From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

At this moment, the green crocodile suppressed the rage in his heart, focused intently on his surroundings, and wisps of turbid air rose from his body.

These air currents are a mixture of colors, including dark green, yellow, brown, and black, which together give rise to the color of the swamp.

The turbid airflow circulated continuously on the body surface, carrying away some of the troublesome toxins, and also allowing the green crocodile to sense the pulse of its surroundings by touching the swamp mud.

This is an ability that the Crocodile Clan can only acquire after reaching the seventh level of the Qi Refining stage through instinct, allowing them to unleash the turbid spiritual energy of the swamp through their physical bodies.

Unfortunately, none of its companions reached this level.

To sharpen its senses, the green crocodile even closed its eyes.

boom!

That was the sound of his companion's limbs pounding heavily in the mud.

What did it encounter?

Within the thick yellow fog, intermittent sounds came from several directions.

It scurried about furiously through the mud, swishing its long tail, and suddenly lunged forward, its mouth snapping shut...

The green crocodile could clearly detect even the slightest sound.

Whoosh!

The green crocodile sensed the sound of something cutting through the air again; it was the sound of the black poison bullet spinning and rubbing against the thick, heavy yellow mist around it.

Then came a series of explosions in that direction!

The green crocodile suddenly swung its body, pointing its head in that direction, pondering whether to risk a surprise attack.

Li Yi is currently in the shadows, while the enemy is in the open. Any ill-advised attack could put them at a huge disadvantage.

Bang bang bang!

Then came the sound of poison grenades exploding repeatedly.

The two weakest green-scaled crocodiles became Li Yi's targets, and were hit first by the poison bullets that came from all directions.

At this moment, their entire bodies had been corroded, their scales softened like broken skin, revealing large areas of flesh covered with black threads.

One of them had already begun to roll unconsciously in the swamp, its mind clouded, its whole body feeling as if it were being scorched by fire, and it had gone mad.

The other one lay motionless, barely breathing.

However, Li Yi still did not reveal himself, wandering around the surrounding yellow mist like a ghost.

A feeling called fear is spreading in the hearts of the remaining green-scaled crocodiles.

boom!

Another poison bomb exploded, striking the massive body of a green-scaled crocodile, causing it to turn its head sharply, open its mouth wide, and struggle.

Then, it rushed in that direction almost frantically, its spirit nearly broken.

A dark shadow appeared out of nowhere, precisely cutting in from the side and biting its neck.

The next moment, the fine green scales on the green crocodile's neck were bitten through and burst open. At the same time, an incredible force lifted it up, causing it to struggle and sway in mid-air.

coming!

The green crocodile sensed Li Yi's attack and vaguely detected a cold aura. It immediately erupted and rushed out.

The turbid airflow around it made it incredibly fast in an instant, and a majestic phantom surrounded it. All the yellow mist in front of it was cleaved through with unstoppable force!

Midway through, the green crocodile opened its mouth wide, and finer, turbid air currents swirled around its four rows of teeth, amplifying the power of the attack.

However, in just a moment, its attack missed.

Standing there, it only saw its companion with its neck bitten off, its tail still wagging occasionally.

The dark figure vanished without a trace, disappearing into the yellow mist.

The green crocodile felt a chill slowly creeping up its spine...

Bang bang bang!

Then came the sound of poison grenades exploding; his remaining three companions were attacked from two different directions.

But the green crocodile was powerless; what it needed to guard against was Li Yi attacking it.

Not far away, Li Yi watched as a green-scaled crocodile, its entire body covered in black venom, struggled in its final moments. His gaze shifted slightly, piercing through the yellow mist and landing on the green crocodile.

As expected of someone who has cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Refining, the opponent's intelligence has undergone a crucial transformation. No longer dominated by violence and bloodlust, the opponent actually made a defensive move.

That being the case...

A dark shadow suddenly tore through the yellow mist, revealing a hideous and blurry corner, before vanishing abruptly.

A brief sound of bones breaking rang out.

The green crocodile remained motionless. Now, it was time for a desperate struggle. Its six companions had been slaughtered by Li Yi, leaving only itself.

But it hasn't even seen the full picture of its adversary yet.

After a moment of silence, the surrounding yellow mist suddenly dissipated, and the green crocodile trembled as it discovered that right in front of it, the huge black shadow was staring at it with a pair of indifferent eyes.

It's one-on-one now.

An anger erupted in the green crocodile's heart. Li Yi could have simply worn it down and killed it bit by bit in the yellow mist, but he still gave it this opportunity.

It opened its mouth wide, having already gathered its strength. The murky air belonging to the swamp flowed through its body once more, the silt beneath it exploded, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.

charge!

Facing the green crocodile's charge and its gaping maw, Li Yi did not retreat. After spitting out a series of poison bullets, he charged forward.

The sharp teeth tore through the scales, flesh was ripped apart, black and green scales exploded and flew everywhere, and broken teeth flew out.

Two figures, one in black and one in green, tore and rolled against each other, fighting in the swamp in the most primitive way.

But their power was so great that it caused ripples to emanate from the surrounding silt, which then bulged and spread outwards.

At one moment, Li Yi bit down hard on the green crocodile's right forelimb, rolled over suddenly, and tore it off alive, causing blood to splatter everywhere!

At the same time, the green crocodile bit into Li Yi's back, its sharp teeth, swirling with turbid air currents, piercing through Li Yi's abdominal scales, but it broke free as Li Yi rolled over.

The smell of blood rose up, and Li Yi seized the opportunity again to bite the green crocodile's neck, clamping it tightly. He unleashed tremendous strength, lifting the crocodile's massive body, tearing and shaking it.

Now the situation is reversed. Without the sap of the Great Willow Tree, the Green Crocodile's physical strength and vitality are actually inferior to Li Yi's current state, and it is being severely suppressed by him.

Just as Li Yi was about to finish off his opponent at the last moment, a golden water arrow suddenly shot out with a whoosh.

In that instant, Li Yi decisively abandoned the green crocodile, released his grip, and plunged into the mud.

boom!

The water arrow exploded on the spot, and the dazzling golden water carried a unique and potent toxicity, making Li Yi instinctively sense a deadly danger.

"Croak!"

A golden toad emerged from the darkness, its large, pale blue eyes rolling around before staring intently at the spot where Li Yi had disappeared, and then spoke in human language.

"What a ferocious black-scaled crocodile! It can manipulate poison barriers and poison bullets; it's a rare anomaly."

As it spoke, it revealed its aura as a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

"How about we meet outside to talk?"
