Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 41 Beast King Crocodile Overlord

Although his current strength far surpasses that of ordinary people, he can still achieve a "unstoppable" effect when wielding a cold weapon and charging into a crowd.

However, when faced with firearms, guns, or even bombs and cannons, there is still a direct feeling brought about by the long-standing 'common sense'.

That is fear!

Da da da da!

The bullets landed on the upright crocodile, but were completely blocked by its scales; only some sparks could be seen.

"Doctor, this guy's defense is beyond the armor-piercing capabilities of our guns!" Su Xue immediately came to Wu Ou's side.

"Hmm, let's keep them occupied!" Wu Ou sighed inwardly. Even though basic production capacity had been restored, the power of those old-fashioned basic firearms was starting to fall behind the times.

Once the ruins are opened to the public and the basic energy transfer structure is obtained from them, energy weapon systems will begin to take center stage. These outdated firearms will have to be phased out, with only some samples remaining in museums.

Meanwhile, Miao Zikai, seeing that Hu Meng and the others were still going to fight despite the guns not being very effective, rushed to Wu Ou's side.

"Dr. Wu! You…" He glanced in the direction of the upright crocodile. "We can't take this risk!"

"There's no risk involved. You can stay here as support." Wu Ou smiled slightly, glanced at him, and patted him on the shoulder.

Feeling the force coming from his shoulder, Miao Zikai's eyes widened slightly, because the force he felt was at the same level as his own.

In other words, Dr. Wu is indeed a special kind of evolutionary being, rather than a pure scientific researcher.

"The Northern Base has so many talented people!"

He was only distracted for a moment when he saw Wu Ou rush forward.

Both hands reach down with metal grips, connecting to the gloves and extending to the forearms.

In an instant, he transformed from a "skinny" scientist into a fierce battlefield warrior.

With a burst of power from his legs, he leaped forward!

A height of ten meters is not Wu Ou's limit at this moment.

Clearly, the upright crocodile hadn't expected that such a small human could jump so high.

Da da da!

Another wave of shots was fired, this time aimed at its face.

This made the upright crocodile afraid to open its mouth.

The outer scales are tough, but that doesn't mean the flesh inside the mouth is the same.

As the human landed on him, he used the momentum to jump and landed right on his mouth.

If it could open its mouth, it would definitely swallow him whole!

But now, it can only try to throw it off by shaking its head.

With a burst of leg strength, Wu Ou charged straight at the eyes of the upright crocodile.

Because it now looks more like an upright crocodile-man, and its eyes are no longer completely on the sides.

This, ironically, becomes their most fatal weakness at this moment!

"Awooo—!"

A sharp pain shot through me; it was the intense agony of my eyes being pierced and my nerves being burned!

The upright crocodile couldn't help but open its mouth, and was then attacked by Hu Meng and the others on the ground.

boom!

With a muffled thud, the brain of the upright crocodile exploded.

Wu Ou's move of injecting a mixture of hydrogen, ammonia, and white phosphorus into the bodies of these energy beasts and detonating it at their vital points was quite effective.

However, it can only be used on level one source energy beasts. Once they reach level two, even the flesh and bone tissue inside their bodies will be greatly enhanced in their ability to resist ordinary attacks, and their basic recovery ability will be the same.

To achieve this result, a special bomb would be needed.

Like a drunkard, the upright crocodile swayed a few times before finally collapsing to the ground.

Wu Ou had already jumped down and landed in a safe place.

"Begin the dissection, including this one." Wu Ou pointed to the giant snake's corpse lying to the side; it had just breathed its last.

"Quick, come and help!" Miao Zikai shouted to his men as soon as he saw the situation.

The fighting prowess Wu Ou displayed just now reminded him of the super soldiers depicted in foreign blockbusters.

I thought I had improved, but now it seems that I am still far behind truly powerful people.

During the battle just now, you said you were not strong enough and dared not go forward, afraid of being a burden. That's fine.

If they don't even dare to come forward to handle things like dealing with corpses or maintaining perimeter security, then they really deserve to be looked down upon.

If you can't demonstrate any value, don't blame others for not valuing you!

Fortunately, Miao Zikai wasn't stupid, so he naturally wouldn't do anything inappropriate.

With the help of Miao Zikai's men, the two giant beasts were quickly separated.

Wu Ou, on the other hand, received three items.

The source crystals of two source beasts, and the gallbladder of a giant snake.

Of course, what was secretly obtained was the essence and blood containing the biological information of both of them.

Just like last time, the giant snake didn't see any special information. Even with his current mid-level first-grade mental strength, he couldn't remember much of the ordinary information.

The crow had its wings structure recorded, while the giant snake had its scales structure.

The upright posture of the crocodile is actually a sign of its adaptation to pressure regulation underwater.

For him, it wasn't entirely useless, but it wasn't something he could use immediately either.

In contrast, one piece of information from the upright crocodile caught his attention.

This upright crocodile wasn't like this from the beginning; it was recently taken to a place by a crocodile energy beast at the Beast King level.

After regaining consciousness, it became what it is now.

Although overall strength did not increase much, 'wisdom' did increase somewhat.

This giant snake was lured here, ambushed, and severely injured.

In addition, one of the previous guesses was correct: it severely injured or even killed the giant snake in order to bring it to the beast king crocodile.

But it naturally doesn't know what use it is.

"Technology modification? That's probably not something he truly possesses."

So, it's probably an energy leak before the relics begin to appear!

Based on the circumstances he encountered before his rebirth, Wu Ou quickly determined the biggest reason.

As for why the Beast King Crocodile would have these minions hunt other powerful source energy beasts, it's because their normal way of improving their strength is also to hunt other animals and grow little by little by digesting the source energy in their bodies.

However, this method is very inefficient. Just like at the northern base, the people in the laboratory also rely on eating the meat of source energy beasts to restore their source energy, but both their own strength growth and the speed of source energy restoration are very slow.

This is especially true for source energy beasts that have already reached the mid-stage of level one.

Unless the giant snake has reached the mid-level of level one and is completely devoured, it is possible to obtain some pure source energy to enhance one's own strength.

This giant snake is still only at the first level.

"So, it's probably not just leaked energy. There's also a special effect that can convert the body of the Source Beast into Source Energy to a certain extent."

Only in this way would that guy try to start hunting these level 1, early-stage source energy beasts.

At this moment, Wu Ou finally realized that the situation of this beast king crocodile was different from that of the elephant king he faced at the northern base before his rebirth!
