Iron Crocodile Hunting

Chapter 129: Iron Crocodile Hunting

Senior Brother Huang? Hearing the greeting Jiang Teng called out to him, Huang Xiaolong was stunned.

"Xiaolong, you're here!" At this moment, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu both had brilliant smiles on their faces as they stood up and gestured for Huang Xiaolong to sit down.

After the four of them sat down, Xiong Chu smiled and said: “The matter regarding your progress assessment has been decided. Go to the Southern Cliff Swamp, kill an Iron Crocodile, then return with its monster core.”

Hearing this, Huang Xiaolong nodded.

The Iron Crocodile is a species of crocodile, but its defense and attack power are much stronger. The average Iron Crocodile had the strength of a Ninth Order warrior, and even some of the stronger ones could reach the strength of a Tenth Order warrior. To Huang Xiaolong, this assessment was considered easy.

It was just that the Southern Cliff Swamp was some distance away from Luo Tong Royal City.

Southern Cliff Marsh was at the southernmost tip of the Luo Tong Kingdom. Not far from the swamps and right across the border of Luo Tong Kingdom was the land of Baolong Kingdom where the headquarters of the Great Sword Sect was located.

Furthermore, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu highlighted some things that Huang Xiaolong needed to pay attention to.

Not too long later, Huang Xiaolong left the Headmaster's room, returning to the Tianxuan House to tell his parents that he needed to do some errands in the Southern Cliff Swamp. He left the same day.

This time when going to the Southern Cliff Swamp, Huang Xiaolong did not bring any guards or Fei Hou with him, only a small purple monkey.

Nearly five years had passed, yet there had not been much change in the Spirit-Eating Violet Monkeys since the first day of following Huang Xiaolong home. Only her hair was much more lustrous, and her eyes were a sharp ice blue. Overall, only his cute factor had increased.

If one did not know its origin, the little purple monkey would most likely be treated as an ordinary pet.

The cultivation level of the little purple monkey also increased at an incredible speed, comparable to that of Huang Xiaolong.

Three months ago, Huang Xiaolong was at the peak of the late Ninth Order and the little purple monkey was at the peak of the late Nine Stage. However, Huang Xiaolong had recently broken through to the Tenth Order.

Still, according to Huang Xiaolong's estimation, within two months, the little purple monkey would catch up with him.

Experiencing the terrifying cultivation speed of the little purple monkey, even Huang Xiaolong had a hint of envy in his heart. One had to know that he could only break through to the Tenth Order so quickly because he had an incredible martial spirit, and he was able to refine two Heavenly Treasures: the Heavenly Treasure: Linglong Treasure Pagoda along with its more recent acquisition, the God Binding Ring.

But what about the little purple monkey?!

From Huang Xiaolong's observation, it seemed that when his strength increased, it would also trigger a reaction from the energy within his body. By swallowing the beast core, his speed of absorbing the demonic energy within his body became even faster.

After leaving Luo Tong Royal City, Huang Xiaolong and the little purple monkey, one person and one monkey, headed straight for the Southern Cliff Swamp.

Although Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu did not limit the time of the assessment, Huang Xiaolong wanted to complete the Third Year class promotion as quickly as possible and was unwilling to waste more time than necessary.

Originally, Huang Xiaolong did not plan to advance to the Third Year Class, but he had no choice as only the Third Year was eligible to compete in the overall Academy championship.

Huang Xiaolong and the purple little monkey walked over while practicing.

With the little purple monkey as a companion, Huang Xiaolong did not feel bored.

Two months later, Huang Xiaolong came to the top of the mountain cliff. Looking ahead, dry sand danced in the air and he was surrounded by huge mountain cliffs, some reaching over three hundred meters in height.

This was the southernmost location of the cliff top of Luo Tong Kingdom, and it was called the Southern Cliff.

Huang Xiaolong hid his breath and moved forward with the little purple monkey. A short while later, they arrived in front of an area of marsh that stretched nonstop: the goal of Huang Xiaolong this time was this place, the Southern Cliff Swamp.

Standing on the edge of the endless swamp, he could feel the moisture in the air, and there were aquatic plants that mixed into one to create a moldy smell that invaded his nose. Hiding their auras, Huang Xiaolong and the little purple monkey continued to move forward towards the swamps.

Although Huang Xiaolong and the little purple monkey were quite powerful, within the swamp, there was always the possibility of some peak existence of the late Ten Stage. If there were only one or two of them, Huang Xiaolong would not be afraid, but a swarm of them would be troublesome.

Every movement within the scope of three hundred and fifty meters did not escape Huang Xiaolong's sight.

However, after more than an hour, they still had not found a single Iron Crocodile.

The swamp was covered in silence. Apart from the random sounds of insects and some roars of unknown beasts in the distance, there was nothing else.

Two hours later, Huang Xiaolong stopped with a deep frown on his forehead. Continuing like this is not a good idea. Iron Crocodiles usually lurked at the bottom of the swamp and rarely approached the edge or climbed ashore, giving Huang Xiaolong no chance to kill a single one.

Should I go down to the swamp? Huang Xiaolong thought to himself before shaking his head, ignoring the idea.

This water is no ordinary water. It was thick and sticky, and once he entered the swamp, his strength would be greatly reduced. Especially at the bottom, Iron Crocodiles rest in groups. If he were to suffer bad luck and be surrounded by a group of crocodiles, it would take a huge effort to escape.

In the end, Huang Xiaolong waited by the shore with the little purple monkey.

They decided to wait for the Iron Crocodile to swim or come ashore.

One day passed.

The sky gradually became dark.

Huang Xiaolong looked up at the sky and went looking for a place to spend the night with the little purple monkey, finally deciding to settle in the nearby cave on the cliff wall.

The cave was spacious, extending several square meters. Huang Xiaolong put the new killing near the campfire to roast, with the little monkey vigorously salivating while waiting for his food.

The beast meat tasted quite good, and with the Snow Moon Wind and Fire Wine from the Asura Ring, one person and one monkey devoured their food until their stomachs bulged.

The night slowly changes with the day.

The next morning, Huang Xiaolong and the little monkey walked along the edge of the swamp in search of prey.

Time passed and several hours passed, bringing the day closer to noon.

Above, the radiance of sunlight shone clearly but there was not the slightest bit of warmth in Huang Xiaolong's body. In the swamp, humidity increases during the day.

As Huang Xiaolong continued to walk along the edge, suddenly his eyes caught something. In the middle of the swamp, there was a muddy black object about fifty to sixty meters long, similar to a crocodile gliding on the surface of the swamp.

An Iron Crocodile!

Huang Xiaolong's eyes twinkled.

But, the Iron Crocodile was two hundred meters away from the beach. Wanting to kill the Iron Crocodile that was two hundred meters away and then returned safely to the riverbank presented quite a challenge.

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong was unable to consider many things. In an instant, the Blades of Asura appeared in his hand as Wings of the Demon erupted from his back. With a flash, he was already halfway across the swamp, right above the Iron Crocodile.

At the same time Huang Xiaolong appeared on it, the Iron Crocodile seemed to have sensed it and its huge head jolted out of the water with its jaws wide open. It did not bite Huang Xiaolong, instead, it spouted out a green-colored poisonous liquid.

Under the brilliant horizon, a source of poisonous liquid gleamed in the sunlight, giving off a terrible smell.

Seeing this, Huang Xiaolong's body quickly flipped over, avoiding the poisonous liquid. Lines of lightning flashed through the air and the Asura Blade in his hand slashed into the eyes of the Iron Crocodile. It screams in pain.

In the next moment, Huang Xiaolong's body fell down, stopping a dozen meters from his head and swinging the Blades of Asura. Both blades pierced from above. With a horizontal pull on the head, green blood spurted out.

The top of Iron Crocodile's head was his fatal weakness, and in less than a breath, Huang Xiaolong ended the Iron Crocodile's life.

However, after the Iron Crocodile died, before Huang Xiaolong could take out the beast core, the scent of blood had spread. Hearing the miserable screams of their comrades, countless Iron Crocodiles rushed out above the surface of the swamp.
