Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 83 - 82: Bronze Giant Crocodile

Chapter 83: Chapter 82: Bronze Giant Crocodile

Qin Feng’s expression subtly changed, and he halted his steps, executing the Smell Wind Skill. He reached into the air, grasped a breeze, and brought it to his nose for a gentle sniff.

Last year, when he was still with his family, Elder Five had asked his father to go to the Spirit Fruit Garden to look for the Swallowing Sky Toad that was stealing Spirit Fruits. At that time, his father had also used the Smell Wind Skill, leaving Qin Feng envious.

Now that he had joined the Beast Taming Sect, he naturally had learned such spell for distinguishing scents.

He quickly identified the source of the fragrance from the wind and looked towards the front left.

There, in a body of water some dozens of meters away, grew a tricolored exotic flower, the source of the faint, ethereal fragrance.

Qin Feng didn’t know the name of this exotic flower. After all, he hadn’t been cultivating for long, and all his energy this past year had been dedicated to learning as much as possible about Spiritual Beasts and Demon Beasts. If a Demon Beast appeared before him, even if unrecognizable, he could make a rough analysis based on its appearance.

...

However, his knowledge of various exotic flowers, spiritual fruits, and spiritual medicines was very lacking. Not recognizing this flower was normal.

But not recognizing it didn’t matter as long as he knew it was something valuable.

Qin Feng joyfully walked towards the water.

He planned to pick the bizarre flower.

Merely from the fragrance and spiritual energy it emitted, he knew this flower must be a Spiritual Medicine beneficial for cultivation. Although he didn’t know its specific value, with such abundant spiritual energy that just a whiff of its fragrance revitalized him, it would at least sell for dozens of Spirit Stones.

Indeed, only a venture outside for exploration offered such opportunities. In the sect, he couldn’t even dream of earning dozens of Spirit Stones all at once; even earning just a few required him taking care of a Cold Ice Python for a month.

However, he didn’t rush headlong to pluck the treasure he saw.

This place was the Mist Swamp, teeming with Poison Insects and rampaging Demon Beasts, not the controlled environment of the Beast Taming Sect Mountain Gate, forcing him to be more cautious.

With the exotic fragrance that the tricolored flower emitted, he couldn’t be the only one to have smelled it; surely other Demon Beasts also sensed it.

Yet to this moment, the flower was still intact in the water, indicating that it must be guarded by a Demon Beast.

Moreover, this Beast was not only powerful but also quite clever to not consume the exotic flower to enhance its cultivation, but instead use its scent to lure other Demon Beasts.

It surely sought to take this opportunity to devour these other Demon Beasts, perhaps having already attacked more than one.

Qin Feng cautiously tiptoed through the underbrush to a spot ten yards away from the water and stopped, no longer advancing.

He carefully examined his surroundings; no Demon Beast was lurking in the bushes.

In fact, there wasn’t even a single Poison Insect in the bushes around him, plunging the area into eerie silence.

Qin Feng squinted toward the murky waters ahead.

The water was turbid, obscuring his view of what lay beneath.

Qin Feng thought for a moment, then chuckled softly, refraining from projecting his Divine Sense to avoid alarming the Beast hiding beneath. Instead, he gently patted the Swallowing Sky Toad in his hand, conveying his intentions.

Then, the Swallowing Sky Toad abruptly opened its mouth, and its tongue, quick as lightning, lashed out towards the exotic flower in the water.

With the strength of its tongue, it would easily secure the flower.

However, just as the Swallowing Sky Toad was about to succeed, a stream of water suddenly shot up from under the water, making a splash and blocking in front of the exotic flower.

Although the Swallowing Sky Toad’s tongue was like a spear and still pierced through the stream, its strength was drained after piercing the water, and it dared not continue to reach for the exotic flower. It quickly retracted its tongue.

With a loud bang, the surface of the water exploded, raising a splash more than ten feet high.

Immediately afterward, a massive creature emerged from the water, opening its fanged maw aimed at Qin Feng.

This Demon Beast had clearly realized that it could not wait for its prey anymore, so it decided to take the initiative. Its body, several meters long, shot forward like an arrow released from its string with fierce wind, pouncing toward him.

Qin Feng, who had been on guard, lightly stepped on the ground and retreated several meters, dodging the Demon Beast’s attack.

Once he stabilized himself, he took a proper look and realized it was a Bronze Giant Crocodile with a body covered in bronze-colored scales.

The Giant Crocodile, more than ten meters long, had its gaping jaw filled with uneven and sharp fangs. Qin Feng was certain that if he hadn’t dodged the crocodile’s pounce, he would have been bitten in half by it.

However, no matter how ferocious and cunning this Giant Crocodile was, it was still just a low-level Demon Beast. It could not possibly compare to the intelligence of the Human Clan. Since Qin Feng had already seen through its intent to conceal itself under the water, it certainly couldn’t ambush him.

The bronze-colored eyes of the Bronze Giant Crocodile glinted with cruelty. Just as it was about to pounce again and topple the bipedal creature for a sumptuous feast, a sudden croaking sound interrupted.

Then, Qin Feng saw a small toad in his hand open its mouth, and immediately several sharp Cold Ice Arrows shot toward the crocodile.

The Giant Crocodile shook its head to avoid the vital points on its skull, and with several thudding sounds, the Cold Ice Arrows hit its thick scales.

Although these Cold Ice Arrows caused it a heart-piercing pain, apart from intensifying the savage nature in its heart, they did not cause any substantial injury.

The Bronze Giant Crocodile was naturally a rugged and heavily-defended Demon Beast, its scales incredibly tough. The Swallowing Sky Toad, having recently merged with the bloodline of a Green Water Cold Toad, did not have sufficient cold energy to pierce through the scales of the Bronze Giant Crocodile with the Cold Ice Arrows.

However, the piercing pain on its body still angered the Bronze Giant Crocodile. It opened its massive mouth and emitted a deep and strange sound.

Giant Crocodiles do not have vocal cords and usually don’t make any noises, but when they are angered, they will vibrate their throats to produce a sound indicative of their anger.

Qin Feng did not expect this Giant Crocodile’s defense to be so strong, its aura clearly having reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. No wonder it hadn’t devoured that exotic flower. It had intended to use the exotic flower to lure other Demon Beasts to be devoured, in order to advance to Foundation Establishment.

Actually, each time the Sect conducted a trial for new disciples, some unexpected situations would arise.

The biggest of these accidents was the appearance of Demon Beasts that far surpassed what the disciples could handle, even though the trial sites had been cleared by Sect disciples in advance. Such incidents still occasionally occurred.

Just like the Bronze Giant Crocodile in front of Qin Feng, which might break through the Qi Refining Realm at any moment. If it devoured a few more Demon Beasts and its inner aura became extremely potent, it would advance to Foundation Establishment, potentially causing significant harm to the new disciples.

Even though this Giant Crocodile had not yet advanced, it was already at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, its bronze scales providing formidable defense, making it difficult to kill.

Normally, these vicious Demon Beasts were not something ordinary disciples could contend with.

However, Qin Feng was not an ordinary disciple, and the Swallowing Sky Toad was not an ordinary Spiritual Beast either.

Although the Swallowing Sky Toad’s current strength was low and it had not yet reached the point where it could display the full capabilities of a Space Element Spiritual Beast, the Bronze Giant Crocodile also lacked the strength to devour it.

But with its small current physique, it definitely could not withstand a head-on collision with the Bronze Giant Crocodile.

Qin Feng’s eyes moved around. It seemed, other methods were necessary to deal with this Bronze Giant Crocodile.
