Chapter 280: One Step to the Stomach

The crocodile's tail was a reverse bone; it could only swing left and right, not up and down.

Su Xiao certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. He slashed continuously with the long blade held in his right hand, and his left hand even took out the Broken Spirit, pressing it against the giant crocodile's back armor and firing wildly—one shot, one blood hole. It was extremely refreshing.

Just as Su Xiao was attacking with all his might, he suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes, and a huge force came from under his body. The force counter-impact made his entire body somewhat numb, and in a hazy state, he felt like he was riding the clouds and driving the mist.

Su Xiao flew into the air, glided for over ten meters in the air, and then made a flat-sand-falling-goose landing on the ground, sliding for a few meters before stopping.

Su Xiao raised his head, and everything before his eyes was a blur. His entire skeleton seemed to be about to fall apart at any time, and bursts of soreness and numbness came from all parts of his body.

The giant crocodile didn't know what method it used to throw him away. This throw made Su Xiao half-dead.

'Battle Insight Article 78: Crocodiles cannot be ridden, especially giant crocodiles.'

Keeping this in mind, Su Xiao climbed up from the ground and took out a potion that quickly restored 18% HP. The severe pain in his body subsided a little.

Su Xiao was not having a good time, and that giant crocodile was not having a good time either. There were over a dozen crisscrossing wounds on its back, the skin and flesh were rolled up, and the scales on its torso had been dyed red.

Being suddenly thrown away, Su Xiao was in a state of concussion. He landed on his head first, and blood had already slid down his cheeks.

Drip, drip.

Bright red blood dripped onto the scorched earth. A mountain wind blew past, and neither Su Xiao nor the giant crocodile moved; both sides were adjusting their states.

The blur before his eyes gradually disappeared. Su Xiao clearly felt a large bump on his head gradually bulging, and it had a tendency to get bigger and bigger.

Touching the large bump on his head lightly, Su Xiao gritted his teeth in pain, and everything went black before his eyes.

This giant crocodile was stronger than imagined. He must never be careless, otherwise he would die here today.

Taking out the 【Eye of Havana (Green)】, Su Xiao scanned the giant crocodile's data.

【Comparing Intelligence attributes of both sides... Comparison complete. Our Intelligence is 2.33 times that of the enemy. Obtained 100% of the enemy's data.】

The data is as follows:

Name: Mutant Lan Jue (Boss-level creature)

HP: 65%

Mana: 0/120

Strength: 37

Agility: 26

Stamina: 39

Intelligence: 12

Charisma: 3

Skill 1: Ancient Creature (Passive): HP increased by 3,000 points.

Skill 2: Hunting (Passive): After the Mutant Lan Jue enters the hunting state, it has a 90% chance to shield perception effects with Intelligence below 40 points.

Skill 3: Whip Tail (Active): The Mutant Lan Jue swings its tail to whip, dealing Strength x5 damage to the enemy (due to tail damage, the power of this skill decreases by 40%).

Skill 4: Death Spin (Active): After the Mutant Lan Jue bites the prey, it will spin its body frantically, dealing Strength x2 damage per second, and has a 30% chance to perform a bite judgment. If the bite judgment passes, the Mutant Lan Jue will bite off the prey.

Su Xiao walked slowly toward the giant crocodile. The comprehensive ability of this giant crocodile was chasing the War Behemoth. The two had different body sizes, and the giant crocodile was more difficult to deal with.

If Su Xiao had a choice, he would definitely choose to deal with the War Behemoth, rather than deal with this giant crocodile.

Being an Arbiter was not so easy. The War Behemoth had over two hundred contractors to deal with, while Su Xiao had to solo this giant crocodile.

Su Xiao had no complaints about this matter. High risk, high return—this was very fair.

The benefits obtained by contractors killing the War Behemoth were definitely not small, but that was divided among over two hundred people, and even those group leaders couldn't take too much.

But if Su Xiao killed this Mutant Lan Jue, the benefits would all be his own. The two were not comparable.

Su Xiao and the giant crocodile stood facing each other for about a minute, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, and the stuffiness in his chest disappeared.

The giant crocodile also recovered almost completely, and both sides approached each other involuntarily.

Today, only one side could leave this basin alive.

Ten meters, five meters—after the distance was close to a certain degree, Su Xiao erupted directly.

Rushing to the giant crocodile's side in two steps, a gaping maw full of stench bit down.

Just at this moment, Su Xiao directly performed an emergency brake, barely stopping in front of the giant crocodile. That gaping maw was right in front of him.

With a flip of his palm, a white 'bubble gum' the size of a thumb appeared in his left hand.

Su Xiao threw it casually. There was no need to aim at the giant crocodile's gaping maw; he threw it directly into its throat.

After doing all this, Su Xiao dodged the giant crocodile's bite and retreated quickly. The giant crocodile's mouth opened wide, appearing somewhat surprised as to why Su Xiao didn't continue fighting with it.

"IQ is really a hard injury. Explode!"

Thump!

A muffled sound came from the giant crocodile's chest and abdomen. The giant crocodile's belly suddenly bulged, and black blood sprayed from its mouth and nose.

The giant crocodile stood blankly in place, black blood flowing from its mouth, and fragments of internal organs could even be seen in it.

With a thud, the giant crocodile lay on the ground, its originally aligned upper and lower jaws crossing left and right, looking somewhat funny.

Su Xiao didn't rush forward rashly. He wouldn't make this kind of low-level mistake.

Taking out the Broken Spirit, Su Xiao fired several shots at the giant crocodile's head.

Although his marksmanship was not very good, now the distance was five meters, and it was a stationary target. If he couldn't hit it, that would be too unreasonable.

Several blood flowers exploded on the giant crocodile's head. The giant crocodile lay on the ground without moving, and those vertical pupils began to dissipate.

Firing six shots in a row, the giant crocodile still didn't die.

Su Xiao still didn't approach, taking out the last alchemy bomb and throwing it over.

Just as the alchemy bomb was thrown into mid-air, the giant crocodile's dissipated pupils suddenly condensed, and the crooked upper and lower jaws aligned again. This giant crocodile was feigning death.

Boom.

The explosion resounded through the basin. Several mutant beasts that smelled the blood and rushed over ran away. They were very afraid of the sound of the explosion; this was caused by being bombed by nuclear bombs.

Large flames wrapped the giant crocodile, and the impact generated by the explosion spread to the surroundings.

Su Xiao blocked in front with his left hand, his gaze staring closely at the flames in front of him.

Whoosh~.

A wind-breaking sound attacked. A somewhat scorched massive body rushed out from the flames—it was the Mutant Lan Jue.

At this time, the giant crocodile's lower jaw had been blown away, one eye had been blown blind, and bones were exposed in many parts of its body.

Even so, this giant crocodile still didn't die. The 39-point Stamina attribute was not just for show.

The giant crocodile pounced head-on. For this kind of desperate counterattack, Su Xiao immediately wanted to retreat.

He had just prepared to jump backward when a stinging pain came from his lower leg—the previous injury recurred.

When the severe pain subsided, it was too late for Su Xiao to retreat. The giant crocodile had already pounced in front of Su Xiao and bit at his head.

This was the giant crocodile's habitual action, but it seemed to have forgotten something: its lower jaw had been blown away, and it had forever lost the ability to bite people.

Su Xiao sneered coldly. The accident just now really gave him a fright.

His left hand, wrapped in a crimson metal bracer, reached out and directly grabbed the giant crocodile's upper jaw, and Zhan Long Shan followed closely behind.

Puchi, this blade went in from the throat—one step to the stomach!

The giant crocodile's body twitched. It actually didn't die after taking this blade. It seemed that the 3,000 HP was not just for show. ===== CHAPTER 281 =====
