From Swamp Dog to Crocodile Ancestor

The mother crocodile could tell at a glance that the white python was not old, probably not even ten years old. Its green, dragon-like eyes merely swept over the gloomy willow tree without any ripples.

Under the large willow tree, the white python remained vigilant, its heterochromatic vertical pupils fixed on the mother crocodile's eerie green eyes, seemingly waiting for them to leave.

Most predatory animals have their own territories, and if you rashly enter another's territory, you will likely encounter hostility.

In addition, the green crocodile that had returned for revenge was also a member of the green-scaled crocodile clan, so the white python naturally had a bad impression of the green-scaled crocodile.

Just as the mother crocodile turned to leave, its massive head suddenly stopped in place, its eyes flashing, and then it stopped moving.

"I think I smell a familiar scent."

Before the words were finished, the white python began to speak in human language. However, compared to the mother crocodile, its voice was melodious but noticeably more immature and hurried.

"I don't recognize this familiar scent! Let's leave!"

The mother crocodile, however, had completely taken the initiative. The white python's actions and words seemed to have confirmed something for her, so she calmly said:

"A mischievous green crocodile once took away several of my people, and they haven't returned yet. I think they're probably dead."

At that moment, the atmosphere seemed to freeze briefly, and the tip of the white python's tail involuntarily twitched back and forth behind it, extremely tense.

At this moment, Li Yi had already lurked to the limit of the opponent's perception, right between the white python and the mother crocodile, ready to gather the yellow mist and launch a surprise attack at any time.

Since we've been discovered, it doesn't matter; it'll just be a fight.

Unexpectedly, the mother crocodile changed the subject, "But these few who escaped are no longer my kind. They were lured away by some treacherous fellow. A bunch of idiots, they deserve to die here, don't you think? Little snake?"

The white python seemed completely at a loss for words to say to the mother crocodile, and had seemingly accepted it.

Seeing that she had completely gained the upper hand, the mother crocodile's voice turned slightly cold. "However, my clan has still suffered some losses, and a battle is inevitable. Are you... ready?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a large group of green-scaled crocodiles went berserk, their brown-yellow eyes shooting out a cold, bloodthirsty light, all fixed on the white python.

"Get out of here! This is between me and it!"

The mother crocodile let out a cold shout, neither too loud nor too soft, and all the green-scaled crocodiles present retreated, surrounding the large willow tree and forming a circular space.

"In the swamp, strength is everything. Show me your strength, little snake."

As she spoke, the mother crocodile slowly moved her limbs and stepped into the circular space, a chilling killing intent almost freezing the surroundings.

The white python's eyes flashed with the light of water and fire, but it showed no intention of moving forward.

The next moment, Li Yi emerged from the mud and came to the opposite side of the mother crocodile, his body covered with jet-black scales, and his brown-yellow eyes turned cold.

"Oh? And there's a black-scaled crocodile too. A weak bloodline, yet you dare stand before me?"

The mother crocodile opened her mouth wide and exhaled a greenish-brown wind, which was not pure and contained wisps of dark brown, yet it caused Li Yi's pupils to dilate slightly.

It is not a pure swamp wood type, and this is my next goal after I finish training the swamp water type!

As the green wind approached, the surrounding silt was blown away, leaving a trail. Li Yi immediately opened his mouth and spat out a poison bullet.

The poison bomb was pitch black, emitting a terrifying aura. It exploded on the green wind, causing it to shrink by more than half. By the time it reached Li Yi, it was no longer able to move his body and simply swept across his black scales.

Feeling this power, Li Yi immediately became serious.

The mother crocodile's bloodline was indeed extraordinary, not only in its eyes but also in its not-so-pure swamp wood appearance.

It has already managed to separate a portion of the swamp's energy and focus on cultivating that portion to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. Few crocodiles can do that alone.

In the magical battle just now, although the mother crocodile's wood element was stronger, Li Yi's water element was relatively weak as he had only been cultivating it for a short time.

However, in the five elements, water generates wood, naturally gaining the upper hand and diminishing most of the power of the wood element in the swamp.

The mother crocodile looked at the hissing white smoke rising from the ground, her eyes finally turning serious, her whole body tense. "I didn't expect there to be such a being among the Black Scale Crocodiles? You've actually comprehended the Swamp Water Phase. It seems I underestimated you."

Clearly, the mother crocodile was wary of the black venom.

The swamp water, which is a combination of water and poison, is the most troublesome. If you are not careful, you will get wounds that are difficult to heal, and it may even affect your foundation building period.

However, the mother crocodile showed no intention of retreating.

In fact, Li Yi was also extremely wary of the green wind that the mother crocodile spat out. If it landed on him, it could probably scrape off some of his black scales and even cause him to lose his balance.

The consequences of this are extremely serious.

Two enormous creatures, one black and one green, stared at each other in the circular space, slowly circling and searching for each other's weaknesses.

Seeing this, the white python became very nervous and was ready to spit out the yellow crystal sword in its mouth at any moment to cover Li Yi.

Who knows if these green-scaled crocodiles will swarm in?

Li Yi did not intend to use the yellow mist. The crocodile species had their own set of rules for fighting, and if he used such a method, he would probably be attacked by the group.

The air around them suddenly became extremely heavy, and at any moment, it was about to explode.

boom!boom!

Two patches of silt exploded, and two strong, massive figures, one black and one green, were simultaneously launched from their original positions, transforming into two fierce afterimages that collided in an instant.

Biting, rolling, tail whipping—the entire soft, muddy ground trembled violently as the two engaged in the most primal physical combat.

In an instant, shattered scales, broken teeth, and blood splattered everywhere.

The white python watched this scene with trepidation, its vertical pupils occasionally parting to observe the other green-scaled crocodiles watching.

The two powerful bodies collided, producing a sound like thunder. This primitive and brutal battle was even more visually striking with the two giant crocodiles, who possessed cultivation and even stronger physical bodies.

boom!

With a flick of his tail, Li Yi charged forward with incredible agility, suddenly biting the mother crocodile's neck, and then using all his strength to lift her up!

Nourished by the sap of the great willow tree, Li Yi's physical body became unusually strong, and the pure and impure energy within his body allowed him to perfectly digest this spiritual creature with extremely powerful vitality.

Although it is smaller than the female crocodile, its strength and endurance are even greater than before!

Being tightly restrained, the mother crocodile was naturally unwilling to give in, twisting her body violently and slapping Li Yi's side hard with her thick tail.

Li Yi felt as if he had bitten a mudfish covered in scales. The mother crocodile struggled and Li Yi exerted force in return, until they were entangled in a ball.
