Chapter 76: Yue E
Li Meng grinned and slapped the Swamp Crocodile King’s lower jaw.
“I am indeed a goblin, but I am a goblin who keeps his promises!”
The Swamp Crocodile King opened its big mouth half-believing.
Although it wasn’t very smart, it knew what to do to stay alive.
With a grin, Li Meng crawled into the Swamp Crocodile King’s big mouth without hesitation.
Then he followed its tongue into its throat.
Inside the sticky throat, he found the iron rod that was stuck.
“Ah!”
On the ice, the Swamp Crocodile King let out a roar of pain.
After a while, Li Meng crawled out of the Swamp Crocodile King’s mouth holding the big iron rod.
“It stinks!”
The stench on his body made Li Meng roll his eyes.
Li Meng stabbed the big iron rod into the ice layer.
With a “ka” sound, the ice layer shattered into pieces.
Li Meng lunged forward and plunged into the water with a splash.
The Swamp Crocodile King’s huge body also crawled into the water.
This scene was witnessed by the goblins and Lizardmen not far away.
When they saw the boss crawl into the Swamp Crocodile King’s mouth.
The goblins were startled.
But before long, the boss crawled out of the Swamp Crocodile King’s mouth again.
They were all puzzled, not understanding what had happened over there.
At this moment, the water not far from the shore began to ripple.
A shadow appeared beneath the water.
Suddenly, the boss’s head emerged from the water.
First the head, then the neck, then the body, and finally the feet.
At the very end, under his feet was the giant Swamp Crocodile King.
“Let’s go, time to go back!”

Li Meng leaped down from the Swamp Crocodile King’s head.
He landed steadily on the small island.
The Lizardmen and goblins on the island looked at the Swamp Crocodile King in horror.
They retreated repeatedly, terrified.
But the Swamp Crocodile King did not attack them.
Its huge body crawled in the shallow water area, following behind the boss.
“The boss got a new underling!”
Goblins were silly, but not stupid.
They quickly realized what had happened.
The goblins on the island looked excited, shouting loudly.
The female Lizardmen beside them looked shocked.
The Swamp Crocodile King actually submitted to that goblin?
The Swamp Crocodile King was the most terrifying lord beast of the Northern Marshlands.
Although only a fifth-tier magical beast, its strength surpassed most sixth-tier magical beasts.
In the Northern Marshlands, the Swamp Crocodile King was the true king of the marsh.
And now, the king of the Northern Marshlands had submitted to that goblin warrior.
Amid the cheers of the goblins on the island, Li Meng led the Swamp Crocodile King away.
“Boss, you can sit on my back, that would be faster, you’re too slow!”
Following Li Meng, the Swamp Crocodile King let out a dissatisfied snort.
The boss’s speed was too slow, making it uncomfortable to follow.
Li Meng stopped, turned, and walked toward the Swamp Crocodile King behind him.
Then he climbed up onto its back along its leg.
As soon as Li Meng sat down, the Swamp Crocodile King sped up.
It crawled in the shallow water area with splashes of water everywhere.
Sitting on the Swamp Crocodile King’s back, Li Meng looked up at the sky.
The sun had not yet set, but a half-moon was already hanging in the sky.
“From now on, I’ll call you Yue E.”
Li Meng felt that “Yue E” was a very suitable name for the Swamp Crocodile King.
“Boss, call me whatever you like!”
Just like that, the Swamp Crocodile King got a new name.
“Yue E, can you still evolve?”
Although Yue E looked very large.
It was indeed very large!
Its body length was nearly 45 meters, with a shoulder height of about 4 meters.
But the tail alone accounted for almost half its length.
“Yes, consuming magic crystals can make me stronger!”
When magical beasts in the forest died, their magic crystals would be eaten first.
This was a natural ability of magical beasts.
“Low-tier magic crystals probably don’t help you much.”
Yue E was a fifth-tier magical beast. One or two-tier magic crystals should be of little use.
“They are useful, just need to eat more of them!”
Quantity leads to qualitative change?
Li Meng thought of those magic crystals embedded in the rock walls of the goblin cave.
Although most were first-tier magic crystals.
They were just right for feeding Yue E.
“Yue E, why do you only have one magic skill?”
Yue E was indeed strong, yet it only had one magic skill.
Li Meng instinctively felt that Yue E’s talent wasn’t great.
“Boss, I am a genius. I’ve never seen another of my kind who can use magic.”
Having only one magic skill was also called a genius?
Li Meng rolled his eyes while sitting on Yue E’s back.
But thinking about it, magical beasts with magic skills were indeed rare.
Most magical beasts only had enhancement skills.
Their combat style was more inclined to close combat.
Several hours later, the Wooden Stockade Stronghold island.
“Not good, big crocodile is coming!”
Suddenly, panicked shouts rang out on the island’s northern shore.
A goblin looked as if it had seen a ghost.
It stumbled and ran toward the boss.
Nearby goblins turned their heads to look.
With this glance, the giant creature in the depths of the northern marsh made their faces change.
“Not good, big crocodile, big crocodile!”
Like a stone dropped in calm water, it caused a thousand ripples.
The goblins ran amok on the island.
They wanted to run but were afraid.
After running a short distance, they ran back again.
More goblins ran toward their boss.
“What are you afraid of, all of you stand guard at the water’s edge!”
Gobu Zhang came over in big strides due to the commotion on the north shore.
It kicked over a goblin who was screaming loudly.
The arrival of the boss gave the nearby goblins a backbone.
They gathered behind Gobu Zhang.
“It’s not a big crocodile, it’s the boss’s boss, boss, it’s the boss’s boss!”
A brave goblin at the water’s edge danced and cheered.
“What are you talking about?”
Gobu Zhang was confused.
Looking carefully into the distance, Gobu Zhang’s pupils contracted.
It was a big crocodile, it was the boss!
“The boss is riding the big crocodile back!”
Standing by the water’s edge, Gobu Zhang shouted excitedly.
Only then did the goblins on the island notice the boss on the big crocodile’s back.
“The boss’s boss is back!”
“The boss is back!”
The goblins quickly ran to the shore, shouting excitedly.
The commotion on the north shore attracted the Lizardmen’s attention.
They looked curiously toward the northern marsh.
With this look, all the Lizardmen showed disbelief.
In the depths of the northern marsh, a giant Swamp Crocodile was approaching.
Its running caused a huge commotion, splashing water everywhere.
“That’s… the Swamp Crocodile King?”
“How could the Swamp Crocodile King submit to the goblins?”
Only the Swamp Crocodile King possessed such a gigantic physique.
Lizardmen living in the marshlands were not unfamiliar wit the Swamp Crocodile King.
The Swamp Crocodile King was a sacrificial beast worshipped by the three Lizardmen tribes of the Northern Marshlands.
Offering themselves as food to the crocodile was the ultimate fate of all elderly Lizardmen.
