38: Chapter 38 Water Attribute Spiritual Power: A Bountiful Harvest

"Impressive strength."

The Red-scaled Crocodile shook its head.

Several shocking, bloody wounds stretched from its jaw down to its thick neck.

The Red-scaled Crocodile used spiritual energy to seal its wounds and stop the bleeding.

[Frost Wing Blade]

Bai Xuan's wings were covered in frost, their sharp edges exposed like keen blades, before he shot out like a cannonball.

He looked as if he intended to slice the Red-scaled Crocodile in two.

The Red-scaled Crocodile's tail was covered in spiritual energy, with layers of flowing water wrapping around it as it whipped its tail out fiercely.

With a deafening boom, a massive explosion rang out.

Frost spread out, covering the ground in a layer of ice that was neither too thick nor too thin.

Immediately after, blood splattered everywhere. Before his eyes, the Red-scaled Crocodile's tail had been cut off, blood gushing out like a fountain as a bloody stench filled the air.

The Red-scaled Crocodile let out a roar of pain: "Roar!"

Meanwhile, Bai Xuan was completely unscathed: "You really are tough to kill."

To be able to withstand two of his moves, the Red-scaled Crocodile was considered outstanding for its level.

It had extremely high defense and even mastered water-attribute spiritual power.

As long as it didn't die young, it would at least become a local overlord in the future.

"I surrender, I surrender! If you spare me, I can be your lackey. I'll follow your every lead and obey your every command."

After feeling the gap in strength between itself and Bai Xuan, the Red-scaled Crocodile began to beg for mercy.

"You'd better just die." Bai Xuan launched a new round of attacks.

A moment later, the Red-scaled Crocodile perished there, its neck snapped in a grizzly death.

[Devoured a Second-Order, Second-Stage Red-scaled Crocodile. Gained 300 evolution points.]

[Devoured a Low-Grade Spirit Stone. Gained 100 evolution points.]

[Devoured a Low-Grade Spirit Stone. Gained 100 evolution points.]

There were a total of five Low-Grade Spirit Stones inside the Red-scaled Crocodile's body.

This Red-scaled Crocodile had quite a bit of wealth; no wonder it could advance to the second order.

The Red-scaled Crocodile lived in a lake deep within the mountains, temporarily evading being killed by humans. However, its tracks had already been discovered, and it would be dealt with sooner or later.

It was only a matter of time.

Bai Xuan dove into the lake, expanding his spiritual sense to the maximum to search for the crocodile's lair.

Before long, Bai Xuan found a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone. After devouring it and gaining one thousand evolution points, there was nothing else left.

Bai Xuan washed his body in the lake, came ashore, and shook off the lake water: "Whew. Today's harvest was quite bountiful."

Afterward, Bai Xuan headed toward where Mother Tiger and Hu Da were located.

...

Military Base.

"Damn it! That strange bird has appeared again and killed so many people. What on earth do we have to do to catch it?!"

"Sigh, that strange bird's movements are unpredictable. We don't know where it will head next time."

"Have you noticed? This strange bird seems to only kill people in the mountains. There haven't been any incidents of it harming people elsewhere. Logically speaking, after such a ferocious beast escapes our control and enters human settlements, it should go on a rampage to vent its anger, but it hasn't done that. It even helps humans."

"What are you trying to say?"

"What I'm saying is that the strange bird clearly distinguishes between friends and foes. From start to finish, we were the ones who provoked it first..."

"So you're saying it's our fault?"

"Our positions are different, so it's hard to say. My thought is that if we could befriend it and clear the air, it might be beneficial for both sides."

"Heh, do you think that's possible? What is our objective? To control spiritual energy resources and the number of mutated creatures. There's simply no possibility of peaceful coexistence with that strange bird. Stop daydreaming."

They were all talking at once, with differing viewpoints.

"Arguing again? Why must you start an argument every single time?"

Elder Lin sighed helplessly.

"Elder Lin, I am refuting his statement, not intentionally trying to argue with him."

"I'm also just stating my viewpoint. I believe peaceful coexistence is possible, which would benefit both sides."

"Heh, before that, you should understand how great a threat that strange bird is to us before speaking. If this eagle isn't eliminated, the consequences will be endless."
