Chapter 145: The River Turning Crocodile
Chapter 145: The River Turning Crocodile
The five of them swam swiftly towards the shore like a flock of sheep being herded, their pace quickening.
Although they were not slow, compared to the unknown Dominator Beast, their speed was still far from sufficient.
This won't do; if this continues, they'll be caught up to in no time.
Li Qian's thoughts raced, and without hesitation, he issued a command.
"Xiao Liu, use Frost Breath!"
The enemy was an unknown Dominator Beast, and even if it wasn't a water-type, it was likely to be as adept in water as the Frostfire Salamander.
Against such an enemy, Qinglin Jiao's water-based skills would likely have little effect, and fire and wind elements were not easily usable underwater. Therefore, the most convenient and potentially effective element was Xiao Liu's ice.
Li Qian didn't expect to deal significant damage to the underwater enemy; he just wanted to stall for a moment.
As his command was given, Xiao Liu swiftly changed direction, facing their pursuer, and unleashed a blast of blue-white frost.
"Warning, warning! Frost attack incoming! Temperature dropping to minus ninety-six degrees!"
At the very moment the blue-white frost was unleashed, those wearing battle armor suits immediately received a system alert.
They turned back, looking at the Frostfire Salamander behind them, their faces filled with astonishment.
Just one skill was enough to detect such a terrifyingly low temperature; the combat power of this salamander-like Companion Beast was truly frightening.
It had reached at least the High Commander Rank! This also indirectly proved its incredibly high potential.
The captain and the two flight ship attendants, including the unfamiliar beautiful woman, all showed joy.
Such a terrifying skill instantly froze a large area of water behind them, turning the flow into a thick layer of ice.
"Speed up! This skill won't hold it back for long!" Li Qian exclaimed in exasperation as Xiao Liu's skill seemed to have caught the attention of the other four, causing them to slow down a bit.
Even at a time like this, they were still watching the Frostfire Salamander's skill demonstration.
Reminded by Li Qian, the four of them suddenly increased their speed.
Li Qian's words were not wrong; even with the Frostfire Salamander's high potential and formidable strength, it was unlikely to completely withstand the power of a Dominator Beast.
At most, it could only stall for a little time.
Therefore, strictly speaking, they were still in a dangerous situation.
The five continued their frantic escape, the power of their battle armor suits already at full capacity.
Boom...
Just a few breaths after they moved away, a loud crashing sound came from behind them.
Almost immediately, Li Qian identified the sound as the Dominator Beast breaking through the ice.
The ice had slowed it down, but the effect was limited, and the Dominator Beast's speed had not diminished much.
"Xiao Liu, another Frost Breath!" Li Qian commanded again after assessing the situation behind them.
Xiao Liu didn't hesitate and immediately executed the order, unleashing another blast of Frost Breath.
In this manner, Xiao Liu consecutively used the Frost Breath skill five times.
However, the sound of breaking ice behind them became increasingly apparent.
"It's here!" Li Qian shouted, hearing the constant alerts from his battle armor suit.
The captain let out a loud shout, encouraging them, "Just a little further, we're almost at the shore!"
"We're here!"
Finally, just as their pursuers were about to catch up, they reached the shore, narrowly avoiding disaster.
"Let's give them a taste of our power before we get out!" As the group neared the shore, the captain suddenly turned back and roared.
With that, the hand of his Battle Armor Suit extended, revealing a cannon barrel.
"Fire!"
At the captain's command, all five of them fired laser beams simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Li Qian also instructed Qi Zai and Xiao Liu to deal with their pursuers, "Qi Zai, use the High-Pressure Water Cannon!"
"Xiao Liu, use Frost Breath!"
After unleashing a barrage of skills, the five of them didn't look back and leaped out of the water without hesitation.
Splash, splash...
They emerged from the water one after another, landing steadily on the ground.
Without a moment's delay, they immediately activated their Battle Armor Suits and made a quick escape.
Just as they had caught their breath after breaking through the water, two loud explosions reverberated, and two huge craters appeared on the already turbulent river surface, one after the other.
Li Qian couldn't help but curse aloud as he saw two massive creatures leaping out of the water, one after the other, "They're River Turning Crocodiles, two Dominator-rank River Turning Crocodiles!!"
This was a rather unfortunate outcome.
If the creatures that emerged from the water were aquatic Companion Beasts, the situation might have been much better, as aquatic beasts were generally less adept at fighting on land.
But with River Turning Crocodiles, a type of amphibious Companion Beast, there would be an impact, albeit not as significant.
What made them feel even more helpless was that these two River Turning Crocodiles, like the Storm Falcon they encountered earlier, had undergone some mysterious and unknown transformation.
Their size was noticeably larger than ordinary River Turning Crocodiles.
It was clear without a doubt that their combat power would be even more terrifying.
"Tweet, tweet!"
Just as all five of them felt the situation was extremely tricky, two sharp falcon cries suddenly rang out in the sky.
"There's more up there!" A female voice spoke up, one of the two female Flight Ship Attendants.
Li Qian looked up, his mouth twitching slightly, "There's even a Storm Falcon."
Seeing this, the captain spoke with a grave tone, "Be careful, it seems like there are cultists controlling them, attacking the Cloud Swallow 97, and attacking us!"
Li Qian sighed.
He had known that there were cultists controlling these four Dominator-rank Companion Beasts, and it was highly likely that they belonged to the Black God Sect.
But knowing this didn't change the fact that the power gap was too vast, and even with the knowledge of their enemies' identities, it wouldn't make much difference.
The beautiful woman's tone was equally solemn, "Four Dominator-rank Companion Beasts with mysterious abilities, this time, we're in big trouble."
Perhaps sensing the oppressive atmosphere, the captain offered some encouragement, "Don't worry, we're not far from the Southern Capital, support will arrive soon, I estimate that at most, we just need to hold on for ten more minutes, and the cultists will retreat!"
Hearing this, Li Qian couldn't help but silently mock the captain in his mind.
Captain, although I want to agree with you, but with just the five of us, even if those two flight attendant sisters are clearly more capable than ordinary flight attendants, it won't make much difference. Wanting to delay for ten minutes is just a pipe dream!
