Chapter 446 Thunder King
An inauspicious start; Murphy's Law applies.
As it turns out, once something goes wrong, it will continue to go wrong.
The sword of kingship slid out from under his feet.
The sword's dark golden luster shone faintly under the blood-red sun, and the golden patterns on the spine pulsated like blood vessels, as if the sword itself had its own heartbeat.
Xu Si floated down from the top of the water tower and hovered thirty meters above the water.
The star veins unfolded silently, bringing the entire reservoir under their perception.
Once the [Thunder Eel] was captured by Xu Si's Star Pulse, it became difficult for it to escape.
It clearly sensed the uninvited guest, and its massive body stopped swimming and slowly rose to the surface.
The grayish-white water was sliced open by its spine, like a black knife tearing through grayish-white cloth.
Its head was the first to emerge from the water; it was a flat skull that appeared to have no eyes or nostrils, only a large mouth that took up almost the entire surface of its head.
There was a slit on each side of his mouth that extended to his neck, filled with countless barbed teeth that were opening and closing and making a soft hissing sound.
An electric arc leaps between its teeth.
"It's quite ugly," Xu Si said.
The eel seemed to understand his assessment. Its entire body suddenly sprang out of the water, its huge mouth opening at an incredible angle as it lunged at Xu Si.
Its speed was astonishing, completely unlike what one would expect from a behemoth over thirty meters long.
They made no attempt to greet us at all.
But Xu Si was even faster.
He leaped up, flipped in mid-air, and raised the sword of kingship from below.
The dark golden sword light drew an arc in the air, precisely striking the weak spot on the lower jaw of the [Thunder Eel].
The moment the blade made contact with the scales, a series of dense electric currents exploded in the air.
The longsword veered off course, its blade crackling with electric arcs.
The scales of the thunder eel were not broken, leaving only a shallow white mark on the surface.
Its body twisted in the air, its tail sweeping across with agility, accompanied by a stench and a roaring sound of intertwined electric arcs.
As the Xu Si Starfield unfolded, a spherical space with a radius of 100 meters suddenly solidified, and the Thunder Eel's tail froze in mid-air.
But it only lasted for a moment.
The grayish-white patterns on the surface of the thunder eel suddenly lit up, and a visible arc of electricity burst out from its body, directly tearing a hole in the suppression of the star field.
Its tail broke free of its restraints and swept across like a whip, striking Xu Si squarely.
boom--
Xu Si was sent flying by the blow, his body crashing into the stone wall of the reservoir dam, creating a dent several meters deep.
The gravel fell with a clatter, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Fortunately, he used Star Power to protect himself in time, which prevented fatal damage. However, his whole body was still tingling and numb, which meant that Star Power could not completely block the electric current.
"Brother Dao!" Chen Pei called out from afar, his voice filled with anxiety.
Xu Si broke free from the crater in the stone wall and shook off the rubble and dust from his body.
"fine."
The Sword of Kingship returned to Xu Si's side, hovering and protecting him, but its tip remained pointed towards the water, as if still harboring resentment over the previous attack.
Xu Si also sensed that things were getting tricky!
This guy has high attack, high defense, high mobility, and is also quite intelligent.
Even within his own star system, he was able to inflict damage in a short time. He regretted not coming to scout out the enemy situation a couple of days ago.
Moreover, Xu Si could sense that the guy hadn't used his full strength. If he had, Xu Si would have coughed up blood at least a few times.
Xu Si shook his numb right arm, and the starlight flowed across his body, gradually forcing the remaining electric current out of his body.
"That's interesting."
The last time he encountered something this troublesome was with that [Crocodile Demon] who was playing tactics with him. He wondered how that guy was doing now.
He lowered his gaze to the thunder eel that swam in circles on the water's surface like a shark, surveying its territory. The scarlet light deep within its starry eyes slowly rotated.
He had never actually killed a Level 6 Mysterious Being before, which sparked a bit of his competitive spirit.
Since I've agreed, I should at least do it perfectly.
The sword of kingship hung at his side, its tip trembling slightly, casting a slender reflection on the water's surface with its dark golden light.
Xu Si readjusted his breathing and adjusted his state.
The star field unfolded silently once again.
However, the eel's reaction exceeded his expectations. After sensing the danger, it immediately dived into the water, giving Xu Si no chance to envelop it.
This completely stumped Xu Si. Although he could still detect the Star Pulse, the Thunder Eel had raised its white flag, so Xu Si couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't very well go into the water!
His fate is unlikely to be much better.
Fortunately, he conjured several crimson orbs from his fingertips, and the "Starburst" precisely located the position of the [Thunder Eel].
Xu Si stood in mid-air above the reservoir, and fired a series of crimson light spheres that had been gathered at his fingertips.
Boom boom boom...
Each [Starburst] exploded in the water, creating a dark red energy ripple. The entire reservoir trembled violently, and the already precarious stones on the dam tumbled down.
But the eel learned its lesson.
It no longer surfaced to confront Xu Si head-on as it did the first time, but instead displayed the extreme agility of its body.
Xu Si could sense that although some of the starbursts hit their targets, the energy decayed too quickly in the water, and the actual power that affected the thunder eel was less than one-tenth.
Moreover, that thing also possesses the characteristic of a spirit body, and the damage inflicted on it is slowly healing under the entanglement of gray-white electric arcs.
This ability is truly abnormal; no wonder everyone wants to become the Thunder King!
What should have been a fierce offensive was turned into a complete war of attrition by Xu Si.
In terms of how troublesome it is, this guy definitely ranks high among the level six weirdos.
Perhaps it would be easier to let Xu Si deal with that level seven monster.
After all, Xu Si is the best at shooting targets; he might be able to take care of it with a single "Starfall" attack.
Unlike this slippery fellow in front of me, who's as slippery as an eel.
I thought it would be a lucrative job, but it turned out to be a tough one.
No, no...
He's spent too much time here. Is Mei Lin trying to keep him here?
"Go back to the base first! Check if there's anything unusual!"
Xu Si said to Chen Pei that his staying here wouldn't make much of a difference.
Chen Pei was taken aback, but did not refute. He left directly, but before leaving, he left Xu Si a water snake so that the two could keep in touch.
Xu Si also wanted to end the battle quickly.
Everything today felt off to him.
Hopefully, he's overthinking it.
With Chen Pei gone, Xu Si immediately lowered his altitude, using himself as bait. You couldn't very well avoid a fight, could you?
At this moment, Xu Si was hovering at a height of less than ten meters above the water surface, and his space cloak fluttered in the lake breeze.
At this height, it was practically touching the top of the eel's head, a provocative act.
