Seeing that its tail had missed Lin Taichu, the Sea-Splitting Beast charged again. This time, instead of pouncing to bite him, it opened its mouth and sprayed out a stream of Black Liquid.
Lin Taichu caught a whiff of a pungent odor and quickly held his breath, dodging to the side. The Black Liquid landed on the ground with a sizzling sound, rapidly corroding a hole into the floor.
"Poison!" Lin Taichu was startled. Luckily, he had dodged quickly. If the liquid had touched him, he would definitely have been injured.
Seeing how quickly Lin Taichu had dodged, the Sea-Splitting Beast grew even more violent. It launched attack after attack at him—pouncing and biting one moment, whipping its tail the next, then spraying poison—forcing Lin Taichu to keep evading without any chance to strike back.
The chatter in the stands gradually died down. Everyone was worried for Lin Taichu—at this rate, he would sooner or later be hurt by the Sea-Splitting Beast.
Ollie sat in the VIP section with a smug smile on his face. He felt Lin Taichu would not last much longer and would soon be killed by the Sea-Splitting Beast.
As he dodged, Lin Taichu watched the Sea-Splitting Beast's movements, searching for its weakness.
He discovered that although the Sea-Splitting Beast attacked fiercely, its movements followed a pattern—after every spray of poison, it would pause briefly, as though gathering strength.
Moreover, though its eyes looked vicious, they turned somewhat sluggishly. Its vision might have blind spots.
I've got it. Lin Taichu came up with a plan.
The Sea-Splitting Beast sprayed its poison again, then paused. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Taichu immediately rushed toward its eyes.
The Sea-Splitting Beast realized what was happening and tried to close its eyes, but it was already too late.
