When the King Crocodile was awake, it’s active search through smell was very sensitive. However, when it was sleeping, its senses were inferior.
Liu Gan circled around the sleepy creature. The King Crocodile had no reaction; it was in deep slumber. Liu Gan took this opportunity to look around for any weak spots. Where would its weakness be?
The King Crocodile slept like a cat, forming a circular shape with its tail touching its head. Once he got closer, Liu Gan could see the intensity of the black fog shrouding the creature as it flowed out. Applying this theory, if he reached level 15, then his own Mist Armor should have a whole new layer of protection applied on top. It might even produce the same effect as this King Crocodile.
Another possibility was that his level 15 Mist Armor might not be able to reproduce the same effect, since Liu Gan’s Mist Armor was special.The destructive power of Liu Gan’s Enhanced Crescent Blade far surpassed that of a hand grenade, so using hand grenades against the creature was a pointless move. If he wanted to measure how much burst damage he could do, then he should use his Enhanced Crescent Blade.
Scouting through the forest once, Liu Gan marked out all possible escape routes. Then he returned back to a spot near the sleeping creature.
Deeply breathing several times, Liu Gan filled up his rage counter. Once all preparations were complete, it was time to challenge the King Croc. His Enhanced Crescent Blade ability released four consecutive attacks that landed on the same spot on the creature’s Black Fog. Liu Gan’s attacks were unable to penetrate it. Instead, sparks were produced, as if metal was striking metal.
The Enhanced Crescent Blade attack never reached the skin of the creature. That was Liu Gan’s best attack! Like being pricked by a needle, the King Crocodile woke up, and angrily turned around to the spot of agitation, swinging its claws at Liu Gan.
Liu Gan expected that he would be targeted, so he tried his best to evade. The King Crocodile’s speed wasn’t something he could look down upon. It moved around like an electric current. Liu Gan was launched a dozen meters back by the creature’s swipe.
“Hey! The fight started!” Saffron Ma shouted to his comrades, since he had climbed to the top of a tree for better vantage point. He had activated his new ability Far Sight. He could convey what he was witnessing from a safe distance.
“What’s happening with the fight?” the other players asked. No one had a similar ability, they could only ask Saffron for details.“Lord Liu was sent flying backward by the Crocodile’s claw swipe. He was knocked back a dozen meters. I don’t know his condition,” Saffron updated the players like a live broadcast.
“No way… did Lord Liu die?”
“Stop! Don’t jinx it! His condition is still unknown…”
Liu Gan kicked off the ground into a somersault, rolling with the force of the attack. Sensing that the situation was more dangerous than he had anticipated, he ran. The King Crocodile pursued him relentlessly, jaws gaping wide. Unable to reach him with a bite, it unleashed a deafening roar.
After the King Crocodile’s roar, Liu Gan felt his body became extremely heavy. It was as if he was carrying a ten ton weight on his shoulders. It was impossible to move!
Liu Gan could only watch the Crocodile raise its claw high above its head and slam it down on him. The force of the attack destroyed a fourth of Liu Gan’s Mist Armor. It was a direct attack, so Liu Gan could only withstand four or five more times of slams like that!
Judging from its massive size, Liu Gan believed that the slam was several times stronger than the swipe. If his Mist Armor was shattered, and he was caught in the slam, then he would definitely become a meat patty.
The problem now was that Liu Gan’s body had been debuffed by the Crocodile’s roar. His body was couldn’t move. He watched helplessly as it continued to try and stomp on him!
So this is the benefit of being almighty!
“Lord Liu didn’t die yet, he tried to escape! The King Crocodile has its foot on Lord Liu! Ah! Lord Liu seems to be paralyzed. He stopped moving…” Saffron Ma continued with his live broadcast. At the same time, they felt the ground shake from the King Crocodile’s slam attack.
“What’s Lord Liu’s condition? Did he die from the attack?” the others continued asking.
“I don’t know. The battlefield stirred up quite a lot of dust…” Saffron Ma spoke up.
“Find out quickly! Is Lord Liu still alive?” Everyone wanted to know. These past few days, they had all received some sort of benefit from Liu Gan, so they were grateful towards him. They wanted to know the condition of their benefactor.
“I need to concentrate to use my ability, stop interrupting me!” Saffron Ma shouted.
Liu Gan didn’t get stomped on by the next attack. Right as the King Crocodile was preparing the next slam, Liu Gan looked at the Crocodile’s head and used Psychic Shock. To his disbelief, the feeling weight was removed. Liu Gan reacted quickly and rolled aside to avoid the attack.
During the brief moment the King Crocodile hesitated, Liu Gan escaped. The power slam still followed through, but it missed its mark by five meters, creating a depression on the ground. Liu Gan rushed toward the forest for cover.
Now that he had gauged the King Crocodile’s attack power, he knows that his attacks were useless. On top of that, he couldn’t find any weakness. The next best thing he could do was escape.
Once the King Crocodile saw that Liu Gan hadn’t been crushed, it unleashed another loud roar. Due to its gigantic size, in one stride, it closed the distance its prey. It swiped its claws left and right, breaking through the trees, trying to catch the annoying mouse called Liu Gan!
