You Soul Beasts Really Are Useless

Faced with the gaping maw beneath her feet, snapping at her as though it could swallow heaven and earth.

Though she was only one step away from killing Ah Rou, an overwhelming sense of mortal danger made Bibi Dong grimly choose to give up.

After dismissing her second Soul Skill, Soul-Eating Spider Silk Entanglement, Bibi Dong immediately soared into the air, narrowly evading the savage gaping maw that had burst from the ground to bite her.

As Bibi Dong escaped into the sky.

The savage gaping maw of the terrifying beast that had emerged from underground, resembling a crocodile somewhat, instantly engulfed Ah Rou's body.

Once that savage maw bit down, the countless incomparably sharp fangs inside would undoubtedly tear Ah Rou's body to pieces in an instant!

But just as the beast's savage maw engulfed Ah Rou and was about to bite down.

A terrifyingly dark aura—or rather, Demon Qi—suddenly erupted from within the fearsome beast.

At the same time, a dazzling light burst forth.

Within the brilliant radiance, the enormous body of the beast rapidly shrank. In almost the blink of an eye, the terrifying beast with its massive body had vanished without a trace.

In its place stood a tall, burly young man in a half-demon form. He wore a suit of dark green, scale-like armor, had an eerie and cold face, crimson vertical pupils, a thick crocodile tail swinging behind him, and sharp, scaled claws for hands.

Beside him stood Ah Rou, still somewhat dazed and seemingly unable to believe it, as though she had never expected to survive.

Whoosh!

After driving Bibi Dong away, the transformed Crocodile Demon King avatar grabbed Ah Rou's hand and instantly appeared high in the air, putting a great distance between them and Bibi Dong, as well as Spirit Hall's Red-Clothed Archbishops and Black-Clothed Bishops.

This!!

When they saw that the terrifying beast that had suddenly emerged from underground had not bitten Ah Rou to death, but instead transformed into a human and rescued her, everyone on Spirit Hall's side immediately changed expressions in surprise.

However, they quickly understood.

Though they did not recognize this unknown beast, it was most likely a Soul Beast as well.

And since it was also a Soul Beast, it was only natural for this suddenly appearing beast to save the transformed Soft Bone Rabbit.

"Sister Ah Rou, it's wonderful that you're okay!"

Controlling the Silver Moon Blades formed from the Azure Scaled Eagle Precious Technique, Shi Hao casually dealt with several Red-Clothed Archbishops and Black-Clothed Bishops from Spirit Hall who had rushed over to entangle him. Seeing that Ah Rou was unharmed, he could not help feeling excited and overjoyed.

"Humans deserve to die!"

In the sky, after rescuing Ah Rou, the Crocodile Demon King held her slender waist with his left arm. His crimson vertical pupils slowly swept across the Spirit Hall soul masters below before he suddenly spoke coldly.

"Earth - Myriad Crocodiles Devour!"

He suddenly stretched out his right hand and made a grasping motion toward the ground. With a cold shout from the Crocodile Demon King, he forcefully activated the power of the Earth Fruit.

The entire ground instantly surged. Vast amounts of soil roiled like a tsunami, violently rushing into the sky and rapidly solidifying in midair into enormous, terrifying giant crocodiles identical to the Crocodile Demon King's true form.

Then, one enormous Rock Giant Crocodile after another opened its savage maw and immediately lunged to bite the Spirit Hall soul masters, including the Red-Clothed Archbishops, Black-Clothed Bishops, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo, Bibi Dong, and even Shi Hao!

"Ahh!!"

Faced with a massive rock crocodile suddenly snapping at him with its gaping maw, little Shi Hao cried out and hurriedly dodged aside.

"Don't attack me! I'm not an enemy!"

After evading the bite of a Rock Giant Crocodile, Shi Hao was furious. Pointing at the Crocodile Demon King in the air, he shouted angrily.

Yet the Crocodile Demon King's expression remained cold. After a snort, he directly controlled even more enormous Rock Giant Crocodiles to attack Shi Hao again.

Facing the bites, slaps, and sweeping tail strikes of the giant Rock Giant Crocodiles, Shi Hao could only dodge while counterattacking.

Though Shi Hao's combat strength was astonishing, and he could blow apart a Rock Giant Crocodile's body with a casual punch or slice one in two with a casual swing of the sharp Silver Moon Blade formed from his Azure Scaled Eagle Precious Technique.

Unfortunately, those attacks were useless against the Rock Giant Crocodiles.

No matter how Shi Hao shattered their bodies or split them in half.

Under the Crocodile Demon King's Earth Fruit power, their bodies would recover in the blink of an eye and continue attacking Shi Hao.

"Damn it! If you want to drive me away, then I'll leave. But if you dare bully Sister Ah Rou, just wait until I make you pay!"

Realizing that he simply could not kill the rock crocodiles, Shi Hao could only point angrily at the Crocodile Demon King in the sky and loudly threaten him before swiftly turning and fleeing.

Meanwhile, while Shi Hao was being attacked by the rock crocodiles, Spirit Hall's soul masters naturally fared even worse!

Under the attacks of the enormous Rock Giant Crocodiles, Spirit Hall's Red-Clothed Archbishops and Black-Clothed Bishops were almost all devoured by the rock crocodiles.

Naturally, Bibi Dong wanted to stop this, but she was equally unable to kill the summoned Rock Giant Crocodiles.

In such a situation, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei had suffered backlash after their Martial Soul Fusion Skill Two-Yin Stillness Domain was broken. Under the attacks of the Rock Giant Crocodiles, they could only struggle desperately, teetering on the brink of death at every moment.

Though Bibi Dong's face was grim and she was filled with unwillingness, she could only choose to cut her losses by taking Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and the few remaining Red-Clothed Archbishops and Black-Clothed Bishops away.

"Let's go!"

As Shi Hao fled, Bibi Dong also protected the injured Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, along with the few remaining Red-Clothed Archbishops and Black-Clothed Bishops, and swiftly escaped from the battlefield.

After driving away Shi Hao and Spirit Hall's forces, the cold-faced Crocodile Demon King finally descended to the ground with Ah Rou.

"Mom!!"

Seeing that Ah Rou was all right, Xiao Wu, who had been hiding in the distance, became overwhelmed with excitement. She ran over at once and threw herself into Ah Rou's arms.

"Xiao Wu!"

Having survived the ordeal, Ah Rou tightly embraced her daughter. Her eyes reddened, and her heart was filled with emotion.

"Thank you for saving me!"

After sharing a moment of affection with Xiao Wu, Ah Rou held her in her arms and sincerely thanked the Crocodile Demon King.

She had nearly died at Bibi Dong's hands just now. Had this fellow clansman not suddenly appeared to save her, she would very likely have died.

"By the way, benefactor, may I ask your name?"

After thanking him, Ah Rou asked again.

"Just call me the Crocodile Demon King."

The Crocodile Demon King answered blandly.

"The Crocodile Demon King?"

Ah Rou froze, feeling somewhat strange.

The name certainly sounded domineering, but it seemed more like a nickname.

Still, Ah Rou did not ask further.

"Benefactor, I'm truly grateful that you saved me, but why did you attack Xiao Hao just now?"

"Though Xiao Hao is also human, he isn't from our world, nor is he a soul master from Spirit Hall. We shouldn't be hostile toward all humans."

After thanking him, Ah Rou took a deep breath and asked why the Crocodile Demon King had attacked Shi Hao. She spoke up for Shi Hao, tactfully trying to persuade the Crocodile Demon King not to be hostile toward all humans.

But upon hearing Ah Rou's words, the Crocodile Demon King suddenly sneered.

"I know everything you just said! I know he isn't from this world... because he and I come from the same place!"

"What!!"

The Crocodile Demon King's words greatly shocked Ah Rou.

"What, are you surprised?"

The Crocodile Demon King continued to sneer.

"Did you think I was a Soul Beast from your world? How ridiculous!"

"After arriving in your world, I originally wanted to see if I could find any of my kind. That was when I learned of the existence of you Soul Beasts."

"You Soul Beasts are a powerful beast race, blessed with exceptional talent and incredibly long lifespans. You can easily live for tens of thousands of years."

"In our Demon Realm, even a pig could easily become a Demon King after cultivating for tens of thousands of years."

"But despite having such excellent conditions, you Soul Beasts have actually allowed yourselves to be suppressed by the weak Human Race of this world, hunted like prey. You really are useless!!"
