Chapter 34

Stealing Crocodile Eggs

Even though the crocodile egg was very attractive to Agumon and Guilmon, they both chose to support Lin Chen after he made his choice.

With the guidance of the system map, Lin Chen and the others returned faster and more easily than they had come, and soon left the territory of the giant crocodile.

Moreover, when Lin Chen left, he also discovered that during the day, apart from the commander-level giant crocodiles entrenched in their nests, there was only one giant crocodile with the strength of a great general guarding the entire territory. It was clear that the giant crocodile that the crocodile demons had called out earlier was this one.

Back in the safe zone where they had hidden for several days, Liu Lin asked Lin Chen, "Are we going to hunt down those lone giant crocodiles on the outskirts next?"

"Wait!" Lin Chen replied.

"Wait?" Liu Lin asked, somewhat surprised.

"I don't want to give up like this. I want to see if there's a chance," Lin Chen continued.

Liu Lin nodded without saying anything more, walked to the side and began to sit cross-legged in meditation, expressing her thoughts through her actions.

Actually, Lin Chen had already planned to give up, but when he was leaving, he saw Agumon looking back repeatedly, and he couldn't bear to give up.

Ultimately, Lin Chen decided that if there was really no opportunity, he would secretly go deep into the territory of the Giant Crocodile without telling Liu Lin and Rou Rou, and forcibly steal the crocodile egg to allow Agumon to advance.

I just hope that Agumon can evolve when it's in danger, even if it's an incorrect evolution. As long as it evolves, there's hope for survival.

……

Deep in Poyang Lake, a little distance from the territory of the giant crocodile.

What should have been a vast wetland was completely devoid of moisture; countless small ponds had dried up, large patches of soil on the ground were cracked, and many plants had withered.

"Brother, this spirit seed isn't even fully formed yet, but its power is already so astonishing, drying up the surrounding environment like this. If it were to fully form, wouldn't it be worth twenty or thirty million?" Sun Shuang said with a joyful expression.

"That's right." Sun Yang nodded in agreement, then seemed to remember something, and his face turned ugly: "The spirit seed is about to take shape, but that damned rebellious son still hasn't brought me that ice-type magic tool. It's been so many days."

"Perhaps there was a slight delay on the way," Sun Shuang comforted him. "Even if my nephew can't make it in time, as long as that giant crocodile doesn't cause trouble, we can still subdue this spirit seed."

"According to the latest news, that giant crocodile just laid an egg, so it probably won't be able to come," Sun Yang said, a puzzled look on his face. "That giant crocodile is really strange. It's clearly a water-type demon, so why does it keep getting involved when we're trying to collect a fire-type spirit seed?"

boom!

As soon as Sun Yang finished speaking, the ground suddenly trembled violently, a red light shot from the ground into the sky, and an inexplicable wave began to spread outward.

……

"Was there an earthquake just now?"

A violent tremor startled Liu Lin and Rou Rou, who were meditating.

"Yes," Lin Chen replied.

"Little Orange, you've been observing the giant crocodile's movements," Liu Lin asked.

"Yes, apart from those two giant crocodiles, the others have all gone out to hunt."

……

The crocodile pseudodragon was sleeping in its nest when a sudden, violent tremor woke it up.

The crocodile pseudo-dragon, just awakened from its slumber, looked up in the direction from which the tremor came and saw a beam of red light shooting out. The drowsy look in its eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a ferocious crimson.

The crocodile pseudo-dragon emerged from its nest, surveyed the crocodile eggs scattered throughout the wetlands, glanced at the distant red light, and finally let out a tremendous roar.

A moment later, a giant crocodile, nearly thirty meters long, ran out of the wetland. The crocodile-pseudo-dragon roared at it a few times, as if giving instructions, before rushing towards the direction of the red light.

……

"Little Orange, if we really can't find an opportunity, let's go hunt those giant crocodiles that are at the warrior level!"

Before Liu Lin could finish speaking, another violent tremor came.

"Why is there another earthquake?" Liu Lin's eyes widened before she could finish speaking.

Lin Chen was so excited that his heart was pounding wildly, and he even rubbed his eyes, afraid that what he was seeing was fake.

In their sight, the False Crocodile Dragon charged out of the Giant Crocodile's territory, rushing headlong towards the location of a gradually disappearing red light.

"The opportunity has arrived!"

……

Upon returning to the small hillside next to the wetland of the maternity ward, Lin Chen and the others indeed found a giant crocodile lying in the center of the wetland, guarding the entire maternity ward.

"Sister Lin, let's proceed according to plan," Lin Chen said.

"No problem, leave it to us. You and Agumon be careful." Liu Lin said, climbing down the hillside and leaving with Rou Rou, Guilmon, and Gabumon.

Time ticked by, and Lin Chen and Agumon waited patiently behind the hill.

Suddenly, a series of roars came from outside, and the giant crocodile lying in the middle of the wetland immediately woke up.

Just as it was about to move, its gaze lingered on the huge crocodile egg in front of the nest for a moment, then it stopped and lay back down.

Liu Lin and her two beasts on the outermost edge did not hear the same vibrations as the giant crocodile running before, so they immediately increased their killing power, and the outermost crocodile demons suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

"roar!"

"roar!"

"roar!"

As a large number of crocodile demons died, the crocodile demons on the periphery once again cried out for help.

Finally, the giant crocodile guarding the center of the wetland stood up and rushed towards the outer perimeter.

"Agumon, it's up to you!" Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

Agumon crouched slightly, stomped its feet on the ground, and charged towards the crocodile egg in front of the nest like an arrow.

call!

Suddenly, a huge mouth full of fangs emerged from the mud in the wetlands and lunged at Agumon.

Agumon reacted quickly, leaping away from the attack as the Azure Crocodile pounced, then turning around and slashing with its claws, cutting the Azure Crocodile in two.

"Holy crap, there are still people left behind!" Lin Chen thought to himself in alarm.

Whoosh!

Just after Agumon dealt with the first Azure Crocodile Demon, another dark shadow emerged from the mud and pounced on Agumon with lightning speed.

Agumon reacted swiftly, dodging the attack with a sidestep, then turned and finished off the Azure Crocodile with another claw strike.

"Fortunately, they are all slave-level Azure Spirit Crocodiles!" Lin Chen remained extremely calm.

After the two crocodile demons died in succession, a strong smell of blood began to permeate the air of the wetlands. In an instant, more than a dozen crocodile demons emerged from all corners of the wetlands and began to attack Agumon.

Unfortunately, the result was obvious. Agumon exerted only a little force, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all of the dozen or so crocodile demons were killed.

At that moment, Agumon arrived in front of the largest crocodile egg.

The moment Agumon approached the crocodile egg, a flash of light appeared, and the egg vanished from its spot.
