The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 31 - Hunting Demon Crabs
The next morning when the sun had not yet appeared, Xin Fai was getting ready with fishing equipment. He was about to open the door before Lang's growl sounded.
"What are you doing so early? Grrh..."
Xin Fai replied simply, "i'll fish with Lan An."
Xin Fai had already told Lan An before about the wolf even though she listened to him without interest. At least Lang already knew who he meant.
Lang snorted annoyedly, in fact he was also bored of being told to sleep all day. Lang even thought of knocking down this inn if it started to get bored.
Eating and sleeping like this certainly makes him careless and many times want to go out, Xin Fai forbid it on the grounds out there many are hunting demons like him.
Although Xin Fai was sure none of them would be able to touch Lang.
Lang's strength was enormous, even great warriors would die easily if they had to face him. For a savage demon to live without a fight was very annoying.
Xin Fai even found her bed completely clawed by the wolf, possibly the effect of boredom. In Xin Fai's heart feeling a little comforted could torment Lang. Lang's greatest enemy first was boredom.
Lang growled in his place, if this continued he might become the first demon spirit to die of boredom.
"At least I don't want to sleep here anymore. If you need me, just call my name." Lang turned into a golden light and fused with his body.

Xin Fai had arrived in front of Lan An's house, she could see Lan An had prepared with a machete in his hand. Lan An's mother was also there still loyal to her beautiful smile.
Lan An furrowed her brows when she saw Xin Fai's luggage as well as the straw hat she was wearing.
"Huh? Pfft..." Lan An closed her mouth holding back a laugh, her eyes even to the point of watering as a result.
"Is there something wrong with me?"
"You really think we're going fishing?" Lan An pointed at the fishing hook that Xin Fai had brought.
"I thought we were going fishing, so I bought this last night."
"Haha! I'm sorry it's my fault, but we're not fishing the way you think."
Lan An raised his machete with a prosthetic eye. "We're going hunting crab stealth!"
The fishing line that was originally on Xin Fai's shoulder fell to the ground, he became very enthusiastic.
"I thought you might like crab meat! Let's go for it." Lan An hurried away followed by Xin Fai.
The sounds of crickets are still clear, the atmosphere is still very dark because last night it has rained causing slippery roads. Lan An said that the crab meat they were going to hunt was not ordinary meat. It was a hundred-year-old crab demon meat.
The meat would increase people's strength if consumed in large quantities, Lan An was so enthusiastic in explaining everything he knew, so far he had absolutely no storytelling friends other than his mother.
"Here," Lan An stuck his machete on the ground. "It should be this month that many of them will come out."
As if answering Xin Fai's question, he explained briefly.
"This month the demon will search for its prey. There's been a lot of casualties they've eaten."
Lan An ran over the water, instantly Xin Fai was stunned with her mouth wide open. The guess was wrong all along. It turned out that Lan An had a considerable amount of inner power, being able to run on water as it certainly required a lot of inner power.
If facing Lan An without using the inner power alone he had already lost heavily especially if he had to deal with it like that.
Xin Fai felt that his efforts in capturing the Book of Seven Keys would be in vain.
When immersed in his own mind suddenly the lake water rolled with a whirlpool in the middle. From the middle of the lake can be seen a crab with a size of four times the body of an adult man out. The crab's own claw doubled from his body with dark green spots around his body.
"Ah so you're the one who's been bothering this area all along?"
Lan An who was not affected by the whirlpool on the lake raised his machete. "Little sister, come help me catch this naughty crab. We can boil the meat later at home."
Lan An licked her lips as she imagined her favorite boiled crab. This crab stealth meat is much tastier than the crab it usually eats.
"But I can't walk on water yet." Xin Fai complained at her place, hearing that Lan An just laughed crisply.
"I'll take him ashore." Lan An jumped high using his inner power.
"The Crescent Kick!"
The crab bounced a few meters and stopped at the edge of the lake, when it was about to re-enter the water Lan An first issued a move.
"The Book of Seven Keys - The Path of a Thousand Spirits!"
The crab came out of the water and hit a nearby tree trunk.
The power that contained a considerable amount of inner energy made a powerful sound, Xin Fai even rubbed his eyes a few times. He had never seen a figure as strong as Lan An let alone the age of the two of them was not much different, with this kind of strength Lan An should not have to ask for help from him.
