At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang was extremely dissatisfied with the water snake. Not only did it throw itself as a weapon to the electric eel, which was one level lower than it, but it was also scared of a mutated beast that was 30 times smaller than it. The level of a mutated beast was related to its size. The bigger it was, the higher its level was. This three-to-five-meter mutated beast was at most a level one, but it actually made the water snake flee. Compared to the tragic battle of the Yangtze River Fleet, the water snake was much weaker. Zhang Xiaoqiang was angry with the water snake, so he didn't hold back. Since the water snake was afraid of pain and death, he wanted to let it know that he could also kill it.
The horn and the machete were both level four materials. Zhang Xiaoqiang's attack was more of a warning. The machete landed heavily on the horn, and the root of the horn on the water snake's head felt like it was hit by a hammer. The water snake trembled in pain. Then, Zhang Xiaoqiang's machete cut through the water snake's scalp and pressed against its skull. Suddenly, the water snake stopped running and slowly turned its head …
No wonder the water snake ran away. This strange and ugly mutated beast was even faster in the water. When it spread its wings, it could leap on the water surface. The wings were also very flexible, allowing the mutated beast to turn freely in the air, just like a bird. Not to mention that the glass-like blood-red beak could easily break the scales of the water snake. Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that the water snake's huge body would be hard to deal with this kind of mutated beast, but he was even more angry at the water snake's cowardice. So what if the thing bit the water snake all over?
At most, it would hurt a little, but it wouldn't die. Besides, just because the water snake couldn't deal with it didn't mean that Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't. Their mission was to guard the river, not to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Just as Zhang Xiaoqiang forced the water snake to change its direction, the downpour formed a curtain of rain that covered a large area of the river. The mutant beast from before seemed to have disappeared. Zhang Xiaoqiang stood on the head of the water snake and observed the surrounding movement. The water snake couldn't bear the pain on its head and wailed. This made Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart move, and he pulled out his curved sword. At this moment, the water snake seemed to have received a command and rushed forward. Looking at its indomitable appearance, it seemed that it was ashamed and courageous.
As the water snake sped up, the ripples on the surface of the water around the snake's head suddenly exploded. The mutated beast that had disappeared earlier suddenly leaped out of the water and rushed towards Zhang Xiaoqiang. Its eagle-like beak was aimed straight at Zhang Xiaoqiang's body. The water snake's body instantly tensed up, and the snake's head was raised high, as if it wanted Zhang Xiaoqiang to avoid the mutated beast. Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart was filled with gratitude towards the water snake. No matter what, the water snake still cared about him. At this moment, the mutated beast's wings fell off its body, and its blood-red, jade-like beak drew a parabola and fell into Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands. Following that, the steel whip-like snake tail also separated from the mutated beast's body, and the mutated beast's body split apart. Under the control of Zhang Xiaoqiang's mind, the Rat King Blade instantly dismembered the monster. Even the monster's crystal core and colloid body were exposed in the air, and under the impact of the Rat King Blade, it changed direction and fell into Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands.
Zhang Xiaoqiang harvested these things effortlessly, and he couldn't help but feel satisfied. Even if ten or twenty of these things came at him at once, he wouldn't be afraid. In the midst of his excitement, he suddenly found that the water snake was still rushing downstream. Seeing that it was about to reach the embankment, Zhang Xiaoqiang was prepared to defend the embankment with the water snake. Looking around, he found that there were thousands of mutant beasts gathered around the embankment, all of which were the same kind of mutant beasts that had chased after the water snake earlier. Zhang Xiaoqiang was so scared that his hair stood on end. With so many mutant beasts attacking together, no wonder the water snake fled without a fight.
Thousands of mutant beasts had originally followed the electric eel here. The electric eel was fighting the water snake in front, while these greedy mutant beasts were eating in the back. The iron-head fish that had been wiped out by both the Yangtze River Fleet and the big water snake had suffered heavy casualties. A large number of corpses had floated down the river and were blocked by the embankment made of debris. These mutant beasts had turned this place into a restaurant. Before, the water snake had asked Zhang Xiaoqiang to deal with the electric eel, but it had run over to deal with the bird-beak shark fin mutant beast. Zhang Xiaoqiang had misunderstood the big water snake's anger.
After being threatened by Zhang Xiaoqiang's machete, the big water snake had erupted with unprecedented courage and rushed towards these mutant beasts with the determination to die. Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to tell the water snake to turn around, but he couldn't bring himself to say it. Not to mention the escape route of more than 100,000 survivors behind him, not to mention the fact that the entire Yangtze River Fleet was almost destroyed because of his order, and not to mention the fact that the water snake had turned around and charged under his anger, so he couldn't turn around and run away at this moment.
For a moment, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart surged with a solemn and stirring feeling. He just wanted to fight to the death. The Rat King Blade flashed at high speed beside him, splitting countless raindrops in half. The invisible killing intent expanded to the extreme, actually expanding to 20 meters. The violent collisions of the killing intent caused a continuous vibration ten meters away. All the raindrops were annihilated by this vibration. The heat flow in the Firebird machete was once again guided by his fighting intent. It flowed through the web between his thumb and forefinger through his arm, driving away the bone-chilling coldness that surrounded his body. Just when Zhang Xiaoqiang was about to face this shocking battle, the water snake suddenly raised its head, pulling Zhang Xiaoqiang out of the water and more than 10 meters above the surface of the river.
The moment Zhang Xiaoqiang shouted for the water snake to put him down, the water snake's body, which was originally bigger than a train carriage, swelled up. In two or three breaths, the water snake's body had more than doubled in size. Just when Zhang Xiaoqiang was surprised by the water snake's change, countless mutant beasts abandoned the remains of the Iron-Head Fish and surrounded the water snake. These mutant beasts were so fast that even the heavy rain could not slow them down. In a few blinks of an eye, the group of mutant beasts pecked off pieces of flesh from the expanding water snake. Dozens of mutant beasts aimed at the water snake's head, wanting to kill it in one blow.
Zhang Xiaoqiang hurriedly protected the water snake's head and beheaded the mutant beasts beside him. The scattered remains fell like rain. He no longer had time to collect the materials and colloid bodies, so he let these mutant beasts fall into the water and float. He could not think of anything else, so he just killed the mutant beasts numbly. Just when he was in a killing frenzy, the water snake with its skin and flesh all over its body spat out its tongue and wrapped itself around Zhang Xiaoqiang's waist again. Zhang Xiaoqiang spent a lot of effort to not split the snake's tongue in half with his machete. Just when he was wondering, the snake's shape was like a spring and threw Zhang Xiaoqiang from the snake's head 30 to 50 meters high. Zhang Xiaoqiang completely lost control. Originally, he was close to 20 meters above the water, but this time, he climbed to 30 to 50 meters. There was only one thought in his mind, 'Could it be that I won't die in battle today, but from falling to my death?'
As this thought flashed through his mind, the water snake under him suddenly moved. The snake's head quickly sank, and a thick blue smoke spread from the snake's head, covering a large area of the river. Even if it was raining cats and dogs, the smoke did not dissipate and completely surrounded the water snake. Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was about to fall back down, saw the thick smoke around the water snake. He instantly thought of the level 3 python that fought with the mutant queen in the Yin Meng region. He immediately understood what the thick smoke that the water snake spat out was …
Mutated beasts all had their own trump cards. If it wasn't a life or death situation, mutated beasts wouldn't use them. For example, the big black fish's corrosive source, the electric eel's electric current, and all kinds of strange abilities of mutated beasts. Every time these abilities were used, the energy of the mutated beasts would be consumed. The water snake's poisonous smoke was no exception. After it was spat out, not only did its body return to normal, it became even slimmer. The flesh that it had grown from the zombies seemed to have been consumed.
Zhang Xiaoqiang fell again under the pouring rain. Before he could fall into the rolling poisonous smoke on the river's surface, the slender snake's tongue coiled around him and gently placed him back on the snake's head. Grabbing the sharp horn, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the rolling poisonous smoke below the snake's head with lingering fear. Every second, there would be hundreds of thousands of raindrops falling on the river's surface, creating countless ripples. The ripples formed one after another, merging the poisonous smoke into the river's water. The mutated beasts that were surrounding the water snake and biting it all disappeared without a trace. There was one that was still submerged in the water. The cyan blue poisonous smoke turned into poisonous water and mixed with the river's water. Not long after, the river also turned cyan blue, and not a trace of the poisonous smoke could be seen spreading on the water's surface. Standing on the water snake's head, rainwater flowed down from the top of his head to the neck, and then flowed down from his arms to the firebird scimitar in his hands. Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't know how many bird-beak flying beasts he had killed just now.
Zhang Xiao Qiang did not know how many Bird-Beak Flying Winged Mutated Beak Beak Beak Beak Fish he had killed earlier, probably at least 20 to 30. Although these Mutated Beak Beak Fishes were of lower levels and were not easy to kill, Zhang Xiao Qiang could only barely protect himself with all his might. However, the poisonous mist that the water snake had spat out had actually forced thousands of Mutated Beak Beak Fishes back into the river. Raindrops splattered on the surface of the river, and within the rippling waves, there were only the remains of ships and the remains of the Steelhead Fishes. Occasionally, the Bird-Beak Fishes that Zhang Xiao Qiang had killed could be seen, but the thousands of Bird-Beak Fishes had disappeared without a trace. It was as though everything had been a nightmare. Just as Zhang Xiao Qiang was in a daze, a complete Bird-Beak Flying Winged Fish floated up to the surface of the river. As far as the eye could see, the entire river was filled with these things.
