Chapter 40: Battle with the Dragon at Sea (Part 2)

Zhanxiage glared coldly at the crocodile that kept closing in on them, and asked in a deep voice, "Who knows crocodiles? Tell me about their attack methods and weaknesses!" ”
The voice of the war hero song seemed to possess a magical power, greatly easing the fear in the hearts of the dozen or so sailors. One sailor quickly said, "When crocodiles attack their targets, they usually use a 'silent' method. They often lurk at the bottom, using their eyes above their bodies to observe their prey. Only when they get close will they suddenly lunge, launching a surprise attack with their teeth!" It is said that crocodiles have extremely sharp eyesight, but this is also their vital point. Even if an ordinary person is bitten by a crocodile and can muster the courage to stab its eyes hard with their own fingers, it can still severely injure them and force them to let go. ”
In this situation, Zhan Xiage's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that was never appropriate. "A single finger for an ordinary person is enough?" Looks like they're not as invincible as I imagined. Let's trade one life for another! ”
Everyone stared at Zhanxiage in confusion. Zhanxiage reached out and held down the two sailors, and with a strong grip, he actually pushed himself nearly a meter closer to the crocodile slowly closing in on them!
He slowly slashed his own chest with his military knife, letting his burning blood spurt violently from the wound, flowing into the seawater beneath him, radiating and spreading gradually. With steady and powerful breaths, Zhan Xiagege took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly and evenly. A large amount of fresh oxygen was delivered through his blood to every cell in his body. Every muscle, half stretched and relaxed, poured a cheetah's strength and agility into this body, which had been tempered countless times!
Gripping his military knife and staring at the crocodile, Zhanxiage whispered, "Come on, come on, you ugly big lizard, even if I can't dodge your attack, the brothers behind me will avenge me!" ”
Sensing the commotion among the sailors behind him, Zhanxiage whispered, "Don't move!" Since I once asked you to give up your wounded brothers, I must first learn to ignore my own life. That is what it means to be ...... Fair! Remember, if I can't dodge its attack, when it bites me and tries to pull me out of the mud, my body will freeze for a moment, and I'll stab your military knife hard into its eye! Don't let me become food for nothing! ”
"As a man, the only way to face your enemy is to face him!" At least this way, you can still raise your hands and fight him. If you choose to turn and flee, facing the enemy with your back, you won't even have a chance to fight! ”
At that moment, Zhan Xia Ge suddenly remembered what his father had said. To his surprise, these few words contained his father's life experience and battle philosophy—surviving and defeating powerful enemies on the battlefield!
Yes, when faced with an unreasonable enemy who simply treats you as prey, can you raise your hands and surrender? Faced with an instinct-driven animal that could launch a sudden attack at any moment, can you reincarnate and escape just to survive?
Zhan Xiago's body involuntarily bent slightly, and the saber in his hand thrust forward at an angle. Anyone who could see Zhanxiage's actions from the front would surely understand that he was already prepared to be bitten by a crocodile! He wanted to stab with all his strength, all his anger, all his love, all his hatred, and stab himself at the moment of being bitten by the crocodile!
Courage, persistence, pride, and an instinctive desire and pursuit of victory—this is the essence of the best soldier!
"Swish!"
A nearly six-meter-long black figure leapt out of the water. Anyone who hadn't seen it with their own eyes would never have imagined that a body weighing over 500 kilograms was so perfect that everyone instantly thought of the idiom 'Lightning Strike' when it was bouncing up!
Without seeing the crocodile's blood-red jaws capable of biting through steel plates and its rows of sharp teeth like bayonets, you would never understand the attack power of this giant saltwater crocodile!
Cold sweat instantly soaked Zhan Xiaoge's clothes. He slashed hard, but only struck the crocodile's thick leather armor. Zhan Xiaoge's eyes widened as he screamed hoarsely, "Watch out!" ”
But he shouted too late!
One soldier only managed to let out a miserable scream before being bitten in the waist by the giant crocodile. He had no time to struggle and was dragged into the water by the crocodile. The soldiers' sabers thrust in vain, but couldn't pierce its heavy leather armor.
Perhaps sensing the fierce killing intent on Zhanxiage that could make any creature retreat, or perhaps it was unwilling to attack a creature that dared to face it alone and took a fighting stance, the crocodile actually gave up attacking Zhanxiage standing at the front. After making a beautiful, flawless curve around him, it suddenly erupted!
This crocodile landed a strike without pause, swaggering away with its prey and several insignificant knife wounds. At the spot where the giant saltwater crocodile had sunk, a heavy layer of blood-red rose in the water, instantly injuring everyone's eyes.
Zhan Xiage, suddenly raising his head and looking up at the sky, let out a wild howl. He slammed his fist heavily onto the sea, sending up large sprays of water. Amid the splashing water, Zhanxiage stood dazed in the shallow water, just a few dozen meters from the shore. He stared blankly at the direction where the sailor had disappeared, large tears rolling down his face from the seawater and sweat.
At this moment, the war hero Ge's expression was indescribably sorrowful and cold.
Four hours later, Zhan Xia Ge and his group still couldn't break free from the mud. Suddenly, a sailor let out a startled cry, and when they looked up, they were all stunned. At the very front was still the crocodile. Its eyes, whether it had emotions or not, stared fiercely at Zhanxiage. Of the several blows it took, only Zhanxiage's one truly made it feel ...... Ouch!
It could never forget this man, could not forget this creature that seemed far weaker in power but had given it so much shock and terror!
Zhanxiage also stared fiercely at the crocodile. Their eyes met in midair, and invisible sparks flew between them.
It was this crocodile that killed one of its brothers, it was this crocodile that left one of its brothers dead without a grave, and it was this crocodile that brought even more of its kind. Behind it floated a shadowy black figure—roughly counting, there were at least eleven or twelve slightly smaller crocodiles!
