Chapter 80 - 80 Betrayal? Do Your Own Things!
Although some mutated beasts would still have a certain combat instinct after being subdued, they still had to fight according to the lord’s command.
However, before Wang Xiao could give the order just now, the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] took the initiative to change its attack strategy. It even shared his thoughts!
“Could it be that high-quality mutated beasts can communicate telepathically?”
Wang Xiao muttered softly, but he also knew that it was unlikely. This was because such a situation had never happened to the level two platinum [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf], so it definitely had nothing to do with quality.
Recalling how the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] would not work without praise in the territory previously, Wang Xiao felt that this mutated beast seemed to be a little different.
At the same time, the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] also landed in front of the three secret realm hunters. However, it was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, it raised its head and sized up the three of them from the corner of its eye, as if it was saying, “What other methods do you have? Use them!”
“[Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]!”
When Wang Xiao saw this scene, he shouted helplessly, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and deal with them. We still have to explore the secret realm!”
Upon hearing its lord’s order, the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] still did not move. It only let out a soft cry, and its dark green eyes clearly revealed some disdain.
“Damn it!”
The three secret realm hunters were so angry that their mouths were crooked. They had cleared thousands of secret realms and killed countless mutated beasts. When had they ever been despised by a mutated beast?
“Since you’re courting death, don’t blame me!”
The secret realm hunter in the middle shouted coldly. He seemed to be the eldest of the three and had not attacked since just now. It was only now that he finally could not take it anymore!
“[Netherworld Ghost]!”
The secret realm hunter in the middle shouted. Although there were no changes in his surroundings, Wang Xiao could clearly feel the temperature begin to rapidly decrease!
“[Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]! Be careful!”
Wang Xiao hurriedly reminded. The [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] had just let out a cry as a response when its huge body was sent flying by something!
BANG!
The [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] spread its wings in the air and stabilized itself. Then, it suddenly turned around and looked at the place where it was at just now. Its dark green eyes were filled with confusion, as if it was wondering what was attacking it.
At the same time, Wang Xiao’s expression was also ugly. It was not because he couldn’t see the other party’s soldier, but he discovered that the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] was injured!
Perhaps the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon had thick skin and could not sense it, but Wang Xiao saw it clearly.
There was a small handprint on the chest of the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon. It was about the size of an ordinary person’s palm, but the power of this attack was very huge. Not only did it send the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon flying, but even a few of its iron-like scales were chipped off!
Almost at the same time, the back of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] seemed to have suffered another heavy blow. Its huge body immediately smashed heavily to the ground!
“Go underground!”
Wang Xiao hurriedly shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] burrowed into the ground with a whoosh. It was innately compatible with both water and earth attributes. Even if the ground was modified into rocks, it could still easily enter.
However, before Wang Xiao could heave a sigh of relief, another muffled sound came from the depths of the ground.
Before the tail of the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon could completely enter the ground, it was sent flying into the sky by a huge force again!
The invincible Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon was actually beaten until it was unable to fight back.
Wang Xiao’s expression finally turned serious. He originally thought that he could easily end the battle, but from the looks of it, a lord who could become a secret realm hunter was indeed not simple!
A twisting light appeared beside him, and the completely silver [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] instantly appeared.
Wang Xiao pointed at the three secret realm hunters in the distance. “Deal with them!”
To capture bandits, one had to capture the leader first.
Since he could not see the other party’s soldiers, he would deal with the lord who controlled them!
“Roar!!!”
The [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] let out a long howl, and immediately, countless lightning jumped between its silver-white fur.
However, just as the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] was about to attack, a black shadow suddenly descended from the sky. The [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] spread its wings and kept growling. It bared its teeth as if it was threatening its own companion!
Wang Xiao’s expression changed. He thought that the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] was betraying him at the last minute, but then he thought of something and probed, “You want to resolve it yourself?”
Actually, Wang Xiao was just asking casually. He did not expect the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] to really nod. After glaring at the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] with a gaze that was very humanlike, it flapped its wings and flew into the air again.
“…”
Wang Xiao was really completely speechless this time. He did not know what was going on, but the intelligence displayed by the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] had already far exceeded the scope of a mutated beast!
“What the hell is going on?”
Wang Xiao frowned and looked at the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] beside him. There were only two emotions in its golden eyes—ferocity towards the enemy and loyalty to the lord.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Wang Xiao decided that after leaving the secret realm, he had to find Chen Jinrong and ask him clearly.
However, the most important thing now was to deal with these three secret realm hunters.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao hurriedly raised his head and looked into the sky. He did not expect that after only a short while, the situation in the sky had actually reversed!
The [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] seemed to have completely figured out the other party’s attack pattern. It continuously flapped its wings and changed its location in the air. Moreover, every time it passed a location, it would quickly slash at that place!
Although Wang Xiao could not see anything, every time the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] waved its claws, he could hear the sound of cloth tearing.
The secret realm hunter in the distance also saw this scene. The eldest of the three immediately exclaimed, “This is impossible! It is impossible for anyone to see my [Netherworld Spirit]!”
“Don’t be so quick to make judgments. Nothing is impossible in this world.”
Wang Xiao crossed his arms and smiled faintly. He had already guessed what was going on.
The [Netherworld Ghost] looked invisible and intangible, but since it could defeat the scales of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon], it meant that it had a physical body. It was just that one could not see it unless they had special methods.
As for the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon], it kept flapping its wings in the air. It looked like it was changing its position to avoid the attack, but in fact, it was to create airflow and lock onto the other party’s location through the airflow change!
At the same time, the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] in the air seemed to have had enough fun. Its teasing gaze suddenly became fierce. When it passed by that spot again, it did not wave its claws. Instead, it rushed forward and swung its dragon tail like a whip!
...
With a crisp bang, a ball of fine white light exploded out of thin air.
Wang Xiao did not even know what the [Netherworld Spirit] looked like, but seeing this situation, he knew that the other party had already been dealt with.
The Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon retracted its wings and landed on the ground. More than ten scales on its body had been sent flying, but it did not seem to feel anything. It slowly walked in front of the three secret realm hunters and revealed that disdainful gaze again.
