Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yu Huang tied a sachet on her belt. The sachet contained the blood of a One-Eyed Wolf Beast. On the way to the swamp with the ape, they encountered many strange-looking little demon beasts. However, when these little demon beasts smelled the blood of the One-Eyed Wolf Beast, they knew that Yu Huang had successfully killed or defeated a powerful One-Eyed Wolf Beast. They actually avoided her and didn’t dare to provoke her.
Yu Huang didn’t take those little demon beasts seriously.
They walked south for a while before walking out of the endless gra.s.sland and arriving at a swamp. The swamp was very wide, and when the wind blew, the reeds swayed and startled a group of resting birds.
Yu Huang stared at the birds that were fleeing in the sky and thought to herself that there must be many bird eggs hidden in the reeds.
Just as she had this thought, the ape beside her strode towards the reeds and laid among them. It reached out and took out a pile of fist-sized bird eggs. When Yu Huang saw the bird eggs, she had already thought of a way to eat them.
!!
Salted duck egg, century egg, salted egg, fried egg, and steamed egg…
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, Yu Huang heard the ape cry out in alarm.
Yu Huang raised her head and looked towards the reeds. She saw that the ape’s calf had sunk into the swamp mud. This was the first time it had come to the swamp, so it had no idea about the characteristics of the swamp. Its body was suddenly pulled down by the soft mud. The confused ape was so frightened that it panicked and flailed about.
The ape shouted, “Roar!”
The mud here ate creatures!
The more the ape struggled, the faster it sank. Soon, its legs completely sank into the mud, leaving only its chest, head, and the bird egg in its arms.
The ape looked at Yu Huang helplessly and roared at her.
Yu Huang guessed that it was begging for mercy.
Yu Huang couldn’t help but think to herself, “How did such a stupid ape live to this age?”
Yu Huang shook her head. Only then did she take off the bow on her back and hand the bow to the ape. The ape held the bow in one hand and climbed up forcefully. With the other hand, it actually wanted to pick up the bird egg. Yu Huang was rendered speechless by it’s greedy actions.
She suddenly retracted her bow and stood on the land with it in her arms while looking at it with interest.
When the ape saw that Yu Huang had actually mercilessly retracted her bow, it instantly felt despair. “Roar!” It picked up the bird egg and threw it at Yu Huang.
Yu Huang grabbed the bird egg. Seeing that the eggsh.e.l.l was relatively clean, she lowered her head and sniffed the bird egg. Unexpectedly, the bird egg actually emitted a rich meaty fragrance, and it contained a very pure demonic power. This was the cleanest energy egg without any side effects!
She could get more of this thing since eating it could increase her spiritual power.
“Roar!” The ape realized that Yu Huang was its only choice to be saved. It let out a gentle and plaintive cry at Yu Huang, hoping that she would be soft-hearted for once.
Yu Huang didn’t really leave it in the lurch. She just couldn’t stand the ape’s greedy personality.
Yu Huang extended her bow again and placed it in front of the ape.
This time, the ape learned its lesson and stopped picking up the bird eggs. It hurriedly hugged the bow tightly with both hands and used all its strength to climb up the mud. However, the more it climbed, the deeper it sank. After all, it was a huge ape that weighed more than 300 pounds.
Seeing this, Yu Huang growled, “Lie down and don’t move!”
The ape was stunned by Yu Huang’s roar and didn’t dare to make a sound. It laid motionless in the mud and cooperated with Yu Huang. Yu Huang circulated her spiritual power and forcefully pried open the bow. She successfully pulled out the ape from the mud. She bent the bow and threw the ape into the sky. The ape landed on the land behind Yu Huang in a parabola.
The ape’s blue dress was covered in mud, and the long hair on its legs was stuck together by the mud. Its dirty appearance made people despise it.z
Yu Huang held the map and turned around to look at the mountains behind her. She saw that this mountain was somewhat similar to the mountain where the Terrestrial Alligator lived on the map, and she revealed a puzzled expression. According to Xiao Shu’s map, Terrestrial Alligators lived in a wide lake.
However, what appeared in front of Yu Huang wasn’t a lake, but a swamp.
Could it be that after ten thousand years, the inland lake had already become a swamp?
It wasn’t impossible.
Yu Huang immediately activated her psychic energy and carefully sensed the environment in front of her. She discovered that at the end of this reed field, there was indeed a small lake.
After ten thousand years, the large lake that occupied a third of the plate had already degenerated into a small lake with a diameter of less than ten kilometers. Yu Huang put away the map and turned around to say to the ape, “Let’s go!” She stuffed the ape into the storage device and spread her phoenix wings to fly towards the lake.
At this moment, Yu Huang didn’t notice that when she rose into the sky, the swamp beneath her suddenly moved strangely.
In one go, she flew to the side of the lake. Only then did Yu Huang land at the end of the reed field. She stepped on the reed and sized up the magnificent lake in front of her. She was curious about where the Terrestrial Alligator was hiding.
Although crocodiles were amphibians, they couldn’t stay in the water for long. They had to come out to breathe.
Yu Huang decided to pick up eggs in the reed field while waiting for the crocodile to appear.
However, even when the sky turned dark, the Terrestrial Alligator didn’t appear. Yu Huang’s interspatial ring was about to be filled with bird eggs. Realizing that this wasn’t the way to go, Yu Huang decided to lure the snake out of its hole.
She suddenly flew into the sky and controlled her psychic power to create a huge net. Then, she used her spiritual power to attack the reed field below and frightened the birds in the reed field until they flew up. At this moment, she hurriedly used her psychic power to imprison the birds and threw them into the lake.
She pulled one end of the huge net and quietly stared at the surface of the lake while waiting for the Terrestrial Alligator to come and hunt.
However, the Terrestrial Alligator still didn’t appear.
Realizing that this method would not work, Yu Huang was completely helpless.
Where was this guy hiding?
At this moment, Yu Huang suddenly discovered that the reeds in front of her suddenly moved without any wind.
There was no wind, and the birds had all been surrounded by her. How could the reeds move?
Could the alligator be hiding in the reeds?
Yu Huang immediately flew towards the reeds. When she got closer, she realized that there was nothing in the reeds. However, the reeds were still swaying slightly in a rhythm, as if…
It was like the air vent of a mine blowing the weeds..
Yu Huang walked to the swaying weeds and reached out to pull open the reeds. She actually saw a hole the size of an adult yak. The mud on the hole would occasionally move. Every time it moved, a gust of wind would blow against the reeds.
This…
Yu Huang suddenly had a bold guess.
Could this hole be the nose of a Terrestrial Alligator?!
Yu Huang suddenly took a few steps back before flying into the deep sky. She lowered her head to look at the reeds below her. After she looked down from the sky, only then did she realize that the wetland reeds was actually in the form of a giant crocodile!
Without knowing the truth, Yu Huang finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
Yu Huang had never expected the Terrestrial Alligator to grow so big. On the map drawn by Xiao Shu, the Terrestrial Alligator was clearly just a small crocodile that looked about the size of a One-Eyed Wolf Beast!
At this moment, the reeds in the southeast corner below suddenly shook violently. When it shook, countless birds fled. This scene couldn’t help but remind Yu Huang of the scene she and the ape had seen earlier. So, the reason those birds were suddenly frightened was because this land fear crocodile had moved.
This time, the crocodile clearly didn’t just want to move.
It raised its head and shook its body. Then, its limbs moved slowly. Then, it moved even faster.
Thus, Yu Huang, who was floating in the sky, saw a huge crocodile with countless reeds on its back running towards the lake. It opened its mouth, and a row of thick white teeth emitted a white light under the moonlight.
Bang!
The Terrestrial Alligator suddenly plunged into the lake and ate the birds that Yu Huang had captured for it.
Seeing this scene, Yu Huang was stunned and cursed inwardly, “Xiao Shu, you misled me again!”
