From breaking the limits of the White Ape Fist to becoming a martial arts saint.

Chapter 36 Fierce Battle Against the Ghostly Face, Treasure Light Shines from the Bottom of the Wate

Without any hesitation, Su Yu threw down the heavy harpoon, activated the Fish Tail Swing, and with a powerful push of his legs, he shot towards the water like an arrow.

Behind them, the huge black shadow rumbled and crushed over the underwater rocks, like a runaway heavy tank, relentlessly biting and refusing to let go!

"Splash!"

With a splash, Su Yu leaped out of the water like a flying fish, braced himself against the gunwale with one hand, and nimbly flipped himself onto the boat.

Almost simultaneously.

"boom!"

A massive claw, covered in thick green hair and gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, burst out of the water, raised high, and with a suffocating sense of oppression, blocked the sunlight shining from afar.

"It's a Blacksteel Demon Crab! Get out of the way!"

In the distance, Old Man Jiang's face paled in shock, and he cried out. He had encountered such a ferocious creature once before when he was young.

That ghost crab was much smaller than this one, but it was still able to snap the anchor in two with a single claw. If it hadn't been for good luck, it would have lost its life long ago.

Su Yu glanced at the giant pincers on the water's surface and couldn't help but curse, "Beast!"

Instead of eating the big fish in the net, the ghost crab chased after him, clearly seeing him as prey!

"Watch out!" Old Man Jiang shouted again.

As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost crab surfaced, revealing its enormous body, and charged towards Su Yu's awning boat, brandishing its pincers.

Su Yu had caught his breath and, seeing the enemy's aggressive approach, dared not be careless. He grabbed the spare iron harpoon from the bow and stepped onto the bow.

His spine tightened instantly, and his blood and qi surged into his arms like a raging torrent. He raised the harpoon high and stared intently at the charging ghost crab.

In the water, Su Yu had no intention of fighting the giant crab, but on the surface, he had to give it a try!

The next moment, the ghost crab arrived in front of the boat, and its sharp right claw, like a knife or scissors, slammed down on Su Yu's head.

Even before the attack landed, it stirred up huge waves and strong winds. With such power, if it were to hit, it would probably smash the awning boat to pieces.

"Get out of the way!" Jiang Mu shouted anxiously from a distance, her pretty face turning pale with fright.

Su Yu remained calm, gripping the harpoon with both hands and using it to block the giant pincers.

Instead of directly confronting the jagged edges of the giant pincers, he rammed into the joint.

"Clang!"

A deafening clang of metal rang out across the water. The harpoon and the giant pincers clashed violently, sending up a huge spray of water.

A terrifying force traveled through Su Yu's body via the harpoon, causing all his muscles to tense up. He let out a loud shout, and the ship's deck beneath his feet groaned under the strain.

The entire awning boat suddenly sank downwards, and then its stern rose high, like a crescent moon hanging in the sky!

Using the force of the recoil, Su Yu moved forward instead of backward, stepping on the ship's side and leaping into the air.

"die!"

The harpoon in Su Yu's hand, which had already bent, transformed into a black lightning bolt and stabbed fiercely at the Ghost Crab's protruding, fist-sized eyeballs!

The attack was as swift as thunder. The ghost crab was incredibly powerful, but fortunately, it wasn't agile enough on the water and couldn't react in time.

"Pfft!"

The blade pierced the flesh, and the eyeball instantly burst, splattering out a large amount of foul-smelling, dark green liquid.

"hiss!!!"

The Ghost Crab let out a painful hiss, a sharp and piercing sound like metal scraping against glass.

Its massive body crashed heavily onto the water, creating a giant wave several meters high. It spewed out large amounts of white foam from its mouth, and its two giant claws thrashed wildly, stirring up the water and causing it to churn and explode like thunder.

The battle between Su Yu and the Ghost Face Crab appeared slow, but in reality, it happened in an instant.

"A great opportunity!"

Old Jiang, with his sharp eyes, shot out the harpoon he had been holding in the distance.

"Whoosh!"

The harpoon, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, aimed straight at the carapace of the demon crab.

"Clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere!

The harpoon, powerful enough to pierce a large fish, only left a white mark on the black carapace before being bounced high into the air.

"What a hard shell!" Old Man Jiang gasped.

Although the demon-faced crab was ferocious, it was also extremely intelligent. Startled by the flying harpoon and having lost an eye, it dared not fight again. Its massive body quickly submerged and disappeared into the murky depths in the blink of an eye, leaving only a trail of bloody bubbles.

"call……"

Su Yu let out a long breath, threw down the broken harpoon, his arm trembling slightly.

so close!

This Black Steel Ghost Crab is incredibly powerful. If I hadn't been careless and surfaced, allowing myself to sneak up on its vital points, I wouldn't have been able to fight back at all.

Judging from Old Man Jiang's attack just now, the power was definitely not bad, yet it was difficult to break through the defense at all.

We need to leave quickly to prevent it from coming back!

He quickly pulled up the wire mesh, and the iron shuttle was still stuck in the mesh, which could be considered an unexpected gain.

"Brother Su, this is an Iron Bone Shuttle, a good thing! Let's leave quickly to prevent that Ghost Face Crab from coming back," Old Man Jiang suggested.

Su Yu nodded, pulled the harpoon off the iron-boned shuttle, and threw the catch into the cabin. The fact that the harpoon could still be used was an unexpected surprise.

But the biggest surprise was underwater.

Su Yu gazed into the deep water and activated his Listening to the Waves to Determine Position. A profound sense surged into his mind, instantly filling Su Yu with joy.

There's definitely something good here!

Just now, what he was thinking about wasn't the ghost-faced crab, but Bao Zhi!

He had caught a glimpse of the glowing plants underwater and immediately sensed something unusual. Coupled with the presence of the powerful Ghost Crab nearby, it was highly likely they were guarding something.

Sure enough, his hunch was right.

Bo-shik!

This is even more precious than the treasure fish. A single treasure plant can easily cost hundreds of taels of silver, and some even have special effects, such as being used in medicine and alchemy. They can be planted for a long time, and their value is immeasurable.

I've heard that these precious plants are all controlled by powerful families, and ordinary people can't get their hands on them at all.

However, with our current strength, it's really difficult to obtain this precious plant. Facing that terrifying ghost crab underwater would be too risky.

Make a note of this place!

……

The three people and two boats quickly sailed away from this dangerous waterway.

Upon reaching a calmer section of the river, Old Man Jiang slowed the boat down, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Brother Su, I have a suggestion, but I'm not sure if I should say it."

"Please speak, Elder Jiang."

"I've made my living on the Blackwater River for decades, and I have several old strongholds under my control, as well as some secret waters that few people know about."

Old Man Jiang looked at Su Yu, his eyes sincere yet shrewd:

"But those good spots aren't easy to catch. Especially some of the rare fish, it's hard for one person to catch them all. Brother Su, you're very skilled, and you have that amazing net-casting technique... how about we team up?"

"However, you need to share ten percent of your harvest there, brother. What do you say?"

As soon as Old Man Jiang finished speaking, Jiang Mu immediately interjected, "Grandpa, we found those places with great difficulty, how could you..."

Old Man Jiang interrupted his granddaughter with a smile, looking at Su Yu, "Brother Su and I hit it off immediately, let's consider us old friends despite our age difference."

Su Yu understood perfectly. A win-win situation was indeed a good idea, and she even benefited more, so she had no reason to refuse.

So he said directly, "Then let's go, Elder Jiang."

As for the possibility that Old Man Jiang had no good intentions, that's unlikely. The main reason is that Jiang Mu, this little girl, is very perceptive. Old Man Jiang is probably not a bad person to have raised such a granddaughter.

……

The three continued rowing for another hour, passing through several dangerous rapids. Before they knew it, it was noon, and the sun was high in the sky, dispelling a trace of the chill.

Su Yu's clothes were still wet, so he simply took off his soaking wet shirt and hung it bare on the bow of the boat.

Under the sunlight, his well-defined muscles were sculpted smoothly, and his skin shone with a healthy glow. It was the powerful physique he had cultivated through long-term training in the Six Transformations of the White Ape, with vigorous blood and energy, making him impervious to the cold wind.

Jiang Mu kept stealing glances at him, and when Su Yu noticed, she would immediately turn her head away, her face as red as an apple.

"Brother Su, we've reached our destination. It's a special body of water called the Boiling Mist Marsh!"
