Amidst the excited cheers of the Little Golden Ball, the stone house sped away.
The speed wasn't fast, but it wasn't slow either.
Two hours later, we reached the airspace above the swamp.
Uh-huh... ✪
In the swamp, Swamp Crocodile lies on its back in the mud, leisurely enjoying the sunlight and mud bath.
It seems to have sensed something.
Its flat body floats upwards.
The water was completely still, and the surrounding bushes and aquatic plants remained motionless.
I saw the stone houses overhead.
The Swamp Crocodile's face immediately fell.
A good mood for the day vanished in an instant.
I felt a little uneasy.
Boss, are you here to confront us?
Without hesitation, its entire body surfaced, lying prone above the swamp.
"This crocodile is quite clever. When the Four Routes Army came looking for us, it wouldn't show up for half a day, making all sorts of excuses. But as soon as you arrived, it came out to greet us immediately."
Bai Ruoxin couldn't help but tease her.
Yi Chen smiled calmly.
He swept through all sorts of Ferocious Beast along the way, but spared the Swamp Crocodile's life because the Swamp Crocodile was clever enough.
His Divine Sense enveloped the Swamp Crocodile, transmitting his voice to it.
"I plan to go to the beach, climb onto the roof, and be the vanguard."
The Swamp Crocodile managed a forced, deeply honored smile.
In my heart, I wanted to cry but couldn't.
Sure enough, a lackey whose life and death are in the hands of others is also at high risk of dying.
Its crystal was controlled by Bai Ruoxin using the Beast Taming Art.
The reason they dared to outwardly comply with but inwardly defy the Four Routes Army, going through the motions but not putting in any real effort.
It understands perfectly well that as long as it occasionally helps the Four Routes Army kill a few Ferocious Beast, the Four Routes Army will tolerate it.
After all, Bai Ruoxin wasn't around, so there was no way to use the Beast Taming Art to punish it.
Even the Four Routes Army, controlling its crystal with the Beast Taming Art, dared not truly punish it.
Because it is too powerful, if you provoke it, it will lead to a lose-lose situation, and no one can bear the consequences.
However, it didn't go too far; it could have ambushed and killed the Ferocious Beast, but it wouldn't have deliberately spared it.
What the Swamp Crocodile fears most is Yi Chen coming to its door.
The fact that Yi Chen came knocking meant that the enemy it was about to face was undoubtedly incredibly powerful.
Moreover, it doesn't even have the right to refuse.
Because this leader is stronger and more cunning than it.
Without daring to hesitate, the Swamp Crocodile, as obedient as a well-behaved child, leaped up and jumped onto the roof of the stone house.
Lying on it.
Its senses subtly expanded, attempting to probe Yi Chen's aura.
It knew without a doubt that this operation would be extremely dangerous.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.
Knowing about the leader's situation is also very important.
If the boss had fought a powerful Ferocious Beast before and was injured before coming to find it, then it would have to consider and plan carefully.
How can I outwit the boss and kill him without getting killed by the Ferocious Beast and the person controlling my crystal?
The result was somewhat disappointing.
Its perception was blocked by the Energy Shield of the Defense Array, making it impossible for it to penetrate and probe Yi Chen's aura.
"Life is but a thought away, death is but a thought away. With your current strength, you've long since exceeded the swamp's limits."
Yi Chen's Divine Sense detected the Swamp Crocodile's perceptive abilities, and he knew what this cunning crocodile was thinking. He couldn't help but speak.
"Hiding in the swamp, no matter how careful you are, no matter how hard you try to keep the swamp balanced, it's hard to hold on any longer. Jumping out of this swamp is your only way to survive."
The Swamp Crocodile was stunned.
These words were like a sudden awakening, a moment of clarity that made everything clear.
It also seemed to have grasped some profound truth that it had never been able to understand before.
Yi Chen didn't say anything more and continued cultivating.
He actually admired this Swamp Crocodile.
Insidious and cunning, extremely cunning, intelligent and decisive, with exceptional eyesight.
A small swamp of tens of thousands of square kilometers could not possibly contain such a powerful and Ferocious Beast, yet it has survived to this day, which is absolutely a remarkable miracle.
That's why he spared the Swamp Crocodile's life last time.
Today, since we need Swamp Crocodile to act as scouts and vanguards, I might as well give them a few pointers.
No matter how hard they tried to survive, they had ultimately exceeded the swamp's tolerance limit.
If the Swamp Crocodile wants to survive any longer, it must leave the swamp and integrate itself into the planet.
Find a powerful backer, take a gamble, and you have every chance to successfully integrate into the planet's ecosystem.
" Tribal Chief, shall we go and check on the West Route Army?"
Ten hours later, as the vast Great Sea appeared, Bai Ruoxin turned to ask Yi Chen.
"Go directly to the Sea Island where the Sea Breeze Tribe rose to power."
Yi Chen shook his head, and with his Divine Sense, he transmitted a message to the Swamp Crocodile: "Enter the Great Sea, and upon encountering a powerful Ocean Ferocious Beast, take immediate action."
Uh-huh... ✪
The Swamp Crocodile panicked; its fatal moment had finally arrived.
But it still leaped down and pounced towards the coastline.
Its long, flat tail swished continuously.
The airflow is drawn in, continuously slowing the descent.
Its massive, elongated body resembled a giant bat, constantly swooping down.
Squeak...
The Little Golden Ball ball looked at Yi Chen with anticipation.
Go!
Yi Chen waved his hand.
The Little Golden Ball suddenly leaped down from Bai Ruoxin's shoulder.
Its round body, like a small golden bomb, flew towards the Swamp Crocodile.
In the blink of an eye, it caught up with the Swamp Crocodile that was constantly diving down and landed on its head.
Squeak...
The Little Golden Ball, like a general issuing commands, directed the Swamp Crocodile to accelerate its attack.
The Swamp Crocodile, unaware that the Little Golden Ball possessed immortality, couldn't understand why the little guy was so excited.
But the arrival of the Little Golden Ball put its mind at ease considerably.
After all, this little thing is the boss's pet.
If they really encounter any danger, with this little guy taking the hit in front of them, the chances of the boss coming to their rescue are relatively high.
Thump!
He plunged headfirst into the Great Sea.
Mumble, mumble...
The Little Golden Ball, which still wanted to give orders, swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater and then closed its mouth and stopped breathing.
"Maintain an altitude of approximately 100 meters!"
Yi Chen notified Bai Ruoxin.
Having broken through to the first level of the Avatar Stage, the range of his Divine Sense has increased to a radius of one kilometer.
Further on, with each advancement to a minor realm, the range of Divine Sense coverage will increase by one kilometer.
This is also why he honed his skills at the last minute and practiced continuously throughout the process.
The wider the range of Divine Sense, the sooner one can detect the enemy's movements and take appropriate action.
Bai Ruoxin controlled the stone house, descending to a height of about a hundred meters above the sea, leading the way above the Swamp Crocodile.
Slow down and fly towards the Sea Island where the Sea Breeze Tribe has risen to prominence.
While cultivating, Yi Chen activated his Divine Sense to its maximum, monitoring every movement within a one-kilometer radius.
Below, the Swamp Crocodile resolutely refused to speed up, no matter how much the Little Golden Ball patted its head.
They simply maintained a similar pace to the stone house, continuing their journey.
Along the way, although the Great Sea is richer in resources, it also breeds more powerful and Ferocious Beast.
However, powerful Ferocious Beast are still in the minority. In coastal areas, their numbers are even fewer.
Most of them are still only low- to mid-level Ferocious Beast.
These low- to mid-level Ocean Ferocious Beast all retreated in fear upon sensing the presence of the Swamp Crocodile.
It wasn't until more than half an hour later.
Uh-huh...
The Swamp Crocodile sensed a dangerous aura and immediately roared, trying to scare away the source of the danger while also alerting Yi Chen.
