The battle erupted instantly!
Haru took the lead, his body's fat burning rapidly, energy causing his muscles to bulge, his tall frame anchoring the front.
Boom!
With a single flick of his tail, Haru was sent flying a hundred meters away.
Wuyong roared, "Charge... Exploding Fist!"
As the primary damage dealer among the four, Wuyong's Exploding Fist dealt immense damage. Each punch that landed on the crocodilian beast kicked up a cloud of dust and smoke, fragments of its scales.
Scorpion unfurled his backpack, extracting one gas canister after another. "Buy me time! I need to concoct a potent antidote to counter his vicious toxins!"
The Human Skin Doll entered its berserk mode, its shapeshifting body growing to over ten meters tall.
Haru also returned simultaneously. That single blow had revealed a ferocity in the man's eyes!
...
Zhang Wei nodded. "Excellent, excellent. They are all talented individuals! Indeed, it is between life and death that one truly comprehends the meaning of being alive."
Tian Zui, standing beside him, remarked, "They are no match for the crocodilian beast. The bloodline of Olympus possesses inexhaustible power. If their defenses cannot be breached, they will eventually be exhausted and defeated."
"I know. I'm just giving them something to do, letting them burn off some excess energy. After all, the hungrier and more exhausted one is, the more satisfying food will be."
Mr. Luo blinked.
So Zhang Wei was thinking along these lines. Even the diners' states were taken into account.
Mr. Luo licked his lips and chuckled, "Um... find me an opponent too, won't you? I haven't thrown a punch in ages, and it's making me antsy."
Zhang Wei rolled his eyes. "You're better off keeping an eye on those four. If they get into trouble, pull them back. Don't let the crocodilian beast play with them to death."
Saying this,
Zhang Wei, pulling Mr. Luo along, began preparing dinner for the others.
Though it was called "helping," it was Mr. Luo who did all the work, while Zhang Wei merely directed with his mouth, offering ideas and strategies.
After all, his time couldn't be entirely consumed by these few individuals. In the right-hand side hall, a massive amount of ingredients awaited his processing and storage.
This Gourmet Casino expedition had yielded good results, and for Zhang Wei, it was an unfamiliar territory that demanded considerable mental effort.

...
Elsewhere, the crocodilian beast opened its massive maw, unleashing a sonic wave of shattering force at its full power!
Combined with the beast's sheer size, the sonic wave covered a radius of over ten kilometers, making evasion impossible!
All four were blasted away simultaneously.
The Human Skin Doll's flesh quickly healed, but its bones were severely cracked. The residual force of the sonic wave reverberated within its organs, causing continuous damage.
Scorpion was not faring any better. His sturdy armor was fissured, his mask shattered, revealing a terrifying face marred with countless scratches, bearing clear signs of extensive metallic augmentation.
Wuyong and Haru also coughed up large amounts of blood. This crocodilian beast was utterly impossible to contend with!
Opening its mouth wide, the crocodilian beast attacked again!
Scorpion loaded the prepared poison into a launcher. The Human Skin Doll entered its aerial mode to draw attention, while Haru and Wuyong launched a frontal assault!
Aiming for the mouth...
Fire!
Like a missile trailing smoke, the poison canister flew directly into the crocodilian beast's maw! Emerald green foam surged, instantly filling the entire oral cavity!
...
The crocodilian beast's eyes widened, thick, dark blood trickling from its nose and mouth. It struggled and roared in extreme agony, unable to clear the poison.
"Good!"
"The poison is working!"
"Amazing! To think you could take down such a powerful monster!"
Scorpion declared confidently, "The venoms I carry are all carefully selected composite ingredients. When combined, they can counter enemies of different species and physical constitutions! Even without pairing them, they are super potent toxins capable of easily slaughtering cities and destroying nations!"
A fierce wind swept in!
From the dense green toxic fog, two enormous dragon claws emerged!
They immediately lunged towards Wuyong and Haru!
Within its grasp, Wuyong roared with all his might, veins bulging on his forehead!
"So... so terrifyingly strong, its power is not diminished at all!"
"Still an overwhelming force we cannot counter!"
From the dense green mist, the crocodilian beast's face emerged, its eyes already clouding over... green saliva dripping from its maw...
As expected!
A brute force monster of this magnitude wouldn't be defeated so easily!
"Damn... damn it!"
The sound of cracking bones echoed. Wuyong could no longer hold on!
From a great distance, Atlas said, "Tian Zui, you should act now. They'll be in too deep if we wait any longer."
"Hmm... no rush. Their potential can still be further exploited!"
Years of comfortable living had lulled the delicious power within them into slumber. Haru, Scorpion, and the Human Skin Doll were all on the blacklist. Wuyong, too, was Zhang Wei's most prized subordinate.
Tian Zui believed in them, knowing they still harbored immense power.
Indeed, in the face of mortal danger, Wuyong and Haru unleashed unimaginable strength. Under the crocodilian beast's massive claws, explosive air currents surged endlessly!
As the crocodilian beast showed a flicker of surprise, a green javelin shot directly towards its eye corner, transforming into a pool of viscous liquid on its eyeball!
A petty trick!
Nictitating Membrane!
Also known as the third eyelid, it is a transparent or translucent membrane found in some animals that, when rolled across the eye, protects it from damage while maintaining visibility.
Birds can use this part to shield their corneas from wind and sand when flying at high altitudes, and reptiles can use it to moisten their eyeballs.
The crocodilian beast's nictitating membrane was even thicker and more crystalline. Even when covering its eye, it could see the outside world, acting as a transparent eyelid. It possessed considerable toughness and decent defensive capabilities.
Sizzle sizzle~
As the green liquid landed on the eyelid, it immediately produced corrosive foam and a hissing sound. The crystalline eyelid turned cloudy, and excruciating pain shot directly to the brain!
In pain, Wuyong and Haru broke free from its grasp!
They didn't retreat but instead turned and punched, striking the crocodilian beast's vulnerable throat!
"How toxic!"
"Senior Scorpion, you truly are trustworthy!"
In response to the Human Skin Doll's praise, Scorpion did not become complacent but explained, "I knew that reptiles have nictitating membrane structures, so I didn't use biological toxins like proteases. This time, I applied a strong alkaline substance with powerful corrosive properties. It heats up upon contact with moisture and creates a difficult-to-remove residue!"
As expected, one of the crocodilian beast's eyes swelled, tears streaming out as it tried to wash away the toxin!
Wuyong and Haru continued their combo attack, punch after punch landing on the crocodilian beast's body.
"Let's finish it off in one go!"
Scorpion and the Human Skin Doll leaped high, delivering equally impressive physical damage, forming a quadruple combo!
"Farewell, crocodilian beast!"
"Thank you for your valiant company!"
