Chapter 142 - 142: Going To White Blazing Lake

"Brother Robert, don't worry I will take you to the place safely." While gliding in the dense forest Bird Emperor said to Robert who was walking on the ground with a big corpse.

Robert just rolled his eyes in response, Safely? Who will be safe, you or me?

I am carrying this shit and you are leisurely flying, If someone had a bad intention then they would attack me not you!

Right now both of them are going to White Blazing Lake. Yesterday The Overlord Turtle said that he needs to make a contact with Marshal Crocodile which would help him in the future.

According to the Overlord Turtle, The Marshal Crocodile lives far away from Cloud Peak but due to special circumstances, that guy has moved his location to the White Blazing Lake so that he could cope with the changes that are happening near the border of the inner region.

He can go there for exchange. There is a great chance that he could meet Marshal Crocodile but he does not have much hope for that.

After all Marshal Crocodile is a big figure and he has many things in his hands so how can he attend to an unknown figure like him?

That's why the purpose of this visit is not to meet the Marshal but to see the items that could be redeemed for the corpse of Desolate Beasts.

If the rewards are great and there is something that he needs then he would gladly make an exchange there in the future. 

But if the things are useless to him then he would not send all the corpses of Desolate Beasts in the future. He would only send the bare minimum to make his or rather Taotie Restaurant presence known to the Marshal.

These are the objectives of his trip and Bird Emperor, who is familiar with the road, is his guide. 

"Have you met Marshal Crocodile before?" Robert looked at the Bird Emperor and asked some important questions.

He asked the Bird Emperor because he has heard him talking about the Marshal several times.

"Not really, I have only heard about that fighting maniac! According to the rumors that guy is terrible and scary. Although he is a crocodile there are horns all over his body and his body is big as a mountain. His one casual stomp can create cracks on the ground, His one roar can make everyone shiver in fear. There is a saying that Destruction always follows the footsteps of Marshal Crocodile!" The Bird emperor said with excitement as he described the Marshal Crocodile.

But Robert had a few question marks on his head. Big as a mountain? Horns all over his body? 

He cannot even imagine a creature like this, If he puts all of these together then would it still be a crocodile? 

Robert didn't know but since it's a fantasy world a creature like this may exist thus he believed in the Bird Emperor's words.

And the Marshal Crocodile has a high Cultivation base too so it's normal that his one stomp can crumble a mountain.

"Okay, then we would keep a low profile after going there. It's best to do our job and leave quickly." Robert said solemnly to the Bird Emperor. Of course, it would be better if he could see the Marshal Crocodile though he did not say this aloud.

Who knows if this guy would go there and say something like.

"Hey! Marshal Crocodile, Come out! We want to meet you!" 

According to the personality of the Bird Emperor, it's highly possible that this would happen.

The Bird Emperor showed a surprised and helpless expression after hearing Robert, "Brother Robert! I want to keep a low profile but looks don't allow it. No matter where I would always be the center of attention."

Tsk poser! 

Robert was pissed off after hearing Bird Emperor and he has an urge to beat the shit out of him. But he resisted this urge after all it was not good to create trouble outside.

Robert and Bird Emperor increased their pace as they moved toward the White Blazing Lake.

Soon they arrived at the vicinity of the White Blazing Lake.

Arriving at the place Robert noticed that this place appeared to be desolate as there are not many people here. To be exact he did not meet anyone near the White Blazing Lake.

"What happened? Where are the idlers?" Near him, the Bird Emperor said in confusion as he looked at the empty place.

He remembers that this place is always packed with people and it's very noisy. But today the situation seems to be different as there is no one here.

"Maybe others are not allowed here during a time like this?" Robert said at his inference. The Marshal Crocodile seems like a miliary type guy so this place should be something like a Military base.

So it's normal that other people are not allowed here. After all, not just anyone can enter the military base.

"Maybe." The Bird Emperor accepted this reason as it made sense. 

Like this, both of them entered a deeper part of the region with a corpse. Along the way, they did not encounter anyone and there were no signs of activities in the surrounding area.

Robert became more puzzled after seeing this. How can he find Marshal Crocodile like this?????

The Overlord Turtle has not mentioned the exact location of the Marshal Crocodile so he is stump now.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" 

Just as he was confused he heard a soft voice from the lake. Robert and the Bird emperor looked at the lake in surprise.

They saw some movement in the lake as someone was approaching them. But due to the fog, they were not able to have a clear picture of the creature.

It was only until the creature arrived at the shore that they had a clear picture.

They saw a tiny crocodile in front of them. This crocodile has a height of thirty centimeters his body is covered with green scales and he has two adorable big eyes. This should be a juvenile crocodile.

At this moment the juvenile crocodile was looking at them with inquiry present in his eyes.

Robert was visibly relaxed after seeing the Juvenile crocodile. Previously he felt that they are going to meet the Marshal Crocodile just after they arrived here.

"Hey! I am talking to you. Tell me, what are you doing here? Do you have any malicious intentions?" The Juvenile Crocodile asked in a milky soft voice as he bared small white teeth at them.

Robert was amused after seeing its fierce expression. He raised his hands and said politely, "Don't worry! We have no malicious intentions, it's just that we came here for an exchange."

"We came from afar after hearing that Marshal Crocodile is giving a reward in exchange for the corpse of Desolate beasts…" Robert said politely as he wanted to ask about the Marshal Crocodile next but the Juvenile Crocodile interrupted him.

"Oh, so you are here for that! Then you found the right person. I am in charge of that. Follow me, I will reward you for the Desolate beast." The Juvenile Crocodile said something that confused both of them.

Both of them looked at its tiny body in confusion, In-charge? And you?

The Juvenile crocodile didn't seem to notice their suspicious gaze as he moved toward the other part of White Blazing Lake as he said, "Follow me!"

Robert and the Bird Emperor looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do next. Should they follow him or not?

In the end, Robert nodded and decided to follow the Juvenile crocodile. Whether or not his words are true he can know after going with him.

Since coming here they have only met this little guy so it's best to follow him.

So both Robert and Bird Emperor followed the Juvenile crocodile.

While walking Robert was not idle as he looked at the Juvenile crocodile and asked, "By the way, Why is this place so desolate? Why is there no one living in a good place like this?"

"It's simple! This place is now the base of operations so all the idlers and weak spiritual beasts are driven out." The Juvenile crocodile said in an oblivious manner. From his words, it looks like the situation is not strange at all.

But for Robert and Bird Emperor his words are not a bit convincing. After all, he is included in that category.

Unless he is Marshal Crocodile? But there is no way that this is true.

No matter how exaggerated the rumors are, there is some substance in them. There is no way a cute little crocodile would be the ferocious bloodthirsty Marshal Crocodile. There is a world difference in the description and actual appearance if it's true.

Robert thought to himself jokingly but out of curiosity, he used the identification skill on the Juvenile crocodile.

???

As a result, he got three question marks.. Robert's expression stiffened as an absurd idea appeared in his mind.
