"Quick, go rescue Captain Leng Feng!"
Qu Shuang noticed that after the clash with the Crocodile King, Captain Leng Feng seemed to be running out of strength, presumably due to overuse of his battle qi. She quickly gritted her teeth and released a Light Shield, placing it in front of Leng Feng.
But Fang Zhou’s actions were faster than hers.
When he advanced to Silver, he had already solidified the Death Protection divine skill in his energy core as his talent skill.
Therefore, Fang Zhou’s casting speed for the Death Protection skill was much faster than Qu Shuang’s Light Shield.
Bang bang.
The sound of fierce energy clash erupted.
Under Fang Zhou’s formidable Death Protection, the Desecration Magic Arrow spat out by the Hydra Crocodile King was fully depleted, vanishing into thin air.
The aftermath of the energy clash was also shielded by Qu Shuang’s Light Shield.
Zhuo Yue and others who were still trapped in the water pool gritted their teeth and cooperated to entangle the Crocodile King, buying time for Fang Zhou and the others.
Shooting down the Hydra Giant Crocs approaching Captain Leng Feng with Calamity Flying Spears, Fang Zhou and his party brought Leng Feng onto the raft.
In a near-desperate flurry of pole strokes by several warriors, they finally stepped onto the island’s surface just before more Hydra Giant Crocs arrived!
Upon reaching the ground, Fang Zhou hurriedly summoned all the undead creatures that had been useless on the raft, forming a defensive line that killed the Hydra Giant Crocs coming ashore.
Zhuo Yue and others, still in the water and amidst dangerous circumstances, seeing their entanglement with the Crocodile King successful, also sped towards the island under the cover of the Blood Spirit Giant Bat swarm.
The Crocodile King, repeatedly fooled without gaining any advantage, erupted in furious rage.
Even high-tier fierce beasts have their dignity.
Seeing these despicable reptiles escaping under its nose one after another, it became furious.
Letting out an angry roar into the sky, it opened its giant mouth again, launching three smaller Desecration Magic Arrows simultaneously, aiming straight at Zhuo Yue who ran ahead.
Already nearing exhaustion, Zhuo Yue could no longer evade, struck by one of the Water Arrows on his left shoulder.
The powerful impact sent Zhuo Yue flying three to four meters, landing right by the shore, coughing up blood uncontrollably.
In haste, Fang Zhou quickly built up a Death Protection behind him, commanding nearby Blood Spirit Warriors to bring him back.
Qu Shuang on standby also immediately started treatment on him.
At this time, another Silver-level warrior, Feng Yu, had also charged onto the shore.
As he jubilantly ran towards Fang Zhou and the others, he suddenly stepped into a void, finding himself trapped in a patch of mud.
What’s going on? This was clearly solid ground just now!
Feng Yu hadn’t remembered wrongly. It was solid ground a minute ago, but the Crocodile King’s another talent skill turned it into a swamp.
Rotting Demon Pool!
High-tier abyssal fierce beasts can instantly change ground elements, turning normal soil into a demon pool.
Even though the island’s geology mainly consists of hard rock, creating a Rotting Demon Pool that traps Feng Yu’s footsteps is an easy task for the Crocodile King.
Trapped in the demon pool, Feng Yu struggled forward two steps.
A massive tail suddenly lashed out amid everyone’s cries, attempting to wrap tightly around him.
"No!"
Knowing what would happen next, Captain Leng Feng and others shouted.
But before the shout was over, Fang Zhou’s rescue had already arrived.
He first summoned a Silver Upper Rank Blood Spirit Hatred behind Feng Yu, ordering it to firmly kept Feng Yu behind.
Simultaneously, he repeated the same tactic, commanding two Blood Spirit Giant Bats to swoop down from above, forcibly pulling Feng Yu from the constraining Rotting Demon Pool.
A series of crackling sounds were heard.
Amid the roaring, the Blood Spirit Hatred that faced the Hydra Crocodile King’s tail thrashing could not endure long, strangled to death by the Crocodile King’s terrifying crushing power.
Even the Blood Spirit Hatred, with the top-notch defense power among Fang Zhou’s undead summoned creatures, had its bones shattered before it could activate its explosion ability prior to death.
Fang Zhou’s expression was grave.
He was now certain that purely regarding power attributes, this Hydra Crocodile King was at least above a Golden Middle Rank.
It was a menace formidable enough to wreak havoc wherever it went.
Only now did the Crocodile King slowly stretch its head forward.
The two arrows originally embedded in its eye vistas from the two Forest Wanderers had disappeared, leaving two round pits of unknown depth.
Possibly to demonstrate power or vent anger, after strangling the Blood Spirit Hatred, the Crocodile King didn’t release its tail.
Instead, it spit out a blood-red long tongue, roaring its triangular monstrous head several times at the sky, and extending its large mouth with terrifying fangs toward the Blood Spirit Hatred still entangled in its tail.
Judging by the situation, it seemed intent on devouring this Blood Spirit Hatred right in front of Fang Zhou and his party!
"Ah!"
Witnessing this, everyone in Fang Zhou’s vanguard team could not help but exclaim.
Especially Captain Leng Feng and others, who had regarded Feng Yu as a brother after years of camaraderie, all were terrified and called out their luck.
With their insight, they naturally understood.
If it weren’t for Fang Zhou’s plentiful and powerful summoned creatures coupled with decisive actions, Feng Yu alone could not withstand the Hydra Crocodile King’s chain attacks.
In the Rotting Demon Pool and tail strangling, even the Silver Upper Rank Blood Spirit Hatred summoned by Fang Zhou couldn’t persist long, let alone Feng Yu, a Silver Middle Rank ordinary warrior.
Right after saving Wang Fei’s life, Fang Zhou again saved Feng Yu’s life!
Thud.
A Blood Spirit Giant Bat descended from the sky, gripping the heavily injured Feng Yu, as Qu Shuang hurried over for emergency treatment.
Although Feng Yu hadn’t been struck by the Hydra Crocodile King’s tail strangling, that Rotting Demon Pool still teemed with abyssal desecration demon qi and toxins.
His remaining Silver level battle qi didn’t support him for long.
Though rescued timely by Fang Zhou, he’s now virtually incapacitated.
After a brief examination of the seriously injured Feng Yu and Wang Fei, Leng Feng and others couldn’t afford to express gratitude to Fang Zhou, but their expressions were dire.
So far, the vanguard team has already lost two combat powers.
Among the remaining eight, Leng Feng had expended much of his battle qi, Zhuo Yue was severely injured.
Aside from the well-protected Fang Zhou and Qu Shuang, the rest of the warriors, assassins, and Forest Wanderers all suffered more or less injuries.
Even with Qu Shuang’s treatment, they barely maintained basic combat capabilities.
As for their adversary, the Golden Crocodile King, except for the marks on its eye vistas that can scarcely be considered wounds, only a few blood trails were cut on its abdomen by Zhuo Yue and Feng Yu earlier, while other areas were untouched under the protection of scale armor.
Not to mention, outside the island in the water pool, countless Hydra Giant Crocs awaited in numbers unknown.
As descendants of the Crocodile King, they were ever ready to heed the Hydra Crocodile King’s call to attack en masse.
Both Fang Zhou and Leng Feng’s group were combat-seasoned military elites.
They all knew they must repel this round of attacks from the Crocodile King.
Else, when their strength drained completely, the Crocodile King would toy with them slowly.
How could this crisis be resolved?
Leng Feng felt extremely anxious.
For the vanguard team of Silver-level professionals, the Hydra Crocodile King clearly exceeded expectations in strength.
Adding to it were at least ten Silver-level Hydra Giant Crocs and unknown Black Iron and Bronze-level juvenile crocs hidden in the pool, making it virtually impossible for him and his teammates to find a breakthrough.
He couldn’t help looking at Fang Zhou.
If there’s any hope, it would rest on this overpowered, yet extremely young Undead Mage.
Since encountering the Golden Crocodile King, though only battling for a short ten plus minutes, both Fang Zhou’s formidable and plentiful undead summoned creatures, and those potent undead magic spells, frightened Leng Feng, Zhuo Yue, and others immensely.
This also unconsciously increased Leng Feng’s trust in Fang Zhou.
