Chapter 34: Fierce Battle
"Sure enough, experience is the most important thing. Liu Li said silently in his mouth, but his hand did not stop, "Yanhui" stabbed out, and directly nailed a black snake with a length of nearly two meters to the rotten trees in the swamp. It's been a few days since he went deep into the swamp, and Liu Li hasn't had a very good time these days. Even though he got a lot of information about the swamp from the conversation with the veteran stationed at the Iron Wall Outpost, and learned some knowledge about surviving in the swamp, and even made sufficient preparations before leaving, his lack of experience still caused him to be a little negligent in some aspects that were not easy to notice.
"It seems that Mr. Landau asked me to come here not just for the so-called 'mission'. In fact, Liu Li had a feeling from the time he first arrived at the Iron Wall Outpost that in this environment rich in black elements, although it was easier to cast black spells, in terms of control, it was far less handy than when he was in the academy. The black elements that permeate the surroundings are as lively and active as naughty children, and it is naturally more difficult to control. So much so that these days, Liu Li has completely given up his original plan to go directly into the swamp to Sin City, you know, this mission can only rely on himself, and no companion can help.
However, thanks to the environment in which the black elements are rich in the swamp, after a few days of practice in the casting of the black hole spell, Liu Li also seems to be more mellow in the control of this spell. And the greater improvement is in martial arts. Since completing the cultivation of the beginner martial arts, although he has often practiced with Kuhn, it is undeniable that Liu Li has never fought a real battle with a weapon. There are very few magical beasts on the periphery of the swamp, at least Liu Li has not encountered them these days, and the beasts that often appear are the best practice objects. For example, the black snake that had just been nailed to death by Liu Li on the tree, when it was lurking, even Liu Li, who had entered the state of "omniscience", did not notice it at all, and the speed of its sudden attack was like a crossbow arrow that shot rapidly. If it weren't for Liu Li's conversation with the veterans, he knew that there were often such black snakes on the periphery of the swamp, and he might have been careless.
Summer may have passed, but the change of seasons seems to have forgotten the swamp, which feels hot and humid in the morning and evening. "That's not right!" Liu Li suddenly noticed that there was something strange about the environment he was in, and the never-ending insect chirping began to disappear without a trace at some point. The state of "omniscience" has been expanded to the extreme, and the strengthening of the physique has brought Liu Li a sharper perception of a comprehensive explosion. The slightest ripple on the surface of the swamp, the sound of the breeze blowing through the dead leaves, and even the slight disturbance of the black elements all formed a complete picture in Liu Li's mind, and the disharmony gradually came to the fore. The dead wood floating on the water not far away approaching Liu Li was the source of the uneasiness in Liu Li's heart.
"Is this luck good or bad...... Sensing the source of the threat, Liu Li couldn't help but laugh at himself. The extremely rare magical beast on the periphery of the swamp was actually encountered by him today. For the mercenaries who are active in the Iron Wall Sentry, the swamp crocodile is a existence that people love and hate. This is the only magical beast that occasionally appears in the outer areas of the swamp, and is also the presence at the top of the food chain on the outer part of the swamp. With a length of three to four meters and extremely strong strength, many incapable mercenary teams have changed their faces, and what is even more terrifying is the innate magic possessed by a magical beast, which further increases its danger level. However, the swamp crocodile is also one of the most precious creatures on the outskirts of the swamp, and can successfully hunt a swamp crocodile, and even allow each member of a mercenary team of more than ten people to live a good life for a few years.
As if knowing that he had been exposed, the swamp crocodile did not continue to sneak close to Liu Li, but pounced violently, and the speed of the explosion shocked Liu Li's heart, just in an instant, the huge mouth full of sharp teeth was already close at hand. Not daring to hesitate at all, Liu Li hurriedly turned around and flashed to the side at the same time, and the "Yanhui" in his hand also danced extremely fast, blocking at his side. Unfortunately, the ground in the swamp was slippery, and this dodge did not reach the distance Liu Li expected, and there was no way to completely dodge the attack from the side and rear, and the right arm was cut by the sharp teeth of the swamp crocodile.
Don't care about dealing with the wound on the arm, what doesn't match the huge size is the sensitive reaction of the swamp crocodile, just pounced and passed by Liu Li, it flicked violently after landing, and the long tail flicked at Liu Li, and Liu Li, who was unstable due to the terrain, suddenly fell into a crisis.
Fortunately, after a few days of adapting to the swamp environment, the black hole spell became more and more proficient, and in a critical moment, a black elemental ball suddenly appeared, directly swallowing Liu Li into it, and it was already a few meters away when it reappeared, and this time the crisis was finally temporarily solved.
Seeing the food in its mouth disappear, the swamp crocodile that had just tasted the taste of blood was furious, but it didn't pounce again, maybe it also knew that this time the food was not so easy to eat in its mouth.
"It seems that the adaptation to the environment is still not enough, and the plan to go deep into the swamp may have to be delayed for a few more days. Liu Li, who was annoyed in his heart, was not distracted in the slightest, and the position he was not aware of just now had already caused him to experience a fatal crisis, and he didn't want to experience death again because of his carelessness.
The black elements gradually converged with the incantation sound that had not stopped in Liu Li's mouth, forming one black hole after another around him, and the azure arc was constantly shuttling in the black hole, which was the figure of "flash", and "Mang" had already merged into his body at the moment when Liu Li escaped from the giant mouth just now.
Compared to Liu Li, the swamp crocodile who was obviously at the top of the food chain was even more impatient, although he knew that the human in front of him was waiting for him at the moment, he still couldn't suppress his desire for fresh flesh and blood, and pounced on Liu Li, and the speed of this explosion was even more rapid than the previous sneak attack.
In the face of the sudden attack of the swamp crocodile, Liu Li did not retreat but advanced, and the "Yanhui" in his hand stabbed out, aiming directly at the right eye of the swamp crocodile. Seeing the spear that came from the surprise attack, the swamp crocodile also knew that it was not easy to bear to hit it directly in the face of such a sharp weapon, so he swung his head and bit Liu Li's arm holding the gun. Fresh blood was still oozing from the wounds that had just been cut by its teeth, and the sweet smell was constantly stimulating its nerves.
Liu Li had already prepared for the reaction of the swamp crocodile, and the move in his hand changed, "Yanhui" changed from a thorn to a pump, and even used the "heavy" strength in the beginner martial arts to throw it straight towards the swamp crocodile's open blood basin mouth. The black hole suspended next to him also moved as he pleased, smashing at the swamp crocodile, enveloping it. And the "flash" shuttling through the black hole also released a powerful electric current, which slashed at the huge body of the swamp crocodile.
The black hole, a spell created by Ex, was originally invented as a teleportation spell to make it easier to access some small objects in life, and it already has a trace of spatial characteristics, and at this time, Liu Li's idea of using this characteristic to restrict the movement of the swamp crocodile is not wrong, but it is also a little miscalculated. The formation of this swamp was originally caused by the confrontation between two high-level mages, and most of these dangerous creatures in the swamp were also mutated because of the enrichment of the black element, and their resistance to the black *** method was several times higher than that of creatures of the same level. I saw that under the struggling of the swamp crocodile, the elemental ball that had already shrouded it and restricted its movement suddenly collapsed, although Liu Li's volley still hit the giant mouth of the swamp crocodile, so it was completely unrealistic, even if it used the power of martial arts, it only flew back, and did not cause substantial damage.
Liu Li didn't dare to delay in the slightest, looking at the black elements around the swamp crocodile that had not completely dissipated, his heart moved, and two black holes were generated at the same time, one was in front of Liu Li, and the other appeared near the head of the swamp crocodile.
"Since I can't trap you, then I can always come by myself. Liu Li said secretly in his heart, his hand did not stop, and "Yanhui" pierced directly into the black hole in front of him. The spear that had been submerged in the black hole crossed the barrier of space, flashed out of the black hole near the head of the swamp crocodile, and with the force of "penetration", it sank into its eye socket. The blow stabbed by the power of martial arts pierced through the black hole, and at the same time, it also made Liu Li's mind tingle. The scene of Kuhn directly using his martial arts to shatter Landolia's spell is still vivid, and this whimsical attack can be used in one fell swoop, thanks to the intensity of the black element in the swamp. However, even if Liu Li gradually adapted to the environment where the black elements were enriched in the swamp, the control of the elements was not what it used to be, but he could no longer continue to maintain the existence of the black hole. The spear, which had been with him for more than half a year, was finally completely destroyed in this battle.
The wounded swamp crocodile roared in anger, completely aroused by the pain, and black magic patterns appeared on its body. Liu Li had already prepared for this, and at the moment when "Yanhui" broke, he had already taken out the "Return" from the space bracelet, with the staff in his hand, and the degree of control over the black element also improved again. How could Liu Li, who had always been in a state of "omniscience", not notice such an obvious flow of elements, and jumped into the black hole that had already unfolded in front of him. At the moment when Liu Li just made a move, the ground of the swamp squirmed, centered on the position where Liu Li was standing before, and the thorns formed by the black elements within a radius of five meters stabbed out from the swamp, if Liu Li didn't move fast enough, he would not only be penetrated by the thorns, but even be restrained in place.
Liu Li, who flashed out of the black hole, appeared directly beside the swamp crocodile, and grabbed the moment when it had just cast a talent spell and had not yet come back to its senses, the "flash rush" that had already been prepared was hidden and did not appear, surrounding the "return", and the "return" at the same time slammed into its brain from the other eye of the swamp crocodile with the force of "penetration". This blow had been used once when he was training with Wells, and that "Flash: Penetration" even directly shattered the electric wall formed by Wells's fifth-order spiritual power, and it can be imagined how powerful its penetrating power was. Coupled with the "death" pierced into the skull of the swamp crocodile, the "flash rush" that had been hidden before suddenly exploded. Even though the vitality of the swamp crocodile is extremely strong, there is no way to resist the magic attack that erupts in its own body, plus the blow of "Tho" received before, it finally couldn't bear it, and fell weakly in front of Liu Li, losing his life.
The whole battle process is troublesome to say, but in fact, less than a minute has passed. However, in this short minute, the intensity of the battle far exceeded Liu Li's expectations, not only the mental and physical consumption was huge, but even the weapons that had accompanied him for more than half a year were also destroyed due to this battle.
"Alas, the familiarity with the environment is still insufficient, and it seems that I will have to familiarize myself with it for a few more days on the periphery. Liu Li sighed lightly, picked up his own loot, and walked towards the iron wall sentry. Thanks to the huge strength brought by his strong physique, at least this harvest, Liu Li is still quite satisfied.
