Chapter 97: Three-Star Elite Crocodile Beast

Rumble~

The stone pillar was smashed, and a large amount of rocks fell down, burying Su Yun’s corpse, leaving only one of his arms outside.

“Phew, it’s over!” Xu Feng sighed slightly. All six of them were killed, including an acquaintance. Xu Feng felt a bit complicated, but he did not feel any regret. Those who kill will eventually be killed. Moreover, these people were from the Doomsday Ark Alliance. Xu Feng despised the Doomsday Ark Alliance from the bottom of his heart. They betrayed their own race. Such an organization should not exist.

Even if Xu Feng did not take action now, Earth’s Will would deal with them in the future.

The Sword Embryo turned into a flash of light, circled around Xu Feng a few times, and then entered his body.

After the battle, Xu Feng felt that the Sword Embryo seemed to have become more lively. There was a faint sense of joy being conveyed to him, but it was very subtle, as if it were Xu Feng’s illusion.

“The people from the Doomsday Ark Alliance were able to find this place, which means it has been discovered. With six people lost, the Doomsday Ark Alliance will definitely come here to investigate,” Xu Feng thought to himself.

“Forget it, I’ll go out and take a look, and also search for the location of the Village of Sacrifice. In any case, I can’t let the Doomsday Ark Alliance get their hands on the Village of Sacrifice.” Xu Feng gathered the spoils of war.

After the six people died, all the equipment on them belonged to Xu Feng. However, these people only had a few pieces of Black Iron equipment, which were not suitable for Xu Feng. But the one called Su Yun had a Silver Quality ring that was quite good. Xu Feng took it off and put it on his own hand.

Ring of the Hunter, Silver Quality, attributes: Agility +3, Stamina +2. When attacking, there is a 15% chance to cause Armor Break damage.

A person could only wear one ring on each hand. If more were added, the energies in the rings would interfere with each other, and the effects would disappear.

Xu Feng wore a Storage Ring on his right hand, so he could only wear this ring on his left hand.

With the Virtual Backpack, the usefulness of Xu Feng’s Storage Ring had greatly diminished. If not for the fact that the space in the Storage Ring was much larger than that of the Virtual Backpack, Xu Feng would have replaced it long ago.

Walking out of the mine cave, Xu Feng noticed that there were many human Chosen Ones in the Blackwater Swamp. These people had all heard about the Village of Sacrifice in the Blackwater Swamp and came to investigate. Solo Players wanted to see if there was any advantage to be gained, while the major forces wanted to take the Village of Sacrifice for themselves.

“Hey, brother, what’s in that big cave behind you?” A man wearing metal plate armor and holding a silver-white knight’s shield raised his hand and greeted Xu Feng, asking curiously.

Before Xu Feng could speak, the man’s face suddenly changed dramatically. He quickly raised his shield to protect his upper body and retreated.

“Brother, run! There’s a monster behind you!” the man shouted.

Xu Feng glanced back speechlessly. The Giant Lizard Beast had returned to its original size, standing behind Xu Feng like a wall. Seeing Xu Feng look at it, the Giant Lizard Beast gave an innocent expression.

“Don’t be afraid, brother. This is my pet,” Xu Feng said loudly.

“Awesome, bro! You actually have a pet with Three-star Strength. Impressive, truly impressive!” The man showed an expression of surprise, put away his shield, and gave a thumbs-up.

“Hehe, my name is Xu Feng,” Xu Feng extended his right hand and said with a smile.

“Zhao Shoujun!” The shield-holding man glanced nervously at the Giant Lizard Beast and shook Xu Feng’s hand.

“The cave behind me is a mine cave. You can dig some good-quality ore inside,” Xu Feng said with a smile.

“Really? I didn’t expect it to be a mine cave,” Zhao Shoujun’s eyes lit up.

“What, interested in taking a look?” Xu Feng asked.

“Of course! High-quality ore is very valuable,” Zhao Shoujun said excitedly. “But before that, I need to buy a Mining Skill Card. Without the skill, mining ore is too difficult and time-consuming.”

“Brother, have you found the Village of Sacrifice?” Xu Feng asked.

“So you’re also here for the Village of Sacrifice. I heard there’s a Village of Sacrifice in the Blackwater Swamp. Apparently, if you occupy it, you can develop it into your own territory. But this damned village is just too hard to find. The Blackwater Swamp is so big. I’ve been wandering here for three days and still haven’t found the village’s location.”

“Alright, I’ll keep looking then. See you later,” Xu Feng said with a smile.

“See you, see you. I’ll mark this spot. I still need to go back and buy a Mining Skill Card…” Zhao Shoujun muttered to himself, seeming a bit absent-minded.

Zhao Shoujun was a Solo Player and had not joined any organization. He came to the Blackwater Swamp just to see if there was any advantage to be gained. But those who dared to come to the Blackwater Swamp alone and had been wandering here for three days were much stronger than ordinary people.

In his previous life, when Xu Feng learned about the Village of Sacrifice, it had already been occupied by the Doomsday Ark Alliance, and no one was allowed to approach. Therefore, Xu Feng did not know the exact location of the Village of Sacrifice, only that it was roughly in a Black Water Lake.

“In my previous life, I heard that the Three-Star Flood Dragon was also in a lake in the Blackwater Swamp. The Village of Sacrifice is also there. Could it be that they are in the same lake?” Xu Feng speculated.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of violent explosions sounded in the distance. Soon, several people with dirty faces emerged from a nearby bush.

Seeing Xu Feng, they were startled and then shouted, “Run, run! There’s an elite monster chasing us.” Shortly after, a monster over five meters long, moving on all fours with a thick tail, resembling a crocodile, crawled out of the bush and began chasing them.

Seeing the monster appear behind them, the group had no time to speak to Xu Feng. They quickly changed direction and fled elsewhere.

Xu Feng smiled slightly. These people had good character. Instead of running toward him, they changed direction to avoid putting him in danger.

“Giant Lizard Beast, stop it!” Xu Feng commanded.

This monster was called the Swamp Crocodile Beast. It looked quite similar to Earth’s crocodiles but was more vicious and cunning. This huge Crocodile Beast was clearly also a Three-Star Elite Monster.

That group of people, like Xu Feng, had probably been killing ordinary Crocodile Beasts. As a result, they killed so many that they attracted the pursuit of an elite monster.

A Three-Star Elite Monster—if it were before, Xu Feng would have turned and run. But now, Xu Feng had a pet with Three-Star Elite strength and a terrifyingly powerful Flying Sword Embryo. Facing a Three-Star Elite Monster again, Xu Feng now had the ability to hunt it alone.

Roar!

The Giant Lizard Beast lunged at the Swamp Crocodile Beast. The two massive monsters wrestled together, splashing mud and water everywhere. The entire swamp trembled as if from an earthquake, rumbling faintly. Large patches of bushes were crushed into powder. The commotion was so great that the surrounding monsters began to flee rapidly in all directions.
