Immortal God of War

Chapter 624 - 605 Terrifying Alligator Group_1

Although most of the crocodiles hid away, many were still killed along the way. In the blink of an eye,

「Five days passed.」

On this particular day, Dong Zhengyang glanced at Dongfang Wuheng and his companion, finally unable to resist sending a voice transmission to Qin Feiyang, "I’m really puzzled. Why are you still saving them?"

"They have their value."

"For example, right now, if they weren’t helping us, our situation would be even more difficult," Qin Feiyang replied in a low voice.

"Just for this?" Dong Zhengyang frowned.

Qin Feiyang said, "Of course not. They’ve plotted against us repeatedly, so I naturally can’t let them die too easily."

"I see." Dong Zhengyang finally understood.

So, that meant telling them to guard the rear was also an intentional act by Qin Feiyang.

He glanced sideways at Qin Feiyang, thinking, Your mind is truly difficult to fathom.

"Not at all!" Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile. "As long as they are my friends, I will give my all."

A chill ran down Dong Zhengyang’s spine. The implication behind his words was clear: To his friends, he could give his all; to his enemies, he could be ruthless.

Suddenly, Qin Feiyang halted, surveying the swamp, his expression clearly solemn.

"What’s the matter?" Dong Zhengyang, who was following behind, immediately stopped, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong reacted the same.

Suddenly, Qin Feiyang yelled, "Hurry to the shore!"

Everyone was startled, but without further questions, they rushed toward the small island opposite.

The small island, over three hundred meters wide, was quite large, overgrown with wild grass and dotted with shrubs.

WHOOSH!

In less than Three Star time, the seven of them landed on the small island.

"What happened?" Dongfang Wuheng looked at Qin Feiyang in surprise and confusion.

Qin Feiyang said solemnly, "I have a bad feeling. Shen Long, quickly retrieve the ancient log."

Shen Long nodded, bent down, firmly grasped the ancient log, and with a strong lift of both hands, instantly set it upright. Then, carrying the entire log, he ran to the center of the small island, planted it in the ground, and protected it with a Battle Intent barrier.

"A hunch?" Dongfang Wuheng, however, was dismissive upon hearing Qin Feiyang’s words. A hunch? Something so vague couldn’t be trusted, could it?

But what he didn’t know was that over the years, Qin Feiyang’s premonitions, although not always one hundred percent accurate, rarely turned out wrong. Nevertheless, Dongfang Wuheng didn’t bring it up, because he knew that even if he did, no one would pay him any attention.

They stood back-to-back, staring intently at the swamp, but as time slowly passed, nothing unusual happened.

Dongfang Wuheng said with a wry smile, "Junior Brother Qin, although I trust your words, I must say, sometimes hunches can be unreliable." He spoke diplomatically, not offending anyone, yet the sarcasm in his words was evident to anyone who wasn’t a fool.

THUD!

Before his words even faded, the swamp to their left exploded, mud splattering everywhere. A menacing crocodile, over thirty meters long, burst out of the swamp and into their sight.

Dong Zhengyang’s gaze hardened. "It’s that Alligator King!" he said gravely.

"How did it come out?" The group exclaimed in shock.

But this was only the beginning.

THUD!

Two more Dragon Crocodiles, each over thirty meters long, appeared.

"Damn it!" Shen Long swore. These were the two Alligator Kings they had been wondering if they had killed during their first attack!

Murong Xiong, however, smirked coldly. "I was just wondering how to lure them out. Now, let’s wipe them all out in one go!"

But, just as he finished speaking, more and more Dragon Crocodiles appeared. They floated on the surface of the muddy swamp, their massive eyes glaring at the group, all filled with a horrifying, menacing light! However, these Dragon Crocodiles only possessed the cultivation of War Emperors.

Murong Xiong shouted, "Attack!"

"Wait!" Qin Feiyang reached out and stopped him.

Murong Xiong frowned. "Wasn’t wiping them out your idea? Why are you stopping me now?"

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow. "I really don’t want to curse, but why must you be so obtuse?"

"You..." Murong Xiong seethed with anger.

Dong Zhengyang snapped, "Quiet down and let him finish."

Murong Xiong glared intensely at the two men, his hands clenched, rage threatening to overwhelm him. But eventually, he calmed down and looked at Qin Feiyang. "Fine, speak." Meanwhile, he sneered inwardly, Let’s see what kind of excuse you can come up with.

Qin Feiyang glanced at him, then at the menacing crocodiles. "For the past five days, very few menacing crocodiles have shown themselves. But now, not only have all three Alligator Kings appeared, but other Dragon Crocodiles are also emerging. No matter how I look at it, this is strange."

Hearing this, Dong Zhengyang and the others couldn’t help but feel alarmed and suspicious. Even Murong Xiong fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Shen Mei sent a voice transmission, "Could it be that they’re planning to fight us to the death here?"

Dong Zhengyang thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Unlikely. If they were truly determined to fight to the death, they would have attacked immediately upon emerging."

Qin Feiyang nodded, agreeing with Dong Zhengyang’s view.

At that moment, Jian Wei exclaimed, "Quick, look! Doesn’t that look like an island?"

"An island?" Qin Feiyang and the others were stunned for a moment. Then, they all turned to look in the direction Jian Wei indicated, a look of shocked disbelief appearing in their eyes.

Directly ahead, approximately a kilometer away, sat a vague silhouette wreathed in bloody mist. The silhouette was vast, likely over three kilometers across. At first glance, it truly did resemble an island. Whether it was indeed an island, however, was uncertain at the moment.

Shen Long sighed and shook his head. "If only there was no bloody mist..." Given their levels of cultivation, the distance of a kilometer would be insignificant if their sight was not hindered by the bloody mist.

Just then, another sudden change occurred! More roars echoed from the swamp to their right and rear. A quick glance in those directions made them all turn pale with fright!

In the swamps on both sides, more Dragon Crocodiles surfaced. Among them were at least ten that were an astounding thirty meters long! And the Dragon Crocodiles smaller than thirty meters were countless!

In other words, there were nine Alligator Kings at the War Ancestor realm here. Adding the previous three, that made a total of thirteen Alligator Kings! Each Alligator King exuded an incredibly terrifying and baleful aura!

But they didn’t move! They merely watched Qin Feiyang’s group from a distance.

Shen Mei’s face turned pale, her voice trembling. "Have we stumbled into the Dragon Crocodiles’ lair?"

"There’s no more doubt. This must be the Dragon Crocodiles’ main lair. Perhaps the Crocodile Emperor Qin Feiyang mentioned really does exist!" Dong Zhengyang said gravely, glancing at Dongfang Wuheng and his companion, a hint of mockery in his eyes. If they hadn’t followed Qin Feiyang’s advice five days ago to eliminate three Alligator Kings and numerous menacing crocodiles, they would undoubtedly be in even more trouble now. That was leadership. Compared to Dongfang Wuheng, Qin Feiyang was far superior. Had Dongfang Wuheng continued to lead them, it’s likely no one from Spirit State would have escaped the Netherworld alive.

Dong Zhengyang’s words plunged the area into a dead silence. Dongfang Wuheng and his companion also noticed Dong Zhengyang’s gaze. They felt a surge of shame and anger but suppressed it.

"Look! Why are there no Dragon Crocodiles ahead of us?" Jian Wei exclaimed again.

"None?" The others paused, then turned to look again, their faces instantly lighting up with wild joy. Sure enough, there were no menacing crocodiles blocking their path ahead.

But then, Qin Feiyang’s eyebrow twitched. He looked up towards the vague silhouette. Dragon Crocodiles blocked the other three directions, but the way forward is clear. Is there some hidden scheme here?

But at this point, they couldn’t afford to ponder on it. They had to push forward. After all, they faced thirteen Alligator Kings and countless War Emperor-realm menacing crocodiles. Even if they used every trick they knew, they stood no chance of winning.

At this thought, Qin Feiyang said without hesitation, "Shen Long, build the bridge!"

"What?" Murong Xiong looked stunned, then exclaimed in shock and anger, "Don’t you realize you’re sending everyone to their deaths?!"

Qin Feiyang retorted, "We’ll die if we stay here anyway!"

Shen Long, however, showed no doubt upon hearing Qin Feiyang. He immediately scanned ahead and quickly found a suitable spot. About eighty meters directly ahead, there was an earthen mound, perhaps twenty meters across.

Shen Long carefully set down the ancient log, forming the bridge. Then, without looking back, he scoffed, "Since some people are worried, I’ll scout ahead."

With that, he leaped onto the bridge without hesitation and darted towards the mound on the other side.

Meanwhile, Qin Feiyang’s gaze followed Shen Long. Although he insisted they push forward, he couldn’t be sure if other menacing crocodiles lurked in the swamp beneath the bridge. If there were, he would have doomed them all.

In the end, Shen Long managed to reach the mound successfully without a single menacing crocodile emerging in his path. And the menacing crocodiles to their rear and sides also made no move to block him.

"It’s safe! Let’s go!" Seeing this, Dong Zhengyang and the others were overjoyed. They jumped onto the bridge one after another, scrambling towards the other side as if fleeing for their lives.

But before Qin Feiyang jumped onto the bridge, he swept his gaze over the menacing crocodiles in the other three directions, a trace of doubt in his eyes. What are these Dragon Crocodiles planning? Are they really, as I guessed, planning to offer us to the Crocodile Emperor of this place? And where is that Crocodile Emperor hiding now?

BOOM!

The moment the entire group reached the earthen mound, the thirteen Alligator Kings suddenly attacked in unison, destroying the small island they had just left. Then, they began to close in on Qin Feiyang’s group again.

Qin Feiyang furrowed his brows and whispered, "They are forcing us to move forward. The Crocodile Emperor might be somewhere ahead."

"What should we do?" Murong Xiong asked in a panic.

"Do we have a choice?" Qin Feiyang managed a bitter smile and nodded at Shen Long.

Shen Long also gave a bitter smile, shook his head, and continued to build bridges.

After crossing several mounds in succession, they finally got a clear view of that vague silhouette. It was indeed a massive island with rolling hills, ancient, towering trees, resembling a peerless, monstrous beast lurking in the swamp.

A few moments later, they arrived at the last earthen mound. From here, the island was only fifty to sixty meters away.

The thirteen Alligator Kings still hadn’t attacked them, but leading the crocodile horde, they had cut off all routes of retreat.

Jian Wei frowned. "Do you think they’re trying to force us onto this island?"

"Hm?" Qin Feiyang paused, slightly taken aback, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Dong Zhengyang and the others fell silent, afraid of disrupting Qin Feiyang’s train of thought.

After a few breaths, Qin Feiyang’s gaze suddenly flickered. He looked up at the island ahead, a self-mocking smile slowly forming on his lips.
