Chapter 371: Fighting the Giant Crocodile, the Mist Gradually Parts
The black light emanating from the giant black-scaled crocodile grew increasingly intense, distorting the surrounding air and creating a buzzing sound. Huanmo found it increasingly difficult to breathe; each breath carried a pungent odor and a suffocating pressure. He knew that the beast's impending attack would be terrifying, and they had to go all out.
"Everyone stay calm, don't panic!" Huanmo shouted, trying to instill confidence in his companions. Although his voice was firm, his heart was filled with worry. Looking at the huge, menacing black-scaled crocodile before him, he knew they had reached a critical moment of life and death.
Yi Chen gripped the chipped, broken gun tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hand. His eyes showed no sign of retreat, only unwavering determination. "Come on, you beast!" he roared in a low voice. Although the previous battle had exhausted him, he was willing to fight to the last ounce of his strength for his comrades and to pass the test.
The woman in white bit her lip tightly, the tattered ribbon in her hand trembling slightly. Her face was filled with fear, but even more so with resentment. "I won't give up like this!" she vowed silently, a resolute glint in her eyes.
The mysterious figure's expression was grave, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He knew the situation was critical and he had to devise a way to deal with the impending attack. "The Black Scale Crocodile's power has increased dramatically in a short time. A direct confrontation would likely be difficult to win. We need to find its weakness." He maintained his suppression of the Black Scale Crocodile's spiritual power while rapidly searching for a countermeasure in his mind.
Just then, the giant black-scaled crocodile finally launched its attack. It opened its blood-red maw, and a torrent of black energy swept towards Huanmo and the others like a raging tsunami. Wherever the energy torrent passed, the ground was instantly corroded, leaving a deep trench, and the surrounding trees were reduced to ashes by this powerful force.
"Defend quickly!" Huanmo shouted, raising his divine artifact. The artifact shone brightly, forming a light barrier in front of everyone. Yichen, the woman in white, and the mysterious figure also poured their power into the light barrier.
The torrent of black energy crashed into the light barrier, unleashing a deafening roar. The light barrier shook violently, its light flickering as if it might shatter at any moment. Huanmo and the others felt a tremendous impact, their bodies involuntarily thrown backward. Their feet carved deep furrows in the ground as they tried to resist the powerful force.
"Hold on, we can't let it defeat us!" Huanmo gritted his teeth, doing everything he could to maintain the light barrier. His arms trembled slightly from the immense pressure, and a pained expression appeared on his face, but his eyes remained firmly fixed on the black-scaled crocodile in front of him.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the light barrier finally withstood the onslaught of the black energy torrent. However, before they could even catch their breath, the giant black-scaled crocodile launched another attack. It leaped high into the air, its massive body like a black mountain, crashing down upon the group.
"Scatter!" Huanmo shouted, and everyone quickly scattered in different directions. The giant black-scaled crocodile slammed heavily onto the ground, causing it to collapse instantly and form a huge crater. Black soil and rocks flew up like cannonballs, shooting towards the group.
While dodging the flying dirt and rocks, Huanmo observed the giant black-scaled crocodile's movements. He noticed that after each attack, a brief gap would appear between the scales on its belly. "Listen up, everyone! There's an opening between its belly scales! Attack there!" Huanmo shouted.
Upon hearing this, Yi Chen charged towards the giant black-scaled crocodile. He seized an opening after the crocodile's attack, wielding his broken spear and thrusting it towards its abdomen. However, the crocodile reacted with lightning speed, quickly twisting its body to evade Yi Chen's attack. Simultaneously, its tail, like a black steel whip, swept horizontally towards Yi Chen.
Yi Chen quickly dodged to the side, but was still grazed on the arm by the tail, and a trickle of blood flowed down his arm. "Damn it!" Yi Chen gritted his teeth, looking for another opportunity to attack.
The woman in white danced with her tattered ribbons, which transformed into streaks of white light that shot towards the black-scaled crocodile's eyes, attempting to disrupt its movements. Drawn by the light, the black-scaled crocodile slightly turned its head, giving Yi Chen an opportunity.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yi Chen charged at the Black Scale Crocodile again. This time, he successfully plunged the broken spear into the gap between the scales on the crocodile's abdomen. The Black Scale Crocodile let out a painful roar, its body trembling violently.
Seeing this, Huanmo and the mysterious figure also launched an attack. Huanmo channeled the power of the divine artifact, and a beam of light struck the Black Scale Crocodile's wound. The mysterious figure formed hand seals, and a golden rune shot towards the Black Scale Crocodile. After the rune struck the Black Scale Crocodile, it erupted with a dazzling light, and black blood began to flow from the crocodile's wound.
Under the onslaught of the group, the giant black-scaled crocodile grew increasingly frenzied. It twisted its body repeatedly, trying to throw Yi Chen off. Yi Chen gripped the broken spear tightly, pushing off the crocodile's body with his feet to prevent himself from being thrown off.
"Give it your all, we're almost there!" Huanmo shouted. The group intensified their attacks, and the black-scaled crocodile's struggles gradually weakened.
Finally, under the combined attack of everyone, the giant black-scaled crocodile let out a low roar and slowly collapsed to the ground. Its body stopped moving, and the black light around it gradually dissipated.
Looking at the fallen giant black-scaled crocodile, Huanmo and the others finally felt some of the tension and fear dissipate. They exchanged glances, their faces showing tired but relieved smiles.
"We did it..." Yi Chen said, panting heavily. His face was covered in sweat and blood, but his eyes were full of joy.
"We can't relax yet. We need to cross the river quickly and see what's on the trees on the other side," Huanmo said. Although he was exhausted, he was still concerned about the key to passing the test.
The group arrived at the riverbank and, looking at the swift, black current, were momentarily at a loss. There were no tools to cross the river, and after the battle, their spiritual energy was nearly depleted.
"The river is flowing too fast; it's too dangerous to swim across directly," the woman in white said, frowning.
Just then, the mysterious figure noticed some huge rocks by the river. After a moment's thought, he said, "We can use these rocks to build a simple bridge. Although it may not be very stable, it's still safer than swimming across directly."
Everyone agreed that this was the best solution, so they all got to work, moving the stones one by one into the river. With everyone's efforts, a simple stone bridge gradually took shape.
However, as they prepared to step onto the stone bridge, huge whirlpools suddenly surged in the river. The force of the whirlpools made the stone bridge sway precariously, and some stones began to loosen and fall into the river.
"Oh no, what's going on?" Yi Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Huanmo gazed at the ever-flowing whirlpool, his heart filled with doubt and worry. "Could this be another test? How are we supposed to cross this whirlpool?"
Just as everyone was at a loss, they suddenly heard a deep roar. The sound seemed to be coming from the bottom of the river, and it was getting closer and closer.
