Chapter 16

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a dense forest, the giant crocodile that was chasing a group of first-rank savage beasts, storm rabbits, suddenly stopped.

After letting out a loud roar, it left the tens of rabbits that it had killed on the ground. With bloodshot eyes, it turned around and ran towards its nest.

Furthermore, it was not too far away.

Kasri only had seven minutes at most. If she did not get the Lingzhi grass within seven minutes, Kasri would have to face the giant crocodile, which would attack her mercilessly.

By the time the giant crocodile was rushing back at full speed, Kasri had already reached the middle of his nest. She was less than two hundred meters away from the deepest part of the Lingzhi grass.

As Kasri got closer to the depths of the nest, there were more and more juvenile crocodiles.

With no cubs to harass her, Kasri, who was unable to move at full speed, was burning with anxiety.

She did not know when the giant crocodile would return, but she knew that she could not waste any more time. The longer she stayed in the giant crocodile’s nest, the more dangerous it would be.

As she looked at the juvenile crocodiles that kept coming out from the corners of the nest, Kasri’s eyes gradually became determined and sharp.

After throwing away the unfamiliar longsword in her hand, she took out three short sticks from her back and skillfully pieced them together. Then, she took out the cloth bag from her waist and ripped it, revealing a spearhead that was shining with a cold light.

“After connecting it to the shaft, a two-meter long and one-hundred pound metal spear stood in her hand.

Kasri waved her spear, and with the power to sweep away an army of thousands, she destroyed all the juvenile crocodiles around her. After that, her body exploded with a powerful force of lightning, and no other crocodiles dared to approach her.

What Kasri was using now was the lightning shield from the Thunderclap Breathing Technique. With her current physical strength, she could only last for ten minutes.

For those ten minutes, her speed and strength would increase exponentially, reaching five times the original.

However, the side effect was that after the lightning shield disappeared, she would not be able to use the Thunderbolt Breathing Technique for a few days. She would also be half as weak as a regular person.

However, in order to obtain the Lingzhi grass, she could only take a gamble. If she succeeded, she could fly free, but if she failed, she would lose her life in the mouth of the giant crocodile.

Thus, the moment Kasri used her Thunder Shield, she did not dare to delay a single moment. She immediately picked up her spear and flicked away all the juvenile crocodiles that were blocking her way.

Without any pause, she advanced deeper into the nest.

The distance of over two hundred meters was covered in a flash by Kasri’s extreme speed.

The moment Kasri saw the black Lingzhi grass emitting a strange purple light growing on the rock wall in the depths of the nest, a fleeting smile appeared on her face.

Then, she used his spear to break the rock wall where the two Lingzhi grasses were. She jumped up high and snagged the two Lingzhi grasses. She put them into a special Jade box and put them into her backpack.

Without the slightest hesitation, she rushed towards the exit of the nest.

At that moment, the giant crocodile was about to return to its nest.

It then understood that the creature that had broken into his nest had already taken the Lingzhi grass.

As such, the giant crocodile lost its composure. It no longer tried to avoid the trees in front of it. Instead, it broke all of them. Its eyes were bloodshot as it roared and advanced towards its nest.

Lan Bingling, who was guarding outside, looked at the berserk giant crocodile in the distance. She knew that Kasri should have already successfully obtained the Lingzhi grass.

She smashed the two-way induction bead in her hand and looked towards the desolate giant crocodile’s nest, praying that Kasri would return safely.

In order not to cause any trouble for Kasri, she quickly carried Huo Li ‘er on her back and ran towards the hidden cave that they had discovered when they first arrived.

Kasri, who was only one step away from the nest’s exit, sensed the shattering of the bead. She knew that the desolate giant crocodile had arrived, and that it was very close to the nest. She immediately sped up and rushed out of the nest.

As Kasri quickened her pace, she took only three seconds to step out of the nest’s exit, which was very close.

Kasri, who had just come out of its nest, saw the savage giant crocodile charging towards her. She did not dare to stay any longer and ran in the opposite direction from the savage giant crocodile, quickly leaving the scene.

In the distance, the desolate giant crocodile saw a tiny creature emerge from its nest. The creature’s body was covered in its cub’s blood and the smell of Lingzhi grass.

It knew that this little thing was the one who stole its Lingzhi grass and killed its young.

It lost its mind. Spreading its four legs, it madly ran towards Kasri at an extreme speed. It was determined to kill this little guy and make her pay for its cub’s life.

While the giant crocodile was madly chasing after Kasri, Roger, who had been searching for a day without finding any traces of a third-rank savage beast, was feeling at a loss.

At that moment, he was using the wind-type spell, Wind Perception, to scan the area.

Roger looked at the corpses of the savage beasts on the ground. The aura had remained on the spot, and the traces of the giant barren crocodile running away at high speed after going berserk were still present. He was overjoyed.

He had searched for a whole day, but still could not find it. The sun was about to set and he had been prepared to give up for the day.

To think that it would appear in front of him just like that. Roger was afraid that the giant crocodile would be killed by someone else, so he followed the route at top speed.

He was only short of one last third-rank to reactivate the crystal. No matter what, he couldn’t let anyone else kill it.

If it had already been killed by others, then he could only use peaceful means before resorting to force.

If they were willing to trade beast cores, then anything could be discussed.

Otherwise, don’t blame me for using extreme measures.

Although Roger would not take a life, he could still torment them.

Just as Roger followed the tracks left behind by the giant crocodile and chased after it at top speed, Kasri’s Lightning Shield would only last another three minutes.

However, even with Kasri’s current augmented strength, she was not confident that she could kill the crocodile within two minutes.

Thus, there was only one path in front of Kasri, and that was to rely on her tiny body to nimbly move through the forest and between the rocks, using her speed to shake off the giant crocodile.

As long as she was out of the crocodile’s line of sight for a minute, she would be able to conceal her aura and hide in a secluded spot to escape the crocodile’s pursuit.
