Sailfish! It's a sailfish!
What frightened him the most was not the long and pointed jaw of the fish, but the fact that the swordfish had a very obvious blood-red pattern on its body, which was darker than that on the Silver King and Mimi!
This is a mid-level mutant creature!
Intermediate mutant swordfish!
"Damn it! Why did we run into this kind of fish? Isn't this a fish from the sea?"
Xu Xin quickly pulled out his spear from his backpack and stared intently at the next move of the blood-marked swordfish.
He didn't understand why this one of the marine overlords living in the deep sea would suddenly appear here.
He even opened his mouth and took a sip of water to confirm that the water was indeed fresh water.
“This is ridiculous!”
You know, swordfish can swim through the water at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour. They are the fastest fish in the ocean for short distances.
Because they are so fast, have a ferocious character, strong attack power, eat everything, and have an extremely sharp jaw that can be used to deal with larger fish, adult swordfish have almost no natural enemies in the sea and are basically at the top of the food chain!
It was such a being that suddenly appeared in this area of fresh water formed by rainfall, which made Xu Xin confused and felt his mind was in a mess.
What else is inside this tornado
A blood-marked swordfish that can live in fresh water actually emerged from it!
Fortunately, after the swordfish came out, it just used its long and sharp jaw to face Xu Xin, but did not launch an attack.
He was too shocked to pay attention just now, but now he realized that the swordfish's spike was actually longer than its body. There were circles of blood-red patterns on the thick spike, which looked ferocious and scary.
Intermediate mutant beasts will strengthen a part of their body. In the case of this swordfish, it is obvious that the long jaws that serve as weapons are strengthened.
The ferocious long jaw was facing Xu Xin, making all his muscles tense and ready to dodge at any time.
But the blood-marked swordfish still did not launch an attack. It just swam forward for a while, then stopped and retreated, as if it was hesitating and afraid of something.
Xu Xin thought of something and his nervous mood eased slightly.
It seems that the anaconda scale armor suit he was wearing was beginning to take effect in terms of its deterrent effect on aquatic creatures.
But we still can't take it lightly!
As long as he was in the water, he would not be able to compete with even an ordinary swordfish, let alone this intermediate mutated swordfish.
Although he was wearing a purple-level anaconda scale armor suit, he had never tested the defensive power of this suit, and he was not sure whether it could defend against an attack from the blood-marked swordfish's reinforced jaws.
At least the blue-level armor is vulnerable to the ears of the intermediate mutant rabbit.
In the water, Xu Xin's means of attack would be greatly reduced. Under the resistance of the water, the spear could not exert its full power!
"No, let's retreat." Xu Xin faced the swordfish and began to swim slowly backwards.
But just as Xu Xin was stepping back, the blood-marked swordfish beside the whirlpool suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Xu Xin!
“Damn it!”
Xu Xin swam at his fastest speed towards the direction of the water flow, and took advantage of the speed of the water flow to quickly swim away from his original position.
The swordfish passed by him and he narrowly avoided the attack.
The swordfish, which had rushed out hundreds of meters, drew a circle and returned to a position about 20 meters away from Xu Xin. It pointed its sharp jaw at Xu Xin again and stopped in the same place again, as if it was in hesitation again.
The scale armor set still has some effect.
Probably because Xu Xin's retreat was seen as a sign of weakness by the blood-marked swordfish, it rushed forward suddenly.
During the time when the swordfish was drawing circles, Xu Xin had already moved away from the center of the vortex and sank to the bottom of the water.
There are a lot of trees here as cover. Although they are only as thick as arms, they are randomly distributed underwater. If the swordfish wants to rush over directly, it will inevitably hit a few trees. If it wants to shuttle between the trees, it will definitely not be able to swim in a straight line, so the speed and power of its thrust will be reduced, and Xu Xin can also use the trees to dodge.
Of course, it would be best if it could return to the vortex.
However, things went against one's wishes. Seeing Xu Xin retreating, the blood-marked swordfish charged towards Xu Xin once again!
Just as Xu Xin expected, the sailfish was moving through the bushes, but not as fast as before. In fact, it couldn't dodge in time, and its sharp jaws scratched the trunks of several small trees while swimming rapidly.
The blood-marked sailfish brushed past the small trees, and these unfortunate small trees were directly pierced by its sharp jaws and broke into two pieces on the spot!
Xu Xin held the gun in one hand and grabbed a small tree with the other. When the blood-marked swordfish was about to approach, he suddenly used the force and once again narrowly avoided the swordfish's attack.
He held the spear tightly, leaving the spear tip in its original position. The blood-marked swordfish stabbed past at high speed, and the spear tip immediately left a mark on its body.
The water began to be filled with the blood of the blood-marked swordfish, and a faint smell of blood rushed into the nose.
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes and swam quickly towards the tree house.
He had learned from hunting blood-marked rabbits and blood-marked cats before that an injured intermediate mutant creature would relentlessly pursue the enemy that hurt it. Even if it was seriously injured and on the verge of death, it would not give up and would fight until the last moment of its life.
So, from the moment he injured the blood-marked swordfish, he was already targeted.
Xu Xin’s idea was also very simple. He used the small trees under the water as cover to lead the swordfish to the tree house as quickly as possible.
He is no match for the Blood Sailfish in the water, but near the tree house, he can use his roots to hang in the air, or he can enter the tree house and attack with a heavy crossbow.
The area near the tree house is his home ground.
Close to the bottom of the water, Xu Xin swam quickly among the trees, and the swordfish behind him did as he expected. After being injured, it was no longer afraid of the threat of the scales on Xu Xin's body and launched charges towards Xu Xin again and again.
Xu Xin was able to dodge every time, but it was a pity for the newly grown small trees underwater, as many of them were broken and punctured by the irrational swordfish.
While dodging, Xu Xin observed the blood-marked swordfish behind him.
This intermediate mutant creature that emerged from the vortex is most likely the guardian beast guarding the vortex. Only by killing it can Xu Xin check what is in the vortex.
If it is not harmed, it may go back on its own after moving too far away from the vortex.
Only by making it completely focus on him could he lure it to the vicinity of the tree house. After using the tree house's ability and the heavy crossbow to kill it, he could go back to see what was in the vortex.
Although Xu Xin's speed was slower than that of the sailfish, it was much faster than the normal swimming speed of humans. Even though he had to constantly avoid the attacks of the sailfish, it only took him about five minutes to return to the tree house one kilometer away and emerge from the water.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Coco's anxious cry came from above. It had been lying on the windowsill looking out. At this time, it had seen Xu Xin and was warning him that there was danger behind it.
And the blood-marked swordfish behind him has charged towards him again!
Because Xu Xin was on the water surface without any shelter, the swordfish was extremely fast and rushed to his side in an instant, about to pierce his body!
However, Xu Xin had already anticipated this. He directly grabbed the roots of the tree house. With a thought, the roots quickly shrank and he was pulled out of the water like a caught fish.
However, the swordfish was still faster than him. Although Xu Xin quickly retracted his legs upwards, the sharp jaw still pierced his boots.
After all, it is a mid-level mutant beast, and its speed is much faster than that of an ordinary swordfish. In the absence of any cover, it is fast enough to take off.
This is also true.
Because Xu Xin was pulled out of the water, the swordfish's attack direction was also diagonally upward. With the help of extremely fast speed, the blood-marked swordfish leaped directly out of the water, pierced Xu Xin's boots with its sharp jaws, and passed through his boots, making an unpleasant "sizzling" sound, and then the whole fish body flew directly diagonally upwards, flew to a height of two or three meters, and then fell into the water in a parabola.
Xu Xin didn't feel any pain in his foot. He lifted up the stabbed foot and breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it is purple-level armor. Although the swordfish's jaw has also been strengthened, according to experience, this is only the strongest material below purple level. After all, it is still blue-level, and its strength is naturally not as good as the scales on his body.
But even so, with this extreme speed and strength, the attack still left a deep mark on the surface of his boots, which made him very sad.
Although weapons and armor can be repaired using a crafting table, purple-grade armor requires purple-grade materials! He doesn't have any purple-grade materials.
Damn it, you dare to damage my purple armor, this blood-marked swordfish must die!
