Luo Xinglan didn't rush to act. Instead, she took out a piece of luncheon meat from her backpack and threw it straight into the lake.
The luncheon meat traced a perfect parabola through the air before plummeting into the lake—
Less than a meter from the lake surface, several crocodiles suddenly leaped out of the water, their mouths wide open with sharp teeth, vying for the piece of meat.
Finally, a large crocodile, significantly larger than the others, snatched the piece of meat and swallowed it whole!
It then fell into the water with a "plop," splashing up a large spray of water.
Seeing this, the other crocodiles, though unwilling, sank into the water and quietly waited for the next "prey" to arrive.
The lake returned to calm, the dense lotus leaves concealing the turbulent waves as if nothing had happened.
In that instant, Luo Xinglan saw the crocodiles' attributes: they were a group of elite-level monsters.
Although they are only elite-level, there are simply too many of them.
She patted her chest, still shaken. Who knew that so many crocodiles were hiding in this seemingly calm lake!
Fortunately, she didn't rashly send the little divine bird to check the situation in the pavilion, nor did she go directly into the water, otherwise she and the little divine bird would have become food in the crocodile's mouth.
However, the crocodiles in this lake should also be protected by that invisible barrier, right?
Then her attacks became ineffective. How could she kill these crocodiles?
If we don't kill these crocodiles, we won't be able to get to the pavilion to check the situation.
She fell into deep thought, gazing at the lake.
By the way, since external attacks are useless, what about internal attacks?
She remembered that the scorpion venom exploded when she killed the giant desert scorpion!
The Desert Giant Scorpion is, after all, a leader-level monster, and she has already experienced the power of scorpion venom. It should be more than enough to deal with these crocodiles, right?
She took out the scorpion venom, which was contained in ten small white porcelain bottles, each about the thickness of a thumb and pitifully small in weight.
I only knew that I had obtained 10 portions of scorpion venom, but I didn't know that was all?
With such a small amount of scorpion venom, once it's thrown into the lake and diluted by the lake water, the toxicity will be negligible, right?
She vividly remembered that when the giant desert scorpion shot venom at her, it sprayed out a huge glob of it.
Who knew the system would only give her this much?
That's so stingy!
Luo Xinglan picked up one of the bottles to examine it.
[Scorpion venom: As one of the five poisonous creatures, it is the essence of the desert giant scorpion's venom throughout its life. It is an animal venom, ineffective against plants! Highly toxic and fast-acting; just one drop is enough to kill silently! Extremely poisonous, use with caution!]
After reading the description, Luo Xinglan felt relieved. It turned out to be a toxic essence, so it must be quite toxic.
She directly uncorked the bottle and poured it into the lake. Of course, she poured one bottle first to test the effect. If one bottle of scorpion venom was effective, wouldn't it be a waste to pour in all 10 bottles?
After pouring out the scorpion venom, she stared at the lake surface where she had just been.
Three seconds later, one after another, crocodiles floating belly-up, foaming at the mouth, emerged from the large area near the shore. Clearly, they had been poisoned to death.
Luo Xinglan was pleasantly surprised; the scorpion venom was working incredibly fast!
However, this one bottle only poisoned the area near the shore; the rest of the area hasn't been affected yet. We'll need a few more bottles.
Luo Xinglan opened two more bottles and threw them into the center of the lake and behind the lake, respectively.
Three seconds later, one after another, belly-up crocodiles floated to the surface of the water, and soon the entire lake was covered with crocodile carcasses!
Soon, the body also disappeared.
Luo Xinglan felt a chill run down her spine. How could such a small lake have so many crocodiles!
Just in case there were still crocodiles that weren't quite dead, she waited patiently for a while longer. Once she was sure there were no more survivors, she said to the little divine bird, "Little divine bird, go check the situation in the middle of the pavilion. Remember, don't touch the lake water."
Although most of the scorpion venom has been ingested by the crocodile, there is no guarantee that a small amount may remain, which is still dangerous.
The little divine bird nodded, flapped its wings, and flew towards the center of the lake.
Luo Xinglan stared intently at it.
The little divine bird quickly flew to the center of the lake and landed on the stone table in the pavilion.
It seemed to have picked up something and flew back to the shore.
Once it landed on Luo Xinglan's shoulder, it spat out what it was holding in its mouth.
It was a bead that emitted a faint glow, only the size of a quail egg, and looked quite ordinary except for its light.
[Defense Bead: A magical bead that protects all items within its protective radius from human-caused and natural disasters. The protective radius is 1 kilometer in diameter.]
Who would have thought that this bead could not only withstand human attacks, but also resist natural disasters?
Although her home has temperature-regulating beads that can adjust the temperature to a suitable level all year round, she is still afraid of natural disasters such as typhoons and hail.
With this defensive bead, her home was truly "impregnable".
Luo Xinglan put the defensive bead into her backpack.
I glanced at the time; there was less than half an hour left before the exploration time was over.
Looking at the pond full of lotus leaves, she decided to pick some lotus pods to take home. Once she planted them, she could harvest lotus roots, which would enrich her recipes.
Thinking it over, she picked some lotus pods on the shore and threw them into her backpack. Then she picked up the little mouse and the little divine bird and sped back to the sea of flowers.
Now that the protective beads are gone, those flowers can definitely be picked. Didn't we pick the lotus pods easily just now?
She took out a shovel, dug up a few flowers, and put them in her backpack.
As soon as it was thrown in, the exploration time was up. After the countdown, the scene in front of Luo Xinglan changed, and she appeared on her raft.
Your little frog is back from its journey! Go see what it brought back!
