Chapter 317 Obtaining the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow
"Your Highness, quickly cast an invisibility spell!"
But just then, Zhao Cai's desperate shouts echoed in Shen Rugo's mind.
"Invisibility talisman?"
Shen Rugo was stunned, stopped in her tracks, and without thinking, took out a talisman and stuck it on her body.
"That's not enough, add another rune to conceal your presence!"
Zhao Cai continued to urge them on.
Shen Rugo immediately affixed another talisman to her body.
One of these runes conceals the figure, and the other conceals the aura.
"Zhao Cai, why are you so panicked?"
"Your Highness, haven't you seen it yet?"
Zhao Cai shouted.
What did I see?
Before Shen Rugo could finish speaking, she immediately covered her mouth.
In the cave ahead, in front of the pool, lay a huge creature.
"Crocodile!"
"That's a crocodile!"
"There are such big crocodiles in this world!"
Shen Rugo quickly recognized the creature as a crocodile. It was lying in the cave, but because its skin color was similar to the rocks in the cave and its size was too large, she didn't recognize it at first.
Just then, the crocodile, which seemed to have been asleep, suddenly opened its eyes and looked towards the cave entrance.
"Zhao Cai, is this crocodile even more terrifying than that little white worm? Can't we handle it?"
The formation had just performed a great service, and Shen Rugo had severed the giant snake's blood jade with a single sword strike, breaking its supernatural power. She was now full of confidence.
"Your Highness, how can that little reptile compare to this crocodile?"
This crocodile could kill that little reptile with a single sneeze!
That little reptile was merely the crocodile's watchdog; the crocodile was the true guardian spirit beast of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow.
"Zhao Cai said softly."
"You think a sneeze can kill that little reptile?"
This time, Shen Rugo was truly unsettled!
"This old crocodile is probably at the late or even peak stage of the Nascent Soul realm."
That little reptile was at most at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
"Equivalent to the late or even peak stage of the Nascent Soul realm?"
"We're trying to attract wealth, so what do we do now? Are we going to give up?"
Giving up is impossible.
We can't take it by force, we have to outsmart them!
"Outsmart? You little brat, you know about outsmarting?"
"Your Highness, didn't you see?"
The crocodile had been asleep the whole time, and it didn't even notice us fighting so fiercely in the pool.
So, we'll wait here, let it continue its slumber, and then, taking it by surprise, quietly steal the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow!
"You mean, while it's asleep, we'll steal the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Rugo's eyes immediately lit up.
So, Shen Rugo, along with Zhaocai, secretly hid outside the cave.
Because it was protected by two runes, the giant crocodile simply opened its eyes, looked around, sniffed the air, and then closed its eyes again.
Time slipped by quietly, and soon half an hour had passed.
"Zhao Cai, can we go over now?"
Shen Rugo is now trusting Zhao Cai more and more. It seems that Zhao Cai knows everything about all kinds of spirit beasts and ferocious beasts, which may be the reason why it is a supreme divine beast.
"Wait another half an hour. It has just fallen asleep, and any movement will wake it up. Let it sleep even more soundly!"
"Alright, let's wait a bit longer."
"But Zhao Cai, if we steal the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow and it finds out, won't it turn this secret realm upside down and search for us everywhere?"
"Definitely!"
"But regardless, Your Highness, this ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow will definitely bring you unexpected benefits!"
"Alright, even if it chases us, let's give it our all!"
Shen Rugo was also eager to get started.
"However, Your Highness, you must remember not to reveal our presence, lest it discover us."
This kind of spirit beast, comparable to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, will lock onto us once it senses our presence. Unless we leave the secret realm, we will be relentlessly pursued by it!
"I know, I will be careful, and I will put it into my storage bag after I get it!"
Shen Rugo nodded repeatedly.
Another half hour passed, and it was clear that the giant crocodile had indeed fallen into a deep sleep.
Shen Rugo walked forward cautiously, step by step.
With two runes protecting him, he walked all the way to the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow, but the giant crocodile didn't make a sound.
Shen Rugo was overjoyed and quietly reached out to put the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow into a storage bag she had prepared beforehand.
Then, he quietly retreated and, following a pre-selected direction, quickly escaped through a passage.
However, after walking less than three hundred feet, a deafening roar suddenly rang out. Immediately afterwards, it was as if the entire earth was collapsing, with continuous thuds. The crocodile's furious roar quickly headed towards the pool.
"Your Highness is indeed clever; we made the right choice in this direction! The old crocodile's first reaction was to suspect the little white worm and go after it!"
Listening to the direction the crocodile charged off in, Zhao Cai couldn't help but flatter Shen Rugo.
In fact, while they were waiting, they had already planned which direction to escape in after obtaining the Ten Thousand Year Ice Marrow.
As Zhao Cai suggested, they returned the way they came and swam out of the pool.
But Shen Rugo rejected this decision.
Because she fell into the pool from a height, she had no idea what the situation was like above the pool, and it was hard to say whether she could get out.
And most importantly, if the old crocodile wakes up and discovers that the millennium-old ice marrow is missing, it will immediately rush into the pool to find the giant snake.
This secret realm has been untouched for countless years. The first thing the crocodile thought of was not that it was stolen by outsiders, but that it was stolen by the giant snake.
Besides, the giant snake was its watchdog, and even if the giant snake didn't steal it, as the watchdog, it was still culpable.
So they chose another direction.
This direction doesn't lead to a pool of water, but rather to a mountain path.
More precisely, it was one of several mountain paths, chosen by Shen Rugo after repeated calculations.
Stop talking nonsense.
We don't know if there's an exit ahead, let's speed up!
Hearing that earth-shattering noise, one can tell how terrifying the crocodile is; it is definitely not comparable to that giant snake.
Even if Shen Rugo really sets up an array, or even the Nine Dragons Fire Array, it might not be able to trap this crocodile, and it might even swallow it whole.
Although Shen Rugo was confident in the Nine Dragons Blazing Fire Formation, she had never actually tested it on a master.
"The magic talisman!"
Shen Rugo stuck a speed talisman on her leg, and despite the rugged mountain path, she used both her hands and feet, moving as fast as an ape, and ran forward.
But in just a few breaths, he heard a deafening roar, followed by a series of thuds and the furious roar of the crocodile coming from the direction of the pool.
It's clear the crocodile found the giant snake's carcass, discovered the truth, and returned.
"Your Highness, run! That old thing is truly enraged! It has already charged into two mountain paths and collapsed them at top speed!"
Zhao Cai was filled with admiration for Shen Rugo at this moment, shouting and reminding her at the same time.
If it had followed its original plan and returned the way it came, not only would it have been unable to escape through the pool, but even if it had chosen one of the other two mountain paths, it would have been caught by the crocodiles long ago.
Just as Shen Rugo said, the old crocodile would definitely come looking for this mountain path last.
"Boom!"
Soon, another mountain road collapsed.
Zhao Cai and Shen Rugo were on tenterhooks.
