Thứ 281 chương Nhất giai khế ước giả, A Chiến! (Ch 281)

The blade of the stone axe was bent, the wooden handle was cracked, and Ah Zhan’s palm was also rubbed bloody by the rough axe handle.

But he ignored it and just waved his arms mechanically.

Then it fell into a new cycle. The sand crocodile felt pain and struggled even more frantically.

Ah Zhan persisted, using his body and willpower to fight against creatures that were several times more powerful than himself.

Even though the sand crocodile is a creature with extraordinary powers.

But extraordinary creatures are still living beings after all, with flesh and blood, and they can feel pain and fatigue.

A Zhan, who has been fighting and hunting with wild beasts for many years, can feel it clearly.

This sand crocodile was seriously injured, and the wound on its abdomen was still bleeding. Every struggle accelerated its death.

It won’t last much longer.

Of course, Azhan’s current situation is not much better, and may even be worse.

The sand crocodile’s sharp claws and tail left countless scars on his body deep enough to see the bones.

The blood had already soaked through the animal skin armor, and it was impossible to tell whether it was his own blood or the sand crocodile’s blood.

Now, the fight between the man and the crocodile is more of a competition of willpower than a battle.

Whoever gives up first will become the complete loser in this cruel battle.

……

Another half day passed.

The scorching sun enveloped the earth again. The scorched earth was so hot that the air seemed to be distorted.

A Zhan could hardly feel the existence of his own body.

His muscles were as stiff as stone, and every breath he took caused the wounds all over his body to move, causing excruciating pain.

At least a dozen bones in his body were broken and dislocated.

He even felt that if the sand crocodile rolled a little more violently, he would be crushed to death in the wilderness.

What you fear often comes true.

Just when A Zhan was in a trance and trying to judge the extent of his injuries.

The sand crocodile seemed to realize that this was its last chance to survive. It suddenly jumped up again and flipped its huge back violently.

With tremendous force, he smashed hard to the ground.

“After all… did it fail?”

In A Zhan’s mind, his sister A Lian’s gentle smile flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.

The young face of my younger brother Douzi and the regretful look in my father’s eyes before his death.

A miserable laugh.

He was injured so badly that he was almost at the end of his rope.

And the sand crocodile under him actually still had the strength to roll so violently.

Sure enough, the vitality of extraordinary creatures is much more tenacious than ordinary people imagine.

He was still too naive, thinking that he could conquer extraordinary creatures and become a powerful contractor by relying on brute force.

A Zhan was extremely discouraged, his body gradually relaxed, he closed his eyes, and prepared to face the coming of death.

The strength of the hands that had been tightly grasping the scales on the back became weaker and weaker.

“Forget it, this is fine.”

“At least I died on the way to becoming a contractor… so I didn’t bring shame to my father.”

“It’s just pitiful A-Lian…”

A ray of light suddenly burst out from the depths of Ah Zhan’s dilated pupils, like a dormant spark rekindled by the wind.

“Alian!”

“……”

“No, I can’t die. I have to go back to help A-Lian.”

“If I don’t go back, A-Lian will marry that bastard Lang Gu and be tortured to death!”

This thought exploded in A Zhan’s mind like thunder, instantly dispelling the pervasive fatigue and despair.

The tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, with an unyielding flame burning within them.

It was as if a new force surged from deep within his body, supporting him as he once again tightened his grip on the stone axe that had already chopped into the sand crocodile’s back but that he was unable to pull out.

The stone axe was grasped again by the bloody hand.

It was pulled out violently, and blood spurted out like a horn blowing on the battlefield.

Ah Zhan roared, and used all his remaining strength to raise the stone axe high, and then brought it down heavily, condensing his desire to live and his concern for his sister.

“boom!”

The sand crocodile was already exhausted, and his head suffered such a severe blow again.

The hard skull could not withstand this blow full of desperate will, and he immediately lost control of his body.

The huge body slammed down on the scorched earth, raising a cloud of dust.

It twitched, its limbs moved weakly, and a dull roar came from its throat.

But he could no longer raise his head, and his will to resist was completely crushed.

Ah Zhan jumped off the sand crocodile’s back shakily and staggered a few steps before he could barely stand still.

Holding the stone axe and supporting his wounded body, he walked step by step towards the sand crocodile that collapsed on the ground.

The blade of the stone axe pointed coldly at the sand crocodile, silently announcing the final choice – surrender or die.

The ferocious look in the sand crocodile’s huge eyes gradually faded away.

Instead, there was a hint of fear.

A whimpering sound came from its throat, low and hoarse, as if it was begging, or as if it was compromising.

A look of ecstasy finally appeared on Ah Zhan’s tired face.

Success!

He really succeeded!

The huge body of the sand crocodile began to emit a soft light, which became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into countless streams of light, converging at A Zhan’s feet.

The light condensed, and a huge, ferocious-looking battle axe slowly took shape.

The axe has a rough texture like desert rock.

The axe blade is as sharp as the teeth of a sand crocodile, and the axe handle is wrapped with circles of patterns like crocodile skin, full of wildness and power.

A Zhan grabbed the handle of the battle axe.

It felt heavy in the hand, yet it seemed to be connected to his blood, a perfect fit.

An unprecedented powerful force surged into his body like a rushing river, filling his limbs and bones.

He had never felt such a surging power before, as if it could split the sky in front of him and crush the ground beneath his feet. He couldn’t help but feel intoxicated.

“Is this the first level?”

Ah Zhan murmured softly, feeling the surging power in his body, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise up.

He suddenly exerted force with his legs and jumped high like an arrow.

He held the battle axe tightly in both hands, raised it above his head, and smashed it hard on the ground.

“boom–“

With a deafening bang, the battle axe smashed a huge dent in the ground.

Gravel was scattered and dust was flying.

The violent power burst out.

“Haha! Cool!”

A Zhan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, his laughter was full of excitement and joy.

Years of accumulation and hard work finally paid off at this moment.

With his own will and perseverance, he successfully broke through and became the coveted contractor.

He turned around, looked towards the direction of the tribe with a determined gaze, and muttered to himself.

“Alian, wait for me.”

Then, Azhan picked up the sand crocodile battle axe, took firm steps, and set out on the journey back to the tribe.

The previous injuries had already been completely recovered with the integration of the sand crocodile’s power and the baptism of successful advancement.
