The Emperor is Above

Chapter 97 There is a snack tonight (Please subscribe, recommend, and collect)
Qing Yi's heart was filled with joy at this moment.

Pan Qing successfully absorbed the beastmaster skills from the Blood Wolf Tribe's beastmaster Kuxue Weng, and reorganized them and provided them to Qing Yi.

Obviously, the beastman training method provided by Pan Qing was quite different from the wild beastman training method mentioned by Shi Dazhu. At least it did not require the soul to be separated, thus avoiding the greatest harm.

With a more perfect beastmaster method of taming beasts and close to the millions of beasts in Jiming Lake, wouldn't it be a loss if he didn't quickly tame more exotic beasts?

However, he buried these thoughts in his mind for the time being and had to wait until the solitary hill was settled before he could proceed. Reluctantly, he watched the group of green rhinos on the other side of the river eat and drink their fill and leave. Qing Yi knew that there were more groups of green rhinos in the swamp.

After breakfast, the team continued to move forward. The river became wider and wider, from the original width of tens of meters to more than two hundred meters, and the number of sandbanks and grass beaches in the river gradually increased.

Especially on both sides of the river, there are more and more pools and ponds of all sizes, the grass accumulated over the years is more dense, and the ground is more muddy.

"The area ahead is a swamp, follow me around it!"

Shi Dazhu shouted loudly as he explored the way ahead, relying on the keen sense of smell of the seventh-grade giant-hoofed wild horse to avoid some dangerous swamp areas.

As he walked, he shouted, "Don't be fooled by the flat grassland ahead. If you walk on it, you will fall into a deep quagmire."

As if to verify his words, a lone wolf rushed out to hunt near the water hundreds of meters away, scaring the green antelopes by the water to flee nimbly. The lone wolf chased it but got stuck in the mud, and disappeared completely in just a few breaths.

"Oh my God, if someone gets trapped here, there's nowhere to find them!"

Da Niu couldn't help but shiver with fear. He followed the tire tracks carefully with his eyes wide open. Even though his feet were covered in mud, he didn't dare to step into places where no one had walked before.

Jiming Lake is full of dangers, but it is also filled with beautiful scenery.

With abundant water, the grass here grows much better than that near Huaiqiuli.

In the wasteland around Huaiqiu, the grass has just started to show its head, but here the ground is already green everywhere, and many bushes are even covered with small wild flowers, each with a different color and exceptionally beautiful.

"Cuckoo-"

Niu Niu was holding a bunch of colorful wild flowers given to her by Qing Yi, and was laughing happily in the carriage. The villagers had no time to think about this and were all hurrying on their way carefully.

As the sun set, the entire team had walked thirty miles, and almost everyone was covered in mud, and even the boats on the river were becoming increasingly difficult to navigate.

The river channel was almost 300 meters wide at this time, and the riverbed became shallower. The river surface was divided into pieces by sandbars and grassy fields.

The river channels between the sandbars are blocked by trees, tree roots, stones and other debris washed in by the autumn floods, making it very unfavorable for ship navigation.

Qing Yi was busy running around, fearing that the ship would run aground or the vehicle would get stuck in the mud.

When the lone hill came into view, not only did everyone's tired bodies and minds perk up, but he also breathed a sigh of relief: "We'll be there in another five or six miles."

At this time, the little white fox lying on the first wooden boat suddenly stood up alertly and kept shouting loudly: "Ah Wu - Ah Wu -"

The big rooster and the little phoenix, who were at odds with the little fox, were also standing on the crossbar of the mast of the second wooden boat, and they were also shouting loudly and anxiously: "Oh oh oh——"

Qing Yi's expression suddenly changed: "Oh no, there is danger in the river."

While shouting, Qing Yi was secretly hating himself in his heart. When he encountered the group of green rhinos, he should have thought that the danger might not only be in the swamp.

At this time, the civet cat, who had been taking a nap in the sun at the bow of the first boat, stood up vigilantly and stared at the river when the little fox shouted for warning.

Then, without hesitation, the round body pounced on a log floating on the river. It turned out to be a crocodile dragon more than two meters long. This crocodile dragon was a ninth-grade beast, disguised as a common tree in the river, ready to attack the wooden boat when it approached. At this time, it opened its big mouth and looked ferocious and pounced on the side of the boat.

"Ah, help-"

"The alligator is going to eat us——"

The women and children on the wooden boat had never seen such a ferocious beast before. They screamed in panic and even the wooden boat was shaking violently.

"Meow-"

The tabby cat screamed fiercely and swung its claws fiercely in the air, knocking over the two and a half meter long crocodile with one slap. A stream of blood spread on the water surface. It was obvious that the crocodile was seriously injured.

However, while repelling this crocodile, seven or eight more crocodiles appeared from all around the boat, and became even more excited when they smelled the blood in the river.

"Uncle Chai, Dongmen Hu, Dongmen Bao, and Daniu, guard the convoy and use bows and arrows to shoot the crocodiles that are approaching the boats. Brother Dazhu and Brother Gongsun, get on board to provide support!"

While giving the order, Qing Yi picked up a ten-stone bow and a pot of wolf-tooth rune arrows, ran to a dead tree stump on the riverbank and shot the crocodiles. Shi Dazhu and Gongsun Wu had already jumped onto the boat and killed multiple crocodiles.

The bloody massacre of alligator dragons did not scare away these ferocious guys. Instead, the smell of blood attracted more alligator dragons, including some eighth- and ninth-grade exotic beasts.

"Swoosh, swoosh, thin—"

Qing Yi kept shooting arrows, and he had to carefully control the strength so as not to break the bow.

Unfortunately, the wolf fang rune arrow is only the simplest rune weapon. Alligators are famous for their tough leather armor protection. An ordinary small alligator can be shot to death with a few arrows, but it is somewhat powerless when facing more powerful alien beasts.

"My lord, we are in trouble. The blood has attracted more and more alligator dragons. We can no longer travel along the river!" Gongsun Wu shouted as he struggled to kill a ninth-grade alligator dragon.

Looking out over the river, the sandbanks and grassy plains were covered with alligators basking in the sun. They jumped into the water as if stimulated by something, and quickly approached the place following the smell of blood.

Seeing this scene, Qing Yi felt his scalp tingling.

Just the number of alligator dragons seen with the naked eye is probably in the thousands. Even if only 10% of them are alligator dragons, it is still a terrifying number.

"Everyone, get ashore. We can't walk anymore in the river. This place is only five or six miles away from the lonely hill. Let's all walk over there!"

Faced with this situation, Qing Yi had no choice but to make a decision. He took the lead and dragged several wooden boats ashore with the villagers. At this time, the women and children on the boats were crying and shouting, and they could not be calmed down for a long time.

"Meow-"

The tabby cat bit the tail of a ninth-grade crocodile dragon and dragged it to a safe place on the shore with great effort. The fat cat looked at Qing Yi with anticipation on his face.

"Are you going to eat the alligator?" He looked at the civet cat speechlessly. Although the alligator was very similar to a crocodile, it was not a fish after all. This scene was funny no matter how he looked at it.

But the civet cat nodded very seriously, rubbed Qing Yi's ankle, and called softly: "Meow——"

This gave Qing Yi an idea, and he grabbed another dead alligator by the water and dragged it ashore, laughing to the frightened villagers, women, and children:
"I just finished eating the meat of those wild wolves a while ago, and I was worrying about where to go hunting. I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived near the lonely hill, these alligators took the initiative to deliver meat to my door. I have an extra meal tonight."

Afterwards, Shi Dazhu, Gongsun Wu, Chai Yong and the Dongmen brothers also followed suit and dragged up more than twenty large alligators from the river, enough for everyone to have a few feasts.

The villagers, who were originally frightened, couldn't help laughing when they heard Qing Yi's words and looked at the alligators again. Then, when they looked at the many alligators in the river fighting for the alligator's corpse, they were no longer afraid.
