Proficiency: Cultivated 10 Million Times - Chapter 32
Chapter 32 A Visitor from the Military
The team set off again, and soon everyone was outside the town.
It was almost morning.
The waves were already quite intense at this time. The soldiers who had been guarding here all night looked tired and did not dare to be careless.
They could finally heave a sigh of relief as the shift changed, swaying back to the rear to rest.
“The range of the tide this time is wider, so there are more deep-sea creatures that have been swept ashore. Moreover, it started much earlier than expected.
In the past, the sea should still be calm at this time…” Sun Chengshan looked up and said as he looked at the violent situation on the sea.
“Fortunately, there are a lot more martial artists rushing over from other places this time. Otherwise, the army led by the garrison would really not be enough to defend.”
Wang Yu looked over and realized that many creatures from the sea had already climbed ashore. The army did not have time to eliminate them as they were entrenched near the water level.
The thin leaf fish that he had seen yesterday had water spiders. Even green-spotted snakes occasionally appeared. It required many powerful martial artists to deal with them together.
Half of the stone slope they had found yesterday had been swallowed by the rising water. Some strange deep-sea creatures occupied the remaining territory. Among them were a few green-spotted snakes that looked terrifying.
Since they could not go to the stone slope, Sun Chengshan called for his disciples to deal with the less dangerous deep-sea creatures, such as the most common thin leaf fish or some water spiders that have shriveled up.
As for the two fourth-level Body Tempering disciples, Wang Yu and Song Hezheng, Sun Chengshan let them do whatever they wanted.
After all, the two disciples were quite reliable. There was no need for him to say anything.
A moment later, everyone scattered.
“Eh?” Wang Yu glanced around and saw a huge crab slowly climbing up not far away. It was even bigger than a washbasin.
Its pair of saffron-striped pincers was wide open and strutted.
The Red Rhinoceros Crab was a creature from the deep sea that was 2,000 meters away. As long as one paid attention to its large pincers, a third-level Body Tempering disciple would be able to deal with it.
The meat was quite delicious. As a precious ingredient, it was as effective as blood pork. In fact, considering that it was also an excellent and delicious ingredient, it was usually more expensive than blood pork.
When transported to developed areas, there were many rich people who were willing to buy such top-notch ingredients.
Various information about deep-sea creatures that Sun Chengshan had asked them to memorize flashed across Wang Yu’s mind, and he immediately locked onto his target.

“Kid, move aside.” A fierce-looking burly man rushed over. He had also targeted this red crab and threatened Wang Yu.
He was a foreign martial artist. In his opinion, what skills could this young disciple of the martial arts school have? He was probably a fledgling who had yet to see real blood. He did not care at all.
Wang Yu frowned slightly. This person had a fierce aura and blood was dripping down from the saber in his hand. It was unknown if it was the blood of human or the sea beasts.
For a moment, he was unsure of this person’s combat strength. He was not in a hurry and took a few steps back to give way.
Liu Liehu looked disdainful as he swept past Wang Yu and looked at the fat red crab with greed in his eyes.
He knew very well that if he sold such a red crab to the local martial artists, it could only be sold for 20 to 30 thousand crystal dollars.
But if he sold it to Nance’s capital, with the generosity of the local wealthy men there, he could probably sell it for 50 to 60 thousand.
This amount of money was enough for him to buy other precious ingredients and meat for months of cultivation.
Sensing the threat, the red crab narrowed its eyes and blew bubbles. It raised its two large pincers and charged at Liu Liehu.
“Hmph, a mere Red Rhinoceros Crab!” Liu Liehu’s saber slashed horizontally in a rather confident manner at the bottom of the pincers, as if he wanted to cut it off neatly so that it would not ruin its value.
However, although the red rhinoceros crab was not agile enough, its outer shell was extremely thick and hard.
His confident slash could not even crack the shell a bit, let alone break it.
Instead, he almost lost an arm to the crab’s pincers.
When Wang Yu saw this, his frown relaxed.
He had almost figured out the strength of this ferocious-looking martial artist.
His cultivation level was only at the third level of Body Tempering, and his saber technique could only be said to be passable. He was far inferior to Dragon Zhou, the captain of the Public Security Bureau.
He might be able to kill this red crab by grinding with it slowly, but that was all.
Wang Yu couldn’t be bothered to watch. When Liu Liehu was forced back by the crab pincers, he rushed forward with his bare hands.
It was so fast that the crab didn’t even have time to turn away.
Wang Yu stepped heavily on the crab shell, and the huge impact directly pushed it down, causing the crab shell to crack.
Then, he used the Hong Family Fist and shattered the crab’s shell and head.
Before the red crab could even counterattack, it was killed by Wang Yu with ease.
Moreover, the body was quite intact. It should be able to be sold for a good price.
Liu Liehu was stunned from afar, his expression stiff.
“Fo… Fourth level of Body Tempering…”
He did not expect Wang Yu, a young disciple who was not even twenty years old, to have such a high cultivation level and fight so fiercely.
Seeing Wang Yu step on the crab and look over, his heart skipped a beat.
“It was misunderstanding, misunderstanding. This red crab is yours. Goodbye!”
With that, Liu Liehu ran off.
A rogue cultivator like him definitely had the ability to seek benefits and avoid the danger in every place.
Generally speaking, it was obvious who were the ones he could afford to offend and who were the ones he could not.
However, he had misjudged Wang Yu today.
Fortunately, Wang Yu was not a bloodthirsty person. Otherwise, he might not have been able to escape.
Wang Yu also knew the personality of such wanderers.
If this person still did not understand the situation and refused to let him off, he would naturally not let him off.
Seeing that the other party had tactfully fled, he ignored him.
Anyway, he had already obtained his target, a huge crab worth tens of thousands.
“It’s really the techniques of Hong Family Fist. Interesting. Where did this kid learn it?”
Two people in the distance approached slowly. One of them spoke. His voice sounded amused, as if he had discovered a new continent.
Wang Yu looked over. The two of them were young men in their twenties. The white armor they were wearing made them look a little serious.
The patterns on the white armor were very similar to the military armor worn by the guards.
This was the unique armor of Nance’s army. The identities of the two people in front of him went without saying.
They were from the military!
He also noticed a word at the collar of their white armor.
The word “Lu” on the guard’s armor represented the Lu family, which was a military family.
But the word ‘Shi’ was on both of them.
It could be inferred that they were military personnel from other island towns.
The two of them sized up Wang Yu as they approached.
As Shi Yang sized him up, his attention suddenly fell on the big crab at Wang Yu’s feet, and his eyes lit up.
“Good, this Red Rhino Crab really is of superb quality. It’s a high-quality seafood. It’s not easy to see such a thing in the capital.”
He was pleasantly surprised. He had forgotten about the Hong Family Fist.
Guan Yunwu, who was holding an umbrella at the side, said helplessly.
“Young Master, now is not the time to eat. We have to quickly find Commander Lu so that we can hand over the mission.”
“What’s the hurry? Look, isn’t this place very good? Everyone is busy catching seafood. There’s no dangerous strange thing.” Shi Yang curled his lips indifferently.
Then, he pointed at the red crab at Wang Yu’s feet with a smile and discussed, “Friend, how about selling this to me? I’ll pay 50,000 dollars.”
This crab has to be eaten immediately after it’s dried. Otherwise, the meat won’t be so tender after a few days.”
Wang Yu did not expect the other party to suddenly quote a price. After some thought, he put down his leg and said very straightforwardly, “Alright, deal.”
The other party seemed to have a powerful background and the price of 50,000 dollars was reasonable. It would be easier for him to sell it right here than to anyone else.
“Hahaha, okay. Guan, pay up.” Shi Yang was overjoyed. He picked up the entire crab and thought that he was in for a treat today.
It seemed that coming to this remote place was not entirely a bad thing.
