The towering figure exuded an overwhelming presence, causing the surrounding Goblins and Lizardmen to retreat continuously.

Li Meng set down the Goblin underling in his hand, his gaze sweeping across the waters before him.

There was a scent of blood!

Faint, but it was the scent of Lizardman blood.

"Boss, it's in the deep water ahead. Two female Lizardmen who went in to drive the fish were eaten!"

Upon hearing this, Li Meng narrowed his eyes slightly.

His gaze fixed on the dark waters in front of him.

No wonder he could smell the faint scent of Lizardman blood.

It seemed that even the swamp wasn't an absolutely safe place for Lizardmen.

Hunting outside also came with dangers.

While hunting, one could also become the prey.

After a while, Li Meng withdrew his gaze.

He glanced at the female Lizardmen on either side.

Finally, he locked onto a relatively plump female Lizardman.

Li Meng walked toward it.

"No, no!"

The female Lizardman seemed to realize what Li Meng intended to do.

It shook its head in terror, stepping back repeatedly.

Li Meng grinned, advancing toward it.

Reaching out with his right hand, Li Meng grabbed the shoulder of the female Lizardman.

Then, with force, he threw it toward the deep water.

"Ah!"

A terrified scream echoed.

The female Lizardman flew out.

The immense force sent the female Lizardman flying over a hundred meters.

"Plop!"

The female Lizardman plunged into the water.

A massive column of water splashed up.

The female Lizardmen on the shore looked at the Goblin Soldier in fear, afraid they would become the next bait.

Li Meng switched the rod to his left hand, waving the Big Iron Rod with his right.

At this moment, the female Lizardman in the water was thrashing violently.

The impact of entering the water left the female Lizardman in a semi-conscious state.

Her body instinctively struggled in the water.

Her struggle caught the attention of a massive creature in the water.

Looking down from the sky, a gigantic shadow appeared beneath the female Lizardman.

"Ha ha ha, found you!"

Li Meng on the shore suddenly let out a wild laugh.

His figure flashed, shooting out like a cannonball.

Stepping on the water, the surface instantly froze.

Running on the water, Li Meng plunged one end of the Big Iron Rod into the water and lifted it upward.

White mist billowed out, rolling forward.

Where it passed, the water surface froze instantly.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred-meter radius centered around the female Lizardman was frozen.

"Boom!"

At the moment the water surface froze, the ice layer where the female Lizardman was shattered with a roar.

A massive, menacing mouth broke through the ice.

The female Lizardman fell into the gaping maw along with the shattered ice.

"Ha ha ha, just wanted you to show yourself!"

Li Meng grinned menacingly, his figure flashing.

"Bang!"

The immense force from his foot shattered the ice beneath him.

Li Meng's robust body shot out like an arrow.

In an instant, he crossed dozens of meters, kicking the giant mouth's chin.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound echoed.

A wave of air exploded.

The ice shattered, and a massive figure was kicked out of the water by Li Meng.

It was a swamp crocodile, magnified five times—the swamp crocodile king.

It was nearly forty meters long, its massive mouth capable of swallowing a small car whole.

"Freeze!"

Landing on the ice, Li Meng raised his right foot high and stomped down.

Billowing white mist howled out, transforming into a wave that swept across a large area of water.

Where the white mist passed, everything was frozen.

The swamp crocodile king, kicked into the air, hadn't yet fallen back into the water.

The water surface beneath it was already frozen.

Suddenly reaching out with his left hand, Li Meng caught the falling female Lizardman.

Meanwhile, several dozen meters away, the massive swamp crocodile king crashed heavily onto the ice.

It slid across the ice for dozens of meters before coming to a stop.

[Swamp Crocodile King (Elite)]

[Level: 31]

[Strength: 617]

[Defense: 711]

[Agility: 458]

[Magic: 391]

[Water Bullet: LV7]

"How can this guy's attributes be so high?"

The information about the swamp crocodile king left Li Meng with a look of surprise.

At level 31, it had such terrifying attributes.

"Could it be related to the 'Elite' suffix?"

Li Meng thought of a possibility.

Perhaps after reaching level 100, one becomes elite level, and the level starts increasing from zero again.

At this moment, the female Lizardman held by Li Meng woke up.

She was still a bit dazed, shaking her head.

Li Meng released her.

"Go back to the shore!"

The voice in her mind made the female Lizardman pause.

She came to her senses, quickly turning and limping toward the direction of the island.

At this time, not far away, the swamp crocodile king flipped over and got up.

"Roar!"

It turned around, opening its massive mouth to roar at Li Meng.

It was angry, very angry.

Its huge pupils were blood-red.

Facing the swamp crocodile king's roar, Li Meng grinned.

He swung the Big Iron Rod, pointing it at the swamp crocodile king.

Since coming to this world, he hadn't had a proper fight.

The swamp crocodile king wasn't too strong, but it wasn't weak either.

It was an excellent sparring partner.

"Come on, big crocodile!"

The swamp crocodile king's huge pupils narrowed.

"Ugly Goblin born from a Groundhog's belly, you're courting death!"

The swamp crocodile king roared again.

Li Meng grinned menacingly, provocatively swinging the Big Iron Rod.

The "Heart Speech" skill was indeed useful.

Even if the magical beast didn't have high intelligence, communication was possible.

To outsiders, the swamp crocodile king was just roaring.

But in Li Meng's ears, it was a language.

To be precise, the swamp crocodile king's roar contained its thoughts.

"Goblin, I'll turn you into minced meat!"

The swamp crocodile king opened its massive mouth.

It seemed to be laughing, laughing at Li Meng's overconfidence.

In the swamp crocodile king's massive mouth, blue magical light flickered.

A mass of water balls surged forth.

The swamp crocodile king opened its mouth and spat, a massive water ball shooting out.

Its speed was so fast that it made a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air.

"Ha!"

Facing the incoming water ball, Li Meng let out a loud shout.

Swinging the Big Iron Rod, his body shot out like a cannonball.

At the moment of charging out, a wave of air exploded.

The ice beneath his feet cracked with a "ka" sound.

Li Meng transformed into an arrow, sprinting across the ice.

Swinging the Big Iron Rod, he heard a "whoosh."

A transparent Wind Blade shot out.

A visible wave of wind swept around.

In the sky dozens of meters away, the Wind Blade collided with the water ball.

The water ball shattered with a roar.

Turning into countless raindrops, it fell onto the ice.

This scene left the swamp crocodile king momentarily stunned.

It hadn't expected the water bullet to be broken.

"Roar!"

The swamp crocodile king let out an angry roar.

Its massive mouth opened even wider.

Finally, blue magical light flickered.

One water ball after another swept toward Li Meng like machine gun bullets.

"What the hell, are you kidding me!"

The terrifying speed of the water bullet release startled Li Meng.

His Wind Blade couldn't be released as quickly as the swamp crocodile king's.

Running on the ice, Li Meng dove to the left.

Two water bullets narrowly grazed past his feet.
