Pink Big Rabbit

Crocodile Demon King!

That name sounded incredibly imposing!

After deciding to use most of the rewards from the treasure chest to create the Crocodile Demon King avatar, Bai Luo left the house and headed for the Back Mountain.

He had no choice. Even an avatar created using the Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie template would be enormous.

It was a giant beast several stories tall!

And once the avatar consumed the Transformation Grass and turned into a Demon Beast, it would definitely grow even larger!

Bai Luo's house certainly could not accommodate it. He could only find a place in the Back Mountain forest to create the Crocodile Demon King avatar.

After making his way to the Back Mountain,

Bai Luo worried that the commotion from creating the Crocodile Demon King avatar would alert Tang Hao.

So he entered the forest behind the mountain and kept going deeper until Holy Soul Village was completely out of sight before stopping.

"System, I want to exchange for a Puppet Avatar."

After finding a secluded, spacious clearing in the forest, Bai Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke to the system.

The next moment, silver light flashed before his eyes.

A silver, faceless puppet resembling a plastic mannequin suddenly appeared in the clearing ahead.

Then, after Bai Luo designated the Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie template for the Puppet Avatar,

A streak of golden light instantly shot out from Bai Luo's body and plunged into the Puppet Avatar.

Immediately afterward, dazzling light burst from the Puppet Avatar.

Within that blinding radiance, a colossal creature began expanding wildly as though inflated like a balloon. Its rapidly growing body soon crushed the surrounding trees one after another.

In the blink of an eye, a terrifying beast appeared, six stories tall and over sixty meters long. Its entire body was covered in hard dark-green scales. It resembled a crocodile, but looked far more savage and ferocious.

Its back was covered in sharp dark-green bony spikes, while its mouth bristled with protruding fangs. The fangs at the corners of its mouth curved upward like those of a wild boar. Several layers of exposed fleshy folds around its neck opened and closed, concealing the gills that allowed it to breathe underwater. A cruel, vicious aura billowed forth, enough to make anyone shudder.

But creating the Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie avatar was far from the end.

After applying the Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie template to the Puppet Avatar and creating the Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie avatar,

Bai Luo then used the Transformation Grass, the Langlang Mountain Basic Demon Cultivation Technique, and the Earth-Elemental Devil Fruit on the Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie avatar.

The moment Bai Luo applied those three rewards to the Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie avatar,

A tyrannical, baleful black Demon Qi erupted from within it.

Amid the black Demon Qi, the already massive, hideous Mutated Crocodile avatar swelled in size once again. Its scales became tougher and heavier, its head grew even more savage, and the dark-green bony spikes on its back thrust outward dramatically, becoming like spears.

After the changes to its body were complete,

The surging black Demon Qi suddenly swept back like a storm, howling as it was entirely drawn back into the Mutated Crocodile - Lizzie—no! It should have been called the Crocodile Demon King avatar.

Then, the Crocodile Demon King avatar, as massive as a high-rise building, rapidly shrank.

In the end, it became a tall young man clad in dark-green armor, with a cold, stern face, a chilling and vicious aura, and a pair of bright yellow vertical pupils.

Clearly, this was the Crocodile Demon King avatar's appearance after transforming.

"You should get going too."

Having created the Crocodile Demon King avatar, Bai Luo looked at its transformed form with considerable satisfaction and immediately spoke.

The Crocodile Demon King avatar merely nodded coldly. Then it suddenly dove toward the ground, elementalizing into earth midair and sinking directly into the soil as though using earth escape, heading toward the Star Dou Great Forest as well.

Bai Luo had sent out the Young Desolate Heaven Emperor Shi Hao avatar because he wanted Shi Hao to stop Spirit Hall from hunting Xiao Wu and her mother.

But relying on the Shi Hao avatar alone might not be safe enough.

With the powerful Crocodile Demon King avatar added to the equation, not only would things be more secure, but he could also pass the Demon Cultivation Method on to the Soul Beast race and obtain massive amounts of Source Energy Points.

Elsewhere, in the Star Dou Great Forest,

After saving the Electric Pattern Purple Panther Soul Beast, Shi Hao tamed it and rode it toward the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area.

It was comfortable, and he could drink the beast milk he loved. It was simply wonderful!

But good times were always short-lived.

After riding the Electric Pattern Purple Panther Soul Beast into the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area, Shi Hao could only reluctantly bid it farewell.

"Little Purple, goodbye! I'll miss you!"

Waving farewell to the Electric Pattern Purple Panther Soul Beast as it departed with its cub, Shi Hao touched the warm milk canister at his waist, filled with beast milk, and could not help feeling upset and dejected.

Without Little Purple, where would he find the next canister of beast milk once he finished this one?

Sigh!

Shi Hao sighed, then turned around and entered the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area in low spirits.

Compared to the other parts of the Star Dou Great Forest, far fewer Soul Beasts seemed to live in the core area.

That was because the Soul Beasts residing here were all top-tier ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts. Each had its own territory, and within those territories, there was generally only food, not opponents.

As Shi Hao wandered aimlessly through the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area, he only knew to keep heading inward. He had no idea when he would encounter Xiao Wu's family in this dense, uninhabited forest.

But he remembered the novel mentioning that the Sky Azure Bull Python lived in a vast lake within the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area. That should not be difficult to find.

"Hmm!"

As Shi Hao walked through the forest, he spotted traces of a campfire in a clearing not far from a stream, prompting him to approach at once.

"A campfire?"

Finding a campfire in the wilderness was perfectly normal.

But this was the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area, where ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts ran rampant. Even Soul Saints did not dare enter recklessly. Those who dared come here were basically Titled Douluo.

However, there was only one set of campfire traces here. It probably had not been left by Spirit Hall Soul Masters who had come to hunt Xiao Wu and her mother.

After all, if Bibi Dong wanted to hunt Xiao Wu's mother, she would certainly have brought more than one or several Soul Masters. There would have been at least a dozen, perhaps even dozens!

So this was very likely left behind by Xiao Wu and her mother!

Xiao Wu's mother seemed to be a fierce beast capable of transforming!

And there were still plenty of traces left from the campfire.

If Xiao Wu and her mother had truly left it behind, they might be nearby!

He should search the area!

Having discovered campfire traces that likely belonged to Xiao Wu and her mother, Shi Hao began searching the surroundings. Before long, he found rabbit footprints as large as a human palm.

That's right! Rabbit footprints, proven by the pink rabbit fur beside them!

He found them!

Shi Hao was overjoyed. Following the tracks, he soon followed the stream into a valley and arrived before a sea of multicolored flowers.

But before Shi Hao could enter the flower field, a pink figure suddenly shot out from within it, streaking past him with lightning speed.

Shi Hao saw clearly that it was a huge pink rabbit.

"What a big rabbit! Don't run! Wait for me, I won't eat you!"

Seeing the Pink Big Rabbit fleeing, Shi Hao cried out in delight and quickly gave chase.
