From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

Chapter 152 Regular Offerings

This power was incredibly immense, like the entire swamp breathing, instantly filling the five chick-like wild boar demons with extreme terror.

There really is a crocodile king in this area. He almost crushed them to death without even showing his face!

Amidst a cacophony of pleas for mercy, the giant hand vanished, and the five wild boar demons slammed heavily onto the swampy ground, grunting and groaning before slowly getting to their feet.

They became much more obedient, looking around nervously. After making their promise, they turned and ran away with a submissive expression.

Compared to their precious lives, what does offering a few wild boars matter?

They can give birth to dozens of offspring at a time, and they don't even bother to stop the pythons in the opposite territory from poaching them from time to time.

This time, however, they truly witnessed just how powerful the crocodile king of this territory was, and they slunk away.

"Your Majesty~ Look, I'm injured~"

Back inside the White Jade Palace, Mu'e, who had been all smiles, immediately put on a pitiful expression and showed Li Yi a small cut on his fist.

It was cut by a wild boar's tusk, and it hadn't healed yet under her control.

Li Yi glanced at her speechlessly and said, "Mu'e, you still lack cultivation, both in your physical body and your foundation for immortality."

"And you, Shi Yan, among those of the same level, you should have easily defeated those two wild boar demons who had forged the lowest-level swamp immortal foundation, instead of this."

"Your Majesty is right, let's cultivate for a while now~".

After exchanging a glance, the two women immediately moved closer to Li Yi from either side. Their bodies were strong, slender, and very elastic, and they squeezed around him.

After strictly instructing them to cultivate the swamp energy with him, Li Yi finally closed his eyes in peace.

The battle left the surrounding swampy land riddled with potholes, which will take a long time to heal. Fortunately, the garden where bloodworms were planted was not destroyed.

Soon after, a circular area was demarcated between Li Yi's territory and the wild boar demons' territory. This area was teeming with crocodiles, and from time to time, groups of wild boars would be driven into it.

What followed was a grand feast.

"Big brother, are we just going to back down like this?"

A boar demon in the Foundation Establishment stage looked at the crocodiles in front of it, which were rolling and tearing at their own kind, and asked a question.

"What could we do? You saw it yourself, that crocodile king didn't even show his face, but he almost crushed all five of us brothers to death with just one move!"

At this point, both wild boar demons displayed human-like fear on their faces.

That scene is still vivid in my mind.

The Crocodile King is terrifying.

Amidst the wild boars' mournful cries, the two boar demons remained silent for a while before resuming their communication.

"Brother, how strong do you think the Crocodile King is? Early Foundation Establishment or Mid Foundation Establishment?"

"Early Foundation Establishment stage? You must be joking. An early Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could almost crush the five of us in one go? He must be in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!" another boar demon said decisively.

"It might even be the late stage of Foundation Establishment—"

Upon further speculation, the two wild boar demons fell silent once more.

Indeed, the methods Li Yi displayed made it impossible for them to accurately judge his specific cultivation level; they only knew that he was definitely above the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

"Brother, where did that crocodile king come from? I've never heard of such a creature around here."

"I guess it's over there." The boar demon raised its head, its gaze passing over the crocodile territory ahead and looking towards the scorched earth in the distance.

"Big brother is saying—the Crocodile King came from the area where the will-o'-the-wisps erupted? That can't be right!?"

At the mention of the phosphorescent calamity, the two boar demons' eyes revealed a fear a hundred times greater than before.

They witnessed firsthand how the pale white phosphorescent flames almost reached this place, but miraculously, they didn't burn over.

That scene nearly scared the five of them to death, and they still feel it when they recall it now.

"Otherwise what? Where do you think the Crocodile King came from?"

"Hmph—" The wild boar demon let out a grunt that was not meaningful, but did not answer.

"It's a pity Mother doesn't have many years left to live; she doesn't even dare to lay a hand on anyone—"

"What will happen if she passes away? —" The boar demon brother sighed, displaying a profound wisdom at this moment.

"Don't worry, brother. Even the Crocodile King doesn't know the full extent of this matter. Besides, isn't the mother of those python demons only a few years left to live?"

"When the time comes, our two families will join forces to suppress the Crocodile King's family. What will we be afraid of?" the third brother of the wild boar demon analyzed logically.

"Hmm? You've got some brains, kid. I didn't realize that before."

The elder wild boar demon looked at his younger brother in surprise, and began to consider the possibility of cooperating with the group of python demons.

Crocodiles and pythons all love to eat wild boars, but once they embark on the path of cultivation, the previous food chain no longer exists.

Those are all things that restrict the existence of the underlying systems.

If everyone has cultivated their skills, the competition will be about who has the strongest cultivation, not anything else.

"Hmph—" Seeing that the group of wild boars was about to be eaten, the third brother of the wild boar demons snorted, created a gust of demonic wind, and ran away, leaving only the eldest brother of the wild boar demons standing there thinking about something.

Although the bloody feast had ended, the stench of blood lingered. A large group of crocodiles, bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun, savored the delicious meal in their bellies and slowly left the area.

As the sun set, Mu'e emerged from the White Jade Palace to tend to the bloodworm grass growing inside the fence.

Triangle Head was fed a large piece of wild boar heart, and it was tearing it into several pieces and swallowing it bit by bit.

Even during this process, it remains invisible.

Seeing the Bloodworm Grass growing well, Mu'e turned to look at the large group of crocodiles with varying cultivation levels in his territory, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

Although their territory is not yet powerful, at least they have a safe home now.

Not long after, Shi Yan also emerged from the Jade Palace. The two women reverted to their original forms and remained in their previous positions, beginning to inhale and exhale the swampy energy.

Thick yellow fog and green winds surrounded the area, attracting a large group of crocodiles.

Whether they can use this to embark on the path of cultivation, or to take their cultivation a step further and transcend the limitations of instinct, depends on their comprehension and destiny.

Inside the Jade Palace, Li Yi, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, had his entire body covered in mirror-like black scales that reflected brilliant golden light, illuminating the entire palace in splendor.

After a while, Li Yi opened his eyes, feeling the stable golden sun shadow within the clear and turbid world of his body, and said to the white crocodile, "It's almost time. At the latest, in three months, I will have completed my cultivation and can guide you to establish your foundation."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
