c181: 171: Big Dumb Croc (2)

If the crocodile had been a little more practiced in its methods, Tang Mo would have likely fallen for it today.

Thinking of that hand...

Tang Mo’s gaze turned cold. ’Perhaps that was left behind by someone from Qin Ling’s team.’

"You’re the one who won’t leave. In that case, I’ll just have to make you stay."

Tang Mo’s rank on the leaderboards was constantly dropping, but that didn’t mean her power was decreasing. On the contrary, her strength was steadily rising, making her much stronger than many of those ahead of her who had relied on abnormal treasures to brute-force their way up.

In a real fight, at least half of the people ranked above her would be no match for her.

This crocodile had strong attack and defense; it was definitely a troublesome opponent.

Tang Mo just didn’t want to stir up too much trouble on her way to find Qin Ling, but that didn’t mean she was afraid.

Now that she was cornered and unable to move, she would let this crocodile experience exactly what it felt like to be killed by its prey.

While she was fleeing, Tang Mo had already stored her backpack and the Wind Breaker in her Space.

The Wind Breaker was too weak to damage the crocodile’s armor-like hide. Tang Mo was well aware of this.

The eyes of any mutant beast with tough skin are its weak point.

This was a sentence Tang Mo had read in a research institute document.

But after carefully observing the crocodile, she wanted to know who wrote that. ’Were they just making things up while lying in a safe, warm base? How many people did they get killed with that advice? Could they please come out and die?’

After its mutation, even the crocodile’s eyelids were the same color as its armor, and its eyeballs shone like metal.

Just by looking at their sheen, Tang Mo knew that these were definitely not the fragile eyeballs of an ordinary mutant beast.

Nature wasn’t a fool; it wouldn’t just lay out the weaknesses of every predator right in front of you.

However, every living creature has a weakness. It’s just a matter of whether you observe closely enough.

Tang Mo didn’t give up easily. Instead, she and the crocodile had a staring contest, gazing at each other from a distance.

The human and beast stared at each other, neither blinking. Just as Tang Mo’s eyes were about to start watering from the strain, she suddenly had an idea!

Tang Mo’s Strength attribute wasn’t particularly high, so she had never liked head-on confrontations.

She much preferred to use her brain, to accomplish the most with the least amount of effort.

Tang Mo took a rope from her Space and tied it to the extremely sturdy branch she was on.

After tying it securely, she started to climb down along the branch, little by little.

Her speed was extremely slow, as if she were afraid the crocodile was too stupid to notice her.
