She suddenly felt a little sleepy. The medicinal herbs here were really good, which made her more and more enthusiastic as she refined them.
It's a bit mentally taxing, but how effective is it? She doesn't feel much of a difference right now.
However, it was still effective; otherwise, given my past self, I definitely wouldn't have been able to last this long.
...
There seems to be someone ahead.
They followed Lu Qi and came to a swamp where people were desperately calling for help, and others were fleeing towards them, as if something was behind them.
Someone ran over quickly, trying to push Chen Hua, but missed and fell to the ground.
He fell and hit his chin because he used too much force, and heard a cracking sound.
The man cried out in pain, then, as if realizing something, quickly covered his mouth and stared wide-eyed at what was in front of him.
At the same time, she still looked at Chen Hua with resentment. If it weren't for her, how could she have fallen?
Why did she just avoid him like that? What's wrong with him pushing her away?
Chen Hua: ...
Ignoring the person, I looked straight ahead; my thought process was quite peculiar anyway.
The reason everyone was fleeing was that there were many crocodiles in the swamp, and these crocodiles were huge and covered with sharp spines.
In just a short while, it had already opened its blood-red maw and devoured quite a few people, and it wasn't just one crocodile.
Many more have climbed over, but this crocodile is the largest.
"Help! Help! There are crocodiles!"
When those people saw Shen Hua and the others looking so glamorous, they felt as if they had found their backbone and all rushed over, shouting for help.
“My dear niece, it’s not these crocodiles, but I can smell that thing. It must be not far from here. It passed through here, and the reason these crocodiles are so violent is because of that thing,” Lu Qi said with certainty.
After casting a cleansing spell on herself, she jumped into Chen Hua's arms and playfully stuck out her tongue at Zhou Feng.
Zhou Feng: ...
How hateful! I suddenly realized how good the old fox was, nothing like this fox at all, who only knows how to compete for his favor.
Back then, he was his master's favorite apprentice. His master would bring him all the good food and teach him patiently.
But everything has become a bubble. The master still speaks kindly, but the affection for him is gone.
No, I'm all grown up now, how can I still let my master take care of me?
He should be respectful to his master, so he generously decided not to argue with the little fox.
snort!
Let's ignore it and see how long it can keep gloating.
As Shen Hua, carrying the fox, was about to deal with the crocodiles, Zhou Feng rushed forward.
"Master, you rest first, it will be resolved in a moment."
Shen Hua: "Okay."
Having apprentices means I don't have to do anything myself anymore; I had just forgotten about that for a moment.
That's good, at least she herself is very low-key.
"Niece, didn't we agree to keep a low profile?" Lu Qi asked curiously.
It always feels like it's not being low-key at all right now, with such a talented apprentice appearing; this is being high-profile!
Although I hate to admit it, my niece's apprentice is really amazing, and I don't have to worry about him holding me back.
"Isn't this low-key? I'm already dressed like this, and I'm having my apprentices do all the work. It's very low-key."
"Really? So this is what being low-key means."
"Of course, although you've grown taller, there's still a lot you need to learn."
While observing the battle, Shen Hua taught the fox, who nodded as if he understood but not quite.
Over there, Zhou Feng took out a large knife and slashed at the crocodile, but it only produced a few sparks.
The shell was extremely hard; a strike imbued with spiritual energy failed to cleave it.
There was no other way but to change targets and chop at his head. Crack!
The crocodile's head was fine, but his knife almost broke. The knife was of poor quality, so he threw it away and took out a new one.
This time, instead of cutting off its head or its body, he chopped at its eyes.
"Pfft, pfft."
After two cuts, blood was flowing from the crocodile's eyes. It was now thrashing about in a rage, charging around headfirst in a frenzy.
Although this was effective, it was still not fatal, so it set its sights on the crocodile's belly.
This time it was incredibly fast, because as he blinded the crocodile, another crocodile rushed towards him, and then more and more followed.
If he doesn't get rid of them in time, he'll likely be surrounded and attacked. And if these crocodiles surround him, given their hard shells, it will be very difficult for him to break free.
So he quickly killed the rampaging crocodile, and then blinded the crocodile that ran towards him.
Because of his previous experience, he was very quick this time, killing more than ten crocodiles in just a few nights.
Upon seeing this, the remaining crocodiles all turned and ran away.
The scene was completely different from before, and it was quite spectacular.
The fleeing people gradually stopped and looked over in shock. Some of them had their eyes darting around, seemingly plotting something.
Seeing that the crocodiles had all run away, the people rushed to Zhou Feng's side. However, as soon as they ran over, Zhou Feng himself quickly ran to Chen Hua's side.
"Master, everything has been resolved."
The look in his eyes was like, "Come praise me, look how amazing I am! I scared away even such a difficult crocodile."
"Young man, young man..."
"Hero, hero..."
"So you're that good? Then why didn't you help me up earlier?" the man on the ground complained.
However, his chin was still in great pain. With such a powerful person around, he could endure the pain. Compared to his own life, he immediately ran over to try and pull Zhou Feng away.
Zhou Feng: ...
His master had already left quickly, still holding the fox.
Hearing those people shouting, he was quite frightened and immediately followed them as fast as lightning.
Those people only saw a gust of wind pass by them, and then the two people who were just standing there were gone.
"Quick, they're running that way. If we can't keep up, we'll still die when the crocodiles come."
"Yes, I heard before that a lot of powerful people came to rescue us, so why did he run away? Did he think we were a burden?"
Doesn't he think that way himself? Why do we need to force it out? Isn't this the truth?
But when he asked that question, many people actually agreed with him, and everyone strongly disapproved of their act of running away.
Weren't we here to save them?
"Let's hurry up and head in this direction. If others don't come to our rescue, what can we do? We still can't win."
