Chapter 52 The Gap in the Ruins
call--
Wu Ou felt as if he were enveloped in source energy, as if he had entered a 'repair chamber'.
The cells in his body began to greedily absorb the source energy involuntarily, recovering from previous depletion and continuously absorbing this source energy.
"Roar!" came the roar of the Beast King Crocodile.
It turns out that when it passed through the bubbles, the ice cube in its mouth had already broken into pieces, and it naturally regained its ability to make sounds.
But what's most strange is that the human on its body wasn't 'dissolved' by this power!
You should know that when it hunted, the other animals that passed through the bubble had their bodies converted into a large amount of energy, which it absorbed.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to grow so quickly.
Furthermore, those tribespeople, even just by coming into contact with a little bit of the energy here, were able to experience some special enhancements.
Although his skill level has not yet reached his full potential, he has improved considerably compared to others in his class.
Any other animal, whether weak (below level one) or slightly stronger (early stage one), will be dissolved into energy within a short time after coming into contact with the energy here!
"Hehe, aren't you surprised that I didn't die?" Feeling the 'fullness' in every cell of his body, Wu Ou used his arms to tear open the wound that was about to close completely.
The reason he was able to withstand the impact of the pure source energy here was twofold: first, his physical strength had reached the mid-level of the first stage; second, he could control the source energy within his body to consume it in a timely manner to strengthen his physical body or store it, or even consume it quickly.
In this way, they naturally endured it during that brief period of contact.
Not only was it not dissolved due to excessive intake of source energy that the body could not withstand, but it also restored the previous consumption.
"You brought me here, now it's time for you to fulfill your final purpose!" Wu Ou unleashed a burst of gas from his feet, propelling his body toward the Beast King Crocodile.
In the water, he wasn't as agile as his opponent, so he needed to hurry and finish him off!
Faced with Wu Ou charging towards him, the Beast King Crocodile didn't have time to think about why Wu Ou was alright.
It opened its mouth wide, manipulating the surrounding water flow to form ropes that bound Wu Ou from all directions.
However, he was a step too slow, and Wu Ou had already rushed up to him.
The arm condensed into a spearhead, aimed at its open mouth, and thrust upwards!
The liquid nitrogen, which had been prepared in advance, was released and condensed into the shape of an ice cone.
It's easier for ice to form underwater.
A tremendous pain shot through him, and the crocodile king struggled, trying to close its jaws and bite Wu Ou to death.
But these things can only exist in its brain.
boom!
The ice spike pierced the upper jaw of the Beast King Crocodile, and then Wu Ou released explosive gas, which detonated inside the crocodile, blasting open the 'passage' to the brain.
Just like the level 1 crocodile he killed before, the Beast King Crocodile's defenses were breached and its brain was destroyed, so it naturally could not escape the fate of death.
Its enormous body still retains a struggling posture.
Feeling the water flow behind me, the originally 'fierce' momentum transformed into a gentle patter, like the final force of ocean waves dissipating.
The Beast King Crocodile is dead!
Wu Ou breathed a sigh of relief, intending to take the body ashore, dissect it, and extract the source crystal.
But the next moment, the bubble that had seemed about to burst but ultimately remained intact suddenly expanded and swallowed him and the corpse of the Beast King Crocodile.
Watching the carcass of the Beast King Crocodile rapidly transform into source energy liquid, it seemed to be drawn by something, flowing further down into the crack.
"Could this be...?"
Wu Ou thought of a possibility and quickly followed the liquid source energy downwards.
Strangely enough, normally this crack doesn't look very deep, and there should be stronger water pressure as it goes deeper.
However, Wu Ou did not feel any more water pressure; instead, he felt the same energy-rich environment as when he passed through the bubbles earlier.
In about two minutes, Wu Ou followed the trajectory of the source energy liquid and arrived at a gap about the height of a person.
This gap is vertical, as if it were designed specifically for the human body.
This made him even more certain of his suspicions.
Take a deep breath to calm yourself, then take a step forward and pass through the gap.
Sure enough, it looked like it blended into the seawater, but in reality it was a thin film like those bubbles.
Just one step apart can create two completely different environments.
Although it was a bit damp, the surroundings were not only dry, but also oxygen-rich!
"Sure enough, this is a passage." Guided by the glowing moss on the cave walls, Wu Ou moved forward step by step.
On the banks of the Beijiang River, a modified small truck arrived.
Yan Chi, Bai Zhou, Hu Meng, and Su Xue got off the bus together.
"Are you sure this is where the last trace of the Beast King disappeared?" Su Xue asked.
"Don't doubt my skills." Bai Zhou didn't look at her, still holding what looked like a remote control, operating a small drone to conduct reconnaissance.
After the beast tide receded, they calmed the crowd in the mall and then decided to investigate Wu Ou's situation.
The mall was handed over to Xu Rui and his team for arrangements, including communicating with the northern base and transferring people.
Collecting and processing the corpses of the source energy beasts scattered all over the ground will require a lot of work.
In addition, although the source energy beasts that survived last night's beast tide have all escaped, the corpses on this ground will still attract them back.
After all, consuming the corpses of these dead source energy beasts helps them grow stronger rapidly.
Not long after the sun rose, the rats, snakes, and even birds that had escaped the night before began to gather and steal the corpses by 'ambush' them.
There was no other way, so the four of them had to stay there to help. Only after a large part of the work was done did they have time to deal with Wu Ou's whereabouts.
They could sense that Xu Rui, after arranging things at Linjiang Shopping Mall, actually planned to inquire about Wu Ou's whereabouts.
But later, he gave up on that idea, clearly because he was afraid that something might really go wrong with Wu Ou.
In that case, the northern base might not have a good impression of him.
"Don't be too anxious. Since the beast tide dispersed in the end, it seems that Wu Ou has won," Hu Meng said, trying to calm Su Xue down.
"Winning doesn't mean you won't get hurt! Besides, it's obvious that the final battle is taking place in the Beijiang River, that beast's home ground!" Su Xue pointed at the still flowing water of the Beijiang River, her emotions running high.
This left Hu Meng somewhat bewildered; he didn't understand why the other party was so agitated.
"Beep beep beep—"
"There's a response!" Yan Chi looked at the instrument in Bai Zhou's hand, which had just issued an energy change alert.
"A high-energy unit is approaching the shore from underwater!"
