Fight

He didn’t know how long he had been running, but Tan Tu suddenly slowed down, and the wind blowing gradually became gentle. Su Ce covered his face with his hands. By the time Tan Tu came to a complete stop, the air around him was already very still.  

 Tan Tu shook the long hair on his back and roared to the sky.

 Su Ce slowly slid off Tan Tu’s body. In front of him was a swamp, surrounded by all kinds of strange and tall trees. He didn’t recognize any of them.

 Tan Tu shook his body and turned into a strong man, with long golden hair hanging straight behind his back, but it was different from before… This time, he had a furry leather coat on his body.

 No matter how many times he saw it, Su Ce found it very magical. After staying here for a long time, he realized that after the orc turned into a human form, it was up to him to decide whether he had clothes or not… he transformed it spontaneously with fur.

 Tan Tu held Su Ce’s hand and looked at the swamp in front of him with sharp eyes, feeling tense all over.

 Su Ce was pulled forward. At this time, he was standing more than ten meters away from the swamp. When he looked around, he could only see a dark and sticky thing, and he could not see anything else clearly.

 Tan Tu, on the other hand, looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy and looked quite nervous.

 Su Ce looked up at the big man beside him and asked, “Tan Tu, is this where the deep-water giant crocodile is?”

 Tan Tu nodded, still holding Su Ce with one hand, then squatted down, grabbed a branch on the spot, and threw it into the swamp——

 In an instant, the swamp at started to roll up, and a giant covered with mud emerged from it. It opened its mouth and bit the branch with a “thud” – no, it didn’t just bite it, it almost turned the tree branch into crumbs. Su Ce could almost see the cold sharp teeth in its mouth, shining with a terrifying light.

 Su Ce was immediately speechless. The dangerous aura made it difficult for him to breathe even for just a moment.

 Tan Tu was quite calm. He pressed Su Ce’s shoulder and said in a deep voice, “Ah Ce, that’s the one.”

 Su Ce took a deep breath.

 It turns out that what Tan Tu needs to hunt is such a terrifying creature…

 He only glanced at it and made a rough estimate. The giant crocodile was several meters long, not to mention the leather armor that was covered in knots and looked extremely hard at first sight.

 Su Ce’s fingers were trembling a little. He reluctantly grabbed Tan Tu’s arm calmly and said, “Tan Tu, how…are you going to fight it?”

 Tan Tu put his chin on his head and rubbed it, and said, “Of course I’ll jump in.”

 Swamps are indeed a paradise for creatures such as crocodiles, but for a beast like Tan Tu whose shape is a golden lion, I am afraid that gravity alone will make it easy to sink in and be unable to jump out…

 ​Is it really okay?

 Su Ce visually inspected the depth and breadth of the swamp and frowned.

 No matter how you look at it, Tan Tu doesn’t look like he can win…

 Tan Tu touched Su Ce’s face, half-crouched and put his forehead against his, “Ah Ce, don’t worry, I can defeat it.”

 Since Tan Tu said this… Su Ce felt that he should believe him.

So he said, “Then let’s set up a trap first.”

 Fortunately, because the deep-water giant crocodile is an extremely xenophobic creature, anyone who comes close to this swamp will be viciously devoured by it. Therefore, except for this giant crocodile, there are basically few other creatures nearby.  

 In this way, as long as Su Ce pays attention when Tan Tu jumps into the swamp to fight the giant crocodile, there will probably be no problem.

 However, a trap still needs to be laid.

 Su Ce didn’t know how to do this at first, but because he had frequent contact with Mo La, he learned a little from him. Mo La had a good relationship with the people of the Mayan tribe, and his trap making skills were also good.

 Time is limited. The giant crocodile has just dived in. If you don’t provoke it, it won’t come up in a short time.

 Su Ce took off the arm-length scimitar from his waist, climbed up the tree nimbly, and cut the vines wrapped around it. The work of digging the hole below was left to Tan Tu – if he had to do it by himself, it would probably take a while to dig it, and there was no way to trap a creature that was too big, so it wouldn’t work here.

 Thinking like this, the two of them divided the work and cooperated. Soon, Tan Tu dug five or six large pits and surrounded an open space. Su Ce also cut many vines, branches and the like, and used the knotting method taught by Mo La to roughly weave them into large turquoise carpets.  Then he picked a lot of nearby wild grasses and covered them, and then spread them on the surface of the deep pit dug by Tan Tu, decorating it with soil, so that it would not look much different from the surrounding land.

 While Su Ce was setting up the trap, Tan Tu was not idle either.  He ran very quickly to a distance, and after a slight shock, he came back with several large wooden boards on his shoulders, which were at least an inch thick.

 ​…What is this for?  Su Ce thought for a while, and when he cast his eyes on the swamp, he immediately understood Tan Tu’s thoughts.

 Indeed, as a land creature, Tan Tu does not have the skills to survive in the swamp and can only rely on swimming to fight it.  However, the chances to fall into the swamp is too strong. In order to ensure a higher winning rate, it is still necessary to have something to stand on as a guarantee.

 This wooden plank will probably be used as a raft by Tan Tu…

 Just as Su Ce thought, Tan Tu picked up a few wooden boards and piled them on the edge of the swamp. Then he turned around and made a gesture to Su Ce. Su Ce knew that this was to ask him to protect himself.

 Su Ce nodded and said “be careful”. Tan Tu responded with a grin, and his expression turned serious.

 A bright light seemed to burst out from his golden eyes, and Su Ce vaguely even felt that a thin black line opened between them, turning the human eyes into animal pupils——

 Su Ce sat carefully in the middle of the trap, holding the scimitar firmly in his hand, paying attention to the surrounding situation and Tan Tu’s actions.

 Tan Tu was very different from usual when he was hunting.

 Normally, Tan Tu was gentle and honest in front of Su Ce. He didn’t know how to be romantic, but everything he did made Su Ce feel that he was trying to please him – even though most of them made him laugh but it made him feel very warm.

 When Tan Tu was hunting, every inch of his muscles seemed to be soaked with strength, and every movement seemed particularly tense. At this time, Tan Tu’s skills were very strong, and every jump he made was full of ferociousness and was dazzling, whether in human or animal form.

 Su Ce is also a man. In such a primitive and savage world, he also yearns for power.

He saw Tan Tu reach the edge of the swamp in just a few steps. His movements were light and graceful, making him seem to be seeing the light and graceful lion with powerful momentum.

 Then, his pupils shrank.

 It’s about to begin!

 In order to successfully catch the prey, Tan Tu put all his energy into the swamp from the moment he turned around. He held five or six heavy wooden boards in his arms, walked to the edge of the pool, quickly looked at the environment of the swamp, and then threw it hard – in an instant, all the wooden boards scattered and fell into the swamp. The next moment he squatted down, exerted his strength and suddenly jumped onto one of the pieces!

 Not a sound was heard.

 Su Ce’s eyes widened and he held his breath.

 Perhaps because of sensing the smell outside, the swamp suddenly started rolling again! A large amount of muddy water emerged from the surface of the pool and quickly overflowed to the shore. A huge mouth moved to the wooden board at Tan Tu’s feet and bit hard at the wooden board – Tan Tu’s two arms were holding the crocodile’s upper and lower jaws.

 At this moment, the distance between the two-inch-long teeth of the giant crocodile and Tan Tu’s face was less than one centimeter – it was blocked by the orc’s huge strength and could not move at all.

 The giant crocodile’s eyes are a scarlet yellow, and flashed with a cruel light. Its mouth was clamped and unable to move, but that did not dispel its ferocity——

 Almost at the same time, more bubbles floated on the surface of the swamp, and a body like a tawny dry branch suddenly appeared, followed by a whip that looked like a giant tail with barbs and swept over, shattering the plank in one fell swoop! 

 Tan Tu still clamped the giant crocodile’s bloody mouth, and with all his strength, he jumped up with the giant crocodile in tow!

 His strength is so strong that he even lifted a giant crocodile!

 This scene was so dangerous, Su Ce couldn’t help but tighten his fingers while holding the handle of the scimitar.

 Tan Tu…

 But the male, who his mate was worried about, dragged the giant crocodile onto another board and continued to approach the swamp shore – the giant crocodile struggled desperately, but was unable to use its full strength because of the restriction of its huge mouth.  All it could do was sweep around with its tail, splashing up balls of mud…

 Tan Tu finally came to the wooden board closest to the shore and pounced hard – he finally jumped onto the shore!  At the same time, he raised his arms high – Su Ce could almost see his moving muscles – and threw the giant crocodile backwards, slamming it onto the rocks on the shore!

 The softest part of the giant crocodile’s abdomen was hit and smashed to pieces.  As soon as Tan Tu showed up, he turned into a huge golden lion, biting the throat of the giant crocodile fiercely, and then grabbed hard with his sharp claws – starting from the belly of the giant crocodile, he cut it open completely –

The internal organs inside are like water, flowing with blood…

 Su Ce was stunned…

 It obviously only took less than half an hour to fight, but the battle was so thrilling!
