From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

The alluring yet wild words abruptly ceased, and in an instant, all six tall snake women trembled, their snake ropes beginning to change.

The swampy energy infused into it made the dense patterns on the six snake ropes seem to come alive, constantly flowing.

The next moment, a lifelike snake head appeared at the end of each of the six snake ropes, with a pair of red pupils staring at Li Yi, and biting into various parts of his body.

But Li Yi's body was covered in black scales, causing the snake's head to bite empty air.

"break!"

Li Yi's not-so-tall body trembled and twisted, and a tremendous force came, instantly twisting the six snake ropes.

He then gave a heavy tug, sending the six snake women flying through the air at high speed.

"Giggle giggle..."

The snake women's slightly distorted laughter came from all directions, and the six snake ropes suddenly retracted, leaving Li Yi's body.

The next moment, they nimbly entangled each other again, but this time it was completely different.

The six snake women, all at the early Foundation Establishment stage, channeled their magical power along their snake cords and converged around Li Yi, transforming directly into a mottled and murky circular furnace.

Inside the furnace, the heavy swampy air churned and crushed everything inside, causing the furnace itself to rumble and shake.

"What a pity, this young man is going to die a terrible death this time, alas~"

"Yes, we sisters finally found a Foundation Establishment cultivator we liked, but now... hehehe!"

"Fine, we'll just have to eat their flesh and blood when the time comes; that'll be a kind of compensation."

The snake women sensed that the furnace was not moving, and they were immediately relieved. They chatted and laughed around the furnace, waiting for everything to end.

But the next moment, the furnace suddenly started to rumble and vibrate, and countless black liquids and yellow mists seeped out from its surface, as if it were boiling.

"This is……"

A snake woman, puzzled, listened intently and discovered that what was coming from the furnace was a mournful, shrill sound of wind.

boom!

The furnace suddenly exploded, and a green wind howled all around, blowing a large patch of silt away and causing all six snake women to float lightly into the air.

A thick cloud of poison gathered around him, and Li Yi appeared there unharmed, holding the ends of all six snake ropes in his hands.

The three phases of the swamp converged and suddenly contracted, engulfing all six snake women and bringing them to Li Yi's vicinity.

They were shocked and angry, and tried to struggle, but Li Yi's pure Swamp Triad was their nemesis, completely suppressing them.

Bang bang bang!

After a loud bang, all six snake women were forced back to their original forms, six long pythons reappearing on the spot, their heads held in Li Yi's hands.

"My lord, spare my life!"

"Sister was wrong~"

They immediately began to beg for mercy, but there was a hint of amusement in their pleas.

One of the snake women said viciously, "Little crocodile, you should know that the ruler of this land is our mother, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. If you dare kill us, she will take your life!"

Li Yisen's white eyes gazed at them, and after a long while, he slowly spoke:

"Since that's the case, I'll spare your lives, but... this is something you owe me, and there won't be a next time."

After saying that, Li Yi tossed the six snake women aside, took the lotus flower and soared into the air, disappearing from the spot.

He didn't push things to the extreme, not because he was afraid of the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, but because he also had his own forces under his command, leaving some room for maneuver.

After all, they were robbing treasure from the other side's territory.

Moreover, Li Yi's most important technique, the white phosphorescent fire, could not be used in the swampy area where poisonous obstacles were everywhere.

Otherwise, he will become the source of the next phosphorescent disaster, bringing calamity to this land and turning it into scorched earth.

"What a powerful black-scaled crocodile! Its eyes are so strange; just one look at them makes me tremble with fear."

A snake woman looked at the yellow sky and said with lingering fear.

"A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, and he's this strong..."

"Judging from the direction he's heading, he's probably heading towards that dim-witted crocodile demon's territory. I wonder where he came from."

"If even bringing up Mom doesn't scare him, then my sister and I are in big trouble."

"What's there to be afraid of? At worst, we'll both go down together!"

……

The poisonous barrier above the plum tree suddenly began to swirl, converging into a dense channel.

The next moment, Li Yi descended from the sky and landed under the plum tree. The white python immediately sensed something and climbed down from the treetop.

Its gaze was fixed on the red lotus in Li Yi's hand and it couldn't look away.

Unbeknownst to him, it slithered up to Li Yi and coiled around him, its snake head flicking its tongue, its heterochromatic pupils illuminated by the red light emanating from the lotus.

"How is it? Is this useful to you?"

Li Yi stroked its head and asked.

After a long while, the white python nodded and hid the red lotus in a certain place in the white jade palace.

Inside the bright white jade palace, Li Yi recounted his experiences on the trip to the white python.

"In that region, there are six python demons who call each other sisters. They also have a mother who is in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

"Once you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, you might be able to meet them, but they are indeed quite wild and untamed, and not easy to get along with."

The white python looked at the red lotus flower, its tail sweeping over Li Yi, then suddenly turned and asked:

"Did they attack you? If so, I'll kill them once I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"There's no need for that," Li Yi chuckled.

If he wanted to kill them, most of them wouldn't be able to escape, but this was still unfamiliar territory, so it was best to keep a low profile.

The white python nodded and told Li Yi that it needed more rare and precious materials containing water elements, and that this one was far from enough.

The way of water and fire is extremely violent. Although it is far less profound than the way of purity and turbidity, it leaves no room for error. Once it fails, it will immediately be shattered to pieces.

Seeing that the white python had coiled up and fallen asleep in one place, Li Yi sat cross-legged under the plum tree, waiting for the sunset glow of the day.

The white crocodile, unusually, left the Jade Palace and followed Li Yi. Its snow-white scales reflected a golden light, making it look radiant.

Li Da, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, never expecting to see a female crocodile like this. He then approached in a daze and asked:

"Who are you……"

"I will be your godmother in the future."

The white crocodile said earnestly, "I'll wait until I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. It's not too early for you to call me godmother now."

"Godmother... Godmother."

Li Da glanced at Li Yi, who was cultivating the twilight glow, and only called out after seeing that he had tacitly agreed.

"Um."

The white crocodile nodded and continued to stay by Li Yi's side.

The golden rays of the sunset shone on the plum tree, and a black scale grew from between Li Yi's eyebrows, its interior filled with golden light, absorbing and exhaling the sunset glow.

This scene was silently etched into the white crocodile's memory.
