From a Slave to a Overlord, My Experience with the Beast World

Chapter 48: Fighting the Giant Crocodile

They were about a hundred meters away from the shore. Before they knew it, the river water they were in had turned from clear to turbid, and even the aquatic plants in the river had decreased a lot.

Li Mingsheng felt that something seemed to be wrong, and said to Yanli who was swimming in front of him, "Be careful, I feel something is wrong!"

Yanli looked at the river they were in and seemed to sense the tense feeling beneath the calm. He swam carefully and cautiously.

What Li Mingsheng and Yanli didn't know was that underwater behind them, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at them. They swam carefully without causing any waves, quietly following the two of them, waiting for an opportunity.

Li Mingsheng felt that something was following him, so he stopped swimming and floated on the water. Then he pointed at the water far behind him, signaling Yanli to stop. After both of them floated on the water, he saw the ripples on the water behind him. It seemed that there was some huge monster lurking slowly approaching underneath.

"There's something!" Yanli said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Li Mingsheng looked at the shape of the water waves and roughly counted them. There should be about six or seven in total.

He pointed to the shore, then threw the basket on his head into Yanli's hands.

"You go ashore first. After you get ashore, find a long and thick piece of wood, place it on the big rock, and put one end on the river. I will go and lead them away!" Li Mingsheng looked at the big rock on the shore. It was about two meters high and not very wide. If nothing unexpected happened, he believed that Yanli could fulfill his request.

After saying that, Li Mingsheng actually took the initiative to swim towards the lurkers following them. Yanli watched Li Mingsheng going to take the risk, and although he had the idea of ​​going with him, he did not do so.

Hearing the sound of Yanli swimming towards the shore behind him, Li Mingsheng was extremely satisfied. The most important thing for an excellent ally is enough trust. Often, those who persuade others not to take risks alone and to go together are basically not trustworthy enough.

Let alone affection, he just couldn't bear to see the other person facing it alone. Li Mingsheng didn't rule out the possibility that there was indeed love to the point of dying together, but most of the time, they still didn't trust each other enough.

This is a good point about Yanli. He trusts Li Mingsheng enough to do it on his own, so he has no intention of objecting to Li Mingsheng's risk. All he can do is follow Li Mingsheng's arrangements and prepare a way out for him.

When Li Mingsheng was ten meters away from the group of lurkers, he transformed into a beast, tied the linen clothes on his body to his single horn, and then drove the energy in the beast source and gathered it into his tail. The lurkers had not noticed that the person they were following had shifted their target, and were caught off guard and knocked unconscious by Li Mingsheng's tail.

He was dazzled for a moment, and was flipped over onto the surface of the river with a buzzing sound. After Yanli got ashore, he looked towards the water and saw the full appearance of the lurker. It turned out to be a giant crocodile beast. This kind of thing is usually only found in swamps. He didn't expect that there would be so many of them in this small river, and they were not weak in strength. They were all seven-star beasts.

Yanli forced himself to calm down and went into the forest to look for wood according to Li Mingsheng's arrangement.

After Li Mingsheng knocked over three giant crocodiles, he gathered energy and instantly jumped out of the water more than 20 meters away. Those giant crocodiles that had reacted ignored their injured companions, but surfaced and chased Li Mingsheng with all their might.

They were smart enough to surround Li Mingsheng, but Li Mingsheng was not someone who could be easily controlled. When the giant crocodile was about to surround him, he swam out of the encirclement through the hole with all his strength. If one were to describe Li Mingsheng's slipperiness, it would be that he was like a loach, very slippery.

Li Mingsheng played a chasing game with the giant crocodiles while leading them to the shore. He escaped from the mouths of the giant crocodiles several times. For Li Mingsheng, it was too exciting.

After Yanli came out carrying the wood, he placed the wood on a large rock according to Li Mingsheng's request and put one end of the wood into the water.

As the sound of the wood falling into the water came, Li Mingsheng slid to the left from the mouth of a giant crocodile, bypassed the encirclement, and swam towards the wood, shouting, "Ali, stand on the other side of the wood, wait for my command and jump hard!"

After hearing what Li Mingsheng said, Yanli stood with one foot on the wood and the other on the stone. He watched nervously as Li Mingsheng approached the water while being chased by the giant crocodile beast.

The number of giant crocodiles has increased from four to six. Two of the three that were knocked unconscious by Li Mingsheng's tail and floated on the water have now woken up and joined the ranks of those who are trying to capture Li Mingsheng.

The seven-star giant crocodiles had thick skin and tough flesh, so it was impossible for Li Mingsheng to kill them easily. He was lucky to be able to control three of them temporarily. As for the six that were surrounding him now, Li Mingsheng could only use all his skills. He jumped into the air and sank into the water. For Li Mingsheng, being underwater was like a fish in water.

Yanli was staring at the water on the shore. When he lost sight of Li Mingsheng, he suddenly panicked. He stared at the tumbling water, afraid to see Li Mingsheng's bloody body. He could only force himself to remain calm and focus all his attention on the water.

Li Mingsheng jumped around in the water, sliding left and right to attract the giant crocodiles to attack each other, but he didn't expect that he actually succeeded.

Four giant crocodiles collided with each other because of Li Mingsheng's avoidance. Because they were moving too fast, several of them that collided with each other were bleeding instantly. He also deliberately led the other two to bite each other, and red blood immediately appeared on the water surface and spread along the water.

When Yanli saw that the water surface was stained on the shore, his heart sank.

Li Mingsheng took advantage of the chaos and swam towards the wood at an accelerated speed. Once the giant crocodiles broke free from the chaos, it would be difficult for them to catch up with Li Mingsheng.

Li Mingsheng held onto the wood with his four paws, then floated his head out of the water and shouted, "Jump!"

Yanli relied on instinct to concentrate the power of the beast in his legs, then jumped up and stomped down hard on the other side of the wood.

As the wood lifted up, Li Mingsheng followed the force and relaxed himself. As the wood was thrown high up, along the parabola, Li Mingsheng was thrown to the shore. When he landed, he rolled himself into a circle to release the force and fell into a haystack again without suffering any injuries.

Li Mingsheng's move was exactly based on the principle of leverage. He was glad that Yanli was strong enough and that he was an excellent partner. He had no doubts and no hesitations.

The giant crocodiles in the water saw their prey suddenly come ashore and started to chase after it. When Yanli saw this on the shore, he took a long piece of wood in his hand and knocked over the giant crocodiles that were about to come ashore, but two fists were no match for four hands, so he could only slow down their speed of coming ashore.

After landing, Li Mingsheng quickly got up. Then, seeing that Yanli was about to give up, he shouted at Yanli to run away quickly.

Yanli had also transformed into a beast, carrying a backpack on his back, and followed Li Mingsheng and another person, a dragon and a bear, one running and the other crawling.

The giant crocodile beasts were much slower on land as they could not stay out of the water for too long. Li Mingsheng and Yanli ran at their fastest speed and soon left the giant crocodile beasts behind them.

Instead of resting, the two men continued running for more than an hour until they saw the cave on the platform.
