Volume 5: Taming the Beast Chapter 13: What can I use to seduce you, little crocodile (Part 1)
After beating up the elf archer who had done something stupid, Feiyin clapped her hands lightly and walked towards us with a smile on her face as if nothing had happened.
"Since this guy can't go into the water, the only thing we can do is to lure the giant crocodile out." She stood in front of me and looked at me for advice .
"Well... OK, you have the final say." I have to admit that when her smiling eyes swept over me, my heart sank suddenly. The bloody lesson of Xiange Yayi was in front of me. As long as I hadn't suffered from dementia, I would know that obedience was the best choice.
"Please don't hurt this little crocodile..." Seeing us preparing to dive into the water, the long-haired elf girl returned to her old ways and looked at the giant crocodile A. Stan in the water with pity and worry. Her sad eyes almost gave me an illusion that we were about to face a docile lamb, and we were the tyrannical butchers.
Looking at the shadow of the giant beast in the water whose head alone was bigger than my entire body, I really didn't know where her groundless worry came from - no matter from which angle you look at it, our situation is more worthy of worry.
After a little preparation, Feiyin and I dived into the water one after the other. The light in the water was much dimmer than on the shore. I was a little uncomfortable when I first entered the water. I felt a chill and dizziness in front of my eyes. But it didn't take long for me to adapt to the underwater environment and I could see things with my eyes.
Under the water, the giant whirlpool crocodile A. Stan seemed to be even bigger than its real size. Its eyes were half open and half closed, and it was leisurely wandering in the water. Its body was broad and fat, and its limbs were like four thick tree stumps. Its long mouth was slightly open, revealing two rows of sharp and strong teeth. The most amazing thing was its tail. Its tail was as long as a person, covered with rough scales and barbs, and looked thick and powerful. Although it looked very clumsy, when it swam, the tail kept swinging smoothly, and it looked more flexible than a person's legs.
I don't want to know what it feels like to be hit on the head by this big tail.
Feiyin and I swam slowly closer, and when we were at a safe distance, we swam out of the water together to take a breath. When we dived into the water again, Feiyin gestured to me, and then fired an ice arrow at the huge underwater monster.
Before the ice arrow hit the target, Feiyin pulled me and began to swim back desperately, fearing that a moment of hesitation would make the giant crocodile's dessert. Facing such a huge target, Feiyin didn't have to worry about her attack spells missing the target. The ice arrow hit the giant crocodile's back squarely. Although the power of this ice arrow was not worth mentioning for the giant crocodile's thick and solid skin, it succeeded in attracting the giant crocodile's attention. A. Stan immediately turned his head and rushed towards us angrily. His limbs and tail slapped the water from time to time, creating waves. The calm underground river suddenly became violent, with splashes and waves. The fish swimming underwater didn't know what happened, and they instinctively fled in all directions, stirring up the already boiling underground undercurrent even more chaotically.
The giant crocodile was much faster than we thought. It swung its tail hard two or three times and rushed behind us. Fortunately, we were not far from the shore at this time. I used my arms to paddle twice to reach the shore, then pushed hard with both hands and rolled onto the shore. Then I turned around, grabbed Feiyin's hand, pulled back hard, and dragged her out of the water.
"Get ready, it's coming!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Even then, I could still feel the water sprayed by the giant crocodile hitting my spine.
Yan Zhen had taken out his whistle and was looking at the water with a pair of curious big eyes. Xian Ge Yayi was holding a bow and arrow, standing by her side, ready for battle.
The giant crocodile A. Stan, with its back exposed above the water, was rapidly approaching the shore. Just when we thought it would rush to the surface to cause trouble for us, it suddenly dived into the water at the moment it was about to hit the shore. Its two thick and short hind legs and long tail pointed straight up to the sky in a rather comical way, and then it slapped the water with great momentum, splashing countless white foams with a "pop".
Then, we watched as the huge shadow underwater waved its tail again and swam unsteadily back to the center of the water.
Feiyin and Xian Ge Yayi's faces suddenly became long. Judging from the way they looked at me, my expression must have been very ugly at that time.
We risked our lives to lead it to the water's edge, hoping to tame it when it came ashore. However, we didn't expect this cunning beast to be so cautious that it didn't even come ashore.
"What should I do?" I asked with a sad face.
"How about you two go into the water and try again?" Xian Ge Yayi said shamelessly.
"Why don't you try again?" Fei Yin was furious.
"I..." Xiange Yayi looked embarrassed, "...I can't swim..."
"I do have an idea. We can tie you to a line and throw you into the water, then hook the crocodile and use you as bait. It doesn't matter whether you're dead or alive, and you don't need to be able to swim." I retorted nonchalantly.
