Chapter 169

"This is really an interesting question. Why do these crocodiles never come ashore to attack human cultivators?" Suddenly realizing this problem, Cheng Yu's interest was piqued. He hadn't thought about it before, but now that he thought about it, it was a bit strange.

This swamp area was about 100 kilometers wide. He didn't know how many purple crocodiles there were, but it seemed that no crocodiles had ever taken the initiative to come ashore to attack humans.

Thinking about it this way, when the dozens of people came back, these crocodiles seemed to have given up chasing after them when they were more than 10 meters away from the shore.

In order to verify his thoughts, Cheng Yu walked to the shore and stared at the dozens of crocodiles that were watching him.

They moved! The crocodiles moved. The strange thing was that they only scurried around and didn't dare to approach Cheng Yu.

"Ah! Interesting. Tell me, what are you guys afraid of?" When he saw this strange phenomenon, Cheng Yu stood up and ran along the side of the swamp.

"Big Brother, quickly look. That kid is running away. Should we chase after him?" When he saw Cheng Yu suddenly started running, Pointy Mouth said anxiously.

"Quickly follow him. Let's see what this kid is doing!" Big Brother also noticed Cheng Yu's strange action. He brought his subordinates to hide in the bushes and followed Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu ran for 10 kilometers in one breath before stopping. He sat on the shore and observed the water.

"Why aren't they coming out? Could it be that they can't see me? "Cheng Yu sat for 20 minutes, but there was no movement on the water surface. Cheng Yu became anxious.

"Pop!" Cheng Yu picked up a stone beside him and threw it into the swamp. He only saw the water surface rippling a few times. After that, there was nothing, and it returned back to its tranquility.

"Hey! What's going on? I used my body to feed the crocodiles, yet they still haven't come out? "Looking at the calm mirror-like water surface, Cheng Yu thought in puzzlement.

When he saw the crocodiles still hadn't come out, Cheng Yu suddenly released his aura. "Pa! Pa! Pa!" Immediately, more than 10 purple crocodiles popped out from the swamp.

"So it turns out that you were able to sense my existence through my aura? That means if I don't release my aura, I won't attract your attention? " Suddenly, Cheng Yu discovered an important piece of information. These crocodiles were able to sense the existence of human cultivators through their aura.

"But when flying, no matter what, you will still release your aura. Even if you use some concealment technique, you will still not be able to completely conceal your aura. Furthermore, these purple lotus flowers are able to increase the crocodiles' sense of smell, causing them to become very sensitive. They would be able to sense a bit of strange smell, unless … "When he saw these crocodiles were the same as the previous ones, having discovered Cheng Yu's existence, yet they kept scurrying about 10 meters away from the shore, he recalled the situation when the Kunlun cultivators had passed through Death Swamp. Suddenly, Cheng Yu became wild with joy as he searched everywhere.

Based on Cheng Yu's deduction, there must be something on the shore that caused them to be fearful. Therefore, they didn't dare to come ashore. Just like what the Kunlun cultivators had encountered previously, they must have brought something along with them. Therefore, those crocodiles would keep a distance of 10 meters away from them, not daring to approach them.

"Big Brother! What is that kid doing? Could it be that he has discovered us and is looking for us? "Broken Teeth saw Cheng Yu was searching everywhere, so he spoke nervously.

"Pa!" "Brainless brat. We are so far away from him. How is it possible for him to discover us?" Big Brother slapped Broken Teeth's head as he scolded.

"Then … then Big Brother, what do you think he is looking for?" Broken Teeth scratched his head as he asked puzzledly.

"Who knows what this kid is doing? Look at how happy he is. Could it be … "Big Brother shook his head unknowingly. Subsequently, a light bulb flashed in his mind as he spoke happily.

"Impossible! I think he seems to have lost something, "Broken Teeth touched the two broken teeth in front of him as he spoke.

"Pa!" Big Brother gave another slap, "You are addicted to calling you stupid, right? Have you ever seen someone who is so happy after losing something?"

"Big Brother, you are saying that the thing he is looking for can pass through Death Swamp?" Pointed Mouth suddenly asked.

"Not sure. Perhaps!" Big Brother shook his head.

"D * mn it. What is it that caused these people to not dare to come ashore? Should I catch a crocodile and try? D * mn it. The sky is already dark, "At this moment, Cheng Yu noticed that the sky had already turned dark. Far away, there was a bonfire lit up.

"Seems like I can only continue searching tomorrow," Cheng Yu was helpless. He could only stop searching for that mystical thing.

The sky was already dark. Although Cheng Yu was able to see at night, compared to daytime, it was still somewhat inconvenient. Since it was so, since he already had a clue, there was no need to be impatient.

Cheng Yu also found a big tree and sat on it. He took out some food and wine and started eating.

"Big Brother, that kid is resting. Let's eat something as well?" When he saw Cheng Yu was hiding on the tree and eating, Broken Teeth smacked his lips and said.

"Alright. However, tonight, all of you have to take turns to observe him. Once there's any movement, you have to inform me," Big Brother pondered and said. If that kid really had the ability to find a way to pass through Death Swamp, they must not let their guard down and let him run away by himself.

"Understood, Big Brother," The few of them took out the food that they had prepared and started eating.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Yu did not have any thoughts of cultivating. Firstly, there were too many people here, so he did not dare to enter a meditative state. Secondly, he had been thinking about the strange phenomenon in Death Swamp.

"Whoosh!" Cheng Yu flew down from the tree and leaped to the shore of the swamp. Through the bright moon in the sky, he looked at the purple lotus flower and was lost in thought.

"What exactly is the reason for the swamp's water, plants and living things to be so strange? And what is it that caused these alligators to not dare to come ashore?" Cheng Yu walked to the side of the swamp and scooped up the purple water as he pondered curiously.

"What cold water," Feeling that the water on his hand was very cold, Cheng Yu quickly flung the water away.

"Eh?" Just when Cheng Yu flung the water on his hand onto a few short grasses that were growing at the side of the swamp, a strange thing happened. When the moonlight shone on the short grasses, it actually emitted a white light. Following that, the small hairs on the short grasses actually blossomed. Every single stalk of short grasses revealed a pure white flower.

"Eh? So smelly! "He didn't expect that such a pure white flower would actually emit such a strange stench.

"Splash! Splash! Splash!" Cheng Yu suddenly saw a few alligators emerging from the water surface. After that, they flopped around and swam far away.

"Hey! Could this be … "When he saw this scene, Cheng Yu was pleasantly surprised.

Cheng Yu stood up and released all of his aura. After a while, there were still no alligators appearing on the water surface. Cheng Yu looked at the flower beneath his feet. After that, he plucked the short grass and threw it towards the alligators that had emerged from the water surface.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Sure enough, it was as Cheng Yu had expected. When the short grass landed on the water surface, those alligators swam far away.

"Haha! It's really you!" Finally, he found the answer he was looking for. Cheng Yu gathered all the short grass that had bloomed and used a restriction to seal it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to endure the smell.

After finding the answer, Cheng Yu's mood was very good. He turned around and prepared to return to the tree to sleep. However, after walking a few steps, he walked back again. The aura on his body burst out once again. This time, without the existence of the white flower, dozens of alligators immediately emerged about ten meters away from the edge of the swamp.

Cheng Yu plucked a few short grass that had not bloomed and threw it down. The same situation occurred. These alligators rapidly swam away. However, the distance they swam away was not as far as the effect of the flower.

When he saw this scene, Cheng Yu understood something. These short grasses also had a strange stench. It was just that it wasn't as obvious. It was very hard for humans to smell it. However, these alligators had absorbed the purple lotus' fragrance for a long period of time, causing their sense of smell to be a lot more sensitive than humans. They were able to smell the stench from tens of meters away. Therefore, when these alligators flew to tens of meters away from those Kunlun cultivators, they no longer dared to approach them.

However, after these short grasses bloomed, the stench became a lot denser. Even he was able to smell it easily, let alone these alligators who had a sensitive sense of smell. However, why were they so afraid of or hated this stench?

"Sigh! Forget it. What's the point of researching this? Everything in the world had a mutual repulsion. It wasn't strange for them to hate this stench. "

Cheng Yu did not delve into it any further. He jumped up the tree happily and went to sleep.

"Big Brother, Big Brother. That kid is making a move," After Cheng Yu returned to the tree, Broken Teeth quickly ran to his big brother's side and shook him awake.

"What? That kid is making a move? Where? "When he heard Cheng Yu was making a move, his big brother became excited as he crawled up and asked.

"Over there!" Broken Teeth pointed at the place where Cheng Yu was sitting.

"En? Where's that person? " Big Brother looked at the direction that Broken Teeth was pointing at, but he did not even see a shadow. He thought that he was still asleep. He rubbed his eyes, but there was still no one around.

"Just now, that kid was sitting there for a while. Now, he went back to the tree to sleep," Broken Teeth replied honestly.

"Just now, that kid was sitting there for a while.

"You idiot. Didn't I tell you to wake me up the moment he made a move?" Big Brother was enraged as he slapped Broken Teeth's head.

"Big … big brother, I … I thought he woke up in the middle of the night to pee. So … so I didn't dare to wake you up. However, I saw what he did!" Broken Teeth rubbed his head as he shrunk his neck back.

"Then what did he do?" Big Brother enquired curiously.

"He just sat there and threw a bunch of weeds!"

"So simple?" Big Brother was puzzled. Waking up in the middle of the night just to throw weeds into the water? Wasn't he just bored to death?

"En. Absolutely true, "Broken Teeth nodded his head as he said affirmatively.

"Weeds? Let's go and take a look, "Big Brother waved his hand as he brought Broken Teeth to the place where Cheng Yu was previously sitting.

"Big Brother, it's here. Just now, he was sitting here and throwing the weeds," Arriving at the side of the swamp, Broken Teeth pointed at the ground and said.

Big Brother stood at the side as he looked around. There wasn't anything strange. He looked at the water again. There was a bunch of weeds that could be seen everywhere at the side of the swamp. So, he pointed at the weeds and said, "It's that weeds?"

"This … should be it!" Broken Teeth also recognized the weeds as he said weakly. "Pa!

Another slap. "Useless thing. Go back!" Big Brother was angry as he turned around and left.
