Chapter 29 Boiling Blood!

"Hey——!!"

The long chirping of the silver-eyed scout continued.

However, it broke free from the tree trunk and flew to the riverbank, where its cry sounded more like a warning.

wow-

A splash erupted on the river surface as a massive black shadow burst forth from the water and crashed heavily onto the pebble beach on the shore.

Yun Che's pupils contracted.

It's a crocodile.

It is nearly three meters long, covered with dark red scales, has thick limbs, and a tail like a barbed iron whip.

Most terrifying of all are its scarlet eyes, radiating a crazed light, and its breath exhaling white hot air accompanied by a hissing sound.

Boiling Blood Crocodile!

This extraordinary creature, known for its violent and untamed nature, is kept at the Lanjiang breeding base.

Even those that have been "tamed" in the breeding base are still irritable and difficult to get along with.

This was the first time Yun Che had encountered a wild Boiling Blood Crocodile. Fortunately, the manual at the breeding base contained detailed information about this extraordinary creature.

[Name]: Boiling Blood Crocodile

[Attribute]: Water

[Racial Rank]: High-level Transcendent

[Racial Skills]: Bite, Blood Boil, Heavy Tail...

Based on the size of the Bloodthirsty Crocodile in front of us, the scales on its back, and the size of its teeth, it is not difficult to determine that this is a Bloodthirsty Crocodile with a low-level extraordinary strength!

But Yun Che could clearly sense that the Boiling Blood Crocodile's condition seemed... a little off!

Before he could think it through, the Boiling Blood Crocodile had already charged forward.

Its speed was astonishing; its three-meter-long body left a deep rut in the gravel beach as it charged straight toward Yun Che, who was closest to it.

Yun Che wiped his hand across Kong Kong's body and immediately removed the forced forging device.

"Spitting silk!"

"grumble!"

The little creature, feeling a sudden lightness all over its body, showed no fear. As it jumped to the ground, it immediately spat out silk threads to interfere.

The empty silk thread successfully diverted the Boiling Blood Crocodile's attention to it.

"roar--!!"

The Boiling Blood Crocodile roared, and scorching white steam rose from its body, scattering the threads wrapped around its face. Then, with a fierce lunge, it pounced towards Kong Kong.

"Don't confront them head-on!" Yun Che shouted immediately.

boom! !

Kongkong's timely dodge caused Boiling Blood Crocodile's attack to miss.

The giant jaws snapped into the spot where Kongkong had just been, sending debris flying and leaving a shallow crater in the ground.

So fierce, so violent!

Yun Che mobilized the power of Tokiwa, attempting to interfere with and influence the emotions of the Boiling Blood Crocodile.

Although getting too close is very dangerous, the Bloodthirsty Crocodile's attention is now completely focused on Kong Kong, so there is a chance to try.

If we can create some disruption, it might give Kong Kong some opportunities.

But when Yun Che's Everlasting Power came into contact with the Boiling Blood Crocodile, all he felt was...

confusion!

Extreme chaos.

There is also pain.

The boiling crocodile's mind seemed completely consumed by these two emotions; all its actions at that moment were driven by instinct...

Why is this happening?

"Ache, step back! Something's wrong with it!"

At this moment, Dr. Niu, who had heard the commotion, ran out of the tent, his clothes somewhat disheveled. But after noticing the condition of Boiling Blood Crocodile, he quickly called out to remind him.

"Doctor!" Yun Che, who also sensed that something was wrong with the Boiling Blood Crocodile, took a few steps back and called out to Doctor Niu.

He had doubts, but knew now was not the time to ask.

at the same time.

Having missed its attack, the Bloodthirsty Crocodile has launched another attack on Kongkong.

When it missed its bite, it immediately twisted its body, swung its thick tail, and lashed at Kongkong at an even faster speed than before.

Skill: Heavy Tail!

Air speed is not an advantage, and it is obviously impossible to dodge against the faster and wider-range heavy tail... Yun Che made a quick judgment in his mind.

"Dragon Tail!"

"grumble!!"

With his body lying on the ground, Kong Kong stared intently at the Boiling Blood Crocodile's lashing tail. His fighting spirit had not diminished after witnessing the Boiling Blood Crocodile's power; on the contrary, it had intensified.

A surge of light blue dragon energy emanated from its seemingly short tail, with each dragon scale forming a tangible dragon tail.

They charged forward to retaliate against the Boiling Blood Crocodile's tail.

boom! !

In an instant.

Pebbles flew everywhere on the riverbank, and two seemingly mismatched tails, one large and one small, collided without any cushioning.

The immense force caused the Boiling Blood Crocodile to slide and carve four furrows into the ground.

At the same time, Kongkong's body uncontrollably retreated a few steps.

Ok?

A hint of surprise flashed in Dr. Niu's eyes.

In a clash of strength and skill... Kongkong actually has the upper hand?!

Although he knew that Kongkong was not an ordinary green velvet worm, but was in the stage of dragon transformation, and had even defeated the Iron-Striped Claw Worm, which was also at a low level of extraordinary strength.

Furthermore, the Iron-Striped Cercis is a low-level lord race, while the Boiling Blood Crocodile is a high-level transcendent race.

But seeing it with your own eyes and hearing it are two different things.

and....

"A dragon-attribute skill at the mastery level?"

While Dr. Niu was surprised, he silently put the dagger-like object, which looked like a mechanically constructed weapon and had a metallic sheen, back into his pocket.

"Roar!!" The Boiling Blood Crocodile roared, and the hot air it exhaled became even more intense.

Beneath its dark red scales, something seemed to be boiling in its blood vessels, causing its body to swell!

"It's boiling blood," Dr. Niu reminded him.

The Boiling Blood skill causes the Boiling Blood Crocodile's blood to flow faster and its body temperature to rise sharply, thus gaining greater strength and speed.

However, the downside is that after using it, one will fall into a period of weakness or even coma.

Yun Che was not surprised by this skill; in fact, he had already prepared for it.

He had already prepared a countermeasure just as Boiling Blood Crocodile was about to unleash its Boiling Blood skill.

"Kongkong, Dragon Dance!" Yun Che waved his hand.

"grumble!!"

His empty eyes instantly sharpened.

The thumping of its heartbeat echoed in the night breeze, and light blue dragon-attribute energy flowed rapidly within its body, causing a surge of heat to rise from it.

Upon seeing Kongkong's skill, Dr. Niu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He gave the Silver-Eyed Sparrow in the air a look, and then it slowly retracted its metallic feathers that gleamed with a sharp luster.

Judging from the abilities Yun Che and Kong Kong have demonstrated, it seems... their talent in combat is quite formidable as well.

Yun Che narrowed his eyes.

"Charge!"

Even though Boiling Blood Crocodile used its skill first, Empty Dragon Dance was completed first and launched an attack without hesitation.

This is the advantage of reaching the proficiency level in Dragon Dance: faster casting speed and greater benefits!

The ground exploded.

The little guy sprinted straight ahead and instantly accelerated twice!

In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the Boiling Blood Crocodile.

Under its raging, scarlet gaze, it charged straight at you.

boom! !

click-

That was the sound of scales breaking.

Crimson light emanated from the top of the Boiling Blood Crocodile's head.

"roar!!"

The Bloodthirsty Crocodile roared in pain, its Bloodthirsty skill forcibly interrupted. It glared fiercely at Kong Kong, its massive jaws snapping down.

However, how could Yun Che and Kong Kong, who had already gained the upper hand, let this opportunity slip by?

"Kongkong, jump up!" Yun Che gave the order very quickly.

"grumble!"

Its empty tail slammed onto the ground, and its entire body sprang up, passing over the ferocious jaws of the Boiling Blood Crocodile and arriving directly above its head.

"Aim for its eyes, then its tail!"

The tail, covered in light blue dragon-attribute energy, slammed into the left eye of the Boiling Blood Crocodile.

boom!

Centered on the head of the Boiling Blood Crocodile, a wave of dust-laden air instantly surged forth.

"roar--"

The Boiling Blood Crocodile let out a painful whimper and collapsed into the dust.

Boiling Blood is indeed a powerful buff skill, which is one of the reasons why many people are fond of Boiling Blood Crocodile.

However, in this battle, Yun Che and Kong Kong, who seized the rhythm and initiative, obviously did not fully demonstrate the effect of this skill.

But just when they all thought it was over...

"roar!!"

The Bloodthirsty Crocodile, whose head scales were almost completely shattered, struggled again. The crimson blood flowing from its wounds seemed to conceal a violent power!

Fortunately, Yun Che, still puzzled by the state of the Boiling Blood Crocodile, did not completely let his guard down.

"Kongkong, one more time, Dragon Tail!"

The little guy grabbed the scales of the Boiling Blood Crocodile to hold himself in place, while simultaneously raising his tail high and bringing it down heavily.

boom!!

click-

It was the sound of bones cracking.

next second.

The entire ground suddenly caved in, revealing cracks and fissures!

Dust swirled on the pebble beach.

The Boiling Blood Crocodile swayed a few times before finally collapsing to the ground with a thud.

"grumble?"

The wary Kongkong patted the Boiling Blood Crocodile with its tail again, and only after confirming that it was really not moving again did it finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well done, Kongkong." Yun Che also breathed a sigh of relief.

Having already defeated the Iron-Patterned Claw Worm, which was at a similarly low-level extraordinary strength, the Boiling Blood Crocodile, which was practically devoid of reason, was naturally no match for it.

Moreover, Kongkong has made considerable progress.

However, the Boiling Blood Crocodile's condition is indeed...

Dr. Niu stepped forward.

The nearby Silver-Eyed Sparrow emitted a mechanical gear-like sound, followed by a metallic bottle falling from its chest.

With practiced ease, Dr. Niu collected the dark red blood flowing from the head of the Boiling Blood Crocodile.

"Doctor?" Upon seeing this, Yun Che used the power of Tokiwa to examine Kong Kong's body while asking the question.

Dr. Niu frowned.

"There's an energy in the Boiling Blood Crocodile's blood that doesn't belong to it, which is probably the reason it became like this, and perhaps even..."

Yun Che continued, "...Could it be directly related to the changes in the river?"

"The possibility is not low."
