Chapter 122: Swarm 2
Just then, Mo Chenxuan gasped and suddenly turned around.
Barely a second later, a dark object flew out of the right swamp and fell near the middle of the convoy.
Simultaneously, screams echoed in the surroundings, and chaos ensued.
"What's that?" Someone screamed.
"Oh my god, it's a bloody tail."
"Tail? Tail? What are you talking about?"
"Look…, there is a crocodile in the swamp. What fell is a crocodile tail."
"How can it be a tail? It's more than seventy metres long. How can a tail be so long?"
"Have you forgotten…, we are in an apocalypse."
At the rear of the convoy, Mo Chenxuan frowned with a grim expression.
"Chenxuan, it's an early level three zombie crocodile." Qin Wu observed, and Mo Chenxuan nodded before speaking.
"That tail is too dangerous." He said.
At a glance, the crocodile was ten metres long, but its tail was seventy metres long and half a metre wide at its narrowest point.
In the previous attack, the tail instantly smashed a car before dragging it into the swamp.
"Should…" Qin Wu started but suddenly stopped.
While they were talking, the crocodile had raised its tail and was preparing to smash another car.
On instinct, Qin Wu teleported several metres away and instantaneously unleashed a slew of space blades.
In the blink of an eye, the tail and space blades collided.
Unfortunately, the blades were not enough to sever the tail, but they were just right to neutralise the attack.
At the same time, Mo Chenxuan flew above the swamp and threw a thunderball into the water.
The thunder ball was barely fist-sized.
However, it was condensed from hundreds of powerful lightning bolts.
As soon as it entered the water, it exploded, diffusing a powerful current throughout the swamp.
"Again." Mo Chenxuan shouted, and Qin Wu nodded.
A moment later, she unleashed another barrage of space blades.
However, this time, the space blades were not scattered but focused ten metres from the tip of the tail.
This proved effective.
Before the crocodile could react, the tip of its tail was cut off, and powerful lightning bolts ravaged its body.
Ordinarily, such injuries would cripple a living thing.
However, zombies were different.
Although severely injured, the crocodile didn't react and instead swam towards the edge of the swamp, seeking to regain the reach it had lost when part of its tail was cut off.
Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu were not surprised when they saw this.
Instead, they intensified their attacks, wanting to end the fight as soon as possible.
After all, the convoy was still under attack from a swarm of dragonflies.
Thinking of the dragonflies, Mo Chenxuan frowned.
"Don't lose focus." He shouted, startling his team.
"We understand, boss." Xu Fei and the others shouted.
In this way, war broke out on two fronts.
On one side, the convoy was killing the dragonflies while trying to exit the swamp area.
On the other hand, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu were entangled with the crocodile, neither side giving way.
"This crocodile has a physical enhancement." Qin Wu grumbled.
If it were ordinary, no matter how tough a crocodile's skin was, she would only need two or three space blades to sever the tail.
However, for this crocodile, even the narrowest point required more than a dozen space blades to cut off.
"It's enough to keep it away from the convoy." Mo Chenxuan said, his eyes narrowed into slits.
A second later, a finger-sized lightning bolt condensed on his right palm and soon after, he threw it at the crocodile.
Compared to the size of the crocodile, the lightning bolt looked insignificant.
However, when it touched the crocodile, it exploded with a heaven-destroying momentum, causing the creature to burst into pieces.
Seeing this, Qin Wu rushed over and picked the crystal core before teleporting to Mo Chenxuan.
"Are you okay?" She whispered.
"Exhausted." The man answered in a low voice.
Hearing this, Qin Wu didn't hesitate.
She held Mo Chenxuan's arm and teleported to their car.
The dragonflies were still attacking.
While Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu were focused on dealing with the crocodile, a swarm of insects surrounded several cars.
Compared to the crocodile, the dragonflies were small and weak.
However, this weakness was only so when the swarm was small.
At this time, the combined weight and attacks of millions of dragonflies had already broken a few car windows.
"It's a good thing we switched to the Inkas." Qin Wu said with a thoughtful expression.
Although their Hummer was a good car, it was just an off-road vehicle and wasn't armoured.
Faced with the attack of millions of zombie dragonflies, it would only have held for a short time.
Thinking of this, Qin Wu looked outside and suddenly frowned.
"Chenxuan, is it me, or has the convoy slowed down?" She asked.
"It has indeed slowed down."
Because some cars couldn't keep out the zombie dragonflies, the occupants were either turned into zombies or killed.
As a result, those cars stalled on the road, blocking the way for the vehicles behind them.
"This is not good." Qin Wu said, her brows creased in a frown.
Like Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan, some others had also noticed the problem.
However, noticing was one thing and having a solution was another.
First, the road was narrow, hence the cars behind couldn't bypass the stalled vehicles.
Second, exiting the car was a sure death sentence and no one dared to take such a risk.
"Chenxuan, do you have a solution?" Qin Wu asked.
"Our team will be fine as long as I maintain the spiritual ability barrier. However, this is not a lasting solution."
Qin Wu agreed with this.
Mo Chenxuan was exhausted, and although he was already replenishing his power, maintaining the spiritual ability barrier wasn't a viable option.
After all, no one was a fool!
Even in this chaotic situation, it wouldn't take long for others to notice that Team Legends wasn't under heavy pressure.
When that happened, Mo Chenxuan would not be able to hide his spiritual ability.
