Chapter 35: Planning the Snapping Turtle
The undetectable physical strength attribute of the mountain crocodile is not to mention for the time being, just the skill of up to seven can reflect the strength of the opponent.
Even if this snapping turtle is not as good as the Kunpeng giant bird he encountered before, the gap in combat power is estimated to not be too big, at least in terms of hard power, it can completely crush the current Xu Yue.
His gaze swept over the specific data projected on the Eye of Manifestation again, Xu Yue's eyes sank slightly, if he fought hard, he would definitely not be the opponent of this snapping turtle, and even the opponent's defense would be extremely difficult to break.
If he wants to hunt this lord-level creature, he must adopt some effective and roundabout means to strike accurately from the opponent's weakness in order to have a chance of success.
Thinking of this, Xu Yue withdrew the Manifestation Eye from his pocket, and his gaze towards the center of the lake became extremely deep.
At the first sight of the mountain snapping turtle, he had the idea of hunting the other party, and now after seeing the strong strength of the other party, this idea not only did not flinch, but became stronger.
This snapping turtle's abilities are extremely adaptable, and it is the best option for the soul, and if it can be successfully hunted, the tower shield will gain a large ability increase with the blessing of the soul melt.
And in addition to the artifact soul income, there are also fire income and unique treasure chests that belong to lord-level creatures, and he has to try it anyway because of these triple rewards.
After all, no matter how strong the attributes of the mountain snapping turtle are, it is just a beast after all, and the wild instinct driven by desire is the biggest weakness of the other party.
Secondly, it is the huge size of the snapping turtle, everything in the world has two sides, and if you have something, you must lose it, and you have two sides of one, which is the unchanging criterion.
While the huge size brings strong strength, it will also infinitely magnify his own weaknesses, recalling the black python that was directly roasted by him from his body with pure yang flame before, Xu Yue's eyes flashed.
A tiny virus can kill humans countless times larger than it because the virus destroys from a soft and fragile interior.
And when dealing with this snapping turtle, whose external defenses are almost invulnerable, perhaps he can also win by attacking from the inside.
The initial tone of the battle plan is set, but it is not so simple to really implement it, and many details and preparations need to be perfected, and you can't rush it, it's true that the snapping turtle is a beast, but it's not stupid, and it won't be so easy to hit.
Retracting his gaze towards the center of the lake, Xu Yue put the observation glasses on the bridge of his nose back into his pocket, and beckoned to Ah Fu beside him:
"Let's go, let's go back up the big turtle."
With that, the two of them jumped down from the canopy of the tree and hurried towards the depths of the woods.
……………
A few hours later, the golden wuxi fell, and the sky was sinking.
At this time, the long night is approaching, there is only a trace of afterglow on the horizon, the crimson sunset is spread on the surface of the microwave rippling lake, sparkling and swaying, it looks extraordinarily peaceful and beautiful.
And the traces of the bloody battle not long ago have completely disappeared under the washing of the water waves, and no trace can be found anymore.
In the dense forest not far from the lake, I saw the forest sea churning, the fallen trees and the small trees, and a large emerald green bird with a large body appeared from the canopy of the tree, and flew straight in the direction of the lake.
This is one of the most common species of birds at the edge of water sources such as rivers and lakes – the common kingfisher of the kingfisher family, also known as 'fishing lang' or 'Diao Yu lang', which has bright plumage, is agile, extremely fast, and has a skillful fishing skill.
It's just that compared to the small size of a normal kingfisher, this is undoubtedly a giant version that has been transformed by the mysterious factor.
After flying out of the canopy, the kingfisher's brilliant wings flapped only a few times before it deftly leaped over the lake, hovering over the center of the lake, its dark eyes staring at the lake, as if searching for underwater prey, ready to dive for hunt.
However, it was not long before the slaughter of the afternoon, so the creatures in the lake were noticeably deserted, and after a few rounds the kingfisher had never seen a suitable fish beneath the surface.
However, there were fine bubbles coming out of the corner far from the center of the lake, and a white water snake noticed the movement in the sky, and it quietly surfaced on the surface of the lake, but a pair of cold snake eyes quickly turned into fear after seeing the specific location of the kingfisher, and then quietly dived back to the bottom of the lake.
The kingfisher in mid-air circled for a few breaths, the bird's eyes suddenly froze, it found a thick pink flesh worm under the surface of the lake, without the slightest hesitation, the kingfisher immediately adjusted its body, its wings flapped rapidly, it turned into a beam of green lightning and swooped down, the sharp beak pointed directly at the underwater flesh worm.
But just as he was about to approach the water, the deep darkness behind the flesh worm also poured into view, and the swooping lightning instantly stopped, and the kingfisher hovered violently above the lake, and the strong wind and waves brought out by the sudden braking set off layers of ripples on the lake.
In the next moment, the fluctuating lake suddenly exploded, and in the turbulent splash, the fierce giant head of the snapping turtle rushed out of the water, swallowing the kingfisher whole before it could react at a speed comparable to that of a kingfisher swooping.
Then the head retracted into the water, the violent splash on the surface of the lake fell, and the ripples that spread slowly calmed down, and the lake surface returned to a silent atmosphere, waiting for the next prey to appear.
In the distance, Ah Fu's slightly nervous expression became calm after seeing the snapping turtle successfully swallow the kingfisher, he sat down against the trunk of the tree on one side, took out the close-knit magic mirror from his arms and put it in front of him, and waited quietly.
If something can't be done, the lord will teleport out of the snapping turtle's body through the magic mirror, which is the last insurance.
In the center of the lake, after the snapping turtle successfully preyed on its prey, it retracted its head, and as the mouth continued to chew, a thick blood mist overflowed from the edge of the mouth one after another, mixing in the surrounding lake water, setting off the already vicious head even more hideous.
Having had a full meal a few hours ago, the hunger pangs were constant in this lake as long as the alienation continued, even for the snapping turtle as a lord-level creature.
The snapping turtle, which was eating to its heart's content, did not realize that among the flesh of the kingfisher it was chewing and devouring, there was also an oval-shaped metal shuttle, which had now slipped into the esophagus and was heading towards the stomach pouch.
The snapping turtle did not notice the sudden extra foreign body in its body, after all, with its huge size of tens of meters, the metal shuttle of less than two meters is really insignificant, and with the terrifying stomach acid in its stomach, corrosive metal is also not a problem, whether it is flesh and blood, poison metal, or something else, as long as it enters the intestines, there are few things that it cannot digest.
After swallowing the tender flesh in its mouth, the snapping turtle restrained the terrifying breath of its whole body, and opened its huge mouth again, revealing the pink flesh worm on the tip of its tongue in the lake water, waiting for the prey to take the initiative to come to the door.
With its not too high agility stat, this hunting method of waiting for rabbits is the most commonly used method, and as for the whale swallowing vortex that previously spread throughout the lake, it is only used when necessary.
At this time, a metal round shuttle with many scratches on the surface of the stomach pouch had slipped out of the cardia connected to the esophagus and fell to the lower end of the stomach, splashing a large piece of yellow gastric juice.
After a while, the gastric juice refluxed, tightly wrapped the round shuttle, and the wisps of smoke were corroded, and there were faint traces of corrosion on the body surface of the round shuttle, but it would obviously take a lot of time to completely dissolve it.
After a while, the golden-red flame lines continued to spread on the shuttle, and the blazing fire power rose and spread, and the gastric juice wrapped around the shuttle bubbled and gradually began to evaporate under the action of the fire.
By the time the shuttle had turned golden red in almost its entirety, the temperature in the stomach pouch had risen to an exaggerated level, and the gastric juice inside had disappeared.
As the gastric juice disappeared, as if to confirm that the outside world was temporarily safe, the shuttle body unfolded from the top, revealing a silver figure all over the body.
At the same time, the mountain snapping turtles outside are breaking through the surface of the lake and raising their heads and roaring.
As it roared, a large amount of yellow smoke evaporated from the turtle's mouth began to gush out, and it felt as if a fireball had appeared in its body, and the burning sensation was constantly coming from its stomach.
