That was the only feedback from his arm. Sheyan immediately remembered that when entering this world, there was no notification about pain limitation! This meant that whatever pain his nerves felt, it would be 100% reflected back to his brain!

Borrowing the dim lighting, Sheyan could see two 10 cm deep flesh craters on his right arm, as though two sharp daggers had punctured in before forcefully twisting! It was exceedingly gruesome and vicious!

Suddenly, a shadow of incomparable magnitude surfaced from the dark swampy waters. Indeed, this was an ash black armoured giant creature.

Its scales were as large as basins, while its eyes flickered with ghastly green amidst the darkness of night. Its tail meandered with an ‘S’ shape in the water, as it gracefully and tyrannically swam towards Sheyan!

This was a gigantic crocodile!!

A menacingly powerful creature with at least a legendary tier-5 might!

Even Sheyan with his outrageously fortified defence, could scarcely endure a single chomp from this great beast!

Its fangs were shaped like incredibly malicious barbed hooks, where it had ripped out two long chunks of flesh, that previously belonged within the fleshy craters of Sheyan’s arm. One could even glimpse his eerie white bones from that gruesome wound, as blood flooded out turbulently. Once that numbing sensation had diminished, his wound felt as though millions of tiny knives were stabbing it!

Even his upper arm bone had experienced a 5 cm long fracture into minute bone fragments. With every bit of movement, those fragments would scrape against his muscles; subsequently provoking his nerves to transmit immense agony to his brain.

Meanwhile, Mogensha and the rest had started noticing that within the waters surrounding them, pairs of ghastly green eyes were appearing!

They were pressing forward without issuing a sound or aura.

This was the moment the invaders realized, their group had underestimated the difficulty of this world. Their original plan for a surprise raid had unexpectedly collided with a pack of crocodiles in this deadly marsh!

Under such circumstances, Sheyan immediately frantically shouted to his men. "Run!!!!!"

With their current disposition, it was impossible to defy such enemies. They could only flee in disarray, where the crocodiles definitely didn’t possess intelligence to separately hunt them down. More critically, this was the time for those native aborigines to become useful.

Phrasing it shamelessly, the trio didn’t need to flee from the crocodiles’ assaults. They merely needed to sprint faster than those natives.

Nevertheless, Sheyan still had to deal with a single objective right ahead.

Splatter! Splatter! He stomped down onto the muddy ground, as he fixated his pair of merciless and callous eyes towards the incoming giant crocodile who had locked onto him!

Meanwhile, though the present Reef was incredibly valiant, he was simultaneously dealing with three giant crocodiles, where the pressure on him was not inferior to Sheyan at all! Therefore, Sheyan temporarily discarded the notion of converging up.

Breathing deeply, his calves were drowned inside the cumbersome and viscous watery mud. Behind him, was a savage great beast that wanted this life. Nevertheless, he compelled himself to remain composed.

As the insatiable giant crocodile pressed in while camouflaging like a snake within the black muddy waters, Sheyan shut his eyes. Since it was hard for his vision to identify, he attuned his hearing and perceptive sense as a replacement.

Piank! Sheyan hurled out a flask of curse-mix as it shattered, releasing greenish fumes out. However, he immediately received a depressing notification.

[ This Deathmarsh Great Crocodile is immune to some of the effects of your curse-mix ]

Fortunately, when the curse-mix shattered, the movement speed declining effect was still present, which allowed Sheyan to have a sigh of relief.

The great crocodile had already submerged completely into the water. Yet in the next second, a regiment of churning turbid mud bubbled turbulently, as the accumulation of centuries of foul stench came assailing his nostrils first; compelling him to nauseate.

Frowning, Sheyan’s feet remained deeply rooted in the mud as his body moved. Drawing out his saber with a single hand, an oceanic-blue blade ray came whirling out from his waist!

Like a whip, it viciously lashed against the head of the giant crocodile, who had lunged out towards Sheyan’s right.

With this single slash, the crocodile’s attacking impetus was deviated aside, as this savage giant beast unexpectedly smashed back down into the swampy water. A pulse of piercing stench slipped past Sheyan’s side, as his body was soaked by the resultant splash, causing him to lose his balance.

This Deathmarsh Great Crocodile then released a furious and terrifying grunt. Ever since it was born, it had never received such insult!

Except, who was Sheyan? After gaining the upper hand, he immediately seized this opening that the giant crocodile had displayed.

Though his calves were still lodged in mud, he took a deep posture, as his monstrous contestant strength propelled him to leap up from this nasty terrain. Landing atop the crocodile while holding his long saber on his left, he hacked down mightily!

As that Deathmarsh Great Crocodile grunted, large volumes of putrid swamp water were forcibly swallowed into its throat!

Sheyan’s incoming blade then struck the exact spot he had slashed earlier. Kacha! The thick crocodile leather finally split open, as Sheyan’s long saber cleaved into its spinal bone.

Lodged firmly in the crocodile’s solid spine, he only managed to retract his saber after strenuous efforts. Blood gushed out and drenched Sheyan entirely.

Raising his incredibly lethal dark-blue ‘+7 West’ long saber, he proceeded to stab viciously into the giant crocodile’s body! Blood instantly splattered out again!

His blood-thirsty long saber flashed with bewitching blue brilliance, seemingly laughing indulgently amidst this bloodshed.

Right now, Sheyan had mounted this giant crocodile, as he tightly gripped the shaft of his blood-thirsty weapon and pulled it out forcefully again. Repeating the same act, he hacked down once more!

However, Sheyan had committed a huge error in this moment.

To an ordinary mortal, this could be described as a fatal mistake! This was a crocodile, not a tiger, lion, horse or wolf where their backs were their blind spot! When hunting, a crocodile’s most deadly and adept weapon wasn’t their frightening sharp jaws, but their incredibly brutish humongous tail covered with steel-like scales!

Regrettably, though a crocodile had long jaws and razor-sharp teeth, they had thecodont teeth. Though such teeth could rapidly regrow after dropping, it didn’t possess great strength to rip apart prey to chew. Therefore, the capabilities of its long herculean jaws were lessened. Without being able to rip apart prey, it could only chomp down on its prey like pliers or swallow them whole.

Hence, when crocodiles pounced on large land mammals, they wouldn’t be able to munch them to death. Instead, the crocodiles would drag the mammals into the water to drown them. Vice versa, when crocodiles capture larger sea creatures, they would toss them onto dry land to suffocate their prey.

When encountering large prey that they needed to rip apart to swallow, the crocodiles would frequently crunch them within their jaws, and smash them ferociously against rocks or trees; until their prey was decimated into small chunks before devouring them. If that didn’t work, the crocodiles would bluntly leave their prey aside, allowing it to decompose naturally to a suitable size for their avaricious consumption.

Yet once these savage beasts encounter enormous preys, like water buffalos where their jaws would be ineffective, they would silently lay ambush inside the water. Then, with sudden explosiveness, they would ferociously flog the heads of those animals with their brutishly large tails. Apart from possibly stunning their prey, this move would cause their preys to lose balance and topple over. According to statistics, the tail whip of an ordinary crocodile against enemies could reach surpass a speed of a horrifying 180 km/hr!

Moreover, Sheyan was presently squaring off with an invincible tier-5 legendary Deathmarsh Great Crocodile. Its capabilities definitely surmounted ordinary crocodiles by over ten folds! The agony it felt would only fuel the speed of its vicious tail whip, with a might that was simply inconceivable!

Sheyan shivered as he abruptly felt like a 12-grade hurricane was swooping in, a sensation that was utterly impossible to dodge!

As his ‘+7 West’ once again heavily pierced into the bloodied flesh of this giant crocodile, his vision suddenly blanked. Simultaneously, his breathing halted as he lost control of his body!

Then, he realized his body was soaring through the clouds and mists before crashing down.

After soaring for over ten metres, he crashed down like a divine emergency crash landing of a plane; only halting after tumbling for 5-6 metres along the turbid swamp waters.

After regaining his senses, Sheyan utterly disregarded the agonizing pain of a body full of broken. He grasped this golden opportunity and immediately scrambled forward and took flight ahead.

At present, though Sheyan’s condition was exceedingly pathetic, his consciousness was doubly clear. The offense, defense and vitality of that legendary tier-5 Deathmarsh Great Crocodile were inevitably redoubtable. Possibly, its only weakness resided in its predictable agility and movement speed.

Instead, this wetlands terrain was incredibly restrictive towards Sheyan’s movement, while it amplified the Deathmarsh Great Crocodile’s movement. Therefore, this complemented the only shortcoming of this crocodile.

At this moment, Sheyan discovered that after receiving two trifling attacks, his HP had actually fallen beneath 50%. In addition, he had contracted two different type of disease. Right now, his current position was 30-40 metres away from Mogensha’s group, while between them were another 2-3 Deathmarsh Great Crocodiles.

Without a doubt, forcing his way through to group up with them would require him to endure 2-3 times of repeated assaults by those Deathmarsh Great Crocodiles.

Even if he made it through, it would simply be adding the pressure of an additional giant crocodile; what more, an injured and berserk one!

Knowing that to be unwise, Sheyan immediately pulled out ‘Ambition’, and pointed towards the nearest Deathmarsh Great Crocodile before pressing the trigger.

Attempting to shift its attention towards himself, Sheyan activated the inevitable hit property of its ‘Rum & Songs’ ability, and turned to flee without observing the outcome of his shot!
