Chapter 347: It’s Important to Be Self-aware
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The voice of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] was very vague, as if there was something in its mouth, but one could vaguely hear that it seemed to have said the word “strong”.
Wang Xiao blinked twice with a subtle expression. His first reaction was that he had misheard. He looked at the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] and probed, “What did you say just now?”
. Strong!”
The [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] repeated again. Although it was still a little blurry, it was much clearer than before!
“It can talk!”
A thunderclap sounded in Wang Xiao’s mind, and his eyes almost popped out!
It had been a long time since he subdued the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]. He actually did not know that this fellow could speak!
However, on second thought, Wang Xiao felt that this matter seemed to be very normal. After all, ever since he signed a contract with the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon], the other party had often displayed “intelligence” that was different from ordinary mutated beasts.
For example, it would refuse to work without praise in the beginning. Another example was his combat talent that was almost on par with Wang Xiao.
Moreover, almost every time Wang Xiao spoke, as long as the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] was present, it would respond. This proved that it could understand human language. Coupled with the fact that it had been around him for a long time, it did not seem strange for it to learn to speak.
Just as Wang Xiao racked his brains to explain himself and try to make him accept this situation, Turk frowned almost immediately when he heard this answer.
“Strong?”
Turk pointed at Wang Xiao and did not hide the mockery on his face. “He’s only a level three lord now. How strong can he be?”
The [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] blinked and did not speak, but Turk seemed to understand what it meant. He asked tentatively, “You mean… his potential is very strong?”
The Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon still did not speak, but it nodded in affirmation.
Seeing this, Turk revealed a look of realization. “It’s indeed very illogical for a new lord, especially a beast tamer lord, to have so many high-level mutated beasts in the early stages. However, this might only be his luck and not directly related to his potential, right?”
Strong.”
The [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] spoke again. Other than its strange voice, it sounded almost no different from a normal person.
..Alright, I understand.”
Turk was silent for a moment before nodding. He bowed again and assumed a
combat posture. His tone instantly became cold. “Looks like if I want to bring you back, I have to prove that I’m stronger than him…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the light beside Turk distorted and the [Undead Swordsman] appeared again!
A powerful aura swept out and Wang Xiao instantly returned to his senses. He was only stunned for a moment before he was also prepared to fight.
“Let’s compete.”
Turk hooked his finger at Wang Xiao expressionlessly. “Soldier to soldier, lord to lord… Let’s see who’s stronger!”
The end of the word “strong” was still floating in the air. The soil under Turk’s feet exploded a few meters high, and his figure instantly arrived in front of Wang Xiao!
Such terrifying speed was something that even silver and even low-level gold soldiers could not compare to. However, a human could actually do it, that is if the modified Turk could still be considered a “human”.
Without any time to think, Wang Xiao quickly squatted down and dodged the first attack. At the same time, he used his hands and feet to hug the thigh of the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon.
At the same time, the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon understood tacitly and spread its wings. A strong wind suddenly forced Turk back a few steps, and his body had already turned into black lightning that soared into the sky!
In an instant, the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] had already arrived a hundred meters in the sky, but it had no intention of slowing down at all. It was still flapping its wings crazily and climbing higher into the sky.
This was a countermeasure Wang Xiao had long thought of.
It was important to know one’s limits. Wang Xiao was a level three lord and the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] was at level one platinum. He had almost no chance of winning against Turk and the level seven platinum [Undead Swordsman].
Not even the heavily injured [Undead Swordsman].
Previously, the [Heaven Slaying Sword] of the [Undead Swordsman] had really traumatized Wang Xiao too much.
Therefore, he had never thought of killing Turk alone from the beginning. He only needed to think of a way to stall for time and lure Turk over after Zhou Xiruo and the others finished setting up the base.
The key to this was to first go outside the other party’s attack range, but he could not let Turk discover the base being set up in the wasteland.
Therefore, high altitude became Wang Xiao’s only choice. After all, Turk did not have any flying soldiers… right?
As Wang Xiao pondered, he climbed onto the back of the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon with ease. Just as he stabilized himself and turned around, he was almost dumbfounded!
A huge bird with a wingspan of more than ten meters and was as black as ink was chasing crazily behind. On the back of the huge bird stood two figures. Who else could it be but Turk and the [Undead Swordsman]?
“He actually has flying soldiers?!”
Wang Xiao’s mind buzzed. There was no need to mention the regret in his heart. He had almost thought of all the possible accidents, but he had forgotten to confirm the situation of Turk’s soldiers!
Even Lang Lina had the scarlet insect fog. It was obvious that it was impossible for Turk to only have one soldier, but Wang Xiao did not even think about it…
This mistake was really too low-level. It was so low that Wang Xiao could not believe that he would actually make such a mistake!
“I’ll write a 10,000-word self-reflection when I get back… No! 20,000!”
Wang Xiao silently set up a punishment for himself, but the premise of the punishment was that he could return alive.
Turk had already caught up, so it was too late to regret.
Wang Xiao frowned and thought of a countermeasure. However, he did not expect the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon to suddenly slow down.
This was not because the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] had taken the initiative to slow down, but because the surrounding air suddenly seemed to have become viscous. Even though the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] flapped its wings crazily again and again, its speed still inevitably decreased rapidly.
After Wang Xiao sensed the abnormality, he was slightly stunned before reacting. They should have already arrived at the border of this secret realm.
In other words—there was no way up.
“Get down!”
Wang Xiao decisively changed his route. The Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon turned around and began to dive towards the ground again.
Seeing this, Turk immediately ordered the soldiers to change directions and still followed closely behind Wang Xiao, maintaining a distance of about 200 meters.
The [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] could not shake them off after turning around a few times. Wang Xiao was immediately a little anxious, but he discovered a strange phenomenon at this moment.
200 meters was definitely within the attack range of the [Undead Swordsman], but for some reason, it did not attack.
To Turk, killing Wang Xiao as soon as possible was definitely the best solution. However, the [Undead Swordsman] had yet to move for a long time. This was clearly not in line with his plan.
“Could it be…
A thought flashed through Wang Xiao’s anxious mind, and a bold idea surged into his mind..
