Chapter 295: Chapter 294: Killing the Extra-Large Swamp Giant Crocodile
Huge wounds were torn open on the bodies of the two terrifying giant beasts, but those same wounds healed at a rapid pace. They seemed evenly matched.
In the midst of their fierce battle, mud and muck from the swamp flew in every direction.
’A perfect chance! Spirit-Attaching Strike!’
A cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. He switched to a Tier Four Spiritual Spear, the "Crusher," loaded it with a High-Level Enchanted Armor-Piercing Bullet worth a staggering thirty million, and pulled the trigger on the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile.
BANG!
A black beam of light shot out like a meteor, blasting toward the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile with the power to shatter and destroy everything in its path.
The massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s Spiritual Sense twitched; it had sensed danger. It was just about to manipulate the Power of the Swamp to defend itself when the Swamp Five-headed Serpent lunged forward, viciously biting its head and tearing off a large chunk of flesh. Wracked with excruciating pain, it could only barely muster a gray Spiritual Membrane over its body.
The black beam of light slammed into the gray Spiritual Membrane, instantly piercing through it. It shattered the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s Scale Armor and blasted into its body, tearing open a bloody, fist-sized hole.
Ordinarily, with the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s Recovery Power, an injury like that would naturally heal after a short while. However, the Swamp Five-headed Serpent was frantically tearing and biting at it, giving it no time to recover.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Sparing no expense, Shu Feng repeatedly used his Spirit Spear Technique’s Spirit-Attaching Strike. He imbued his Spiritual Power into the thirty-million-cost High-Level Enchanted Armor-Piercing Bullets and fired them continuously into the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s body, weakening its Life Force.
The massive Swamp Giant Crocodile was originally a match for the Swamp Five-headed Serpent, but under Shu Feng’s assault, it was quickly put at a disadvantage.
Seeing the situation turn against it, the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile struggled, attempting to dive into the swamp. With its ability to manipulate the swamp, once it submerged itself in these unfathomably deep waters, not even an expert at the Spirit Saint Realm could do anything to it.
The Swamp Five-headed Serpent’s enormous body coiled tightly around the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile, preventing it from submerging into the swamp while simultaneously attacking it relentlessly.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Shu Feng continued to use Spirit-Attaching Strike, shooting the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile from a distance.
After he fired thirty rounds of the High-Level Enchanted Armor-Piercing Bullets, each worth thirty million, the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s head was finally crushed by the Swamp Five-headed Serpent, its bones shattered. It died a miserable death.
’It’s a good thing I synthesized the Swamp Five-headed Serpent! A common three-headed serpent would have been mere prey for this massive Swamp Giant Crocodile, not its opponent at all.’
Only after seeing the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile taken down did Shu Feng let out a long sigh of relief. In a swamp environment, it would have been all too easy for a terrifying Swamp Giant Beast like that to kill him.
Had the Swamp Five-headed Serpent been defeated, Shu Feng’s only choice would have been to summon a Hundred-Colored Dragon Eagle and escape by air.
The moment the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile died, the other Swamp Giant Crocodiles immediately scattered, fleeing in all directions.
A prompt tone sounded. A look of delighted surprise flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes. He instantly appeared beside the corpse of the Swamp Giant Crocodile and stored it in his Base Space.
Inside the Base Space, the Steel Beast swung its Steel Blade, swiftly cutting open the Swamp Giant Crocodile’s abdomen. Inside its stomach, it found an Amber Stone the size of a human head.
’Source Energy +5,000!’
A pleasant notification chimed after Shu Feng tossed the Amber Stone into the Resource Dissolving Pool.
"5,000 Source Energy!! This is amazing!! Haha!!"
Shu Feng laughed out loud, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
To advance to the Spirit Realm, Shu Feng had spent every last bit of the hundreds of thousands of Source Energy he had previously acquired. After suppressing the Pitch-Black Hand and the Deep Red Eye, he had gained several thousand Source Energy. That amount was then used for the Swamp Five-headed Serpent’s Mutant Evolution. This five thousand Source Energy came at the perfect time!
’Fix the Swamp Five-headed Serpent’s injuries!’
With a thought, Shu Feng pulled the Swamp Five-headed Serpent into the Energy Evolution Tower, consuming Source Energy to rapidly repair its injuries.
The Swamp Five-headed Serpent had not escaped its battle with the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile unscathed. One of its heads had been bitten clean off. To recover quickly, he had to use the power of the Energy Evolution Tower.
’Healing requires 100 Source Energy! That leaves 4,900! I can use it on the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile.’
’Central Analyzer, run an analysis for me. If I fuse the Nine-headed Serpent’s genes into this massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s body, is 4,900 Source Energy enough for a successful mutation?’
Shu Feng stared at the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s corpse, a fervent glint in his eyes.
The massive Swamp Giant Crocodile was a Top Level native predator in the Mire Dragon Marsh. Its genes were incredibly powerful, and it had already evolved to the Grandmaster Realm, possessing ferocious and unparalleled combat strength. If it could undergo further mutant evolution, it would become even more terrifying.
Shu Feng’s only worry was that he didn’t have enough Source Energy.
’The evolution and mutation of a living being cannot be fully predicted. That is the joy of creating life.’
Countless streams of data flickered across the Central Analyzer, and a line of information appeared: "The Nine-headed Serpent’s genes have high compatibility with the Swamp Giant Crocodile’s genes. The probability of a successful mutation is as high as 84%. Requires injection of a High-level Soul!"
Shu Feng was decisive. ’Then inject a High-level Soul!’
Within the Source Energy Evolutionary Mutation Nest, countless pipes sprayed a viscous fluid, enveloping the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s corpse. Innumerable transparent tentacles then pierced into the body, forming a large, translucent egg.
An immense amount of Source Energy surged into the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s corpse, rapidly repairing its injuries.
Once all the injuries were repaired, a High-level Soul and an immense amount of Soul Power flooded into the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s corpse.
Within a dozen breaths, the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s eyes snapped open. They rolled around, its body now brimming with life.
An enormous amount of Source Energy surged from the countless transparent tentacles and was injected into the massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s body.
The massive Swamp Giant Crocodile’s body began to tremble violently. Its limbs grew rapidly, becoming incredibly thick and sturdy. Two bulges sprouted from its neck, its body grew larger and larger, and its scales became thicker and thicker.
The massive Swamp Giant Crocodile was like a giant energy black hole, frantically absorbing the energy within the Base Space. One after another, the High-level Souls Shu Feng had kept in reserve were directly absorbed. Piece after piece of Top-grade Demon Stones and Top-grade Spirit Stones were also drained dry.
