Chapter 18 The Giant Swamp Crocodile (Please continue reading)

Hans realized what was happening in the next second, poured some unknown potion into his mouth, and ran forward without looking back.

Meanwhile, Melo and Karina didn't hesitate and ran off in different directions.

The group scattered like birds and beasts!

Before Hans could even shout, Richard had already drawn his bow and fired an arrow with all his might!

And coincidentally, Richard's arrow was quite accurate, hitting the swamp crocodile right in one of its eyes.

Instantly, the enraged beast flung the half-corpse in its mouth into the air and quickly turned around, staring intently at Richard with its single, bell-like eye!

Instantly, Richard felt a deep resentment and a chill throughout his body!

Seeing Richard still standing there dumbfounded, Meiluo became anxious and immediately turned around and shouted.

"Richard, run! That's a giant swamp crocodile! We can't handle it!"

Richard then realized what was happening and turned to run!

He immediately pulled out a Swiftness Potion from his pocket and drank it down in one gulp.

Suddenly, a bitter, grassy taste filled my mouth, the pungent flavor shooting straight to my head.

But the effect was immediate. Richard's leg muscles swelled and bulged instantly, his veins thickened and turned blue, and he was full of explosive power.

Richard kicked out, sending dirt flying, and his speed increased by at least 50%. Now he ran as if he were flying over the grass!

Meanwhile, the giant swamp crocodile saw the tiny creature that had shot out one of its eyes and was fleeing at top speed.

It immediately let out a huge roar.

"roar!!!"

The sound was so loud, like thunder, that it caused ringing in the ears of people dozens of meters away.

Although the Dead Swamp Crocodile has a huge body that is fifteen or sixteen meters long, it can run very fast.

Looking back, Richard saw the imposing presence of the Dead Swamp Crocodile and finally understood why the group hadn't considered saving Nicholas when they saw it, and hadn't even offered any basic resistance before fleeing!

Large beads of sweat dripped down Richard's forehead like rain.

Although the effects of the Swiftness Potion last for half an hour, Richard's stamina cannot last for half an hour.

Richard frowned, running as fast as he could while racking his brains for a solution, but for the time being, he couldn't come up with a good one.

A counterattack? Richard had just turned around and fired another arrow with all his might, but this time he wasn't so lucky and managed to hit the other eye of the swamp crocodile.

This time, the shot hit the head of the swamp crocodile, but only penetrated about an inch into its skin before it could go no further!

This demonstrates the incredible defensive capabilities of the swamp crocodile.

The opponent's speed still seemed to be slightly faster than his own, even though he was on drugs!

So, when you're exhausted

Richard tripped over a vine, stumbled, and lost a lot of speed!

"Oops!"

However, Richard remained calm and quickly threw his last life-saving item behind him—the stench potion!

The moment the test tube shattered, a foul, fishy stench spread, causing the swamp crocodile with its keen sense of smell to hesitate.

It clearly smelled the swamp dragon.

But after looking around in confusion, I still couldn't see the Swamp Dragon!

The swamp crocodile's hesitation gave Richard a chance to catch his breath and continue his rapid escape!

"Richard, over here!" Mei Luo's shout was like a drowning man finding a lifeline for Richard.

Upon seeing that its prey was fleeing again, the swamp crocodile immediately stopped searching for the swamp dragon.

Instead, it roared and relentlessly chased after the two who had fled.

Richard glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.

Meiluo must have also taken some kind of medicine, but it certainly wasn't Richard's Swiftness Potion.

Because Meiluo's leg muscles did not become larger or thicker; they remained slender and long.

As she ran, she became incredibly light, and with a light tap of her toes, Meiluo could shoot forward several meters.

It was almost the same as the effect of Richard stomping his foot hard on the ground.

Seeing the giant swamp crocodile chasing after her again, Meiluo felt a pang of pain on her face, but she gritted her teeth and threw a blue test tube behind her without hesitation.

"Snapped!"

The sound of shattering glass rang out.

An extremely strong chill, centered on the shattered ground, swept across the surrounding area like a thick white fog.

The giant swamp crocodile, which had been chasing after the crocodile, could no longer stop and plunged headfirst into the center of the icy air!

Instantly, the giant swamp crocodile's eyes widened in terror, and a large amount of white frost and mist condensed on its skin, gradually freezing its entire body.

In less than a few seconds, a large portion of the swamp crocodile's massive body was frozen inside a huge block of ice, with only the head and tail partially exposed!

Richard was overjoyed and immediately reduced his speed.

"Richard, keep running! Ice Bite can only temporarily freeze the Swamp Crocodile, it can't kill it!" Meiluo quickly reminded him from the side.

Ice Bite?

Richard immediately recalled that among the three options his mentor, Seras, had given him, the second one was five bottles of Icebite.

It appears to be a powerful and precious ice-attribute alchemical bomb, extremely valuable.

No wonder Meiluo looked so pained when she threw it out.

At the same time, Richard was also very shocked. The super strong frost damage unleashed by the Ice Bite could not kill this giant crocodile. It could only freeze it to a certain extent. Just how strong is this Dead Swamp Crocodile?

This further solidified his resolve to learn witchcraft upon returning home!

Otherwise, relying solely on archery skills, no matter how superb, would likely be insufficient to kill a powerful monster like the Swamp Crocodile.

Just as Meiluo had said, after Richard and Meiluo had run nearly a hundred meters, the huge block of ice behind them began to crack and break.

Richard turned his head and saw that the giant swamp crocodile had slowly crawled out of the broken ice. Although it was still a bit stiff in its movements, it was not seriously injured.

After glancing at Senior Meiluo's expression, he guessed that the bottle of Frostbite he had just used was most likely her last life-saving item.

Richard hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should invest all his energy points into the crossbow.

If he could further improve his archery skills, although he might not be able to kill the giant swamp crocodile, he was confident he could shoot out its other eye.

Clearly, with the swamp crocodile now blind, he and Meiluo had no chance of escaping.

However, this would greatly change my original plans.

Before this, I wanted to save up the energy points and invest them in the subsequent study of meditation and witchcraft.

Suddenly, a black skull the size of a millstone shot out from the bushes to their right and bit down hard on the giant swamp crocodile behind them.

A skull formed of black mist, seemingly alive, bit down hard on one of the giant swamp crocodiles' thick, short legs and began to suck on it!

In an instant, large gushes of bright red blood gushed out from the gaps in the giant crocodile's shattered scales!

Most of the blood was sucked up by the black skull, while the remaining small portion was spilled freely on the ground.

Suddenly, the wounded swamp crocodile let out a miserable scream!

Moreover, his speed was greatly reduced due to a leg injury.

Meiluo immediately noticed something was wrong, turned around, and exclaimed in shock, "Death Bite!"
