14: Swallow the giant crocodile!

"Roar!"

With a loud roar, Xia Fan rushed into Crocodile Town Square, his body slightly lowered, circling the heavily wounded Bloodthirsty Butcher. A menacing aura gradually spread.

The Bloodthirsty Butcher immediately lay still on the ground.

It had already suffered severe injuries, especially to its abdomen, which was riddled with bullet holes, and blood flowed continuously. At this moment, only by hiding its abdomen could it conceal this weakness.

Unfortunately, Xia Fan had secretly observed the entire battle process and knew the Bloodthirsty Butcher's injuries, so he scoffed inwardly at its clumsy actions.

He possessed various combat abilities such as Berserk, King Kong Transformation, and Frost Breath, and he was already a late first-tier fierce beast. Dealing with this Bloodthirsty Butcher, which had not yet fully matured, was not a problem at all.

However, for the sake of caution and to avoid injury, Xia Fan was very careful and did not launch an attack immediately.

The two fierce beasts were locked in a silent contest, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that even if the Bloodthirsty Butcher had not been injured and had evolved to mid-first tier through its Bloodthirsty Technique, it was still far inferior to Xia Fan.

What's more, the Bloodthirsty Butcher was currently wounded!

Time passed bit by bit, and the surroundings grew quiet.

The Bloodthirsty Butcher knew it couldn't wait any longer, so it once again cast Rage Berserk Technique, adorning itself with a thick layer of blood-red armor.

If it couldn't win, it would passively defend. Perhaps it could hold on for a while and seize the opportunity to escape.

Unfortunately, it encountered Xia Fan, a Xia Fan with human thoughts and a soul.

Before the Bloodthirsty Butcher's Rage Berserk Technique could take full effect, Xia Fan immediately activated Berserk, boosting his strength tenfold. Then, using King Kong Transformation to make his body invulnerable, he pounced.

Bang—

The next second, the two fierce beasts collided violently. Ripples of flesh caused by the force constantly trembled, and the Bloodthirsty Butcher was thrown back more than half a meter.

In the first clash of strength, it was at a disadvantage and no match for Xia Fan.

At this moment, Xia Fan continued to lower his head, circling the Bloodthirsty Butcher, searching for its weaknesses.

The Bloodthirsty Butcher's hide was already very tough, but Xia Fan's enhanced tiger claws were like divine weapons. With just one swipe, they directly tore off a piece of hide from its back, and blood instantly gushed out.

It was utterly terrified, realizing that its blood-red armor had little effect against Xia Fan.

Thinking that the Rage Berserk Technique could no longer fully protect itself, the Bloodthirsty Butcher immediately changed its combat strategy. Seizing an opportune moment when Xia Fan was not paying attention, it lunged forward, simultaneously opening its gaping maw, aiming to strike the enemy's front leg.

While still in mid-air, it made rolling and biting movements, but Xia Fan reacted swiftly, directly avoiding the attack. He also used his tiger claw to strike forcefully, instantly making it see stars.

A strong sense of dizziness immediately froze the Bloodthirsty Butcher's movements. When it landed, it failed to timely hide its riddled abdomen.

Xia Fan seized this opportunity, rushing forward. As a cold light flashed across his tiger claws, pieces of flesh flew out.

The Bloodthirsty Butcher's abdomen instantly split open with several gruesome wounds, and with its movements, deeper internal organs were vaguely visible.

It roared again, seemingly trying to embolden itself, but the sound was filled with fear, and its morale plummeted.

Xia Fan struck successfully but did not press the advantage.

He knew that the Bloodthirsty Butcher was extremely cunning. Although he had just wounded its abdomen, it was possible that this was a deliberate weakness it exposed to lure him in.

So, he circled the Bloodthirsty Butcher like a curious baby, admiring this living toy.

The Bloodthirsty Butcher kept its head raised, its muscles tensed, ready to counterattack at any moment.

But precisely because of this, more and more blood seeped from its body, leaving clear bloodstains wherever it moved.

"As expected of the Bloodthirsty Butcher."

Seeing this, Xia Fan felt a surge of emotion.

In his previous life, he knew that the Bloodthirsty Butcher had made quite a name for itself and was extremely difficult to deal with. He hadn't expected it to be so cautious even at this stage, before it had fully grown.

He knew that if the opponent hadn't been injured, the situation wouldn't have turned out this way.

The more this was the case, the more he needed to eliminate the Bloodthirsty Butcher as soon as possible, otherwise, it would become his problem in the future.

Sensing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, the Bloodthirsty Butcher began to roar repeatedly, even actively devouring the scattered human and crocodile corpses nearby to restore its vitality, but it still couldn't stop the effects of its severe injuries.

Suddenly, it noticed a dark cloud descending from above. Startled, it looked up and realized it was Xia Fan, who had leaped into the air.

Rumble—

At this moment, Xia Fan's attack erupted like a sudden clap of thunder.

Before the sound dissipated, he directly used his tiger claws to tear off large chunks of the Bloodthirsty Butcher's flesh, making the scene even more bloody.

In the subsequent battle, Xia Fan, relying on his absolute strength, inflicted extremely severe injuries on the Bloodthirsty Butcher. It couldn't withstand many more attacks and gradually ceased to move.

Its massive body became a lifeless mass, sprawled silently in the town square.

"It's finally dead."

Xia Fan's tiger eyes fixed on its carcass, but he did not approach immediately.

He continued to exude his aura, transforming into a king, making the other small fry dare not act rashly.

Although there were other crocodiles around, none of them had evolved into fierce beasts. They had only grown larger and more ferocious due to the blood rain, but out of fear of Xia Fan, they dared not come closer.

Pfft—

Xia Fan's sharp claws, like divine weapons, smoothly cut open the Bloodthirsty Butcher's skull, revealing its ability crystal.

After pulling it out, he swallowed it without hesitation.

"Roar—"

Feeling the energy within, he let out joyful roars, simultaneously using his devouring ability to digest the crystal.

A moment later, he successfully gained the Bloodthirsty Technique and Rage Berserk Technique abilities, and his entire aura changed once again.

"The Bloodthirsty Butcher's flesh and blood cannot be wasted either."

Xia Fan glanced at the opponent's carcass, then directly opened his mouth and began to devour its flesh and blood. Only the sound of his chewing remained in the field.

When the Bloodthirsty Butcher had completely disappeared from this world, Xia Fan also directly left Crocodile Town, continuing towards the Great Wilderness Mountain at a much faster pace than before.

Half a day later, a team of armed forces returned, everyone carrying rocket launchers, full of confidence.

"This time, that beast has nowhere to run."

This was everyone's true thought, but when they arrived at the town square and saw the remaining incomplete carcass of the Bloodthirsty Butcher, they were instantly shocked.

"This... what exactly happened?"
