From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

The poisonous cloud tumbled in mid-air, and almost instantly, several shadows plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily onto the swampy ground and splashing up a large amount of mud.

As he watched the two low-level crocodiles being skinned, looking like they were about to become a delicious meal for these wild boar demons, a cold light flashed in Shi Yanhuang's gem-like eyes.

"Li Da, why are you ignoring these idiots? Since when did it become the wild boar demon's turn to hunt our crocodile clan? This is truly going against the natural order!"

Upon hearing this, Li Da hurriedly replied with reluctance, "Godmother, I also wanted to swallow them whole, but unfortunately these wild boar demons have quite a background."

"Their clan is nearby. The one with the red hair on its head is the offspring of a Foundation Establishment stage wild boar demon. It's incredibly arrogant."

"So you're just going to let it hunt here like that!?"

Shi Yan's voice was cold, but Li Da continued to explain: "If it were just one early Foundation Establishment cultivator, I would naturally not be afraid, nor would I be afraid of two or three. But that clan is said to have an ancestor who is already in the middle Foundation Establishment stage and is still in seclusion, not appearing in the world for many years."

"Moreover, for some reason, that wild boar demon clan produced five early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who call each other brothers. Although they aren't particularly powerful individually, they stick together very tightly!"

"Um."

Shi Yan nodded. So this group of wild boar demons did indeed have some background, which was why they dared to do such things so openly.

However, she has a bad temper, so naturally she wouldn't just stand by and watch.

A burst of mud erupted ahead, and several wild boar demons, covered in dust, struggled to their feet, each staring at Li Da with red eyes, looking furious but unable to speak out.

Suddenly, they all saw Shi Yan, who had transformed into a tall human figure. She exuded a Foundation Establishment stage aura that terrified them, and their hearts sank.

It turns out that a female crocodile has appeared here sometime ago, and she's even stronger than Li Da!

The red-haired boar demon was the offspring of a Foundation Establishment stage boar demon, so naturally it knew some things.

Within this swamp, one can assess the strength of Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts. If they are not actively attacking, one can observe whether their transformations are complete.

The more complete it is, the stronger the monster is.

The stone smoke before them filled them with a sense of fear.

She had perfectly transformed into a tall woman with snow-white skin, showing no trace of crocodiles, unlike their elders who were all boar-headed humans.

Having figured this out, the red-haired boar demon immediately realized that it had gotten itself into trouble, but it wasn't too afraid.

There's just one more female crocodile in the Foundation Establishment stage here. As long as it's not in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, it's fine.

If she were in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, we would probably have become her snacks long ago.

So, these wild boar demons, led by the red-haired wild boar demon, kept nodding their big heads, as if they were apologizing.

They comically shoveled mud at each other, then abandoned two skinned crocodiles and fled toward their own territory.

But Shi Yan was furious and had no intention of letting them go.

A venomous cloud rose from the ground, gathered around them, and burrowed into their mouths and noses, suppressing their screams.

Before long, all the wild boar demons collapsed to the ground, their limbs twitching occasionally, but they were not yet dead.

"Godmother, this is...?"

Li Da asked tentatively.

"Gather all the cultivators in the tribe! Today, we'll divide and devour these wild boar demons, and together we'll boost our morale!"

Shi Yan said coldly.

Before long, the wild boar demons regained their senses. Seeing that it was already dusk and they were still lying on the swamp, they panicked.

"Aww!!"

The red-haired boar demon let out a pig-like howl and immediately tried to get up and run away, but sadly discovered that apart from its eyes and mouth, it could not move any other part of its body.

A thick poisonous aura coursed through his body, suppressing everything.

Immediately afterwards, countless gazes shot in from all directions, landing on them.

The hair on the backs of several wild boar demons bristled, revealing crocodiles all around them, each possessing cultivation and coldly staring at them.

They approached all at once, bringing with them an increasingly intense sense of fear.

At this moment, Li Da and Shi Yan had both disappeared without a trace.

The shadow of death loomed over them, and they could only watch helplessly as the torment drove them mad.

The red-haired wild boar demon was now incredibly envious of its fathers' power of words. It wished it could repeat its Foundation Establishment stage father's name several times to scare away the crocodiles.

But now, all that comes out of its mouth is an increasingly trembling wail.

Suddenly, a crocodile at the fifth level of Qi cultivation slowly moved over and bit one of its legs.

This became a signal, and moments later, the wild boar demons were dragged along and soon all of them were bitten by several crocodiles.

The next moment, the crocodiles rolled around in the swamp, twisting and tearing their flesh and bones apart, their bodies instantly shattered into pieces, blood splattering everywhere.

A grand feast began. These wild boar demons were all at the Qi Refining stage, making them excellent prey. They were divided and eaten by more than a dozen crocodiles present.

Before long, only a few heads of wild boar demons remained on the scene. They were swept up by a cloud of yellow mist and floated up, hanging on a few low trees nearby.

"Godmother, what if they come seeking revenge..."

Li Da asked cautiously from the side.

"Then what do you intend to do?" Shi Yan asked, stepping on its head.

"I...I'll fight them to the death!"

Li Da rarely understood the cause and effect. His little eyes rolled, and he thought of his two godmothers, each of whom was better than him, plus a mysterious godfather.

They would never sit idly by and watch themselves be killed by those wild boar demons. At that time, it would be impossible to know who would win or lose!

"Yes, that's right."

Shi Yan nodded in satisfaction and turned to walk into the White Jade Palace.

The bloody feast still retained its delicious, pungent smell, attracting many crocodiles without any cultivation.

They all came to this blood-stained land, devouring the highly nutritious blood here, and embarking on the path of cultivation in this primitive way.

Inside the Jade Palace, Li Yi played with the small black cube in his hand, pondering how to find more Demon Ancient Trees.

Although he has dealt with them for a long time, Li Yi still has not discovered where they came from.

Of course, they must have come from beneath this swamp, the work of that ancient human race.

But how can I find them myself?

Just as Li Yi was pondering, Li Yueyou appeared to his side. She had changed her appearance and was no longer dressed in the city. She stared at him intently.

Li Yi met her gaze and clearly sensed that the ancient, strange insect was getting stronger and stronger, but there was nothing he could do about it.
