As time went by, the Salamander, who was constantly consuming his energy to launch attacks, gradually showed his defeat. Seeing that his opponent's offensive was gradually slowing down, the Snake Turtle finally started his own counterattack. Just now, he was huddled on the ground and used his spiritual power to maintain the defense of his shell, receiving all the opponent's stormy attacks without any serious damage. After this, he was already confident of victory. What Tianjihong doesn't know is that this back and forth is often the situation in which the two have fought over the years; because he has no intelligence and does not know how to adapt to changes, the Salamander has the upper hand at the beginning with the help of his strength advantage every time, because he follows instinct. He keeps attacking his opponent, but in the end he is always helpless by the snake turtle that shrinks into its shell. He can only wait for the opponent's counterattack in his growing weakness. If it weren't for some other special reasons, the former would have been killed by the snake turtle or driven out of this area a long time ago.
The snake turtle, which had already recovered part of its vitality, decided not to wait any longer. As its soul consciousness locked onto its opponent again, the snake turtle's combat effectiveness was not affected at all by the injured snake tail. I saw that a layer of snake slough instantly appeared at the end of its tail, leaving the scarred outer skin in place; under the movement of spiritual power around the body, the new tail that transformed behind it was stained with sticky liquid and "swish" Extracted from the slough. This shedding of skin can be regarded as an old trick of this snake and turtle. Since he dared to leave the snake tail outside and let the enemy attack, he naturally had his reason; although the new tail that had just transformed needed to be cultivated for a certain period of time before it could grow on the surface. Such colorful snake skin is more than enough to control the body to end the battle at this time.
At this time, Tianjihong in the distance saw that the snake turtle, which was a spiritual beast, finally began to show its power. Something seemed to be condensing in its bulging mouth. It was probably that he almost killed his baby by the stream just now. A fatal move. The soil salamander beside him, who was gradually showing signs of fatigue, also realized the other party's murderous intention, but it was too late at this time; now that he was enveloped by the other party's soul, even if the soil salamander sensed the snake in advance, It is difficult to find a chance to dodge the turtle's attack when it is locked. In the flash of lightning, the snake turtle, which had been passively beaten, suddenly turned around, opened its closed jaws and launched its fatal blow.
From Tianjihong's perspective combined with his own experience just now, this snake turtle obviously has a way of releasing corrosive venom from its mouth. Of course, such liquid will not exist in his body for a long time. It is thought to be a powerful beast skill driven by spiritual power. During battle, the saliva can be converted into a lethal weapon through the dark attribute spiritual power in the body in time, and it can be used through the soul. Use knowledge to control and hit the opponent's vital points directly. However, something slightly different from his speculation was that at this time Tian Jihong observed that what was quickly sprayed out from the mouth of the snake turtle was not the expected liquid substance, but a kind of black liquid between gas and liquid. poisonous fog.
At this time, Tianjihong also seemed to understand that it was actually inaccurate for him to regard the entire water column as the snake turtle's attack. The reason why he was able to escape the snake turtle's beast skills before was not due to his own strength. It was stronger than the soil salamander in front of him, but because the opponent attacked him from the bottom of the water, not only was its offensive slowed down by the obstruction of the stream, but its soul consciousness in the water was also greatly restricted and could not completely lock itself. s position. Judging from the current situation, without the poisonous mist diluted by the stream water, it is obviously more corrosive than the liquid that just splashed on your skin. And if the opponent attacks you while standing on land, I am afraid that I will be like the newt in front of me. I have already been unable to escape and died on the spot.
Even though this light poisonous mist seems to be unable to condense any lethality, this is actually a real killing move that surpasses the previous snake and turtle claw attack. It can already be regarded as an orthodox native spirit beast skill. How can its power be the same as before? And words? Under the huge pressure of the spiritual power surging from its mouth, the poisonous mist in the sky hit the base of the soil salamander's tail like a black beam of light. I saw that the hard scales on the soil salamander, which had only appeared three small wounds under the terrifying claw attack, instantly melted like residual snow in the scorching sun, rising up into wisps of green smoke and a stench mixed with poisonous gas. The breath rolled in all directions. Fortunately, most of the surrounding silt around them had no significant impact. However, around the quagmire, the vegetation that was exposed to the spreading poisonous gas withered, turned yellow, and lost its vitality in an instant. It turned into pools of pus dripping onto the ground.
Tianjihong didn't dare to be careless at this time. He saw that the black mist spreading all over the sky had spread to not far ahead. He who was downwind quickly moved his body to the side to avoid its coverage. At the same time, the poisonous gas that had permeated the entire mire covered the fierce battle between the two in the center. Through the dark mist, only the looming shadow of the soil salamander could be seen dimly; therefore, Tianjihong also He had to move around looking for an area with a wide field of vision so that he could distinguish the direction of the situation in the quagmire in time. After about half an hour, Tianjihong had crossed most of the quagmire and was close to the location where the bloodstain had just been laid. Only then could he barely see clearly the status of the two spiritual beasts in the distance through the gap in the black mist.
Although he had already expected that the newt would suffer a big loss from his opponent's most powerful killing move, the former's tragic situation at this time still made the still young Tianjihong feel a little shocked, and a sickening feeling surged into his chest. . I saw that the soil salamander was cut into two pieces at this moment. The huge salamander tail that had been so powerful and suppressing the opponent until it was breathless was now paralyzed on the ground and lost. activity. Naturally, the gap was not as smooth as a sharp blade. There was not much blood flowing on the two or three feet in diameter gap at the tail and both ends of the upper body, because most of the blood on the surface was eroded by the poisonous mist. It turned into drops of rotten brown-black pus and rolled down into the mire. At this time, the black mist around it has not dissipated, and the incomplete scales at the pitted wounds are twitching feebly, while the smelly flesh and blood wrapped around it are still being ravaged by the mist, and are still moving at a speed visible to the naked eye. Gradually dissolving.
The salamander, whose whole body was covered in fishy liquid, was also twisting its mutilated upper body in pain, trying to shake off the remaining corrosive liquid covering the wound. Suddenly, an area of one foot around him was covered in black water droplets, as if a heavy rain had fallen from the sky. Barely able to get rid of the worries of being further eroded by the poisonous gas, and having difficulty controlling its balance after losing its tail, the newt staggered out of the range of the black mist. But waiting for him outside was his old opponent who was still unscathed and waiting for work. With the wisdom of the snake and turtle, he will not give the newt a chance to breathe at this time. This time, he vows to avenge his shame and ignore his old rival who has always ignored him, but has repeatedly provoked his majestic spiritual beast. Take it in one fell swoop.
Although the Snake Turtle at this time was temporarily in a stage of spiritual overdraft after releasing such a terrifying natural beast skill, his body was still intact and basically showed no injuries; while the opponent was severely injured, and his body was damaged and affected his movements. Under the circumstances, even in the close combat that the latter is good at, it is impossible to pose a threat to himself. Therefore, Snake Turtle is unwilling to wait any longer at this time and is eager to decide the winner quickly. In the previous three fights between the two, they were all too cautious and did not want to get hurt after gaining spiritual intelligence. When they gained the advantage, they thought of playing it safe and waiting for their spiritual power to recover before defeating the opponent in one fell swoop. However, they did not expect to end up delaying due to delay. Too long can lead to accidents. After learning a lesson today, it will never make the same mistakes again.
Seeing the stumbling soil salamander rushing towards him, the snake turtle changed its previous posture of shrinking and defending, directly jumped on all fours, leaped towards the vital parts of the huge body in front of it, and began a series of fierce attacks. This time, the snake turtle was obviously ready to fight for his life. Tianjihong finally saw the huge improvement in body functions after turning into a spiritual beast. The snake turtle, which was not known for its speed, was now moving in mid-air at an unexpected speed. It had already caught up with him; the petite figure kept moving at high speed within the one-meter space around the soil salamander, launching a continuous wave of attacks at the weak spot on the soil salamander's head from all tricky angles.
Under the tearing of the tortoise claws and the biting of the snake's neck, the salamander with only half of its body clearly felt that it was powerless. At this time, it can't even control the stability of its body, and it has lost its most powerful tail in hand-to-hand combat. How can it withstand the opponent's attacks from all directions with its physical strength greatly reduced? Although its upper body was lying in the mud, and its back was still protected by scales that had not been corroded by the poisonous mist, the opponent's speed was far faster than itself at this time, allowing it to find loopholes in its own defense and launch an attack. The main thing is that the strength he is best at has also begun to be suppressed. The opponent is obviously preparing to use overwhelming force to directly flip his body; once his belly and neck not covered by scales are exposed to the opponent, then I am afraid that he will It's really doomed.
Tianjihong couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the defeated Salamander. If the latter didn't hide any powerful trump card, the outcome would have been decided. At this time, even an intelligent creature like him would find it difficult to come up with any comeback. method, the salamander that only relies on instinct to fight is even less likely to stand a chance. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh again. The gap between wild beasts and spiritual beasts was so great that it even exceeded the gap between mortals and monks. Don't look at the soil salamander who had the upper hand in the first half of the game and majestically suppressed his opponent. , but in fact, looking at the whole process, it has no way of causing a fatal blow to the enemy. At this time, the doubts in his heart arose again. He really couldn't imagine how this newt could survive the previous encounter with the snake and turtle.
