Someone cried out.
Amidst the churning mud lay the charred wreck of the Iron Claw Shrimp King, a gaping hole torn through its chest and abdomen. With a look of delight, Lü Zhong plucked a brown Demon Pill from within and stowed it in his Storage Bag.
The credit for slaying the Iron Claw Shrimp King would be enough to get him the Gilded Fire Jade.
With that done, Lü Zhong looked over the Shrimp King's corpse.
He made sure to cut off its two iron claws and tail. The larger an Iron Claw Shrimp, the more succulent its meat, and he wasn't about to let such a fine ingredient go to waste.
Meanwhile, the Honored Guest Elders who had just arrived saw that Lü Zhong had dealt with the Shrimp King and hurried over to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Lü!"
"The feeling's mutual!"
Joy was written on everyone's faces.
