Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

Xiang Bei's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Xiang Bei had severely injured the Carcharodontosaurus with a single attack, and naturally had no intention of letting it go.

In the blink of an eye, Xiang Bei's figure rushed out again. The originally heavy spear seemed to have no weight on Xiang Bei in the water, and he wielded it with ease.

Now, only one-eyed Carcharodontosaurus remained, and the madness and hatred in its eyes had long since dissipated.

Instead, a deep sense of fear arose.

He couldn't understand why this insect-like human had suddenly become so strong.

Originally, it was beaten so badly that it had no chance to fight back, and it was about to become its own food to vent its anger at losing its tail.

In the blink of an eye, it was severely injured and on the verge of death!

The Carcharodont could not understand, but its lord-like intelligence told it that now was not the time to fight to the death; it had to escape quickly to have any hope of survival.

So the Carcharodontosaurus decided to abandon its dignity as a dragon and flee for its life.

But just as he had previously prevented Xiang Bei from escaping, Xiang Bei clearly did not intend to give the other party a chance to escape.

The spear transformed once more into a raging serpent, carrying with it a surge of dark currents toward the shark-toothed dragon.

In an instant, blood gushed out, staining the entire body of water red, and large patches of scales shattered.

Then, a transparent hole, as thick as a bowl, appeared in the center of the Carcharodontosaurus's forehead, piercing straight through to the back of its head!

"Whoosh!"

With a single shot, Xiang Bei pierced the head of the Carcharodontosaurus, but instead of retrieving the stubborn corpse of the Carcharodontosaurus, he swam directly towards the surface of the lake.

As a figure quickly emerged from the lake, Xiang Bei collapsed onto the shore, gasping for breath of fresh air.

He had already reached the warning line when he reached the bottom of the lake.

If it weren't for the Carcharodontosaurus's sneak attack, it would have had time to swim to a safe place to breathe.

However, after the appearance of the Carcharodontosaurus, Xiang Bei was forced to engage in a major battle with it.

This caused the already limited oxygen to be consumed rapidly, quickly pushing Xiang Bei's breath-holding time close to its limit.

Later, Xiang Bei attacked recklessly in order to kill the Carcharodontosaurus, causing his already limited oxygen levels to spike again.

Although Xiang Bei later managed to grasp a key point of the Water's Essence under extreme pressure and successfully counterattacked the Sharktooth Dragon.

However, this does not mean that the time you can hold your breath has increased.

The time Xiang Bei held his breath exceeded the warning threshold, causing him to feel a sudden blackout the moment he relaxed slightly after killing the Carcharodontosaurus, and he almost fell down as well.

Fortunately, Xiang Bei managed to quickly reach the surface of the lake thanks to his willpower.

He collapsed onto the shore in a U-shape, breathing in the fresh air and smiling with relief.

Damn! Surviving the jaws of a high-ranking lord-level Sharodon, and even managing to kill it in its own lake, Xiang Bei felt he could boast a little.

However, to Xiang Bei's regret, when he killed the Carcharodontosaurus, rushed out to shore, and relaxed a little, the feeling of spiritual connection with the water that he had experienced in the lake was rapidly fading away.

It's like getting a limited-time trial card while fighting a boss; the effect disappears when the time is up.

However, having experienced it for a limited time, even though the feeling faded quickly, Xiang Bei could still feel a lingering aftertaste.

This gave him a direction to advance in his future understanding of the essence of water.

After all, everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you have the experience of doing it the first time, it will be much easier to do it the second time by imitating the example.

"I just didn't expect that the artistic conception I comprehended would be the artistic conception of water. I thought it would be an artistic conception with a stronger killing aura, such as fire, thunder, or metal!" Xiang Bei laughed self-deprecatingly.

However, he was still recalling the battle in the lake in his mind, intending to use the replay to gain a deeper understanding of the rhythm and essence of water.

Of course, it would be even better if you could grasp even a move or two.

For example, the time he used his spear to pull out the water serpent from the water.

He felt that once he lost the essence of water, using this move would be merely a facade.

After reviewing the events in his mind for about two hours, Xiang Bei sat up from the ground when he felt that his body had recovered considerably.

Xiang Bei raised his wrist, intending to check the time. He realized that he hadn't been back to the training camp for almost a day, which might cause some unrest there.

Even if Thunder Martial Arts Academy doesn't intend to train Xiang Bei, an outsider, they will definitely not let such a genius disappear in the desert go unpunished.

So Xiang Bei decided to see if anyone would contact him.

However, when Xiang Bei checked the smartwatch, his expression darkened.

The smartwatch appears to have been damaged in the recent battle; its surface is covered in cracks, and one section is even missing.

Xiang Bei tried to start it, but there was no response.

This made Xiang Bei's heart sink slightly. The problem with the spaceship in the underground cave was not too bad. He had been there before and could find the spaceship by returning the way he came.

But the key problem now is that without the smartwatch, he has no idea where he is, so how is he going to find his way back to the elite training camp in the desert?

Moreover, without the smartwatch, he also lost his way of contacting the Raiden Martial Arts School.

Moreover, even if the Thunder Martial Arts Academy were to pinpoint the location where his smartwatch signal disappeared, they probably still wouldn't be able to find him.

When he was underground, perhaps because he was buried too deep or because the spaceship itself had a certain signal shielding effect, the smartwatch itself had no external signals.

If the Thunder Martial Arts School were to locate the signal, they would probably only be able to find the two Lord-level Twin-tailed Human-faced Scorpions he killed, along with his backpack and battle halberd.

"This is terrible! I hope the Thunder Martial Arts Academy won't tell anyone I'm dead before I get back!" Xiang Bei thought to himself.

Xiang Bei plunged into the water and cut off a large chunk of Carcharodontosaurus flesh, then cooked it over a fire.

After a fierce battle, he now needs to replenish his strength to move forward in the desert.

Unable to determine his location, Xiang Bei had no choice but to resort to a clumsy method.

That means heading east, directly across the desert to the coast, and then heading north along the coast until you find the coast where the elite training camp students often hunt.

The method is clumsy but effective; finding an elite training camp is entirely possible with a little time.

Moreover, with his god-like speed, it wouldn't take him too long to run at full speed.

As for the carcass of the shark-toothed dragon at the bottom of the lake, Xiang Bei didn't have a good solution either.

We'll just have to leave it here for now. Anyway, even if a lord-level Sharktooth Dragon carcass is stored at the bottom of the lake for a month or two, it won't easily decompose.

Moreover, this area is the territory of the Carcharodontosaurus, so other monsters are unlikely to come to this oasis.

It's not too late to leave the Carcharodontosaurus at the bottom of the lake and come back to retrieve it later.

A high-level lord-level Sharktooth Dragon would fetch at least 300 billion if sold to the HR Alliance.
