Chapter 22 (2/2)

The little crocodile spirit swam as fast as he could, twice as fast as when he trained in the waterfall’s rapids. Even so, he wasn’t able to shake off that terrifying dark red monster.

The little crocodile spirit was already trying his best. If this situation persisted, he wouldn’t be able to make it to the curtain of the waterfall before he was paralyzed by the dark red monster’s electricity!

Realizing his life was in danger, the little crocodile spirit started crying for help. He had never come across such an enemy, and was obviously scared to the extreme. His voice was like a crying child’s.

Zhu Minglang also realized that the little crocodile spirit wouldn’t be able to complete his mission, and he immediately reached out his hand, wanting to summon Baiqi to save him.

“If you terminate the mission now, you’re as good as giving up on its Dragon Gate. Many young creatures aren’t aware of their own potential, and often choose to rely on their dragon tamers at crucial moments. However, it still isn’t a real dragon yet; you can’t possibly hide it in your spirit domain. A day will come when it will get out of your sight, be swept into the waterfall’s rapid current again, and encounter a much stronger prey…” Duan Lan’s voice carried a hint of strictness.

As a teacher, she understood that the little crocodile spirit’s current situation wasn’t at the point of hopelessness yet.

Concern bred disorder. Duan Lan wanted Zhu Minglang to stay calm at this moment, a quality all Master Dragon Tamers needed to possess.

Like eagles, if the eaglets were never pushed to a cliff, they would forever hide in their nests, waiting to be fed and never learning how to fly.

They wouldn’t learn how to hunt, nor how to fly. They would become food for the sly pythons, or be bitten to death by other beasts fighting for territory.

Zhu Minglang took a deep breath, ultimately choosing to watch coldly from the side.

The little crocodile spirit’s cries for help grew louder, but Zhu Minglang didn’t respond to him.

Gu!

That dark red water monster suddenly peeked half its head out of the water. Its eyes were completely red, flashing with a weird luster.

The pond water ahead was under the control of some strange, unknown power. It actually started moving backwards, like a huge tail sweeping out in a reverse wave!

The distance the little crocodile spirit was keeping between them wasn’t enough. With the appearance of this unexpected counter-current, he had no way of dodging, and the sheep was sent right into the tiger’s mouth!

Zhu Minglang’s heart sank as he witnessed this scene.

-The opponent knows Demon Arts! There’s no way the little crocodile spirit can escape now.-

The little crocodile spirit seemed to understand that no one would come save him. The reverse wave swept over him, nearly flipping him around. There was no hope of him escaping!

“Ou…!!!”

The little crocodile spirit swung his tail, adjusting himself to face the dark red water monster.

Taking advantage of the reverse wave, the little crocodile spirit lowered his head and aimed his horn straight, betting it all on this and charging at the dark red water monster!

Heavy crocodile horn attack!

In terms of toughness of his physique, the little crocodile spirit, who had grown to two meters long, wouldn’t be inferior to many ferocious creatures. Furthermore, the horn on his forehead was comparable to a rhinoceros’. This charge held terrifying might behind it!

Bang!!!

Cloaked inside its dark cloud, the dark red monster wasn’t expecting its prey to retaliate, and was sent flying out of the water.

At this moment, Zhu Minglang finally got a clear look at the monster. It was actually a terrifying Violent Catfish. It had two whiskers on both its upper and lower jaws. Those four whiskers were what was emitting those dark red electrical lights!

Violent Catfishes were naturally devoid of scales. This hundred-year demon spirit, however, had actually grown an outer skin similar to an iron sheet. Once, it would have been possible for the little crocodile spirit’s heavy horn charge to severely injure his opponent, but it was blocked by the Violent Catfish’s tough skin.

Bzzizizizi…

Surrounded by electrical smoke, the little crocodile spirit was electrocuted by the dark red threads of electricity as he sent the Violent Catfish flying with his charge, and his body started convulsing.

“Ou!!” the little crocodile spirit cried painfully, as he tried swimming out of the black cloud before he was fully paralyzed…

He managed to swim out of the black cloud, but he couldn’t move his head, neck, chest, and front limbs in the end. Relying on his tail, the little crocodile waded his way toward the waterfall with much difficulty.

“Gu…!!!” the Violent Catfish called out, only recovering from its dizziness after some time.

Its red eyes glared at the little crocodile spirit angrily. The Violent Catfish raised a huge splash of water once more, chasing after the little crocodile spirit. It wouldn’t let things rest without swallowing its prey!

The little crocodile spirit was moving extremely slowly, like an elder on crutches racing against an adult man at full sprint. He didn’t give up, however, and continued swimming with his aching and fatigued body…

“Gugu!!!”

The Violent Catfish leapt up, its mouth opening up like a black basket. The two-meter-long little crocodile spirit seemed tiny in comparison; it seemed like this monster was truly intending on swallowing it alive!

Suddenly, a blue flood dragon broke out from the curtain of the rolling waterfall with a roar, its slender, mighty figure pouncing toward the pond.

It was so fast that it looked like a thick bolt of blue lightning had flashed across. The Waterfall Flood Dragon actually intercepted the ferocious Violent Catfish in midair, like a snake grabbing a frog in one bite.

As majestic as a tall tower, the Waterfall Flood Dragon flung its neck, throwing the captured Violent Catfish ruthlessly toward the cliff!

Pa! Flesh and blood spattered, painting the waterfall’s rock wall. The strength behind the Waterfall Flood Dragon’s throw was truly too shocking, actually smashing the tough and ferocious Violent Catfish to bits and pieces!

Shuahuahua…

With the waterfall flushing down, the Violent Catfish’s large puddle of flesh and blood was soon washed away, bit by bit, into the pond…

As the carcass was washed away, countless carnivorous fish were drawn there, fighting for food. After being bullied by this Violent Catfish for a very long time, the carnivorous fish in the pond had a great time feasting on its carcass, wagging their tails endlessly.

In just a matter of minutes, the Violent Catfish was completely dismembered. Even the bloody water became much more diluted…
