Sailfish! It's a sailfish!
What frightened him the most was not the long and pointed jaw of the fish, but the fact that the swordfish had very obvious blood-red patterns on its body, which were darker than those on the Silver King and Mimi!
This is a mid-level mutant creature!
Intermediate mutated swordfish!
"Damn it! Why did we run into this kind of fish? Isn't this a fish from the sea?"
Xu Xin quickly took out his spear from his backpack and stared intently at the next move of the blood-marked swordfish.
He didn't understand why this one of the ocean overlords living in the deep sea would suddenly appear here.
He even opened his mouth and took a sip of water to confirm that the water was indeed fresh water.
"This is ridiculous!"
You should know that swordfish can swim through the water at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour. They are the fastest fish in the ocean for short distances.
Because of their fast speed, ferocious nature, strong attack power, the fact that they eat everything, and an extremely sharp jaw that can be used to deal with larger fish, adult swordfish have almost no natural enemies in the sea and are basically at the top of the food chain!
It was such an existence that suddenly appeared in this freshwater area formed by rainfall, which made Xu Xin shocked and confused, and his mind felt confused.
What else is there in this tornado?
A blood-marked swordfish that can live in fresh water actually emerged from it!
Fortunately, after coming out, the swordfish only used its long and sharp jaw to face Xu Xin, but did not launch an attack.
He was too shocked to pay attention just now, but now he realized that the swordfish's spine was actually longer than its body. There were circles of blood-red patterns on the thick spine, which looked ferocious and terrifying.
Intermediate-level mutant beasts strengthen parts of their bodies. In the case of this swordfish, it's clearly the long jaws that serve as its weapon that have been strengthened.
The ferocious long jaw was facing Xu Xin, making all his muscles tense and ready to dodge at any time.
But the blood-marked swordfish still did not launch an attack. It just swam forward for a while, then stopped and retreated, as if it was hesitating and afraid of something.
Xu Xin thought of something and his nervous mood eased slightly.
It seems that the anaconda scale armor suit he was wearing had begun to take effect in deterring aquatic creatures.
But we still can't take it lightly!
As long as he was in the water, he would not be able to compete with even an ordinary swordfish, let alone this intermediate mutated swordfish.
Although he was wearing a purple-grade anaconda scale armor suit, he had never tested the defensive power of this suit, and he was not sure whether it could defend against the attack of the blood-veined swordfish's reinforced jaws.
At least the blue-level armor is vulnerable to the rabbit ears of the intermediate mutant rabbit.
In the water, Xu Xin's means of attack would be greatly reduced. Under the resistance of the water, the spear could not exert its due power!
"No, let's retreat." Xu Xin faced the swordfish and began to swim slowly backwards.
But just as Xu Xin stepped back, the blood-marked swordfish beside the whirlpool suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Xu Xin!
“Damn it!”
Xu Xin swam as fast as he could towards the direction of the water flow, and with the help of the speed of the water flow, he quickly swam away from his original position.
The swordfish passed by him and he narrowly avoided the attack.
The sailfish, which had rushed out hundreds of meters, drew a circle and returned to a position about 20 meters away from Xu Xin. It pointed its sharp jaws at Xu Xin again and stopped in its original place, as if it was in hesitation again.
The scale armor set still has some effect.
Probably because Xu Xin's retreat was seen as a sign of weakness by the blood-marked swordfish, it rushed forward suddenly.
During the time the sailfish was circling, Xu Xin had already moved away from the center of the vortex and sank to the bottom of the water.
Killifish
There were patches of trees here providing cover. Although they were only about the thickness of an arm, they were randomly distributed underwater. If the sailfish tried to charge directly, it would inevitably collide with several trees. If it tried to weave through the trees, it would not be able to swim in a straight line, which would reduce the speed and power of its thrusts. Xu Xin could also use the trees to dodge.
Of course, it would be best if it could return to the vortex.
However, things went against his wishes. Seeing Xu Xin retreating, the blood-marked swordfish charged towards him again!
Just as Xu Xin expected, the sailfish was moving through the bushes, but not as fast as before. In fact, it couldn't dodge in time, and its sharp jaws even scratched the trunks of several small trees while swimming rapidly.
The blood-striped sailfish brushed past the small trees, and these unfortunate small trees were directly pierced by their sharp jaws and broke into two pieces on the spot!
Xu Xin held the gun in one hand and grabbed a small tree with the other. When the blood-marked swordfish was about to come over, he suddenly used the force to avoid the swordfish's attack again.
He gripped the spear tightly, leaving the spear head in its original position. The blood-marked swordfish stabbed through at high speed, and the spear head immediately left a mark on its body.
The water began to be filled with the blood of the blood-marked swordfish, and a faint smell of blood rushed into the nose.
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes and swam quickly towards the tree house.
He had learned from hunting blood-marked rabbits and blood-marked cats before that an injured intermediate mutant creature would relentlessly pursue the enemy that hurt it. Even if it was seriously injured and on the verge of death, it would not give up and would fight until the last moment of its life.
So, from the moment he injured the blood-marked swordfish, he was already targeted.
Xu Xin's idea was also very simple. He used the small trees under the water as cover to lure the swordfish to the vicinity of the tree house as quickly as possible.
