Look, we've arrived! Two giant alligators stared at us but couldn't move. It said: "Thank you for rescuing us, I won't deceive you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Ao Lei and said: "By the way, how did you end up following it? Did all those fierce beasts that were following me before die?"
Ao Lei said bluntly, "They're dead, and I'm the one who killed them. Why would I betray you? You should be clear about that, shouldn't you?"
The giant crocodile closed its eyes and said: "How could I not know, you've always resented me for killing your wife, right? But do you know why I only killed her and not you?"
Ao Lei didn't respond, seemingly waiting for the next part. The giant alligator continued: "You used to spend every day with your wife in the woods, neglecting your actual strength, so I had no choice but to kill her and bring you back to cultivate you properly. Because I think you will definitely become a king in the future, don't you feel that I'm taking good care of you?"
Listening to this, Ao Lei angrily said: "That's right, you brought me back and took good care of me, otherwise I wouldn't have my current abilities, but what I want is not these things, don't you understand?"
The giant crocodile sighed: "How could I not understand, but as a king, you should do what you should do, not stay in the woods all day. Do you know?"
"So you're doing this for me?" Ao Lei was on the verge of losing control.
I immediately stopped it and then asked the giant alligator: "What's in it for you?"
The giant crocodile seemed to be deep in thought, and after a long time it said: "I won't do anything that doesn't benefit me. Just like how you're saving us now, if you didn't save me, I wouldn't tell you the benefits either."
It suddenly asked: "Have you seen the giant black water snake at the bottom of the sea?"
"What's with the Black Water Mystic Snake?" It was talking about that black water mystic snake, I naturally knew. It must be the same giant snake that nearly killed me last time.
Seeing my reaction, it knew I had seen it before. It said: "A few years ago, we were living at the bottom of the sea. We had our own children, but one day it carelessly swam to the edge of a sea cave and just as we reacted, a black water snake suddenly rushed out and swallowed it in one gulp."
"It originally wanted to come and kill us, fortunately we were lucky, at that time a tsunami happened to occur, sweeping us onto this island, and we discovered the secret of enhancing our strength, after which we drove away the ferocious beasts and occupied this place."
After hearing the giant alligator's words, I finally understood that they had a vendetta against the black water snake at the bottom of the water. If I'm not mistaken, after discovering that Taro was different from the others, they wanted to cultivate him and wait until he became strong enough to join forces with them to kill the black water snake.
Thinking of them, they are still quite pitiful. At this time, Ao Lei heard their words and seemed to have lost his anger from just now, but after all, these two guys killed his wife, and there is always a hint of resentment in his heart.
I hesitated for a moment, then said: "Actually, the Black Water Mystic Snake has a grudge against me too. I accidentally drilled into that hole earlier and ate its wife's inner dan. It hunted me down, but fortunately my life was spared!"
Upon hearing my words, the giant alligator was taken aback at first, then said: "Really? I didn't expect you to actually escape from Hei Shui Xuan Snake's hands. It seems that you're not simple either.But if it's really like that, then you've gotten yourself into big trouble. This Hei Shui Xuan Snake has a vengeful personality."
Listening to him say that, I thought: "This can't be right, it's been so long and I've gone to the sea several times, it doesn't seem to have come looking for me!"
"This can't be right, I've been in the sea for so long, and its character is also very clear to me. Almost all of this generation in the South Sea are under its rule, it's impossible for it to let you go, unless there's something else going on?" The giant crocodile said unclearly.
I thought for a moment, could it be that it was injured when it fought with the giant turtle last time? But last time, the giant turtle seemed to be much weaker than the black water snake. The fact that the black water snake gave up on me and chased after the giant turtle makes me think their feud is even deeper. Next time I see the giant turtle, I'll have to ask it clearly.
I didn't want to get entangled in this matter either, so I asked: "By the way, when you asked for my help just now, you said you had something I wanted. Shouldn't you tell me about it now?"
The giant crocodile didn't go back on its word, saying: "I'll tell you now, the reason why this place can enhance our strength is actually because there's a shocking great secret hidden beneath here. You can take a look for yourselves, just head down from that cave entrance."
I followed its gaze and saw that the opening was exactly where they had climbed up before. I crawled to the opening and sensed it, there was no danger below, but what surprised me was that the breath below seemed even thicker.
If I'm not mistaken, the thing that can enhance our strength should be down there. I couldn't wait any longer and called out to the Thunderclap Brothers, then slid down first.
The cave entrance is not very deep, only more than four meters high. After going down, there is a long passage inside, and the air becomes thicker as you walk further in.
"Wow! It's so comfortable in here!" At this time, the flower snake was excitedly crawling around behind, marveling at the same time.
I don't have time to enjoy all this now, I just want to find the source of this breath as soon as possible. After crawling over 100 meters, I finally reached the end of the cave, but I didn't see anything. The cave is smooth and empty, where did this breath come from? Can it be from the soil?
However, I couldn't find it at that time, and I wasn't in a hurry to go out. Da Zhuang was still injured, and if I let it breathe and exhale down here, I thought it would be very helpful for its injury.
Dazhuang himself understood, so he directly lay down on one side and slowly started practicing the Tu Na method. Xiaozhuang and Huashe, the two of them, made a ruckus for a while before also lying down to practice the Tu Na method.
At this time I asked Ao Lei: "Have you found anything?"
Ao Lei shook his head and said: "I didn't find anything either, this place is really strange!"
But as soon as the words fell, a loud voice came from the front of the tunnel: "This way you will definitely not find it, this hole was dug by us before, but it took us a lot of time!"
I didn't expect them to recover so quickly, now they have walked right in front of us. What surprises me is that this hole was actually dug by themselves, isn't that a bit too exaggerated?
They had recovered their strength by now, but I was on guard, in case these guys suddenly turned against us and killed us off.
It seems to have sensed my tension, the giant alligator said: "You don't need to be careful about us, you've saved us before, we won't repay kindness with enmity. Moreover, I'd like to invite you to stay in this cave and increase your strength together."
Hearing it say that, I felt a lot more at ease. However, it invited us to stay in this cave, and I knew it must have seen potential in me and Ao Lei, so it wants to wait until our strength increases before going with them to kill the Black Water Divine Snake.
But I didn't say it out loud, after all, this Black Water Mystic Snake said it would come back to take revenge on me. Now that they are willing to let us improve our strength in this cave and will also go with me to kill the Black Water Mystic Snake, such a good thing, I naturally agree.
"So I said: 'Alright, we'll live here from now on, but what I want to know is, what's here that can help us increase our strength?'"
The giant alligator looked at the ground and said, "Its secret is right here underground. We also searched for a long time before finding this secret. The shape of this passage was dug out according to the shape of this thing. Can you guess what it is?" The earth surrounded and hummed.
I didn't expect this guy to be just like a human, and he even started selling suspense. I thought about it for a while, but I still couldn't figure out what kind of thing could be so long. He dug a hole over 100 meters deep, so that means this thing is also over 100 meters long.
Since I couldn't guess it, the giant alligator told me the answer. It took a deep breath and said: "This is a dragon corpse!"
