Chapter 75: Toothpick Stirs the Sea
"Boom!"
Two water bullets struck the ice one after another.
A loud "rumble" was heard.
That piece of ice was directly shattered.
Two huge water columns soared high into the sky.
"Damn, water bullets are kinetic attacks!"
Li Meng rolled on the ice and got up, continuing to run.
Looking back, the terrifying power of the water bullets startled Li Meng.
If he tried to block them with the big iron rod, he definitely couldn't hold them off.
Running wildly on the ice, Li Meng dodged left and right.
One water bullet after another slammed into the ice behind Li Meng.
Pillars of water rose into the sky one after another.
"Fortunately, the bullet speed isn't too fast!"
While dodging the water bullets, Li Meng still had time for stray thoughts.
Water bullets were kinetic attacks, so their flight speed wouldn't be too high.
Li Meng appeared a bit frantic on the ice.
But in reality, he was quickly closing in on the Swamp Crocodile King.
"Ka!"
While sprinting, Li Meng stomped hard under his foot.
The ice instantly broke and sank deep into the water.
His body shot up like an arrow leaving the bowstring, rushing straight at the Swamp Crocodile King.
Seeing Li Meng leap to attack, a hint of mockery flashed in the Swamp Crocodile King's eyes.
It raised its head and opened its huge mouth, aiming at Li Meng.
Finally, a water sphere emerged, spinning rapidly.
Facing the Swamp Crocodile King's confident strike, Li Meng grinned hideously.
He suddenly hurled the big iron rod in his hand toward the Swamp Crocodile King.
With a "bang,"
A circle of air waves exploded.
The big iron rod turned into a black flash, instantly spanning dozens of meters.
It shot straight into the Swamp Crocodile King's mouth.
"Chi!"
The big iron rod deeply penetrated the Swamp Crocodile King's throat.
It was almost fully embedded.
"Ugh!"
The Swamp Crocodile King let out a wail.
It shook its head, its huge body swaying.
Trying to fling out the big iron rod in its mouth.
But it was useless, the big iron rod was firmly stuck in its throat.
"Wahaha, die!"
Li Meng, who had leapt downward, landed heavily on the ice.
With a "ka" sound, that piece of ice shattered with a "boom."
LV1 Ice Element Control was still too weak.
This caused the ice layer's strength to be insufficient.
Only slightly tougher than natural ice.
As soon as he landed, Li Meng rushed out again.
A swift step brought him close to the Swamp Crocodile King.
He swung his right fist, punching the Swamp Crocodile King in the face.
The Swamp Crocodile King's huge body staggered.
The massive force made it roll on the ice.
The big iron rod in its throat seemed to be making it very uncomfortable.
It couldn't even make a sound.
Li Meng waved his hand, and the air in front of him exploded.
A wind blade shot out, heading straight for the Swamp Crocodile King.
Only a few meters away, very close.
With a "chi," the wind blade hit the Swamp Crocodile King's scales.
The wind blade striking the Swamp Crocodile King dissipated instantly.
"Its defense is pretty good!"
You must know, a single wind blade attack could cut through a tree requiring two people to encircle.
Yet it couldn't leave any mark on the Swamp Crocodile King.
"Hey, big crocodile, want to be my underling?"
Looking at the big fellow before him, Li Meng was quite tempted.
With the Swamp Crocodile King as his underling, many things would be easier.
In the future, he could stride through the marshlands.
Even if the Black Mountain Tribe's army came, it wouldn't matter.
With the Swamp Crocodile King assisting, the trivial Black Mountain Tribe was not worth mentioning.
"Could this be the turning point to change the future?"
Li Meng grinned, feeling very expectant.
But thinking again, something seemed off.
There was no information about the Swamp Crocodile King in the future line, right?
What was going on?
"Wishful thinking, you monster born from a Ground Mouse's belly!"
The Swamp Crocodile King flipped over and got up.
It endured the discomfort and severe pain in its throat, ramming its head toward Li Meng.
Alright, it seemed even magical beasts hated goblins.
Li Meng's figure flashed, jumping backward.
He extended both hands and grabbed the Swamp Crocodile King's huge tail.
"Then I can only smash you to death!"
Li Meng exerted force with both hands, using his waist and hips together.
Holding the Swamp Crocodile King's huge tail, he swung it.
The Swamp Crocodile King's huge body was immediately lifted and slammed onto the ice.
"Boom!"
The thick ice instantly cracked into pieces.
The Swamp Crocodile King was knocked dizzy.
The big iron rod in its throat seemed to be wedged even tighter with a "ka."
Seeing that the ice layer was somewhat fragile, Li Meng grinned.
Holding the Swamp Crocodile King's huge tail, he dragged it toward a small island not far away.
"See that piece of land, there's a sharp big stone on it. I will smash your body against that big stone, bit by bit. You will be smashed into a bloody pulp. After you die, I will cut you open, and goblins will eat you completely, not even leaving the crap inside your belly. Hmm, letting you just die would be too easy."
Li Meng turned his head and gave the Swamp Crocodile King a ferocious grin.
"How about this, I won't let you die easily. I'll let you watch with your own eyes as your body is cut open by goblins before you die. I'll do my best to keep you alive until the end, watching your body get gnawed away by goblins bit by bit. Hmm, that would definitely be very interesting."
This was not a bluff, this was Li Meng's final offer for the Swamp Crocodile King to stay alive.
Submission was best, if not, then it didn't matter.
The Swamp Crocodile King's corpse was a good thing.
Gobuge, Gobuda, Gobuqiang had limited potential.
They needed high-level magical beast meat to evolve.
Li Meng intended to train these three underlings.
Li Meng's intimidation finally caused a trace of fear in the Swamp Crocodile King's eyes.
Death was not terrifying; living a fate worse than death was more terrifying than death.
"You are strong, I can submit to you, but I have one condition!"
Li Meng originally thought the Swamp Crocodile King would hold out for a while.
After all, it was a magical beast, and magical beasts had no brains.
If everything could be solved by "communication," why would there be so many wars among humans?
Unexpectedly, the Swamp Crocodile King did not persist at all.
As soon as the intimidation was spoken, it compromised.
Li Meng's footsteps paused, stopping his advance.
Standing on the ice, Li Meng grinned.
Having conditions meant it was already decided.
"Speak, what condition?"
Li Meng released the Swamp Crocodile King's tail.
He turned around and looked at the Swamp Crocodile King, which had regained its freedom and lay prone on the ice.
"I don't want to mate with goblins, I don't want to bear little goblins!"
The Swamp Crocodile King turned around in pain, staring straight at Li Meng.
The Swamp Crocodile King's condition left Li Meng speechless.
It seemed even magical beasts couldn't stand goblins.
"Alright, it's settled then, open your mouth."
This wasn't really a condition.
With the Swamp Crocodile King's massive size, anyone with it would be like a toothpick stirring the sea.
Even a large goblin leader wouldn't fit.
"that's settled then, you can't go back on your word."
"What, you don't trust me?"
"I don't trust goblins!"
