Chapter 0038: The Swamp Giant Crocodile King
The next day, Grim had the good fortune to meet two foul-smelling "green gnomes" in the tower. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
These were obviously the two unlucky ones who had been attacked by the Sludge Monsters, and even more unlucky enough to trigger the Shrinkage Curse, so they became what they were looking like. However, before Grim could carefully inquire about the reason, the two "green gnomes" noticed Grim's arrival, and stood in the distance and glared at him with gritted teeth.
Faced with their glaring eyes, Grim was completely unaware of the situation, so he could only submit the item transaction information to Danny as soon as possible, and then turned around and left.
Danny is also one of the most popular panacea among wizard apprentices, and has set up an underground market by selling demand information. Grim came this time to send out information about the sale of swamp monitor lizard eggs and magic iron ore, and if there were interested apprentices, they would naturally come to him for barter. And he also took the opportunity to buy a few more practical small items from Danny.
Today's swamp towers are undoubtedly much more lively and noisy than they used to be. Most of the apprentice wizards no longer live in their own homes, but choose to come out and exchange the latest information with their "friends". Master Anderson's high-profile coercive mission has turned the lives of the Tower Apprentices upside down.
All the apprentices were forced to interrupt their research projects, enthusiastically and anxiously following the progress of the situation.
After all, there are only a few apprentices who were able to choose their tasks at the first time yesterday, and many more are still waiting and hesitating. It can be seen that the release of this mission was launched by the Wizards Association of Scattered Tallinn, which also means that they will form a temporary team with wizard apprentices from the entire Scattered Tallinn region when doing the mission, and become teammates who fight side by side.
This had never happened before, so it brought a sense of freshness to the Tower Apprentices, as well as an infinite amount of trepidation and unease.
Grim walked slowly through the chattering apprentices in the public hall on the second floor. When the wizard apprentices who got together in twos and threes saw him, they couldn't help but shut up, with a hint of repulsion in their eyes. Even a few "lone wolf" apprentices who were usually able to speak avoided him from afar, with complicated expressions on their faces.
Like a lone wolf rejected by wolves, Grim walked slowly in the grass, but could not find a partner willing to accept him. He pulled up his hood, hid himself, and turned to leave the hall.
The only ones who can make everyone stay away from him are the three strong people, and that Eren is not qualified at all.
Grim had no intention of finding out why the three powerhouses were hostile to him, and it was probably related to Mary in Red anyway. His only concern now was how to build up his strength in the short term, so that he could survive that terrible reconnaissance mission.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was looking, Grim slipped out of the wizarding tower again.
When he reappeared near the Silt Swamp, Grim finally sensed the desolation.
Originally, no matter how fishy and desolate this place was, in the spiritual perception, you could always find groups of ghost women hiding on the edge of the swamp waiting for their prey. However, standing on the edge of the waterhole today, Grim scanned countless times, but did not notice a few red dots representing the ghost woman.
There are four or five stinky pools in the field of vision, and according to past habits, each of them will be inhabited by a group of ghost women. There are more than twenty or thirty, and as few as seven or eight, which can always show a prosperous appearance.
It's a pity that after a big war, the ghost woman group with the largest core quagmire has suffered a heavy blow, and even the ghost woman group with these marginal areas is almost wiped out, and it looks so miserable.
But that's fine, save yourself a lot more effort.
Grim came out today to kill demons, so he urgently needed a vast battlefield. Even if those ghost women had not been lost in Alice's hands, they would not have escaped his slaughter today.
After patrolling around again, trampling on all the surrounding terrain and letting the chip enter all the terrain information into his brain, Grim took out the dirt golem again.
After more than ten hours of recovery, the four energy nodes on the summoning crystal nucleus were all filled with earth elemental energy, which was the best time to summon the earth golem.
Grim threw the summoning crystal nucleus to the edge of the quagmire, and as soon as the crystal nucleus came into contact with the earth and water vapor, a large cloud of earthy yellow smoke and dust immediately rose up. These weren't really gaseous smoke, but overly dense particles of earth.
The earth elementals were rapidly converging, and driven by an inexplicable consciousness, the damp earth began to rise and twist, and soon coalesced into a humanoid clay puppet of his height in front of Grim's eyes.
It's a pity that this is not a stone puppet or an iron puppet, otherwise the defense power must be increased tenfold, and maybe it will be able to compete head-on with the crocodile king in the scheme. The dirt golem is cheap, but its defense is no more than that of a human warrior in full leather armor, and it is really difficult to resist the swamp crocodile's astonishingly sharp fangs and powerful long-tail flick.
However, the swamp giant crocodile is not without its weaknesses, otherwise with the strength of the crocodile king comparable to that of a high-level apprentice, Grim would only go to trouble it if he is crazy.
…………
It was the early morning of the day, and the silt swamp was still quiet.
Less than half a mile away from the stinky pool where the ghost wives live is the vast swamp where the swamp giant crocodile lives. Here, the terrifying giant crocodiles lie on their stomachs in the grass on the shore, still sleeping soundly.
But just as they were enjoying their easy lives, there was a loud thud, and a crooked figure landed headlong into the swamp on which they lived.
Look at the unkempt and mossy hair, look at the black and dirty hands and claws, look at the bony but still lean and powerful body...... It turned out to be their neighbor, the ghost woman.
As the indigenous creatures of the Enchanted Swamp, all the powerful monsters have their own fixed territory and territory, and they are clearly distinguished, and each other's well water does not interfere with the river water. But today, this filthy ghost woman dared to invade the territory of their swamp giant crocodile, which couldn't help but make the giant crocodiles who had been awakened from their sweet dreams furious and furious.
Without saying a word, seven or eight giant crocodiles pounced out of the grass and sank into the swamp and disappeared, only to see the waterlines on the water surface quickly extending towards the place where the ghost woman fell.
The ghost woman who fell into the water didn't know why, but her hands and feet were broken, and she had a strong body but it was difficult to save herself. Soon, he was bitten by a terrifying mouth that broke through the water, and he sank to the bottom of the water again. More giant crocodile bodies appeared nearby, splashing in all directions, mud and waves rolling, and the thugs who saw the blood tore the body of the desperately struggling ghost woman even more frantically.
A giant crocodile that was much larger than a normal swamp crocodile appeared on the shore.
Instead of snatching the outsider that rushed into their territory like the other giant crocodiles, it half-propped itself up like a true king, slowly scanning the movement around the swamp.
Those ghost women also have their own leaders, and it is impossible for them to suddenly break into their territory for no reason. Could it be that Simba wants to provoke a war between monsters again?
As the leader of the monsters of special evolution, this swamp giant crocodile king obviously has initial wisdom, and has been able to think rationally about some simple questions.
However, just as it was puzzled, another ghost woman with a howling wind and a strange arc into the depths of the swamp. The giant crocodiles, who had just torn an intruder to shreds, immediately pounced on the new prey in droves.
Only the swamp giant crocodile king who had not moved on the shore could see clearly, and the new ghost woman had been thrown into it, 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, thick limbs and staggered towards the ghost tree. In order not to alarm the "enemy", it also specially bypassed the water marsh, hid in the dense wild grass waist-deep, and tiptoed towards the target.
Obviously a behemoth, but he insisted on pretending to be a wilderness assassin, Grim hid in the distance on another ghost tree, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Monsters are monsters, although they can also evolve some wisdom, but this low-level wisdom is simply childish and ridiculous compared to the profound wisdom that humans have tempered and honed.
The huge body of the swamp giant crocodile king is more than 2 meters tall even if it is completely prostrate on the ground, and the wild grass is vigorous and dense, but it can only cover its limbs and belly. Its massive body covered with tough scales and towering spines on its back were unobscured from afar. In this case, it also has a posture of "you can't see me, you can't see me", this IQ is really high and it makes people cry!
What's even more infuriating is that its heavy body weighs twenty or thirty tons, and the ground trembles slightly when it walks. But it still put on a tiptoeing "sneak attack" posture, as if it didn't know how earth-shattering it was everywhere.
Successfully bypassing a series of obstacles, the swamp giant crocodile king finally spotted a suspicious figure behind the ghost tree.
This is an abominable human in the robes of an apprentice, and there are two or three incapacitated ghost women beside him, who are constantly being thrown into the distant swamps by "him". Under the teasing of "him", the originally quiet and peaceful swamp area has become a lively vegetable market, and the swamp is full of terrifying figures of giant crocodiles biting and grabbing food.
The Swamp Giant Crocodile King glared angrily at the hateful apprentice, and in order not to give the other party a chance to escape, it continued to approach the other party patiently little by little.
100 m ......
70 m ......
50 m ......
20 m ......
Today is a really good day full of luck.
It was almost crawling behind the hateful apprentice, and "he" didn't notice any anomalies behind him.
The Swamp Giant Crocodile King praised himself comfortably as he prostrated himself and began to make final preparations for the next moment of earth-shattering blow.
Die, human, and I'll get a taste of a wizard's apprentice today!
Woo......
With a ferocious wind, the swamp giant crocodile king pounced on the other party.
