Leveling Up With My Pet

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ

The small snapping turtle caught sight of the enormous crocodile.

The distance is becoming shorter and shorter over time.

The enormous crocodile didn't seem to respond.

After coming within about six or seven meters, the small snapping turtle paused and thought,

"This must be the big crocodile my master warned me about."

"I am the boss of Ink Lake. Why would a creature of such magnitude suddenly appear here?"

Although the enormous crocodile likely noticed the small snapping turtle, it probably didn't think much of it, considering its size advantage.

The young snapping turtle closed in by another meter or two, causing the crocodile to react and give a warning.

"Do you still warn me?"

The snapping turtle furiously said it.

The small snapping turtle had a fiery spirit of its own.

"I'm the boss of all of Ink Lake,"

"and as an arrogant newcomer, you need to be in your place."

The tiny snapping turtle and the newly placed crocodile confronted each other, with both sides issuing warnings.

When the crocodile saw that the snapping turtle, much smaller than him, dared to do this, his temper also came up. No matter what happened, he swung his tail and rushed over immediately, opening his mouth to bite.

The mouth is wide open with jagged, sharp teeth that look scary.

Coupled with the bite force, it won't be excellent if you get bitten.

If it had been an ordinary snapping turtle, it would have been bitten and had its shell crushed, but this small snapping turtle was different - it was quick to react.

With dodge, the small snapping turtle could evade the crocodile's bite. It then retaliated with a swift swipe of its front paw, which sliced through the crocodile's tough skin like a hot knife through butter.

Blood flow!

In the first round, the snapping turtle won the fight!

Far from being intimidated, the crocodile became even more aggressive after being scratched by the small snapping turtle. Its tail thrashed violently, like a whip made of pure steel, as it prepared to retaliate.

The little snapping turtle couldn't dodge in time, was kicked hard, and was swept several meters away.

In the second round, the crocodile had the upper hand.

Both of them knew that they were strong enough to fight each other.

The crocodile and the small snapping turtle faced off in the water several meters apart for several minutes. Eventually, the crocodile could no longer contain its aggression which let it charge forward once again.

One bite hit the carapace of the little snapping turtle.

The small snapping turtle wasn't about to let the crocodile get the upper hand. It also opened its jaws and sank its teeth into the crocodile's front leg in a swift and determined bite.

The small snapping turtle's powerful bite almost tore off a chunk of flesh from the crocodile's front leg.

The crocodile writhed in pain and unleashed its deadly weapon, thrashing its powerful tail with unbridled fury.

The bottom of the lake is cloudy.

The two opponents evenly matched in the third round, with the small snapping turtle gaining a slight advantage.

The two sides confronted each other several meters away.

With its hard carapace and the protective power of the tortoiseshell technique, the small snapping turtle emerged from the battle unscathed, while the crocodile suffered injuries in two places.

The small snapping turtle knew that defeating such a crocodile was not easy. Hence, it refrained from impulsively charging at the opponent and stopped quietly, awaiting the next move.

The confrontation lasted for more than ten minutes.

The crocodile eventually retreated, possibly realizing that the small snapping turtle was not an easy opponent to handle. It may return to fight another day after it has recovered from its injuries.

Seeing the big crocodile leave, the little snapping turtle thought unhappily, hum, wait for another two days when I grow up a bit, I must clean you up again.

After this battle, the crocodile did not dare to provoke the little snapping turtle again, and there was no more fighting between the two sides for the time being.

Every day, Liu Yong begins by checking the news and browsing his WeChat messages on his mobile phone. Today, just like any other day, he's lying in bed while doing so.

The news said the one who released the crocodile would soon be arrested.

Anyone who kills or captures this giant crocodile will receive a reward of 20,000 yuan.

Liu Yong was elated at the prospect of earning a reward of 20,000 yuan for capturing or killing the crocodile.

"Oh, by the way, how is the snapping turtle?"

Liu Yong immediately communicated with the snapping turtle,

"How are you? Didn't that enormous creature threaten you?"

The little snapping turtle briefly explained yesterday's situation and said:

"Master, don't worry I will take care of that big crocodile in two days at most."

Hearing this, Liu Yong was slightly relieved.

The small snapping turtle has the upper hand, and within the next two days, it may be able to subdue the crocodile.

The little snapping turtle had lived in Ink Lake for a long time and had never left its home.

As it grew giant, it started to wonder about the world beyond the lake.

Could it leave the lake and explore new places, perhaps even the vast ocean?

Snapping turtles are adapted to freshwater environments and may not be able to survive in saltwater environments. If the little snapping turtle wants to leave Ink Lake, it may need to find another freshwater habitat where it can thrive.

Liu Yong hoped the snapping turtle could adapt to the seawater environment because it is not an ordinary snapping turtle. It would be disappointing if the turtle could not survive in saltwater.

After breakfast, Liu Yong drove out.

Liu Yong knew it was risky, but he was curious to see if the little snapping turtle could survive in the salty seawater.

He researched and found that snapping turtles could tolerate a certain level of salinity but not as much as marine turtles.

Liu Yong decided to go to the beach and find a suitable location for the experiment. He planned to prepare a large tank with seawater to acclimate the turtle slowly to the new environment.

It is very convenient to have a car. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to reach the beach. Liu Yong began to search for a suitable place.

In the evening, Hu Shijun came over.

The two found a food stall, ordered a few dishes and a few bottles of wine, and chatted while eating and drinking.

"Brother Yong, today's business is good. It sold for a total of six Yuan Datou, and the income is almost 10,000 less. It is much better than going to work."

That's good news for Hu Shijun! It is like his hard work is paying off. With over 20 silver dollars earned in just a few days, it's no wonder he feels happy.

Although it may be less than what he can get from a job, it's still significant for selling fish.

Liu Yong was also happy and suggested:

"Why don't you take all the more than 100 Yuan Datou from me."

Hu Shijun said:

"In a few days when the silver dollars in my hand finish, I will ask you for them."

"Alright." Liu Yong nodded.

The two chatted and chatted, and gradually they talked about one thing.

Hu Shijun said:

"Brother Yong, do you know that there are news reports on newspapers, TV stations, and mobile phones? Someone released a two-meter Long crocodile."

"Well, I know, I happened to see it at the scene when the animals were released and tried to dissuade them, but the other party didn't listen. "

Hu Shijun said:

"Releasing such a crocodile is immoral. I just read the news report on my mobile phone. This morning, a tourist had bitten by a crocodile and almost dragged into the water. Fortunately, there were many people around at that time. Everyone scared them together."

His voice is relatively loud, and he looks filled with righteous indignation.

Someone interjected:

"Brother, I happened to be in Ink Lake Park, and I also heard about this incident. I also heard that the reward got increased by 50,000 yuan."

50,000 yuan!

Even Liu Yong was a little moved.

Compared to yesterday, the little snapping turtle has grown up again.

It is difficult for others to catch or kill that crocodile, but Liu Yong is different as he got an idea.

Hu Shijun looked envious,

"Brother Yong, 50,000 yuan if we can catch that big crocodile, that would be great."
