Warlord Chapter 149 - temporary escape

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.

After being in the water for so long, the penetrating wounds caused by Parkland's killers had already begun to worsen. Zero's right side was starting to feel numb. If he couldn't get out of the water and deal with the wound in a short period of time, even if he managed to survive, he would cause an unrecoverable hidden injury in the future.

The air in his lungs was also a troublesome problem. From the moment he entered the water until now, he had never taken a breath of fresh air. If he could not find an exit, he would drown in fear.

The sound of water was loud behind him as the seadragon fish chased him.

After leaving the rapidly flowing underground waters, the water flow in this space did not cause much disturbance to the Sea Dragon Fish. The strange fish waved its long, sharp legs, as if it was flying, and slowly approached zero. With a speed of zero, it was impossible to shake off this strange fish. He gritted his teeth and suddenly retreated in the direction of the fish's belly.

The seadragon fish did not expect Zero to do this. Its life was not short, and it had yet to encounter any life-threatening prey that would crawl under its body. This mutated creature that did not have much intelligence did not have an idea at the moment. Instead, the zero hiding under its body used a military knife to stab into one of its sharp joints.

The military knife cut across and cut off the pitiful amount of muscle fibers and nerves in the joints.

Under the pain, the monster's feet and legs were in disarray, causing the soil in the cave to fly in all directions. The originally unclear water area became even more turbid.

Zero took the opportunity to swim away. After about five meters, the monster fish started chasing after him. But this time, the Sea Dragon Fish was injured and could not move as fast as before, gradually increasing the distance between them.

The farther up this hole was, the smaller the space became. In the end, only one person would be able to pass through as the two walls shrunk. The seadragon fish was in a hurry to catch up, but when it made its way out of the gap, it suddenly crashed into it.

A tremor immediately came from the water. Many of the stone chips fell off after being hit by the strange fish. However, this mutated beast had stuck half of its head in its mouth.

Zero looked back and saw the weird fish shaking its head. After a long while, it finally broke free. The two tentacles continued to point in the direction of zero. However, the Sea Dragon Fish that knew that it was impossible to pass through let out a dull cry and could only turn around to leave.

Zero let out a sigh of relief and continued swimming upstream. When he was less than three meters away, he broke out of the water and breathed in the air. Even though it was not fresh, there was still a musty smell coming from it.

Zero lifted his glow stick and looked around to find himself in a puddle. In front of him, the ground tilted upwards, and further in, it was hidden in the darkness. However, it was obvious that this cave was not small at all.

He quickly swam over and crawled out of the water on his hands and knees. He then lay down on the wet ground and panted.
