Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 56: The Overlord of the Quagmire
The neighing of the swamp spirit horse echoed in the swamp for a long time.

Yuan Ze squatted on a thick branch, looking at the two Yuan warriors below with an awkward expression. They were also obviously stunned by this sudden situation, but they quickly reacted and cautiously wandered between Yuan Ze and the crocodile.

"Ahem." Yuan Ze coughed twice and quickly sent some information about the crocodile source beast to the two of them. "Let's deal with this crocodile first. It's very strong."

Liu Shuiyun and Dai Hui looked at each other and silently accepted the information. Their faces gradually became solemn, and they had obviously realized how difficult this source beast was. This behemoth not only had an indestructible defense, but also possessed a variety of deadly abilities. If you were not careful, you might fall into an irretrievable situation.

The two quickly jumped onto the giant tree where Yuan Ze was, and checked the information they received, their faces becoming more and more serious. Even though they were well-informed, they had to admit that this was an extremely rare and difficult to deal with source beast.

Dai Hui frowned. Although he was dissatisfied, he decided to join forces with Yuan Ze to deal with this crisis. Yuan Ze also gladly accepted their invitation to form a team. After all, at this dangerous moment, one more person means one more strength. So, the three of them fought side by side to face this powerful crocodile beast together.

The crocodile suddenly jumped out of the swamp again. Its huge head was like a mountain peak, biting the thickest tree fiercely. The last tree was broken into pieces under its terrifying bite force.

The three were forced to land on the ground. Dai Hui still looked at Yuan Ze with suspicion, obviously holding a grudge against him. Liu Shuiyun noticed this atmosphere of distrust, and he glared at Dai Hui, signaling him to put aside his prejudice and focus on dealing with the crisis at hand. Although Dai Hui was unwilling, he could only turn his attention back to Crocodile Tyrant.

Liu Shuiyun acted as the vanguard, fighting Crocodile Tyrant head-on with all his strength. This source beast was much stronger than the Rotten Swamp Spirit Horse he had encountered before, which made him feel more pressured.

Dai Hui tried his best to distract Crocodile Tyrant's attention. However, his energy bullets were like a drop in the ocean, not only did they not cause any harm to Crocodile Tyrant, but they were absorbed by Crocodile Tyrant and converted into his own energy supply.

"Its adaptive armor is a mechanical device composed of countless microorganisms. Each of these micro-machines is cleverly integrated with energy converters and sensors. This allows the barrier to not only rebound attacks, but also absorb, store, and release source power at the right time."

Yuanze calmly analyzed Crocodile King's characteristics in the rear. He did not directly participate in the battle, but acted as a think tank.

"Use a source of force that vibrates at a specific frequency to disrupt the working frequency of these biological structures, thereby disintegrating its adaptive armor."

After receiving the frequency value, the two immediately switched the activation method of the source power. The effect was very significant, and their attacks changed significantly. The source power that was originally absorbed seemed to have found a breakthrough, directly penetrating the Crocodile Tyrant's defense and hitting its body hard.

Before reaching the extraordinary level, the flesh of any creature is relatively fragile and cannot withstand too many physical attacks. Crocodile Tyrant is no exception. It roared in pain under the fierce attack of the two. When the attack hits its weak points and vital points, it can ignore the level difference and cause severe damage to it.

After the Crocodile Tyrant's defense was broken, facing the two Rongtong-level source warriors, he also gave up the idea of ​​direct combat. After leaving a deep hole on the ground, his figure flashed and disappeared into the vast swamp.

"Drilling the ground is just interference. This is a multi-spectrum stealth capability. The special biological cells in the body can emit and absorb multiple spectrums of light and electromagnetic waves, allowing it to remain invisible under different detection methods. However, the consumption is huge and it cannot be maintained for a long time."

"Dai Hui, you need to shrink the formation and protect Yuanze. At the same time, you must also be careful to prevent surprise attacks and ensure that we can support each other in time!" Liu Shuiyun gave orders to Dai Hui while vigilantly observing his surroundings.

Upon hearing this, Dai Hui immediately pointed his gun upwards, stuck close to Yuan Ze, and moved carefully in circles to ensure the safety of both of them.

At this moment, the ground suddenly trembled slightly. Just as Yuan Ze and Dai Hui were about to jump up to avoid it, the giant mouth had already covered their feet at lightning speed.

At this critical moment, Liu Shuiyun stepped forward. He rushed over and used his spear to hold the crocodile's mouth tightly, buying precious time for Yuanze and Dai Hui to escape.

After the two successfully escaped, he took advantage of the situation to cut several deep wounds in Crocodile King's mouth, but the huge bite force caused the weapon to be severely damaged and could no longer be used.

At this time, Dai Hui's source power bullets poured down like a rainstorm, accurately aiming at Crocodile Tyrant's mouth, which had not yet closed. However, Yuan Ze keenly discovered that several bullets with insufficient lethality were actually shot at non-vital parts of his body.

Yuan Ze, who was in the "flow" state, calmly slowed down the speed of the bullets and activated the defensive force field given to him by Li Haisheng. He easily bounced back the bullets and resolved this sudden crisis.

"What are you doing? Are you fighting among yourselves?" Liu Shuiyun angrily rushed to Dai Hui and asked, "If it weren't for this little brother's help, would we be able to defeat Crocodile Tyrant?"

"I'm sorry, the battle lasted too long, and I made some mistakes in controlling my energy." Dai Hui explained coldly, without a trace of guilt. "I won't do it again next time."

"Let's not talk about this for now." Yuan Ze didn't care about their fight at this time, "It hid in the swamp again. Its biological cells are accumulating electromagnetic energy. It's about to use its ultimate move."

Astra finally woke up and quickly analyzed the battle situation. She used broadband detection equipment and high-precision algorithms to locate it and helped Yuanze restore his camouflage.

This kind of stealth combined with electromagnetic guns requires huge source of power to support it, and the user will definitely enter a weak state after using it.

"Turn on the electromagnetic shielding to maximum. We'll be there in three seconds." Yuan Ze reminded them, but he chose to move forward.

"Don't go, it's dangerous!"

Yuan Ze ignored Liu Shuiyun's dissuasion. He knew that only by completely killing the crocodile king could he eliminate his worries. Otherwise, once he was out of the protection of these two Rongtong-level masters, he would become the prey of the crocodile king in a weak state. With a roar, the electromagnetic cannon finally fired. Yuan Ze found that the special cells in the crocodile king's body were converting the source power into electromagnetic waves, continuously ejecting plasma charged particle streams. This energy gathered into a terrifying beam of light, and as the crocodile king shook his head, it shot out in all directions.

The two people on the ground kept dodging the attack of electromagnetic pulses. This intensity of electromagnetic interference even caused a certain degree of disorder in their body functions. Even a Rongtong-level strongman could hardly resist the full force attack of the peak level.

Yuan Ze suddenly had an idea, and he once again released his mental power, cleverly simulating the cells in Crocodile Tyrant's body, forming an electric field and a magnetic field. This action allowed the brain waves between his neurons to be converted into an electromagnetic field, which invisibly built a solid barrier to protect his body tightly.

After Astra accurately corrected the data and confirmed that it was correct, Yuanze resolutely stepped into the huge mouth of the crocodile. The crocodile glared at him with one eye, and the muscles on his face twisted into a mocking expression, as if mocking this weak ant who overestimated his own capabilities.

"Is he crazy?" Liu Shuiyun and Dai Hui tried their best to resist the attack of the electromagnetic pulse, while watching in amazement as Yuanze walked step by step into the huge mouth of the crocodile.

Liu Shuiyun used those instruments that were about to be scrapped to observe Yuan Ze. He was surprised to find that the electromagnetic field attached to his body was constantly changing the movement trajectory of particles, avoiding all high-energy ion beams, and leaving colorful ribbons like the aurora on his body, as if awarding him a medal.

The two were so shocked that they even forgot about the blood oozing from the corners of their mouths. Suddenly, the electromagnetic pulse stopped abruptly. Crocodile King rolled over, exposing his belly, twisting his huge body in pain. Then, the soft belly began to bulge a little bit, just like a needle gradually bulging and piercing through linen.

Yuan Ze rushed out of Crocodile Tyrant's body, covered in blood. He looked at the two people who were shocked and said calmly, "Why don't you finish him off?"

The two men woke up as if from a dream, and immediately joined forces to completely destroy Crocodile King's chance of survival.

"Little brother, I finally understand why the master values ​​you so much." Liu Shuiyun leaned on the wooden stool next to him, panting and raising his finger to praise Yuanze.

"What on earth is..."

Dai Hui pointed his gun at Yuan Ze and interrupted his question: "Sorry, this is not what you should ask. We still have to take you back."

"Okay, then I'll go meet the master who is so interested in me." Yuan Ze was not frightened by his actions. Instead, he calmly sat on the wooden stake next to him.

"Dai Hui, put down the gun." Liu Shuiyun walked between the two men and pressed down the arm of Dai Hui holding the gun.

"Brother Yuanze, you have done us a favor. Is this how I taught you to treat your benefactor?"

"But, the Lord said..."

"What did you say? We didn't see Yuanze this time." Liu Shuiyun looked unhappy and glared at him.

"Think about it. During the battle, you attacked Yuan Ze. Did he care about you? People should still have some conscience. If we let the little brother go this time, we will be even."

"No, I want to..."

Seeing that Dai Hui was so stubborn, Liu Shuiyun knocked him out and carried him on his shoulders.

Before Liu Shuiyun left, he gave Yuan Ze a meaningful look and said, "Little brother, when we meet again in the future, I'm afraid we will have a fierce battle, and we will definitely not show any mercy then."

"clear."

The two quickly disappeared from Yuanze's sight. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to communicate with Astra.

Astra's timely awakening was undoubtedly a great help to Yuan Ze. Otherwise, he would not have dared to take the huge risk and bravely enter Crocodile King's body under the attack of the electromagnetic cannon.

Astra also revealed to Yuan Ze that the knowledge they absorbed together last time not only confused Yuan Ze, but also she herself could not fully understand it. The knowledge was too obscure and far beyond the scope of the human knowledge system, and just storing it made her fall into a deep sleep.

Yuan Ze's newly extended second nervous system also mainly stored this knowledge. Although he was curious about this knowledge, now was not the time to study it in depth.

Looking at the corpse of the source beast in front of him, Yuan Ze felt a little sorry for these precious materials, but time was running out and he could not carefully cut and separate this huge creature. He could only take away the source crystal in a hurry.

Yuanze didn't look back and quickly fled from the dangerous area.
