Age of Adepts

Chapter 39: Swamp King Crocodile

Views:

The next day, Greem was lucky enough to meet two foul-smelling "green gnomes" in the tower.

These are obviously two unlucky people who were attacked by the silt monster, and even more unlucky, they triggered the curse of shrinking, so they became what they are now. But before Greem was allowed to carefully inquire about the reason, the two "green gnomes" noticed Greem's arrival, stood in the distance and stared at him with gritted teeth.

Faced with their glaring looks, Greem was completely confused about the situation, so he could only submit the item transaction information to Danny as soon as possible, then turned around and left.

Danny can be regarded as the most popular panacea among the wizard apprentices, and he has established an underground market by selling demand information. Greem came this time to send out information about the sale of swamp monitor lizard eggs and magic iron ore. If any interested apprentices would naturally come to him for barter. And he also took the opportunity to buy a few more practical gadgets from Danny at a high level.

Today's swamp tower is undoubtedly much more lively and noisy than before. Most apprentice wizards no longer stay in their own residences, but choose to come out and exchange the latest information with their familiar "friends". The high-profile mandatory mission that Mr. Anderson the wizard has launched is like a blockbuster, which has turned the life of the apprentices in the tower upside down.

All the apprentices were forced to suspend their research projects, and followed the progress of the situation enthusiastically and anxiously.

After all, there were only a handful of apprentices who were able to choose their own tasks immediately yesterday, and more apprentices were still waiting and hesitating. It can be seen that the release of this mission was launched by the Sandalin Wizards Association, which also means that they will form a temporary team with the wizard apprentices in the entire Sandalinn area when doing the mission, and become teammates fighting side by side.

This kind of situation has never happened before, so while bringing freshness to the apprentices of the tower, it also brings infinite fear and uneasiness.

Greem walked slowly through the chattering apprentices in the public hall on the second floor. When those apprentice wizards who gathered in twos and threes saw him, they couldn't help but shut up, with a hint of rejection in their eyes. Even the few "lone wolf" apprentices who were able to talk usually avoided him far away, with complicated expressions on their faces.

Greem was like a lone wolf rejected by a pack of wolves, walking slowly in the grass, but he couldn't find a partner who was willing to accept him. He pulled up his hood to hide his face, turned and left the hall.

There are only the top three who can make everyone respect him, and that Allen is not qualified at all.

Greem didn't want to find out why the three powerhouses showed hostility towards him. Anyway, it was probably related to the red Mary. The only thing he cares about now is how to strengthen his own strength in a short period of time so that he can survive that terrible investigation mission.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Greem slipped out of the wizard tower again.

When it appeared near the silt swamp again, Greem finally sensed the desolation here.

No matter how smelly and desolate this place is, you can always find groups of hags hiding at the edge of the swamp waiting for their prey in your spiritual perception. However, standing on the edge of the pool today, Greem scanned it countless times, but did not find any red dots representing hags.

There are four or five large stinky pools within the field of vision. According to past habits, each pool will be inhabited by a group of hags. There are as many as twenty or thirty, and as few as seven or eight, and they can always show a prosperous appearance.

It's a pity that after a great battle, the largest group of hags in the core quagmire suffered heavy losses, and even the hag groups in these marginal areas were almost wiped out. It looked so miserable.

But this is also good, to save yourself a lot of trouble.

Greem came out today to slay demons and demons, so he desperately needed a vast battlefield. Even if those hags hadn't been lost in Alice's hands, they still couldn't escape his slaughter today.

After patrolling around again, trampling on all the surrounding terrain, and letting the chip record the terrain information into the brain, Greem took out the clay golem again.

After more than ten hours of recovery, the four energy nodes on the summoning crystal nucleus have been fully stored with earth element energy, which is the best time to summon the earth golem.

Greem threw the summoning crystal nucleus to the edge of the quagmire. As soon as the crystal nucleus touched the soil and water vapor, large groups of khaki smoke and dust rose immediately. These are not real gaseous smog, but too dense particles of earth elements.

The earth elements were gathering rapidly, driven by an inexplicable consciousness, the damp soil began to rise and twist, and soon condensed into a humanoid clay puppet that was about the same height as Greem.

It's a pity that this is not a stone puppet or an iron puppet, otherwise the defense power must have been increased by ten times, and it might be able to compete head-on with the crocodile king who is planning. you get what you pay for! The mud golem was cheap and high quality, but its defensive power was only comparable to that of a human warrior wearing a full set of leather armor. It was really difficult to resist the sharp fangs and powerful long tail swipe of the swamp giant crocodile.

However, the swamp giant crocodile was not without its weaknesses. Otherwise, with the Crocodile King's strength comparable to that of senior apprentices, Greem would only trouble him if he was crazy.

...

It was the early morning of the day, and the silt swamp was still peaceful.

Less than half a mile away from the stinky pool where the hags live is the vast swamp where the swamp giant crocodile lives. Here, terrifying giant crocodiles in twos and threes are crouching in the grass on the bank, as if sleeping soundly.

But just when they were enjoying their relaxed and comfortable life, there was a loud splash, and a crooked figure was loaded into the swamp on which they lived.

Look at the disheveled and moss-covered hair, look at the black and dirty claws, look at the skinny but still strong and powerful body... it turned out to be their neighbor, the hag.

As the native creatures of the magic swamp, all powerful monsters have their own fixed sites and territories, and they are clearly separated, and they do not interfere with each other. But today, this smelly and filthy hag dared to invade the territory of their swamp giant crocodile, which made the giant crocodiles who woke up from their dreams angry and violent.

Without saying a word, seven or eight giant crocodiles jumped out of the grass, sank into the swamp and disappeared, only water lines on the water surface quickly extended towards the place where the hag fell into the water.

For some reason, the hag who fell into the water had her arms and legs broken, and Kong Zi had a strong body but couldn't save herself. Soon, the upper body was bitten fiercely by a terrifying big mouth that came out of the water, and sank to the bottom of the water again. More giant crocodile bodies appeared nearby, splashing water and rolling mud waves, and the thugs who saw the blood frantically tore up the struggling hag's body.

A giant crocodile that is much larger than ordinary swamp giant crocodiles appeared on the shore.

It didn't snatch the outsider who rushed into their territory like other giant crocodiles, but half propped up its body like a real king, and slowly scanned the movements around the swamp.

Those hags also have their own leaders, and it is impossible to suddenly break into their territory for no reason. Could it be that Simba wants to start a war between monsters again

As a specially evolved monster leader, this swamp giant crocodile king obviously has preliminary wisdom, and he is already able to think about some simple problems rationally.

However, just when it was puzzled, another hag with a howling wind drew a strange arc and tuned into the depths of the swamp. The giant crocodiles who had just torn an intruder into pieces and felt unsatisfied heard the sound, and immediately pounced on the new prey in groups.

Only the swamp giant crocodile king standing still on the bank could clearly see that this new hag was obviously thrown in by someone, and the person who threw it was hiding behind a ghost tree not far from the swamp.

The swamp giant crocodile king immediately moved his short and thick limbs, and swayed towards the ghost tree. In order not to alarm the "enemy", it also bypassed the swamp, hid in the waist-deep thick grass, and tiptoed towards the target.

It was obviously a giant, but insisted on pretending to be a wilderness assassin. Greem hid on another ghost tree in the distance, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Monsters are monsters. Although they can evolve some wisdom, this kind of low-level wisdom is childish and ridiculous compared to the high-level wisdom honed by human beings.

The huge body of the swamp giant crocodile king is more than 2 meters high even if it is completely prostrate on the ground. Even if the wild grass is flourishing and dense, it can barely cover its limbs and belly. And its huge body covered with tough scales and the tall spines on its back can't be concealed at all, and it is undoubtedly obvious from a distance. In this case, it still has a posture of "you can't see me, you can't see me". This IQ is really high and makes people cry!

What's even more exasperating is that its heavy body weighs twenty or thirty tons, and the ground trembles slightly when it walks. But it still put on a tiptoe "sneak attack" posture, as if it didn't know how earth-shattering it was.

After successfully bypassing a series of obstacles, the swamp giant crocodile finally found a suspicious figure behind the ghost tree.

This is a hateful human being wearing an apprentice's robe, and beside "him", there are two or three hags who have lost their ability to move, and they are being thrown into the distant water by "him". Under the teasing of "him", the originally quiet and peaceful swamp area became a bustling vegetable market, and there were terrifying figures of giant crocodiles biting and grabbing food everywhere on the swamp.

The swamp giant crocodile stared angrily at this nasty apprentice, in order not to give him a chance to escape, it continued to approach him little by little patiently.

100 metres…

70 meters…

50 meters…

20 meters…

Today is really a good day full of luck.

It was almost crawling behind that nasty apprentice, and "he" didn't even notice the abnormality behind him.

The swamp giant crocodile king praised himself contentedly, while crawling down his body, and began to make the final preparations for the next moment's earth-shattering blow.

Go to hell, human! Today I can get a taste of the wizard's apprentice!

Woo...

With a ferocious wind, the swamp giant crocodile rushed towards him.
