Chapter 123: The Ice Crocodile

"This guy is old-fashioned, he used to pretend to be cold and ignore all kinds of people, but after graduation, he actually pulled so many classmates to join his mercenary group. Li Rui sat on a big tree next to the swamp, looked at the people of the Youyue Mercenary Group who were carefully exploring in the swamp, and said leisurely.

With the resources of the Li Chamber of Commerce, Li Rui does not need to go to the senior college for further study at all, and on the side of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Rui's sister is taken care of by his father, and there is no room for Li Rui to interfere. So after graduation, Li Rui simply concentrated on leading the team in the Chenguang Mercenary Regiment to do tasks. Not long ago, I don't know which noble lord fell in love with the crocodile skin of the ice giant crocodile, and issued this task in the mercenary union.

Hunting the ice giant crocodile is not difficult to say, but there is a little trouble. The elders in the regiment didn't look down on this task, so Li Rui was curious and brought a team to take a look at the situation. Unexpectedly, after spending half a day of hard work, they found a swamp that was suspected to be infested by adult ice giant crocodiles, and when they arrived, they found that they had been taken first. Li Rui was helpless and prepared to retreat first. It turned out that the other party was Parade's Dark Moon Mercenary Group, so Li Rui asked the others to go back first, and he found a place with a wide field of vision to prepare to watch the excitement.

"Commander, the scout team has spotted an assassin on the edge of the swamp, who appears to be Li Rui. Yuruo said as he swept over to Paredith's side. Sixteen-year-old Youruo has grown into a big girl, with a slender and slender figure, and her short dark blue hair makes her skin whiter and fairer.

"Li Rui? don't care. Be careful to probe and be careful to protect the mage team behind you. Patrick paused, and said in a flat tone, still concise.

"Yes. Youruo didn't say anything more, and retreated with a soft answer.

"Well, it looks like it's been discovered. Li Rui's eyesight is also good and a little perverted, and he can see the situation over there clearly from a distance of several kilometers. The communication between Yu Ruo and Paredit, and the eyes that Parid swept to this side, intentionally or unintentionally, were all in his eyes.

"Old-school guy, what do you see? I don't believe you can really see me? It's like this girl, look at this body, she has grown a lot during this time after graduation, and she is about to catch up with me. Hey, it's a bit stressful!" Li Rui didn't care about being discovered, but began to comment on his old classmates.

"Whew!" a hiss, a dark blue giant crocodile about twelve meters long and more than three meters high turned over a hundred meters in front of everyone in the Dark Moon Mercenary Group. A pair of huge gray-black eyes, vigilantly looking at the intruder in front of him.

"The mage team prepares, and the others wait for the earthen wall technique position to be set up, and then form a formation and step forward. Until then, everyone is focused on protecting the mage team. "Captain Rad.

The Ice Giant Crocodile is a high-level magical beast, very close to the existence of the Holy Order, and its most troublesome ability is to resist the invasion of demon skin and cold air. The anti-demon skin makes the Ice Giant Crocodile immune to almost all magic below the Holy Rank, and the Cold Invasion is a bit close to Leah's Ice Aura, slowing down the movement speed of the people around him to a certain extent. But the slight difference is that the cold air of the ice giant crocodile can envelop its body for fifty meters, causing all creatures within its range to freeze the moment they touch the water. This ability matches the terrain of the swamp and is almost perfect. Therefore, if you want to deal with the ice giant crocodile, solving this problem has become the key.

For this reason, Pared specially hired seven or eight earth mages and the mages in the group to form a temporary special mage team. After two days of training, in order to be able to provide a foothold for the Dark Moon Mercenary Group with the Earth Wall Technique in the battle with the Ice Giant Crocodile, so as to avoid being frozen in contact with the water in the swamp. The cost of this alone was more than the commission income for this mission, but it was clear that Pyrrhid wasn't here for the commission. The early goal of the Dark Moon Mercenary Group is not to care about gains and losses, work hard to hone themselves, and try to improve their strength.

"Youruo. After issuing the order, Pared called Yuruo to his side and whispered a few words, and Yuruo quietly left the group and dived into the depths of the swamp.

"It seems that the old school guy has also noticed that something is wrong. Seeing this scene, Li Rui outside the swamp chuckled and said.

The performance of the ice giant crocodile is indeed very abnormal, as a creature that lives on the swamp all year round, hiding in the dark, quietly approaching, waiting for an opportunity to attack, is its normal way of attacking. Now, when the other party has a large number of people, it is obviously an extremely abnormal move to take the initiative to expose yourself in front of the other party. As a high-level magical beast, the Ice Giant Crocodile has a considerable degree of intelligence, and it is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake. Then there must be other factors that make it necessary to behave this way.

Thinking about this, Li Rui raised his eyebrows and jumped down from the tree, he also decided to go to the depths of the swamp to see what was going on.

At this time, the battle between the Dark Moon Mercenary Group and the Ice Giant Crocodile also began. The team of magicians was very efficient, and the earthen wall spell was cast very quickly, and in a short time, it was all around the Ice Giant Crocodile.

"Roar!" the ice giant crocodile twisted his body a little uneasily as he watched the small mounds suddenly appear around him. However, it did not choose to retreat, but instead roared at the people of the Dark Moon Mercenary Regiment.

"Alright, the mage team will keep their distance, and they will repair the damaged earthen wall in time. The others, leaving a small team to protect the mage team, and the others went up to attack in turn according to the drill they had practiced a few days ago. Pared calmly commanded the battle.

The mercenaries of the Dark Moon Mercenary Regiment, after receiving the order, quickly started to act. Seeing this, the ice giant crocodile did not dodge, and launched an angry attack. For a while, the cold air was fierce, and the sky above the swamp began to be shrouded in fog.

The mercenaries' attacks were orderly, unaffected by the Ice Crocodile's onslaught. They are divided into two groups, the first to attack, and the second to pick up their companions who are knocked out of the air or stumbled, so that they are not overboard and frozen. After a few waves of attacks, rotate with each other and switch roles.

The cooperation between the mercenaries is also very tacit, responsible for defense, guarding without leakage, and resolving all the pounces, bites, and tail flicks of the ice crocodile. The mercenary in charge of the attack is also a needle, and while attacking the ice giant crocodile, try to avoid being swept by the counterattack, and at the same time do not interfere with the actions of his companions.

This side is attacking unhurriedly, and Yuruo, who has dived into the depths of the swamp, has also discovered the reason for the abnormal behavior of the ice giant crocodile. It turned out that there were two ice crocodiles in this swamp. An ice crocodile, a little larger than the previous one, was now crawling in the depths of the swamp, seemingly laying eggs.

"No wonder the ice crocodile appeared like that, it turned out to be taking on the responsibility of a father. Youruo sighed softly and leaned forward a little more, wanting to see more clearly. After all, there is still some distance from the range of the cold air.

Youruo came to a stop two hundred meters away from the Ice Giant Crocodile, ready to take a closer look at the situation. Suddenly, the ice giant crocodile that was laying eggs opened its mouth at Youruo, and a white beam of cold light shot towards Youruo. This sudden change made Yu Ruo unable to react, and he was instantly frozen in place.

", ice breath, this is a Saint-Order Giant Crocodile. Li Rui, who was following behind, couldn't help but burst into foul language when he saw this scene. He glanced at the frozen Youruo, restrained his breath, and took advantage of the moment when the Saint-level giant crocodile was ventilated, and rushed over, picking up the frozen Youruo and running out.

The Ice Giant Crocodile raised his eyes and glanced at Li Rui, but did not attack. However, Li Rui didn't dare to pause in the slightest, the might of the Holy Rank Demonic Beast was not something he could fight against now.

After running for a long distance, Li Rui suddenly felt that the touch in his hand was wrong. When he turned his head to look, he found that Youruo had already thawed, lying on Li Rui's shoulder, his face flushed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't think much of the crisis just now. Li Rui hurriedly put Youruo down and said.

"It's okay, I still have to thank you for rescuing me. Youruo's personality was originally a bit introverted, and at this time, her voice was so low that she could barely hear it.

"Don't thank me, I just happened to run into it. By the way, you thawed so quickly, there is nothing abnormal in your body, right? Are there any dark wounds left? I didn't expect it to be a Saint-level ice giant crocodile. With Li Rui's character, this kind of thing made him embarrassed for a moment, and then asked a series of questions.

"I'm fine, maybe because it's laying eggs and it's weak, so the cold isn't very strong. So it didn't take long for you to take it out, and it was thawed. Yuruo replied with her head down.

"Okay, what now? You can act, shouldn't you go and give the old school a notice first? Do you want me to accompany you?" Li Rui threw out a series of questions.

"Oh, yes, I do have to report to the head of the regiment first. Thank you, I can do it myself. Youruo's mind was in chaos at this time, and he reacted when he heard Li Rui's question.

"That old-school guy actually asked you to call him the head of the regiment? Li Rui complained.

"No, it's a decision shared by all of us. After all, as a mercenary group, rules are very important. Youruo explained.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Let's go, I'll go with you to meet the old school. I'm still a little worried about your current state, and I'm just taking this opportunity to meet my old classmates. Li Rui said.

"Thank you. Youruo said softly, and led the way in front towards the battlefield of the Youyue Mercenary Group and the Ice Giant Crocodile, with Li Rui following closely behind.

By the time the two of them arrived, the battle was almost over. The ice giant crocodile seemed to have little strength to resist, after all, most of the members of the Dark Moon Mercenary Group were high-level or above, and most of them were familiar classmates, so they had cooperated a lot before. Although the Ice Giant Crocodile is a relatively strong existence among high-level demonic beasts, it also occupies a geographical advantage. But with the mercenaries' reasonable tactics and skillful cooperation, it is still difficult to hold out for long.
