Although the Raymond Coast Crab appeared to be calm and indifferent, Lin Yuan did not dare to let his guard down. After all, if this creature relied solely on its shell, it would never have received a danger rating as high as three stars.
Cautiously, he approached until he was fifty meters away from the Mutated Coastal Crab, which continued to bask lazily in the sun.
At that moment, Lin Yuan's heart raced. He positioned his Feathered Shield in front of him and switched to his Heavy Sniper Rifle. He believed that the Firestone High-Explosive Armor-Piercing Round fired from the rifle could penetrate the Mutated Coastal Crab's defenses. However, he only had a little over a hundred rounds of armor-piercing ammunition left, and he needed to save them for a critical moment.
As he continued to close the distance, Lin Yuan found himself thirty meters away from the Mutated Coastal Crab. Just as he prepared to accelerate and launch an attack, an unexpected change occurred!
The crab's smooth shell suddenly cracked open rhythmically, forming a hexagonal hole about the size of a fist. From within that hole, a mass of soft material resembling clay quickly oozed out, almost like it was being squeezed into balls.
Lin Yuan was still puzzled when he heard a loud 'bang,' reminiscent of popcorn popping. The expelled Clay Bomb shot toward him at an astonishing speed!
"Oh no!"
Lin Yuan shouted inwardly and jumped up just in time to evade the bizarre Clay Bomb. However, in the next moment, it exploded violently on the ground nearby. The sound was terrifying, and more importantly, its power was immense, shattering the hard rock into pieces and sending debris flying everywhere, causing Lin Yuan to suffer as well.
Now he understood just how terrifying and cunning this creature could be. At the same time, the Mutated Coastal Crab had revealed its greatest weakness!
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan leaped forward and aimed to strike before the Raymond Coast Crab could produce a second bomb. He thrust his weapon into the hexagonal hole.
But in that instant, Lin Yuan realized just how foolish his action had been. As soon as he stabbed downwards, the Mutated Raymond Coast Crab exploded from within like a detonated bomb, creating a thunderous roar that shook the ground!
Lin Yuan barely had time to react before he was blasted hundreds of meters away by the force of the explosion, crashing hard onto the ground as his Health Points plummeted by three hundred!
As he stood up, he was stunned to discover that from the nearby rocky caves, at least several hundred Mutated Raymond Coast Crabs had emerged, all angrily charging toward him. Fortunately, these Raymond Coast Crabs were not particularly fast. Lin Yuan managed to escape by jumping into the sea, causing the crabs to halt their pursuit.
This unexpected encounter left Lin Yuan feeling quite embarrassed. He had initially thought it would be an easy task, but he soon realized that these Mutated Coastal Crabs were far more troublesome than anticipated. Not only could they not be easily defeated, but they also self-destructed upon death. No wonder their danger level was rated at three stars.
Fortunately, this area was too remote for the massive explosion to attract any Mutants; otherwise, he would have been in serious trouble.
After hiding in the water for a while, Lin Yuan confirmed that the loud explosion had not drawn any danger. Only then did he return to shore. His disdain for the Raymond Coast Crabs had reached its peak. While killing them wasn't difficult, the annoying explosions and the risk of collateral damage were truly bothersome.
He knew that as an F5-level Mechanical Warrior, his total Health Points were only 1,000. Losing 300 points in one hit was simply not worth it; he needed to find another target.
However, before doing so, he had to examine the corpse of the Mutated Coastal Crab to see what it might be useful for!
Fortunately, the remaining Raymond Coast Crabs didn't seem interested in retrieving their fallen comrade. The shattered remains of the self-destructed crab lay scattered on the ground, with only its black shell remaining; the explosive material inside that resembled clay was nowhere to be found.
When Lin Yuan picked up a piece of the broken black shell, he was taken aback. Inside the shell of this Raymond Coast Crab was a rich deposit of Biological Alloy. Moreover, this Biological Alloy was of decent quality; although it didn't meet the standard for Biological Alloy, it could still be synthesized. According to data collected by the Intelligent Brain Encyclopedia, approximately fifteen grams could be synthesized into one gram of standard high-grade Biological Alloy.
Lin Yuan recalled that during a routine mission in S-5 Sub-base over ten Mechanical Years ago, there was a task requiring the collection of Standard Biological Alloy. The mission demanded one kilogram and offered a reward of 60,000 Mechanical Coins, along with ten Merit Points and 10,000 Mission Points—quite generous rewards indeed. The ten Merit Points were especially valuable as they could be exchanged for Modification Points.
Immediately, Lin Yuan changed his mind. He needed to see how much Standard Biological Alloy could be extracted from this Raymond Coast Crab's shell. If the quantity was satisfactory, he wouldn't mind staying here for a while.
After about ten minutes, Lin Yuan had collected all the shells from the self-destructed Raymond Coast Crab. Thanks to its high Enhancement Level of thirty points, he suffered no losses during that terrifying explosion and managed to gather every piece of shell.
Without hesitation, Lin Yuan activated the Biological Alloy refining process. This procedure was quite simple and only required sufficient Standard Energy.
Ten minutes later, after two rounds of refinement, he had obtained five grams of Standard Biological Alloy. This standard Biological Alloy could easily be used to enhance a Mechanical Body to an Enhancement Level of 5.
However, Lin Yuan was reluctant to do so; he needed to accumulate a full kilogram of Standard Biological Alloy, which was no small task.
Opening the storage space of the Energy Engine, he placed the five grams of Standard Biological Alloy inside. Now, he needed to carefully consider how to quickly eliminate the Raymond Coast Crabs, as there were nearly three hundred of them in this area. If each one could yield five grams of Standard Biological Alloy, he would easily complete the Collecting Task and even have an additional five hundred grams left over. Just thinking about it was a delightful prospect!
But first, he had to find a way to deal with the self-destructing problem of those Raymond Coast Crabs.
