The monster had yet to arrive, but the mouth had arrived first!
The Swamp Crocodile King's gaping maw was even taller than a human, the terrifying fangs that were scattered haphazardly in its upper and lower jaws like daggers stuck in its mouth, showing off their sharpness.
With its frightening bite force and physical strength, the unguarded human acolyte would have had half his body torn off at the first moment.
But what it didn't expect was that the human acolyte actually turned around and threw the Onibaba into its mouth. Then, with a strange twist of his body, he escaped from the jaws of the Onibaba in the blink of an eye.
* Pu … *
With a muffled sound, the Harpy's thin and tough body was torn in two by the Giant Crocodile King. Black, stinky blood flowed along the fangs.
The Giant Crocodile King roared in disgust.
Although it was a magical creature that ate everything, it politely declined these neighbors who were right next to it. Even from the perspective of a magical creature, these Harpies were just too smelly. Usually, it would only consider eating one or two Harpies to sate its hunger when food was extremely scarce.
The Giant Crocodile King shook off the corpse stuck in its mouth, its bell-sized eyeballs immediately catching sight of a human fleeing in a hurry. However, it could be seen that the human acolyte was not very fast. He stumbled along the way, even tripping over hidden puddles from time to time.
The Giant Crocodile King let out a low roar of joy. It shook its huge body, and like a small mountain, it followed the escape route of the Giant Crocodile.
Taking the terrain into consideration, the Swamp Crocodile King was actually faster than the human acolyte, and soon arrived behind 'him'.
As it pounced and bit down, the strange human was actually able to dodge its jaws ingeniously every time. This made it even more enraged, and its pouncing became even more frequent.
Finally, after a successful pounce, the Swamp Crocodile King crushed the humanoid's arm with a single bite. However, what it found strange was that it did not feel like flesh and blood flowing in its mouth, but like it had swallowed a mouthful of mud. In front of it, the shredded robes did not reveal the human acolyte's figure, but an extremely strange humanoid mud doll.
* Hiss … *
The Swamp Crocodile King instantly realized that it had been tricked. It angrily pounced at the detestable bait that had lured it to this point, looking like it was going to tear it into pieces.
Since it had been exposed, the Earth Demon Puppet no longer needed to pretend.
The Earth Demon Centipede tore off the cloak it was wearing and finally brought out its full strength to deal with the clumsy Swamp Crocodile King in a methodical manner.
After all, the Swamp Crocodile King was an aquatic Magical Creature. Even in the murky and filthy swamp, it could move freely like a fish in water, completely unhindered. But on the solid ground, its huge body seemed too clumsy. The hard scales covering its entire body made it look like a rampaging tank. Everywhere it went, grass flew, withered trees snapped, and deep scratches were left on the soft soil.
However, its attacks were too concentrated on its head and tail.
Most of its attack power was concentrated in the fan-shaped area in front of its head. Within this range, its ferocious bite and charge could cause the enemy's soul to scatter. Even its tail, which was covered in scales, could break the enemy's bones and tendons every time it swung its tail.
However, the ribs between its front and rear limbs were the Earth Demon Centipede King's blind spots. If the enemy hid there, it would have to move its body slowly and clumsily, trying its best to bring the enemy into its attack range.
And the damned Earth Demon Puppet had obviously grasped this point. It charged straight to its ribs and attacked its body in a frenzy.
The Earth Demon Centipede King kept hammering the Swamp Crocodile King's hard rib scales with its heavy Earth Fists. It also attacked with Earth Spears, but it was all in vain. The Giant Crocodile King that was covered in thick scales did not care about the damage. It simply spun in a circle, trying its best to twist its bloody mouth to the side, trying to chase away the annoying thing that dared to fight it in close combat.
Meanwhile, the Earth Demon Centipede King maintained the same pace as it, preventing it from reaching it.
The thick scales were a form of protection for the Swamp Crocodile King, but it also greatly limited the range of its crocodile's mouth. The enemy was clearly in front of it, but it could not reach it at all.
Even though the Earth Demon Centipede King had the upper hand, Grimm, who was commanding from afar, did not seem happy at all.
This won't do!
The Earth Demon Centipede King would not be able to cause enough damage if it did not break through its scales. If this continued, it would only end helplessly. The Swamp Crocodile King was currently blinded by anger, which was why it kept tearing at the Earth Demon Centipede King. Once it came to its senses, it would not dare to return to the swamp it was familiar with. The Earth Demon Centipede King alone would not be able to stop it.
Fortunately, Grimm had analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the Swamp Crocodile King before coming here, so he knew its weaknesses like the back of his hand. Under his command, the Earth Demon Centipede King no longer attacked the Swamp Crocodile King's body in vain. Instead, it constantly released "Earth Spears" below its body.
Most of the Swamp Crocodile King's body was covered in thick scales, giving it excellent physical resistance. However, there was still a part of its body that was not covered, and that was its abdomen.
The Earth Spears that constantly shot out not only dealt physical damage, but also earth damage. However, the Swamp Crocodile King was also an earth type magical creature, so it had great resistance to earth damage.
Yes.
Even so, the pure physical damage caused the Swamp Crocodile King to groan in pain.
In the magical swamp, there were almost no magical creatures that could penetrate its thick scales and attack its weaknesses. This was why it was the overlord of this vast swamp. But today, it had encountered this troublesome puppet, and it was very, very hurt.
After the pain, the Swamp Crocodile King remembered that it also had a similar innate ability. It angrily raised its neck and hissed. Thick earth elements instantly filled its body.
"Swamp."
Grimm clenched his fists, trying his best to analyze the Swamp Crocodile King's innate ability. When he discovered that it was a Swamp spell, he could not help but shout excitedly.
This is great, this Swamp Crocodile King is dead for sure!
To be honest, if the Swamp Crocodile King's innate ability was an earth type attack spell or a support spell that increased its defense, Grimm would not hesitate to recall the Earth Demon Puppet and leave. But if it was a Swamp spell, then Grimm's chances of winning today's battle would soar to 70%.
As expected, while Grimm was cheering, an extremely hilarious scene appeared on the battlefield.
The area within 50 meters of the Swamp Crocodile King's body instantly turned into a flowing swamp. If it was any other creature, they would have been caught off guard and would have been stuck in the quicksand, unable to move. With such a large area of effect restriction spell, coupled with the Swamp Crocodile's frightening physical attacks, it ensured that it was the overlord.
Unfortunately, the Earth Demon Puppet was also an earth type creature!
The flowing swamp that other creatures would sink into was like ordinary flat ground to the Earth Demon Puppet. It did not feel anything when it stepped on it. The Earth Demon Puppet's heavy and sturdy body seemed to have suddenly become weightless. It steadily stepped on the quicksand, not even the slightest dent.
Thus, on this slowly wriggling quicksand swamp, the two earth-type creatures started a great show of a cat toying with a mouse.
The Earth Demon Puppet had already given up on the useless Mud Spear Thrust. Instead, it continuously released Earth Spear Thrusts at its opponent. On average, it could cast one every 11 seconds. After all, the Earth Spear Thrust was an area of effect spell. Although the Earth Demon Puppet could not see the softest part of the Giant Crocodile King's abdomen, nor could it see the specific effects of the attack, as long as the Earth Demon Puppet's position was not too bad, it would be enough to injure the Giant Crocodile King.
After fighting for a quarter of an hour, the Swamp Crocodile King could not hold on any longer, and its movements were much slower than before.
It could not attack its enemy for a long time, and instead, its chest and abdomen were in constant pain. This stifling way of fighting made it extremely angry. However, its intelligence also made it understand that if it continued to fight like this, it would really die at the hands of this little guy.
The Swamp Crocodile King no longer fought with the Earth Demon Puppet. It turned around and crawled towards the swamp in the distance.
However, its actions were already predicted by Grim. When it turned its body with difficulty, it discovered that another human in a black robe was blocking its way back. In his hand was a strange accessory in the shape of a spider.
With its keen sense of smell, the Giant Crocodile King smelled the long-lost scent of flesh and blood on the person blocking its way. It could not help but hiss angrily. Facing the instigator of today's plot, it pounced forward in anger, intending to knock the enemy away and escape to its familiar territory.
Unfortunately, in the next moment, a vast expanse of white cobwebs covered its head and stuck to its short and thick forelimbs. At the same time, a fiery red arrow of flame shot out and pierced the top of its long and flat mouth. That was where its head was, and also the place closest to its eyes.
The Swamp Crocodile King suddenly closed its eyes. There was a layer of fine scales on its thick eyelids. Then, it felt a pain in its forehead, and a violent flame engulfed its head.
Its forelimbs were entangled, and its eyes were burning with pain. It could not see anything, and its movements could not help but slow down. As a result, the Earth Demon Puppet beside it attacked even more frequently.
For this battle, Grim had spent all his fortune.
These single-use spider web tools were not cheap, and he felt his heart bleed with each one he used. However, in order to limit the Giant Crocodile King's escape, he could only keep activating them and entangle its limbs.
The Swamp Crocodile King's main body was too strong, and its initial strength was estimated to be above 14. With such strength, each spider web could only restrict it for less than six or seven seconds. If it was not for Grim constantly attacking its eyes with flame arrows, preventing it from opening its eyes, it might really have broken through and escaped back to its nest.
