Chapter 100

Let the Great King Ai suffer such a great loss, and now he wants to just walk away?

Not a chance!

The six-legged Purus crocodile turned around, ready to run back into the lake.

However, Ai Xiaohai moved first!

In the instant the Purus crocodile turned, Ai Xiaohai, ignoring the pain all over his body, charged forward—leaping up!

Like a swift and agile hunting leopard!

If it were any other opponent, the crocodile would have already escaped successfully, but it faced Ai Xiaohai:

Indestructible, unbreakable, vengeful, and swift as lightning!

Ai Xiaohai swooped down like a giant bird!

At this moment, the severely dehydrated Purus crocodile had become sluggish, no longer as swift as a ghost. But it still had one powerful weapon:

Its tail!

The massive tail swung with great force—

No creature could withstand this blow!

But... but... its opponent was Ai Xiaohai, a madman who cared nothing for his life!

Ai Xiaohai thought of nothing, had no reservations, his mind focused on one thought:

You hurt me, don't think you can run! You took advantage of me, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life!

He—this madman—did not even try to dodge, but instead took the terrifying, potentially fatal blow from the crocodile's tail!

The spiritual power of the Dragon Spirit Pearl was too late to protect him, but the golden light of the dragon scales flared up!

The tail struck Ai Xiaohai with great force. The golden light emitted by the dragon scales barely managed to resist for a moment before shattering instantly...

Ai Xiaohai's internal organs seemed to shift, blood gushed from his nose, eyes, and ears, and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood.

Blood flowed from all seven orifices, this was true seven-orifice bleeding!

Ai Xiaohai's internal injuries were severe to the point of being fatal! But if not for the golden light of the dragon scales, he would already be dead.

However, he who did not dodge the crocodile's attack landed on the three-meter-long head of the Purus crocodile!

Enough, this was the sole purpose of his life-risking leap!

Ai Xiaohai was racing against death, his injuries were too severe... but he kept telling himself, he couldn't die, he couldn't die! No matter what, he couldn't die—至少现在！

He raised his fist and struck a specific part of the crocodile's head with all his might:

The nose!

From the terrifying sounds and heavy breathing coming from the crocodile's nose, Ai Xiaohai knew this area was rich in nerves, and such areas were often the weakest points of any creature.

The Purus crocodile had almost no weak points, but only almost!

One punch landed, this was Ai Xiaohai's final, concentrated blow before death. If the crocodile's weak point was not here, Ai Xiaohai would have no chance at all!

His judgment was correct!

The nose is always the weakest point of a crocodile, for over a hundred million years, whether it's the current Yangtze alligator, the American alligator, or the ancient Purus crocodile and Spinosaurus, it has always been the same!

The crocodile let out a painful roar, its body jumped, and its tail swung wildly.

Ai Xiaohai held onto a protruding part of the crocodile's head with one hand, and his right hand delivered another seven or eight punches.

The Purus crocodile was in excruciating pain, being out of water for too long had already put it in a very dangerous state, and the human on its head had accurately targeted its fatal weakness, each punch landing with great force.

A large amount of blood flowed from the Purus crocodile's nose, and its movements became increasingly sluggish.

No, this way it would be beaten to death by the human! Back to the water, back to the water!

The crocodile also endured the pain, stopped resisting, and moved its six legs, step by step, with great difficulty, toward the lake.

Such a short distance, in the past it could have reached in a few steps, but now it seemed so far away...

Ai Xiaohai was racing against death, and the Purus crocodile was also racing against death.

Once it reached the water, its energy would be fully restored, and with Ai Xiaohai's current condition, he would have no chance against it.

Ai Xiaohai was well aware of this, so he continued to punch the crocodile's nose with all his might!

The crocodile began to bleed profusely—blood gushed from its massive mouth... its eyes also burst—blood spurted from them as well.

A blood crocodile and a blood-soaked human!

On its back was Ai Xiaohai, completely covered in blood, his condition no better than the crocodile's, making him a true blood-soaked human!

But it still moved stubbornly, and it was getting closer to the water...

Ai Xiaohai's strength was waning, his punches becoming slower and weaker...

The crocodile's speed also slowed...

Just one step away from the water...

Suddenly, the Purus crocodile roared, its body lunged forward with all its might!

It—entered the water!

It's over!

Ai Xiaohai felt dizzy, his internal and external injuries flared up, and he collapsed on the crocodile's head, falling unconscious. But his hand remained on the crocodile's nose, his body still in a fighting stance.

The Purus crocodile finally entered the water, but it had no strength left to move even half a step further...

Both the human and the crocodile were motionless...

But the Dragon Spirit Pearl began to move!

Ai Xiaohai's injuries were too severe, seriously affecting the Dragon Spirit Pearl. A thread of spiritual power struggled to move, inching toward Ai Xiaohai's right hand... very slowly...

But it reached its destination... the unconscious Ai Xiaohai's right hand moved slightly...

A thread of the crocodile's essence flowed into his body through his right hand...

The crocodile sensed this, was greatly alarmed, but it could not move, could not resist. If it just lay there, even with only half its body in the water, it could slowly recover, and by tomorrow, it could move its body back to the bottom of the lake and slowly recuperate.

But now, its essence was being absorbed, how terrifying was this? If it lost its essence, it had no chance of survival.

The damned human, clearly unconscious on its head, why could it still absorb its essence?

The crocodile's essence was absorbed by the Dragon Spirit Pearl, which immediately brightened, its originally dim yellow color becoming more vibrant. Then, another thread of the crocodile's essence flowed in...

The Dragon Spirit Pearl slowly absorbed, and at this time, the twenty-seven dragon scales reappeared with a faint golden glow...

As the crocodile's essence continued to flow in, the Dragon Spirit Pearl was regaining its powerful vitality, and the speed of its absorption gradually increased.

The golden light emitted by the dragon scales became even more beautiful and dazzling, constantly circling around Ai Xiaohai's body.

The Purus crocodile, this ancient giant, had an enormous amount of essence in its body, seemingly endless. But in front of the Dragon Spirit Pearl, which had already recovered to a large extent, no matter how much essence it had, it could still be absorbed.

The spiritual power of the Dragon Spirit Pearl surged, filling Ai Xiaohai's entire body.

"Whoosh—" The body of the Purus crocodile seemed to have a huge gap opened, essence gushed out like a flood!

The Dragon Spirit Pearl did not waste a single bit, absorbing it all!

The last bit of the crocodile's essence flowed into Ai Xiaohai's body... at this moment, the golden light of the dragon scales became even more dazzling, encircling Ai Xiaohai's body. Then, something miraculous happened:

Under the support of the golden light, Ai Xiaohai's body actually left the crocodile's body, floating in the air.

That's right, Ai Xiaohai—flew up!

Not very high, less than half a meter, but he really flew up.

However, the unconscious Ai Xiaohai did not know that such a miraculous thing was happening to him...

The Dragon Spirit Pearl, having absorbed the vast essence of the crocodile, began to heal the extremely severe injuries.

Such injuries—external and internal, so severe that any top doctor would consider them incurable. But as long as Ai Xiaohai had a breath left, the Dragon Spirit Pearl could save him.

The golden light surrounding Ai Xiaohai also cooperated with the Dragon Spirit Pearl, accelerating the healing process by several times.

Such severe injuries would normally take days to heal, but under the golden light of the dragon scales, the healing effect of the Dragon Spirit Pearl was completely unimaginable.

Warm currents flowed through Ai Xiaohai's body, and the injured areas quickly recovered...

When the last injury was healed, the golden light disappeared, and Ai Xiaohai fell from the air. He landed on the crocodile's body, rolled a few times, and then fell onto the lakeshore.

He was still unconscious...

The Dragon Spirit Pearl was preparing to digest the crocodile's essence.

But strangely, the Dragon Spirit Pearl seemed to be considering something, and did not absorb the crocodile's essence that had entered Ai Xiaohai's body. Instead, it collected it all together, forming a green ball.

The green ball, storing all the essence of the Purus crocodile, contained such powerful energy. But the Dragon Spirit Pearl only absorbed a small part, storing the majority in the green ball.

What was the Dragon Spirit Pearl considering?

A thunderclap suddenly echoed in the sky, and the heavy rain that had just stopped began to pour down again.

If the rain had fallen earlier, the Purus crocodile would have escaped its fatal weakness of dehydration, and Ai Xiaohai would have been a dead man. It was just a matter of a little more, and the tide of victory would have turned.

One could say Ai Xiaohai was lucky, but without his indomitable spirit, without the determination to fight to the end even with a single breath left, he could not have achieved this.

Luck always favors those who do not give up.

The heavy rain fell into the lake, onto the ground, and onto the body of the Purus crocodile, but for this prehistoric creature, it was already useless. Its essence was completely drained, and its vital points had been continuously and fatally attacked.

It was finished.

The human was just a short distance from its mouth, but it was helpless, having lost the strength to even move its foot.

At this moment, Ai Xiaohai woke up.
