"Chen Rui..."
A young male player shouted, his eyes red as he looked at the player who was drowning in the crocodile pack.
He was then grabbed by the girl next to him.
"Shao Siyuan, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Don't go over there!"
Shao Siyuan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"They're here!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, their voice cracking with fear. The surrounding crocodiles began charging at the players in the encirclement, forcing them to fight back desperately.
However, there were too many crocodiles. Every now and then, a high-level mutated crocodile watching from the sidelines would randomly select a lucky player to join in. The difference between the number of crocodiles killed by the players and their own casualties was immediately apparent.
"Damn it! What do these beasts mean? Are they playing us for fools?!"
In the crowd, a player wearing a floral shirt shouted, and his longsword suddenly pierced through, embedding itself deeply into the body of a crocodile.
He wasn't just saying that casually. That giant crocodile could clearly have killed them all, yet it just stood by and watched. Every time a player was captured, instead of killing them, it tore and tortured them until they were on the verge of death before dumping them aside.
The player in the floral shirt is considered to be of average strength among players, which is why he has persisted until now.
Just now, he watched helplessly as someone died from excessive blood loss in the middle of a crowd.
In the blink of an eye, only four players remained.
Four players, two men and two women, stood back to back, their clothes soaked with blood.
"what to do?"
The man in the floral shirt spat out a mouthful of bloody foam: "Pah! How would I know? I'm talking about the guy surnamed Shao, what about you?" The other two girls also looked over expectantly.
Shao Siyuan frowned.
Despite his young age, everyone has witnessed his performance along the way.
Some people, taking advantage of their longer lifespan, treated him poorly, but whenever something major happened, Shao Siyuan was the first person everyone thought of. The other three secretly hoped that he would create another miracle.
Unfortunately, the answer will disappoint them!
Shao Siyuan gave a wry smile and shook his head. Did everyone think he was a god? That was a high-level mutated animal, while he was just an ordinary person. The purple item in his hand had just entered its cooldown period. What made him think he could create a miracle? Just because of the blue longsword in his hand?
Although it was just wishful thinking, the other three couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration after seeing Shao Siyuan's actions.
"Damn it, I'll risk it!" The man in the floral shirt then pulled a bottle of medicine from his backpack and poured it down his throat.
The same goes for everyone else. At this point, rather than dying of frustration, it's better to gamble everything.
Don't keep any boosting potions or items with strong side effects to yourself; use them all!
Over there, the mutated crocodile's eyes gleamed with an ominous light, as if it were growing impatient. Its massive body slowly writhed, trying to end this tedious game.
With a low, suppressed roar, the crocodile's fang-filled mouth suddenly opened, and the swamp in front of it seemed to come alive. The rotting mud quickly condensed and then twisted in mid-air into a ferocious giant hand. The giant hand, carrying an aura of decay and despair, pounced on Shao Siyuan and his companions with unstoppable force.
A resolute glint flashed in Chen Shujun's eyes. She quickly pulled out an ancient jade pendant from her bosom, which emitted a faint, warm glow in the darkness.
She threw the jade tablet at the giant hand. The tablet traced a beautiful arc in the air, and then with a soft "hum," a dazzling sword light shot out from the tablet like lightning piercing the night sky. It carried a chilling sword intent and crashed hard into the giant hand formed from mud.
The moment the sword light collided with the giant hand, a deafening roar erupted, as if the surrounding air was being torn apart by the force, creating visible ripples. The giant hand trembled and twisted under the impact of the sword light, but after a moment's pause, it crushed the sword light without hesitation.
The jade pendant shattered, turning into dust that instantly dissipated into the air.
With no obstacle in sight, the giant hand drew ever closer to the four.
At this moment, Shao Siyuan and the man in the floral shirt moved. One raised a protective shield, and the other threw his weapon into the air. The longsword rapidly grew larger in the air and met the giant swamp hand without hesitation.
Taking advantage of this time, Xu Beibei secretly took out the three remaining stun grenades and threw them at the mutated crocodile's previous wounds. She understood the principle of striking while the iron is hot.
"Boom!" The stun grenade exploded the moment it approached the mutated crocodile. The dazzling light and deafening explosion churned up the surrounding water, and the huge shockwave hurled the surrounding mud high into the air, creating a chaotic vortex.
The mutated crocodile roared in pain at the sudden attack, its massive body twisting violently as it tried to escape the pain.
Meanwhile, the two forces that clashed again in mid-air also had a victor.
With a deafening roar, like thunder tearing the sky apart, two immense forces collided violently in mid-air, creating visible ripples that spread like an apocalyptic storm.
The protective shield shattered into pieces due to the shockwave, but most of the damage had been blocked. The remaining shockwave only ruthlessly tossed the four people in all directions.
The already sparse trees and vegetation in the area were completely destroyed by this attack, and the small crocodiles that surrounded the area were either dead or injured.
Some were directly hit by the shockwave, their bodies instantly exploding into a shower of blood and flesh; others struggled, emitting mournful howls, and rolled around in the mud.
Amidst the chaos, Xiao Jin, who had been leisurely watching the show, was also caught in the crossfire.
The devastating impact snapped the surrounding trees in half. Xiao Jin stood on a tree, his body swaying violently, with leaves flying everywhere in front of him.
To avoid being crushed to death, she darted down from the tree like a nimble swallow.
As she landed, the water beneath her feet churned violently from the shockwave, splashing water everywhere like pearls. Xiao Jin stood firmly, her gaze sharp, and calmly waved her hand at the questioning gazes sweeping over her from all around.
"Excuse me, I was just passing by!"
Mutant crocodile: "..." Where did this little ant come from?
The four players: "..." So there were other people around!
Xu Beibei was the first to react. She lay on the ground, her face covered in foul-smelling mud.
She opened her big, clear eyes and reached out her hand to Xiao Jin: "Ahhh, big brother, help me! We've met before!"
Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow.
She thought for a moment, then pulled out a conversation from her memory that left her speechless.
"Ah! It's you guys!"
“Yes, yes, yes!” Xu Beibei nodded vigorously.
