Chapter 17: Dark Water Stone

“Hiss~!”, the fist-sized eyes of the red-armored demon crab swept across the two people in front of it, and suddenly turned sideways to hit Han Lan fiercely.

But it obviously ignored the huge thundercloud demon scorpion next to it.

“Double thunder pattern claws!”

A pair of house-sized thunder pattern giant claws stretched out like lightning, clamped the red-armored demon crab’s abdomen tightly, and then raised the crystal shell scorpion tail at the tail high, and the gun-shaped tail needle wrapped in plasma pierced through the red-armored demon crab’s head shell.

Killed with one blow!

A large number of blue-purple arcs jumped in the red-armored demon crab’s body, completely erasing the last trace of life in its body.

[The wild monster Red Armored Crab (Little General) has been killed, and you will get Rock Heavy Armor (Blue) X1, General-level Residual Soul X1, and Demon Alchemy Points 1000]

"Boom!" With a sound, the Thunder Cloud Scorpion clamped the huge crab corpse with a pair of thunder-patterned giant claws and placed it in front of Han Lan, and then carefully touched Han Lan's trouser legs with its giant claws, and the two claws collided as if to ask for credit, making a crisp sound of metal and iron.

"Well done," Han Lan touched the thick purple crystal head armor of the Thunder Cloud Scorpion and praised it, and by the way, put the huge corpse of the Red Armored Crab into the system backpack.

The Thunder Cloud Scorpion's fist-sized blue insect eyes narrowed slightly in excitement, and it was obviously very pleased with Han Lan's praise.

"Thank you, two masters of magic, for helping me kill the monster in the artificial lake. Thank you so much. I will transfer the 2 million commission to the account later," said the middle-aged man named Cai not far away, seeing that the monster was dead.

"The crab monsters won't appear in the artificial lakes in Anjie for no reason. Did you offend someone? Or is there something in your manor that attracts them?" Lingling asked the middle-aged man.

"To be honest, the two masters of magic, this hilltop was originally transformed from a natural hot spring. A group of slave-level monsters were exterminated back then, but there have been no traces of monsters in all these years," explained the middle-aged man named Cai.

"Lingling, I'll go check under the lake," Han Lan said without waiting for Lingling's response. A burst of blue light surged all over his body, and he turned into a blue giant shark of more than ten meters and swam into the lake.

The lake was very dark. Han Lan, who was inside the giant shark, caught a glimpse of a blue light flashing at the bottom of the lake, and quickly swam over with six stars in his hand.

A water-blue crystal the size of a wheel appeared in front of him, and his palm wrapped in water lightly touched it and put it into the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night.

Han Lan swam around twice more, and found nothing except some demon secretions, so he turned around and swam towards the lake.

"Bang!", a splash of water exploded on the lake, and the blue giant shark on Han Lan's body turned into a blue light and dissipated.

"There is nothing at the bottom of the lake. The red-armored demon crab probably sneaked in from outside the Anjie by some means. Mr. Cai, is it possible that you have offended someone recently?" Han Lan said.

The middle-aged man surnamed Cai turned pale when he heard this, and smiled awkwardly: "This is my private matter. The 2 million commission has been paid to Qingtian Hunting House. The two demon hunters, Cai will look for you to cooperate next time. The butler will see you off," Cai Baoguo said with a big hand.

"The two masters, please follow me," the old butler in a black suit took Han Lan and the other two into a Maybach, and sent them all the way to the door of Qingtian Hunting House before turning around and leaving.

"Han Lan, did you really find nothing at the bottom of the lake?" Lingling, who was sitting on the sofa, blinked playfully and asked.

"Look, I found a big stone of water element," Han Lan took out the water blue stone from the Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night, put it on the coffee table and said to Lingling.

"Hey, it's this thing," said Bao Lao, who was smoking a pipe not far away.

"Does Bao Lao know this thing?"

"This is a kind of ore from the shallow sea, called Mingshui Stone, which is mostly used to make high-level water magic tools, or as the main material of soul-level magic tools. Han boy, if you are short of protective magic tools, I can recommend Huo Tuo from the Pearl Tower to help you forge one or two," Bao Lao smiled.

"Thank you, Bao Lao, but I can forge magic tools myself, so I don't need it," Han Lan said politely.

"Oh, are you also a part-time blacksmith? Han boy, young people don't have much time for meditation, be careful not to affect your future cultivation," Bao Lao reminded.

Seeing this, Han Lan summoned the Thunder Armor, which covered his entire body with purple-gold armor.

The head, neck, abdomen, legs and other vulnerable parts were protected by purple-gold armor, and a palm-sized thunder lizard was carved on the chest, which caused the elements in the air to gather and become agitated quickly.

"The best armor magic tool seems to have the effect of enhancing the power of magic. It can be said to be among the best in the field of intermediate magicians. Han boy, did you forge this yourself?" The sharp-eyed old man Bao said in surprise after observing for a moment.

Han Lan nodded and removed the armor magic tool.

"Very good, Han Lan, your talent in forging is better than I thought. Just now I heard Lingling say that you turned into a shark and swam in the artificial lake. That seems to be the power of the water spirit seed. Are you born with dual elements?" Old man Bao hesitated for a moment and said.

"Yes, I awakened the water system on my own, and the power of turning into a shark and swam is a natural spirit seed," Han Lan said neither servilely nor arrogantly.

"Then are you interested in joining the Tribunal? Lingling's sister Leng Qing is the deputy chief judge of the Lingyin Tribunal. If you, Han Lan, are interested in taking this path, I can introduce you to her," said old man Bao enthusiastically.

"I'm used to being idle and don't like those rules and regulations. It's good to be a hunter mage," Han Lan said apologetically.

"Is that so? That's fine. It's good for young people to fight with demons and see the world. Let's not talk about this. Let's stay for dinner later," said Old Man Bao with a smile.

"Okay, the warrior-level crab monster that was commissioned to be killed just now is quite fresh. My dimensional beast didn't use poison power when killing it. Let's eat crab meat at noon," Han Lan suggested.

"Okay."

Spicy crab legs, steamed crab claws with vermicelli, fried rice cake with crab meat, steamed egg with crab roe, a few side dishes and two bottles of rice wine. After a crab meat feast, Han Lan and the other two were very happy and their relationship became much closer.

After eating and drinking, Han Lan took the initiative to clean up the table, and then sat in a practice room arranged by Old Man Bao for him to practice the thunder nebula.

Han Lan planned to first break through the lightning nebula to the second level, and then favor the space nebula. As for the water nebula, there was no possibility of further progress in the short term.

Time passes in the dark cultivation, and the school season of Mingzhu Academy has come in a blink of an eye.

In the short two months, Han Lan and Lingling formed a partnership and took the Thunder Cloud Scorpion to do commissioned tasks in this huge magic city.

It is worth mentioning that in one commission, Han Lan accidentally obtained a thunder attribute alchemy material, and after fusing it with the Thunder Cloud Scorpion, it successfully promoted it to the level of a great war general.

In addition, Han Lan spent 7 slave-level spirits to strengthen the lightning star to level 4 and unlocked the fourth-level thunder seal-electric field.

In the battle, under the stimulation of the dark cultivation cycle, the lightning nebula and the space nebula successfully broke through to the second level, all thanks to Han Lan absorbing ten insect crystals of the golden ancient butterfly.

This kind of thought stone resource, which is equivalent to a low-profile version, greatly improves the cultivation speed of the intermediate mage.
