Chapter 330 Retreat
The level-four monster, which was firmly bound by Jiang Li's chains, seemed to sense a deadly threat.
It struggled frantically in the turbid torrent, its gray-black scales emitting a blinding glow, attempting to activate its "Dominator of the Waters" properties to control the surrounding floodwaters and form a barrier.
But Jiang Li's "chains of torture" are too bizarre—those pitch-black chains are not physical restraints, but are directly driven into its energy source, and every struggle is accompanied by a deeper confinement.
"laugh--!"
By the time the Level 5 monster, submerged in the torrent, reacted, Xu Si's scarlet javelin had already pierced through the rain curtain and precisely entered the monster's gaping maw.
There was no explosion, no roar.
The energy of the starburst was released instantly within its body, like countless fine blades cutting and annihilating it from the inside.
The bizarre struggle suddenly froze, a look of bewilderment flashing in its turbid pupils, before its entire body exploded, turning into countless fragments of flesh and blood that scattered like a rain of stars.
[Purify Level 4 Eerie Creature - Crocodile Demon, Purification Points +8000, Remaining Purification Points: 113770]
The system notification sounded in Xu Si's mind, but he didn't have time to look at it carefully.
The level 5 eerie creature, [Crocodile Demon], is enraged.
A violent roar sent a shiver down the spines of everyone in the convoy.
Then, its massive body displayed an agility completely disproportionate to its size in the torrent.
It did not leap out of the water, but instead, like a gray-black lightning bolt, it skimmed across the surface of the water.
The giant tail swept across, creating water jets tens of meters high that blocked all possible escape routes for everyone on the shore.
At the same time, seemingly under the instruction or command of the [Crocodile Demon], the remaining six level-four monsters simultaneously went berserk.
This guy's IQ is really high to a certain extent, he actually abandoned Xu Si and turned his attention to the other members of the Xin Huoche team.
It seems they intend to coordinate with these [crocodiles] to completely wipe out Xu Si's rear.
After all, a level 4 weirdo still has a huge advantage over a sequence 3.
Not only Xu Si knows how to build a defensive line, but Gui Yi does the same thing.
They were even more ruthless than Xu Si.
Tashan, Su Su, and the others, who were already struggling to hold on, were suddenly plunged into a critical situation.
At the critical moment, it was Chen Pei's two water giants who joined hands to stop the water sword that was like a waterfall.
However, both giants were shattered by a single sword strike.
Having broken free from the two water giants and now enraged, the two crocodile-like creatures instantly turned their gaping maws toward Lin Zhennan, Pei Xiu, and the other two, who were in the worst condition.
Caught completely off guard, Hinata and his two companions were caught off guard.
Hinata Aoi can still use the strange properties of the giant umbrella to maneuver, while Lin Zhennan and Pei Xiu do not have this advantage.
They were already struggling to hold off two strange creatures, and now two more suddenly appeared.
The two men's fighting strength was immediately stretched thin.
Xu Si fired a javelin, only managing to stop one of the strange creatures from tearing at him.
Jiang Li, who had freed up her hands, could only stop the other end.
The other two were bizarre and completely out of control, frantically and recklessly tearing at Lin Zhennan and Pei Xiu.
At the last moment, Xu Si's star pupils suddenly contracted, because he discovered that Pei Xiu had actually rammed Lin Zhennan, who was back to back with him, out of the attack range in a strange way.
The next moment, the two strange creatures opened their mouths and bit into Pei Xiu's old body without any hindrance.
Then several violent, deathly rolls dragged him into the torrent.
All of this happened too fast, too quickly.
The torrential rain continued to pour down, pounding against the floodwaters and creating dense sprays of water.
The convoy members watching from a distance seemed to have been put on pause.
Jiao Jiao covered her mouth tightly!
Lin Zhennan, who had been thrown into the air, landed on the slippery slope, his eyes wide open as if they were about to burst.
In that brief moment, he clearly felt the distance between life and death.
"Elder Pei... Elder Pei..." he murmured softly.
Hinata Aoi held up a giant umbrella, its surface splattered with black blood.
She stood in the rain, her usually bright eyes now as dark as two stagnant pools.
The two strange entities that were besieging Tashan and Susu were now completely contained thanks to the combined efforts of Tashan and Susu.
Chen Pei finally freed his hands, and the two huge water snakes coiled around the strange creature that Jiang Li had just bound, while simultaneously tightening their bodies.
Xu Si seemed to hear the sound of flesh and blood tearing apart.
"Damn it!" Tashan slammed his fist on the ground, splashing mud and water everywhere.
His attacks became increasingly fierce, as if three bizarre creatures were engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
The golden light surrounding Su Su suddenly receded, becoming even more perfectly coordinated with Ta Shan, while her aura also began to swell.
It seems that the limit of the sequence capacity has been reached.
The strange creature that Xu Si had hastily pinned to the ground had not died.
A raging tide swept it up, and it surged and churned, yet it still tried to escape.
It is that intelligent creature, the Crocodile Demon, whose wisdom is no less than that of humans.
At the same time, a roar rang out, and the two strange creatures that were besieging Tashan and Susu forced them back with several tail whips before heading down the hill at an extremely fast speed.
This was clearly a tactical retreat.
Only the strange creature, bound by Jiang Li's "chains of torture" and being frantically strangled by Chen Pei's two giant pythons, was still rolling around on the hill.
Just as the heavily injured monster was about to disappear from sight.
The Sword of Punishment suddenly shot out.
Under the current circumstances, the accuracy of the [Sword of Punishment] is much more reliable than that of the Starburst.
Under Xu Sixing's gaze, the [Sword of Punishment] transformed into a crimson streak of light, precisely piercing through the heavily wounded monster that was fleeing.
The crocodile let out a mournful roar, its massive body churning violently in the torrent, stirring up towering waves.
"A just verdict—does it harm people?"
The sword of punishment suddenly glowed with a scarlet light the instant it pierced its target.
It was a more intense light than any Xu Si had ever used, as if the sleeping judge had finally found its prey.
The ruling is to be made independently.
The moment the sword tip pierced through, Xu Si "saw" that strangely short life.
Murky waters, endless carnage, devouring one's own kind, submitting to a more powerful being.
There is no good or evil, no right or wrong, only the instinct to survive.
But the "just verdict" doesn't care about any of that.
It only cares about one thing—whether the target ever had malicious intent.
The answer is obviously yes.
The crimson light from the sword as it swept across the strange wound suddenly exploded, like thousands of fine blood vessels instantly invading the bizarre and enormous body.
The crocodile that had been struggling suddenly froze, its poison attack erupting in an instant.
A look of bewilderment flashed in its pupils, and then its entire body began to disintegrate from the inside out.
It's not the kind of energy annihilation like a starburst, but a more bizarre and thorough "dissolution".
The grayish-black scales peeled off piece by piece, revealing the flesh and blood underneath, which had turned into pus.
The pus, upon falling into the torrent, turned the rainwater within a radius of several meters into a dark green color, emitting a pungent stench.
The poison status effect of "Justice's Judgment" is terrifying once it is triggered.
[Purify Level 4 Eerie Creature - Crocodile Demon, Purification Points +8000, Remaining Purification Points: 121770]
The system notification sounded, but Xu Si didn't have time to look at it carefully.
His gaze was fixed on the Crocodile Demon that had already dived into the deep water.
That guy escaped, or rather, made a strategic retreat.
Because of its intelligence, Xu Si was unsure whether it would seize an opportunity to kill again.
However, the strange creature that Chen Pei was strangling was simply abandoned by him.
The decisiveness to give up was beyond imagination.
