Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 209 - 203: Mud Crocodile

The crocodile flew up into the sky, which was quite dramatic.

For Zhang Zhen to face three Tier Six Evil Spirits and a large number of Tier Seven Evil Spirits, it was a bit difficult.

However, Zhang Zhen was all about challenges.

Challenging the impossible, if you don't fight hard when you're young, when will you?

Zhang Zhen held the Golden Wind-Thunder Rod, with purple lightning constantly swirling, thunder and lightning shooting straight to the clouds.

"Crackle, crackle."

"Crackle, crackle."

Such sounds kept resonating. In this environment, Zhang Zhen seemed to be portrayed as a thunder god of war.

At this moment, the eagle battle formation formed by crocodiles also charged toward Zhang Zhen to strike.

The eagle's claws and beak were composed of Tier Six Evil Spirits, and their prowess was intimidating.

"Bang!"

The Golden Wind-Thunder Rod in Zhang Zhen's hand was like a giant hammer, heavily striking the eagle formation.

The Power of thunder and lightning surged through the Golden Wind-Thunder Rod in Zhang Zhen's hand into the eagle battle formation.

It must be said, these crocodiles had truly strong defense capabilities.

Moreover, when they formed a battle formation, they could still share the damage.

Zhang Zhen's attack power was undoubtedly strong.

However, the eagle battle formation was composed of hundreds of crocodiles.

When the thunder energy released by Zhang Zhen was dispersed into a hundred parts, distributed over these crocodiles, the force thus became bearable.

Zhang Zhen's recent strike did not cause any casualties to these crocodiles, only knocked off some mud from them.

The next moment, the eagle claw reached for Zhang Zhen, but he reacted quickly.

He spread the Wind-Thunder Wings behind him, swiftly pulling away.

In terms of agility, Zhang Zhen was far more nimble than this eagle battle formation.

Zhang Zhen and the eagle formation formed by crocodiles fought for ten minutes and still no victor emerged.

Zhang Zhen's advantage lay in his high speed and agility.

On the other hand, the advantage of the eagle formation composed of crocodiles was its super strong defense, capable of sharing damage.

Even if Zhang Zhen's output attack was strong, once dispersed among them, it fell within a bearable range.

"Damn, fighting like this isn't working," Zhang Zhen cursed.

Having fought for ten minutes, Zhang Zhen hadn't made any substantial progress.

If it continued like this, even with another half hour of fighting, no conclusion would come.

At this moment, Zhang Zhen felt like a dog biting a hedgehog, with no way to start.

Zhang Zhen thought, is the boss watching from below?

Fighting like this, where would Zhang Zhen put his face?

Reputation!

Zhang Zhen was a person of decency, he needed his reputation, didn't he?

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhen unusually began to use his brain.

He racked his brain, pondering how to defeat the eagle formation made up of crocodiles.

The brain is like something that, if squeezed, there's still something there.

As the saying goes, fools have their own fortune.

Zhang Zhen, usually not a thinker, was by fate a blessed person.

At the critical moment, his brain seemed to light up as if it had received enlightenment.

And indeed, it allowed him to think of an idea.

Although the eagle formation was powerful, it wasn't a whole.

Rather, it consisted of three Tier Six Evil Spirit Crocodiles and hundreds of Tier Seven Evil Spirit Crocodiles.

They were united when together, but if they were separated, they were just a pile of nothing.

Once he could separate them, Zhang Zhen could easily defeat them.

Separate!

How could he separate these Evil Spirit Crocodiles?

Zhang Zhen's brain, now seeming enlightened, indeed thought of a solution.

The Golden Wind-Thunder Rod hovered before Zhang Zhen, countless flashes of lightning and thunder sprang from the rod.

Zhang Zhen used the thunder power within his body as a foundation to invoke thunder power from the heavens and earth.

Countless thunder powers transformed into a gust, with lightning crackling within it continuously.

The speed of the thunderstorm was swift, sweeping through the eagle battle formation in the blink of an eye.

Within the thunderstorm came the sounds of "crack" and "crackle," with the eagle battle formation caught within.

It was like a small boat in stormy waves, only able to drift along, in constant danger of being wrecked.

Prior, whenever Zhang Zhen clashed with the eagle battle formation, his power would come from a single point.

Thus, the eagle formation could disperse and neutralize this power.

But now, it was different.

Now, the forces within the thunderstorm came from all directions, evenly distributed, thus unable to be dispersed and neutralized.

"Splash."

"Splash, splash."

As the thunderstorm grew larger, the tearing forces from all directions also intensified.

Soon, the entire eagle formation was thoroughly torn apart.

After the eagle formation disintegrated, it naturally lost its flying ability, and each crocodile fell from the sky.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhen was overjoyed.

Zhang Zhen, taking advantage, waved his Golden Wind-Thunder Rod and began whack-a-mole right on the scene.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Zhang Zhen swung his rod again and again, each swing able to smash a crocodile into a mist of blood.

With the Eagle Battle Array broken, these crocodile monsters were far too weak for Zhang Zhen.

In fact, saying they were utterly defenseless would hardly be an exaggeration.

Even in a one-on-one situation, a Tier Six crocodile leader couldn't last more than a few rounds against Zhang Zhen before being pounded into a mist of blood.

After resolving the Eagle Battle Array, Zhang Zhen freed his hands and once again charged into the midst of the crocodile horde, wantonly slaughtering.

Even though there were many deceit servants of the Tier Five Evil Spirit Mud Crocodile, individually, they were still too weak.

The crocodiles that originally surrounded them seemed to stretch endlessly as far as the eye could see.

The dense sight of them would make anyone with a fear of clusters shudder.

After this intense battle, large clearings had appeared in the swamp, where the bodies of crocodiles lay strewn haphazardly.

"Gurgle."

"Gurgle, gurgle."

A series of heavy noises arose from the surrounding crocodile horde, as if they were transmitting some sort of signal to each other.

In the next second, you could see the remaining crocodile monsters slowly submerging into the swamp, disappearing without a trace.

The situation was tense, swiftly followed by retreat.

It seemed that realizing victory was unattainable, the two remaining Tier Six crocodile leaders took the others and fled.

Zhang Zhen landed from the sky and said to Zhuge Ming, "We can't let them get away like this!"

"Hurry, command us! We'll catch up and take them all out."

With the battle over, Zhang Zhen's intelligence returned to normal levels.

It seemed that every time a fight broke out, Zhang Zhen became more intelligent.

The more intense the battle, the higher his intelligence.

Once the fight was over, his intelligence returned to a level slightly better than that of a fool's.

Zhuge Ming glanced at Zhang Zhen with a look meant for the simple-minded, and said nothing.

In his mind, Zhuge Ming thought, "When you act on your own, why don't you listen to me?"

"Now you want me to command? Where were you earlier?"

In truth, pursuing them was truly difficult.

In this swamp, it's these crocodiles' home turf.

The Life Pattern Masters under Lin Yuan's command could only move freely in the swamp if they first paved a path.

Without solidifying the swamp and paving a road, moving freely was hard enough, let alone giving chase.

"The monk may run, but the temple won't run away."

"Once we deal with the Mud Crocodile, the other crocodile monsters will naturally have no escape."

"No need to chase; absorb the surrounding Deceitful Qi quickly. Once it's absorbed, we'll head directly to find the Mud Crocodile!" Lin Yuan ordered.

Lin Yuan had watched today's battle from start to finish.

Overall, it could only be described as decent, just average.

The primary reason for their victory over these crocodiles, by overcoming weakness with strength and outnumbered odds,

was actually that Zhang Zhen demonstrated enough power.

This was a victory heavy with personal heroism, rather than one achieved through team cooperation and unity.

If they didn't have Zhang Zhen today, or if Zhang Zhen hadn't performed so brilliantly, they might have struggled to handle the crocodile horde's onslaught.

However, demanding too much would be unreasonable.

Most of the Life Pattern Masters brought along this time were recently recruited from the civilian population.

They lacked large-scale combat experience, as well as experience in team coordination.

Combat experience and teamwork skills are both things that can be cultivated later.

In terms of psychological resilience and combat experience, these individuals performed decently.

With proper training, their combat effectiveness will undoubtedly improve.

...

...

After dealing with the obstructive crocodiles and absorbing the Deceitful Qi they produced, they continued onward to search for the Mud Crocodile.

Their large party finally saw the legendary Mud Crocodile from afar.

This Mud Crocodile's size was truly gigantic!

This wasn't merely a crocodile; it was essentially a small mountain!

The Mud Crocodile lay there lazily, reaching at least five to six meters high just lying down.

You must know, the Mud Crocodile was lying down at that height!

If it stood up, it would be unimaginable.

The Mud Crocodile's appearance was overwhelmingly imposing, but its size wasn't the most impressive feature.

Its body length was the most astounding aspect.

The Mud Crocodile was about thirty meters long.

Tall and long, entirely earth-toned, the Mud Crocodile looked less like a crocodile and more like a raised hill.

The Mud Crocodile was lying there motionlessly, like it was dead.

Of course, Lin Yuan knew it was alive.

Because it exuded a heavy pressure, identifying it as a Tier Five Evil Spirit.

Lin Yuan studied the Mud Crocodile from afar; it apparently had not realized that a group of tiny ants had intruded upon its territory.

So it completely ignored them, continuing to sleep there.

At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly thought of a question.

With the Mud Crocodile being so large, what does it eat normally?
