Chapter Seventy-One: Evil Spirits, Old Crocodile
There were no large monsters and demons in the river that crossed the ruins of City 014, only a group of second-order or so piranhas and a few third-order hook snakes.
And this group of guys obviously has no interest in Tatsuno.
They were hiding under the water, and they originally planned to sneak attack, but after seeing Long Ye casually cut a third-order red-eyed pig demon by the river in half, they waited quietly and watched this plague god go away.

Tatsuno stepped on the road in the southern half of the city ruins of No. 014.
The ruins in the southern half of the city are much more damaged than in the northern part because of the presence of the bone-eating insect swarm.
Like marching ants, they like to gnaw on all hard objects, both living and dead.
When attacking, they will spew a highly corrosive liquid from their mouthparts, which is extremely permeable and can penetrate the epidermis of living organisms and directly corrode the skeleton, so they are called bone eaters.
The leader of the Bone Eater Swarm is similar to an ant queen, hiding deep underground, controlling the entire swarm with pheromones, and once it moves, it is in the thousands, like a tide.
In the face of the insect swarm led by the fourth-order bone eater queen, even the fifth-order great grandmaster had to retreat.
Of course, they have a fatal heel.
- Afraid of water!
The bone-eating insect colony is extremely averse to water, and will not actively touch even a drop of water except in extreme cases.
Tatsuno looked around to make sure there was no danger, and walked forward.
He didn't suppress his breath in order to reduce unnecessary trouble.
A third-order martial artist is enough to force back some second-order demonic demon beasts.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Tatsuno was on the top of a ruin more than ten meters high, and saw a white mountain between the ruins a few kilometers away.
The mountain resembles a volcano, with a flat top and a large hole, about 100 meters high. The slope is not steep, and the slopes are densely covered with ditches like flowing water.
"The nest of the bone-eating insect swarm......" Tatsuno muttered.
Those who don't know about the bone-eating insects may not know that the entire white mountain is made up of bone-eating insects!
Bone eaters can self-dormant, and in a dormant state, the hardness of their bodies will increase by a notch, which will play a role in protecting the queen of insects.
When the swarm is in danger of being destroyed, they will collectively awaken and turn into countless bone eaters, drowning their enemies.
"Sooner or later, this thing has to be removed, otherwise it will never be safe to put it around." Tatsuno glanced at the white mountain again, and then quickly bypassed and ran out of the city.
He planned to start from the ruins of City 014, draw a circle, walk more than ten kilometers from west to east, and then return north to the vicinity of City 014, then continue north, return to the waterfall stronghold, and finally return to the city ruins of 014 from the waterfall stronghold.
Crossing a road that had been cut off at the waist, Tatsuno re-entered the dense forest.
He casually picked up the bayonet at his waist and burrowed into the woods with a cold look in his eyes.
......
Night.
Tatsuno lit a bonfire and skinned an antelope he had killed, entrailed it, and roasted it on the fire.
He sat cross-legged, his fingers tapping, and he estimated the Lingqi he had gotten today.
"I hunted two second-order demon beasts and three second-order demons today, and the Lingqi I got can probably improve me by a small fifth." Long Ye couldn't help muttering, "This divine soul's ability to 'seize' is too barbaric, and it is also my lack of murderous intent, if I let a person with a murderous heart get this ability, this radius of a hundred miles will be full of blood." ”
Thankfully, you won't get Lingqi by killing people, and this method of seizure seems to only work for monsters and demons.
Long Ye used the Eight or Nine Xuan Gong to absorb the Lingqi stored in the divine soul.
When I opened my eyes, the antelope was already roasted to a crispy skin, and the oil was bubbling out, and the fragrance was fragrant.
Tatsuno was full of words, broke off the antelope leg and gnawed it.
Although a cultivator can go without eating for a long time, if he really wants to eat, the amount of food is very large, and the digestion speed is also fast.
Half an hour later, Long Ye alone reimbursed the twenty-pound little antelope.
He touched his round belly, burped, and then took out the kettle from the spatial ring and drank it.
A good night's sleep.
Early in the morning, listening to the murmuring of the river in the distance and the chirping of birds, Tatsuno woke up.
He snuffed out the bonfire that had not been completely extinguished the previous night, picked up the bayonet he hung, and continued on his way.
Five days later.
The old crocodile at the peak of the third order has been very confused recently.
Why is this little animal drinking by the river gone?
It was at the critical juncture of a breakthrough, and it had to eat more than a dozen demon beasts a day, but in the past few days, it had not seen any demon beasts of a certain level to drink.
Except for the young beasts that are still in the first order, the size of a palm, it is not interested.
Could it be that the same kind is snatching?
No, due to the scarcity of resources, crocodiles above the third order will break away from the group and become solitary creatures, and there is no similar kind in the vicinity.
The old crocodile couldn't figure it out, so he had to honestly continue to squat, hoping that there would be a thirsty creature that couldn't do it to drink.
The weather has been nice these days, and the sun is hanging high.
In the afternoon, the old crocodile was drowsy, but suddenly, it was keenly aware of the abnormal fluctuations in the river.
Excitement pounded the brain, and the old crocodile surfaced.
Sure enough, on the bank of the river, an erect ape dressed in black was bending down to fetch water.
He is very strong, with strong muscles and well-defined lines that show his arms, and he looks very appetizing.
The old crocodile dived into the water and silently swam towards the riverbank.
It saw that the erectus stood up, hung the kettle around his waist, and then took out a handful of something bright and washed it, and yawned in a very leisurely manner.
The old crocodile had never seen such an arrogant fellow, and the other creatures in the vicinity were all very vigilant when they drank water, scanning the surface of the river from time to time, and slipping away at the slightest movement.
The feeling of hunger hit the brain, and the old crocodile swam to the bank of the river, jumped out, opened its bloody mouth and bit at the erect ape.
The Homo erectus seemed frightened, staring blankly at it for a second of reaction time.
The old crocodile was overjoyed, ready to die rolling.
But the moment the old crocodile was about to bite the Homo erectus, it noticed that the eyes of the Homo erectus were not frightened, but surprised.
Burst!
"Roar!"
"Damn, so strong?! That's great! ”
"Ugh!"
Bang Bang Bang!
Burst!
"Woooooo
......
Tatsuno was cleaning up the corpse of the old crocodile on the shore, and his face was full of irrepressible joy.
The spirit qi of the third-order peak demon beast is extremely rich, and after absorbing the spirit qi captured this time, he will definitely be able to break through to the eighth stage of the third order.
Unexpectedly, there were monsters who dared to attack themselves.
Recently, due to the fact that he had killed too many demon beasts and demons, it was difficult for him to find his target.
The monsters and demons were very sensitive, and when they noticed the smell, they ran away.
After a while, Tatsuno put the hard crocodile skin into the space ring, roasted some crocodile meat, and hit the road again.
By the river, the bones of the old crocodile were washed down by the current and sank to the bottom of the river.
As for its internal organs, it attracted the little demon beasts of the first order to jump out, but they were a little cheering.
