"This is really an interesting question. Why do these alligators never come ashore to attack human cultivators?" Suddenly realizing this question, Cheng Yu became interested. He hadn't thought about it before, but now that he thought about it, it was a little strange.
The swamp area was about a hundred kilometers wide. No one knew how many purple crocodiles there were, but no crocodiles had ever come ashore to attack humans.
Come to think of it, when the dozens of people came back, the crocodiles seemed to have given up the chase when they were more than ten meters away from the shore.
In order to verify his thoughts, Cheng Yu walked to the shore and stared at the crocodiles that were watching him.
It moved! The crocodiles started to move. Strangely, they only scurried around, not daring to get close to Cheng Yu.
"Ha! Interesting. Tell me, what are you guys afraid of?" When Cheng Yu saw the strange phenomenon, he stood up and ran along the side of the swamp.
"Big Brother, quickly look. That kid is running away. Should we chase after him?" Seeing Cheng Yu suddenly started running, Pointy Mouth said anxiously.
"Hurry up and follow him. Let's see what he's up to." Big Brother had also noticed Cheng Yu's strange actions. He brought his subordinates to hide in the thicket and followed Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu ran ten kilometers in one breath before stopping. He sat on the shore and observed the water.
"Why isn't he out yet? Could it be that they can't see it? "Cheng Yu had been sitting there for 20 minutes, but there was actually no movement on the surface of the water. Cheng Yu became anxious.
Cheng Yu picked up a stone beside him and threw it into the swamp. The surface of the swamp rippled a few times before nothing happened. Everything returned back to normal.
"Hey! What was going on? I used my body to feed the crocodile, yet it still hasn't come out? "Looking at the calm mirror-like water surface, Cheng Yu was puzzled.
When he saw the crocodiles had yet to come out, Cheng Yu suddenly released his aura. Pa ~ Pa ~ Pa ~ Suddenly, a dozen purple crocodile heads emerged from the swamp.
"So you sensed my presence through my aura? So 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 we fly, we will release our aura no matter what. Even if he used some concealment techniques, he wouldn't be able to completely conceal his 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 even the slightest odor, unless … "Seeing 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, Cheng Yu recalled the situation when the Kunlun cultivators passed through Death Swamp. Suddenly, Cheng Yu was ecstatic as he searched everywhere.
According to Cheng Yu's deduction, there must be something on the shore that made them afraid, so they didn't dare to go ashore. Just like what happened to the Kunlun cultivators, they must have brought this kind of thing with them. Therefore, those crocodiles would stay a dozen meters away from them and not dare to approach them.
"Big brother! What was that kid doing? Could it be that he has discovered us and is looking for us? "Broken Tooth saw Cheng Yu was looking around, so he spoke nervously.
"What a brainless fellow. We are so far away from him. How is it possible for him to discover us?" Big Brother angrily slapped Broken Teeth's head and scolded.
"Then … then Big Brother, what do you think he is looking for?" Broken Teeth rubbed his head and asked in confusion.
"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 head as he spoke happily.
"Impossible! I think he seems to have lost something, "Broken Tooth touched the two broken teeth in front of him and said.
"Pa!" Big Brother slapped him again, "You are addicted to calling you stupid, right? Have you ever seen someone who lost something and was still so happy?"
"Big Brother, you are saying that the thing he is looking for can pass through this Death Swamp?" Pointed Tooth suddenly spoke.
"Not sure. Perhaps!" Big Brother shook his head.
"D * mn it. What is it that made these fellows not dare to go 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 anxious.
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," Seeing Cheng Yu hiding on the tree and eating, Broken Tooth smacked his lips and said.
"Alright. However, tonight, you guys have to take turns to observe him. Once there is 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 this Death Swamp, they must not let their guard down and let him escape alone.
"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 this Death Swamp.
"Whoosh!" Cheng Yu flew down from the tree and leaped to the shore of the swamp. Through the bright moon, he looked at the purple lotus in a daze.
"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 threw the water away.
"Eh?" Just when the water in Cheng Yu's hand landed on a few short grasses that were growing at the edge 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!" 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 … "Seeing 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 at 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 appeared about ten meters away from the swamp.
Cheng Yu plucked a few short grass that had not bloomed and threw it down. The same situation occurred again. These alligators rapidly swam away. However, the distance they swam away was not as far as the effect of the flower.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Yu understood something. These short grass also had a strange stench. It was just that it wasn't that obvious. Normally, it would be hard for humans to smell it. However, these alligators had been absorbing the purple lotus' fragrance for a long 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 the short grass bloomed, the stench became a lot denser. Even he was able to smell it easily, let alone these alligators that 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 is he? " Big brother looked at the direction that Broken Teeth pointed at, but he didn't even see a shadow. He thought that he was still asleep. He rubbed his eyes, but there wasn't even a shadow.
"Just now, that kid sat there for a while. Now, he went back to the tree to sleep," Broken Teeth replied honestly.
"Just now, that kid sat there for a while.
"Pow!" "You idiot. Didn't I tell you to wake me up the moment he made a move?" Big brother was enraged. 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 handful 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 this too idle?
"En. Absolutely true, "Broken Teeth nodded his head and 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 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 and looked around. He didn't find anything strange. He looked at the water again. There was a weed that could be seen everywhere at the side of the swamp. So, he pointed at the weed and said, "Is it that weed?"
"This … should be it!" Broken Teeth also recognized the weed as he said weakly. "Pa!
Another slap. "Useless thing. Go back!" Big brother was angry as he turned around and left.
