Chapter 1355: Chapter 1264: Interstellar Life 35

Sure, here’s the translation:

"Previously, we were intimidated by the terrifying appearance and formidable Attack Power of this Crocodile Beast, thinking it’s very fearsome. However, the Crocodile Beast’s movements are never as quick as ours, so we managed to evade its seemingly overwhelming attacks.

Moreover, the Crocodile Beast’s most potent spiritual power attacks, though seemingly frightening, haven’t truly harmed us. It’s evident that its spiritual power attacks are also more bark than bite.

The Crocodile Beast might seem perilous, but with careful observation, retreating unharmed isn’t difficult. Although the Crocodile Beast is currently enraged, we can avoid injury by staying calm.

This Crocodile Beast was released skillfully to confront our four-person team. It allows us to fully sense the crisis without completely overwhelming us. It was strategically set to challenge the limits of our team."

Shuangshuang’s analysis was calm and rational. Du Qiyue pursed his lips, unable to refute. Just now when Rachel held her, she was able to avoid the Crocodile Beast’s attack, proving that the Beast’s movements are indeed sluggish. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The Crocodile Beast over there continued to rage, its tail whipping the ground, causing continuous tremors. Countless trees were snapped in half by its tail.

Wave after wave of spiritual power attacks were frantically emitted by the Crocodile Beast. Du Qiyue and Cheng Yunxi’s faces became increasingly pale, even Rachel was somewhat affected.

Currently, only Shuangshuang and Rachel can fight, but since each has someone to protect, their combat became cumbersome and problematic.

Shuangshuang aimed a few more shots at the Crocodile Beast, targeting its eyes, but to no avail. The pistol’s power was insufficient.

Over there, Rachel took out a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher from the Space Button. The interstellar-era rocket launcher differed from what Shuangshuang remembered, being lighter and much more powerful.

A single rocket could vaporize a building, making it certainly sufficient against the Crocodile Beast.

Shuangshuang was surprised how Rachel brought the launcher in, as the assessment task clearly prohibited using weapons of mass destruction.

If everyone carried weapons up the mountain, they could simply rely on their firepower to sweep through, negating any self-tempering.

Perhaps noticing Shuangshuang’s confusion, Rachel proactively explained, "This rocket launcher is actually defective; due to factory settings, it cannot use specialized ammunition.

Though the rocket launcher can’t be normally used, it’s still a weapon capable of firing bullets. I’m preparing to load it with compressed bullets and deliver a heavy blow."

Rachel spoke while loading compressed bullets into the launcher, quickly filling it with a heap of them, then aimed it at the Crocodile Beast’s head, shooting.

Countless bullets exploded at the Crocodile Beast’s head. The loud bang accompanied by the Beast’s howl resounded, and the persistent spiritual power attack finally ceased.

Apparently, Rachel’s shot was effective, directly interrupting the Crocodile Beast’s continuous spiritual power attack. Without the spiritual power attack, Du Qiyue and Cheng Yunxi’s faces immediately looked much better.

Although the after-effects of spiritual power attacks persisted, both were pale but no longer needed support and could stand on their own.

Seeing Cheng Yunxi able to stand on her own, Shuangshuang seized the opportunity to take out a long knife from the Space Button. The knife had a narrow blade with a bluish cold glow, crafted from a special mineral, exceptionally sharp.

Shuangshuang, clutching the knife, leapt onto the Crocodile Beast’s back. The Beast, having been shot in the face by Rachel, swung its bloodied head in pain, frenzied.

Running on the Crocodile Beast’s back, Shuangshuang’s body swayed with the Beast’s movements but stayed firmly anchored, reaching its neck.

With hands gripping the knife high, she fiercely struck downwards, the blade penetrating the Crocodile Beast’s brain. Twisting it briefly, Shuangshuang pulled it out.

As Shuangshuang jumped off the Crocodile Beast, its massive body shook before collapsing to the ground, twitched twice, and stopped moving.

Though the Crocodile Beast’s threat was gone, other predators still lurked around. This giant Crocodile Beast was obviously the overlord here, even in death intimidating surrounding beasts from approaching.

But this intimidation won’t last long. Shuangshuang hastened to remove the Crocodile Beast’s legs, storing them in the Space Button as food reserves.

Quickly, the group moved away from the hazardous waterside, back to the tent. Now Shuangshuang felt thankful that Liang Xuan’s team hadn’t followed; if they had, ended up like Cheng Yunxi, protecting them would be difficult.

This adventure resolved food and water issues efficiently, making it quite worthwhile.

Du Qiyue and Cheng Yunxi, spiritually fatigued from prolonged attack, were exhausted and dazed, immediately retreating to the tent to sleep, as sleep aids in spiritual recovery.

The evening meal was grilled Crocodile Beast meat, with compressed biscuits and mushroom soup. Shuangshuang had carefully selected non-toxic mushrooms using a species encyclopedia.

The fragrance of grilled meat awakened Du Qiyue and Cheng Yunxi from their sleep since returning. The Crocodile Beast’s meat was quite chewy and delicious, everyone fully satisfied.

At night, everyone took turns on watch; Du Qiyue and Cheng Yunxi, exempted from night duty due to spiritual attacks.

Shuangshuang took the first shift with Liang Xuan and Chu Xinqiong, and Rachel with Dong Yi and Shao Pengfeng for the second shift.

The prairie night was far from tranquil, with constant animal howling. Many pairs of bluish eyes watched the tent, clearly carnivores targeting the area.

Shuangshuang lit a campfire. These animals were naturally afraid of fire and hesitated.

Of course, not all beasts fear fire; some daring ones ventured past the flames to attack, but Shuangshuang handled them with ease, turning them into trophies.

Shuangshuang dealt with the formidable ones, while leaving lesser threats to Liang Xuan and Chu Xinqiong for practical combat experience.

By the time Shuangshuang and Rachel’s group swapped shifts, a pile of prey had accumulated, sparing the need for separate hunting.

Shuangshuang slept well, waking to find Rachel and Du Qiyue eating together, while others were busy with breakfast.

Shuangshuang noticed some awkwardness between Rachel and Du Qiyue, while Cheng Yunxi sat alone, nibbling grilled meat with a face eager to watch the scene unfold.
