After a brutal battle, the situation in the Fungal Wetlands began to clear up. After 295 Cursed Men had died, only seven Giant Crocodiles remained.
These Giant Crocodiles were far too powerful. One bite would leave a Cursed Man dead or crippled, and injuries would also lead to fungal infection. That was even more lethal. Large patches of mushrooms were now floating across the water.
The current results had only been possible because Su Xiao had dealt with the Giant Crocodile leader. Otherwise, they would have had to pay an even greater price to clear the Fungal Wetlands.
Killing the Giant Crocodiles earned Su Xiao a total of 1,665 Soul Coins. Each one yielded 35 to 38 Soul Coins. The rewards were quite generous, but there was one issue: no Treasure Chests dropped. That was one of the major drawbacks of using overwhelming numbers.
If the overwhelming-numbers tactic had been achieved through Bug Girl—Jila, the situation would have been somewhat better. The Treasure Chest drop rate would not have been so appalling. Unfortunately, most worlds were unsuitable for Bug Girl—Jila. The Demonic Zerg were far too gluttonous. Without enough biological energy, they could not develop at all and would instead be dragged down by the consumption of the main Bug Nest.
The Cursed Men surrounded the seven Giant Crocodiles. A strange scene unfolded. The Giant Crocodiles had stopped attacking some time ago. Judging from their still-ferocious gazes, they had not surrendered.
Su Xiao stepped forward. The moment he approached within a few meters of one Giant Crocodile, it lowered its head. It was not fear or terror, but something more akin to awe.
Su Xiao moved a few steps to the side, and the Giant Crocodile before him turned as well before lowering its head toward him.
Bang.
