Chapter 278
Xiang Bubu Te Ni turned around and ran wildly toward the distance, with a clear purpose: Su Xiao was waiting for him at a certain location, and more than a dozen giant crocodiles were chasing closely behind.
Although he was holding back half a bladder of urine, Xiang Bubu Wang was like a wild dog off the leash, and those giant crocodiles were out of reach.
After running for a few minutes, Xiang Bubu Te Ni ran into a valley. This valley was very narrow, with towering rock walls on both sides, and the gap was only about three meters. In ancient times, this terrain was called a line of sky, an extremely dangerous place.
Xiang Bubu Te Ni darted into the line of sky in a few steps, and his figure disappeared. A few dozen seconds later, the group of giant crocodiles chased after him.
The giant crocodiles wandered in front of the line of sky, and they didn't rashly enter that narrow gap; this was the instinct of beasts.
Su Xiao stood above the valley, looking down at the dozen giant crocodiles.
"Unexpectedly smart."
He had buried alchemy bombs in the line of sky, a total of four. In this narrow terrain, the power of the explosion would increase linearly.
Xiang Bubu Te Ni soon ran to the mountain peak and came to Su Xiao's side. He stuck out his tongue, with a lifeless expression on his dog face.
A breeze blew, and Su Xiao frowned.
"What's that smell?" Su Xiao looked at Xiang Bubu Te Ni, and a strange smell came from Xiang Bubu Te Ni.
Xiang Bubu Te Ni lowered his dog head, not daring to look at Su Xiao.
"You... peed yourself?"
Su Xiao looked at Xiang Bubu Te Ni speechlessly. This idiot's courage had always been great; why did he pee himself today?
Xiang Bubu Te Ni turned around, lay on the rock, and covered his face with his front paws.
"Go down and lure them again, those crocodiles' IQ is not low."
At this time, those giant crocodiles were still wandering outside the line of sky, hesitating whether to chase in.
Xiang Bubu Te Ni stared angrily at those crocodiles; the hatred of holding back urine was irreconcilable!
A few minutes later, Xiang Bubu Te Ni ran to the other side of the line of sky and barked loudly a few times.
Enemies are especially jealous when they meet. For beasts, if other beasts urinate in their territory and leave a scent, it is equivalent to seeing other men lying on their own bed with their own wife after getting off work—it is intolerable.
The hatred of urinating was also irreconcilable!
The giant crocodiles no longer hesitated and climbed into the valley.
The bombs were placed in the middle of the line of sky. These giant crocodiles could no longer care about the danger of the line of sky; territory meant food and mating rights to beasts. The giant crocodiles moved their four thick short legs and crawled toward the bombs.
Su Xiao stared closely at the bottom of the line of sky; those giant crocodiles were approaching the bombs quickly.
Ten meters, five meters, one meter!
When the giant crocodiles stepped on the bombs, Su Xiao consumed four mana points, and the alchemy bombs were detonated.
Boom!
The deafening explosion echoed through the valley, and several echoes came.
At the moment of the explosion, Su Xiao clearly saw that three giant crocodiles happened to step on the bombs and were blown away during their run, just like three cars suddenly jumping in place while driving.
The shock of the explosion spread to the surroundings, and large cracks appeared on the mountain walls on both sides of the line of sky. Rubble rolled over, and a slight collapse appeared in the line of sky. More than a dozen giant crocodiles were half-buried in the rubble, and black-red blood gushed out from the stone cracks.
On one side of the mountain wall, a patch of white paste liquid slowly slid down; that was the brain matter of some crocodile.
Even the brain matter was blown out, which showed the power of the alchemy bombs.
If it were in an open space, the alchemy bombs wouldn't have such terrifying power. In this line of sky that was only three meters wide, the power of the explosion was concentrated.
A hook lock popped out from Su Xiao's armguard, and the hook lock wrapped by the Boundary Breaking Line nailed into the rock wall. He jumped down from the peak of several dozen meters.
Sizzle~.
The wire wheel at his wrist made a rapid friction sound. When he was a few meters from the ground, Su Xiao tightened the wire wheel, pulled hard with his left arm, and the hook lock nailed into the rock wall above was pulled. The Boundary Breaking Line quickly retracted into the wire wheel, and he landed steadily.
The whole set of movements was done in one go, and Su Xiao was very satisfied with this armguard.
Standing in front of the rubble pile, the Checking Zhan Long Shan appeared in his hand, and he walked slowly toward the stone pile.
Seeming to sense someone approaching, the giant crocodile's body in the rubble moved.
Clatter, rubble rolled down, and a blood-red giant crocodile head appeared. One eye was blown away, and those sharp fangs were blown crooked to the right, as if it had been hit in the face by a train.
Although this giant crocodile's gaze was ferocious, Su Xiao knew that this was just the end of its tether.
Holding the blade and walking forward slowly, the Checking Zhan Long Shan was inverted in his hand, held with a backhand grip, and one blade pierced the giant crocodile's brain marrow.
Piercing the head was not enough; Su Xiao turned the Checking Zhan Long Shan hard to enlarge the wound.
【You have killed the Mutant Malay Crocodile.】
【Your talent 'Soul Eater' has been activated, permanently increasing mana by 10 points; current mana is 638 points.】
Su Xiao felt a bit surprised; the giant crocodile's strength was unexpectedly strong, actually increasing mana by 10 points.
You know, the Soul Eater talent increases mana based on Su Xiao's strength judgment; killing creatures with vastly different strengths will not increase mana at all.
There were 16 of these giant crocodiles in total. If all were killed, Soul Eater could increase to the limit of this world, 100 mana points.
Easily killing a giant crocodile, Su Xiao didn't relax his vigilance, but became more cautious, stimulating his perception to the limit.
Facing these giant crocodiles, one must never be careless; more than five giant crocodiles could kill him.
If it weren't for the combined power of the four alchemy bombs, plus the special terrain of the line of sky magnifying the power of the bombs, Su Xiao would definitely have had a bitter battle.
Walking on the rubble pile, Su Xiao suddenly raised his blade and stabbed down.
Puchi, the sound of a sharp weapon entering flesh, a few seconds later, fresh blood gushed out from the rubble.
Pulling out the Checking Zhan Long Shan, Su Xiao shook off the blood on the blade, and his two falcon-like eyes scanned the surroundings.
Three were buried on the left, five on the right, and the others were blown to death.
Su Xiao walked silently on the rubble pile, stabbing a blade into the rubble from time to time.
These giant crocodiles were all blown unconscious, and Su Xiao quickly harvested their lives.
【You have killed the Mutant Malay Crocodile.】
【Your talent 'Soul Eater' has been activated, permanently increasing mana by 12 points; current mana is 650 points.】
【You have killed the Mutant Malay Crocodile.】
【Your talent 'Soul Eater' has been activated, permanently increasing mana by 9 points; current mana is 659 points.】
【You have killed the Mutant Malay Crocodile.】
【Your talent 'Soul Eater' has been activated, permanently increasing mana by 11 points; current mana is 713 points.】
Su Xiao killed the last giant crocodile, and his Soul Eater talent had reached the limit.
The energy in Su Xiao's body surged. Recently, he discovered one thing: his mana was different from mages. When mages cast spells, elements would more or less seep into their mana.
Muscles, organs, mana, etc., all more or less seeped into various elements.
Su Xiao was different; his magic-immune trait made him unable to touch elements, so his mana was exceptionally pure.
While losing something, one would also gain something. While Su Xiao couldn't learn spell skills, he gained extremely pure mana.
This kind of mana had many benefits, such as the alchemy bombs he manufactured being very powerful.
Precisely because of this, the alchemy bombs Su Xiao manufactured were so popular, with high explosion damage and a wide range.
If manufactured by others, the power would drop by one-third.
It wasn't just mages; other people's mana was also more or less mixed with various elements. Su Xiao's magic-immune constitution was like a natural filter, filtering out any elements.
