At that moment, Qi Ling instantly arrived in front of the Abyssal Crocodile King, stretched out her hands to support the upper jaw of the Abyssal Crocodile King's mouth, and at the same time stepped on the lower jaw of the Abyssal Crocodile King to pry its mouth open.
" Kurumi, hurry up!" Qi Ling shouted to Kurumi while holding the Abyssal Crocodile King's mouth open.
"Alright, Mr. Qi Ling." Kurumi, like an elf, brushed past Qi Ling and smiled at him, "My life is now in your hands."
Then, Kurumi transformed into a streak of black light and entered the mouth of the Abyssal Crocodile King, disappearing from sight. It was at this moment that the Abyssal Crocodile King finally realized that there might be something inside its mouth.
These people had already harmed it in every way before, and now they dared to stand right in its mouth? It had never been looked down upon like this before; it was an utter disgrace to the crocodile's life!
The Abyssal Crocodile King immediately exerted its strength, biting down hard, trying to turn Qi Ling into a pulp! With its powerful bite, none of its previous enemies had escaped this fate.
But this time, just as the Abyssal Crocodile King unleashed its power, Qi Ling used all her strength to hold its mouth open, preventing it from succeeding.
Although it was a contest of strength that Qi Ling possessed, even she was still somewhat inferior to the Abyssal Crocodile King. Fortunately, the Crocodile King had been injured beforehand, so it was unable to fully mobilize its strength, which allowed Qi Ling to barely hold on.
Although the wound on the Abyssal Crocodile King's back only pierced its carapace and did not damage its internal organs, its muscles had been damaged to some extent, making it unable to fully mobilize its strength.
Because of its incredible defense, the Abyssal Crocodile King has very poor self-healing ability after being injured, and it takes a long time to heal its wounds. This undoubtedly gives Qi Ling more opportunities.
The veins on his arms were bulging as if they were about to burst. Qi Ling had already unleashed his Demon God Body and was fighting the Abyssal Crocodile King with all his might.
Qian Xunji and Xue Qinghe, watching from the sidelines, cheered for the Abyssal Crocodile King in their hearts, thinking to themselves, "Why can't it put in a little more effort and kill Qi Ling quickly!"
After an unknown amount of time, Qi Ling sensed that the Abyssal Crocodile King's power seemed to be growing stronger. Clearly, it was gradually overcoming the effects of its injuries and unleashing even greater power.
Such power has exceeded Qi Ling's limits! This level of magical beast is indeed beyond Qi Ling's limits, but he doesn't know how much longer it will take for Kurumi to escape from the Abyssal Crocodile King's mouth.
"There's no other way, you forced me to do this! You stinky crocodile!" Qi Ling said helplessly. Then, a flash of light appeared beside her, and the Demon God Halberd appeared next to her, pressing against the Abyssal Crocodile King's mouth from above and below!
Other weapons would probably not be able to withstand such powerful pressure, but the Demon God Halberd was a divine weapon once used by the Blood Devil, and even Qi Ling himself did not know how to destroy it, so he naturally used it as a support.
As Qi Ling had expected, no matter how hard the Abyssal Crocodile King tried, it could not destroy the Demon God Halberd, not even causing the slightest deformation. The sturdiness of this divine weapon far exceeded Qi Ling's imagination.
With the Demon God Halberd as support, everything went much more smoothly. No matter how much the Abyssal Crocodile King shook its head or tried every other method, it was impossible for the short-limbed creature to shake off Qi Ling.
And so, the Abyssal Crocodile King struggled fiercely, its movements incredibly impressive, but in a single instant, it suddenly stopped all its movements and became completely still.
Qi Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Kurumi's plan had finally succeeded, and the Abyssal Crocodile King had finally been defeated from within.
A black light flashed again from the mouth of the Abyssal Crocodile King, and Kurumi appeared beside Qi Ling, still as composed as before, without even a speck of dirt on her clothes.
At this moment, Kurumi smiled as she looked at Qi Ling, holding a dark-colored bead in her hand. Qi Ling couldn't help but ask, "It seems you succeeded? What is this?"
"Just a little trinket, this guy's magic core," Kurumi laughed. "Want it? I'll give it to you."
Qi Ling said nonchalantly, "Forget it. You risked your life to destroy this guy, I don't need this stuff."
No one expected that the two of them would actually defeat a level 20 monster, including Xiluo. She looked at Kurumi and Qi Ling in surprise as they walked back and said, "Wow, you guys are amazing! You actually did it! It's so unexpected!"
"Congratulations, Qi Ling, Kurumi! You now have 20 points, making you the team with the most points! The rest of you need to keep up the good work!"
The other three groups, excluding Qi Ling, were not surprised by the result, but they did not expect such a large gap. They even doubted whether they could catch up with Qi Ling's group's current score even if they played another round.
Although this would undoubtedly strengthen their unity, Qi Ling was confident that she could overcome any means they might use.
Then, Xiluo gathered all four groups together and said to them, "The first competition is over. Your scores are your own results. Now, the second round of the competition will officially begin."
"This round will be completely different from the first round, because you will be facing a formidable opponent together!"
"However, how you deal with your enemies is up to you! Whether you cooperate or hinder each other, you can do as you please, and the final outcome depends entirely on your decisions!"
Although the level that Xiluo mentioned doesn't require mandatory cooperation, since there's such an option, it's natural that several people should cooperate to achieve better results!
Led by Xiluo, the group quickly arrived at a wasteland. Xiluo pointed to a huge cave in the distance and said to them, "Alright, now you can begin your competition. The details are as follows: everyone enters the cave and retrieves forty-eight Ye Mingzhu from within. The number of Ye Mingzhu you collect will be your score!"
