Chapter Twelve: Encounter with the Crocodile Group

  After chatting with the little loli for a while, Wu Yuer understood her intention from her nervous and somewhat embarrassed words. It turned out that she had really figured out the truth of the matter and came to apologize to herself, and even wanted to return the mobile phone she gave to Wu Yuer. However, it was funny that the little girl herself was very fond of it and didn't want to part with it, so she thought of buying it from Wu Yuer, but was worried that Wu Yuer wouldn't sell it because it was a family heirloom. This made Wu Yuer feel embarrassed for her, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Such pure loli attributes are really rare indeed."

  "I never take back what I've given out, Wu Ye Yu. If you consider me a friend, then don't mention it again." Then she hung up the phone directly, without giving her a chance to retort.

  Although Wen Xueyue was hung up on the phone, she didn't get angry in her heart. Instead, she felt very moved and secretly regretted misunderstanding Wu Yeyu at first. When he comes back, she also wants to give him a gift...

  He continued to walk deeper into the forest, and Wu Yeran had become much more cautious this time, with a mix of tension, excitement, and anticipation for his prey to appear. It was a contradictory yet thrilling feeling, similar to when he first went hunting alone years ago. Moreover, Wu Yeran believed that he had already hunted down one Angle Crocodile Beast before, and the second, third, or even more prey were not far away either.

  Wu Yeru was wearing the Introspection Dan on his body at this time, and inside, he was constantly running the basic introspection technique. His footsteps were strange and twisted as he walked while paying attention to his surroundings. At this time, the trees in the forest had grown densely, blocking out the sky and sun, making it somewhat dim. On the ground grew some moss and a small amount of ferns, some of which were edible. Wu Yeru also collected quite a few, planning to find an opportunity to taste them.

  At this moment, Wu Ye Yu's sharp senses detected that under the floating water flow, a crocodile was lurking, but it didn't seem to have noticed Wu Ye Yu, who was not far away, and was stupidly looking around in confusion, wondering why there was no water around.

  Taking this opportunity, how could Wu Yeyu let it go? So he slowly poured the water in the air down and controlled the water to fill into the mouth of the horned crocodile. At first, the horned crocodile did not notice anything was wrong, what's the big deal about drinking a few mouthfuls of water? It's already used to staying in the water all day. However, as more and more water poured into its belly, the horned crocodile finally realized something was off, but it was too late.

  Almost instantly, the originally warm water flow suddenly turned into solid ice and continued to transform inside his belly, sharp and slender, piercing through the soft internal organs. Severe stinging pain came in waves, hurting so much that he wanted to scream to alleviate the suffering, but there was no sound coming out of his body, which was either frozen or filled with water. A large amount of blood and flesh gushed out from his throat, and he felt his body becoming heavier and heavier, his eyes growing blurrier and blurrier until he finally lost consciousness completely.

  Because all these things happened right under his nose, Wu Ye Yu naturally saw everything clearly. As for his own stealthy sneak attack, he felt quite satisfied and thought that before finding other ways to deal with the enemy, this move would do.

  Just as they were about to pull up the corpse of the crocodile beast to process it and earn some energy, a series of splashing sounds came from the nearby stream.

  "What's going on!?" Wu Yeyu thought immediately, and then saw a group of crocodile-like beasts swimming quickly from the distant stream, with quite a few in number. It seemed that they were attracted by the bloody smell emitted by the corpses here. After discovering the anomaly, Wu Yeyu stopped moving and started to fully activate his Introspection Technique, and at an extremely fast speed, he hid behind a giant tree that two people could encircle with their arms. During this process, he didn't even make much of a sound.

  "Damn it! These beasts' noses are really keen, they can smell the aroma from so far away, how annoying!" Wu Yeyu cursed in his heart, "Can a freshly cooked duck still fly? Damn it! Young master's things aren't that easy to snatch!"

  It was just a blink of an eye, and the crocodile group had already arrived at the body, then began to rush forward in a frenzy, tearing at their companion's corpse. The body was devoured by the first crocodiles to arrive at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only bones behind. Those that arrived later could only watch from the side, and one larger individual even got into a fight with its companions over the spoils. Just then, one of the crocodiles participating in the scramble suddenly let out a pained cry, followed by constant vomiting of blood foam and flesh, rolling about in agony in the water. The other crocodiles that had not gotten any food didn't think twice, thinking that since their brother was vomiting blood, they wouldn't be polite either. Many hungry crocodiles began to attack it.

  But this was only the beginning, with the first one came the second, and soon more and more crocodile beasts began to let out mournful cries, constantly rolling in the water, large amounts of blood gushing out, staining the surface a deep red, a blurry mess. The remaining intact crocodile beasts also sensed that something was off, although they didn't have much intelligence, their animal instincts still detected the danger here. As a result, the surviving crocodile beasts gathered together to defend each other. But what was meant to come would eventually arrive, and no matter how hard they tried to hide, they couldn't escape. As Wu Ye's pace quickened, the remaining crocodile beasts began to die off one by one. Except for the few that managed to escape from this area, most of them didn't survive, turning into corpses floating on the water surface.

  At this time, after discovering that there were no more horned crocodiles nearby, Wu Yeru quickly rushed out and started a large-scale cleaning activity on the river surface where the corpses were. This was a real big cleanup. A horned crocodile over two meters long would disappear in just a few seconds, leaving behind almost no residue, incredibly energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and could even be converted into energy to benefit all humanity. It's truly a wonderful way to die! Hurray! Hurray!

  Wu Ye Yu's mind was a jumble of thoughts, but his hands moved swiftly and surely. In less than two minutes, the twenty or so corpses had vanished without a trace. Wu Ye Yu didn't dare linger any longer, as the stench of blood continued to spread, attracting not just a few crocodiles, but also other ferocious beasts. If the prey was in the water, it would be relatively easy to eliminate them using his control over water. But if a few swift wild wolves were to appear, he would be in danger. Although he could still emerge victorious, it would likely require a bloody battle, and he might have to leave something behind. As a 10-year-old chubby boy, he knew that these experiences were inevitable, but he wasn't eager to rush into them just yet.

  With a swift movement, Wu Ye Yu's figure twisted and turned on the ground several times before arriving behind the large tree. Just as he was about to absorb energy from the water, Wu Ye Yu didn't forget to control the flow of water to separate his body and blood from it, so there wasn't much bloody smell left on him.

  Found a more secluded spot, and began to use the system to create a hiding place. Wu Ye Yu stretched out her hand and pressed it against the ground, and in an instant, the mud on the ground began to disappear continuously. A few seconds later, Wu Ye Yu didn't care about the mess, and with a twist of her body, she jumped in, turned around, found some fallen branches and rotten leaves to cover the entrance above her head, checked to make sure no light was coming through, and then continued digging downwards at an angle. After a while, she changed direction again and continued digging, repeating this process several times until Wu Ye Yu felt satisfied before stopping her actions.

  He took out a few candles that had been prepared in advance from the space, lit them with a lighter, and placed them on the specially reserved earth platform next to him. The dim candlelight instantly illuminated this simple cave. What he needed to do next was to wait. Wu Ye Yu muttered to himself that he seemed to have made a mistake, wouldn't waiting like this delay things even more? Alas, it's all because his strength is too low and he's courting disaster.

  After a moment, Wu Ye Yu, who had originally wanted to take advantage of this idle time to cultivate, had just settled into position when a sharp and angry roar suddenly came from above his head. Even though he was already tens of meters underground, Wu Ye Yu instinctively covered his ears, finding the stimulation unbearable and his brain throbbing in pain. Immediately after, there was a loud "boom" as the earth began to shake violently, as if something weighing tens of tons had smashed into the ground. Dust started falling from above, making the air in the cave extremely murky. Wu Ye Yu's first reaction was that a demonic beast had arrived, and it wasn't even a low-ranking one.

  He hastily took out a towel, dipped it in the water bucket, and tied it around his mouth and nose. Only then did he feel a little better. However, Wu Yeru became somewhat at a loss, thinking to himself: "What's going on? I only killed more than 20 horned crocodile beasts, and that bit of blood would attract some fierce beasts at most. Even if my luck was bad and I attracted a demon beast, it wouldn't be this exaggerated, right?" As he thought about it, Wu Yeru couldn't help but scratch his head in confusion.

  At this moment, another loud roar came from the top of their heads, different from the sharpness in front, this time the roar was very rough and rude, with a hint of overbearing aura, making people feel a sense of submission.

  "This one is definitely not a simple goods, even more fierce than the previous one." Thinking of this, Wu Ye Yu felt a thrill, feeling that even staying in the tens of meters deep underground was not safe, so he immediately decided to continue digging.

  After determining the direction, Wu Yeru held a candle in one hand and pressed the mud with the other, moving forward slowly. His face was still covered with a wet rag, and his outfit was very strange. Fortunately, Wu Yeru was still young and not tall, so although he had to bend over while walking, his speed was actually quite fast.

  They just kept digging in one direction. After advancing for more than half a time, Wu Yeyu could no longer hold on, his spiritual power was exhausted, and the light and shadow in front of him overlapped, dizzy and confused, knowing that he had reached his limit, and at this time it was almost safe, so he didn't care about anything else and started practicing qigong on the spot.
