Chapter 334 Survival by Cutting Off the Tail
[The aircraft has suffered continuous impacts; 1.7% damage to the outer armor has been detected. The self-repair module has been activated. All personnel inside the cabin must remain secured and refrain from movement.]
[The aircraft has been detected to have entered water. The diving module has been activated. The current water depth is 48.75 meters. The aircraft is currently adapting to different attitudes.]
[An intensified strange energy reaction has been detected. Stealth module activated! Automatic defense module activated!]
[Environmental conditions are highly hazardous; energy reaction simulation module activated!]
[Complex aquatic environment detected; currently descending; estimated depth 30 meters...]
……
The mechanical voice sounded again, pulling everyone back to the brink of despair.
In their understanding, Xu Si's car seemed to have become a "submarine".
They appear to be dead.
But it seems it's not completely dead yet.
As a strange feeling of weightlessness washed over them, they sensed Nirvana descending.
They are sinking.
As the impact subsided, Fu Xiaojian stood up, leaning on the door of the Mengshi truck, his sharp gaze sweeping over every part of the cargo hold.
The spacious interior of the carriage showed no signs of leaks, which was good news.
He then turned his gaze to the rest of the convoy.
Fear, confusion, and feigned composure—the myriad aspects of human nature are presented one by one.
"Get back to your cars and fasten your seatbelts!" His voice even echoed, but it calmed everyone down.
Xiao Luo hadn't gotten out of the car either, but his face was terribly pale.
Clearly, prolonged use of psychic touch, psychic sharing, and psychic barriers has taken a heavy toll on him.
His gaze pierced through the metal walls of the belly compartment, and he couldn't resist using his spiritual senses to see what was happening outside.
But reason told him that ensuring the activation of the 'psychic barrier' was the most urgent task at hand.
At this moment underwater, [Nirvana] completely mimics the appearance and energy reaction of [Crocodile], and generally dives underwater.
On the surface of the water, countless [crocodile spirits] are frantically searching for the massive vehicle that has fallen into the water, but to no avail.
As for [Nirvana], they didn't even dare to get close.
This is the natural conflict between the "low-level weirdness" and the "high-level weirdness".
Inside the belly compartment, the cold light of the emergency lights illuminated the unease on everyone's faces with crystal clarity.
The quiet inside the cabin was a stark contrast to the raging storm on the river.
Current water depth... 40 meters... continuing to descend...
The simulation module is functioning normally...not detected...
[Current water depth 30 meters, reaching the target area, currently moving out of the current water area...]
……
Having withstood Xu Si's attack, the Crocodile Demon stared for a moment in the direction where Nirvana had left, looking puzzled.
It remembered that it seemed to have only three offspring left.
Why did another one suddenly appear?
Before it could think it through, Xu Si's attack had already arrived.
Right now.
The crimson orb in Xu Si's hand had been compressed to its limit, only the size of a grain of rice, yet it contained destructive energy sufficient to annihilate everything.
Without hesitation, he plummeted into the rain.
The first leap forward – [The Sluggish Footsteps]
The 100-meter distance was instantly erased.
【Crocodile Demon】suddenly turned around, a hint of surprise flashing in his cold eyes.
It didn't expect Xu Si to dare to approach it.
The gap in cultivation level between it and Xu Si is insurmountable, so isn't this giving it an opportunity?
It just so happens that it doesn't know how to pull this troublesome little guy down!
[Crocodile Demon] must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Xu Si thought so too.
He could sense that Nirvana had safely evacuated, and he could finally go all out.
There's always going to be a winner and a loser between him and [Crocodile Demon].
With a roar, the Crocodile Demon unleashed a massive water gun at Xu Si, creating a water wall tens of meters high that blocked all of Xu Si's escape routes.
But Xu Si chose to confront them head-on.
"Whoosh!"
[The Sluggish Footprints] The Second Leap—
His figure flashed in the water, forcefully passing through the gap between the giant waves, and appeared less than ten meters above the head of the Crocodile Demon.
For the first time, Xu Si saw panic in those dark green eyes.
At a distance of ten meters, even a small child could hit it.
Xu Si suddenly threw the crimson ball of light, which had been compressed to its limit, out of his right hand.
Within the pupils of the Crocodile Demon, an inconspicuous sphere of light, the size of a grain of rice, suddenly grew larger.
At the same time, Xu Si initiated the final jump without hesitation—
boom----!!!
The crimson sphere of light, compressed to its absolute limit, exploded violently inside the most vulnerable part of its eyeball.
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a blinding crimson light suddenly blazing from the depths of its eye sockets, and then—
puff.
Dark green blood mixed with fragments of the lens flew everywhere.
The enormous body of the Crocodile Demon convulsed violently, its massive tail, powerful enough to split mountains, lashed wildly, creating towering waves in the torrent.
It opened its huge mouth as if to roar, but only half of its upper jaw remained, whimpering weakly.
This time, it was Xu Si's turn to be shocked.
This was his most powerful move, but unexpectedly, [Crocodile Demon] withstood it, and judging from its voice, it clearly still had the strength to fight.
Xu Si gave it no chance to catch its breath.
Almost at the same instant it regained its footing, the Sword of Punishment transformed into a crimson streak of light, precisely piercing the eye socket that was still gushing dark green blood.
"A just verdict—does it harm people?"
The answer is obvious.
The sword shone with an unprecedentedly intense red light, as if the judge had finally found the prey that deserved it most.
The struggle of the Crocodile Demon suddenly froze.
A hint of confusion flashed in its two remaining, still intact eyes.
Immediately, eerie dark green patterns began to spread from his eye sockets, like countless fine, venomous snakes.
"roar--!!!"
This time it was a real, desperate scream.
However, something unexpected happened to Xu Si.
Its enormous tail, which had attacked Xu Si countless times, suddenly detached itself right before Xu Si's eyes.
Like a gecko shedding its tail to survive.
The severed and mangled body turned into the same sewage as when the Crocodile Demon died.
Xu Si did not receive any system notification.
So this guy cut off his tail to survive?
He then remembered the feature he had overlooked in the system notification.
This thing might be the real trump card for the Crocodile Demon's survival.
Is it that hard to kill?
Xu Si fell into deep self-doubt.
And that inconspicuous, enormous tail that had long since sunk into the water.
At this moment, unimaginable changes are taking place.
As it sank, the severed tail rapidly expanded and twisted, with gray-black scales growing wildly from the break, instantly outlining the silhouette of a miniature Crocodile Demon.
Its size was only one-third of its original size, and its aura was much weaker.
But they are indeed alive.
Meanwhile, Xu Si was frantically searching for the escaped [Crocodile Demon] using his Star Pulse.
The Crocodile Demon in the waters below has entered a state of complete berserk rage.
The "Bloodlust and Frenzy" trait?
Without finding the target, the [Crocodile Demon]'s command cannot be completed.
Then all that awaited them was to be devoured by the Crocodile Demon.
This causes their bloodlust to activate automatically.
The Crocodile Demon had just escaped with its life by "cutting off its tail".
At this moment, however, they were caught in the frenzied, bloodthirsty devouring of the [Crocodile Demon].
