Chapter 148 - 148 Fruit of Life
148 Fruit of Life
Lin Sen pondered in his heart. After a while, he shook his head. “Forget it. Let’s continue forward. I’ll just be careful.”
With this thought in mind, Lin Sen continued to go deeper.
The rest of the journey was smooth sailing. He only encountered some normal wild herbivores and did not meet with any danger.
Finally, Lin Sen walked out of the strange swamp and arrived in a valley.
This valley was extremely vast and dense with vegetation. Moreover, it was very suitable for living. The environment here was incomparably beautiful. Birds chirped and the fragrance of flowers hung in the air. It was like a paradise.
However, there was a terrifying killing intent hidden in this beautiful scene.
In the center of the valley was a huge empty field. At the end of the empty field, an ancient and towering tree stood there. Its trunk was ten meters thick and covered the sky like a huge umbrella.
There were three flower buds on the trunk of the ancient tree.
Each of the three flowers was the size of a millstone. Their petals were crystal clear and emitted a bedazzling glow that was intoxicating.
These were the Fruits of Life. Each of them carried a powerful aura of life, and they were all perfect.
Lin Sen’s breathing quickened. His heart was beating wildly and he was incomparably excited. His eyes were red as he greedily stared at the three Fruits of Life.
“If I eat these three fruits, perhaps I can break through to the peak of the second class… ” Lin Sen muttered to himself.
“But… there should be a guardian beast here, right?” Lin Sen’s expression was solemn. He did not need to think to know that there must be some extremely powerful ferocious beast guarding them. Lin Sen did not want to fail miserably.
Lin Sen carefully observed his surroundings but nothing appeared.
Soon, the sky gradually darkened. Lin Sen remained in his original state, not daring to move at all.
Night fell, and darkness enveloped the ground. A dense fog filled the valley, making one’s heart tremble.
Lin Sen also became much tenser because the feeling became more and more obvious, as if something was about to jump out from the dark and attack him!
Roar!
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from a distance in the valley. The entire valley shook violently, as if it was about to collapse. Lin Sen slipped and almost fell.
The sound was too loud, making one tremble in fear. It was as if a ferocious beast had appeared.
Lin Sen held his breath. He knew that the real critical moment was coming!
Boom!
In the next moment, another roar came from the distance. This time, the sound was even more intense. Even Lin Sen could hear the sound of metal rubbing against each other. It seemed to be caused by steel colliding.
Crack! Crack!
This time, Lin Sen noticed that the ferocious beast had been lying dormant under his feet!
It was an incomparably huge crocodile. Its entire body was covered in black scales that flickered with a pitch-black light like steel. Its two huge claws were ferocious. At this moment, it raised its head and opened its bloody mouth. Its scarlet tongue extended and flickered with a cold light.
Its eyes were cold with bloodthirstiness and ruthlessness as it stared fixedly at Lin Sen as if it was venting its anger.
“D*mn it!”
Lin Sen cursed softly. The appearance of this giant crocodile had ruined his plan. Moreover, the current situation was not in his favor.
Although Lin Sen’s physique was strong and he had great strength, there was still a big gap between him and this huge creature.
Roar!
The giant crocodile roared at the sky and rushed towards Lin Sen at lightning speed.
Swish!
Lin Sen’s figure was agile as he dodged extremely quickly. At the same time, he waved his fist and smashed it at the giant crocodile’s neck.
Bang!
With a muffled sound, the giant crocodile actually received Lin Sen’s fist head-on without being injured at all.
Roar!
The giant crocodile displayed its might. It opened its bloody mouth and a stench assaulted the nose as it bit at Lin Sen.
Lin Sen suddenly retreated, widening the distance between him and the giant crocodile. At the same time, he waved his arms, and the branches of the Kabbalah Tree of Life instantly wrapped around a huge rock and smashed fiercely into the giant crocodile’s cheek.
Thud!
The giant crocodile let out a tragic cry and felt dizzy from the impact. It staggered and fell to the ground, blood flowing from the corner of its mouth.
Lin Sen seized the opportunity and instantly shot up. His palm turned into a dragon claw and suddenly stabbed into the giant crocodile’s hard skin, creating a few holes and causing blood to spurt.
Aah!
The giant crocodile wailed. Its injuries were not serious. It quickly got up again and tore at Lin Sen crazily.
The beasts’ attacks were extremely ferocious. It was powerful and its claws were sharp. Lin Sen could not match it at all.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Lin Sen executed the exquisite moves of Wave-like Subtle Steps and moved left and right to dodge the crocodile’s attacks.
However, the giant crocodile’s reaction speed was too fast. It captured Lin Sen’s movements time and time again and then attacked with all its might, putting Lin Sen in danger.
“This beast is indeed powerful.” Lin Sen smiled bitterly to himself.
This giant crocodile was indeed a Legendary-grade ferocious beast. It was ridiculously strong.
However, Lin Sen was also confident. After all, his various attributes were crazily high. Even if he was only at the Gold grade, he was confident in killing this ferocious beast!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The giant crocodile’s sharp claws kept slapping over. Lin Sen tried his best to block them. The clothes on his body shattered into pieces, revealing his firm muscles that were filled with explosive strength.
Roar~!
The giant crocodile roared angrily and suddenly jumped up. Its huge tail swept out, bringing with it a terrifying wind as it slashed at Lin Sen, wanting to slice him in half.
Lin Sen’s expression was solemn. He knew that he could not fight it head-on. He immediately circulated his Qi, and the veins on his arm bulged. He punched out, aiming for the seven-inch area of the giant crocodile.
Bang!
Lin Sen’s fist landed on the giant crocodile’s body, raising a ball of sparks, but it did not cause any damage to it.
The giant crocodile’s defense was extremely strong. Lin Sen did not expect that he would not be able to break through it.
This made Lin Sen frown. If this continued, he would probably fall into an extremely passive situation.
Roar!
Seeing that Lin Sen’s attacks were ineffective, the giant crocodile immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. It pounced over again, wanting to devour Lin Sen.
Lin Sen narrowed his eyes. He bent his right leg slightly and accumulated strength. Then, he suddenly stomped and his body soared into the air.
With the help of this stomp, Lin Sen’s figure soared into the air and lashed out a whip kick at the back of the giant crocodile.
Crack!
The giant crocodile’s body tilted from the kick. Then, Lin Sen’s body fell again and ruthlessly stepped on its tailbone.
The giant crocodile cried out in pain. Its body sank and it almost fell to the ground. Its tailbone was injured, and its strength was also weakened.
Lin Sen did not give it a chance to catch its breath. He immediately chased after it and kicked the giant crocodile’s side, causing its huge body to move a few meters horizontally and crash hard into the mud.
