Chapter 211: The Future Leader of Fierce Beasts
It’s over!
This boss is indeed unreliable.
The Swamp Crocodile realized that calling for help was useless, while the Giant Shark kept increasing its biting force, trying to pierce through its scales with sharp teeth.
It gritted its teeth.
Whoosh!
Its massive body suddenly darted away, leaving behind only a thin layer of crocodile skin.
A look of surprise flashed in the Giant Shark’s eyes.
It turned to see the Swamp Crocodile fleeing at full speed and opened its mouth, chasing after it once more.
Rumble…
The Swamp Crocodile continued to howl for help.
Yet, it received no response from Yi Chen.
It could only run away at full speed.
However, it couldn’t match the Giant Shark’s speed.
Soon, the blue light from the spike on the Giant Shark’s forehead shot out.
A massive current spread rapidly along the seabed.
Fish and shrimp within a radius of several hundred meters instantly suffocated.
The Swamp Crocodile’s huge body shook violently from the electric shock.
When it finally regained its composure, it felt a sharp pain in its abdomen.
It had been bitten by the Giant Shark once again.
The Swamp Crocodile, left with no choice, had to use its skin-shedding escape method again and rushed out.
But this escape method was merely a temporary solution.
Its speed could not keep up with the Giant Shark, and it had no way to resist the Giant Shark’s underwater lightning.
Additionally, although its skin-shedding escape method could be used repeatedly, each time it did so, its scale defense would decrease a little.
Over time, it would surely die.
In the past, it would have chosen to surrender immediately.
But now, it had a boss and was subject to its life and death.
It had no doubt that if it surrendered, regardless of whether the Giant Shark agreed or not, the crystal inside its body would explode without delay.
This method had a survival chance that was almost zero.
If it were in the swamp, it could use its ace to dive into the ground and escape the chase.
But this was in the ocean.
The deeper it dove, the more its strength weakened, and its speed slowed down, making it impossible to escape the Giant Shark’s pursuit.
By its estimate, unless Yi Chen came to the rescue, its chances of surviving this escape from the jaws of the shark were definitely below ten percent.
However, it didn’t understand what this boss was thinking.
He remained indifferent, even though the Giant Shark’s power wasn’t strong enough to be unstoppable, yet he refused to lend a helping hand.
The Swamp Crocodile felt anxious.
It sensed that it was in serious trouble.
Wait!
A spark of inspiration flashed in its mind.
It suddenly remembered Yi Chen’s earlier words about its survival in the small swamp.
This boss was indeed more cunning than itself.
But when it came to his little brother, he didn’t seem too harsh.
At the very least, those words contained the Principles of Heaven and Earth, enlightening it and showing how it could break through its survival bottleneck and continue to live on.
If it just let itself go, it wouldn’t receive any guidance.
Moreover, with its strength, it could still be of some use.
At the very least, it could serve as a scout and vanguard, which was absolutely qualified.
There was no reason to be killed by the Giant Shark, which was not too strong, while the boss stood by and did nothing.
So, what was the real issue that prevented this boss from coming to its rescue?
Hiss, hiss, hiss…
Just as it was racking its brain, a powerful current surged from all directions.
The Swamp Crocodile’s mind went blank from the intense stimulation of the current.
Its body began to shake violently.
After struggling to withstand this current, it finally regained its composure.
But its abdomen was once again caught in the sharp teeth of the Giant Shark.
The first thing the Swamp Crocodile thought of was to use the skin-shedding escape.
But just as it was about to do so, Yi Chen’s earlier command flashed in its mind.
"Go and confront it head-on, forcing out all its strength."
In an instant, it experienced a moment of clarity.
It finally understood why Yi Chen was unwilling to rescue it.
Because it had not followed the orders.
Rumble…
The Swamp Crocodile’s eyes suddenly sparked with a fierce red light.
Regardless of the reason, it understood that this was its chance for survival.
It twisted its body fiercely, disregarding the pain in its abdomen, and opened its enormous mouth to bite down on the tail of the Giant Shark.
In an instant, both creatures engaged in a fierce bite, unwilling to let go.
They increased their powerful biting force desperately.
The Giant Shark had the upper hand; as it intensified its strength and after two skin-shedding escapes, the Swamp Crocodile’s scale defense had weakened significantly.
The sharp teeth began to slowly penetrate the Swamp Crocodile’s scales, with blood constantly oozing out.
At the same time, the Giant Shark was not unscathed.
While the Swamp Crocodile’s bite force was not as strong, the Giant Shark’s defense was also inferior to that of the Swamp Crocodile.
Its tail was bleeding profusely from the Swamp Crocodile’s bite.
The two massive creatures resorted to primitive means of attack, fiercely tearing at each other.
Both sets of eyes carried a terrifying ferocity and brutality.
Even the Swamp Crocodile, which had always feared death and never engaged in a bloody battle, was now all in.
Despite knowing that the Giant Shark would likely bite through its abdomen first, it fought back recklessly without caring about the consequences.
Inside the stone house,
Yi Chen slightly raised the corners of his mouth.
With a wave of his hand,
the spiritual sword flew out from the storage ring.
With a piercing sound of slicing through the air, it shot into the ocean like a lightning bolt.
Once in the water, the speed of the spiritual sword slowed slightly, yet it still moved like thunder, heading straight for the Giant Shark’s throat.
The Giant Shark, already blinded by rage, firmly clung to the Swamp Crocodile despite sensing the impending danger.
Swish!
A cold light instantly pierced through its throat.
Chill spread outward.
Not only did it form a frost spike at the Giant Shark’s throat, but it also froze the surrounding seawater.
In the blink of an eye, the Giant Shark’s brain was completely frozen by the spreading extreme cold.
Its terrifying biting force gradually faded away.
The Swamp Crocodile felt the pressure lift entirely.
Suddenly, it experienced a sense of having survived a catastrophe.
It was a winning bet.
The leader realized that the reason he had not acted to rescue them was that he had not followed orders.
While feeling grateful, he was also secretly amazed.
In just this short time apart, the leader’s strength seemed to have increased by several times.
With just a casually performed One Sword, he had effortlessly defeated the powerful Giant Shark.
From what he felt, even his own defense probably would not have escaped being pierced and killed in one strike.
It was terrifyingly strong.
If they had encountered this last time, he might not have even had the chance to beg for mercy before being killed in one blow.
Rumble…
The Swamp Crocodile endured the pain in its abdomen and bit the Giant Shark as it surfaced, its eyes filled with a flattering expression.
“From now on, no matter what situation you face, remember your choice today.”
Yi Chen’s divine consciousness enveloped the Swamp Crocodile: “Being cunning, cautious, and avoiding trouble can indeed help you live longer. But no matter how uncompetitive you are, you have already broken the balance, and you cannot escape the laws of nature.”
“Crisis is not something you can simply avoid. Integrating into a larger area and becoming stronger is the only way out.”
“Life or death depends on a single thought. In critical moments, making the right choice is the main reason you can continue on this path of survival.”
Gratitude, passion, and admiration flickered in the Swamp Crocodile’s eyes.
It understood that Yi Chen was teaching it a deeper way of survival.
Of course, this came at a price.
While teaching it how to survive, Yi Chen also made it understand the risks of following a powerful leader, how to make choices at crucial moments, and what benefits there would be.
“Deal with this Giant Shark yourself!”
Yi Chen knew that the powerful fierce beasts were treasures in themselves and generously rewarded the Swamp Crocodile.
For fierce beasts, the flesh and crystals of other fierce beasts were the best supplements to enhance their strength.
The Swamp Crocodile was overjoyed and feasted happily.
“If this crocodile can survive and return, arrange some fierce beasts for it to command. Let it be a team leader for a certain army! And throw all resources that can enhance fierce beasts’ strength to it.”
Yi Chen communicated this to Bai Ruo Xin.
Bai Ruo Xin nodded.
She understood that Yi Chen had taken a liking to this Swamp Crocodile and planned to cultivate it into a leader of fierce beasts.
