layers upon layers of snow crab remains floated on the sea surface, turning the seawater dark red, and the air was filled with a heavy fishy smell and the acrid smell of burning spiritual energy.

When the battle ended, apart from a few crab demons who managed to escape in the chaos, the vast majority of the crab demons became spoils of war for the human cultivators.

For the human cultivators participating in the war, the snow crab is a treasure from head to toe. Its hard shell can be used to refine magical artifacts, and its tender meat can be used to cook delicious spiritual dishes and refine elixirs. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the cultivators to participate in the war is extremely high.

Under the leadership of Duan Yuwei, Xiao Zier and others, the Liu family cultivators achieved extremely rich results. The spoils they obtained filled the storage bracelets of every participating cultivator. The abundance of their harvest brought joy to every cultivator in the clan.

After this battle, the threat of the crab demons in the waters off Pine Leaf Island was basically eliminated. Although the human alliance suffered heavy losses, it ultimately ended in a perfect victory, bringing long-awaited peace to this sea area.

However, to Liu Changxu's surprise, Jin Haonan and Zhang Wenping, who went to pursue the escaped ninth-tier crab king, did not return until the end of the battle. Liu Changxu frowned slightly, a few doubts rising in his heart. With their strength, even if the crab king fought back desperately, it should not have taken so long.

Seeing that the two had not returned, Liu Changxu temporarily suppressed his doubts and turned to enter the Ruyi Lotus Palace, preparing to inventory the storage bracelets he had seized from the slain ninth-tier crab king. He probed the bracelets with his divine sense, carefully examining the items inside, but a hint of disappointment slowly crept onto his face.

Although this Crab King was the strongest among the Pine Leaf Crab Clan, the ninth-tier spiritual items in his storage bracelet were rather meager. The ninth-tier spiritual herbs and fruits that Liu Changxu valued most were completely empty in the bracelet; after searching repeatedly, he only found thirty-five pieces of ninth-tier spiritual gold and three ninth-tier water-elemental pearls. Apart from that, there were only some spiritual items below the ninth tier that he didn't need, which was hardly a substantial amount.

However, upon careful consideration, he realized that such a harvest was quite normal. After all, ninth-grade spiritual herbs and fruits could enhance one's rank and strength, and normally, one would consume them upon obtaining them. Moreover, the Crab Clan lived on an island, where ninth-grade spiritual herbs and fruits were even more precious. Even if they existed, they would not have survived until now.

Two days later, Jin Haonan and Zhang Wenping finally appeared in the sky above Songye Island.

Liu Changxu stepped forward, but before he could speak, Zhang Wenping sighed, a hint of helplessness on his face, and said:
"We still let it escape."

Upon hearing this, Liu Changxu raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not say anything more.

As a top-tier powerhouse in this world, it's perfectly normal for the ninth-tier Crab King to have trump cards to protect itself. It's not too surprising that the two of them couldn't catch it even after chasing it this far.

He raised his hand and said, "It's alright. We have already won this battle. Even if that ninth-tier crab king escapes, it will be difficult for it to pose a significant threat to us."

"How about we go check out the Crab King's underground secret space first and see what good things it left behind!"

Zhang Wenping, who was standing nearby, took the initiative to suggest:

"Okay!"

Liu Changxu nodded in agreement, his tone tinged with curiosity.

As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them simultaneously erupted with brilliant spiritual light, their figures transforming into three streams of light that soared into the sky before plummeting downwards. Their magical power surged, forcefully piercing through layers upon layers of spatial barriers. With a soft "hum," the scene before them changed abruptly, and the three of them had already stepped into the underground secret realm where the Crab King had previously hidden.

Stepping into this secret realm is like entering a boundless, fantastical world. Its space is incredibly vast, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. Looking up, one sees a dense concentration of water-attribute spiritual energy permeating the air.

Looking down, one sees an endless expanse of azure ocean beneath one's feet. The seawater is clear and deep, and one can vaguely see colorful fish and shrimp swimming happily in the water. In the deeper part, seabed reefs of various shapes appear and disappear, some like majestic mountains, others like adorable giant beasts, quietly sleeping on the seabed.

Liu Changxu immediately unleashed the terrifying divine sense of a mid-stage Mahayana expert, spreading out like an invisible giant net to envelop the entire secret realm. Every inch of the sea, every reef, and every fish within the secret realm was clearly presented in his perception. In just a moment, he discovered the location of the underwater cave of the two ninth-tier crab kings.

At that moment, Jin Haonan also discovered the location of the cave, and then turned to the two of them, gesturing for them to enter, and said:
"Junior brothers, let's go explore this Crab King Cave!"

"it is good!"

Liu Changxu and Zhang Wenping responded in unison:
Before the words were even finished, the three figures blurred together, transforming into three streaks of light as fast as lightning, and instantly disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they had already entered the secret underwater crab king's cave.

What one sees is that the Crab King Cave is far more luxurious than imagined. The cave walls and floor are all paved with high-grade jade, which flows with a lustrous sheen.

High-grade pearls and spirit jades, considered treasures by outsiders, are scattered here like ordinary pebbles. Because of their sheer number, they shimmer and sparkle, dazzling the eye.

Although there were many treasures in the underwater cave, very few of them were truly worthy of their attention; the vast majority were spiritual items below the ninth rank that they had no use for.

The three searched the entire cave carefully and finally found only six ninth-order treasure pearls, ten ninth-order spirit jades, and eight ninth-order spirit golds.

Jin Haonan picked up a piece of ninth-grade spirit gold, weighed it in his hand, and said with a smile:

"That's exactly twenty-four ninth-tier spiritual items. Junior brothers, let's just split them evenly! That'll make eight items each!"

Zhang Wenping held the ninth-tier golden pearl, admiring it greatly, and immediately nodded in agreement:
"Sure, I have no problem with that!"

Liu Changxu examined these ninth-tier spiritual items and nodded, saying:
"I don't have any problem either!"

So the three of them discussed the specific distribution details.

Since the specific values ​​of these twenty-four ninth-tier spiritual items were not significantly different, the three quickly came up with a specific distribution plan.

Finally, Liu Changxu took a precious pearl, three pieces of spirit jade, and four pieces of spirit gold.

Jin Haonan and Zhang Wenping also received the spiritual items they wanted.

As for the remaining spiritual items below the ninth rank, the three of them didn't even count them, but directly divided them into three groups and each put them away.

Having completed their exploration of one Crab King Cave, the three immediately headed to another.

The situation was similar in the other Crab King Cave; the three of them found twenty-nine ninth-tier spiritual items.

In the end, Liu Changxu received ten ninth-tier spiritual items, which was a decent haul.
