22: Chapter 22 Thunder Abyss Crocodile

Late in the third night.

Inside the Body Sect, over a dozen Body Sect Elders and Disciples gathered. Everyone was clad in dark iron armor and wore black cloaks, with an aura of killing intent radiating from their bodies.

A moment later, Sect Master Du Busi, Lin Feng, and Jin Peng walked out of the inner hall. Lin Feng was in the center, with Sect Master Du Busi and Jin Peng standing on either side.

Sect Master Du Busi's gaze was like a torch, his eyes seeming to hide a raging beast, and his voice was steady and powerful.

"Everyone, our mission target this time is the Thunder Abyss Crocodile King in the Black Water Ravine of the core area, a powerful hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast."

"Our people have already scouted it out. In the Black Water Ravine, besides the Thunder Abyss Crocodile King, there are also five or six ten-thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodiles. Once the Spirit hunt begins, Old Jin and I will be responsible for the decapitation strike."

"The rest of you will be responsible for clearing out the remaining ten-thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodiles and the thousand-year or hundred-year trash. Is the mission clear?"

"Understood!"

The dozen or so people spoke in unison. Excitement appeared in everyone's eyes. These dozen people were all composed of Spirit Douluo and Titled Douluo; they were the absolute elite force of the Body Sect.

Even in the Spirit hunt that triggered the beast tide last time, many familiar figures could be found among them.

"Good, let's set off. Let's strive to complete the Spirit hunt before dawn!"

After Sect Master Du Busi finished speaking, he and Jin Peng took Lin Feng as the vanguard and flew at the very front, while the others lined up in a column behind them.

An hour later.

The Body Sect group arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest core area. After entering the core area, the number of powerful ten-thousand-year and even hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts increased.

Therefore, Sect Master Du Busi and Jin Peng led the team to hide their tracks, secretly infiltrating the Black Water Ravine, striving to strike like lightning and annihilate the Thunder Abyss Crocodile King in one fell swoop without alerting the enemy.

The Black Water Ravine was a long, narrow rift valley stretching across the southwestern edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

On both sides were dark basalt cliffs, cut into jagged outlines by unknown water currents. During the day, the ravine water could still show a bit of murky dark cyan.

Once night fell, the entire ravine stream completely turned into a jet-black ribbon winding along the deep valley floor, reflecting not a single bit of starlight.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Accompanied by flashes of black light appearing on the cliff top, a dozen people stood there in an instant. Sect Master Du Busi looked down from the cliff top; occasionally, a bit of eerie blue light flashed below the rift valley.

On the banks of the ravine stream, a large group of Thunder Abyss Crocodiles rested, with varying cultivation levels. There were three ten-thousand-year ones, and even more thousand-year ones.

"Act according to the plan!"

Sect Master Du Busi's voice was low, trying his best to keep his voice from being too conspicuous.

As soon as his voice fell, the others from the Body Sect turned into beams of light and scattered, landing in every corner of the Black Water Ravine to prepare.

Sect Master Du Busi looked toward the depths of the Black Water Ravine. The Thunder Abyss Crocodile King would only leave the Black Water Ravine to forage during the day, and at night it would rest deep within the Black Water Ravine. The three missing ten-thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodiles should be guarding its side.

"Xiao Feng, you should go with them too. Later, when Old Jin and I surround and kill the Thunder Abyss Crocodile King, you can attack with them and take care of that trash."

Sect Master Du Busi glanced at him and said indifferently.

"Alright, Sect Master, Old Jin, take care."

Lin Feng nodded, then found a hidden corner and headed down the cliff. Since he had experience surviving in the Star Dou Great Forest, he didn't make a sound while descending.

As everyone scattered, only Sect Master Du Busi and Jin Peng remained on the mountaintop.

"Old Jin, I'll deal with the Thunder Abyss Crocodile King later. After you take care of those three ten-thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodiles, come quickly to help me."

"Understood, Sect Master."

"Let's move..."

After Sect Master Du Busi spoke, he turned into a dark green stream of light and vanished from the spot, with Jin Peng following closely behind.

"Boom!"

Not long after, a sound that shook the mountains and rivers came from the depths of the Black Water Ravine, and vaguely, an angry roar could be heard...

"Roar..."

Following this loud noise, the entire crocodile swarm in the Black Water Ravine was awakened. Beast roars rose one after another, and the entire Black Water Ravine was in an uproar.

The crocodile swarm rioted. From over a dozen meters long to five or six meters, hundreds of them surfaced in the blink of an eye, then surged toward the depths of the Black Water Ravine like a flood.

As the crocodile swarm rioted, figures kept flying into the sky from the ambush points carefully laid out by the Body Sect. Demon Fist Douluo rose into mid-air and shouted loudly toward the Black Water Ravine:

"Body Sect members, follow this Elder and attack!"

After speaking, Demon Fist Douluo roared. His entire body's Soul Power surged, and his fists suddenly lit up, glowing with layers of luster like silver patterns, shining brilliantly.

His whole body grew significantly taller, tearing through his clothes. His silver-white physique was now over three meters tall, standing in the air.

The next moment, his figure moved like lightning, aiming at a ten-thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodile on the bank, and he struck fiercely.

With one punch, there was a loud boom. The ten-thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodile, over ten meters long, screamed immediately, its entire body completely exploding, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and broken bones splattering.

Amidst the splattering flesh, a glimmer of crystal seemed to flash. Demon Fist Douluo's eyes shone, a touch of excitement appeared on his face, and his figure swept over to collect it into his storage spirit tool.

This was Demon Fist Douluo, one of the top three Elders in terms of combat power in the Body Sect, with a Fist Spirit, a level 95 attack system Super Douluo.

Let alone a ten-thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodile, even against a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, Elder Demon Fist had the power to fight.

Among the bones and blood by the ravine stream, a deep black ten-thousand-year spirit ring floated in the air, particularly eye-catching amidst the rioting crocodile swarm.

"Kill..."

As Demon Fist Douluo took the lead in taking down the strongest Thunder Abyss Crocodile, the other Spirit Douluo and even Titled Douluo also made their moves, attacking the remaining two ten-thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodiles.

For a time, roars sounded one after another. All Body Sect members attacked with full force, and within a moment, the other two ten-thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodiles were also taken down.

Some thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodiles that couldn't dodge in time were also killed by the shockwaves. For a time, the battlefield was a river of blood, with corpses strewn everywhere.

Lin Feng also mingled in the crowd. Every time the Thunder Prison Vine behind him struck, a thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodile was sure to fall.

His striking speed was extremely fast. The scarlet tribulation light flashed like lightning and thunder. Under the cover of the bombardment of the crowd in the dark night, he was like a vicious venomous snake—seemingly ordinary, but actually hiding the danger of death.

The Body Sect came out this time with a cloud of experts. The ordinary thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodiles were like they were experiencing a massacre; in less than ten minutes, they were all slaughtered.

Only some Thunder Abyss Crocodiles with low strength luckily survived, diving into the mud over ten meters deep at the bottom of the Black Water Ravine, thus escaping the crisis of annihilation.

The Titled Douluo of the Body Sect had no intention of dealing with these small fry. After cleaning up most of the Thunder Abyss Crocodiles, they turned their attention and headed to help the Sect Master surround and kill the Thunder Abyss Crocodile King.

Lin Feng looked at the remains of the Spirit Beasts covering the ground, a flash of heat appearing in his eyes. Without saying a word, he summoned the Shadow Demon Scythe.

In an instant, a thick black mist shrouded the entire battlefield. Countless Qi and blood, along with the Thunder Abyss Crocodile Spirit Beasts' souls, were swept into the black mist by the storm.

Gradually, a blood-colored storm kicked up in the center of the battlefield.

"Wooo..."

Those three powerful ten-thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodile Spirit Beast souls hissed and roared, resisting with all their might, and all bit toward the Shadow Demon Scythe.

"Hum"

The Shadow Demon Scythe vibrated. Following that, chains of shadow, like celestial star locks, pierced through the Thunder Abyss Spirit Beast souls one after another, dragging them into the Scythe's body.

No matter how strong you were in life, after death, your souls all return to my control!

A look of excitement flashed across Lin Feng's face. This trip was truly worthwhile; he had unexpectedly harvested three ten-thousand-year Thunder Abyss Crocodile Spirit Beast souls all at once.

There were numerous thousand-year and hundred-year Spirit Beasts, a huge quantity. Even the Qi and blood power formed a tornado, sucked into the Shadow Scythe blade by the storm. The harvest this time was more than what he had gained in two months in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Just as he intended to catch up with the main force and head to the depths of the Black Water Ravine to help the Sect Master, an old voice suddenly rang out in his mental sea.

"Little Lin, don't be in a hurry. There are still many good treasures here..."
