109: Chapter 109 The Great Terror of the Far East!

According to Old Crocodile's description, there is a river in the Far East that flows into the sea.

At that time, he was soaking nearby.

Suddenly, he heard a very loud, strange cry.

That cry was eerie; it made his hair stand on end and his body feel a chill.

"Old Crocodile, are you sure it wasn't just because you're a cold-blooded animal and your body temperature was dropping?" An Ke raised his doubt.

Old Crocodile: "..."

These words left him speechless for a moment, and then he became a bit annoyed.

"Young friend, it's impolite to interrupt someone's story."

"If you don't want to listen, then I, Old Crocodile, don't need to waste my breath."

An Ke never expected that Old Crocodile would actually get angry.

He must have hit a sore spot.

However, in order to continue hearing the story, An Ke quickly said:

"I'm listening, I'm listening! Old Crocodile, I absolutely won't interrupt again."

"Please, be the bigger man, have a heart as wide as the sea..."

After some coaxing and wheedling, he finally got Old Crocodile to cool down.

"Since you're being so sincere, I, Old Crocodile, will continue telling you."

In reality, An Ke could see that Old Crocodile was a crocodile with a strong desire to share.

He loved telling stories to others or sharing his insights.

To put it simply, he was a chatterbox.

"As soon as that sound came out, all the birds and beasts fled in all directions!"

"Young friend, imagine an extremely eerie and terrifying cry, as if it came from high in the sky, yet also like it came from the depths of the water, impossible to tell the direction."

"With a sound like that, would you still dare to approach?"

This time, An Ke was very cooperative and shook his head repeatedly.

Actually, he was telling the truth.

He really wouldn't dare to approach.

"A kindred spirit!" Old Crocodile said joyfully. "At that time, I was also daunted and immediately turned tail and ran."

After listening, An Ke nodded while falling into deep thought.

A strange cry that could frighten all birds and beasts, where even Old Crocodile couldn't distinguish the direction of the source...

In that Far East region, there's probably something extraordinary.

"It seems the exploration of the Far East region must be left for last."

An Ke made up his mind.

He wasn't someone who liked to court death.

Don't forget that all horror movies only have a plot because the main characters seek death.

As long as the protagonists don't court death, most horror movies could end happily right then and there.

"Hey~ young friend, I advise you, you'd better not go to that place."

The eagle continued to chatter incessantly.

However, none of it was nonsense, and it allowed An Ke to learn quite a lot.

At the same time, it confirmed that Old Crocodile was indeed a very knowledgeable crocodile.

"By the way! Old Crocodile, if I continue north, how long would it take to reach the northernmost part of the island?"

Old Crocodile thought for a moment and then said, "I'm afraid it will take quite a while."

"The distance is still very, very far; it would take at least several months on foot."

"It would be faster to swim."

Old Crocodile's words made An Ke's scalp tingle.

Assuming an average person walks about 25 kilometers a day, the straight-line distance from north to south of the island is at least over 2,000 kilometers.

It's roughly a bit smaller than Mongolia...

That's a bit terrifying!

In reality, it should be smaller than that figure, but not by much.

Just then, Old Crocodile's words interrupted An Ke's train of thought.

He grinned and said, "Young friend, you can hire me as your Navigation consultant."

"The payment only needs to be delicious grilled fish. What do you think?"

"That would be excellent!" An Ke agreed immediately.

Isn't it just grilled fish?

Easy-peasy, simple as that.

Hiring Old Crocodile—he's not just a guide, but can also act as a bodyguard; the value for money is extremely high.

The key is, he'll catch fish himself for An Ke and Little Scar to grill.

It's definitely a win-win deal.

"Wahahaha! Then it's a deal. A gentleman's word is his bond!"

The crocodile also felt he was getting a great deal, being able to eat delicious grilled fish.

Looking at the crocodile whose foodie trait was maxed out, An Ke tempted him:

"Old Crocodile, it's not just grilled fish. If you follow us, you can eat even more delicacies."

"Even tastier than grilled fish!"

One could clearly see Old Crocodile's eyes light up instantly.

He doubted if he had misheard and confirmed again, "There's something even tastier than fish?"

"That's right!" An Ke nodded confidently.

"Wahahaha! I, Old Crocodile, am truly lucky to have met you."

"I'm already a little impatient!"

The crocodile was overjoyed, filled with anticipation for the gourmet food.

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room, the viewers had already grown numb watching this harmonious scene.

"Eh! Boss An really can communicate with any animal."

"I didn't expect that he could even get along harmoniously with a cold-blooded animal like a crocodile."

"I wonder if Boss An can communicate with snakes."

"If he tames an Anaconda, it would definitely be domineering."

"An Anaconda?! Holy crap, are you a monster? Just looking at that thing through the screen makes my scalp tingle."

"..."

As the saying goes, the laypeople watch for the fun, while the experts look for the craft.

Various countries began to find specialized language experts to study how An Ke communicates with animals.

To see if they could decode it and learn it.

Once learned, their own National Destiny Bearers could follow An Ke's example and have a group of animal subordinates.

In the live broadcast.

An Ke, Little Scar, and the others had already eaten and drunk their fill.

"It's time to continue exploring!"

An Ke said loudly.

Little Scar and the others immediately stood up, getting ready to set off.

As for Little Hamster, this fellow had his head tilted and was fast asleep in An Ke's pocket.

This time, there was an extra crocodile in the group, and he was leading the way in front.

An Ke, Little Scar, and the others followed behind.

In the next two or three hours, following the path Old Crocodile led, they really didn't encounter the slightest obstacle.

Without a swamp blocking the way like in the morning, everyone's speed was much faster.

Old Crocodile in front couldn't help but turn his head and say proudly:

"How's the path I led?"

"Pretty great, right?"

An Ke nodded from the bottom of his heart: "Great! Absolutely fantastic!"

"If it weren't for an old hand like you, we estimate this stretch of the road would have taken several times longer."

Little Scar and the others also strongly agreed.

If Old Crocodile hadn't known many hidden shortcuts, they wouldn't have been able to go so fast.

Hearing the praise, Old Crocodile laughed heartily.

"I, Old Crocodile, said I'm an old hand, so I wouldn't lie to you."

"But I suppose you're tired. Just hang on a bit longer; there's a large lake ahead."

"Food is abundant there, and you can stay there tonight."

"I'll go down to the bottom of the lake to catch fish for you in a while, and you'll be responsible for the grilling."

After Old Crocodile finished speaking, he couldn't help but slurp; he was already starting to drool.

The fish species in the two lakes were different, and he wondered if the fish from the bottom of this lake would taste even more perfect after being grilled.

An Ke looked at the sky.

Previously, at this time, he would have been considering returning to the Camp.

But now, he was just continuing to explore forward, trying to increase the exploration progress to 1% as much as possible.
