A mist swirled around, and raindrops pattered on Seran's scales.
First, she felt the pure-blooded Child of the Earth throbbing, then she felt pain in her neck.
The attack, launched from the water, was also carried out by Typhon.
Typhon, with his pure black hair!
Seran caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye; it was enormous, incredibly thick, and its neck was much thicker than Typhon's of the same size!
Only a burly, robust physique like that could subdue Seran and pin her to the shallows.
Those who devour their own kind are selective in their prey, naturally choosing the weakest. Seran's diet wouldn't include such creatures, but she didn't actively seek out one of their own kind; instead, the other found her first and attacked her in the water.
The spot where he bit was too crucial; Seran couldn't turn his neck to bite the other's body.
She could only use the strength of her own body, trying to curl up her body, using her rolled-up abdomen as a base, and then using her muscles to push the head off her neck with the accumulated strength.
But after she curled up, she was dragged along by Black Typhon. Seran roared as the pebbles on the shallows tore at her wounds, causing blood to flow freely. She was then dragged from the shallows back into the water, the wound on her neck turning into a cloud of blood in the water.
Seran was still somewhat bewildered; everything about Black Typhon was beyond Seran's experience in dealing with its own kind.
With the strength of this Black Typhon, it could probably bite the neck off a male Typhon.
Once in the water, the Black Typhon stretched its body and wrapped its neck around the other.
Seran immediately realized that this strong fellow human was about to strangle her, and she quickly rolled around in the water.
She stirred the river water into white foam, and silt surged up from the riverbed.
This is her method of dealing with the strangulation of her own kind.
She attacks her own kind, and once she bites her, she can crush the rest of the opponent's body onto herself. Even some of the weaker female Typhons are not easy to handle. Strangulation is a superhuman ability that Lundedier has given Typhon, and even as a juvenile Typhon, she can use this skill to kill prey several times her size.
Strangulation requires a fulcrum of strength, and Seran rolled in the direction of the strangulation, leaving no fulcrum to gain a foothold.
The same was true now; she shifted her body, making it impossible for Black Typhon's strangulation to hold her in place.
Raindrops pounded on the water's surface, creating millions of tiny white bubbles, which were then swallowed up by the surging waves.
Lightning struck from the depths of the clouds, illuminating the river bend for a fleeting moment—a clash and battle between red and black demons.
A deep, resonant vibration spread outwards from the water, the two distinct vibrations intertwining. The area enveloped by the vibrations was their battlefield, and no creature dared to enter this territory; even fish would avoid this bend in the river.
Famu released the strangulation, because it was simply not going to work. This Red Typhon had hunted many of its own kind, and she knew exactly how to deal with Typhon's strangulation.
Famu brought forth some power that did not belong to Typhon, and coincidentally, he had quite a bit of this power.
In the raging torrent, Famu abruptly released his grip and stopped rolling with Seran. Seran noticed the grip on his throat had disappeared, turned his head, and quickly lunged at Famu, but he missed. Famu was agile; after releasing his grip, he swiftly retracted his neck, leaving no opening.
Famu swayed its body, creating bubbles, and disappeared into the deep water.
Seran cautiously coiled herself up, paying particular attention to her lower body. The wound on her neck was deep and bleeding profusely. Her Furnace Core spun, her muscles contracted, and she forcibly closed the wound on her neck, but the defensive scales couldn't grow back in a short time.
She had been eating for a short time, and her body was full of Earth Vein Energy. The Furnace Core was at its peak, and she could continuously heal her injuries.
However, the wound on his neck was clearly not of Typhon's teeth's destructive power; that power should belong to the Dead Sun Armor.
Only the black-armored tyrant could bite through Typhon's scales.
Moreover, Seran had no idea what this powerful Black Typhon was after. The warriors who had been tracking her had long since been left far behind. In the midst of the floods, who knew where she had gone? This Black Typhon couldn't possibly be one of the warriors searching for her.
Seran for a moment.
A thought popped into my head: territorial disputes?
The other side also noticed that Tessa was not on the Mara River, but their purpose was different from Seran's; this Black Typhon was trying to take over the river.
In that case, it must be a misunderstanding between them; why resort to violence?
Seran echoed, his voice carrying along the water, "I meant no offense, Your Excellency, I was merely passing through."
After saying this, Seran, in an effort to both build rapport and intimidate the other party, said, "Bronze Tessa left the Mara River during this rainy season. You wanted to control this Mara River, so you attacked me when I wandered into these waters. I understand that perfectly. At this crucial juncture, anyone would be very wary."
"But please believe me, I have absolutely no intention of taking this territory from you. This is just a misunderstanding. Let me leave; my destination is the Samei River."
Deepwater, Famu heard some good news.
Muerjia of the Mara River is not in this river, which means that there are basically no creatures in this waterway that could pose a threat to him.
Famu was silent for a moment, then said, "Then go, but don't look back, or I will kill you."
Seran was somewhat surprised; the other party was too easy to talk to.
But this makes sense; they are predators of the same level, and there is no need for them to fight to the death unless their core interests are involved.
In the previous exchange, Seran realized the power of Black Typhon, and presumably this Black Typhon also realized that Red Typhon was no easy opponent; the rolling motion to resist strangulation was not something an ordinary Typhon could master.
Typhon has always been the one strangling other creatures, Typhon naturally he wouldn't deliberately learn how to deal with strangulation.
Red Typhon turned and left. The Child of the Earth Furnace Core remained in a state of constant resonance. If that guy didn't intend to let her go, she would know immediately and wouldn't be ambushed.
After walking for a long time, the resonance indeed received no response.
Seran breathed a sigh of relief, but the mist rose and the steam rose, and the dark object rose up.
The Furnace Core identified the opponent as Dead Sun Armor!
But in Seran's eyes, it was clearly the same Black Typhon from before!
"Boom--!" The High-Temperature Domain was released, the water surface boiled, the rain turned into white smoke, and sharp teeth opened and closed, gripping Seran's neck. This time, the High-Temperature Domain burned Seran's muscles, and the high temperature came from Famu's body. Black Typhon bit Seran's neck and then wrapped around her, and circle after circle of scorching heat surrounded Seran in the center.
This meant that the warmth had seeped into her body.
Seran was unaware that Famu was tracking her, because Famu had climbed ashore and was crawling deep into the dense forest along the Mara River, using the Scepter System to pinpoint Seran's location.
Once Seran was exhausted and lowered his guard, he dived from the riverbank into the water and launched another attack.
Typhon was the Hunter of the ambush, Seran was constantly on the run, and Famu ambushed her twice.
