After getting rid of the bandits' bodies, Tong-Kuang started to take care of the valuable things that Ga-Mu-Long forced people to give him to pass the toll booth. Things ranged from a hundred thousand monster crystal coins to five thousand lower-level Qi energy stones…

There were also countless lower-level armor and weapons. A few of them were of the mid-level…

"The pervert probably collected these things for many years. Look how much they are." Yan-Yu said while staring at the pile of treasures…

"Yeah! And they got to get laid a lot too. It makes me feel quite jealous of them somehow!" Ji-Zhung-Gong said with jealousy…

"Alright! We still have to do a lot. Our mission is to seize their Cave of the Immortals. I don't want you to focus on these treasures. Why don't you two take these treasures back to our clan? And then we'll start moving forward tomorrow." Tong-Kuang said firmly…

"Yes, brother Tong-Kuang!"

Back at the Forbidden Forest of the Tian-Tang clan…

Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian had been moving from one spot to another constantly. It was quite far to get to each spot, so it consumed a lot of time…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

"Quick, Jin-Tian. We're about to get there." Zheng-Fu said while turning back to look at Jin-Tian…

Roar!

The man and the monster had become connected because they had been through a lot together for the past three months. They ate, slept, cultivated energy, and fought side by side because Zheng-Fu intended for Jin-Tian to get stronger and stronger…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Another day had gone and Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian finally reached the next spot. They saw a big swamp in front of them. Zheng-Fu felt that the place was unusually peaceful…

That was because there was no life around the place. No animals came out to drink from the swamp. Zheng-Fu could also feel some kind of energy under the water too. The energy seemed to be about his level…

Clomp!

"Be careful, Jin-Tian! There's definitely something wrong about this place." Zheng-Fu said while trying to sense the place…

There were no animals or any living things within many lis radius of the swamp. Even the energy that he detected earlier under the water already disappeared. That started to chill him very much because he was confident that something was in there earlier…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian started to walk toward the swamp slowly and carefully. The spelled rock was in the middle of the swamp too. If he wanted to absorb the dark energy from the rock, he needed to get closer to the spell patterns first…

Splash!

"Whoa!"

All of a sudden, a sound of ripples occurred as Zheng-Fu was about to reach the spell patterns startled him, so he exclaimed out of shock. But when he looked back at where he came from, he saw nothing strange, but the ripples that moved quite unusually…

"Darn! It's just the sound of ripples. Can't believe I just scared myself there. Phew!" Zheng-Fu said while taking a long exhale with relief. However, he remembered that since there was nothing in the water, there should not be anything that caused those ripples…

"Jin-Tian! Get prepared!"

Boom!

The second Zheng-Fu finished the sentence, huge bodies of something emerged from the water. Each of them had a long body. There were some spikes on their back too. It seemed like the tails came with spikes too, but they were not as big as the ones in the back…

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

"Those are the Gluttonous Alligators!" Zheng-Fu said shockingly as he saw that the things that emerged from the water were the Gluttonous Alligators…

The Gluttonous Alligators had a high ability to disguise themselves because their skins could prevent the Qi energy wave from leaking out, so it was not easy to detect them…

They were the kind of monsters that were so rare to find. Hunters normally staked out for them because they wanted the alligators' skins to make armor for the disguising effect…

Their bones and parts could be used to make medicines as well. The pills that were made from the alligators' parts could disguise energy waves for a while. Martial artists could also benefit from the pills when they practiced disguising techniques…

"Their levels aren't far from ours, Jin-Tian!" Zheng-Fu turned to Jin-Tian before smiling dryly.

Roar!

About 10 Gluttonous Alligators were at either the eighth or ninth levels of the Golden Core stage. It said pretty much that they had been in the swamp for a long time, judging from their high energy levels. Their bodies were also much larger than the usual Gluttonous Alligators…

Zheng-Fu was not surprised to see how unusually huge they were because he had seen something similar before with the Giant-Clawed Hermit Crab Monsters…

Hiss! Hiss!

These Gluttonous Alligators looked at Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian like they had been starved for a long time. They drooled with no shame at all now…

"There are too many of them. We must lure them apart first." Zheng-Fu said determinedly and got ready to make a move…

Whoosh!

Splash! Splash! Splash!

When Zheng-Fu finished the sentence, he soared toward his left-hand side instantly. Jin-Tian, at the same time, moved to its right-hand side…

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

When the Gluttonous Alligators saw that, they started to hiss louder and split into two groups to go after Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian…

"Now, Jin-Tian!" Zheng-Fu sent a signal to Jin-Tian to attack the alligator instantly…

Stab! Stab!

After Zheng-Fu saw that the Gluttonous Alligators split after him and Jin-Tian, he used his superior speed to jump up and land behind the alligators and attacked them without them realizing it…

Thud!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Two of the Gluttonous Alligators died instantaneously. They were the ones with the lowest energy levels, so they did not see things coming. When the rest of the alligators saw that, they sent out mean sounds with anger. Then they aimed to get Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian immediately…

Whoosh!

Stab! Stab!

"Argh!"

Then Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian switched their places to take care of the Gluttonous Alligators in the back of the group. The result was they successfully killed another two of the alligators…

"Superb, Jin-Tian!" Zheng-Fu smiled out of the joy of being able to attack the enemies with the special technique that he specially developed for him and Jin-Tian. They had been practicing the technique for a while and it was a success even the first time they used it…

At this point, four Gluttonous Alligators were slain. The latest two were at the eighth level of the Golden Core stage. They were not fast enough to expect the deadly attack as well. Now the rest of the alligators were enraged to see another two of them down. It made them extra angry and fierce…

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The energy waves that were released from the Gluttonous Alligators stirred the atmosphere around the area. They also caused violent ripples in the swamp…

"Jin-Tian… It seems like they have become so mad at us now. Let's finish them quickly!"

Roar!

Zheng-Fu started to get more serious because the furious Gluttonous Alligators in front of them were at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage. There were also six of them, which was quite a lot for him to take care of at the same time in direct attacks…

Whoosh!

[The Twelve Constellations technique]

Stab! Stab!

"Argh!"

Zheng-Fu and Jin-Tian did not wait for the alligators to attack them first. He used the Twelve Constellations technique to attack the first Gluttonous Alligator, with the help of Jin-Tian's sharp claws. The Twelve Constellations technique was a high-rank skill, so it was very efficient…

The impact of Zheng-Fu's technique was so impactful enough that it killed the other two monstrous alligators that were next to the first one instantly. Now there were four of them left…

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The four Gluttonous Alligators started to hiss in rhematic patterns. It was like they were sending some kind of signals to one another…

Boom!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

"What is that!? It's so huge!" Zheng-Fu exclaimed out of utmost shock when he saw the size of the Gluttonous Alligator that just emerged from the water. And it was the leader of the swamp…

Boom!

The gigantic tail of the leader of the swamp hit Zheng-Fu instantly. But luckily, he could escape the attack well. The impact of the attack caused a big hole in the ground…

Whoosh!

"That was an unfair move, you alligator monster!" After being able to escape from the tail attack, Zheng-Fu stood up and started to yell at the leader of the swamp with an upset tone of voice…

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The leader of the Gluttonous Alligators hissed with frustration when Zheng-Fu could escape from its attack. Then it started to hit Zheng-Fu with its tail again…

Roar!

Grab!

But as the monstrous alligator was about to hit Zheng-Fu with its tail, Jin-Tian, who was on the other side of Zheng-Fu, jumped to bite the alligator with all its strength. The tail of the leader of the Gluttonous Alligators started to bleed…

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The Gluttonous Alligator moaned out of pain from the wound. Then it lifted its tail to shake Jin-Tian off, so Jin-Tian was sent up in the air and landed on the ground hardly…

Boom!

Roar!

"Little Jin-Tian!"
