Chapter 25 Collecting Crocodiles and Collecting Blood
The swampy oasis seemed to have just been ravaged by a storm, littered with fallen banyan trees and scattered foliage, half of the canopy that shaded the sky had collapsed, and the sun shone through the gaps in the gloomy woodland.
The swamp lizard crocodile that had made the devastation had not recovered from its fury yet, and its bloodshot eyes were glazed out, and its tail flicked hard against a crumbling banyan tree, and the poor tree finally fell under the blow again.
And Han Fei, who was standing on the branch, had already jumped onto another intact banyan tree, and casually swung a golden Douqi sword downward, accurately hitting the swamp lizard crocodile's back, breaking through the scale armor and leaving a shallow scar.
On the back of the swamp lizard crocodile, there were at least a dozen similar scars, and some of the wounds also oozing blood beads, Han Fei's intermediate gold fighting technique pierced through the armor, like a whip with thorns and water, and it was slammed on **, and the severe pain made it twitch involuntarily.
With his clever light power status and the special environment of the swamp oasis, Han Fei had the absolute upper hand in the battle against the swamp lizard. Although the swamp lizard crocodile moved quickly and had amazing strength, and could knock down a large tree with a single tail flick, it lacked long-range attack methods, and could not grow wings and fly up trees to chase Han Fei, so it only ended up being played by Han Fei.
The defense of the swamp lizard crocodile is quite strong, which is also the common surname of the earth-based spirit beasts, if Han Fei uses the basic fighting technique to attack, he can't even break through its scale armor defense, and the intermediate fighting skill can only barely have some effect if it is the sharpest armor piercing slash.
This is exactly what Han Fei wants, he has the ability but definitely doesn't want to kill the swamp lizard crocodile, because then he can't collect the appropriate blood from the lizard crocodile - once the spirit beast dies, the spiritual power contained in the blood will be lost immediately, so it is necessary to use [***] to collect blood, and it is far more difficult to capture a spirit beast alive than to kill it, so the blood of the spirit beast that etched the spirit pattern will be so expensive.
While fighting with the swamp lizard crocodile, while constantly maintaining the swamp lizard's furious attack state with armor penetration, Han Fei patiently consumed the swamp lizard's strength, such a large banyan forest was enough for it to toss to exhaustion.
From the current point of view, Han Fei's strategy is quite successful, after half an hour, the strength of the swamp lizard crocodile is not as good as before, at least it can't do it with one tail to knock down a big tree.
The swamp lizard crocodile let out an ugly scream, and its entire body began to tremble, and it stared at Han Fei on the tree viciously, with a bit of helplessness in its eyes.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Han Fei would have found it hard to believe that such a humanoid look would appear in the eyes of a beast, but he secretly screamed in his heart.
Although the armor-piercing slash just now also left a scar on the swamp lizard's body, it did not make the swamp lizard crocodile go berserk like before, and it seemed that it had the idea of retreating.
The spirit beast was indeed a spirit beast, and the word "spirit" clearly distinguished it from ordinary beasts, and the swamp lizard crocodile, after suffering continuous losses, stopped attacking in vain, and turned around and crawled towards the outside of the oasis, obviously about to give up the territory he had firmly held.
Want to run? It's not that easy! Han Fei jumped down from the banyan tree, grabbed the long sword in both hands and swung it at the swamp lizard crocodile that had already climbed more than ten meters away!
With a flash of cold light, a pale blue blade flew out of the sword, whistling towards the lizard crocodile that was quickly fleeing.
When this half-moon-shaped sword ray, which was about one meter long, first broke away from the sword body, the speed of its flight was not fast, but after flying only a few meters away, a new, slightly smaller sword light broke away from the qi blade, and flew forward at an accelerated speed.
In this way, one after another, a ** sword ray came out one after another, and the speed became faster and faster, and when the first air blade hit the swamp lizard crocodile, it was actually followed by seven or eight air blade sword rays!
Advanced water fighting skills, using this fighting skill to generate the air blade can maintain a steady stream of attacks on the enemy, although the power is not very strong, but in many cases can play a big role, but also one of the most practical fighting skills in the water system.
With one hit, the swamp lizard crocodile was immediately cut with a bloody wound by the air blade, and the follow-up attacks came one after another, and the powerful momentum hit it so much that it rolled on the ground several times, hissing in pain.
Without waiting for the swamp lizard crocodile to get up again, Han Fei took a step forward and let out a green hazy fighting aura.
The Dou Qi Mass flew extremely fast, and as soon as it touched the swamp lizard crocodile, it immediately burst into countless thumb-thick beams, turning into a huge and extremely tough Dou Qi vine net, which enveloped it deadly.
Qi Vine Entanglement! Wood Advanced Fighting Technique is also one of Han Fei's best moves.
The swamp lizard crocodile was already a serious drain on its strength, otherwise it would not easily abandon its territory and the enemy it hated to the bone and escape, and although it struggled desperately after being bound by the qi vine, it couldn't break free.
Han Fei was waiting for such an opportunity, and a flying man rushed forward to the side of the swamp lizard crocodile, he quickly put away his samurai sword, and swiped his right hand on the back of his left hand, and a thick black wooden stick appeared in his grasp.
This one-meter-long wooden stick, the thickness of a brute's arm, was bought by Han Fei from the Adventurer's Guild at a high price, and was concocted from the finest iron birch wood immersed in a special medicinal solution, which could withstand a certain amount of vindictive infusion.
And its role is to deal with spirit beasts like swamp lizards and crocodiles.
With a stick in his hand, Han Fei smashed a stick on the swamp lizard crocodile's head, although it didn't instill a fighting spirit, it was enough to knock the swamp lizard crocodile to the point that its limbs twitched!
One stick was obviously not enough, so another stick was struck, and the poor swamp lizard crocodile finally fell unconscious with his head tilted.
Han Fei smiled, although it was the first time he had captured a spirit beast alive, the process and the result were undoubtedly satisfactory.
At the same time as the swamp lizard crocodile was unconscious, the vindictive vine net bound to its body broke and collapsed inch by inch, and Han Fei took out a bundle of ropes made of animal skins and animal tendons from the Acceptance Ring, and it took a lot of effort to tie the swamp lizard crocodile's belly to the sky and a large banyan tree that fell to the ground.
Everything is ready, and the time has come for the final move.
The tool for collecting blood was a dark gold metal cylinder, which Han Fei had purchased from the Adventurer's Guild like the other utensils, and he also gave away the tools and several methods of collecting the blood of spirit beasts, which were expensive but worth the money.
The metal cylinder is very similar to the syringe used by Han Fei's hospital in his previous life, with a needle-shaped round tube in front of a thick circle, but there is no piston, and the cylinder is filled with a tampon made of white cotton fruit.
Don't look at this metal cylinder as inconspicuous, in fact, there is a spiritual array engraved on the wall of the cylinder, which can play a special role.
The best place to collect blood is the heart, the heart of the swamp lizard crocodile is below its neck near the abdomen, and its exposed white belly is not protected by scales, only a layer of tough crocodile skin, which beats with the heart.
Han Fei lifted the blood collection cartridge and stabbed it through its heart without hesitation, and the swamp lizard crocodile immediately woke up in pain and began to struggle, but because Han Fei was tied extremely tightly beforehand, it was in vain to struggle again.
The crimson blood slowly flowed out of the tail of the tube, filtered through the tampon, and flowed drop by drop into the crystal bottle that Han Fei had prepared in advance.
Although the swamp lizard crocodile is large, not all blood can be used, the special function of this blood collection cartridge is to be able to absorb the most essence of its blood, containing the most spiritual power, and the heart, as a place where blood circulation gathers, is naturally the most ideal collection point.
It took almost five minutes for a crystal bottle the size of a baby's fist to fill up, and Han Fei plugged the bottle and replaced it with a new one, collecting two bottles in a row before stopping.
In fact, according to the supporting information provided by the Adventurers' Guild, an adult swamp lizard crocodile can collect about two and a half bottles of essence blood at most, but collecting all of them will kill it.
It's not that Han Fei is soft-hearted, the number of swamp lizards and crocodiles is scarce, and because the spiritual power is condensed in the blood, there are generally no spirit crystals in the body, and there are no more benefits if you kill them.
Keeping it alive is also keeping a seed, maybe when Han Fei comes back next time, he can find it and collect it again, so it is not wise to kill chickens and eggs in order to covet half a bottle now, in fact, the information of the adventurer's union also suggests this.
After pulling out the needle, Han Fei also deliberately smeared some ointment to stop bleeding on its wound, the vitality of the swamp lizard crocodile is very strong, such an injury will not kill it, but a major injury to its vitality is definitely inevitable.
Untying the rope, the swamp lizard crocodile completely lost its previous ferocity, and turned over with difficulty and slowly crawled towards the swamp pool.
Looking at its slowly disappearing figure, Han Fei's heart couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion, where the law of the jungle is the unchangeable, if you don't want to be slaughtered by others, then you can only become stronger, so strong that anyone has to look up to it!
