Alya held her breath and gestured for the team to stop,

"There it is!"

She whispered, her gaze locked onto the leviathan in the water.

The giant crab's shell glimmered under the water, like a moving reef, occasionally causing splashes.

Alya untied the leather pouch from her waist, and a strong scent of blood instantly permeated the air.

Then she took out a bloody piece of boar meat, took a deep breath, and forcefully threw the meat towards the shore.

"Retreat!"

Alya signaled, and the Hunters quickly moved back.

"Splash!"

The surface exploded, and the giant crab surged upwards.

Water cascaded down its smooth shell like a rushing waterfall.

In front of its shell, two fist-sized eyes glinted with a cold gleam, staring straight at the meat.

Soon, a rustling sound arose as countless small crabs emerged from the water, scrambling towards the prey.

The giant crab swung its pincers, sending these small crabs flying away, smashing them into the riverbank rocks, crushing them to pieces.

Other small crabs switched targets, turning directly to attack their crushed companions.

Meanwhile, the giant crab clamped the meat with its pincers, brought it to its mouth, and quickly devoured it.

"The Lord was right, just like a beast!"

Alya cursed under her breath, her fingers gripping the bowstring.

"Prepare!"

No need for Alya's reminder, other Hunters raised their bows and arrows,

"Aim for its abdomen, I'll shoot its eyes!"

"Fire!"

As Alya gave the order, a sharp whoosh pierced through the air!

Four arrows flew towards the giant crab almost simultaneously!

The giant crab reacted swiftly, casually swinging its pincers to block the four arrows!

However, Alya had anticipated this. Her arrow flew towards the crab's right eye, just a breath faster than the others!

"Whoosh!"

"Thud!"

The Armor-Piercing Arrow shot instantly through the crab's eye, embedding into its shell!

"Crack, crack!"

The giant crab emitted a strange, eerie roar, its massive pincers clamped down on the arrow shaft, snapping it!

Yet this did not alleviate its pain; it thrashed about in the water, causing droplets to fly!

"Great job, Lady Alya!"

Hunters shouted joyously, Alya's face also full of delight,

"How could I miss such big eyes?"

"Don't stop, keep attacking!"

Alya shot Armor-Piercing Arrows at the crab relentlessly!

Hunters swiftly followed suit, arrows like raindrops fell upon the crab, creating a metallic clatter!

This completely enraged the giant crab!

It swung its pincers, quickly dragging rocks at the shore with loud clangs, rushing rapidly towards Alya and the others!

Seeing the massive form approaching swiftly, Alya shouted,

"Retreat to the cave!"

Without hesitation, the Hunters turned and ran!

No need to look back, just the sound and ground tremors indicated the crab was close behind!

The Frost Iron Guard was already waiting at the cave entrance, reaching out to pull the Hunters in.

Alya didn't go in, she ran to the entrance and turned, raising her bow to shoot at the crab's left eye!

"Crack, crack!"

The crab was enraged again, swinging its pincers down towards Alya!

But Alya agilely leapt into the cave!

Boom!

The massive pincers hammered the ground with a thunderous crash, scattering debris everywhere!

Alya and the Hunters retreated quickly, occasionally turning to shoot Armor-Piercing Arrows at the crab!

At a hundred meters from the cave entrance, Luo De awaited with others, frowning as he stared at the giant figure outside.

Alya gripped her hunting bow tight, sweat trickling down her cheeks,

"Lord, will it come in?"

Alya's voice trembled, panting heavily.

It seemed easy, but she was actually striving.

She feared the crab would abandon pursuit.

Luo De shook his head slightly,

"I don't know either."

He paused, fixing his gaze on the shadow outside the cave.

"That's why White Wolf and I didn't go out to lure it, feared it would escape."

"Keep attacking."

"Use Armor-Piercing Arrows, drive it mad, force it to come in!"

Luo De's voice was cold, devoid of any compassion, filled only with a longing for seafood.

The Hunting Team immediately raised their bows, bowstrings taut.

Armor-Piercing Arrows shot like a storm towards the crab, slicing through the darkness with a sharp whistle!

Followed by a series of metallic clashing sounds, Armor-Piercing Arrows embedded one after another into the crab's flesh!

The crab's shell waved huge pincers, tried to deflect the arrow storm, but the arrows were too many, its clumsy motions entirely futile.

In no time, the crab turned into a spiked creature, bluish liquid seeping along the shell.

Pain drove the crab into a fury, pincers slammed into the ground, rocks scattering all around!

Yet it lingered at the cave mouth, reluctant to take a step inside.

"Hiss, hiss!"

A shrill screech erupted from its throat, echoing piercingly inside the cave, forcing everyone to cover their ears.

The sound soon ceased, the Hunting Team resumed their attack.

At that moment, a rustling sound was heard from outside the cave.

Like countless tiny claws scuttling over stone, densely packed and rapid.

Luo De furrowed his brow tightly, his gaze like a knife cutting through the darkness.

"Ambush team hold steady, don't move!"

Luo De shouted loudly, "These are the small crabs it summoned!"

As he spoke, countless small crabs swarmed in from the cave mouth.

The so-called small crabs weren't actually small, each as large as a hyena.
