Chapter 172 You have to believe me.
"Ouch - roar -"
The swamp black crocodile rushed out of the pond, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a brutal roar.
Four legs were running quickly on the soft ground. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of Li He and bit down hard on Li He's body.
It looked like he was going to bite Li Hyuk's entire body in half.
But as soon as his mouth fell, there was a "bang" sound.
Li He punched out, and the huge force exploded. The body of the five-meter-long swamp black crocodile trembled violently, and was knocked to the ground the next moment.
The fallen swamp black crocodile quickly rolled back to its original position, shook its head, and bit again unwilling to admit defeat.
This time, his mouth opened wider, as if he wanted to swallow Li He whole.
But the next moment, the swamp black crocodile stopped suddenly, and its open mouth froze.
Li He took a step forward and held the black crocodile's upper and lower jaws with both hands.
The black crocodile tried to struggle, but white frost formed on the surface of Li He's hands, which quickly spread towards the black crocodile.
Not long after, the black crocodile's entire body was covered and frozen, and only a pair of khaki eyes could barely move.
Black Crocodile was horrified. He had no idea that Li He, who looked ordinary, could be so powerful. He couldn't handle it alone.
But Li He didn't give it a chance to regret. Under the horrified gaze of the black crocodile, Li He raised his right hand, and a flame wrapped in liquid appeared in his palm.
Acetylene oxygen explosion fireball!
Li He stuffed the ball of fire deep into the black crocodile's throat, and used both hands to forcefully close the black crocodile's open mouth.
"Woo--"
Black Crocodile whined.
After struggling fiercely, the surface of the skin cracked and a large amount of blood poured out, but he finally broke out of the frozen state.
After breaking away, he desperately fled into the distance.
But before he could escape far, a shocking "boom" sound appeared, and most of the black crocodile's body was blown to pieces. The overflowing high temperature caused the water in the surrounding ponds to boil.
Li He gently clapped his hands and looked at the few remaining corpses of the swamp black crocodile. Li He said to himself: "It doesn't seem to be very strong. It has no effect of dangerous fighting at all..." As soon as he finished speaking, something further
away Multiple ponds rippled, and black figures appeared one after another. Many swamp black crocodiles who were hiding and trying to hunt saw the tragic death of their companions, and quickly rushed out and besieged Li He.
Li He nodded lightly and said, "Does this make sense? It's somewhat interesting."
The next moment, a test tube filled with dark purple potion appeared in his hand.
He pulled out the stopper, drank the potion inside, and shouted: "Come on!" After saying this, he was greeted by many swamp black crocodiles surrounding him.
The depths of the Rotting Swamp suddenly became lively.
Like a huge stone thrown into the lake, the ripples spread rapidly in all directions, and the disturbed and stimulated swamp black crocodiles rushed in crazily.
Then there were roars, roars, and screams...
"Ouch!"
"Rumble!"
...
In the blink of an eye, three days later.
Li Hyuk appeared outside the rotten swamp, where he had stopped.
At this time, he could not see any changes from before entering the swamp, only his brows were slightly furrowed.
He stared at the quiet rotten swamp for a while, shook his head slightly, turned around and prepared to leave.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance.
After a moment, three first-level wizard apprentices, two men and one woman, approached on horseback.
When they got close, the three stopped and glanced at the rotten swamp. Then they noticed Li He, one of the tall and thin wizard apprentices, jumping off his horse and walking over.
When the other party saw a silver line on Li He's chest, he understood that Li He was a first-level wizard apprentice just like them.
But Li He dared to leave the academy alone. He was obviously somewhat confident in his own strength. After thinking about it, the tall and lanky wizard apprentice took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, senior. My name is Mote, and my two friends, I accepted the mission from the academy and came to this rotten swamp to investigate the migration of black crocodiles in the swamp."
Li He nodded, not surprised by this.
The same mission will not be issued to just one person, especially the investigation mission.
The academy will assign multiple wizard apprentices in batches to conduct investigations, summarize the investigation information, and draw conclusions.
The three new people who appeared should be the wizard apprentices who received the mission after him. There should also be other apprentices in other directions of the Rotten Swamp. They will investigate at different times based on the requirements when receiving the mission.
"This senior..." the first-level wizard apprentice named Mott continued, "Our investigation mission requires us to conduct observations day and night and record in detail... I guess you have also accepted a similar mission. I wonder if you can Share with us some of the information you have collected. For example, are there many swamp black crocodiles that have migrated out so far, how many are there, and which direction have they migrated to?" The other party's purpose is very clear: he wants to find out more from Li He
. News, being lazy.
Li He didn't care much about this. He thought about it and said frankly: "So far, I haven't noticed that the swamp black crocodile has migrated, and I guess you guys won't find it either." "Huh?" Mott was a little stunned after hearing this
. , said in disbelief, "Are there none? Senior? If there were no swamp black crocodiles in the past two days, it would be normal, but they should be migrating in the past few days. If it is too late, they will not be able to reproduce... ..."
"But I really didn't see it."
"Could it be that you saw it wrong, senior? Or maybe one or two of them migrated... It's just that senior didn't notice..." Mott said.
"Maybe." Li He did not argue with the other party and looked at the other party. "Next, you can observe the situation carefully and record it. As for me...the mission time is up, I will go back first. Goodbye!" Waving his hand, Li
He Turn around and leave.
Looking at Li He's back and thinking about Li He's words, Mott couldn't help but scratch his head, still a little doubtful: "Is it true that no swamp black crocodile has been found so far? Isn't it right...how could it be..."
At this time, two of Mott's companions came over.
"What happened to that man just now?" the female apprentice asked.
"He took a similar mission to us and came here to investigate the situation of the black crocodile in the swamp." Mott said.
"Then have you asked him about the recent changes in the swamp?" the male apprentice asked.
"Asked." Mott showed a complicated expression, "But...he told me that so far, no swamp black crocodiles have been found to have migrated." "How is that possible?" "Is
he
lying?" Male and female apprentices They all shouted out and expressed doubts. Among them, the female apprentice quickly said, "This is not the first time we have taken on this task. We were here last year too. Counting the time, the swamp black crocodile should come out by the time. How could it not be there?" Did you find it?"
"I'm surprised too." Mott agreed, "It shouldn't be impossible to find out, but... there's no benefit to him lying to us..."
"Forget it, don't worry about it. Those people are gone. You can say whatever you want. We will stay here for a day and night to report the situation and get the magic stone." The male apprentice said, "You two Keep an eye on it first, and I'll find a safe place nearby and set up the tent as a temporary rest area, and then we'll take turns checking and recording the information." "Okay." "
Okay
." Mott and the female apprentice nodded in agreement.
...
a few days later.
Li He returned to Dark Heart Academy and entered the mission hall.
Enter through the side door of the mission hall and arrive at a side hall.
Compared with the main hall, the area here is smaller and there are fewer people. It is a service hall dedicated to handling the procedures for undertaking tasks and delivering tasks.
In the service hall, there are multiple counters, with male or female apprentices standing behind them.
Li He walked towards counter No. 13 where he delivered the task. Before he could reach it, he saw a group of three people arguing with the female apprentice behind the counter.
"Alas -" one of the tall and thin ones, facing the female apprentice behind the counter, let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "I know this is not normal, but... we really didn't lie. I’m not making up wrong information. There really are no swamp black crocodiles migrating out of the rotten swamp. It’s true! I swear!”
