Chapter 464 - Good Morning
TL: Lifeisajourney
Liu Gan held his breath. He didn’t dare move. It seemed the King Crocodile hadn’t noticed his presence yet. Liu Gan escaped imminent death by the skin of his teeth.
Contrary to his earlier belief, the King Crocodile wasn’t eating the shrubbery at all. It was tearing it apart, then regurgitate it back out. The one peculiar thing was that it would look in Liu Gan’s direction every once in a while. Finally, after it was finished with its suspicious activity, the King Crocodile stood up and headed back in the direction of its lair. The King Crocodile was trampling over any obstacles in its path as it prepared to go to sleep.
What methods could Liu Gan take to assure his victory? Was it possible to poison the shrubs? Would it even succumb to poison? Once the idea popped into Liu Gan’s head, he started thinking of all possibilities. The ultimate question was, Where will I get this poison? These types of mutant monstrosities should have a decent poison resistance, so all the normal types of poison wouldn’t be effective.
Should he try out the tactic suggested by Stratos? Use a hand grenade and shove it up the anus? Or any other orifices? It might produce a giant crater. Actually, it might even be effective if he had more hand grenades or explosives packs to produce an amplified effect.
Even though Liu Gan believed that the tactic was ludicrous, he didn’t want to ban the idea before testing it. He wasn’t in a rush to experiment, since the King Crocodile was asleep by now.

Half an hour passed, Liu Gan waiting patiently for the King Crocodile in case it woke up. He climbed gently down the tree, then went in a roundabout way to circle the creature. He couldn’t find the anal opening. It must be sitting on it when it was sleeping...
Even though the anal orifice was covered, the nasal cavity was wide open. Liu Gan could toss a grenade into the opening while it was still asleep! It might produce some favorable result, if the black fog wasn’t overflowing from the shield. Liu Gan doubted any foreign object would be able to pass through the shield...
Instead of wasting a hand grenade, Liu Gan decided to use a rock. If the rock could pass through the shield and land inside the nose, then the grenade would work. If a rock wasn’t able to go through, then he had just saved a valuable resource.
Liu Gan picked up a fist-sized rock. With his full strength, he threw it at the King Crocodile’s gaping nostril...
Boom!
The rock didn’t make it very far. It bounced off the invisible shield more than a dozen centimeters above the surface of the King Crocodile’s skin. It sounded like the rock had came in contact with metal plate.
The King Crocodile’s eyes fluttered. However, it wasn’t enough of a disturbance to wake up. In fact the King Crocodile had gotten used to having falling branches or fruits fall on it.
Liu Gan inched closer. This time he tried to shove the rock up the nose. As he got closer, he found out that the shield was acting like a force field that wouldn’t allow anything closer than ten centimeters. No matter how hard he pushed, he was repelled. This meant that the King Crocodile had a shield ten centimeters thick...
