79: Chapter 79 Team Attack, Slaying the Crocodile Man

The outpost was already crowded with many Martial Artists; some were resting, others were preparing to depart, all wearing solemn expressions.

Clearly, the situation regarding the riot in the K25 Secret Realm was dire!

"The Crocodile People's attack seems organized and premeditated; they ganged up to assault our base, causing us great losses!"

The soldier pointed into the distance and said: "Our previous defensive line was over there, but later, because the Crocodile People's offensive was too fierce, we had to retreat to this side!"

"Many of our people were captured by the Crocodile People to be used as blood food!"

"If you can rescue these captives, you can obtain even greater rewards!"

"You can rest here for a while, then wait for the next counterattack by other Martial Artist teams and set off together!"

...

"Alright!"

Lu Shengnan nodded.

They had just arrived and were unfamiliar with the area, so following other teams could help them avoid unnecessary danger.

Although they were all proud geniuses, that didn't mean they wouldn't take a shortcut if it was available, instead of blindly rushing in!

That would be foolish!

By following these veterans, they could avoid many unnecessary troubles!

Taking advantage of this time, they could rest and discuss their tactics for later.

About an hour later, the Martial Artist squads resting there began to set off to exterminate the Crocodile People.

Jiang Ling and his team followed along.

"A bunch of little brats, quite courageous!"

"You even dare to take on this kind of mission!"

A Martial Artist from one of the teams bared his teeth in a grin at Jiang Ling and his group, revealing a hint of disdain.

"Just hide behind us and pick up scraps later, don't rush to the front!"

"The Crocodile People here are extremely fierce!"

"Several squads were completely wiped out before!"

...

"Since we dared to take this mission, we have the confidence to do so; you don't need to worry about us!"

Chu He huffed, speaking with defiance.

"Haha... truly, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!"

The other party laughed heartily, "Just like we were when we were young!"

"However, once you've experienced a few baptisms of life and death, you won't be so arrogant anymore!"

They traveled forward at a fast pace, and before long, they were quite far from the rear outpost.

The land ahead was mostly swampy mud, extremely slushy, making it very difficult to walk.

Jiang Ling could ignore this muddy terrain by relying on the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Steps, but the others were not so relaxed.

Chu He and the others often stumbled, their feet sinking deep, almost getting stuck.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, the leader of the leading squad waved his hand, halting everyone's advance.

Everyone was stunned, quickly stopping and preparing for battle.

"Watch out for the pond!"

The captain's pupils constricted sharply; he raised a large saber in his hand and slashed toward a pond in front.

A fierce flame erupted from the blade, striking the pond and instantly causing a powerful explosion.

The water from the pond splashed out, forming a small-scale shower.

Inside the pond, dozens of behemoths suddenly rushed out, roaring fiercely as they charged toward the group.

Jiang Ling and his team saw the Crocodile People for the first time, discovering that these Crocodile People were massive, each at least over three meters long.

They were covered in hard scales, stood on two feet, and held a giant circular saw in their hands, looking incredibly ferocious.

"Kill!"

The Martial Artists all roared and charged forward with their weapons.

"Maintain our formation!"

"Don't scatter!"

Lu Shengnan shouted loudly.

"Yes!"

Everyone maintained the agreed-upon formation, with Chu He, who possessed the Titan Giant Ape talent, standing at the very front to act as a meat shield.

Lu Shengnan, holding a greatsword, and Jiang Ling, holding a black iron great saber, stood on either side, while Shen Chong, Jin Yichuan, and Lin Haochen waited for an opportunity in the back.

"Take my staff!"

Standing at the front, Chu He saw a Crocodile Person rushing toward them, roared, and swung his massive staff down at its head.

Roar!

The phantom of a massive Titan Giant Ape appeared behind him, granting him ten times the strength.

Bang!

Chu He's big staff slammed into the Crocodile Person, sending it flying.

Chu He was currently Rank 18, while this Crocodile Person had already reached Rank 20.

Logically speaking, the gap between Chu He and this Crocodile Person was very large.

However, relying on his SS-Rank Titan Giant Ape talent, Chu He fought across Ranks and repelled the Crocodile Person.

Jiang Ling and Lu Shengnan were very excited to see Chu He smash the Crocodile Person away; they rushed up from left and right, their greatsword and black iron great saber slashing down together.

Pfft!

Pfft!

The Crocodile Person's two arms were chopped right off.

Jiang Ling followed up with a spin, swinging the black iron great saber, and the Crocodile Person's head was chopped off.

Using this black iron great saber, Jiang Ling found its power was a hundred times stronger than the horizontal saber.

He didn't even need to use any Martial Skill or activate his Supernatural Ability; he could easily slay the Crocodile People.

"Your strength has indeed improved significantly again!"

Seeing Jiang Ling's smooth strike, Lu Shengnan couldn't help but praise him.

A long time had passed since their last bout at the Freshman Competition. Lu Shengnan's strength had improved significantly, and she had reached Rank 20, but she realized the gap between her and Jiang Ling had actually widened.

"You too!"

Jiang Ling smiled and stepped back into the formation.

In fact, he could easily slaughter these Crocodile People on his own, but since he came with the team, the team had to come first.

"Our coordination is good, let's continue!"

With their first success, their confidence soared.

Chu He continued to clear the path in front, Jiang Ling and Lu Shengnan guarded the sides, while Shen Chong, Lin Haochen, and Jin Yichuan waited for opportunities to launch surprise attacks.

Soon, more Crocodile People rushed toward them.

The Crocodile People's massive bodies were quite oppressive when standing upright, and the circular saws in their hands swept across with tremendous power.

But Chu He stood his ground like a lone guardian; his stature surged to over two meters, and his massive staff swung with such force that it deflected all the Crocodile People's attacks.

The others took the opportunity to strike, slaying every Crocodile Person that rushed over.

Jiang Ling mingled in the team, not even using ten percent of his strength!

In the blink of an eye, all hundred or so Crocodile People who ambushed them were wiped out.

Jiang Ling's team had killed over twenty!

This made the other teams gasp in surprise.

Jiang Ling's team, which looked like a group of freshman students, had killed no fewer Crocodile People than they had.

This made them put away their contempt.

Truly, heroes come from the youth!

Jiang Ling and his team also felt admiration for these Martial Artist teams; the team leader from earlier had detected the ambush immediately, showing his wealth of experience.

If it had been them, they definitely would have been caught off guard.

And would have fallen into a passive position.
