That giant beast was covered in rock-like scales. When it stood up, Long Chen realized it was a gigantic crocodile stretching over a thousand li.
It hadn't revealed any aura before, so it should be in a dormant state. Long Chen's Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique had little sensitivity to anything undangerous.
So when Long Chen climbed onto the crocodile's head, he still hadn't sensed this terrifying beast. By the time he understood, it was already too late.
The giant crocodile had already sensed him, its runes trembling all over its body. Long Chen immediately sensed something was wrong. The giant crocodile tried to knock him away. This was a magical beast so powerful it was of unknown grade. If it were knocked back, he would surely die.
Long Chen made a snap decision, ripples appearing around his body. The power of flames spread out in an instant, and at that moment, a fierce force from Long Chen's feet sent him flying.
"Whoosh"
Long Chen was sent flying into the air, but his body was entangled with chains, the other end firmly stuck to the top of the giant crocodile's head.
This giant crocodile was a fire-type ferocious beast. Long Chen's flame power attached to its body, and it couldn't break free in an instant.
Using the power of the chains, Long Chen returned to the top of the giant crocodile's head, formed a hand seal with one hand, and sent out fiery swords, stabbing down toward the crocodile's head.
"Clang, dang, dang..."
The rune sword struck the crocodile's head as if slicing into rock, sparks flying, but not even a single mark was left.
"So hard, Huo Ling'er, help me." Long Chen shouted loudly, and the fire dragon flew out in response, biting the giant crocodile's scalp. With a cracking sound, sparks flew everywhere, but the fire dragon's teeth and claws still couldn't break through the crocodile's defenses.
Long Chen's heart sank. Huo Ling'er's teeth and claws were the sharpest parts of her body, yet even she couldn't break through her defenses. This only meant this giant beast was terrifying—far beyond his ability to handle.
"Roar!"
The giant crocodile was grabbed several times by Huo Ling'er. Although it wasn't broken, it only grew angrier. Its entire rock-like skin erupted with countless runes.
"Not good," Long Chen's
expression changed. The chains clinging to the giant crocodile's head instantly melted, and the giant crocodile was about to send him flying again.
"Huo Ling'er!"
Long Chen shouted, and Huo Ling'er immediately understood. The dragon's body instantly narrowed, transforming into a chain that wrapped around the giant crocodile's neck, pressing tightly against its body.
"Boom!"
The giant crocodile trembled violently, a tremendous shockwave nearly making Long Chen cough up blood. Fortunately, Long Chen tightly gripped the chains formed by Huo Ling'er and didn't get knocked away.
"Rumble... The
giant crocodile's aura trembled, like a volcanic eruption. Long Chen felt a terrifying force trying to tear him apart, and his arm was barely gripping the chains.
At that moment, multiple chains extended from Huo Ling'er's body, firmly binding Long Chen and easing much of his pressure.
The giant crocodile roared, emitting a sound like a bull's bellow, making Long Chen's eardrums rumble and he felt as if his head was about to split open.
But Long Chen was stuck in a dilemma right now. For now, he could only make sure he wouldn't be left behind, and would figure out what else to do.
"Boom boom boom... The
giant crocodile struggled, the earth collapsing, and the terrifying power stirred up a raging storm in the Flame Swamp.
Long Chen glanced quickly and saw countless flame demons in the swamp, fleeing as if they'd seen a ghost.
Those Flame Demons exuded terrifying aura, all at least third rank, but they were so frightened they fled for their lives. Long Chen cursed inwardly, wondering how unlucky he was—just after entering, he ran into something like this.
"Boom!"
The giant crocodile suddenly jumped into the lava swamp. The lava, a hundred miles deep, still couldn't contain its body. As soon as it jumped into the lava swamp, the surrounding rocks shattered, stirring up waves stretching thousands of miles.
Long Chen was engulfed in flames all over, but he found that inside the lava, the impact he endured was actually less, making it easier than on the ground.
The giant crocodile churned in the lava swamp. After struggling for a while, seeing it couldn't shake off Long Chen, it burst out of the swamp and sped straight toward the land.
The giant crocodile was enormous in size, but not clumsy; all four legs flew together, like a speeding flying boat.
"Ouch!"
The giant crocodile was incredibly fast, charging straight at a mountain. The mountain collapsed, and Long Chen crashed into the mountain, spitting out a mouthful of blood. If he hadn't activated the Azure Dragon Battle Body in time and protected it with the power of the stars, he would have been killed instantly.
"Damn it, I'm going to wear it out with you."
Long Chen was furious, suffering repeated losses, which made him even more ruthless.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly,
Long Chen held a chain in each hand and swung it out. In an instant, the two chains entwined around the giant crocodile's mouth.
The giant crocodile's mouth was bound, and it instantly flew into a rage, struggling wildly, but couldn't break free from the shackles. Its claws couldn't reach its mouth at all, making it roll around in frustration.
"The records in the book are indeed true. Crocodiles have the most terrifying bite force, but they have a fatal flaw: all their power is used on the bite, while the force they use when opening is very weak." Long Chen was overjoyed to see the fire dragon easily lock the crocodile's mouth.
"Hold."
Long Chen sat on the giant crocodile's back, holding a flaming chain in each hand, whipping the crocodile as if commanding his mount.
The giant crocodile grew even angrier, rolling wildly, but Long Chen had already found a technique; it was hard to cause him any more damage.
Seeing it couldn't shake Long Chen off, the giant crocodile sprinted forward wildly again, racing straight toward a high mountain.
That mountain was tens of thousands of miles away, and along the way, they encountered many third-tier demons. As soon as they saw the giant crocodile, they fled, and some were too late to run and were killed by the crocodile directly.
"No way, does this count as my head too?" Long Chen glanced at his nameplate and saw that the numbers on it were increasing.
What he didn't know was that those dead demons would not cast curses on their own kind. Without understanding how they died, any human they saw would cast a curse upon them.
"Rumble rumble... The
earth trembled, the giant crocodile sped forward, carving a deep trench and line across the land. The demons who couldn't dodge were either smashed to death or burned to death by the flames.
"Come on, go, go... Damn it, hurry up! You're too slow, aren't you awesome? Master Long San specializes in all kinds of amazing ... "Ride on, go, ...!"
Amid Long Chen's shouts, the giant crocodile charged straight into a mountain. Just as it was about to hit the mountain, Long Chen shouted loudly, exerted a strong force with his right hand, and the crocodile's head tilted slightly.
"Boom!"
Gaoshan was knocked halfway down, but Long Chen was unharmed. At the critical moment, he misled the giant crocodile and dodged itHeavy attack point.
"Gig-gi-cha-go... Run... Run! If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll have no idea how many ...eyes your Third Master Long has!" Long Chen whipped the giant crocodile fiercely with the chain in his hand, shouting loudly.
But as he shouted, Long Chen suddenly noticed a group of people ahead, staring at him in shock. In the sky above that place, a golden war chariot was parked.
