Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 51 Crocodile King's Secret

Perhaps realizing that it had a fatal 'weakness', the Beast King Crocodile also felt a sense of panic.

In this state, it no longer cared about dealing with the ice that had been fed into its mouth.

What it wants to do now is to eliminate the threat to its own weakness, which means getting Wu Ou off its back!

Just as Wu Ou was about to make his move, he suddenly felt the beast king crocodile beneath him unleash a powerful force.

This is the crocodile's signature move—the death roll!

Under normal circumstances, in order to hasten the death of their prey, crocodiles will rotate at high speed when they bite their prey's body, which will cause their teeth to tear the prey's skin and even muscles and bones with great force, causing the prey to die instantly!

As a source energy beast that is already at the mid-level of level one, the Beast King Crocodile naturally will not forget this instinctive talent.

Furthermore, it can now activate not only when it bites something, but also on land in its normal state!

In that instant, Wu Ou knew he had to make a choice.

"Then try your own tricks!"

Wu Ou's arms were completely encased in metal, forming sharp blades. He aimed at the softened skin and stabbed it fiercely into it!

The remaining energy is distributed across the body's surface to help absorb and digest the impending impact.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

When the Beast King Crocodile's massive body began to roll, it wasn't just a simple spinning motion in place.

It transforms into a road roller drum, rolling at high speed in circles with its head as the center.

The nearby energy beasts were immediately in trouble. They were crushed into mincemeat by its enormous size and weight.

Many others, even when hit, were struck as if by a heavy hammer, flying out and breaking countless bones.

In an instant, within a fifty-meter radius around the Beast King Crocodile, only the bodies of those unfortunate Source Energy Beasts remained.

However, Wu Ou remained firmly pinned to the back of the beast king crocodile!

He couldn't help but smile; he had made the right bet!

Without the protection of a strong outer skin, the muscles inside are actually not that strong.

It seems that the Beast King Crocodile is somewhat "unbalanced". According to his memory, the internal defense capabilities of a mid-level first-level source energy beast should not be as weak as he is now!

"No wonder, after we increased the firepower and the subsequent explosive impact last time, it couldn't help but run back. Turns out it only strengthened the outer layer!"

At this moment, the area around where Wu Ou stabbed him was being continuously rotated, like a can lid that had been opened in the center, with larger wounds being pried open.

Furthermore, Wu Ou threw in some explosive gas in an attempt to damage its internal structure.

Realizing that the injury on his back was getting worse, the Beast King Crocodile finally stopped this ineffective method.

Wu Ou thought it had given up struggling.

But unexpectedly, it suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the Beijiang River!

It wanted to go back into the water and drown itself!

Or, they could return to their home turf and regain their advantage!

Wu Ou immediately made a judgment in his mind and increased the force of his arms, trying to tear the wound wider.

But at this moment, he felt a force resisting him. It was the power of the Beast King Crocodile itself, which, under the influence of source energy, accelerated the compression force brought about by the healing of the wounded muscles.

Of course, it didn't intend to heal the wound directly like this, but rather to use this method to prevent Wu Ou from escaping!

"What a cunning beast!" Wu Ou cursed.

After calmly considering the situation, Wu Ou gave up on struggling to get out and instead decided to follow it back to its lair.

Just after the crocodile king turned and charged towards the North River, the herd finally returned to normal from that controlled frenzied state.

While Wu Ou was charging towards the Beast King Crocodile, Bai Zhou and Yan Chi had already changed direction to help Xu Rui and the others divert the beast horde.

The weapons normally used for road defense, whether firearms or melee weapons, were all eventually used up. They even abandoned a spare gasoline tank and converted it into a large incendiary bomb.

Despite this, they successfully eliminated a considerable number of Source Beasts, but there were still too many remaining.

"These beasts!" Hu Meng stood on the car and smashed a large spider to death, when a huge cockroach pounced on him from the other side.

Fortunately, Su Xue managed to cut the cockroach in two in time.

The two initially took charge of one side, but now they have to fight back-to-back.

The enormous depletion of their physical strength and energy resources caused them to begin to feel exhausted.

"Watch out!" Su Xue swung her knife again, knocking a rabbit that had jumped up to the side.

This rabbit uses its powerful jumping ability to turn itself into a "mini missile". If it crashes into a person, it will definitely break bones or even kill them if the person's strength is below level one.

Even for them, whose strength has reached the initial stage of level one, taking a direct hit would not be pleasant.

"Thanks!" Hu Meng said, about to smash the rabbit to death with the hammer in his hand, but the rabbit suddenly jumped away and off the car!

"What the hell? Am I seeing things?"

Hu Meng couldn't help but blink, thinking he was hallucinating.

On this side of the city wall, Xu Rui and his men have suffered numerous casualties.

The cannons they had prepared were long gone, and the guns in their hands were now just sticks for burning.

They could only rely on their own physical strength to fight these energy beasts with cold weapons. Naturally, they would make mistakes due to insufficient physical strength, resulting in injury or even death.

"Phew—how many more are there...?" Xu Rui swatted a snake back with his stick, propped himself up, and looked at the beast tide in front of him. It seemed to be as many as at the beginning.

"Ha, wouldn't it be better if we let the ordinary people go by car first?" The strip of cloth tied around Miao Zikai's left arm was covered with a layer of blood-red frost.

He forced a smile, which clearly aggravated his wound, causing him to grimace.

"Who says otherwise! At least it allows some people to survive..." Xu Rui glanced in the direction of the tanks and couldn't help but shake his head.

Just then, Zhu Linlin suddenly pointed into the distance and exclaimed, "Look! The herd of beasts is starting to disperse!"

"What?"

"Really?!"

In the Beijiang River, the crocodile king dived into the water without hesitation.

Then, Wu Ou on his back entered the icy river water.

Even though he was mentally prepared, the chilling sensation still made Wu Ou shiver.

As the Beast King Crocodile descended, Wu Ou felt the surrounding water pressure increasing.

However, he maintained his original posture and followed it as it dived to the bottom of the water.

Because of the structure of the fish formed in his eyes, he is now able to see clearly what is happening underwater.

A crack about one meter long has appeared on the normally intact riverbed.

And inside, there is a constantly expanding 'bubble,' as if it were blown out of this crack.

Just as Wu Ou was surprised, the Beast King Crocodile rushed towards the bubble without hesitation!
