"Boom!"

  Two water bullets collided with the ice yer oer the other.

  A loud "rumble" echoed.

  That se of ice shattered instantly.

  Two massive water ns shot up into the sky.

  "Damn, water bullets are kiic attacks!"

  Li Meng rolled on the ice yer, getting ba his feet and tinued running.

  Gng back, the terrifying power of the water bullets gave him a fright.

  If he tried to block with the Big Iron Rod, it definitely wouldn't hold.

  Li Meng dashed left and right on the ice yer.

  Oer bullet after aruck the ice behind him.

  Water ns shot up into the sky.

  "Luckily, the bullet speed isn't too fast!"

  While dodging the water bullets, Li Meng still had time for random thoughts.

  Sier bullets are kiic attacks, their flight speed isn't too fast.

  Li Meng seemed a bit disheveled on the ice yer.

  But iy, he was quickly closing the distao the s crocodile king.

  "Crack!"

  Li Meng stomped hard while sprinting.

  The ice yer shattered, sinking deeply into the water.

  His body shot up like an arrow, heading straight for the s crocodile king.

  Seeing Li Meowards it, a hint of mockery fshed in the s crocodile king's eyes.

  It raised its head, opening its massive mouth towards Li Meng.

  A water ball emerged, spinning rapidly.

  Fag the s crocodile king's fident strike, Li Meng grinned fiercely.

  He hurled the Big Iron Rod with force at the s crocodile king.

  With a "boom," a shockwave exploded.

  The Big Iron Rod turned into a bck streak, crossing dozens of meters in an instant.

  It pluraight into the s crocodile king's mouth.

  "Shhh!"

  The Big Iron Rod drove deep into the s crocodile king's throat.

  Almost pletely embedded.

  "Ugh!"

  The s crocodile ki out a mournful cry.

  It shook its head, swaying its massive body.

  Trying to dislodge the Big Iron Rod from its mouth.

  But it was futile; the Big Iron Rod was firmly lodged in its throat.

  "Ha ha ha, die!"

  Li Meng nded heavily on the ice yer.

  With a "crack," that se of ice shattered with a "boom."

  The LV1 ice element trol was still too weak.

  This resulted in the ice yer not being strong enough.

  Just a bit tougher than natural ice.

  As soon as he nded, Li Meng dashed out again.

  With a quick step, he closed in on the s crocodile king.

  He swung his right fist, pung the s crocodile king in the face.

  The s crocodile king's massive body staggered.

  The immense force sent it rolling on the ice yer.

  The Big Iron Rod in its throat seemed to cause it great disfort.

  It couldn't even make a sound.

  Li Meng waved his hand, and a shockwave exploded in front of him.

  A Wind Bde shot out, heading straight for the s crocodile king.

  The distance of a few meters was within reach.

  The Wind Bde struck the s crocodile king's scales with a "shhh."

  The Wind Bde dissipated upon impact with the s crocodile king's body.

  "Impressive defense!"

  It's known that a sirike of the Wind Bde cut through a tree that takes two people to encircle.

  Yet it couldn't leave any mark on the s crocodile king.

  "Hey, big crocodile, want to be my underling?"

  Looking at the massive creature before him, Li Meempted.

  Having the s crocodile king as a subordinate would make many things easier.

  He could roam the s freely.

  Even if the Bck Mountain tribe's army came, it wouldn't matter.

  With the s crocodile king's assistahe Bck Mountain tribe was nothing to worry about.

  "Could this be the turning point to ge the future?"

  Li Meng grinned, feeling hopeful.

  But then again, something seemed off.

  There didn't seem to be any information about the s crocodile king iure timeline.

  What's going on here?

  "Dream on, you monster born from a groundhog's belly!"

  The s crocodile king got up.

  It ehe disfort and pain in its throat, charging at Li Meng with its head.

  Alright, it seems even Magical Beasts harbor animosity toblins.

  Li Meng's figure flickered as he leaped back.

  He extended his hands, grabbing the s crocodile king's massive tail.

  "Then I'll just have to smash you to death!"

  Li Meed his strength, using his waist and hips.

  He swung the s crocodile king's massive tail.

  The s crocodile king's huge body was lifted by Li Meng.

  And smmed heavily onto the ice yer.

  "Boom!"

  The thick ice yer shattered into pieces.

  The s crocodile king was dazed from the impact.

  The Big Iron Rod in its throat seemed even more firmly lodged.

  Seeing the ice yer's fragility, Li Meng grinned.

  He dragged the s crocodile king's massive tail towards a nearby isnd.

  "See that piece of nd? There's a sharp ro it. I'll smash your body against that rotil you're a bloody mess. After you die, I'll gut you open, and the goblins will eat you , not even leaving the stuff in your stomach. Hmm, letting you die just like that would be too easy."

  Li Meng turned back, giving the s crocodile king a sinister smile.

  "How about this? I won't let you die. I'll make you watch as the goblins gut you open. I'll keep you alive as long as possible, watg as your body is devoured bit by bit. Hmm, that would be quite iing."

  This wasn't a threat; it was Li Meng's final offer for the s crocodile king to stay alive.

  Submission was best, but if not, it didn't matter.

  The s crocodile king's corpse was a valuable asset.

  Gobu Ge, Gobu Da, and Gobu Qiang had limited potential.

  They he meat of high-level Magical Beasts to evolve.

  Li Meng inteo nurture these three underlings.

  Li Meng's intimidation finally revealed a hint of fear in the s crocodile king's eyes.

  Death wasn't terrifying; a fate worse thah was.

  "You're strong. I submit to you, but I have one dition!"

  Li Meng thought the s crocodile king would hold out a bit longer.

  After all, it's a Magical Beast, and Magical Beasts aren't known for their brains.

  If everything could be resolved through "unication," why would humans have so many wars?

  Uedly, the s crocodile king didn't resist at all.

  As soon as Li Meng finished his threats, it ceded.

  Li Meng paused, stopping his advance.

  Standing on the ice yer, Li Meng grinned.

  Having ditions was good; it meant the deal was done.

  "Go ahead, what's your dition?"

  Li Meng released the s crocodile king's tail.

  He turo face the s crocodile king, which had regais freedom and was lying on the ice yer.

  "I don't want to mate with goblins. I don't want to give birth to little goblins!"

  The s crocodile king turned painfully, staring straight at Li Meng.

  The s crocodile king's ditio Li Meng speechless.

  It seemed even Magical Beasts couldn't stand goblins.

  "Alright, it's a deal. Open your mouth."

  What kind of dition was that?

  With the s crocodile king's massive size, anyone would be like a toothpi the o.

  Even the big goblin leader wouldn't be suitable.

  "Boss, it's a deal. You 't go ba your word."

  "What, you don't trust me?"

  "I don't trust goblins!"
