Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

"My God!" Zhang Daniu was terrified when he saw the enormous mouth, bigger than his head, rushing towards him.

But this time, he wasn't completely dumbfounded. His survival instinct made him roar, swing his axe with both hands, and with all his might, chop at the crocodile's hardest part—its head! It was a fight where both sides would be severely injured!

"Fool! Cut off its eyes and belly!" Shi Tie roared, as two black water crocodiles attacked from the left and right! Shi Tie was not afraid at all, he lowered his waist and stood on his horse, his iron rod swirling into a black whirlwind!

"Clang! Clang!" Two loud crashes! The two crocodiles were actually smashed and rolled away! But he himself was also shaken so badly that his arms went numb and he took half a step back!

Facing the charging crocodile, Su Xiao didn't engage in a direct confrontation. She nimbly dodged to the side and rear, simultaneously flicking her wrist! A faint light shot into the crocodile's eye! This was one of her few remaining low-level ice needle talismans!

Although the talisman wasn't very powerful, it struck the crocodile's most vulnerable eye, causing the beast to roar in pain and slow its attack!

Zhao Qingyan, being the weakest in cultivation, was almost powerless against the charging crocodile! Terrified, she closed her eyes tightly and instinctively pressed the "heart-protecting mirror" given to her by Shen Mo against her chest!

"You beast! How dare you!"

With a cold shout, Shen Mo appeared before Zhao Qingyan like a ghost! He didn't use any magical artifacts (nor did he), but simply pointed his fingers like a sword, with a layer of extremely condensed light blue spiritual light swirling around his fingertips, and struck the crocodile's brow with lightning speed!

It is a low-level spell called "Armor-Breaking Finger" in the "Azure Cloud Qi Refining Technique". It highly compresses spiritual power into a single point, specifically designed to break through protective qi and hard armor!

"Pfft!" A soft sound, like piercing leather, rang out! The crocodile's hard skull was pierced directly by Shen Mo's finger!

Blood and brains splattered out! The crocodile didn't even let out a scream before its massive body stiffened abruptly, then crashed heavily onto the edge of the reef, twitched twice, and stopped moving!

One fatal blow!

At the same time, on the other side, Zhang Daniu's axe struck the crocodile's head! "Clang!" Sparks flew everywhere!

The crocodile roared in pain, but the axe blade only left a white mark on its bony armor! It didn't even break through its defenses!

The crocodile's massive tail swept across, about to knock Zhang Daniu into the water!

"Watch out!" Shi Tie cried out in alarm upon seeing this! He had just fought off the crocodile in front of him and was too late to help!

"Duck!" Shen Mo's shout rang out again! After killing the crocodile that attacked Zhao Qingyan, he didn't stop for a moment. He appeared next to Zhang Daniu as if he had teleported, and kicked out with precision at the base of the crocodile's sweeping tail!

This kick, seemingly light and airy, actually contained a clever and skillful force! The force of the crocodile's tail was deflected slightly, grazing past Zhang Daniu's back!

Zhang Daniu shrank back in fright and scrambled to hide behind Shi Tie.

"Attack its abdomen and eyes!" Shen Mo reminded again, his voice so calm it didn't sound like a life-or-death battle.

In that brief moment of delay, the remaining crocodiles had already climbed onto the rocks and surrounded the five people! A foul stench filled the air! The situation was extremely critical!

"Back to back! Form a circular formation!" Shen Mo decisively gave the order!

The five immediately obeyed! Shi Tie and Zhang Daniu stood at the outermost edge, Shen Mo and Su Xiao provided support in the middle, and Zhao Qingyan was protected in the center!

"Su Xiao! Use ice needles to distract their eyes! Shi Tie, Da Niu! Attack their bellies as they lunge at you! Qing Yan! Watch out for any follow-up underwater!" Shen Mo issued commands at lightning speed, like a precise machine.

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison! With someone to lead them, their panic subsided somewhat!

The battle instantly intensified! Shi Tie roared repeatedly, his iron rod aimed specifically at the crocodile's soft, white belly! Every blow landed squarely on the flesh!

Zhang Daniu also learned his lesson and stopped hacking away. Instead, he waited for the right opportunity and used his axe to slash at the crocodile's eyes!

Although Su Xiao's Ice Needle Talisman has limited destructive power, it can always interfere with the crocodile's attack at crucial moments!

Shen Mo hovered at the edge of the formation, occasionally unleashing his Armor-Piercing Finger technique, ensuring that one of the crocodiles would either die or be seriously injured!

On the reef, sticks flew and axes flashed, the roars of crocodiles and the clash of weapons resounded! Blood stained the reef and the surrounding water!

Zhao Qingyan was protected in the middle. She watched the fierce battle in front of her and was so frightened that she trembled all over. But she remembered Shen Mo's order and suppressed her fear, trying her best to focus her divine sense on the water below the reef!

"Master...Master Brother!" she suddenly screamed again, "Underwater...there are more dark figures gathering! So many!"

These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over everyone's heads!

Zhao Qingyan's scream, tinged with tears, was like an ice pick, piercing the ears of the four people who were engaged in fierce battle!

Shi Tie smashed the crocodile in front of him with his stick, and glanced underwater when he caught a glimpse of it. His scalp tingled with fear!

Beneath the murky waters surrounding the reef, shadowy figures suddenly emerged—more than a dozen pairs of scarlet eyes! Cold and cruel!

They did not attack immediately, but simply hovered quietly underwater in the blood-soaked water, as if waiting for the best opportunity, or as if they were surrounding their prey!

"Damn it! This is never going to end!" Shi Tie cursed, his heart sinking. He hadn't even dealt with these few problems, and now another group was showing up!

If we were completely surrounded on this small reef, we might really be doomed here today!

"Sect Leader! What do we do?!" Zhang Daniu shouted breathlessly as his axe struck the hard carapace of a crocodile, sending sparks flying. His voice was filled with obvious panic. He was exhausted, and his arm was already starting to ache.

Su Xiao's face was deathly pale, and her breathing was rapid. Her spiritual energy was severely depleted, and her temples were throbbing. She had already used up all the ice needle talismans, and relying solely on her weak spiritual interference was having little effect on these thick-skinned crocodiles.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse! The glimmer of confidence that had just arisen from the initial cooperation was instantly replaced by deeper despair!

"Tighten your formation! Don't lose your composure!" Shen Mo's voice remained calm, even more composed than before.

With a flick of his finger, a sharp gust of wind pierced the eyeball of a crocodile that was trying to sneak up on Zhang Daniu's flank! The crocodile rolled over in pain, temporarily losing its threat.

"Shi Tie! Smash its snout with all your might from three feet to the left! Su Xiao, use the lowest level 'Sound Illusion Technique' to disrupt the right flank! Da Niu, ignore what's in front, guard your ground! Qing Yan!"

Shen Mo spoke rapidly and gave clear instructions, "Take out the stack of 'Earth-Trapping Talisman' embryos (unfinished products) I gave you! Don't activate them. Scatter them along the edge of the reef in the directions I told you to!"

Shen Mo's calmness, like a stabilizing force, instantly steadied the situation that was on the verge of collapse!
