The moment he entered the pool, a bone-chilling chill instantly assaulted Xu You.

If it was an ordinary person, their mobility would probably be greatly affected in such a cold and bone-chilling environment.

However, in Xu You’s previous life, there was survival training in extreme environments in the special forces.

This bone-chilling environment might be an extremely painful torture for ordinary people, but to him, it was actually not a hopeless situation.

After entering the water, Xu You quickly adapted to the surrounding environment and began to swim.

His speed was extremely fast, and the crocodiles in the pool did not react immediately.

Only when the water was stirred did the crocodiles in the pool react. They turned their huge bodies and swam toward Xu You.

Xu You’s gaze was calm, and his expression did not fluctuate at all.

His body swam nimbly in the water, and he did not panic because he was in danger.

The path he chose was an extremely good direction to break through.

There were quite a few crocodiles in this direction. Coupled with Xu You’s already flexible movements, he quickly escaped the encirclement of the crocodiles.

Finally, following the instructions in the system space, Xu You passed through the pool.

Then… when he surfaced again, a cave appeared in front of him.

There were countless strange stalactites hanging above the cave, and there were many small streams flowing around.

Xu You did not hesitate and swam out of the water.

His gaze suddenly swept around the cave and quickly locked onto a direction in the cave.

There… was a pile of rocks.

As he stood up and quickly walked over, Xu You confirmed further in the system space.

“This… should be the pile of rocks hiding the Dragon Pearl.”

Xu You muttered to himself, but he did not have the time to walk to the pile of rocks.

“Roar!”

A ferocious and terrifying roar sounded from behind Xu You, followed by a terrifying pressure.

Xu You’s pupils suddenly constricted, and he almost subconsciously twisted his body to the side. Only then did he narrowly dodge the sneak attack of a five-meter-long crocodile.

The crocodile missed and its huge eyes became even angrier. It suddenly crawled towards Xu You again.

Xu You’s gaze was calm as he glanced in the direction of the pool from the corner of his eye. Seeing that no crocodile seemed to be able to support it in a short period of time, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He flipped his palm slightly and quickly took out a short knife from his waist.

Then, he jumped up and dodged another attack from the crocodile. Xu You directly flipped over and sat on its body.

Then, a ruthless knife stabbed into its eye.

Blood splattered!

“Roar!”

The crocodile was in pain. After roaring angrily, it began to struggle violently.

However, Xu You’s legs were like a pair of metal pincers, clamping down so tightly that the crocodile could not break free.

He simply pulled out the small knife and stabbed again into the crocodile’s other eye.

At this point, both of the crocodile’s eyes were blinded!

The crocodile’s vision was blocked and it could only feel that there seemed to be someone on it.

However, the huge pain in its body made it very difficult for it to focus on dealing with Xu You.

Xu’s right hand moved cleanly as he continuously stabbed the crocodile’s neck.

During this process, the crocodile’s life force gradually decreased.

In the end, it lost all its strength and fell to the ground without moving.

Xu You suddenly raised his head.

In the pool in front of him, many crocodiles had already begun to approach.

Clearly, after he killed this crocodile, the smell of blood in the field had already attracted the attention of the other crocodiles.

Thinking of this, Xu You quickly got up from the crocodile and quickly ran towards the pile of rocks.

Walking to the pile of rocks, Xu You turned around.

The crocodiles had already begun to bite and eat the crocodile he had stabbed to death.

He raised his eyebrows. After confirming that no crocodile was coming in his direction, Xu You started to check the rock pile in front of him.

After rummaging for a while, a piercing numbness suddenly came from under a few rocks.

Xu You’s heart stirred slightly, and his actions quickened.

After he moved a few rocks away, a bead with fine lightning marks and dragon totem patterns on it appeared in front of him!

This was the treasure in this mystic realm, the Thunder Dragon Pearl!

Xu You was a little excited but at this moment, roars and crawling sounds suddenly sounded from behind him.

He frowned and turned around.

After those crocodiles finished eating their own kind, they began to turn in his direction.

While he was fighting with the crocodile just now, his body was inevitably stained with blood…

Xu You’s pupils constricted slightly. It was unrealistic to study the specific use of the Dragon Pearl now or slowly plan it.

He had been forced by the crocodiles to come to this location to find the Dragon Pearl.

When he thought of this, Xu You no longer hesitated and directly swallowed the Dragon Pearl.

A numbing feeling began to flow from Xu You’s throat.

Immediately after, a huge and terrifying energy began to suddenly erupt in his body.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

The water not far away suddenly began to stir violently.

Xu You raised his head, and his eyes were already filled with lightning.

The muscles on his body began to expand, directly tearing his shirt!

Abundant energy surged to every part of his body.

Xu You could clearly sense that after swallowing the Dragon Pearl, his strength was completely different from before!

In his eyes, the crocodiles who could still threaten his life and force him to a dead end were like small geckos without any threat!

As for the crocodile, it did not know what change Xu You had, but it still opened its bloody mouth and pounced at him.

A ruthless glint flashed through Xu’s right eye as he easily dodged the crocodile’s pounce.

Then, he kicked his feet and Xu You’s body suddenly shot out from the spot, stabbing the crocodile’s neck!

The moment it touched the crocodile’s neck, the short knife suddenly became covered in lightning, and an extremely terrifying energy erupted.

In an instant, with a terrifying lightning flash, the crocodile’s head was directly cut off.

Then, Xu You raised his head again and looked at the crocodiles pouncing at him.

His gaze was cold as he moved. The short knife in his hand was clenched tightly and shone with a sharp light!

As he raised his hand and slashed down, Xu You dealt with all the crocodiles attacking him.

“Phew… the power of the Dragon Pearl is really powerful.”

Xu You, who was covered in the blood of crocodiles, looked at the crocodiles lying on the ground in front of him with surprise.

Clenching his fist, Xu You clearly felt a powerful force that was different from before.

After suppressing the extremely violent energy in his body slightly, Xu You took a deep breath and prepared to return the way he came.

However…

Just as Xu You was about to enter the pool, a terrifying low groan suddenly sounded from the pool in front of him.

Then, the water surface slowly broke open, revealing an extremely huge python head.

This python head was very huge, and it was almost no different from the front of a large truck.

Its cold eyes stared fixedly in Xu You’s direction.

It stuck out its tongue, and an extremely terrifying dignity sounded.

In the next moment, a notification sounded from the system.

“Warning: The Dragon Pearl Guardian has appeared. Host, please be careful.”

Xu You’s pupils suddenly constricted. This Dragon Pearl actually had a special guardian?

‘Then why didn’t you say so earlier?’

Xu You cursed the system in his mind. However, before he could digest this news, the python in front of him suddenly attacked.
