Chapter 108: The Rampage of the Fire Dragon

“My brother, we just went through poisoning, and now we’re facing a level-six beast! Damn, the outside world is really dangerous!” Niu Wuji stared tearfully at the swamp crocodile rapidly charging their way.

“The swamp crocodile’s body structure is unique. Even in marshes, it moves as if on solid ground. Many humans and beasts who get trapped in the swamp end up as its meal,” Li Tiedan said with a frown.

“Old Li, stop talking! If you say any more, I’ll be even more scared!” Niu Wuji lamented.

“Damn it! And we can’t move recklessly either. Quickly, form up! Stay within the safe zones and avoid unknown areas!” Wu Tian hurriedly ordered his team to form a solid defensive line. The swamp crocodile was fierce; they had to give it their all.

“Grr!” The swamp crocodile crawled swiftly, unaffected by the marshland beneath it, even accelerating in the swamp.

When the crocodile charged to about three yards from Wu Tian and his group, it suddenly dove into the marsh, disappearing from sight completely.

“The swamp crocodile? Did it fall into a deep swamp?” Xiao Hui asked, puzzled.

“No, it didn’t fall in. It burrowed into the marsh,” Wu Tian responded, frowning.

Suddenly—

Before Wu Tian finished speaking, the swamp crocodile burst from the grass just a few meters ahead, baring its massive jaws aiming to bite him.

“Damn it! You want to hurt the young master? Not without asking me first!” Li Tiedan leapt up and slammed a heavy right punch into the crocodile’s mouth.

Boom! A loud crash echoed as Li Tiedan fell heavily to the ground. At that moment, Xiao Hui silently chanted a healing spell, and a faint yellow glow enveloped Li Tiedan’s head, instantly replenishing his lost blood. The crocodile was only briefly stalled.

Fwoosh! Li Qingqing shot an arrow condensed with true energy at the crocodile in midair.

With a thud, the arrow struck the crocodile’s head, triggering a triple critical hit, but its health only dropped by 300.

“Beast! Take this!” Niu Wuji instantly drew his treasured sword, a ghostly afterimage flashing as he thrust the blade straight at the crocodile’s eye.

Ding!

Yet, the swamp crocodile, being a level-six beast, immediately clamped its jaws around Niu Wuji’s sword.

Snap! The precious sword shattered into pieces. As Niu Wuji’s sword broke, Xiao Jin suddenly grew larger, its sharp teeth sinking viciously into the crocodile’s tail.

“Well done!” At that moment, Wu Tian appeared behind the crocodile, his Black Dragon Blade slashing down with immense power.

“Storm Surge!”

Boom! A massive surge of true energy struck the crocodile’s back. The beast crashed heavily down, but beneath was a marsh, and it instantly sank into the swamp.

Wu Tian flipped and landed at a previously scouted safe spot. Unlike the crocodile, he couldn’t move with ease in the marsh, so Wu Tian’s team had to avoid attacks within a limited area, continually forced into a passive stance.

Suddenly, a clod of mud shot rapidly toward Wu Tian just as he landed. He blocked it with his Black Dragon Blade, deflecting the mud into a nearby tree, puncturing it through.

Bang bang bang…

More mud balls erupted from all directions, launching a relentless assault on Wu Tian’s group.

Wu Tian kept deflecting the mud clods, but the sheer volume was overwhelming, like a torrential downpour.

“This bastard is so damn cunning, hiding in the swamp to attack—he’s just bullying us because we can’t move freely in the marsh!” Niu Wuji complained while blocking attacks.

Li Qingqing relentlessly fired arrows from her Skybreaker Bow at the crocodile, but her damage was insufficient to cause meaningful harm to the beast submerged in the swamp.

Meanwhile, Wu Tian focused intently on the marsh while defending against attacks.

Suddenly, Wu Tian raised his Black Dragon Blade high, channeling all his true energy into it. The blade seemed to emit a dragon’s roar.

“Bloodthirsty Frenzy!”

Boom!

A ferocious true energy blade shot toward the marsh, triggering a violent explosion. The swamp instantly erupted into a large crater, and the crocodile’s body was blasted into the air.

Seeing the crocodile thrown back, Li Qingqing fired three arrows in rapid succession. All struck the crocodile’s head, dealing 200 points of damage—small, but better than nothing.

“小 Jin!” Wu Tian shouted.

Xiao Jin understood immediately, swelling in size, leaping up to grasp the crocodile’s four limbs tightly with its paws, teeth snapping fiercely at its neck.

“Grr!” The crocodile roared in fury, biting back hard on Xiao Jin’s neck.

Xiao Hui quickly cast a series of healing spells on Xiao Jin. Though its health was rapidly declining, the healing spells kept it from bleeding out.

Boom! At the same time, Li Tiedan leapt up, pouring all his true energy into a punch aimed at the crocodile’s head. With his level-ten martial artist strength and top-grade gloves, the beast’s health dropped by 1,500.

“I’ll tear you apart!” Niu Wuji, unwilling to be outdone, drew another sword and stabbed at the crocodile’s rear.

Snap! His sword broke again.

“Damn! Broken again. Can we even have any fun like this?”

“Everyone, dodge!” Wu Tian shouted as he jumped above the crocodile.

Immediately, Xiao Jin, Li Tiedan, and Niu Wuji sidestepped sharply, just as Wu Tian’s Black Dragon Blade landed heavily on the crocodile’s head.

“Fire Dragon Frenzy!” Flames coiled around Wu Tian’s blade as it surged toward the beast’s skull.

Roar! When the fiery dragon struck, it sounded like a dragon’s roar. The crocodile’s head instantly had a large hole blasted through it.

The Black Dragon Blade dealt double damage to beasts, and since Wu Tian had inherited the Fire Attribute from the Dan God’s legacy, his attacks added extra fire damage. The swamp crocodile, lacking any fire resistance, suffered devastating harm.

With this assault, Wu Tian completely depleted the crocodile’s health.

Ding!
