Exchanging Treasure Chests and the Crocodile Demon King

Within the Star Dou Great Forest.

On Shi Hao's journey toward the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area, he slaughtered quite a few Soul Beasts along the way.

Although he had not deliberately hunted them, after several days, Bai Luo had unexpectedly gained more than ten thousand Source Energy Points.

With so many Source Energy Points, Bai Luo had enough to exchange for one Gold Treasure Chest, along with several Silver Treasure Chests and Bronze Treasure Chests!

"System, I want to exchange for one Gold Treasure Chest, three Silver Treasure Chests, and three Bronze Treasure Chests!"

Inside a wooden house in Holy Soul Village.

Looking at the 13,323 Source Energy Points listed on the Panel, Bai Luo suppressed his anticipation and excitement as he made the exchange.

"Congratulations, Host. You have obtained Gold Treasure Chest x1, Silver Treasure Chest x3, and Bronze Treasure Chest x3. Would you like to open them all?"

After Bai Luo completed the exchange, the system's cold voice immediately rang out in his mind.

"Of course! Open them all!"

As Bai Luo confirmed.

The next moment, a series of "Ding! Ding! Ding!" sounds rang out in Bai Luo's mind.

At the same time, the information on the dark blue Panel instantly vanished, and new reward data rapidly refreshed.

"Ding! All treasure chests have been opened. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained:

"These rewards... are really good!"

Looking at the descriptions of the various rewards on the dark blue Panel, Bai Luo's eyes shone brightly, and his heart was filled with joy.

An Earth-Elemental Devil Fruit, a Mutant - Red Devil template, Transformation Grass, a Dugu Qiubai template...

The rewards from this batch of treasure chests were all top-tier!

There was no need to say much about the Earth-Elemental Devil Fruit from the Gold Treasure Chest. Logia-type Devil Fruits were the highest-tier Devil Fruits in the One Piece World!

As for the three templates—the Mutant - Red Devil template, Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie, and the Dugu Qiubai template—

Among them, the clone created by the Red Devil template might not be particularly powerful, but an ability like teleportation was incredibly versatile, with far too many uses!

As for Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie, the clone created from it might not possess any special abilities, since it was ultimately just an ordinary mutated crocodile.

If it relied only on its powerful body, its strength would certainly still be far inferior to the powerful Soul Beasts standing at the pinnacle of Douluo Continent.

But with the Transformation Grass and the Langlang Mountain Basic Demon Cultivation Technique.

Combining the two could undoubtedly create an even more powerful demon race clone!

Previously, simply inventing a saw and affecting the area around Holy Soul Village had earned him more than a hundred Source Energy Points.

But what if he could spread a demon cultivation technique like the Langlang Mountain Basic Demon Cultivation Technique among the Soul Beast race and have the Soul Beasts turn to demon cultivation?

If it succeeded, the impact it would have on Douluo Continent—and the Source Energy Points it could bring—would be immeasurable!

Dugu Qiubai, meanwhile, was also a very powerful template.

Moreover, Dugu Qiubai's martial arts would be extremely useful to Bai Luo.

"How should I use these rewards?"

After opening the treasure chests, Bai Luo could not help falling into deep thought as he looked at the rewards he had obtained.

But after some consideration, Bai Luo quickly decided how to use the rewards he had drawn this time.

Bai Luo naturally planned to use the Small Revitalizing Pill himself.

As for the Dugu Qiubai template and the Mutant - Red Devil template, he would set them aside for the time being.

He planned to use everything else together.

By combining the Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie template, Puppet Avatar, Transformation Grass, and the Langlang Mountain Basic Demon Cultivation Technique, he could undoubtedly create a demon race clone.

With this demon race clone, as long as he handled things well, he could infiltrate the Soul Beast race and spread the Langlang Mountain Basic Demon Cultivation Technique among them.

However, if he only used the Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie template, Puppet Avatar, Transformation Grass, and the Langlang Mountain Basic Demon Cultivation Technique, the demon race clone he created might still be too weak.

At the very least, if Bai Luo wanted the mutated crocodile clone to also get involved in Spirit Hall's hunt for Xiao Wu and her mother.

That level of strength might still not be enough.

Therefore, although it pained him a little, after giving it some thought, Bai Luo decided to use the Earth-Elemental Devil Fruit from the Gold Treasure Chest on the Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie clone as well.

That should make it strong enough!

But after using so many rewards to create such a powerful mutated crocodile clone, continuing to call it Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie no longer seemed appropriate.

It simply did not sound imposing enough!

After all, with all the good things he had used, the mutated crocodile clone he created would absolutely qualify as a demon king even in a cultivation world.

Hmm... Demon King...

Thinking of how the Langlang Mountain Basic Demon Cultivation Technique came from the Journey to the West World, then recalling the famous Lion Camel Ridge Three Demon Kings from that world...

Bai Luo's heart stirred.

Got it!

Why not call this mutated crocodile clone... the Crocodile Demon King!
