In the 6,000-year-old wilderness, this kind of building is definitely a rare luxury. The reason is simple: at a time when the development of the Xiuzhen civilization was almost zero, it took a lot of effort to make wooden planks that met the specifications and could be used to make stairs, tenon knots that were precise enough to bite each other, and beams of the same thickness that could be used to bear loads. Unless there is the help of the Demon Clan------ this is almost impossible to happen------ only a very small number of large-scale clans have the manpower and material resources to build a two-story or more building. Because of the universal principle that scarcity is precious, no matter how humble it may seem, being able to live in a building means great power.

The sea building is a three-storey building in such a background. This tower, which is famous for its ability to overlook the entire Erhai Lake from the top of the building, has a pagoda-like appearance, and the mud building and the hollows in the shape of various flowers, birds, fish and beasts on the walls of each floor are used for ventilation, all of which show the limits of the architectural craftsmanship that human ingenuity can achieve in the context of that era, as well as the sweat behind it.

Or blood.

And as the residence of the Grimace Crab that has ruled the Gonggong clan for nearly a thousand years, the meaning of this tower is much more than that.

The smell of blood and rancid smell that wafted in the air from afar, mixed with the lights in the building that seemed to be inextinguished for many years, and under the accumulation of years, the fear from the heart was rooted in the hearts of every Gonggong person little by little.

However, today, for the first time in nearly a thousand years, the sprout of Xiuzhen brought the courage of the Gonggong clan out of the cocoon and burned the flames of war to the source of all this fear.

When the dust of the earth-shattering battle in the outside world settled, and the thirteen Terran monks gathered in front of the sea tower with more or less injuries, the only thing standing between a free Gonggong clan and them was the grimace that had hovered over the Erhai Sea for thousands of years.

The originally noisy night suddenly became quiet, and all kinds of spells with different sounds and effects died down for the time being, and the noise and firelight in the outer area of the clan became a background sound that seemed to be absent after being weakened by distance. And I don't know when the sound of a pounding heartbeat became louder and louder in everyone's ears, louder and louder, until it seemed as if the heart was about to jump out of the chest.

The tower more than ten meters high, and the mottled spots formed by the dried blood stains on the outer wall, under the illumination of the moonlight, exuded an eerie atmosphere that matched it.

The silence around made the sound of the heartbeat sound so obvious, as if it was the only sound between heaven and earth, except for the slightly heavy gasps of everyone because of nervousness.

Until a woman's scream came from the building, the heartbeat that seemed to be close to the ear also stopped abruptly.

"Ah-----------------h

Yu Hong, who was supporting Hong Tao, suddenly tightened his body.

"Mother!"

"Senior brother, don't go!" Hong Tao hurriedly grabbed Yu Hong who wanted to rush out with his only remaining left hand.

Suddenly, he froze.

The excited Yu Hong also stopped struggling.

The door of the sea building opened silently.

That empty door seems to be the only barrier between the world and hell. In the empty darkness behind the door, a corner of the fear that had been building up for nearly a thousand years crept into the corner. Everyone felt a tingling sensation in their scalp as if they were being coldly watched by a natural enemy.

A gentle footstep sounded extremely clearly in the ears of everyone present.

In the darkness that seemed to lead straight to the Nine Shadows, a humanoid silhouette gradually appeared.

============================================================

"Wait," Jiang Shang suddenly interrupted Hong Tao's narration, "Humanoid? I thought the Grimace Crab should be an extremely hawkish monster." ”

"The so-called hawks and doves are just a rough division based on our experience, and cannot be used as a strict criterion in themselves. Hong Tao glanced at him and said lightly, "Those who like to maintain the demon body may not have their hands stained with the blood of the human race, and those who like to maintain the human form also have ...... such as grimace crabs."

“...... Psychologically twisted perversion. ”

============================================================

When the figure gradually walked out of the tower, what finally appeared in front of people's eyes was the image of a well-proportioned bald man, gloomy eyes, a falcon-like nose, thin lips, no inch, expressionless, except for the extreme greed and neuroticism in those eyes, it was almost impossible to believe that this was the famous ghost-faced crab of the Gonggong clan, which had dominated the Erhai Sea together with Zhurong Yan Demon for nearly a thousand years.

But the monks' attention was more focused on the other figure.

It was a woman in her thirties, also naked*, her complexion a little pale from the absence of sunlight for a while. Her belly bulged visibly, as if it weighed a thousand pounds, making her stagger on her feet.

She had a rope tied around her neck, and the other end of the rope was attached to the bald man in front of her.

"A-Ying!"

"Mother!"

The two shouts from Yu Shun and Yu Hong, respectively, caused some commotion among the monks. A monk who looked to be a little old said to Yu Shun: "Commander, everyone has come this far, many brothers have died, now is not the time for a woman's kindness." ”

Yu Shun quietly looked at the woman not far away, and the woman also looked at him. His fists clenched quietly when he heard the monk's words, and after looking at each other for almost three breaths, he whispered a word.

"Kill!"

With an order, the three frontmost monks rushed forward, and ice edges, flames, and vines appeared at the same time, and attacked in the direction of the bald man with a fierce and decisive attitude.

Kill the Grimace Crab!

It's the only goal that everyone has worked so for so many years, and any sacrifice is allowed to achieve it!

The bald man looked at the fierce attack in front of him and turned back slowly.

On his back, there was a hideous grimace.

At the same time, a crab shell phantom with an equally hideous grimace appeared in mid-air, and all the attacks, the moment they touched the crab shell, were all annihilated into flames that burned out and disappeared.

Almost at the same moment, the bald man's right hand was raised slightly, and he waved it casually.

A huge crab claw appeared from the void, and the three monks in the air couldn't dodge, and before they could react, they staggered with the crab claw phantom.

Hong Tao's eyes widened suddenly, and he clearly saw that at the moment when the three of them and the phantom were intertwined, the translucent claws brought out three phantoms that were exactly the same as themselves from the three of them.

The chelica clamps closed one by one, and the three phantoms were cut off by the volley and dissipated without a trace.

Only three corpses remained, and they fell the cold ground.
