Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 79 Unexpected Attack

If Yang Ping'an was extremely nervous and excited, then the Dragon Lord in the shadows was filled with astonishment.

Recently, Long Gong has been watching Yang Ping'an search for soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. In particular, Yang Ping'an has been staying in the mixed zone for a long time. He is really too bold. You should know that even Long Gong himself does not like to stay in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest for a long time. Some soul beasts even he finds dangerous.

But Yang Ping'an seems to be getting more and more outrageous. He even went so far as to chase after the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, the One-Horned Thorn Dragon. Does he want to get a ten-thousand-year-old fourth ring?

However, Yang Ping'an was particularly cautious, and he was very careful throughout the entire process. In particular, his purple-gold mastiff seemed to have an extremely keen sense of smell, and it was able to avoid the soul beasts in advance.

Originally, Long Gong thought Yang Ping'an was a very good person who was cautious and prudent, but he found that Yang Ping'an actually dared to suddenly launch an attack and participate in a war at the level of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. He simply didn't know what death meant.

However, as Yang Ping'an made his move, Long Gong became even more surprised. This kid's methods were endless, and he seemed to have quite good combat power.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an ignored the ferocity of the Golden Crocodile King and instead used all his strength to quickly turn the winch, wanting to use the ballista again.

But this golden crocodile king was more ferocious than he had imagined, and even stronger. All those steel nets only delayed him for a few breaths before being torn apart by the golden crocodile king in no time.

Yang Ping'an's first arrow struck the Golden Crocodile King in the eye when it was off guard, but the second arrow was not so lucky. Clearly, the Golden Crocodile King was prepared and dared to use the scales on its head to defend itself.

The iron arrow pierced the golden scales, but only five centimeters in, which was not enough to cause any fatal damage.

At this moment, the Golden Crocodile King had broken free of the steel net and seemed to desperately try to pounce on the human who had ambushed him.

The moment Yang Ping'an's Golden Crocodile King pounced, a third iron arrow shot out again, this time directly towards the Golden Crocodile King's gaping maw. The iron arrow flew like a beam of light, swiftly rushing into its mouth, even producing a metallic clang.

The iron arrow finally struck the Golden Crocodile King's lower jaw, piercing through the entire jaw, and the whole arrow was stained with blood.

But at this moment, the Golden Crocodile King had become extremely frenzied, completely disregarding its injuries and lunging directly at Yang Ping'an, with the two only five meters apart.

Yang Ping'an gritted his teeth, and his right hand flashed with soul power, instantly forming what looked like a dragon claw. This was Yang Ping'an's right arm soul bone skill: Dragon Flood Claw.

As Yang Ping'an unleashed a full-force attack using his right arm soul bone skill, he directly grabbed the Golden Crocodile King's massive nose, instantly covering his right hand in blood.

However, the Golden Crocodile King was extremely powerful. Although Yang Ping'an avoided the giant mouth's attack, he was sent flying seven or eight meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He was obviously seriously injured, and the ballista that was originally placed on the ground was shattered.

But at this moment, the Golden Crocodile King was clearly filled with murderous intent towards Yang Ping'an, wanting to tear this human to pieces.

Yang Ping'an wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his whole appearance seemed to become even more ferocious. He even couldn't help but laugh, after all, he hadn't been attacked at this level for a long time.

Yang Ping'an instantly used his third soul skill, Dark Gold Demon Bear Transformation, which greatly enhanced his strength and all other aspects of his body.

Now Yang Ping'an is determined to fight this Golden Crocodile King seriously. If this Golden Crocodile King were in its prime, he would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word.

But now this Golden Crocodile King has already fought a great battle with the One-Horned Thorn Dragon, and even with its formidable strength, it still has quite a few wounds on its body.

Moreover, after being ambushed repeatedly, three iron arrows were embedded in his body, even piercing one of his eyes. These iron arrows were also coated with a potent poison that he had specially prepared. As long as he could hold on, this Golden Crocodile King would surely die.

Especially in terms of speed, Yang Ping'an observed the Golden Crocodile King fighting for so long and clearly understood that its speed on land was significantly lower than that in water. After all, its limbs were too short, and it was impossible for it to move forward as quickly as a snake.

When the Golden Crocodile King missed its pounce, it swung its massive tail at the ground with the force of ten thousand pounds, creating a huge crater in the ground.

Yang Ping'an, on the other hand, did not engage in a direct confrontation with the Golden Crocodile King. Instead, he used the amplification of his soul skills to quickly dodge attacks and occasionally launch counterattacks.

I have the advantage now, so there's absolutely no need to fight the soul beasts head-on.

After the golden crocodile king attacked several times, Yang Ping'an quickly dodged each time. He decided not to fight it head-on, refusing to believe that the golden crocodile king had an endless supply of blood, and refusing to believe that his poison would not kill it.

For this hunt for the Soul Ring, Yang Ping'an specially prepared a variety of highly poisonous herbs, all of which were top-grade poisonous herbs he found in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Although Yang Ping'an couldn't refine hidden weapons like Tang San's Yama Body, he had read countless books on herbs and had a certain understanding of toxins.

This time, they directly selected some highly poisonous herbs and applied them all to the iron arrows. In particular, each type of poisonous herb has a different effect, so there is bound to be one that will work on the Golden Crocodile King.

As the battle continued, the Golden Crocodile King, which was originally full of gorgeous golden color, seemed to have its aura faded and its luster lightened. Even the blood that was flowing out gradually changed from red to green, making it look a bit sinister and terrifying.

Yang Ping'an understood that the golden crocodile king was probably at its last gasp. The main thing now was to prevent it from escaping into the water. If it did manage to get into the water, it would be troublesome.

This golden crocodile king clearly possessed a certain level of intelligence. After fighting Yang Ping'an for nearly ten minutes, it seemed to understand the human's plan.

He roared and lashed out at Yang Ping'an with all his might with a huge crocodile tail, then used all his strength to run desperately toward the stream.

But Yang Ping'an would never let him leave. He had gone to such great lengths; how could he let him escape?

Yang Ping'an pushed his speed to the limit and quickly blocked the Golden Crocodile King's path toward the stream.

But the Golden Crocodile King suddenly paused, and by relying on the gripping force of its limbs, it managed to stabilize itself. Then, it lunged forward with all its might, its huge mouth snapping at Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an was surprised. He hadn't expected the Golden Crocodile King to have such a strong fighting spirit. It was indeed a top-grade soul beast. Even while running away, it was thinking of killing him in advance.
