129: Chapter 129 Giant Crocodile Eats People

"Why did he stop?" Wei Jiaxing watched Ye Yisong standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the peak. "He hasn't discovered anything, has he?"

"Don't scare yourself. At such a distance, even if he is a Nine-Star Martial Master, it's impossible for him to discover us," Wei Jiadi said.

This was only because the Ye Family's confidentiality work was well done; only a few Elders in the clan knew about Ye Yisong's Breakthrough in Mental Energy to the fourth grade.

If the three of them—Wei Jiadi and the others—had known this news, they would have crushed their admission tickets and fled the moment they entered; they certainly wouldn't have dared to set an ambush.

"Hmph, so they really are up there." Ye Yisong walked halfway up the mountain, his powerful Mental Energy already sensing the four people on the mountain. He hadn't realized that Uncle Jiewang was so bold, being so close to the three people from the Wei Family and Wang Family.

If they were discovered by them, it would be a huge problem.

"They really did follow." Ye Yisong felt that powerful aura behind him. The actors were in place; the good show was about to begin.

Ye Yisong, having walked halfway up the mountain, suddenly stopped. He looked around a few times, as if observing how to proceed.

"Why did he stop again?" Wei Jiaxing's heart was about to jump out of his chest.

"Don't rush, wait a little longer." Wei Jiadi's hand, clutching the Talisman, had turned white, but he still feigned calmness to soothe the panicked two.

"Why don't we run while Ye Yisong hasn't discovered us yet!" Wang Xianzhu said, wanting to retreat. It was too scary.

Just as they were still debating whether to fight or retreat, Ye Yisong finally started climbing upwards again.

However, Ye Yisong changed the direction of his ascent, moving from the front of the mountain to the back. He walked with uneven steps, maintaining a steady pace, heading towards the peak neither too fast nor too slow.

"Don't speak, he's right in front of us, prepare to attack!" Wei Jiadi interrupted them, also helping them make the final decision.

Just as Ye Yisong was about to walk into the attack range of Wei Jiadi, Wei Jiaxing, and Wang Xianzhu, he stopped his ascent again.

"How much longer do you three intend to hide?" Ye Yisong shouted upwards.

"Uncle Jiewang, come out!" Seeing that there was no movement from the group, Ye Yisong wasn't in a hurry to climb the mountain; instead, he called out Ye Jiewang, who was hiding one or two hundred meters below the peak.

"Yisong, you're finally here." Ye Jiewang jumped out of the soil and, with a few rolls, joined up with Ye Yisong.

Just a moment ago, Ye Jiewang had been facing the three alone and naturally hadn't dared to come out, but with Ye Yisong's arrival, his courage reignited, and he directly appeared in their field of vision.

"Uncle Jiewang, you run first, a Grade 4 Demonic Beast has followed us," Ye Yisong transmitted his voice secretly.

Ye Jiewang was just about to join forces with Ye Yisong to slaughter the enemy, but before he could say anything, he was scared pale by Ye Yisong's words "Grade 4 Demonic Beast." Not daring to delay, he took to his heels and ran down the mountain.

"Uncle Jiewang, it's best if you leave this place. Once the fight starts, I won't be able to protect you," Ye Yisong reminded him before Ye Jiewang left.

The three guys on the mountain probably couldn't escape; he just didn't know if the admission ticket's teleportation was faster, or if the Giant Crocodile's mouth was faster.

After the Giant Crocodile finished off the three from the Wei and Wang families, it would definitely turn its attention to Ye Yisong. Letting Ye Jiewang leave early was both to protect him and to leave a retreat path for himself.

Ye Yisong believed that as long as only one person was left in the five-person group, this trial would definitely end early.

It wouldn't go so far that after finishing off the three from the Wei and Wang families, he would still have to fight a Grade 4 Demonic Beast.

"Ye Yisong is bluffing us!" Wei Jiaxing was full of confidence this time, unlike before when he kept thinking about retreating, but before he finished speaking, his face was slapped hard.

Just then, Ye Jiewang jumped out from a depression less than two hundred meters away. They had thought they were well-hidden, but unexpectedly, the three of them had been in Ye Jiewang's field of vision the whole time.

Being in Ye Jiewang's field of vision was no different from being discovered by Ye Yisong.

"Ye Yisong, so what if you've discovered us?" Seeing that he couldn't hide, Wei Jiadi appeared and said, "Do you think the three of us are afraid of you?"

"Right, three against one, the advantage is with us." Seeing Ye Jiewang run off, Wei Jiaxing immediately appeared beside Wei Jiadi and earnestly cheered himself on. If his legs weren't shaking, he might have been considered a real man.

"Hehe, is that so? I don't consider myself a match for the three of you," Ye Yisong said jokingly.

"At least you're sensible. Hurry up and surrender, lest we have to do it ourselves. When you get hurt later, don't come crying to us," Wei Jiaxing said, boasting with courage from who knows where.

"I may not be able to beat you, but it certainly can!" Ye Yisong spread his hands and pointed at the Giant Crocodile behind the three. "Brother Crocodile, I'll leave these three people to you."

After finishing speaking, Ye Yisong cast an Immobilization Talisman on Wei Jiadi, who was furthest from the Giant Crocodile, and then ignored them, heading straight to reunite with Ye Jiewang.

Ye Jiewang finally decided to wait for Ye Yisong before deciding whether to crush the admission ticket and leave the trial scene.

"Snap"

Actually, Ye Jiewang hadn't gone far when he heard a loud noise behind him. He couldn't help but look back and saw Wei Jiaxing and Wang Xianzhu being swallowed in one gulp by a huge crocodile.

Wei Jiadi also seemed to have been stunned, standing in place, motionless. Ye Jiewang had just been focused on running and hadn't seen Ye Yisong cast the Talisman to immobilize Wei Jiadi in place.

"Still watching? Run!" Ye Yisong patted Ye Jiewang's head, grabbed him, and ran into the distance. He was truly nonchalant, still watching the spectacle; he shouldn't become the spectacle himself later.

"Oh, oh," Ye Jiewang responded blankly.

...

Not to mention Ye Jiewang, who was stunned in shock, even the people from the various Families watching the competition outside were startled.

Grandfather Ye Tuantu was even more furious: "Vice Prefect Wu Jin, how could a Grade 4 Demonic Beast appear in the trial? If any harm comes to my child Yisong, I will never let you hear the end of this!"

"Is this a trial? Fighting a Grade 4 Demonic Beast? Even a dog wouldn't do it."

"Can we even participate in the Prefecture Examination in the future?"

"What's the difference between this and courting death?"

"Hmph, that brat Ye Yisong won't be able to escape either."

The crowd below was discussing animatedly. The impact of a Grade 4 Demonic Beast was simply too great; there was a huge, insurmountable chasm between the third grade and the fourth grade.

Beneath Vice Prefect Wu Jin's calm face, he was secretly shocked: just how strong was this Ye Yisong's talent? A mere third-grade Martial Master had actually attracted a Grade 4 Demonic Beast.

He knew that the trial scene was matched according to the strength and potential of the Martial Artists participating in the trial.

The stronger the Martial Artist's strength and potential, the more powerful the matched Yao Beast would be.

...

After the Giant Crocodile swallowed the three, it was naturally not satisfied and headed straight for Ye Yisong and the other.

"F*ck," Ye Yisong blurted out a classic vulgarism from his later life, directly letting go of Ye Jiewang, scaring the living daylights out of him.

"Split up." Ye Yisong stuffed two directional teleportation Talismans into Ye Jiewang's hand and was the first to teleport towards the south. "Uncle Jiewang, the Giant Crocodile shouldn't chase you. Once you are out of danger, quickly crush your admission ticket and teleport out of the trial; that would be helping me."

"Okay." Ye Jiewang didn't dare to delay for a moment, immediately activating a teleportation Talisman and heading east.

The Giant Crocodile raised its eyes to look at the direction the two humans had left in, thought for a moment, ground its teeth, and then chased towards the south.
