Chapter 217 The Great Crocodile



"Aaaaah, it's back again!" the Green Fairy, who had been staring at the swamp, cried out.

Nangong Xu's eyes narrowed, and he thrust out the tasseled spear in his hand, stabbing it hard into the giant crocodile's forehead. Crimson blood immediately flowed down the crocodile's forehead.

"Holy crap, amazing!" Yun Qingran's almond-shaped eyes widened as she stared in amazement at the tasseled spear in his hand. The spear was entirely black with an incredibly sharp blade, clearly a divine weapon.

Nangong Xu must be skilled in both swords and spears. He was holding a sword just now, but now he has switched to a more suitable spear.

As a prince of a country, he is naturally wealthy and powerful. The long sword he just used was a rare treasure, and this tasseled spear is also a divine weapon.

Yun Qingran misses her Zhanlang Sword very much. It was a good sword, but unfortunately it was taken away in the Demon Valley.

The crocodile, in pain after being stabbed, immediately retreated back into the mud.

"Let's go quickly," Yun Qingran said urgently.

Crocodiles are social animals, and now that this crocodile is bleeding, the smell of blood will attract more crocodiles to this area.

"Let's go," Nangong Xu ordered.

Everyone started paddling quickly, trying to escape. But they were in a swamp, and there were some weeds blocking their way, so they couldn't go much faster.

Yun Qingran had a very ominous premonition.

After the bamboo raft had traveled several dozen meters, mud bubbles suddenly began to rise from the calm swamp behind them.

Looking at these mud bubbles, Yun Qingran felt a chill run down her spine. My God, how many crocodiles are there? She's really stirred up a crocodile nest.

Yun Qingran had assumed the crocodiles were all behind the bamboo raft, but little did she know that a large crocodile had been lurking beneath it all along. Suddenly, the crocodile propelled the raft into the air, sending everyone flying with it.

"Ahhhh, help me..." Green Fairy shouted as he flew through the air.

Yun Qingran was first propelled upwards by the force, but began to fall downwards after losing the thrust.

"Ahhh, help me..." Yun Qingran screamed. There was a large crocodile right where she landed, and the crocodile was opening its mouth, waiting for her to fall into its mouth.

"Jun Molin!" Yun Qingran shouted in a panic.

Just as she was about to fall into the crocodile's mouth, a large hand grabbed her waist, then spun around and carried her to the bamboo raft that had already landed.

"Nangong Xu, thank you." Yun Qingran turned her head and saw Nangong Xu's face. His expression was still distant and indifferent, but there seemed to be a trace of pain beneath that indifference.

Eagle Feather caught Green Immortal and brought him back to the bamboo raft. Apart from them, the highly skilled guards also returned to the bamboo raft, and there were no casualties for the time being.

Yun Qingran glanced at the guards. Judging from their attire, they were just ordinary guards in the Prince's mansion. But their martial arts skills were far beyond imagination; they were not ordinary guards.

As rumored, Nangong Xu is indeed a figure who can rival Jun Molin. His ambition is probably not as small as it seems, and he doesn't seem to care about the position of crown prince.

"Be careful." Yun Qingran mentally estimated Nangong Xu's true strength, but her eyes were still fixed on the surface of the swamp. She saw a large crocodile open its mouth and bite at Nangong Xu's thigh.

Nangong Xu immediately turned around, thrusting his spear forward and aiming it at the crocodile's forehead, striking it again.

But the others weren't so lucky; their weapons were ordinary and couldn't pierce the crocodile's rough, thick skin.

These crocodiles are the kings of this swamp, ruling it above all else. This is probably the first time they've been injured by someone. Their anger has reached its peak, and they're hissing and roaring at the bamboo raft incessantly.

"That's terrifying." Green Immortal gripped Eagle Feather's arm tightly.

"Eagle Feather, protect Green Immortal well." Yun Qingran said to Eagle Feather. Green Immortal's martial arts were too weak. If no one protected him, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of the swamp today.

"Yes." Eagle Feather nodded.

Nangong Xu thrust out his spear again, and another eager crocodile was wounded.

The three giant crocodiles were injured, making them realize that the people on the bamboo raft were not to be trifled with. They began to retreat continuously, but instead of leaving, they surrounded the bamboo raft.

"What are they going to do?" Eagle Feather looked at them, puzzled.

“Crocodiles are very intelligent creatures. They must have realized that we are evenly matched, so they want to trap us and eat us when we are exhausted and unable to resist,” Yun Qingran said.

"Aaaaaah, what do we do?" Green Fairy looked at the giant crocodiles in terror.

"Wait, wait for rescue," Nangong Xu said briefly.

"That's all we can do now." Yun Qingran didn't have any better options at the moment.

The crocodiles were very patient, all floating on the mud around the bamboo raft and not leaving. Everyone tried to row the raft away, but as soon as the raft moved, they swam up, and two of the guards were bitten on the foot.

Therefore, it's clear that if they were to force their way out, the crocodile side would suffer heavy losses, though the human side would likely be in dire straits. In the current situation, they can only wait for reinforcements.

Everyone sat on the bamboo raft, quietly resting and waiting for reinforcements.

As the sun sets, the gray-blue sky gradually darkens, and the orange-red sunset shines on the earth, making the land appear gentler.

"The fortune teller said that I will be blessed with immense wealth, which will come in a rush, and shameless romantic encounters will bloom one after another. No matter how much I eat every day or how much I love food, I will have a figure that others envy."

"Oh, the weather is not cooperating. I'm going to lie in bed and sleep. This boring world has become an even bigger burden because of me. I'll play the piano for the ants that are moving house."

"Give me your money, give me your car, and then add my name after your name on the property deed. I don't really ask for much. It would be better if the car were a sports car. And you have to swear right now that you will love only me forever."

"You are my little apple."

…………

Yun Qingran leaned against the Green Immortal, singing listlessly. Her singing wasn't exactly off-key, but it was certainly awful.

Other people's voices sound like they've been kissed by angels, while Yun Qingran's voice sounds like it's been choked by the King of Hell.

"The fortune teller said that I will be blessed with immense wealth, which will come in a rush, and shameless romantic encounters will bloom one after another. No matter how much I eat every day or how much I love food, I will have a figure that others envy."

After singing the songs she knew, Yun Qingran started the second round.

"Master, I have a favor to ask. Could you please stop singing? What if your singing provokes the crocodiles to attack?" Green Immortal said tactfully.

"What do you mean? Are you saying I didn't sing well?" Yun Qingran asked Green Immortal angrily.

"Hmm." Green Immortal nodded.

Yun Qingran was hurt and shut her mouth, refusing to sing.

“I think the lyrics are quite interesting, and the melody is also very cheerful,” Nangong Xu said from the side.

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards stared at him in disbelief. "Your Highness is being far too kind!"
