Chapter 1397 Black Crocodile Invasion
Under the starry sky, the dim tide rolled at the edge of the island, and in the sound of waves, a giant shadow emerged from the water.
From its general outline, it looked like a huge black crocodile, but its head had no facial features, only a ferocious giant mouth split open to the neck. Its tail strangely divided into two, like two tentacles swaying in mid-air, and at the end of each tentacle grew a dark green eye, emitting a dim green light in the darkness.
Its body was comparable to a medium-sized cruise ship, but its speed was incredibly fast. Crawling out from the waves, its body slipped into the ground like a shadow, leaving only the two tentacle eyes of its tail on the surface, like periscopes of a submarine extending above the sea, moving rapidly across the ground.
From the aura they emitted, they were all at the level of divine beasts.
Under the dim starry sky, three black crocodiles landed on the island from three different directions, instantly disappearing on the beach.
One of the black crocodiles was speeding through the dark forest. Since its main body had transformed into a shadow and slipped into the ground, the complex terrain had no effect on its enormous body. In the pair of dark green eyes floating on the ground, excitement appeared.
Decades ago, their species had been instructed by that great lord to infiltrate the borders of Great Xia. Relying on their extremely strong concealment talents, they had lurked at the bottom of the deep sea of Great Xia for long years. Now the borders of Great Xia were locked down by the gods and war checkpoints of Great Xia, but those who had been hiding in the deep sea had not been discovered.
After decades of lurking, their species finally received orders from that great lord. If they completed this mission, they would have the opportunity to severely damage Great Xia and return to their homeland!
And this island, which supposedly guarded the national fortune of Great Xia, was their target this time.
So far, their operation had been very smooth. For absolute safety, they had taken three full hours to travel from the sea area a hundred miles away to this island. Only by doing so could they perfectly conceal their form and aura. Now they had successfully landed on the island in three separate routes without being discovered.
It seemed that the defense of this island guarding the national fortune of Great Xia was not as tight as they had imagined.
Just as the black crocodile was secretly rejoicing, a figure approached from the other end of the forest. It was startled and immediately concealed its aura to the extreme, inching toward the other party.
Had it been discovered?
Through the hazy starlight, it saw the figure clearly.
It remembered this human. During the past few days of observation, this face had been constantly in its sight. It hid its form in a bush, with two dark green eyeballs pressed against the ground, secretly observing.
The person stood in the forest, looking around as if somewhat nervous.
“They shouldn’t be able to hear me here…” he muttered.
He coughed lightly twice and began to clear his throat.
The black crocodile, crouching in the darkness, felt confused.
Then, a strange song echoed in the darkness.
“The big windmill turns creaking and squeaking~~ The scenery here is so beautiful~ The sky is beautiful~ The ground is beautiful…”
The moment it heard this song, the black crocodile’s eyes, pressed against the ground, suddenly became unfocused. A mysterious power invaded its body, making it tremble slightly in the darkness!
“Who?!!!”
Lin Qiye, who was singing halfway, quickly reacted, summoning the Ama-no-Murakumo sword and throwing it toward the direction of the strange sound.
The black crocodile, being a divine beast species, was momentarily caught by the sudden influence of the [Soul Control Song], but quickly broke free. However, by then, the Ama-no-Murakumo sword had already flashed to its front!
The black crocodile’s form slipped back into shadow, dodging like lightning to the side. Even so, the sharp blade still cut off a section of its tail tentacle, along with the dark green eyeball at the end, which was instantly thrown into the air!
A painful howl came from the black crocodile’s giant mouth!
There really was someone?!
Lin Qiye watched with his own eyes as the dark green eyeball was cut off and fell to the ground, and his heart skipped a beat!
Since Bai Li Pangpang had overheard him practicing singing in his room late at night, Lin Qiye had changed his strategy, sneaking into the nearby forest to practice after everyone was asleep, which had continued for several days… but he never expected that today, as soon as he started singing, he would draw out a monster.
Before starting to sing, Lin Qiye had explored the surroundings with his mental power and hadn’t detected any creatures nearby. This sudden turn of events truly shocked him.
Li Qengqiang had said earlier that there were no other creatures on this island, and now a mysterious monster with strange eyeballs suddenly appeared. Lin Qiye’s first thought was that someone was trying to ambush the island!
Lin Qiye held the Ama-no-Murakumo sword in one hand and summoned [Zhan Bai] in the other, took a deep breath, and shouted toward the sky:
“Enemy attack!!!!”
The resounding voice echoed in every corner of the island. Almost at the same time as this voice rang out, two thunderous explosion sounds came from the other two sides of the island.
The black crocodile, seeing that Lin Qiye had directly exposed their existence, felt a sense of foreboding. It instinctively wanted to kill this young man who wasn’t even as tall as an adult human, but remembering Yue Huai’s instructions before departure, it immediately transformed into a shadow and slipped into the ground, rushing at full speed toward the depths of the island!
Lin Qiye, who had been prepared for a fight to the death, was slightly stunned when he saw the monster turn and flee.
The next moment he realized, his form transformed into a streak of night color and followed closely behind!
The target of these monsters wasn’t them at all… but the island itself!
“Stop!” Lin Qiye growled, his form flashing above the black crocodile’s shadow, [Zhan Bai] fiercely stabbing into the black crocodile’s back. The blade seemed to be stuck between rocks, carrying Lin Qiye’s body, rapidly moving through the forest.
It seems that even though these black crocodiles slip into the ground, they still have a physical form… Lin Qiye thought to himself.
Lin Qiye gripped the Ama-no-Murakumo sword and stabbed like lightning toward the black crocodile’s neck. This time the black crocodile knew the danger, turned its body, and carried Lin Qiye straight toward a hard cliff wall!
The black crocodile could slip into shadows and directly pass through the terrain from the bottom of the mountain, but Lin Qiye was after all a three-dimensional being and couldn’t bypass this cliff wall.
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed, and he was forced to stop his Ama-no-Murakumo sword. A faint light flashed across [Zhan Bai]’s blade, and his form instantly slipped into nothingness, passing through the mountain!
The two figures passed through the mountain peak one after another, but the black crocodile was clearly faster. It shook off Lin Qiye and headed straight for the deepest part of the island.
At this moment, a figure descended from the sky!
An Qingyu, carrying a black coffin on his back, landed precisely in the black crocodile’s path. He slapped his hands on the ground, and ice instantly froze the surface. A thick wall of ice and snow rose from the ground!
