Chapter 167: Sand Crocodile
The quicksand cascaded like a waterfall in all directions, and crouching in front of it was a terrifying creeping creeping creature that looked like a mythical dragon, but Delaenor was sure it was a ridiculously large crocodile.
"You call this thing a reptile!?"
Draenor angrily slammed his shoulder against the wooden door and shouted at Gark, swearing he would never believe anything the guy said again. The crocodile in front of him raised its head and spewed two huge pillars of sand from its barrel-like nose, and even though its abdomen was visibly shriveled, its muscles and terrifying scales were enough to crush any prey.
The moment the giant appeared, the atmosphere in the arena suddenly became scorching. The crowd bathed in the morning light was like hungry ants, and they looked forward to the stranger being torn apart by the beast, and only then could the restless desires of their hearts be satisfied.
"Calm down...... The first priority is to find the key as soon as possible. ”
Draenor swallowed and rolled his eyes to look around the Colosseum, where there were indeed several wooden boxes held up by metal pillars in the four corners of the sand, and if Garc was right, the key to unlocking the shackles was in the first wooden box on the right.
"Wait a minute, 'the first'? How did I know that box was the first one!? ”
Draenor's cry caught the crocodile's attention, and it suddenly whipped its tail and whipped it to the ground, its knife-like pupils constricting and staring at the figure not far away.
"I'm sorry, but I wasn't the one who woke you to sleep." Draenor's back slowly moved to his right hand against the wooden door, for fear of angering the beast in front of him.
Damn, I'll just try them one by one!
One step, two steps, Draenor cautiously walked towards the nearest wooden box to him, the thing was less than twenty meters in front of him, but for the first time he felt that twenty meters was so far away.
Less than five minutes later, the cheers in his ears had gradually turned into cheers, and Draenor only hoped that the beast would open its mouth and bask in the sun for a while like a normal crocodile.
At last he leaned against the iron pillar, stood on tiptoe, turned his back, and lifted the lid of the box with his hands, but there was no trace of the key in the box except for a few disgusting scorpions.
"I knew it! Garke, you wait for me! ”
Just as he cursed, he felt a tremor under his feet, and when he looked sideways, the giant crocodile was rushing towards him as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
Without the slightest hesitation, Draenor struggled to straighten up and roll to the side, and the moment he got up again, the iron pillar behind him and the wooden box on it had been completely crushed to pieces by the giant crocodile.
It was obvious that his actions had angered the crocodile, but Draenor knew the exact location of the key, and he dragged the chain between his feet towards the wooden box in the distance.
"That's enough, if it weren't for all this broken iron......" Draenor couldn't laugh at his movements, his feet could barely keep up with the rhythm of his body with a ten-kilogram chain, and he had to twist his shoulders to keep his balance, in case falling to the ground would mean death!
He could hear the commotion coming from behind him, and he didn't expect that the kung fu giant crocodile would have chased after him at this moment, and he heard that the huge creatures would move relatively slowly, but this logic didn't seem to apply to the terrifying reptile at all!
Just when Draenor was only one step away from the wooden box, the giant crocodile suddenly opened its huge mouth and pounced forward, and the moment the jaws were closed, a sandstorm erupted on the ground, and the smoke cleared, only the hill-like body was left in the Colosseum, and Draenor's figure disappeared into the arena.
The crowd cheered, and with a satisfied smile on the king's face, he once again stood up and shouted to the crowd, "This time it was the sand crocodile who won the race!" That outlander is dead! ”
Garke sighed and took his feather hat off his head, "Mr. Chad...... Is it already over......"
"Oh, don't jump to conclusions, Commander." Kasler sneered, stretched out his finger at the giant crocodile and said, "Have you ever seen it open its mouth again?" ”
The Commander reacted suddenly, as long as the crocodile bit its prey, it would continue to bite and tear the other person to pieces, and Draenor was obviously swallowed by the giant crocodile, but never saw the thing open its mouth again.
He quickly turned his head and stared at the kiss of the giant crocodile, his teeth were indeed tightly together, but he could clearly see a bulge on the upper side of the crocodile's jaw, and when he looked closely, he found that it was actually a sharp short sword!
"Hey, open your mouth, you're trying to open your mouth!"
A dull sound came from the crocodile's mouth, and the short sword slowly turned around the crocodile's wound, the sharp pain tormented the nerves of the giant crocodile, and it closed its mouth tightly, and its head swayed wildly against the ground.
The crowd fell silent, and the king turned to look at the empty chest, and at some point Draenor had taken the key.
The moment the dagger was withdrawn, the crocodile opened its jaws in pain, and Draenor took the opportunity to get up and leap out of the scarlet mouth.
The saliva-wrapped body was covered with a layer of sand, and at this time, Draenor's limbs had regained their freedom, and he looked at the giant crocodile struggling in front of him and sneered.
"It's a shame, I'm always one step faster."
He moved his arms and put the dagger back into its sheath, "I've heard that crocodiles do have a strong bite, but they don't have the strength to open their mouths as well as an adult, and now it seems to prove it." ”
In fact, Draenor deliberately avoided the sharp teeth and jumped into the huge mouth, and as the crocodile closed its mouth, he immediately used the key to untie the shackles of his hands, pulled out the short sword and pierced the crocodile's palate horizontally, pressing the hilt like a lever to make it difficult for the crocodile to open its jaws.
The scene of resurrection made the nobles in the audience silent for a moment, and then burst into even more enthusiastic cheers than before.
The crocodile struggled to its feet, its giant tail sweeping across the ground, ready to strike at its prey once more. But this time, Draenor didn't choose to face him head-on, but turned around and ran towards the wall without looking back.
"What kind of tricks is this guy doing?" The king looked at the strangers running through the Colosseum, and couldn't help but mutter.
The series of actions completely enraged the crocodile, and it twitched its body like a beast-driven killing machine and rushed towards Draenor, and the moment it opened its mouth, Draenor turned and rolled to the side, taking advantage of the crocodile's time to turn back, getting up and crossing an arc in the air.
At that scene, Garke could clearly see that Draenor was not blindly dodging, but tightly wrapped the crocodile's jaws with the chains that had been tied to his feet.
"Click!"
Draenor re-tied the shackles, turned and tossed the key aside, and walked towards the crocodile beside him. The giant crocodile with its jaws bound turned its eyes to the approaching figure, and as a carnivore, it felt the threat of being slaughtered.
Draenor turned and jumped onto the crocodile's neck, drew his dagger in his left hand, and lit the sword groove with the help of a torch on the wall. The blade entwined in flames slashed through the air with a chain of fire, and the crocodile's head burst with scarlet blood, and its limbs gradually lost their strength and collapsed to the ground.
"I'll admit, there was a moment when I almost saw life go by......"
Facing the cheers from all sides, Draenor straightened up to wipe the dust from his chest, put away his dagger, and looked back at the huge corpse.
"But a crocodile that can't open its mouth is like a gun without bullets, and it doesn't threaten at all."
