The triangular tip of the water pattern was slowly approaching the direction of Lu Liran and Ke Ji.
Lu Liran’s pupils shrank suddenly!
“Get up the tree! Get out of the water! Quick!” He shouted in a low voice and said quickly. At the same time, he retreated and climbed up a nearby white tree. He immediately pulled his legs out of the water and fixed his body between the branches.
He hurriedly turned to look at Ke Ji, and saw that Ke Ji was also looking at him. The two exchanged glances and looked underwater.
They saw the triangular water pattern stopped not far from the white pillar wood where Lu Liran was, and remained motionless until the undulating water pattern disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Liran narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice when he saw this: “Most swamp animals can hold their breath for a long time in deep water and wait patiently for their prey to swim near their hunting grounds. So now I am not sure whether the thing we saw has left.”
He looked at the drone lens and explained: “The most common triangular water patterns we saw just now are snake anacondas and swamp crocodiles, but judging from the width of the water patterns, it may also be some kind of swamp predatory fish.”
“Let’s wait patiently for a while.” He said, “If we don’t make any movement, it may leave on its own after a while.”
[Okay Brother Lu!]
[Fortunately, Brother Lu reacted quickly and climbed up the tree first. If it were me I’d still be racing…]
[Laughing to death, racing is okay]
Lu Liran shook his head with a smile, and waited for about ten minutes. Seeing that there was no movement in the water around him, he said: “Maybe it left.”
He turned to Ke Ji and made a gesture to Ke Ji, telling Ke Ji to wait for his instructions. He then used a knife to cut off a nearby branch about the thickness of two fingers, and gently threw it into the water.
Hearing the sound of water, a pointed head suddenly emerged from the water, biting the branch with one precise bite, and easily snapped it off with a “click”.
Lu Liran took a breath, he jumped up from the tree instinctively, and quickly climbed up to get some distance.
He just watched that thing under the water bite off the branch and then pop back into the water, and a pair of yellow eyes that seemed to be hidden in the dead wood surfaced.
“Swamp spiny crocodile!” Lu Liran recognized it and called out softly, “This guy can really hide…fortunately, I didn’t go down directly, otherwise that branch would be my end.”
The swamp spiny crocodile has a long, pointed mouth and long spines on its outer carapace, hence its name.
[Fuck, fuck, fuck ah! Scared me! Caught off guard, a big mouth opened!]
[Crocodile! Really a crocodile!?]
[These big sharp teeth are really gnashing…]
[Help, what should we do? Brother Lu is trapped in a tree?]
[I have an immature suggestion, I want to see a battle between humans and crocodiles]
[Brother Lu: Thanks for the invitation, no cue]
Lu Liran twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered: “If I can avoid it, I still don’t want to deal with it underwater. Of course, I don’t want to deal with it on the ground either.”
“This kind of guy can reach a speed of 60 kilometers per hour in a short distance on land. I’m afraid I can’t outrun it.”
He narrowed his eyes slightly, he looked around, looking for a way to escape, and said at the same time:
“The bite force of a crocodile is amazing. The bite force of a swamp spiny crocodile like this can reach two thousand pounds, enough to crush bones or turtle shells, but it’s mandibular depressor muscle is much weaker than its developed masseter and adductor muscles.”
He carefully observed the movements of the spiny crocodile and continued: “The strength of its mouth opening can be easily stopped by an adult holding it with both hands, but the threat of a crocodile that cannot open its mouth is much smaller.”
“That being said, it doesn’t mean that I plan to do this.” Lu Liran changed the subject.
The swamp spiny crocodile is a trouble and potential danger, and he doesn’t want to waste a lot of energy on it before completing the task.
He would rather avoid it.
He pointed at a few white ash trees in front of him that might have been knocked down by the hurricane. Several thin and tall bald trees were pressed against each other, forming a natural bridge crossing.
“I’m going to go from there.” He told the camera.
“These white wood are resistant to water, and the corrosion is not serious. They should be able to withstand my weight.” He said, turning to look at Ke Ji.
The situation on the other side of Ke Ji was a little more troublesome than him. There were no branches that he could climb on, and he had to swim at least ten meters into the water to reach the white wood on the side pointed by Lu Liran.
Lu Liran frowned and then heard Ke Ji say: “Cover me.”
Lu Liran reacted and nodded immediately.
He flipped onto the white tree a little further away from Ke Ji, then broke off the roots of the tree, and slapped the water surface hard. At the same time, Ke Ji saw the right time to enter the water and swam quickly towards the group of white trees.
The underwater swamp spiny crocodile was attracted by the sound of Lu Liran slapping the water. Its thorn-like dark brown carapace slightly surfaced and swam quietly nearby.
Lu Liran hung the branch high, and watched the adult crocodile break out of the water, open its mouth and bite into the branch.
It’s gaping bloody mouth was particularly horrifying under the high-definition of the drone lens. They could even see the remaining flesh and blood stuck between its teeth. When it opened its mouth, Lu Liran could smell a fishy stench coming towards his face.
The spiny crocodile bit off the tree stick in one bite and seemed to have noticed Lu Liran’s repeated teasing. After it entered the water, it dived underwater and soon disappeared from Lu Liran’s sight.
Upon seeing this, Lu Liran immediately reminded Ke Ji: “It’s gone! Swim quickly!”
After he finished speaking, he quickly climbed up the white wood and followed Ke Ji as he moved quickly.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Lu Liran climbed on the tree and could clearly see the triangular ripples under the swamp rushing towards Ke Ji’s direction very quickly.

When Lu Liran saw this, he was about to jump into the water, but Ke Ji stopped him: “Stay above!”
Lu Liran pursed his lips. His current height was unable to attract the attention of the adult spiny crocodile. He could only keep changing his movements, trying to get closer below.
The water ripples behind Ke Ji were approaching. Ke Ji could even feel a driving force coming from the water behind him. His pupils shrank slightly and he suddenly plunged into the turbid pool.
Lu Liran’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and as soon as he realized what was happening, the drone camera ball quickly got into the water.
The underwater vision was so poor that it was almost impossible to see what was inside, and everything was dim.
Lu Liran looked for Ke Ji through the live broadcast room.
But under such water, with the vision blocked, the sense of direction was almost lost. Lu Liran couldn’t help frowning, adjusting the drone’s tracking from time to time, and also crossing the crisscrossing tree roots under the water.
[Aaaahhhh, Brother Lu is using us as his sight again!!]
[Help, I can’t do this first-person perspective exploration plot!! Brother Lu, let’s be a man, wuwuwu—— ChickenCurry gifted the anchor 1x Sukiyaki Pot]
[I can’t see anything, aahh, where did the Beauty go?!]
[I wouldn’t suddenly see a severed hand or an eyeball emerging from the water, right…]
[It’s more likely to be bones, aahhh]
Lu Liran frowned. He glanced at the water, only to see that the triangular ripples on the water had disappeared.
If the spiny crocodile is floating on the water, it is not something to be afraid of, but once it disappears from sight and sinks into the water, it means that it is ready to attack.
Lu Liran’s eyes turned cold, and he couldn’t help but stand up from the tree slightly, holding on to the tree trunks on the left and right to steady his body and look inside.
The place where Ke Ji plunged headlong was a jungle of aquatic trees, with trees such as white ash trees and Luoshui trees growing thickly. There are entangled aerial roots and vines everywhere, making it difficult to see what’s going on inside.
Seeing this, Lu Liran instantly understood Ke Ji’s intention—— In such an environment, the spiny crocodile is most unsuitable for launching an attack, and it is also difficult to determine the location of its prey.
He realized that Ke Ji had entered the aquatic forest consciously, and his heart suddenly relaxed.
He looked back at the live broadcast room again, and the drone was still following inside, but even Lu Liran couldn’t tell where he was now.
“He should have come up already…” Lu Liran murmured in a low voice, his eyes locked on the aquatic forest.
Not long after he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of water and chaos coming from there.
Lu Liran frowned and quickly moved towards the source of the sound.
The drone also moved according to Lu Liran’s will and quickly found its direction and swam in.
The water is still turbid, but the increasingly dense underwater rhizome ecology is obviously not friendly to the audience outside the screen. There is always this illusion of being hit in the face, not to mention the turbid and yellow muddy water and the dead fishes with their bellies turned in front of the camera from time to time.
[Does it feel much faster? What’s the situation?
[Please ask for Brother Lu’s perspective, aaaahhhh, I don’t want to see underwater!!]
[+11111 Brother Lu is so bad, wuwuwu]
Lu Liran had forgotten that the drone was still underwater. He carefully moved closer to the aquatic forest and saw something seemed to be shaking in the dense forest, but he couldn’t see it clearly.
He frowned, and without any further thought or hesitation, he jumped directly into the water, plunged into the turbid water, and swam quickly.
The turbid yellow water in the live broadcast room suddenly burst into bubbles, and then the color of the water slowly turned red. Before the audience in the live broadcast room could react, it turned into blood red.
[I, fuck fuck fuck fuck, blood?! Whose blood?! What’s the situation!?]
[So much blood…no matter who it is, they will be cold, right?!]
[No way, the commander or Brother Lu, no one seems to be the one to fall prey to the mouth of the crocodile! I don’t believe it!!]
[Shit, let’s call the search and rescue team and first aid team first, right?! Maybe we can still save him]
[The drone is moving! So anxious!]
There was a commotion in the live broadcast room, and Lucio outside the live broadcast room was also frightened. He was about to contact the search and rescue team. As soon as the communication was connected, the operator’s questioning voice came over there.
Lucio was about to speak when he saw a giant object with a slightly blurry outline suddenly slowly sliding across the screen in the live broadcast room.
[Fuck fuck fuck, what just passed?!]
[I saw it too!!]
[It doesn’t look like it’s alive…dead wood?]
Lucio moved closer to the screen and was about to take a closer look at the dark brown unknown object. Unexpectedly, his eyes suddenly flashed, and a pair of cold fangs suddenly appeared on the screen.
He took a breath and leaned back so hard that he almost fell of his chair, and couldn’t help bit let out a low “fuck”.
“Hello, sir? What situation have you encountered? Please state your address…” The voice of the search and rescue team operator came from the other end of the communicator.
Lucio didn’t bother to listen, and saw the barrage filling the screen instantly, making it almost impossible to see the screen clearly.
[Mom, what kind of teeth are these! It’s too scary!!!]
[Barrage body protection!!]
[Is it that big crocodile? Is that it?!]
[I, fuck fuck fuck fuck, I’m in class!!! I yelled…then the professor smiled and asked me if I wanted to answer the question]
[Although I sympathize, I am laughing to death]
[Wait, this big crocodile doesn’t look alive to me??]
[I suddenly understood something…]
The barrage scrolled so fast that it filled the screen, and Lucio had to turn off the barrage display.
His eyes widened. A spiny crocodile that was more than three meters long was slowly drifting past the camera with its belly turned wide.
Only then did he suddenly realize that what had slid past was not a piece of dead wood, but its tail, and now its head.
The drone seemed to have reacted and swam closer again. The camera followed and adjusted to a close-up. It was only then that it was discovered that the head of the spiny crocodile had been punctured with several bloody holes, and there was even a sharp knife left behind.
“I go.” Lucio exclaimed in a low voice, but the murder weapon was still there.
He was just about to take a closer look to see if it was the dagger that the Great God used to use, when he saw a figure swimming over and quickly pulled out the sharp knife.
The drone’s lens immediately followed the figure rushing out of the water, and Ke Ji was seen with half of his off-white shirt mixed with blood and mud. He was holding the knife in his hand, grabbing a few hanging vines, he climbed slowly and forcefully up into the branches of the tree.
At his feet, the spiny crocodile slowly emerged from the water with its head raised to the sky.
Lu Liran was about to swim closer. He first saw the crocodile floating on the water. He was startled for a moment. When he looked closely, he realized that it was already a dead thing.
When Lu Liran saw this, he immediately raised his eyes to look for Ke Ji. He saw Ke Ji sitting on a branch of a tree, panting slightly. After meeting his searching eyes, he smiled at him.
Ke Ji gasped, he looked at Lu Liran with a smile and said: “Can Big Brother’s expanded backpack hold such a crocodile?”
Seeing this, Lu Liran relaxed his shoulders. After hearing Ke Ji’s question, he felt a little amused but also a little scared and thankful.
“You call my Big Brother so smoothly?” As soon as the tense nerves relaxed, Lu Liran said something softly, climbed up the white wood next to Ke Ji, looked at the other person’s body, and asked, “Are you injured?”
Ke Ji shook his head: “Just a scratched from its outer armor, nothing else.”
Lu Liran frowned slightly when he heard this, but before he could say anything, he saw Ke Ji took the initiative to lift his shirt, revealing a bloody mark on his waist and abdomen where the skin had been rubbed.
[Hiss!! It hurts so much!!]
[My mom, it’s badly mangled…]
[This spiny crocodile is really not a vegetarian]
[I don’t know for a moment whether I should say that the Beauty is too cruel, or that the spiny crocodile is too cruel…]
[There’s no comparison, okay. Although the crocodile was stabbed to death, it left such a large wound to the Beauty!]
[?]
[Okay, okay, Brother Lu is going to feel really distressed]
[Indeed]
Lu Liran frowned slightly when he saw this. He got closer and took a closer look. It was indeed as Ke Ji said. It was just scratched hard by the long thorn armor, and the injury was not serious.
The carapace of the spiny crocodile is as sharp as a razor, but fortunately it has no toxins, which makes the wound more or less susceptible to infection.
Lu Liran nodded slightly and said: “It’s not a big problem. From here on, try to move up the tree and don’t go into the water. Be careful of infection.”
[Hey, Brother Lu is so cold]
[I thought I could see the kisses fly away in pain (no)]
[Is this the love between AA? There is no need to be shy and hurt between strong A’s (?)]
[No, I have a reasonable suspicion that this is just Brother Lu being more stubborn. Haven’t you seen Beauty’s expression of almost heartbreak and loneliness? Hahahahaha]
[+1 I think Beauty purposely lifted up his shirt to show it to Brother Lu. He did it so proactively that Brother Lu probably didn’t even think to ask!]
[Hahahahahaha, when I think about it, I feel happy]
When Ke Ji heard Lu Liran’s words, he was silent for a second and nodded silently.
Lu Liran said: “You can rest here for a while while I take care of this spiny crocodile.”
“The smell of blood is likely to attract other uninvited guests, but the death of an adult spiny crocodile should also make those carnivorous scavengers a little more wary and not gather around so quickly.” He looked at the drone, and said to the camera.
“Unless there is something bigger than it here.” He added, but then quickly added, “However, the spiny crocodile is already considered to be quite a big creature among swamp creatures. Ones larger than it should be uncommon.”
After Lu Liran finished speaking, he looked around at the water surface, and after making sure there was nothing else underneath, he carefully slid down the water.
He swam to the adult crocodile with its belly turned upside down, took out the dagger, and opened its belly from the softest part.
[I never expected…the one who got cold in the end was the crocodile]
[It’s more than three meters long!! It was stabbed directly by the Beauty!?]
[Hey, all I can say is that he is worthy of being the commander…a violent beauty]
[Counter Kill (1/1) Fresh Food Acquisition (1/1)]
[Is it true that we can’t see Brother Lu eating bugs tonight—— CokeChickenWings gifted the anchor 1x Sushi]
[But I firmly believe that we can always see it in this issue! (make a fist)]
An adult crocodile usually weighs three hundred kilograms. Lu Liran could not carry such a heavy weight, so he could only cut out the parts he needed and store them first.
“There is no way to deal with the crocodile’s outer armor, so we have to give it up first.” Lu Liran said as he began to dissect. The picture once needed to be mosaic, but the Desolate Star live broadcast room did not have such requirements and functions.
“Crocodile meat is our main food source, but this spiny crocodile looks like it has been hungry for a long time. After removing the bones and outer armor, there is probably only a few dozen kilograms of edible meat, which can be eaten with a thin layer of skin on the surface. It is rich in colloid, which can supplement calcium and prevent osteoporosis.”
“Well, crocodile bones are actually very good. They can relieve rheumatism and bone pain, activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis. But the size is too big…”
[Yi! I want it!! Brother Lu, look at me!!—— NotShortofMoney gifted the anchor 1x White Truffle]
[Brother Lu, can you do a live auction?! Just like the fishing in the Barents Sea before!!—— RamenRolls gifted the anchor 1x Buddha jumping over the wall]
[Reconsideration! —— NotShortofMoney gifted the anchor 1x Buddha Jumping over the wall]
Lu Liran was shocked by the sound effect of Buddha jumping over the wall and glanced at the barrage.
“The Star Shuttle that can hold crocodile bones needs to be very specific, and it’s expensive.” Lu Liran said, “You can think about it yourself. I’ll put it up first. If you want it, you can just take a picture. No free shipping.”
[I also want the one-horned lizard dragon from before!!]
[Aahh, I want that too! It’s so beautiful!]
Lu Liran paid attention to the barrage and said: “That one is not for sale.”
He plans to give it to the Xian family caravan, and he believes the brothers will be very interested in this.
“The crocodile heart can improve the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular circulation system…not for sale.” Lu Liran put it away alone.
When he gets back to Solto, he can make medicinal meals in the Lu family’s apothecary. Taking a small amount of medicine at a time is good for the little boy’s heart recovery.
Although he can buy crocodile hearts in Solto, crocodiles have been farmed on a large scale for a long time, and farmed crocodiles cannot match the energy threshold of wild crocodiles. It’s only natural that what he gives to the little guy should be the best.
“Crocodile gallbladder detoxifies and calms heat, and is a good medicinal material.” Hang it up in the live broadcast room.
“Crocodile liver nourishes the kidneys and qi, and is a good medicine.” Hang it up in the live broadcast room.
“The crocodile claws generates new blood, nourishes yang and liver, is a good material for medicine, and is used for fine food and cooking.” Hang it up in the live broadcast room.
These three things are very troublesome parts to handle. Crocodile gallbladder and liver require additional processing before they can be eaten, and are mostly used for medicine. Crocodile claws are simply difficult to handle and have a low edible ratio. For Lu Liran, they are not cost-effective, even if they are not sold, they will be discarded.
Lu Liran peeled off the internal organs while taking out the edible crocodile meat piece by piece.
After finishing what he was doing, Lu Liran looked up at the situation in the live broadcast room and saw that the four things he had just hung up had been sold——
Crocodile bones for 50,000 star coins, taken in a piece; crocodile guts for 9,000 star coins; crocodile livers for 6,000 star coins; crocodile paws for 8,000 star coins each, all four of which were bagged by the same local tyrant.
Not long after, four star shuttles sent by buyers flew into the sky, and Lu Liran loaded these items and sent them out.
An adult spiny crocodile weighing less than 300 kilograms was dissected and dismembered by Lu Liran in full view of the public. In the end, only a relatively complete outer armor was left.
Lu Liran didn’t touch it, but wrapped all the pieces of meat in leaves and stuffed them into his backpack.
He rubbed his hands in the water to wash off the blood on them, and then said to Ke Ji: “Okay, we can set off.”
Ke Ji responded and stretched out his hand to Lu Liran. Lu Liran used his strength to turn over and climb directly onto the tree trunk.
“Be careful with your wounds and walk behind me.” Lu Liran reminded.
The aquatic forest in front of them was scattered in disorder, some were living trees, and some were long dead. They had to be extremely careful to avoid accidentally breaking the seemingly solid tree body and falling directly into the swamp below.
They were a little high away from the swamp water, and it would definitely not be a good thing if they fell. Besides, there is already a spiny crocodile here. Now that there is one big guy like this, there will be a second and third one. There won’t be much peace nearby.
The white ash trees and Luoshui trees that were knocked upside down by the hurricane were leaning against each other, like a natural network forest.
As long as they were careful, Lu Liran felt that they could even climb all the way from the tree to the destination path.
However, what Lu Liran and Ke Ji didn’t know was that not long after they left the swamp, the body of the spiny crocodile that was originally floating on the water suddenly sank and fell directly into the water, leaving only a string of bubbles on the surface.
