Chapter 106: A Desperate Shot
At this time, the scarlet eyes of the dragon scale crocodile were full of violence, its original ferocious gaze had completely disappeared, and the monstrous resentment lingered and accumulated around its body, like substance, as if it was disturbing Ding Zhengyi's mind as if it were nothing.
At the same time, the dragon scale crocodile's originally somewhat sluggish spiritual pressure began to climb rapidly, reaching its peak in an instant, and then not only did it not pause at all, but it continued to increase.
Berserk is a forbidden secret art that increases its strength by overdrawing vitality, and it is said that if you ignore the extreme consumption of life force, you can burst out with up to three times your original power in an instant, so it is likely to turn the tide of battle and turn defeat into victory.
Ding Zhengyi had heard of this for a long time, but he just didn't have a chance to see it.
This is not only because the Berserk Technique is a secret art, which is generally hidden deep within the sect and is difficult for ordinary monks to reach, but also because the sequelae of its cultivation are too great to make normal monks stay away and be afraid.
The vitality consumed by using the Berserk Technique is already contrary to the purpose of the monk's immortality, but compared to its other flaw, it is more acceptable.
That is, when performing berserk spells, the powerful power brought by overdrawing life will directly oppress the mind of the caster, and the weak-willed monk can easily lose himself in the process, so that he becomes a mindless killing machine, and eventually dies of exhaustion in madness.
It is precisely because of the existence of this fatal flaw that although the berserk technique is extremely powerful, it is almost unpopular in the cultivation world.
And this performance of the dragon scale crocodile in front of him is undoubtedly his last struggle before death, and there is no reason at all.
Therefore, Ding Zhengyi did not take the opportunity to attack with luck, the dragon scale crocodile in a normal state was already extremely difficult to deal with, what kind of level would it reach after the rage, he didn't want to know, and he didn't dare to try it easily.
Moreover, as long as it is delayed, Ding Zhengyi can completely consume the vitality of the dragon scale crocodile, and this kind of low-hanging fruit victory does not require him to waste too much other means and energy.
However, at this time, Ding Zhengyi could not immediately avoid its edge, and still needed to stay where he was and continue to attract the attention of the dragon scale crocodile.
Otherwise, the dragon scale crocodile that has lost its mind, it will attack all the creatures around it, and if there is no conspicuous target of Ding Zhengyi, it is very likely to pounce on Ding Zhengfeng and the other four.
From looking up at the dragon scale crocodile to having a plan in his heart, it only took Ding Zhengyi a short moment, and then he looked around, and at the same time began to adjust his body and prepare for action.
It wasn't until the momentum of the dragon scale crocodile reached its peak that it seemed that it could no longer be improved, that Ding Zhengyi slapped a light talisman on himself, raised his legs and ran in the opposite direction of the boulder where Ding Zhengfeng and the others had landed.
In Ding Zhengyi's opinion, the boulder, which is only more than three zhang high, may be able to barely wrestle with the dragon scale crocodile in a normal state, but it will definitely not be able to resist it after the rage.
Rather than bringing the danger over and increasing casualties, it is better to contain it alone, without worries, and it will be more convenient for him to act.
Of course, Ding Zhengyi did this, not to say that he wanted to sacrifice himself for others, but when he checked the surrounding situation just now, he found that there happened to be a crack on the other side of the mountain that was dozens of feet up and down, and it was obviously a better place to shelter.
As soon as he ran out less than ten zhang away, Ding Zhengyi sensed that the dragon scale crocodile was following closely, and its huge spiritual pressure was rapidly approaching, and after preliminary calculations, its speed was definitely more than doubled.
This also dispelled Ding Zhengyi's lure plan, originally for the sake of insurance, he was also going to stop ten zhang away and tease the dragon scale crocodile to ensure that it did not attack the people on the other side first.
Without this concern, Ding Zhengyi became more calm, and while his steps did not stop, he was also planning for future actions.
There is still a distance of more than 30 zhang from the mountain crack, and according to the current disparity in speed between the two sides, Ding Zhengyi obviously cannot arrive smoothly before the contact, so the fight is completely inevitable.
However, in any case, he must not be bitten head-on by the dragon scale crocodile, otherwise he will be affected by this, and once he stops moving forward, the situation will be difficult to control.
Therefore, Ding Zhengyi tightened his mind, carefully distinguishing the faint wind behind him, as well as the fishy smell, so as to respond to all changes and be ready for different responses at any time.
Continuing to move forward for more than ten zhang, Ding Zhengyi could already clearly feel the scorching breath behind him, and at this critical moment, he relied on his keen intuition to instantly avoid the bite of the dragon scale crocodile's bloody mouth.
Then Ding Zhengyi adjusted his body, tried to control his balance, and took advantage of the opportunity of his back being hit by the dragon scale crocodile's head, and suddenly accelerated his forward speed.
However, such an impact also made Ding Zhengyi feel severe pain all over his body, and his blood and qi surged, and the injuries he had suppressed before began to be a little impatient.
After running for more than ten zhang again, Ding Zhengyi was only a few zhang away from the crack, but at this moment, the vigorous movement made his injury suddenly erupt, he paused slightly, and then couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of bruises.
The roof leak rained overnight, and the dragon scale crocodile, whose speed had decreased due to the attack, chased after Ding Zhengyi at this time, and a large amount of fishy smell gushing from his mouth almost completely surrounded him.
At this critical moment, Ding Zhengyi tried his best to stabilize his mind, at this time, his state is obviously unrealistic to compare his speed with the dragon scale crocodile, so he can only make dangerous moves and fight hard.
Gritting his teeth, Ding Zhengyi seized the fleeting opportunity, did not advance but retreated, he desperately adjusted his body, and took the initiative to crash into the dragon scale crocodile that swooped down from behind.
With the help of the powerful impact of the dragon scale crocodile, Ding Zhengyi was like a meteor crossing the sky, several times faster than the running speed just now, and flew directly into the crack in the mountain in front of him.
This crack is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, no more than seven or eight zhang deep, Ding Zhengyi was directly pushed to the innermost by that huge force, at this time, his whole body seemed to fall apart, the pain was incomparable, with his extremely tenacious perseverance, he couldn't help but moan several times.
The work of the front and rear feet, the dragon scale crocodile also followed closely behind Ding Zhengyi, and rushed into the crack regardless of it, although the berserk technique greatly increased its strength, but it also made it lose its original reason.
Following the traces revealed by Ding Zhengyi, the huge body of the dragon scale crocodile kept squeezing forward, and its scale armor and mountain wall made a piercing sound of "click, click", which kept echoing in this small space.
In the end, the dragon scale crocodile was stuck in the crack and could no longer move, and its sharp teeth were not yet a foot away from Ding Zhengyi, and then the disgusting fishy smell in its mouth, mixed with strong dry heat, gushed out, and once again filled the entire narrow space.
Ding Zhengyi, who was seriously injured in the impact and looked a little confused, had not completely recovered from the sound waves, and then he was in such a bad environment, which was really miserable.
The long-lost feeling of dizziness resurfaced, almost making Ding Zhengyi uncontrollable, but the pain all over his body still reminded him how to deal with himself.
Now that he is finally out of danger, it is urgent to suppress the pain in his body, after all, the longer the injury drags on, the more difficult it is to heal, and this truth is well known in the cultivation world.
Without too much delay, Ding Zhengyi endured all kinds of discomfort, and he immediately mobilized his divine sense to look inward to explore the source of the severe pain.
It was only at this time that Ding Zhengyi discovered that the condition in his body had reached a shocking level, not to mention a large number of muscle injuries, as well as several blood vessels, and even bones were also slightly broken.
This kind of injury Ding Zhengyi had never seen before, and it made him feel like he couldn't do anything for a while.
However, such an illusion came and went quickly, Ding Zhengyi soon ignored the disturbance of the dragon scale crocodile in the outside world, he gathered all his mind, and concentrated on running the body forging technique, and the vitality in the dantian immediately followed a specific route, constantly nourishing and repairing the damage to the physical body.
At this time, the dragon scale crocodile saw that the enemy was in front of him, but he could not touch it, and he couldn't help but become more manic, and all its strength was concentrated on the tail that could still move, wantonly whipping the mountain walls on both sides of the crack, making a "boom, boom" earth-shattering sound.
As the roar continued to sound, Ding Zhengyi's healing process seemed a little unsustainable, and the cruel environment under the mixture of various unfavorable conditions made him devastated.
In desperation, Ding Zhengyi could only completely isolate the perception of the outside world, he ignored the hideous dragon scale crocodile in front of him, calmed down, had no sorrow or joy, and quickly controlled his injuries.
The madness of the dragon scale crocodile and the tranquility of Ding Zhengyi formed a clear response to this.
This extremely discordant picture once again reflects Ding Zhengyi's iron will, as well as his extraordinary quality of staying firm in the face of danger and sticking to his heart.
