Chapter 20: Bloody Crocodiles

After finishing his boast, he deliberately flexed his muscular arms to show off his strength and bravery.

Despite being dozens of feet away from the swamp, cultivators had sharp senses. Lin Yang could clearly hear the evil-looking man's voice. Moreover, the man deliberately shouted loudly, wanting to put on a display of his bravery.

Lin Yun had finally arrived! Lin Yang wasn't surprised that Lin Yun was able to track him here. Although the Black Forest Mountains was vast, this location was relatively close to the Lin Mountains. If Lin Yun wanted to find him, it wouldn't be too difficult. But even if he found him now, it didn't matter. Getting into this swamp was no easy task.

Don't forget, there were hungry Bloody Crocodiles in this swamp. These creatures were not welcoming to any trespassers.

Separated by dozens of feet, Lin Yang seemed to see the pride in Lin Yun's eyes. Facing such a gaze, Lin Yang simply uttered, "Fool."

As if sensing Lin Yang's contempt and disdain, the evil-looking man couldn't contain his anger. He brandished his saber and charged forward, diving into the dark, damp, and bubbling swamp.

It appeared that he intended to push forward in one breath.

The evil man rampaged through the swamp like a bull, causing the ground to shake. It seemed as if a cannonball had been launched into the swamp. Within a short while, he had already crossed two-thirds of the swamp. His mighty appearance caused Lin Yang to raise an eyebrow in surprise. On the other hand, Lin Yun had a smile on his face.

He was about to reach the rock where the ancient temple stood. Suddenly, the charging man let out a heroic scream.

With a splash, he was dragged into the swamp like a loach.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sounds of struggle between prey and predator emanated from the swamp. Occasionally, the sound of a pig being slaughtered could be heard.

What was happening? Lin Yun and the others were dumbfounded. How did the man disappear halfway?

"What a fool. This swamp is the territory of the Bloody Crocodiles. Even I don't dare to charge in. And yet, you still wanted to charge in? You must be tired of living!" Lin Yang stood on the rock, mocking the scene with a mocking smile.

Although he didn't say anything, it was enough to infuriate Lin Yun.

The Sixth Young Master's face turned red. When had he, an arrogant individual, ever been mocked like this? He gritted his teeth in anger.

"Charge in, Young Master. No matter what the hell is in this swamp, charge in and capture that damned bastard!"

The expressions of the guards turned sour. This swamp was far too dangerous. They had just seen a fearless and ferocious man vanish in an instant. Who knew if there were vicious traps or ferocious beasts lurking within?

Seeing the hesitation and fear on the guards' faces, Lin Yun became so angry that he felt like he would vomit blood. These men often boasted about their power, claiming that they would go through mountains of swords and seas of fire for him. Yet, when it came to actually doing something, they were trembling with fear.

Observing their reluctance to move forward, Lin Yang couldn't help but feel a little regretful. The Bloody Crocodiles in the swamp must be extremely hungry right now.

His gaze fell upon the three ancient cauldrons, and his expression changed. His fingers darted like the wind as he executed the first style of the Kun Sea Suppression Fist. A powerful force surged between his fingers, bombarding the ancient cauldrons.

Buzz!

A formless sound wave rippled out, carrying an extremely unique rhythm. Faintly, the three cauldrons began vibrating simultaneously.

It seemed that the mysterious method of the Kun Sea Suppression Fist was the key to these ancient cauldrons. It was as though they were connected to some sort of mechanism.

By using his fist as the key and the sound wave as the trigger, the mechanism was activated. Even with Lin Yang's knowledge, he couldn't help but be amazed at the ingenuity of the mechanism.

Rumble!

Both inside and outside the ancient temple, the three ancient cauldrons began rotating along the same axis, causing a deafening rumbling sound. The entire swamp shook as if an earth dragon was awakening.

Slowly, the three cauldrons moved three feet to the side, revealing an underground entrance beneath the six ancient cauldrons. Lin Yang's eyes lit up. He instantly knew that this was the entrance to the underground ruins. Without hesitation, he leaped down.

"What is that place?" A group of people outside the swamp stared wide-eyed.

"Idiot, do you even need to ask? It must be a place where treasures are hidden. Maybe there are even elixirs or secret manuals inside!" Someone cried out with eyes tinged with envy.

Lin Yun's eyes widened. This useless Ninth Brother of his really did possess a huge secret!

Rumble! At that moment, the underground entrance began shaking once again. The ground trembled as the mechanism began closing!

"Oh no, the entrance is closing! Everyone, hurry!" someone cried out, their eyes bulging and faces turning red.

The doorway to the treasure cave was closing. Only half of the entrance remained, and it was closing rapidly!

"Don't let it close!" A distraught and anguished voice echoed through the quiet swamp.

Figures no longer cared about the hidden dangers within the swamp. They risked their lives, with Lin Yun being the fastest among them.

However, what awaited them was the sight of a gaping, bloody jaw. The Bloody Crocodiles in the swamp seemed to have heard the dinner bell. They leaped out of the water like carps, their graceful figures resembling mermaids, yet their intentions were far from beautiful.

To the guards, they were more terrifying than evil spirits. Whenever a Bloody Crocodile emerged from the swamp, a greedy soul was dragged into its vicious, serrated jaws.

The charging figures became like helpless dumplings, falling into the terrifying maws of the Bloody Crocodiles. The air was filled with screams of terror and curses, echoing throughout the small swamp.
