Chapter 1144 - Hunting the Azure Nether Crocodile (2)
Only Yang Ni and Liu Wuxie remained on the glacier.
When Fiery emerged, it suppressed its formidable laws and released only a faint divine beast aura.
The shattered glacier, fractured by the earlier battle, allowed Fiery's aura to seep deep through the ice.
To ancient beasts, a divine beast's aura was like poison, irresistible and deadly.
In ancient times, beasts evolved by devouring superior bloodlines. Even divine dragons rose to power only after countless refinements.
Time passed, and the glacier remained unmoved.
The Azure Nether Crocodile rarely surfaced, spending most of its time dormant. Liu Wuxie’s theft of the Frost Bead had awakened it.
By noon the next day, faint cracking sounds echoed across the ice.
"Retreat," Liu Wuxie ordered, vanishing with Yang Ni and leaving Fiery behind like a pitiful sacrifice.
From time to time, Fiery let out pitiful whimpers, its cries oddly intelligent and almost coy.
By dusk, the Azure Nether Crocodile broke through the ice with its massive head.
As the Azure Nether Crocodile surfaced, Yang Ni's eyes widened in horror, as its head alone stretched hundreds of meters wide.
