Chapter 96 Decision_1

"Crunch!"

A fist-sized piece of black ore was easily snapped in half by a pair of massive, bluish-green pincers.

The Iron Claw Crab Juvenile raised its blade-like pincers toward Lu Xuan, its protruding eyes filled with what seemed like disdain.

"You haven't been snapping for a while, but your strength has grown!"

Lu Xuan chuckled and marveled at this remark, then placed the halved fine iron ore under the crab's pincers.

Two pieces turned into four, four into eight—the ore shrank visibly as the Iron Claw Crab Juvenile tirelessly snapped at each piece offered, displaying tenacious efficiency.

With each crunching sound, Lu Xuan's thoughts wandered.

This time, being invited to the Secret Land, he deeply felt the lack of autonomy as a Loose Cultivator.

*Normally, he lived a peaceful life tending his fields, avoiding conflicts and steering clear of disputes, revealing only the modest identity of a Spirit Plant Master with decent planting talent.*
