Chapter 1448
In the swamp mud, the Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile lay like a piece of driftwood, motionless in the mire, its aged hide crisscrossed with scars that looked to have been caused by other polar creatures scratching at it.
This giant crocodile was waiting for prey to come to it; though its strength was terrifying, its speed was a weakness, with only 52 points in agility, dooming it to be unable to chase other polar creatures.
The Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile had a peculiar habit: it rarely preyed on ordinary animals unless starving to the point of eating anything.
Don't think that because the Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile has only 52 agility points it is clumsy; while its long-distance running speed is indeed poor, its close-quarters leap speed is so fast it leaves people stunned.
Su Xiao lay on the tree trunk above the Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile, while Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang crouched in the nearby grass thicket, and Am, being larger in size, hid farther away.
Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's head poked out from the grass thicket as it slowly approached the Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile, sizing it up from head to toe, and Xiang Bubu even made a scissor gesture with its dog paws, taking a photo with the giant crocodile; from beginning to end, this leader-class creature over ten meters long never noticed Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's presence.
Even more interestingly, the Jungle Cat out treasure-hunting was also nearby, having encountered Su Xiao by chance—or rather, it bore a grudge against the Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile.
In the Jungle Cat's understanding, anything that was a fish was food to it, crocodiles included, so it often came to harass the Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile elder brother; the crocodile was also helpless, as the Jungle Cat's speed was too fast, its ordinary speed exceeding even the crocodile's burst speed, and the crisscrossing scars on its head were left by the Jungle Cat.
The Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile elder brother had thick skin and tough flesh, so the Jungle Cat could do nothing to it.
After taking a photo, Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang tapped the giant crocodile elder brother's head with its dog paw, and the crocodile, which had been waiting for prey, was visibly startled.
The giant crocodile raised its head, its gaze dubiously scanning the surroundings; Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's action was not considered an attack range, and moreover, it stood in the crocodile's visual blind spot, so when it disengaged from the environment, it immediately re-blended back in.
Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang came before the giant crocodile, placing its dog paw before its mouth, first exhaling onto the paw, then tensing its canine body.
With a slap! Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang delivered a heavy slap to the giant crocodile elder brother's face; now Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang's strength attribute had already reached 69 points, and with it being a sudden strike, the giant crocodile elder brother was staggered by the blow.
Though suddenly struck by a heavy slap, the giant crocodile elder brother did not immediately retaliate, but instead froze for a moment.
Although this slap was neither painful nor itchy to the giant crocodile elder brother, the provocation from other creatures made it unable to tolerate.
The giant crocodile leapt into the air half a meter high, mud flying, its massive jaws snapping downward toward Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, those uneven, dagger-like fangs aiming to bite; if bitten, Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang would at least lose half its life.
Woo-woo-woo……
The howling sound of breaking wind approached, and an ice-blue war hammer spun through the air from afar.
Bang!
Ice shards flew as the leaping giant crocodile was hammered and staggered.
Thud!
Like two wooden boards slammed together hard, the giant crocodile bit at air, its body plunging into the mud.
When the giant crocodile stabilized its stance after rising from the mud, the one who had slapped it— the Wang Xing person—had already vanished, replaced instead by a minotaur charging head-on.
The frost war hammer sank into the mud, nearby mud turning to frozen earth; Am did not go to retrieve the ice-blue war hammer, but instead charged straight at the giant crocodile.
Seeing Am lunging head-on, the giant crocodile instinctively turned its head forward to bite, its blood-filled maw opening to the maximum.
Am did not dodge, but instead advanced, and in the midst of its charge suddenly shifted sideways, clearly intending to let the giant crocodile bite its torso.
Before being bitten, Am's two arms bent at the elbows, just barely bracing against the incoming upper and lower jaws.
As the blood-filled maw was about to close down, Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang suddenly leapt onto the giant crocodile's back, which startled the crocodile greatly, inevitably slowing the biting momentum.
Bang!
The giant crocodile's upper and lower jaws were braced by Am's elbows on both sides of its body, withstanding the first bite force; Am's arms extended upward, freeing itself from the crocodile's mouth.
Those two thick arms bulged with muscle as Am wrapped its arms around the giant crocodile's upper and lower jaws, making it impossible for the crocodile biting Am's torso to open its mouth again.
The Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile's strength was indeed terrifying, but its body structure was very similar to that of an ordinary crocodile; though a crocodile's bite force is astonishing, they have a weakness: once their jaws are shut, if you hold their upper and lower jaws, they cannot break free without using the death roll.
A crocodile's opening force is extremely weak; even if an ordinary person grabbed the mouth of a Nile crocodile, that Nile crocodile could not rely on its mouth's strength to open its jaws unless it twisted its body to escape the restraint.
Now the Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile is in this state: it is biting the three-meter-tall Am, trying to break free from Am's grasp, and there is only one way to do so.
The giant crocodile's eyes flashed with malice as its short limbs pressed tightly against its belly, preparing to use the death roll, the killing technique all crocodiles know.
The sound of breaking wind came from above the giant crocodile's head; out of instinct as a polar creature, it immediately tried to break free from Am's hold and retreat into the deep mud, but alas, it was too late.
Pfft!
The Dragon-Slaying Flash pierced straight through the Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile's torso, this blade extremely precise, one stab piercing the giant crocodile's heart and completely penetrating its body, the blade tip sinking into the mud below.
Su Xiao stood on the giant crocodile's back, long sword pressing down, with a swish the blade cut through the crocodile's vast internal organs.
The Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile winced as its entire body twitched, it tilted sideways, continuing the unfinished death roll.
An irresistible force surged up from beneath its feet, Su Xiao's vision blurred, and with a plop he was flung into the side mud, the Dragon-Slaying Flash also being pulled from the crocodile's body.
Mud and water splashed as the Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile began dragging Am in the death roll through the mud, Am spinning like a propeller.
At that very moment, a green light dot flew from afar and shot straight into Am's body; the four tooth marks on Am's front chest and back clearly showed signs of healing, having been licked by Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang.
Su Xiao rose from the mud, the Boundary Severing Line sprang forth, the line passing through the gap in the giant crocodile's mouth and wrapping around its upper jaw.
After the Yellow Spring Marsh Crocodile continued the death roll for three turns, Su Xiao's Boundary Severing Line straightened, and the mud and water clinging to it sprayed out over ten meters.
Su Xiao planted his legs into the mud, his leaning-back body pulled forward, the giant crocodile's death roll momentum halted.
A black-and-white figure lunged forward—it was Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, which seized the moment to leap onto the giant crocodile's head, scratching and biting at its two fish eyes.
The eyes are every crocodile's weakness; as the saying goes, if bitten by a crocodile and it has not yet begun the death roll, gouging its eyes with your hand gives a certain chance of escape.
After being scratched and bitten by Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang, the giant crocodile was enraged to the extreme; it thrust its head forward, directly flinging Xiang Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Ignoring Bubu Wang off its head; when Xiang Bubu was airborne, the crocodile's tail had already whipped over.
Before the giant crocodile's tail could come down, a blade flash cut through, and that crocodile tail over three meters long was severed on the spot.
