Chapter 42: The Troublesome Sand Crocodile

After Wei Fang took over the task, Mu Nujiao and a few others rushed to the dam in a swift and decisive manner.

The water and the sky meet, the waves are endless, and all you can see is a vast expanse of water.

"Explosive Wave: Expel!"

"Rock Barrier Phosphorus Stone!"

"Wind Disk Tornado!"

"Ice vine·covering!"

The guard mages who had been stationed there early indiscriminately bombarded the crocodile monsters that were ready to move. The hunters who had been waiting for orders early in the morning watched the battle from the sidelines. Now was not the time for them to take action.

The colorful star maps gathered together and bloomed brilliantly, shocking Bai Le for a moment.

"The Yangtze River flood season is about to end, and the number of crocodiles has been greatly reduced. Otherwise, there would be crocodiles in every wave of attack at the dam entrance."

"You seem familiar with this."

Bai Le's gaze lingered on Mu Nujiao's absolutely beautiful profile. He was amazed and couldn't help but admire her.

"These are just trivial matters. It's easy to find out if you collect intelligence in advance. You must be fully prepared before each mission."

So does this mean I'm a fool? Bai Le muttered to himself.

Well, he was.

In a short while, the river water below the dam was dyed red. The well-trained magic guards cooperated very well, and the continuous magic bombardment made the river surface chaotic. The cunning crocodile monster swallowed the remains of its companion and continued to lurk under the water.

"This is just the first wave of attack, a test from the crocodile monster. What are you looking at?" Mu Nujiao noticed that Bai Le was staring at the river in a daze. She couldn't help but feel curious. She didn't know what the ring that was opened last night was. It was so mysterious.

In Bai Le's sight, a faint blue light like a firefly appeared on the crocodile monster, as small as a candle flame. However, because no one seized it, the faint blue light quickly dissipated, turning into a black airflow and escaping into the river and then into the sea.

"Remnant soul."

"You necromancers are really weird."

"Let's go, our mission is elsewhere."

The Yangtze River basin is extensive, and dams cannot be built everywhere. Some places require regular patrols and cleaning.

Downstream diversion area.

A sand crocodile, a mid-level warrior, moved freely with its jet-black scales and unique earth-related abilities, and played tricks on a team of demon hunters. The demon hunters were soon defeated and injured, and suffered repeated defeats.

"This is the Sand Crocodile, a variant of the Huangpu Crocodile Monster."

"Ground Wave - Move!"

Liang Jie skillfully used the ground wave to rescue the injured people.

Then, his body was like stepping on an accelerated automatic horizontal elevator, rapidly approaching the sand crocodile. Seeing the weak man offering himself to the door, the sand crocodile opened its bloody mouth and bit Liang Jie.

"Rock Barrier Phosphorus Stone!"

A ten-meter-high irregular phosphorus stone suddenly rose up from the soft ground, lifting the sand crocodile high from its fragile belly.

"Fierce Fist·Hungry Sky!"

Liang Jie seized the opportunity, and his violent fire fist shot up into the sky, and the flames engulfed the sand crocodile.

"Ice Mane·Condensation!"

Lu Liang froze the ground with quick eyes and hands. Countless ice and frost descended on the area where the sand crocodile was knocked away. The ground was covered with blue frost in just a few seconds, and the sand crocodile fell heavily on the ice.

The thick black scales prevented him from escaping again and he disappeared into the ground.

Unable to escape, the sand crocodile immediately set its sights on Liang Jie, who was closest to it, and rushed towards him like a high-speed truck.

Liang Jie immediately erected a thick rock barrier to resist, and his body followed the ground waves and quickly pulled away.

The crocodile monster flew at high speed and smashed the rock barrier into pieces. "What a pity, the captain is not here. It will be difficult to penetrate its scales in a short time."

"Ice lock!"

Lu Liang quickly constructed an ice star map, and ice chains as thick as an adult's arm went towards the sand crocodile, trapping its limbs.

The frost on the field was still accumulating, and the speed of the sand crocodile had slowed down visibly.

"Giant Shadow Nail·Confinement!"

Deputy Captain Li Jia approached the sand crocodile at some point, and emerged from the shadow of the frost-covered rock barrier like a ghost, leaping to the top of the ten-meter-high rock barrier. On Li Jia's barren chest, a faintly visible giant spike suddenly condensed.

As soon as the giant shadow spike, which was full of dark power, appeared, the shadow of the rock barrier began to twist. When the giant shadow spike cut through space, it made no sound at all, and only the faint ripples in space revealed the giant shadow spike's passage.

The giant shadow nail went towards the shadow of the sand crocodile which was temporarily trapped by the rock barriers and ice locks. The sand crocodile was fixed by the giant shadow nail and unable to move.

"Vine·Tangle!"

Mu Nujiao, who was standing by, had been waiting for a long time. She triggered the thorn trap she had set up, and the green vines grew rapidly, trapping the sand crocodile.

"Luliang, hurry!" Deputy Captain Li Jia shouted.

Lu Liang used all his strength to cast the Ice Creeper, firing at full power. The frost quickly condensed and gathered at the feet of the sand crocodile, spreading along the sand crocodile's thick scales, and soon froze the sand crocodile into a huge ice block.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The ice vines have a penetrating effect. The longer the ice vines last, the greater the power. Just wait a little longer and the sand crocodile's blood will be frozen.

Looking at Mu Nujiao and the monster hunting team who were working in perfect harmony, Bai Le was a little suspicious whether this was Mu Nujiao's first time going out for training.

When everyone thought they had won, Lu Liang told them some bad news.

"Deputy Captain, this sand crocodile is not dead yet."

"Not dead?" Liang Jie looked at the sand crocodile that had been frozen into an ice sculpture in disbelief.

"That's impossible. We have dealt with sand crocodiles before. It's impossible for a sand crocodile of medium level to survive."

"Captain, I'm serious, its blood is flowing rapidly. I can feel that this sand crocodile is about to break through the ice." Lu Liang said seriously.

"Is it about to break through? This is trouble. If we can barely trap a mid-level general and grind it to death bit by bit, we are totally unable to deal with a high-level general. We can't restrict the violent sand crocodile's actions at all. Hurry and ask for help!"

The more than ten-meter-long body of the sand crocodile was completely frozen into an ice sculpture. Through the transparent frost, everyone could see that the sand crocodile's scales were transforming little by little. The ice vines were completely unable to stop the sand crocodile's breakthrough.

"Damn it, how could I break through at this time? This shouldn't happen." Liang Jie urgently dialed Wei Fang's help line and called for support.

Mu Nujiao's beautiful eyebrows were also twisted into a knot.

"If nothing unexpected happens, a high-level warrior is the pinnacle of a sand crocodile. The number of crocodiles increases dramatically during the Yangtze River flood season. There are not enough resources for a sand crocodile to break through to a high-level warrior."

"The high-level general's sand crocodile is fully capable of annihilating our entire army. Miss, you go first and wait for Wei Fang's support." Li Jia asked Mu Nujiao to retreat quickly. Anyone could die, except her, the eldest lady of the Mu family.

If they die, the Mu family will at least treat their relatives well.

"Maybe I can fix it."

Bai Le summoned the Gate of Death, and the Bone-Killing Dark Tiger roared and headed towards the Sand Crocodile.

"Miss, leave quickly!"

"Let him try. At worst we can use his ghost to escape."

Although the sand crocodile is strong, it is not good at speed after all.

Mu Nujiao signaled Lu Liang to stop releasing the ice vines, and the Bone Killing Tiger approached and pressed its paw against the ice sculpture.

A chilling aura of death flowed out from the fingertips, penetrating through the ice and seeping into the body of the sand crocodile.

Wherever the deathly energy reached, the scales quickly rotted, temporarily suppressing the sand crocodile's breakthrough.
