Chapter 333 Nirvana Falls into the Water
Four crimson streaks of light pierced the rain curtain, like four falling stars, precisely disappearing into the area where the four lurking Level 4 monsters were located.
The four Crocodiles, who were still looking for an opportunity and waiting to make their move, were clearly bewildered by Xu Si's move.
Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom—
!!!
Four crimson orbs of light exploded simultaneously in the turbid torrent, and the four eerie creatures seemed to be crushed by a giant beast.
The rain curtain was torn apart instantly.
However, Xu Si's star pupils discovered that those strange creatures had managed to avoid vital points at the last moment, and Xu Si did not hear any system notification sounds.
The four creatures were strange, and none of them died.
With the added advantage of the "Dominator of the Water" trait, these guys are really hard to kill.
However, this was within Xu Si's expectations.
【Crocodile Demon】is capable of feinting to the east while attacking in the west, so besieging the enemy and attacking reinforcements is a piece of cake for him.
However, Xu Si's Starburst was not without its merits.
At least according to the Star Pulse Perception, their speed was noticeably slower and their aura was noticeably weaker.
At the same time, his star veins were also probing further and more meticulously into the distance!
"Brother Dao! Nothing found!" Xiao Luo's voice rang in Xu Si's mind.
Xu Si frowned slightly.
Despite his stellar pulse and Xu Si's spiritual touch, the Crocodile Demon remained nowhere to be found.
This shows their caution.
Isn't it a bit inappropriate for a weirdo to try and be the one to suffer the consequences?
"If you don't come out soon, I might just take your men for myself!"
Xu Si muttered to himself, but his hands kept moving.
A second wave of attacks is already brewing.
The torrential rain poured down, splashing fine ripples on Xu Si's starlight.
His gaze wasn't fixed on the four wounded and fleeing Crocodiles, but rather on the water behind them.
Be vigilant against potential dangers that may arise at any time.
Beneath the star's shadow, that murky ocean remained deathly still.
There were no energy fluctuations, no signs of life, nothing at all.
But that [Crocodile Demon] must be there; that's a hunter's intuition.
Xu Si could feel that cold gaze, like a bone-deep infection, fixed on his back.
"Not coming out?"
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips, and crimson light condensed once more in his hand.
The four Crocodile Demons, sensing the intense danger, no longer hid and chose to strike first.
Countless dense water arrows shot towards Xu Si in the sky.
The advantage of being high above allowed Xu Si to easily dodge all the water arrows with a single upward climb.
Xu Si wasn't worried about these four [crocodile monsters]; he could deal with them in a little time.
But that [Crocodile Demon] was different.
It not only demonstrated exceptional intelligence but also outstanding tactical skills.
If Xu Si is not careful, he might actually fall victim to it.
As the water arrows missed their target, Xu Si's second wave of attacks arrived.
He didn't use the still-compressed starburst in his hand; that thing was reserved for the old silver coin who hadn't yet emerged.
As for the four [crocodile monsters], they were injured and their speed and reaction time were far less than before.
This is the perfect time to test the new features of the [Sword of Punishment].
The moment Xu Si drew his longsword, streaks of scarlet light appeared in the rain.
Unlimited spending
Just like the rain arrows that Xu Si had dodged, the [Sword of Punishment] multiplied infinitely in an instant, the density of the sword shadows comparable to a torrential downpour in the sky.
The four Crocodile Demons, sensing the danger, were engulfed by a rain of swords before they could even dive into the deep water.
One after another, crimson lightsabers fell into the torrent.
It was as if an unrestricted barrage of firepower had been carried out for an entire period of time.
Unfortunately, Justice Judgment and Infinite Grab cannot be used simultaneously, otherwise this would definitely be the strongest combination of area-of-effect attacks.
However, this grand spectacle reminded Xu Si of the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin" from cultivation novels.
I never expected him to make it happen.
Putting aside whether "Unlimited Extortion" is actually effective at scraping or not, the visuals alone are incredibly cool.
Xu Si hovered high in the sky, his star-like eyes piercing through the rain curtain, locking onto the four [crocodile monsters] that had nowhere to escape.
Countless crimson lightsabers, like a torrential downpour, frantically plunged into the turbid torrent, each strike exploding into a crimson halo on the water's surface.
The four already injured monsters could only struggle frantically under the dense rain of swords, because no matter where they fled, they were still within the range of the sword light.
Their hard, gray-black scales were slashed open with countless grotesque wounds by the endless sword light, and dark green blood gushed from the wounds, turning the surrounding waters into a murky mess.
"Why aren't you coming out yet?"
Xu Si was somewhat surprised; if the Crocodile Demon didn't come out soon, these guys wouldn't be able to hold on.
Judging from the fact that it rescued these strange creatures before, it shouldn't be giving them up so easily.
"They really know how to endure."
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. With a slight thought, he said, "Since you don't want it, then I'll take it."
The [Sword of Punishment] beneath Xu Si's feet suddenly accelerated through the rain, transforming into a crimson streak that precisely pierced the head of the [Crocodile] that was closest to him and had already begun to flee.
"Just Judgment"
[Purify Level 4 Eerie Creature - Crocodile Demon, Purification Points +8000, Remaining Purification Points: 129770]
The system notification sounded in his mind, but Xu Si didn't have time to look at it carefully.
The second one.
The Sword of Punishment, almost without pause, burst forth from a pool of collapsing sewage, drawing a crimson arc in the air as it hurtled towards the fleeing Crocodile.
Sensing a deadly threat, the Crocodile-like creature roared madly as it swooped down into the deeper water, its scales emitting a dark glow as it attempted to activate its "Dominator of the Waters" ability to control the floodwaters and form a barrier.
However, its speed is far inferior to that of the [Sword of Punishment].
Moreover, the corrosive damage inflicted on it by the rain of swords was consuming its life force, and each wound was slowing down its reactions.
The moment the Sword of Punishment plunged into the water, its blade suddenly glowed with a scarlet light.
Just as he was about to pierce through this strange creature, Xu Si suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
A massive black wave swept across, hurtling towards the second, eerie "Sword of Punishment," which was then swept into the air.
Xu Si reached out and took it, a smile playing on his lips.
"Brother Dao! He's here!"
Xu Si had already seen it without Xiao Luo reminding him.
This guy never left.
Or rather, this guy should have stayed glued to the bottom of the river the whole time.
No wonder he and Xiao Luo couldn't find it. With the interference of the torrent and the strange energy disturbances from these few creatures, they really couldn't find it.
At this point, the three wounded crocodiles were no longer a threat.
Forget about fighting him, he doesn't even have the resources to harass the team anymore. Even without Xu Si, the rest of the team could probably handle him easily.
However, the others struggled against [Crocodile Demon]. Even Xu Si wasn't entirely confident, otherwise he wouldn't have revealed the secret of Nirvana to everyone in the team.
A man and a crocodile stood facing each other from afar, their clothes barely touching the ground.
Xu Si held swords in both hands, and the scarlet orb in his right hand had been compressed to the size of a grain of rice, becoming almost imperceptible.
Perhaps sensing Xu Si's threat, [Crocodile Demon] did not launch an attack.
This is also a headache for Xu Si, because this kind of starburst compressed to the extreme cannot be shaped.
To maximize the effectiveness of an attack, it's best to make direct, close-range contact.
He still didn't make a good trade-off between speed and power.
If only the Starburst in his hand could be made into something like a bullet.
He was confident he could instantly kill even a level 5 anomaly, let alone a level 4 one.
Therefore, he didn't want to launch a direct attack, as the probability of the Crocodile Demon dodging it was extremely high.
This presents a dilemma.
Xu Si's starry eyes pierced through the rain curtain and the turbid torrent, locking onto that guy's every subtle movement.
He could feel the violent energy around him.
Meanwhile, the Crocodile Demons that had been frantically attacking Nirvana retreated back into the river, and the scene instantly quieted down.
Xu Si felt a vague unease.
"Brother Dao, Brother Chen Pei says the rain is getting increasingly violent!"
Xu Si's heart tightened. Could this guy be using the full power of the "Water Overlord" ability?
This is quite possible, because he sensed that the entire body of water was restless and agitated.
The floods that were originally just passively submerging the wasteland are now becoming extremely violent under the will of the Crocodile Demon.
The river, which had been calm just moments before, was now being whipped up by waves tens of meters high.
The direction in which the giant waves crashed was precisely towards the isolated island where the convoy was located.
No, to be precise, it is Nirvana.
This guy wants to take everything down with him.
It wants to bring the team to its home turf.
If the convoy hadn't entered Nirvana by then, it would have been dragged into the water by this guy.
Then there is only one outcome—being at the mercy of others.
This guy was smarter than he had imagined—he knew he couldn't do anything to Xu Si high in the sky, so he simply gave up on getting entangled with Xu Si.
Instead, they turned their attention to the steel fortress below, which was being battered by the crocodile-like tide.
Even if Nirvana is strong, its home advantage is too obvious on its own turf.
Moreover, under the continuous impact of the level 5 bizarre phenomenon, it would be impossible to emerge unscathed.
What's more, there were dozens of lives on board.
"You fucking..." Xu Si cursed for the first time.
Ice Abyss
Just as Xu Si realized what was happening, he turned around and saw a giant wave, tens of meters high, crashing down on Nirvana, which stood atop the hill, in the darkness.
If it really does capture a real image, it might actually sweep you into the torrent.
Although Xu Si felt that Nirvana's current ranking of [97] was a rare item.
He shouldn't be taken advantage of by a mere level-five anomaly, but he didn't want to take the risk.
Because the price of taking risks is the sacrifice of everyone in the team.
As a cold current swept by, the giant wave crashing against Nirvana suddenly transformed into an ice sculpture.
Even the torrential rain falling from the sky turned into dense hailstones.
The crackling and popping sounds were like a breathtaking audio-visual feast.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Crocodile Demon, but it showed little disappointment or anger.
Because what followed were several giant waves even larger than the ones before.
Perhaps its thinking was that Xu Si couldn't withstand such a drain.
That is indeed the case in reality.
After advancing to Sequence 4, Xu Si's sequence energy became much stronger, but it was certainly not enough to consume it at any cost.
Because there is another level-five eerie creature lurking here, waiting for its chance to devour you.
The cost of Xu Si using [Ice Abyss] will definitely be higher than the cost of [Crocodile Demon] using the 'Water Overlord' trait.
With this shift in power, Xu Si is at a natural disadvantage.
Therefore, Xu Si had no choice but to trust [Nirvana] himself.
All he could do was keep the Crocodile Demon occupied, and if he could kill it, that would be best.
"A giant wave is approaching; prepare for the impact!"
"Potential water entrapment detected. Activating diving module!"
"Potential damage detected. Self-repair initiated!"
"Detected..."
……
A series of mechanical sounds echoed inside the cabin.
With almost no time for the convoy to react, the giant wave crashed down, slamming into the armored plates that Nirvana had deployed.
The convoy members, who had just been drawn in by the sound of Nirvana, were suddenly thrown into a daze by the impact.
"Holy shit!" Tashan stumbled and fell to the ground.
The others weren't much better off, and Jiao Jiao was even taken off from the spot, flying two or three meters high due to the huge inertial impact.
The most comfortable ones are the well-behaved children who didn't get off the bus.
For example, DouDou, this little guy is still wearing his seatbelt.
The car body, firmly fixed in place by Nirvana, naturally did not suffer much impact.
"What the hell is this thing?" Yang Fan tried to push his spear down into the bottom of the carriage to find an anchor point to grip.
However, his [Sharp Spear] is clearly not tough enough.
The massive impact threw him directly onto the Mengshi vehicle.
The least affected were Chen Pei and Tang Jinxiu. Chen Pei, who had transformed into water, perfectly scooped up Tang Jinxiu, dissolving all the impact.
Fu Xiaojian gripped the car door handle tightly, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone in the cargo hold, as he shouted, "Don't panic! Get back in the car and fasten your harnesses...!"
Before the words were even finished, the second wave of impact had already crashed down.
boom--!!!
At this moment, [Nirvana] was like a ship being launched, with wave after wave of impacts.
"Redhead, you son of a bitch!"
Jiao Jiao had just landed and hadn't even had a chance to rub her bottom, which had been smashed into eight pieces.
It took off again after this impact.
This impact was even more violent than the previous one, and everyone could feel that Nirvana actually began to slide sideways under this impact.
Then came a series of surging, successive attacks.
'Plop'
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines; they knew all too well what that voice meant.
Nirvana has fallen into the water.
This means they've fallen into an eerie home turf.
This means that apart from Chen Pei, the rest of the team will have no chance to fight back.
Jiao Jiao has been thrown into the air countless times.
If Su Su hadn't steadied herself and used [Immortal Mist Threads] to trap her, she would still be flying in mid-air!
What frightened her even more was that they might perish here today.
This place will be everyone's graveyard, and a sudden fear filled her eyes with tears.
"Red Hair can fly, so he should be alright, right?"
Having just taken refuge in the chariot, she couldn't help but feel relieved.
Even though she thought that way, why did she still feel a little sad?
Although she had imagined countless ways to die.
She was really upset at that moment.
It's not fear, it's discomfort.
