Translator: ryuxenji Editor: H2dH2mr Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into this vast and dense forest, giving it warmth, the originally peaceful green world once again awoke. All sorts of creatures in the forest crawled out of their nests to begin a new day — hunt and be hunted.
On the ground, a small, nameless, scaly animal was stealthily making its way towards its destination. It was very small, only about the size of two adult fists, but it had a flat tail that was twice as long as its body.
It had no choice but to be careful, because in this forest, 80% of the animals could easily kill it. Unfortunately, its meat was delicious — although it was small and did not have much meat, many powerful animals would not mind catching one for a sumptuous meal to whet their appetites.
Its final destination was the low-lying depression in front of it. This was a swamp, which was very suitable for it to live in, because its weight and shape allowed it to move freely in this swamp without sinking into it. Other than those powerful creatures that lived naturally in the swamp, no other animals could enter this place at all, which made it much safer.
Of course, most importantly, there was food for it here, which was also the main reason it wanted to sneak over. At the thought of this, it almost started drooling — the fish in the depression were just too delicious.
Finally, it successfully reached its destination, safe and sound along the way.
At this time, in the countless depressions, finger-length fish were swimming happily and freely, swimming from one depression to another. Because each depression was connected by countless tiny water lines, although they could not allow larger fish to pass through, they could not stop these tiny fish from swimming. They were greedily nibbling on the water plants in one of the depressions, unaware that their natural enemy had arrived, ready to feast on them to satisfy its appetite.
The scaly animal came to the swamp and quickly darted into one of the depressions. The fish scurried around in panic, but in their panic, they swam to a dead end, and in the end could only be eaten by the agile scaly animal.
After eating all the small fish in the depression, it climbed out of the depression. With a shake of its body, the water droplets that had originally covered its skin were all gone, and it was as clean as it had been before.
It rested for a while. Actually, hunting was not easy — although it looked like a simple action, it actually used up a lot of its energy. However, even as it rested, it still looked around cautiously, afraid that a powerful enemy would appear and eat it up.
Soon, it regained its full strength and lurked towards the next depression …
However, it did not notice that in the swamp not far away from it, a pair of cold eyes had long been staring at it, preparing to launch a sneak attack during its next hunt.
Just as it was about to dive back into the swamp to feast on the fish, the owner of the cold eyes made his move not far away. A thick black line darted out and swept across the swamp. The scaly animal had already disappeared without a trace. Only a crisp sound of something hitting the swamp could be heard. A water snake as thick as an adult's arm had appeared in the swamp. It was coiled into a ball, and from the looks of it, it was more than three meters long.
In its mouth, the snake-skinned creature's flat tail was desperately flailing about, but it was unable to do anything. Bit by bit, the snake-skinned creature was swallowed into its stomach, and finally disappeared.
The water snake raised its head, waiting for the food to completely enter its stomach. At that moment, a huge mouth suddenly appeared beside it. The sharp teeth emitted a cold light, and before the water snake could react, the mouth had already bitten down on its vital point.
Of course, the water snake was unwilling to die just like that. Before it died, its three-meter-long body tightly wrapped around the other party, trying to take the other party down with it. Unfortunately, its vital point was directly bitten, and it did not last long before it died. Its body slowly loosened.
At that moment, a huge creature crawled out of the swamp. It looked like a crocodile on Earth, but its body was bigger, and its limbs were longer and thicker than a crocodile's.
It was the king of this swamp, and its favorite food was, of course, the water snake that was extremely fast and good at hiding. However, water snakes were very difficult to catch. Once it was discovered, it would escape in an instant, and in the end, it would scurry into the swamp, never to be found again. Therefore, it could only wait patiently in disguise. And after waiting patiently for a day and a night, it finally obtained its spoils of war. Today, it could eat to its heart's content.
It raised its head, opened its mouth, and sucked the three-meter-long giant snake into its mouth, slowly chewing and swallowing it. Halfway through its meal, when half of the snake's body was still swaying outside its mouth, it suddenly glanced at a black shadow in the sky that was rapidly falling towards it from the corner of its eye.
Damn it, what is disturbing me, the king of the swamp, from eating? It did not even think about attacking. It was at the top of the food chain in this land, and no creature dared to have any ideas about it …
Before it could see clearly, it felt a bone-deep pain from its mouth directly through its body. It roared, which represented its anger. It was angry that there was a creature that did not have eyes and tried to hurt it. It wanted to use its sharp teeth to bite the creature into pieces, but it found that it could not close its mouth.
No, it was not that it could not close its mouth, but that a wooden stick had been inserted into its mouth without it knowing. It wanted to throw the stick away, but then it found that its body could not move.
Yes, it was as if it was fixed. Other than its struggling limbs, it could not move at all. It did not know what was going on. The anger in its heart was getting stronger and stronger. It wanted to roar, but it found that it could not even make a sound. Only then did it realize that it was in excruciating pain. The pain was unbearable from top to bottom. What was going on?
"So troublesome." With this voice, an extremely weak thing appeared on top of its head, and then its last memory was that the creature lifted its thin and weak foot and stomped down on its head.
Ling Lan pulled her foot out of the swamp king's head without any change in expression. She was not interested in watching this guy struggle before its death, so she was merciful and sent it on its way. She stepped on its skull and crushed it.
Seeing the white brain matter that covered the surface of her shoes, she no longer felt disgusted like she did at the beginning. At this moment, Ling Lan was emitting a murderous aura, like a king of the forest, no longer timid and weak.
Of course, with Ling Lan's current strength, it was impossible for her to fight this guy alone in the swamp. This guy's skin was as hard as iron, and Ling Lan did not have any weapons to pierce its skin. This was also the reason why it was able to resist the entanglement of the aquatic snake before its death. However, every creature had its weakness, and this swamp king also had one.
The swamp king's insides were very weak, so normally, the swamp king would not open its mouth, because there was only one way to attack its insides, and that was through its mouth. So Ling Lan hid in the swamp, waiting for the swamp king to hunt, and then when it was eating, she took advantage of that moment to use a small tree that she broke to stab into its mouth from above, straight to its tail, and kill it in one hit.
It was not easy for Ling Lan to do this. Many times, because of emotional problems, the swamp king sensed her killing intent at the last moment and dodged, causing her to lose the opportunity to kill it. For this reason, Ling Lan paid the price of death several times, and finally mastered the ability to hunt perfectly. The hardships of this were hard to describe.
