Chapter 57 Devour
The forest was filled with a smell of rottenness.
The only words that can be reminiscent of this smell are dampness, corruption, death and despair. Yang Xiao’s feet are muddy, so you must be extra careful every step you take, otherwise you may step into the swamp.
As soon as Yang Xiao entered the illusion array forest, he found that his perception ability was bound, and his vision and hearing were greatly reduced. Even the perception ability of the immortal soul was reduced to the level of an ordinary cultivator.
Yang Xiao knew that this was all caused by the illusion array, and his combat power was reduced by at least one quarter of this formation.
At this time, Yang Xiao had entered the illusion array for about half an hour. But in this half hour, he did not find any living organism. Apart from the decaying trees and moss on the ground, even a flying insect had never appeared.
It can be said that the area where he is now is a dead place. Apart from Yang Xiao's breathing and footsteps, there is no sound around him. Such a quiet atmosphere makes people feel depressed and irritable.
Yang Xiao tried hard to maintain a peaceful state. He knew that the surrounding environment was actually deliberately created by the formation. If this kind of depression and irritability continues to amplify in his heart, it would be an extremely dangerous thing.
Yang Xiao in his previous life used formations to trap his opponents and constantly destroyed his mind until he drove his opponent crazy or even committed suicide.
This is the so-called "hidden killing".
But just this level of illusion array cannot have much impact on Yang Xiao. What he is really wary of is the living creature hidden deep in this dead silence.
As Yang Xiao expected, in a mud three or four hundred meters away, there were dim eyes watching Yang Xiao's every move.
This is a giant earth crocodile, which has lived in this area for countless years. Because of the formation, it cannot leave, cannot improve its strength, and cannot even die.
It has only one mission, which is to kill all living creatures entering this area. If it succeeds, it can leave the Illusion Forest.
Although this earth-rushing giant crocodile has only the strength of the early stage of the Void Dan Realm, its intelligence is not low. Over the long years, it has learned to wait in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity that will hit a blow.
After discovering that Yang Xiao stopped to rest, the giant crocodile sensed the arrival of opportunity. It silently followed the soil and sneaked in the direction where Yang Xiao was.
Tu Xun is its innate ability. In the soil, it can freely shuttle, as if it is in water. However, on the soil, no abnormalities can be seen.
Due to the influence of the illusion array, Yang Xiao did not realize that the danger was approaching, but he remained highly vigilant. Experience in his previous life told him that the more calm he was, the more infinite crises were hidden.
Just as Yang Xiao was about to launch the "Thirty-Six Steps of Xiaoyou" to continue moving forward, he suddenly felt the ground under his feet tremble slightly. Yang Xiao subconsciously wanted to jump up and dodge, but found that the ground under his feet became as soft as cotton and could not borrow any force.
A bloody mouth broke out quickly and swallowed Yang Xiao. All this came too quickly, almost happening in a flash.
The moment Yang Xiao was swallowed, he realized that he was swallowed into his mouth by a monster.
The mouth of the Tuyun giant crocodile was filled with foul smell, and it was surrounded by extremely sticky saliva. This saliva was also strongly corrosive, making Yang Xiao's skin feel as painful as fire.
Yang Xiao did not lose his mind because of fear. Although he could not see anything in the giant crocodile's mouth, he knew that this monster must not swallow him into his stomach.
He pulled out blood from his legs, and the implosion of the armor-piercing bomb was ready. Just as Yang Xiao was about to shoot, he obviously felt a huge force coming from the top of his head, and Yang Xiao immediately realized that the monster was planning to swallow him into his stomach.
Yang Xiao no longer hesitated, and pointed the blood in his hand at the top of his head and fired four shots in succession.
"Ao——!"
After four gunshots, the giant Tu Xun crocodile let out a wailing cry, opened its mouth and threw Yang Xiao out. Although its defense was amazing and it would not have been killed by these four guns, the severe pain was still afraid to let the giant Tu Xun crocodile swallow Yang Xiao alive.
Yang Xiao saw the light of day again and did not dare to slack off at all, and even had no time to erase the disgusting mucus attached to him. He immediately jumped to a nearby dead tree.
The giant crocodile was injured by Yang Xiao, and it was also very fierce. It no longer hides its traces and rushed towards Yang Xiao.
"Good come!"
After seeing the appearance of this monster, Yang Xiao knew that this was a giant crocodile in the Xudan Realm. He was not unfamiliar with this monster. There were no less than a hundred giant crocodile tamed by Yang Xiao in his previous life.
Therefore, Yang Xiao knew the advantages and disadvantages of the Tuxun Giant Crocodile. While he retreated, he was thinking about the next countermeasures.
Now Yang Xiao only has the strength at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, which is one big difference from this earth-rush giant crocodile. It is impossible for him to face this monster head-on. Fortunately, Yang Xiao’s goal today is not to tame this monster, but to kill it.
Yang Xiao is still more than six levels of confidence in this.
Yang Xiao knew that the Tu Xun Giant Crocodile had a layer of magical mucus. This mucus not only brought it the ability to Tu Xun, but also had the ability to weaken external attacks. In addition, the Tu Xun Giant Crocodile had a layer of horny skin with high defense under the mucus layer.
Therefore, the defense ability of the Tu Xun giant crocodile is very outstanding, but Yang Xiao knows how to break this defense.
On the other hand, the Tuxu giant crocodile lacks long-range attack ability and speed, which is also a breakthrough point that Yang Xiao can use.
The only thing that made Yang Xiao more afraid was its elusive Tu Xun ability, but at this time the giant Tu Xun crocodile launched a head-on attack because of anger, which naturally made Yang Xiao overjoyed.
While retreating, Yang Xiao loaded the formation bullets in the bloody sound.
Yang Xiao raised his gun and fired. The first shot was a quick-freezing bullet, while the second shot was still an implosion-piercing armor-piercing bullet.
The function of the quick-freezing bomb is to quickly freeze the mucus and keratinous skin on the surface of the giant crocodile. Although it cannot cause substantial damage to the giant crocodile, it can make its skin fragile.
When the second inward implosion armor-piercing projectile arrives, it can easily break through the defense of the giant crocodile and enter its body.
Yang Xiao fired more than ten guns in a row according to this ammunition combination order.
But even so, Yang Xiao only caused Tu Xun Giant Crocodile to suffer from pain all over the body, but did not cause any fatal damage to it.
The giant crocodile endured severe pain and approached quickly, finally leaving Yang Xiao with no choice.
A hint of pleasure appeared in its eyes, and opened its huge mouth and bit it at Yang Xiao's upper body. It wanted to make this annoying human body and head different from each other.
Yang Xiao also seemed to give up running away and stood there without moving.
