The Blue Young Dragon Austin recalled and speculated that the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader should have two weaknesses.
First, in the past three days, the Blue Young Dragon led a group of Kobolds to slaughter the Ghost-headed Crocodiles in the lake, and the leader of the underwater Ghost-headed Crocodiles did not appear or take any action, allowing the other Ghost-headed Crocodiles to be slaughtered without any sense of crisis.
This indicates that it is likely to have low intelligence and a low sensitivity to danger.
Secondly, the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader is also a Ghost-headed Crocodile, so it is likely to retain the trait of being easily angered and vindictive like ordinary Ghost-headed Crocodiles.
Having identified the weaknesses, the next step is to arrange the battle tactics.
Time flew by quickly, and soon it was the second day.
The sun hung high in the sky, the vast sky was a deep blue, like a massive, translucent ice block, crystal clear and immaculate.
This is the prelude to the coming of the cold winter. Soon, the cold current of Water Magic from the sea will overpower the Fire Attribute Magic Power on the continent, sweeping across the entire sky and earth.
At this time, by the lake reservoir, about twenty meters from the water surface, the Blue Young Dragon and several Kobolds were covering the traps they had dug overnight with a thick layer of leaves as camouflage.
"You should be aware of the power of Magic Beasts. Follow the plan, but if things don't look good, I allow you to retreat first."
The Blue Young Dragon said in a heavy voice. Having witnessed the might of the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader yesterday, Austin had no absolute confidence in hunting it, and he did not want to see the Kobolds he'd painstakingly trained suffer losses because of it.
"Alright, let's begin."
With Austin's command given, two Kobolds placed bloody, fist-sized pieces of meat on the ground every two steps, extending all the way to the edge of the lake reservoir, then threw the last pieces of meat in their hands into the water before quickly turning around and leaving.
The water surface was calm for a moment, then the sound of rushing water was heard, and a powerful current surged from the lake's bottom, stirring up a massive amount of silt.
Enticed by the scent of food, the leader of the Ghost-headed Crocodiles at the lake's bottom couldn't resist coming out, swallowing the meat in the water in one gulp.
As it was about to dive back into the water, it suddenly saw another piece of meat on the shore.
Perhaps because it was the absolute apex predator in this part of the lake, it had been many years since any creature dared to offend them. The Ghost-headed Crocodiles had no natural enemies, so they didn't have to consider anything else. Moreover, being the strongest Ghost-headed Crocodile leader, it didn't think twice, swaggered onto the shore, swallowed the meat in one gulp, and then saw another piece in the distance...
Following the trail of food, the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader slowly crawled away from the lake reservoir, its gaze finally resting on a pile of fallen leaves in front of it, where a fresh deer leg lay quietly.
The Ghost-headed Crocodile leader hesitated not for a second and leisurely crawled over.
The dark scale armor shimmered with a metallic luster. In this area, it was the invincible overlord and didn't have to worry about any enemy harboring ill intentions against it.
Without any surprises, the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader fell directly into the trap.
Bang!
The "ground" suddenly collapsed. Beneath the seemingly solid layer of fallen leaves was a pit over a meter deep, with sharp wooden spikes embedded in it. The Ghost-headed Crocodile leader tumbled straight down.
The Ghost-headed Crocodile was completely caught off guard, its massive body crashing into the pit, rolling down and directly hitting the sharp wooden spikes at the bottom.
However, the expected sight of blood splattering did not occur. The defense of the Ghost-headed Crocodile's dark scale armor was too strong. The sharp wooden spikes couldn't even leave white marks before being crushed.
"Everyone ready, go!"
At this moment, accompanied by the order of the Kobold leader Vini, a line of Kobolds suddenly stood up from the grass a few meters away, ran to the edge of the pit in a few steps, and while the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader was still dizzy from falling into the pit, they thrust wooden spears down in unison.
Yet, to no avail.
Those wooden spears couldn't penetrate the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader's scale armor at all!
Feeling the pain, the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader raised its head, seeing the Kobolds above who kept stabbing it.
Although this pain was negligible to the Ghost-headed Crocodile and caused no harm, the sensation was like a mouse defecating on your head. The Ghost-headed Crocodile leader felt offended, and not just merely offended, a surging fury erupted inside.
Roar!!!
On its ferocious head, its eyes suddenly glowed red. It opened its terrifying mouth, revealing sharp, cold teeth, and roared at the sky.
In an instant, a sonic wave burst forth from the ground, and the Kobolds facing this roar were immediately pushed back several steps, almost stumbling to the ground.
But that wasn't the end,
A dark glow emanated from the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader's body. With one swipe of its claw on the pit's wall, the solid dirt collapsed like tofu, as if an Iron Armor Giant Beast had torn through the pit, climbing up from the underground, raising billowing dust.
The Kobolds, just recovered from the soul-shaking roar, saw the furious Ghost-headed Crocodile leader tearing out of the pit, charging towards them like an out-of-control iron-clad car.
"Not good! Stab!"
With the terrified command of the Kobold leader Vini, the Kobolds instinctively jabbed forward with their spears in unison.
Seeing the approaching spear forest, the Ghost-headed Crocodile's fury intensified, its tail swinging as it charged, smashing the incoming spears with its tail that was like an iron hammer carrying formidable power.
Crack, crack...
The crisp sound of breaking resonated continuously, with no exception - the wooden spears snapped and shattered one by one. Behind, the Kobolds holding the spears were shocked to the ground by the enormous force, instantly flying away and crashing heavily.
As the Kobolds landed far away, wailing in pain, the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader took another step toward the Kobolds, aggressive and massive like a steel giant hand.
Just as the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader was about to reach the Kobolds, ready to kill and eat these pesky creatures that dared to attack it,
a large shadow suddenly fell from the sky, covering it completely without any warning.
In an instant, an extremely dangerous feeling descended upon the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader's heart, the innate instincts sending shivers through its entire body.
Yet before it could react,
The Blue Young Dragon, having been lying in wait for a long time, seized the moment, darting across the sky like a black lightning. It brought a swift and intense gale as it landed on the Ghost-headed Crocodile's body, its two steel-like claws precisely piercing into the Ghost-headed Crocodile leader's spine, clamping onto that spinal cord like iron pincers...
