Chapter 149 - temporary escape (1/2)
As soon as the strange fish came into contact with it, it lay prone on the riverbed and immediately exerted strength into its limbs, moving three meters to the side like a sea spider. The seadragon fish bit onto empty space and only dug out a pile of mud.
The strange fish shook its large head, spitting out the mud from its mouth. Zero bit the glowing rod into his mouth, and used the military knife as the main support point. At the same time, he also used his Second Order strength strengthening ability, allowing his other hand's five fingers to pierce into the riverbed like steel nails.
As the Sea Dragon turned its head towards him, Zero placed his feet on the riverbed and quickly crawled away from the Sea Dragon Fish. The water was turbulent, and although zero had minimized the friction, it was not easy to get up.
What gave him a headache was that the seadragon fish did not seem to be prepared to let go of him, the guy who had accidentally invaded their domain. Thus, the Sea Dragon Fish acting as the protector turned its body and used its five pairs of long legs to dig into the ground, chasing towards zero.
Fortunately, the body of the seadragon fish was too huge, which meant that it would have to bear more water pressure than zero. This caused the speed of the seadragon fish to be far from zero. However, it had a long stride, which more or less leveled the disadvantage in speed, only slightly slower than zero.
From time to time, this weird fish would use its large mouth, or its asymmetrical pincers to attack zero. Although Zero didn't turn his head, through the changes in the water flow behind him, he was able to pre-emptively evade the sea dragon fish's attack. However, his repeated attacks had no effect and the Sea Dragon Fish was quite infuriated.
Just like that, with one running and one chasing, Zero brought the strange fish to a mountain wall next to the large crevice. In this place, the flow of the water became chaotic. Zero could clearly feel several undercurrents passing by his body. There are many reasons for the undercurrent, but in the river, it is mostly because of the gap in the riverbed or the wall, and because of the air injection, it affects the flow of the current, thus causing the undercurrent.
Now that they were near the mountain wall, they could feel the presence of undercurrents. This meant that there were probably many pores on the mountain wall of the big fissure. That was a good place to temporarily hide from the seadragon fish. With this thought in mind, Zero moved closer to the mountain wall.
At this time, the seadragon fish also came up. Due to its proximity to the mountain wall, the surface of the seadragon fish was far from being pressed down in the center of the water, causing the speed of the strange fish to increase drastically. It had barely managed to bite him a few times, but it was helpless to do it in the water. The M500 revolver on him or Colt was completely useless. On the contrary, the military knife in his hand was a bit more practical.
It was just that the military knife had the effect of stabilizing the body, so it could not be used. He did not want to use it to deal with the seadragon fish. Furthermore, Zero did not believe that a small military knife could pose any threat to the seadragon fish.
Behind him, the water violently gushed out. It was the Sea Dragon Fish that had once again opened its mouth to bite him. This time, the strange fish was ferocious, with half of its leg in the attack range. Zero had no choice but to shrink his leg and bend his body into a ball, allowing the big mouth of the seadragon fish to graze his feet.
The strange fish closed its mouth, and Zero took the opportunity to stomp on the head of the Sea Dragon Fish.
Rank 2 Strength burst forth. The Sea Dragon Fish, which was as big as a buffalo, slightly lifted its body due to Zero's stomp. As for Zero, it borrowed the force of the impact and darted forward, shuttling through the area like a swordfish. Unexpectedly, a strong undercurrent slammed into him, causing him to lose his balance. Fortunately, he immediately plunged his saber into the riverbed, not giving the torrent behind him a chance to rush further away.
Using the glow of the glowing stick, Zero saw an irregular hole in the mountain wall. Air was injected into the hole, forming the intense undercurrent. Su Ming was overjoyed and immediately swam towards the cave entrance. The water in the cave was relatively smooth, only occasionally there were undercurrents, but as long as one was careful, they would not be forced out of the cave. After all, compared to the torrent outside the cave, this undercurrent could still be offset by zero power.
Unexpectedly, after a short while, the seadragon fish unexpectedly also drilled its way in, as if it was not going to give up until it was dead.
