Chapter 1447: Biting Through the Flesh

That day, Ye Liuyun saw a river ahead, cutting through the forest sea and dividing it in two.

"Are we getting close to the heart of the forest sea?"

Ye Liuyun felt that any powerful fierce beast would surely occupy a good spot with a water source.

He calculated the distance; the area of eighth‑level Heavenly Venerate fierce beasts should also be crossed.

His Divine Sense also detected that eighth‑level Heavenly Venerate crocodiles often patrolled the river surface, so he thought that after crossing this river, it should be the ninth‑level Heavenly Venerate fierce beast area.

"According to the distance, we should be almost there!" Meng Zhangxing also replied.

"It looks like this is the final barrier!"

Ye Liuyun thought, then rushed straight toward those crocodiles, releasing his bloodline power.

The powerful bloodline pressure immediately kept those crocodiles from surfacing; they sank into the water and swam beneath.

Ye Liuyun felt these giant crocodiles moved slowly, their combat strength was weak, and he didn't intend to subdue them—just scaring them off would suffice.

But to be safe, he first flew up above the river to scout, in case any crocodiles remained.

He pushed his bloodline power to the limit to drive away the crocodiles.

Yet before he had gone far, a giant crocodile leapt from the water, opened its huge jaws, and lunged at him.

Ye Liuyun realized at the instant it leapt out that it was a ninth‑level Heavenly Venerate beast.

His bloodline suppression actually had no effect on that giant crocodile.

But by then he could not escape; the crocodile locked him with its realm pressure and bit straight at his waist.

"Damn!"

Ye Liuyun also knew he couldn't dodge in time.

So he released all his fierce beasts to surround the crocodile while launching a Spiritual Soul Attack.

But the crocodile was no pushover; Ye Liuyun's earlier Divine Sense hadn't detected it, indicating its Divine Soul Power was not weak.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Soul surged into the crocodile's Sea of Consciousness, but could only fight it to a stalemate.

Meanwhile, the crocodile had already bitten Ye Liuyun's waist.

With a "crack," the spider‑shell armor was shattered by the crocodile's mighty bite force.

After biting him, the crocodile dragged Ye Liuyun's body back into the water, pulling him down beneath the surface.

Numerous fierce beasts launched attacks, but the crocodile's thick hide rendered them ineffective.

Fortunately, the two giant pythons reacted quickly, launching Divine Soul Attacks that helped Ye Liuyun extinguish the crocodile's Divine Soul.

The crocodile's intelligence was low; it didn't know surrender, and only when Ye Liuyun's Nether Ghost Fire completely burned away its Divine Soul did it cease.

After Ye Liuyun's Divine Soul returned to his Physical Body, he felt a piercing pain surge.

If not for the Ten Thousand Gods Command's aid, he would have passed out from the pain.

He quickly examined himself and found that the crocodile's upper and lower jaws, each with a saw‑tooth, had bitten through his abdomen, and blood was already flowing out.

Fortunately, it wasn't the largest pair of saw‑teeth that struck him; otherwise he would have been bitten in half.

The wound was also not far from his elixir field; it was a fortunate misfortune.

He immediately used Mysterious Origin to seal the wound, then directed his Divine Sense to command the two giant pythons underwater, coiling around the crocodile's body and dragging it ashore.

Then he had the fierce beasts help pry open the crocodile's massive jaws.

"Pfft!"

As soon as the crocodile's jaws were pried open, Ye Liuyun's blood began to gush out wildly.

Ye Liuyun immediately used Mysterious Origin again to seal the wound and took a Healing Elixir.

He hadn't taken a Healing Elixir in a long time.

He never expected to be bitten clean through by this crocodile.

Fortunately, his vitality was tenacious; this likely also stemmed from his prior soaking in the Life Spring Water.

At this moment, he also felt a lingering fear.

"The crocodile's bite force is incredibly strong! It seems my Physical Body is still far from the Divine Realm!"

Ye Liuyun then took off the spider‑shell armor and tossed it aside.

His wound, at a speed visible to the naked eye, conforms.

Under the wrapping of Mysterious Origin, the flesh and blood grew rapidly, gradually sealing that large hole.

The fierce beasts waited quietly at the side, vigilant of surrounding dangers.

Meng Zhangxing and the others also rushed over.

From afar they also saw the previous perilous battle, thought Ye Liuyun was done for, and felt regret for him.

Upon seeing Ye Liuyun emerge, still dragging the crocodile ashore, they immediately rushed over, not bothering to check whether any other danger remained in the water.

Luo Yun arrived and immediately examined Ye Liuyun's wound, finding it was rapidly recovering.

Although the opening was still a blur of flesh and blood, the growth speed of the tissue was very fast.

"Your recovery ability is too monstrous." Luo Yun held a Healing Elixir in her hand, unsure whether to give it to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun smiled: "No need, I just took a Healing Elixir."

Only then did Luo Yun put the elixir away.

Seeing that Meng Zhangxing saw he was alright, he relaxed, teasingly complaining: "You're too reckless! You're our main combat force. If you died, what would we do? We can't even get back ourselves now!"

Ye Liuyun also laughed and admitted: "Yeah, I was careless! The ninth‑level Heavenly Venerate fierce beasts are indeed strong in every aspect."

At the same time, Ye Liuyun felt fortunate that he was the one scouting the path; if he had directly taken a few people across the river, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Next time, don't go adventuring alone—let the fierce beasts scout the path!" Guo Da suggested.

Ye Liuyun also nodded seriously.

This time he was indeed careless, putting himself in danger.

Although Meng Zhangxing said it as a joke, he was also not wrong.

If he really got into trouble, Meng Zhangxing and the others might truly be unable to return, and would be trapped to death in this forest sea.

While they were speaking, Ye Liuyun's injuries had already recovered seventy to eighty percent, but after all, his body had suffered damage.

Ye Liuyun greeted the few people, then returned again to the Life Spring Water inside the Space World to soak, making up for lost vitality and speeding up his recovery.

Soon, Ye Liuyun's injuries had fully recovered.

Liang Xue came over to ask about the situation; he also briefly told Liang Xue the situation, but then Liang Xue scolded him, reminding him to be more careful in the future.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun ate a hearty meal to replenish some nutrition before leaving the Space World.

After he went out, he found that the giant crocodile had only a skeleton left; the meat and core on its body were placed aside, untouched, presumably left for him.

The crocodile skin was gone. Guo Da, however, was busy inside the Formation, refining something.

Seeing Ye Liuyun come out, Luo Yun also said proactively: "This giant crocodile was obtained at the cost of your life; we cannot touch it, you must accept it. Guo Da is using the crocodile skin to help you forge new armor; we can wait a bit before leaving, there's still time."
