Chapter 433 - Crocodile Head
TL: LifeisaJourney
The Moonlight Gulf Theme Park it covered a wide range of land. There were several lakes in the vicinity. These lakes divided up the theme park into several districts. Some of the districts could be crossed over by bridges, but there were some bridges that had rotted away. The largest lakes had small row boats for an alternative method to cross the lake.
“This place is eerily silent! There’s no one. Not even bodies. Nothing at all!” Ana hopped off the the boat as she looked around. The group had just left their camp for another theme park district to search for clues.
“This is an instance that our group has entered. If we saw other people, then that would be strange. That would mean other people can enter into our instance. It could be spell trouble if that happened,” Cai Hao Chen replied to Ana.
After being appointed a group leader by name, both Ana and Hao Chen had undergone attitude changes. Both of them were trying to do their best to become a role model leader. If they could win the hearts of their group, then they would have a chance of being recognized by Liu Gan. This chance of recognition didn’t come easy or often.
Arriving at the shore, they experienced first-hand how vast the theme park was. They left from their campsite to this new district, which was mainly for resting. There was a grand central plaza and meadows, with shops lined up surrounding the plaza, and resting table and benches all around. In the plaza and meadows, there were recreational and exercise equipment installed. The tourists could rest in this district and enjoy the moment of serenity.
Right after arriving on the edge of the lake, they saw a towering building shaped like a dove. Within the bird house, there were a few rotting carcasses of doves. Prior to the catastrophe, the theme park must have sold bird feed to the tourists. The tourists would feed the doves, which was a type of recreational entertainment.
While everyone was looking around the plaza, a creature with two robust hind legs, two slender forearms that had sharp claws at the end, and a head like a crocodile charged out from its hiding spot. It was very light on its feet. Hiding behind the laughter of the people, it rushed forward. It chose the most vulnerable group of people closest to it. Its first target was standing right next to Liu Gan’s side - Ana! She had her back to the predator, as she was talking to her group members!
Liu Gan nearly mistook the sound of the creature racing closer as a critter. By the time Liu Gan can react to it, the Crocodile was two meters away from Ana. Due to the urgency of the matter, Liu Gan shoved Ana away. Ana felt the force from Liu Gan’s push, but she had no idea what was happening or what would’ve happened if he hadn’t done that. Like an artillery shell, she rolled away several times across the ground.
The Crocodile wasn’t successful at ambushing Ana. Instead the creature kept charging at full-speed, and the weight of its momentum slammed onto another player. The Crocodile missed its first prey, so it took an opportunistic chance on the second prey that was closest to its mouth. The Crocodile creature bit onto Sun Chao’s neck and snapped it clean off, tearing through his primitive Mist Armor with little to no resistance.
It all happened too fast. One moment, they were all joking, the next moment Sun Chao was dead. They couldn’t even put up defensive measures. The moment the other people realized what had happened, they started screaming. However, Liu Gan didn’t need to wait. He reacted to the ambush and attacked with his own greataxe.
