Chapter 314 Cost Transfer
Chapter 314 Cost Transfer
The moment the starburst javelin pierced his enormous body, Xu Si's pupils constricted sharply.
Contrary to expectations, there was no energy annihilation or bloodshed – instead, the dark green, turbid current from the deep pool flowed back into the pierced wound as if it had a life of its own, instantly filling the void.
The severed giant tail was covered with countless tiny fleshy buds that grew and intertwined wildly, and within a few breaths, it was completely reformed.
Not even a single scratch was left on its grayish-brown skin.
Only the sudden, sharp shriek, like the wailing of ten thousand ghosts, proved that the attack had indeed been effective.
[Abnormal self-healing].
As expected, unlike the "water conversion" characteristic of the water-eating fish, it is a real, almost immortal physical regeneration!
What about "aquatic assimilation"?
What are its characteristics?
However, [Water Devourer] was completely enraged.
"Gurgle—!!!"
A deep, muffled roar, so powerful it shook the entire cliff, exploded from underwater.
The gluttonous butcher finally raised its massive head completely, revealing two rows of huge teeth like jagged reefs, with dark green venomous saliva dripping from between them, emitting a strong corrosive smell.
For the first time, its deep green eyes, hidden beneath thick folds of skin, truly locked onto Xu Si high in the sky.
Then, to Xu Si's astonishment, it completely lay dormant at the bottom of the water.
Its mountain-like body completely disappeared on the surface of the water.
This was clearly an attempt to evade Xu Si's targeting from high above.
This Level 5 anomaly exhibits intelligence comparable to that of humans.
Despite losing air superiority, it was not blinded by rage.
Xu Si did not act rashly.
Star Eyes locked onto the massive shadow below that had once again sunk into the dark green pool.
He could sense that the lurking malice had not diminished; on the contrary, it was brewing an even more terrifying eruption beneath the turbid current.
"Water bodies swallowing...water assimilation..."
Xu Si quickly analyzed the known characteristics in his mind.
The attack just now proved that pure physical penetration and energy annihilation have limited effect in the face of the opponent's terrifying and abnormal self-healing ability.
Perhaps the only way to end this Level 5 anomaly is to use the "Star Sacrifice" move again.
If that's the case, Xu Si's wish to have a strange fall will be dashed.
As for purification points, he didn't need to take such a big risk.
Just as Xu Si was deep in thought, the deep pool below suddenly changed dramatically!
It wasn't Xu Si's imagination; the water in that pool was rising at an incredible speed.
The enormous figure of the [Water Devouring Greedy Slaughter], which had sunk into the water, also disappeared without a trace.
The deep pool suddenly boiled.
A huge, dark green vortex even swirled in the center of the deep pool.
What left Xu Si speechless was the sight that appeared as if the dark green turbid stream had come to life. It defied the laws of physics and surged upwards in a manner that engulfed everything!
The target was Xu Si.
It appears that the entire "waterway" is rising.
Tens of thousands of tons of water in the pool condensed into two enormous, dark green hands that covered the sky.
The lines on his palm were clearly the outlines of countless intertwined and writhing water-eating fish, which slammed down on Xu Si, who was suspended high in the air, in a gesture of clasped hands!
Could this be aquatic assimilation?
This guy can actually turn the entire area of water he has devoured and assimilated into an extension of his own will, and launch such a terrifying attack!
This reminded Xu Si of Chen Pei's "summer like a waterfall" characteristic.
The two are remarkably similar, but their power is incomparable.
Before the giant hand even arrived, the stench of decay and the immense pressure of a mountain rushed towards us, and the air was compressed to the point of groaning under the unbearable weight.
Xu Si's pupils shrank sharply, and Ya Ya had already stumbled away from this place of trouble.
Xu Si tried to dodge, but it was too late.
【Heavy Shoes】Instantly stepped on the gravity anchor point, his figure turned into a blurry scarlet afterimage, narrowly missing the gap between the giant hand's closed fingers!
The first leap was a close call, but it was a success.
boom--!!!
Two giant hands clenched tightly in mid-air, creating not only a deafening explosion.
Countless dark green poisonous water arrows shot out from it, covering a space of hundreds of meters in radius!
Xu Si spun around quickly, the Sword of Punishment leaving a scarlet arc of light around him, shattering and evaporating the incoming poison water arrows.
A pungent, corrosive odor filled the air, and the water jets that had been cut down fell back into the rising water below, making a hissing sound.
The first attack missed, and an even more furious roar came from the depths of the pool.
The raised giant hand did not dissipate; instead, its five fingers spread open, and the water in the center of its palm swirled violently, forming a bottomless whirlpool.
At the center of the vortex, an irresistible suction force suddenly erupted!
The water swallowed it!
Xu Si's body suddenly froze, as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed his ankle and dragged him downwards.
The surrounding air became thick and heavy, and the [Sword of Punishment] was completely out of control.
[The Shoes That Are Heavy] Stepping onto the spatial anchor point for the second time.
brush!
Xu Si flashed away, narrowly escaping the vortex.
The second leap was even more dangerous than the first.
"Trying to drag me down?" Xu Si's eyes blazed with starlight as he soared into the sky on his sword.
However, [Water Devourer] has not given up on killing Xu Si.
A strange creature, slightly smaller than the [Water Devouring Greedy Butcher] but looking exactly the same, suddenly sprang out from the enormous vortex and lunged at Xu Si.
"There's another trick up your sleeve?!"
The series of changes interrupted Xu Si's chance to retaliate; everything happened far too quickly.
Level 5 anomalies are indeed not easy to deal with.
Even though he's flown this high, this guy can still use his brain.
Indeed, the strange and mysterious things in the world should not be underestimated.
At this moment, Yi Yi's malice instincts made Xu Si realize that something was wrong.
Could this guy be the real form of [Water Devouring Greedy Slaughter]?
Is that a big deal?
This time, he did not choose to use his last jump opportunity.
On one hand, the water that had just been swept into the sky began to fall back and gather momentum, completely exposing this guy and making it unable to take advantage of the momentum;
On the other hand, this guy was too fast, and Xu Si was more interested in his fall.
As the starlight protected him, Xu Si activated the Time Freeze ability without hesitation.
Three seconds is both extremely short and extremely long.
It was even enough for Xu Si to browse through the entirety of [Water Devouring Greedy Slaughter].
The extremely brief stagnation effect gave Xu Si ample time to completely envelop the guy with Star Guide.
Starlight began to spread from its massive jaws, covering its cheeks, back, tentacles, and red tail, until it completely enveloped them.
Like an unparalleled behemoth caught in a fishing net.
'Cost Transfer'
The three-second freeze effect ended.
Xu Si directly applied the negative effects of the time freeze effect to [Water Devourer].
The [Water Devouring Greedy Slaughter], which had been struggling wildly just moments before, seemed to be severely injured and gradually lost its vitality.
This rapid aging effect cannot be forcibly reversed by "abnormal self-healing".
This was also the only way Xu Si could think of to obtain the strange drops without using "Star Sacrifice".
However, rapid aging is clearly not enough to kill [Water Devouring Greedy Slaughter].
Its strong and vigorous vitality is also the basis for its ability to withstand the cost of the [Time Badge].
In the past, when dealing with the supernatural, Xu Si was always worried that the negative consequences of rapid aging would be unavoidable.
The excess that those guys couldn't resist would be fed back to them.
However, it seems that the Time Badge can be used as a regular tool in the future.
This cost transfer should be quite effective against level 5 weirdness and even higher.
Suddenly, he even considered moving up the ranking of the [Time Badge].
The higher the price, the better.
That way, he can use it with ease.
This move guarantees at least one serious injury.
As for those below level 5 Weirdness, they might die instantly.
However, if you encounter some plants that are fragile and cannot withstand hardship, you may still accidentally hurt yourself.
With my current strength, I am more than capable of dealing with level 4 monsters.
There's no need to take that risk.
