CHAPTER 65: CHAPTER 65: COUPLES DUO, DOUBLE THE PAIN!

In the Changle River.

A shadow moved along the riverbank, using the shadows of the dam under the moonlight as cover, gradually approaching Ansheng without leaving a trace, ready at any moment to leap forward and deliver a deadly bite and death roll.

But due to an accident, the predator lurking in the river gradually approaching exposed itself.

A wild boar, after a running start, jumped in place and landed in the river, intending to swim to the other side and escape the fox.

However, the height of the wild boar’s jump didn’t mean it could jump far.

Weighing two hundred pounds, the impact upon descent slammed directly onto the shadow at the riverbank.

Moreover, it landed right on the bow of the lone boat’s shadow.

The predator in the river, fully focused on the little fox’s figure, was not aware at all of the wild boar taking off.

As the heavy object hit its head, the shadow lurking in the river was startled, its tail sticking out of the water.

"Snort, snort—"

After falling into the water, the wild boar clearly noticed the predator in the river, screaming in terror and hastily climbing onto the bank along the river’s protective slope.

"Crash—"

Like a crocodile in a fit of rage, the predator in the river exposed its upper body, making a mock bite in the direction of the wild boar’s escape as a threat.

An estuarine crocodile nearly seven meters long, covered in scales like armor, lay flat on the river’s surface, revealing half its head and eyes, exuding intense hostility, and staring intently at the fox’s figure on the river surface.

’It wants to tear my big rump apart!’

In a moment of eye contact, Ansheng read the hostile intent from the crocodile’s eyes.

No need for doubt, with such expressive eyes and a body shimmering with a metallic luster, the estuarine crocodile before him, like the wild boar at Skinny Dog Creek, was undoubtedly an extraordinary creature referred to as a Spirit Beast by Grandmaster Lin.

"Ugh—"

Ansheng frowned, letting out a soft sound while staring at the crocodile in the river.

And as the fox and the crocodile confronted each other, the overly frightened wild boar rolled and crashed into the electric fence set up by Changping Pet Paradise.

The wild boar’s shrill cries echoed through the Pet Paradise under the moonlight, prompting a chorus of barking from the animals housed within the park.

"Crash—"

In the blink of an eye, the crocodile seemed to sense the fox’s momentary distraction.

The nearly seven-meter-long crocodile shot up from the water, mouth wide open, carrying a surge of water, crossing the gap in an instant to bite at the diminutive Ansheng.

"Bang!"

As the crocodile opened and closed its mouth, a deep thud and metallic clash suddenly burst forth.

But by that time, the fox had already moved away.

Despite the dodge, the crocodile’s assault did not stop. Once on land, it moved with lightning speed, quickly pursuing the evasive fox.

The electric fences and the steel-reinforced concrete barriers along the way were no match.

On land, the estuarine crocodile moved like an armored vehicle in camouflage, sweeping all before it, leaving the viewing platforms along the riverbank shattered into splinters under its stomping.

Countless broken branches and debris flew into Pet Paradise amid dust and smoke following the crocodile’s tail strikes.

"Roar—"

The crocodile let out a screech, exuding an overpowering presence that made every creature in Pet Paradise feel as if a demon lord had arrived.

"Ugh......"

Ansheng’s figure gracefully landed, yet a pained expression appeared on the little fox’s face.

Though he skillfully dodged the crocodile’s assault and series of bites, as well as the sweeping strikes of its steel-like tail.

The facilities of Pet Paradise suffered greatly.

Particularly those broken concrete posts, under the crocodile’s powerful tail strikes, rolled and moved over a hundred meters, destroying every campsite and facility along the way, including a decorative food truck and the entire lawn.

Even the wires and water pipes beneath the lawn were exposed, sparking with electricity.

The entire Pet Paradise was plunged into darkness.

"Ugh!"

The expression of pain on the little fox’s face gradually turned into torrenting fury, prompting his second tail to bounce out.

"Damn croc! How dare you act presumptuously!"

The fox let out a sharp whistle, standing upright and charging at the crocodile.

In contrast with the crocodile’s figure, the fox, not even as thick as the crocodile’s fingers, moved with astonishing speed, like a streak of white light under the moon, bravely confronting the retreating crocodile trying to head back to the river for an ambush.

"Roar—"

With a mighty roar, the crocodile stopped its retreat, eyes ablaze with fierce light, fearlessly lunging forward.

"Boom!"

At the moment of collision, the massive crocodile was sent flying backwards by tremendous force, landing heavily on the protective slope.

The crocodile’s collision with the steel-reinforced concrete slope resonated throughout the night sky with a thunderous crash.

"Vile creature, how dare you trap me, Ansheng, in such a plight!"

Upon landing, the little fox didn’t cease its ferocious assault. With fury still evident on his face, the fox stood upright with claws outstretched, grabbing the crocodile’s tail and flipping it over the shoulder, slamming it down hard on the ground.

With a "boom," dust scattered, and the nearly seven-meter-long crocodile was embedded in the artificial lawn.

Yet, in that instant.

The air was suddenly filled with the sound of something swiftly cutting through it, and a powerful metal arrow skimmed over the fox’s head.

"Fortune Fox! Behind you!"

A shout of warning from Chen Zhiyu was followed by a series of arrows shooting out from the crescent-shaped building’s rooftop.

However, after flying several hundred meters, the arrows had lost much of their force.

Unable to affect the shadow in the river, resembling a dragon in shape, at least eight meters long.

Chen Zhiyu had seen that serpent-like shadow at night before, appearing again on the river.

With Chen Zhiyu’s warning, Ansheng turned swiftly to face a pair of eyes staring out from the water’s surface.

Those floating slit pupils shimmered with absolute confidence and intense hostility towards Ansheng’s intrusion into its territory.

The true overlord of the Changle River emerged, revealing its jet-black snout like ink jade, with a massive body covered in pitch-black scales, gradually surfacing, its back with three protruding bone plates glowing pale white.

The black-and-white snout crocodile, unlike any common crocodile.

Its snout, though long, was broader than any typical snout crocodile, clearly not just for catching fish.

Its head was the smallest part, but further down, the snout crocodile’s body grew more massive, its sturdy bi-color tail almost thicker than the estuarine crocodile’s waist.

"Hiss—"

The bi-color snout crocodile ascended the bank, watching Ansheng with hostility, opening its mouth, letting out a warning hiss.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"

Facing the arrows fired by Chen Zhiyu, it didn’t even spare them a glance, focusing solely on the white fox.

"You want me to back down!"

Ansheng stood on hind legs, two large tails supporting the little fox’s reclining posture.

With arms spread wide, assuming a gesturing posture of embrace, the fox’s paws, as they opened, scratched over the devastated landscape of the Pet Paradise’s viewing area.

"So you tell me.... how can I retreat?"

"The millions in losses here today, either you two crocodiles are responsible for compensating, or my Ah Qing will have to sell her car and house to pay for it. Clearly, I, Ansheng, won’t let Ah Qing end up in a difficult spot!"

"Between you and me, one of us has to stay in the animal park’s communal bed!"

The once enclosed viewing area of the Pet Paradise was destroyed, with tens of square meters of turf uprooted.

Even the flood prevention project’s protective slopes were wrecked.

That unfortunate crocodile had incredibly destructive power.

Having caused such a massive breach, if nothing else, someone has to account for it, right?

With Sister Zhiyu watching from behind, there was no way Ansheng was letting the two crocodiles leave.

After all, crocodiles don’t have rights or the ability to talk back, so sending them to atone is just right!
