Chapter 189: Swamp Crocodile
On the exile planet.
Inside the flying treasure, Yi Chen had successfully improved three major skills and was now reconstructing the law seals.
At the entrance, Bai Ruo Xin observed her surroundings while playing a guessing game with the Little Gold Ball using golden fur.
One of them held a handful of golden fur, and they guessed the total number of golden fur in both hands. The one who guessed closest could take the golden fur from the other.
The Little Gold Ball, aware of divine consciousness, could sense its presence, preventing Bai Ruo Xin from cheating using divine consciousness.
However, it still won less often than it lost.
Because its intelligence was greatly outmatched.
When it held over twenty strands of golden fur in its little fist, it dared to guess that the total was ten.
With every pull, it lost more and more golden fur.
Fortunately, it didn’t fear losing.
When it lost everything, it could self-destruct, and all the golden fur that Bai Ruo Xin had won would return to it.
Of course, this was because Bai Ruo Xin did not hold it against the Little Gold Ball.
Based on Bai Ruo Xin’s tests, the Little Gold Ball could choose how to revive after self-destructing.
It could choose to fully reassemble its body or leave some parts scattered.
The golden fur on its body was included in that choice.
It just hurt a bit when pulling it out.
“We’ve arrived! Prepare for battle.”
Over a low-lying area that covered over ten thousand square kilometers of swamp, Bai Ruo Xin released the golden fur she had won.
She began controlling the flying treasure, swiftly gliding over the calm swamp.
After more than an hour of searching the entire swamp, she found no sign of the Western Army encountering any powerful fierce beasts.
After pondering for a moment, she began descending with the flying treasure while holding the Little Gold Ball.
When the flying treasure descended to approximately one hundred fifty meters above the ground, she notified the Little Gold Ball:
“Shoot down with needles; the frequency doesn’t need to be too fast, but the power must be strong.”
Squeak…
The Little Gold Ball gladly accepted the order.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Then, the needles on the Little Gold Ball began shooting down towards the swamp below continuously.
The Little Gold Ball had clearly turned into a one-handed operated, infinite machine gun.
Bai Ruo Xin, holding onto the Little Gold Ball, sprayed the swamp beneath her while flying slowly through the air with the flying treasure.
…
“They’re coming! The only creature that can make Yi Chen fail this hunt is the swamp crocodile.”
“I feel like it’s a bit dangerous for Bai Ruo Xin to bring the flying treasure down to a height of one hundred fifty meters! That’s a Level 70 fierce beast.”
“No need to worry; after all, they have air superiority, and Bai Ruo Xin is quick to react. Even if the swamp crocodile launches a sudden attack, one hundred fifty meters is high enough for her to respond.”
The audience in the live room finally became interested.
Throughout these days, Yi Chen had dominated the competition.
The strongest fierce beast they had encountered was only Level 57.
From start to finish, Yi Chen hadn’t even shown his face, waiting for the Little Gold Ball to get tired.
The flying sword zipped through, finishing the task in just a few moments.
As a result, Yi Chen had completed his improvements to the Cloud Treading Technique and the Method of All Laws days ago.
However, no one had seen just how strong the Sword Energy from the Heaven-Slashing Technique was or how fast the Cloud Treading Technique could go.
Now, with the swamp crocodile being stronger than Yi Chen, it would undoubtedly force Yi Chen to show his full potential.
The only regret was that the wet and muddy ground below didn’t provide an opportunity for Yi Chen’s improved Cloud Treading Technique to shine.
As for danger, no one was worried.
By estimation, Yi Chen’s strength reached at least the level of a Level 65 fierce beast.
With the Method of All Laws’ Wind Riding spell, his speed was hardly less than the Cloud Treading Technique. While holding air superiority, the Heaven-Slashing Technique could also attack from a distance, ensuring his safety.
…
In the center of the swamp.
In the muddy thicket.
A dark water arrow suddenly shot out, heading towards the back of the stone house.
It moved at astonishing speed, like a bolt of black lightning.
With a clever angle and without making a sound, it was truly impossible to defend against.
Yet, Bai Ruo Xin quickly reacted, controlling the stone house to fly up at an angle.
Her divine consciousness only covered a range of about four meters.
With her sight and hearing, she couldn’t detect the water arrow’s attack.
However, having reached the sixth level of Spirit Consciousness, her Perception Ability was quite good.
Plus, she had been prepared for the attack. The moment she sensed a crisis when the water arrow appeared, she acted immediately.
Successfully, she controlled the stone house to move out of the attack range before the water arrow was within twenty meters.
The black water arrow missed its target and soared into the sky.
It didn’t stop until it reached over two hundred meters and then fell downwards.
Splash!
It landed on a cluster of bushes.
The lush bushes instantly shriveled up, releasing thick black smoke.
In the blink of an eye, they were completely corroded.
The black liquid even spread out, eroding the muddy swamp and creating a pit with a diameter of five to six meters.
“So insidious!”
Bai Ruo Xin looked down but couldn’t find the specific location of the swamp crocodile.
This swamp crocodile, although powerful, planned to remain hidden and launch a sneak attack.
Normally, high-ground swamps have low plants and moss, while low-ground swamps have generally taller plants.
Right now, this swamp was low-lying, filled with various tall plants.
As the wind blew, ripples appeared.
The small pools continued to sway.
She couldn’t find a trace of the swamp crocodile at all.
The golden fur’s spray seemed ineffective.
The swamp crocodile was too cunning; even if hit, it would endure until the stone house flew past before launching a sudden attack.
It was also possible that the golden fur from the Little Gold Ball couldn’t even break through the swamp crocodile’s defense.
She turned to look at Yi Chen.
Seeing that the unknown energy shape he was constructing was only halfway done.
Bai Ruo Xin controlled the flying treasure to rise up to over a thousand meters before stopping.
Then, she took out a small stool from her storage ring and sat down.
Resting her chin on her hand, she quietly watched Yi Chen create the energy shape.
The Little Gold Ball seemed to have gotten used to Bai Ruo Xin’s daze, as it used to prop up its short hands on its plump chin to mimic her.
Now, it immediately slipped over to Yi Chen’s side, lying down beside him, and fell into a deep sleep.
As Yi Chen constructed the law seals, they suddenly collapsed, resulting in failure.
Yi Chen remained calm.
Spirit power surged as he began controlling the flying treasure to drop rapidly downwards.
He stopped only when he was fifty meters above the swamp and started moving quickly back and forth.
His divine consciousness constantly searched below.
Bai Ruo Xin immediately stopped paying attention to the handsome guy.
Although her strength likely wouldn’t contribute much, she still took out her long sword and prepared herself.
Yi Chen’s divine consciousness could cover a range of one hundred meters.
The flying treasure was also a treasure he had bound with a Blood Pledge of Dominance, naturally incomparable to Bai Ruo Xin’s.
The stone house flew at breakneck speed above the swamp.
Soon, Yi Chen sensed a large crocodile measuring six to seven meters long and over two meters wide lurking in the mud beneath a thicket in the southeast.
However, the crocodile was flat with its height barely reaching fifty centimeters.
The swamp crocodile clearly sensed Yi Chen’s divine consciousness.
Without hesitation, it slightly raised its jaw.
From one of its nostrils, it instantly shot out a black water arrow toward the stone house.
Its massive body quickly navigated through the mud.
As Yi Chen controlled the stone house to swiftly dodge the black water arrow, he waved his hand.
The spiritual sword, shining with a silver light, flew out of the stone house, aiming towards the swamp crocodile below.
The swamp crocodile reacted very quickly; seeing the flying sword approach, it continuously shot out black water arrows from its nostrils.
Clang!
The first arrow hit the spiritual sword directly, sending it flying away.
The remaining black water arrows, aiming at the spiritual sword, missed completely.
“This fierce beast seems strong!”
Yi Chen instantly became interested.
It was his first time encountering a fierce beast that could intercept a flying sword mid-flight.
Moreover, the first black water arrow had stopped the spiritual sword.
In the swamp, after being struck by the water arrow, the spiritual sword surprisingly showed no signs of corrosion.
The swamp crocodile flicked its long tail and quickly turned to escape towards the northwest.
Its survival strategy was simple: avoid battles unless it had a hundred percent chance of winning.
