Chapter 695: A Sweet Smell
Lin Ze felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, a fishy-sweet taste surged in his throat, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He groaned in pain and tried to struggle to stand up, but his body would not obey him.
However, Lin Ze did not give up. He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, supported himself with his hands, and slowly climbed up from the ground. His legs were still shaking, as if he might fall down again at any time.
At this moment, Lin Ze suddenly noticed that the scales on the python's body were shining faintly under the sunlight. These lights did not seem to be simple reflections, but hidden some kind of rules. Lin Ze's heart moved, could this be the python's weakness?
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and concentrated all his strength on the weapon in his hand. Then, he stared at the python closely, looking for the best time to attack.
Finally, Lin Ze saw an opportunity, he rushed forward, and the weapon in his hand stabbed into the python's abdomen like lightning. With a "puff" sound, the weapon easily penetrated the python's scales and pierced deeply into its body.
The python hissed in pain and began to twist its body wildly. Its tail slapped the ground, splashing large amounts of mud. Lin Ze took the opportunity to launch continuous attacks, not giving the python any chance to breathe.
Under Lin Ze's fierce attack, the python's resistance became weaker and weaker. Finally, it fell to the ground powerlessly, and the splashing mud covered Lin Ze's whole body.
Lin Ze panted heavily, looking at the calm swamp in front of him, knowing that the danger here might be far more than that. But he was not afraid at all, but more determined to move forward. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, adjusted his breathing, and prepared to face the next unknown challenge.
Lin Ze just took a step forward when he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake. Before he could react, several smaller but extremely fast pythons emerged from the swamp, spitting out their tongues and surrounding Lin Ze in a fan shape.
Lin Ze's heart suddenly tightened, and a chill instantly spread throughout his body. His nerves immediately tensed up, and he held the weapon in his hand tightly, as if it was the last line of defense in his life.
He stared at these enemies that suddenly appeared - a group of giant pythons. These pythons were even bigger than the one he encountered before, and their movements were extremely cunning. They didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack immediately, but like a group of well-trained hunters, they slowly swam around Lin Ze, carefully observing his every move, looking for his flaws.
Lin Ze knew how powerful these pythons were, so he didn't dare to be careless. He focused on every move of each python, not daring to miss any details. Just when he was extremely nervous, a python suddenly attacked from the side like lightning, with a speed that was astonishing.
Lin Ze's reaction was not slow either. He dodged to the side and nimbly avoided the python's pounce. At the same time, he swung the weapon in his hand like a gust of wind and slashed at the python's head. However, the python was extremely agile. It dodged in mid-air and easily avoided Lin Ze's attack.
At the moment when Lin Ze's attention was attracted by the python, the other two pythons seized the opportunity and attacked him from behind like ghosts. Lin Ze secretly said in his heart that it was not good. He had no time to turn around, so he could only roll over and barely avoided the fatal attack.
He stood up quickly, and without even taking a breath, he rushed towards one of the pythons without hesitation. His body was as fast as lightning, and he approached the python in an instant. The weapon in his hand pierced the python's vitals like a poisonous snake out of a hole. This time, his attack was extremely accurate, and the python could not dodge in time. It was pierced by Lin Ze's weapon and twisted in pain.
Seeing this, the other pythons seemed to be enraged, and their attacks became more fierce, sweeping towards Lin Ze like a storm. Lin Ze was surrounded, but he was not afraid. He gritted his teeth, rushed left and right in the encirclement of the pythons, and cleverly avoided the fatal attacks again and again.
His fighting skills became more and more sophisticated, and every swing of his weapon was accurate and deadly, and he started a thrilling life-and-death struggle with the pythons...
Lin Ze fought more and more bravely, but there were so many pythons that he gradually became powerless. Just when he was distracted, a python swooped down from above his head, and its huge body crushed him so hard that he couldn't breathe.
Lin Ze tried his best to push away the python, but he gradually felt his strength slipping away like sand in an hourglass. Although beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his hands were shaking slightly from the excessive force, the python remained motionless.
Just when Lin Ze felt desperate, suddenly, a low roar came from the depths of the swamp. This sound seemed to come from hell, with endless pressure and fear. Those originally ferocious pythons suddenly stopped attacking as if they were cast under a spell of immobilization. Their bodies began to tremble slightly, and then quickly retreated back to the depths of the swamp as if they were electrocuted.
Lin Ze was shocked. He didn't know where the roar came from, and he didn't know what could make these ferocious pythons so scared. He struggled to crawl out from under the python. Every movement caused him to feel a sharp pain, but he still gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound.
A huge crocodile slowly emerged from the water. Its body was several times larger than Lin Ze's, and it was covered with hard scales that gleamed coldly in the sun. The crocodile's mouth opened wide, revealing its sharp teeth. A strong fishy smell wafted into his nose. Its eyes were like copper bells, staring at Lin Ze intently, revealing a kind of indifference and cruelty.
Lin Ze's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, he tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, his palms were soaked with sweat. Facing such a huge crocodile, he couldn't help but feel powerless, but he knew that he couldn't retreat and had to face this new challenge bravely.
Lin Ze took a deep breath, suppressed his inner fear, stood firmly on his feet, and fixed his eyes on the crocodile.
The crocodile did not seem to be in a hurry to attack. It swam slowly in the water, splashing layers of water, as if it was toying with the tiny human in front of it.
Suddenly, the crocodile accelerated suddenly, and its huge body rushed towards Lin Ze like a warship breaking through the waves.
Lin Ze dodged to the side and swung his weapon at the crocodile's back.
However, the crocodile's scales were extremely hard, and the weapon only created a spark without causing any substantial damage.
