From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

Inside the nest, Li Yi was still preparing to swallow the bright red poisonous flower inside the small ball of black silt, but the white python had not returned, so it could only leave the poisonous flower there and leave the nest.

It was a night with a waning moon, and dark clouds drifted across the sky, tearing the already meager moonlight into strips like a piece of cloth.

Today is not a good time to absorb the moonlight; it will be counterproductive.

Li Yi quickly arrived at the location of the spiritual water and looked at the changes here with surprise.

The small bump that I had created has disappeared, replaced by a raised hill.

Countless streams converge here, and the enormous figure of the white python appears and disappears within them, moving, manipulating, and changing the landscape.

One by one, stones were inserted diagonally into the silt. Upon seeing this, Li Yi began to guard the perimeter.

It has no intention of interfering.

Because it doesn't know the specifics of this spiritual water, it only makes a rough guess that if this little bit of spiritual water is protected, it might actually develop into a clear spring.

Clearly, the white python, with its extraordinary bloodline, understood better how to handle the spiritual water.

Li Yi waited here for three days.

The white python displayed a completely different power, creating a large slope that, from the outside, looked no different from its surroundings.

After all, swamps aren't completely flat.

However, if you crawl into a hidden opening, you'll see a completely different situation.

The interior had become a hollow cavity, where the white python was now coiled, using its body to support the entire unstable mud structure and manipulating the water flow to solidify it.

call!

At the same time, the white python opened its mouth and spat out bursts of flame, which quickly dried out the inner walls of the cavity and made them hard.

Li Yi watched this scene with clear eyes.

This series of complex actions was indeed incomprehensible to such a simple-minded beast.

After a long time, another night fell.

The white python seemed to have finally finished everything. Looking at the spiritual water that had expanded slightly, it lowered its head and took a small sip.

In an instant, a look of exhaustion and satisfaction appeared in its pupils, and it turned and left.

At this moment, Li Yi was dozing off with his eyes closed when he suddenly felt a delicate and slender body wrap around him, rubbing against his scales.

The white python was clearly exhausted. It lay on Li Yi's body, unwilling to move, with half of its body dragging in the swamp, covered in mud.

So Li Yi had no choice but to take it back to its nest.

This time, Li Yi lay on the yellow wax stone bed, slowly closed his eyes, and swallowed the small black ball in one gulp.

Almost instantly, Li Yi felt that his body could not move. Strange buzzing came to his ears. He closed his eyes, and the dark scene before him began to flash with chaotic and changing colors.

They're getting into it.

Having been through this before, Li Yi remained motionless, and his heartbeat quickly dropped to a very low level, resembling that of a crocodile hibernating.

This time, there were no strange dreams. The chaotic colors and strange sounds didn't last long before Li Yi fell into a deep sleep.

A strange sense of comfort spread throughout my body.

When Li Yi opened his eyes again, he was still in the familiar nest, with cave walls inlaid with various stones and a bed of fine-textured yellow wax stone.

Upon waking this time, Li Yi did not feel any hunger. Instead, he felt a restless heat surging within his body.

It's such a small poisonous flower, yet it possesses such immense power.

Li Yi could almost feel that his sixth ink scale was beginning to grow.

After his breathing stabilized, Li Yi noticed something was different.

The white python is not here.

He must have gone to check on that spring.

With this thought in mind, Li Yi, brimming with power, emerged from the nest and strode confidently into the mud.

Not far from the spring, a fierce battle was unfolding.

Anger flashed in the white python's vertical pupils. It swept its long tail, leaving a trail of afterimages in mid-air, accompanied by a whooshing sound of wind breaking through the air.

boom!

With a loud bang, a massive green-scaled crocodile was sent flying, tumbling through the air before crashing into the swamp with a thud, sending up a huge wave of mud.

At the same time, four green-scaled crocodiles of similar size rushed forward, opening their mouths to try and bite the white python's slender body.

The yellow fangs rubbed against the fine white scales, producing a series of sounds.

The white python shuddered, coiled up, and a stream of transparent water flowed across its body, instantly transforming it into a mudfish-like creature and breaking free from the attack.

It opened its mouth and suddenly spat out a fireball, blasting a gash in the head of a green-scaled crocodile whose aura was at the second level of the Qi Refining stage.

Instantly, red and white splattered everywhere, and the stench of blood filled the air.

The other green-scaled crocodiles shuddered, their brutal and ruthless pupils flashing with an instinctive fear of fire. This fear, ingrained in their very being, momentarily stunned them into stillness.

Bang bang bang!

Only one even larger figure, who had been watching the hunt, charged forward in fury.

This green-scaled crocodile was 50% larger than its companions, extremely strong, with fine scales and eyes full of primal ferocity.

Its aura was powerful, reaching the fifth level of the Qi Refining stage, yet it remained dazed and confused; its cultivation only fueled its ferocious arrogance.

It was no longer afraid of even flames.

If Li Yi were here, it would immediately recognize that this green-scaled crocodile, which looked like a saltwater crocodile from its previous life, was its neighbor and the ruler of another territory.

It lives under a large, spiritual willow tree.

This charge was skillfully dodged by the white python. Despite its enormous size, the white python was surprisingly agile.

At the same time, a fireball, three times larger than before, was spat out of its mouth and exploded on the green crocodile's back with a loud bang.

boom!

The huge flames and explosions caused the surrounding green-scaled crocodiles to retreat in horror, with one even attempting to turn and run away.

The massive green crocodile turned around, and a large gash burst open in the fine green scales on its back, revealing charred flesh and blood inside.

This blow brought it pain, but it did not render it incapable of fighting; instead, it intensified its instinctive ferocity.

Just as it was preparing to continue its attack, the situation suddenly changed.

Whoosh!

Just then, a spinning black water bullet silently pierced the night and exploded on the wound on the green crocodile's back.

This attack was vicious and cruel; the intense venom corroded the green crocodile's back, causing it to writhe in pain on the spot.

Meanwhile, a green crocodile standing nearby was attacked.

Li Yi burst fiercely out of the black mud, one moment silent, the next extremely brutal and violent.

The sharp, gleaming teeth sank deep into the green crocodile's neck, instantly biting through its scales.

The intense shearing force descended in the next moment. The green-scaled crocodile only felt a blur before its eyes and was pulled and rolled by a tremendous force, with cracking sounds coming from its spine as it twisted and broke.
