The Inheritor 61 Lunar Crab King

[All this would change if they have Lunar Crab King; Lunar Crab king will form a closely knit crab community called the Star Crab Domain. All the crab will support each other; so once you provoke a single crab it will be like poking a honey bee comb.]

[Generally, the Dark Star Crabs will burn their life force which will ignite their sh.e.l.l with white sparks; when it goes berserk it will double its size and fight even more aggressively but the crab under a Dark Star Domain will use its like force to send a signal to its fellow crabs about the invaders.]

[Though the horde will retreat to their nest holes after an hour if they fail to catch the enemy, all the crabs will be extremely vigilant so sneaking up on them would be impossible; not only that the crabs will be like suicide bombers, the moment they saw you it will send the signal and die in the process.]

[Boss, in short, we're in Deep SH*T, so to collect the jade pearls you must strike like thunder and get a one-shot kill.]

Elgar paused some time to let everything sink in before letting out a sigh.

[Like every cloud has its silver line, all the nest holes in a Star Crab Domain will at least have a jade pearl. But Boss why hasn't your school mentioned anything about the Star Crab Domain.]

'Who knows maybe they were too lazy to update the info or the school just doesn't want the kids to collect Jade Pearls or because of the dangers involved'

[Oh!! that could be true, but what are we going to do. It seems like we can't earn the windfall as we planned; even if we know everything about the Dark Star Crab Caves without strength we can never collect enough.....]

'SHOOO!! the horde is nearing; though Quinn did believe his school it couldn't reduce the anxiety by any margin'

THUD...THUD....Thud.....

Although everyone tried their best to see what was going on, there were too many rocks and other obstacles blocking the vision; more over the Horde of Crab was at least mile away from them so the most distant thing they could see was a brown blur.

The horde was slowly but steadily marching towards them, but exactly a mile from the lake they stopped.

When the sound suddenly stopped Quinn got suspicious so transformed his Soul Spirit to right eyes and closed his left eyes; slowly the blur brown rocks blocking became clear and he could see the crabs through the gaps.

Quinn was astounded seeing the Horde of Crabs, no it was more like an army of crabs. They were perfectly organized, all the crabs were in the perfect formation of 10 files and it was like an endless snake.

All Quinn could see was lots of black dots from here, the horde had more than enough crabs to smash them into a pulp by just running over them. The only thing a.s.suring was they all stopped exactly a mile away from the lake, which means they were safe.

Still, Quinn didn't put his guard down; he silently waited for an hour before the Crab army dispersed. Only then he let out a sigh before crumbling into the ground. Actually, the fight wasn't really that exhausting but observing the crabs for an hour sucked him dry.

He could only use the temporarily enhanced vision for a minute; so he observed the crabs every 10 minutes, but this short break wasn't sufficient enough the recover.

Though he didn't go into a deep slumber, Quinn was temporarily immobilized and Kallis had to carry him back to their camp. Out of the four, two of them were temporarily impaired Quinn felt helpless seeing their pathetic state.

After reaching the camp both Quinn and Boris started to recuperate; both of them literally had inhumane vitality so the recovery was a speedy one, it only took an hour or so.

Quinn still had a mild headache while Boris made complete recovery he was as active as a young bull. Kallis and Lardo took care of them without even taking an ounce of rest; all their stomachs started their protest so Kallis took their loot and the cookware their Butler packed. They were all tired so he was just making boiled eggs.

"Hey, Kallis where's the Jade Pearl?" Quinn completely forgot about the Jade pearls in the ha.s.sle.

"Big bro the Cave didn't have any pearls, it only had these eggs and a pile's wastes."

Kallis told with a slight hint of self-blame and his friends were a bit upset; all they got was a few eggs after toiling for hours together.

'Elgar, what's going on?'

Quinn was also slightly shocked as Elgar just said all the nest hole will have Jade Pearls as this was Star Crab Domain.

[Don't worry Boss, one of the seven eggs is the Jade pearl. Wait a bit, I'll scan to find which one is Jade Pearl. Boss the one at the rightmost corner is the Jade Pearl, quickly break it open I'll appraise its value.]

Quinn masterfully picked up that particular eggs and threw it at a hard rock; all his friends were shocked seeing Quinn lunatic act. They spent the entire day collecting these eggs and Quinn just smashed one of the eggs.

They all thought Quinn lost his temper over their failure to seize School Credits but strangely Quinn bent down and fumbled with the sticky yoke a bit before taking a fist size Jade Pearl from the wreckage.

The Jade pearl seemed to camouflage itself within the egg unless you remove the sticky yoke part from the pearl it would reveal its true form.

Everyone jumped in shock and awed at Quinn stunt; his friends started their celebrations especially Kallis was the over excited seeing the pearl. He was always feeling guilty for not coming up with the pearl.

[Boss this one's worth 600 credits.]

Elgar was slightly disappointed with its value; after all, they did put lots of efforts. But Quinn didn't bother with the credits as he was trying to come up with some ingenious plan to ama.s.s Jade Pearls.

"Hey, guys I've valued the Jade Pearl we got, it's worth 600 school credit so we will all get 150 credits each. CHEERS!!"

All his friends were happily partying their first success, they were all kids so they didn't know if it was large or small; it fun that's all they could see, a rather pure world.

Soon they all got their dinner, a simple boiled egg, a rather large egg. But it was too crude and tasteless strangely all of them were satisfied with the food.

Though the eggs weren't appetizing or tasty everyone was too hungry to be picky, as the saying goes, 'Hungry Stomach could savor anything'. So they all enjoyed their simple dinner.
