After leaving the Seven-tailed Fox and its daughter, and walking in the forest, Liu Yunqi puzzledly thought, ”Abyss Crocodile? What was that? He didn't even know much about magic beasts. It seemed like he would have to go back and thoroughly understand this world's magic beasts. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know what they were.
However, this fox spirit was really vengeful. Just by saying a few words against it, she intentionally lured me to that dangerous place. But why did she tell me afterwards? Sigh ~ The thoughts of magical beasts are really hard to guess. Forget it, since that place is dangerous, I'll just go find a place myself … ”
With that thought, Liu Yunqi changed his direction and headed towards the east.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Yunqi had already stayed in the Echo Forest for five days.
At this moment, he arrived at a lake.
The wide lake surface was illuminated by the sunlight. From afar, it looked extremely beautiful.
A light breeze blew past the shore, the flowers and plants swayed gently, the scent of grass and flowers mixed together before surging into Liu Yunqi's nose. It made him feel refreshed, and as he looked at this beautiful painting, he was also lost in thought for a moment.
This sort of natural beautiful scenery was something that he couldn't see in his previous life. Looking at the crystal clear lake water in front of him, he suddenly felt like he couldn't control his heart and couldn't help but want to swim in the lake.
However, after staying in the Echo Forest for so many days, he had a certain level of experience. He knew that the more beautiful and quiet a place looked like, the more dangerous it might be.
Liu Yunqi was not in a hurry to go into the water. He patiently waited on the tree for a while, but he still did not find anything abnormal.
The lush vegetation on the shore dazzled his eyes. After searching for half a day, he did not find anything suspicious. Instead, he found some precious herbs among a pile of plants.
After being startled for a moment, Liu Yunqi carefully looked around at the situation by the lake.
He still didn't find anything. He immediately felt relieved and jumped down from the tree to hide. He carefully walked towards the lakeside.
Even though he did not see any danger, he still had to be vigilant. After all, he was currently in a forbidden area called Echo Forest.
He walked all the way to the lakeside, and did not encounter any danger. Liu Yunqi probed and picked a stalk of medicinal herb from the ground, then vigilantly looked around once more, but still did not discover anything unusual.
”Am I too sensitive? ”Forget it, let's just pull out the grass and earn some extra money.”
He slowly calmed down.
”Ah ~ I'm finally done pulling, I'm so tired ~”
When it was almost evening, Liu Yunqi wiped the sweat off his forehead, and used his hand to knock his waist that did not seem to be able to stand up, and then carefully checked around the lake once more. Seeing that all the medicinal ingredients had been gathered by him, he lazily laid on the ground and rested his exhausted body.
The setting sun gradually tilted and rested for a while on the grass by the lake. Liu Yunqi once again slowly crawled up from the ground.
He quickly took off his clothes and threw them to the side. ”Putong!” He jumped into the water.
”This water isn't bad. It's been a long time since I last took a bath. It just so happens that I can take a bath …”
When he came out of the water, Liu Yunqi's face was full of comfort. He sighed comfortably and began to wash his entire body.
As if he had felt something, the silt at the bottom of the lake gently rolled, and a pair of crimson red eyes that were like red lanterns appeared from the silt. The pair of eyes scanned his surroundings, and in the end, locked onto Liu Yunqi's white thighs, as they slowly swam towards the bottom of the lake.
Liu Yunqi was completely unaware of all that was happening, he was in the middle of the lake humming a little tune as he washed his body.
”Gulp …”
His stomach suddenly made a noise of protest. He looked at the sky and saw that it was almost dark. It was time for dinner.
Looking down, he saw that there were a lot of fish swimming in the lake.
Looking at the fish swimming in the lake, Liu Yunqi began to envy them and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
”Crash ~”
Liu Yunqi lowered his head and dived into the water, immediately chasing after the fish in the water, causing them to run all over the place.
Although Liu Yunqi swam rather fast, but no matter how fast he swam, he was not faster than fish in water? He chased after the fish in the lake, but still couldn't catch a single one.
Liu Yunqi floated up to the surface of the water and puffed out a mouthful of impure air. While breathing in the fresh air, he glared unhappily at the fish in the water.
The green battle spirit suddenly burst out, Liu Yunqi took a few breaths of fresh air, then dove into the water again, chasing after the fish.
Liu Yunqi who was releasing his Spirit Qi immediately increased his speed multiple times, and in a moment, he was able to catch up with the fish in the water.
Feeling his speed, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
Very quickly, he caught up to a fish, and caught a fat fish beside him. The fish struggled violently, but was unable to break free from Liu Yunqi's claws, and in a flash, it was placed into his storage ring.
As if opening his golden fingers, Liu Yunqi charged left and right in the middle of the school of fish, frequently attacking the swimming fish, and not long after, he caught five or six fish.
Just as Liu Yunqi was playing and thinking about how he could increase the success of the battle, the fish swimming in the water suddenly scattered apart in panic.
While he was thinking in his heart, suddenly, a flow of water rushed towards him from bottom to top. Liu Yunqi looked down curiously, his pupils had shrunk to the size of a needle.
Directly below him, a dozen or so crocodile-looking magical beasts were charging at him with their mouths wide open.
Those Goblin Beasts had crocodile mouths, their entire black bodies looked exceptionally smooth, their skin looked to be extremely smooth, and they were around seven to eight meters long, as though they were water snakes that were quickly swimming towards Liu Yunqi.
”What the f * ck is this?!” So much like an alligator! Could it be the Abyss Crocodile that the fox spirit talked about a few days ago?! ”
