Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Finally, when the moon was hanging in the sky, the two saw the outline of the grassland.

Although at first glance it is all blurry grass, it forms a clear dividing line with the bare Gobi Desert on this side.

The green ocean looked particularly beautiful under the moonlight, like an oasis in the desert, bringing them hope.

The two quickened their pace and ran towards the grassland.

When their feet set foot on the grassland, the excitement in their hearts was beyond words.

They finally crossed the Gobi Desert. A cool breeze carrying the scent of herbs swept over them, and the two were intoxicated by it.

"We did it!"

Gu Yang's voice trembled slightly, tears glistening in his eyes. "We actually crossed the Gobi Desert in just one day, and we didn't encounter any danger!"

Hu Qing nodded, a long-lost smile appeared on his face, and he said:

"Yes, we did. Now we can rest here and then head to the Spirit Stream River."

The two ran on the grassland and finally found a source of water. They drank heartily and then found a flat place nearby to lie down and rest.

The two were exhausted after a day of running around, and their tense spirits finally relaxed at this moment.

The surrounding grasslands were silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects.

The bonfire swayed in the breeze, and the firelight illuminated the tired faces of Hu Qing and Gu Yang. They each found a comfortable position to sleep.

As the night deepened, the breeze around them gradually grew stronger, blowing out the weak campfire.

Gu Yang felt a chill. He opened his eyes and found that he was shivering from the cold.

He stood up and went to the grass nearby to meet his physical needs.

The moon above was obscured by clouds, and all around was pitch black, with only the irritating chirping of insects to be heard.

After Gu Yang finished his pleasure, he shook it twice, pulled up his pants, sat on the ground, and re-lit the bonfire.

He looked at the night and couldn't fall asleep, so he prepared to practice to restore his physical and spiritual strength.

He is only in the middle stage of foundation building now, and the gap in strength between him and Hu Qing is getting bigger and bigger. He has to work hard.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a faint fishy smell in the wind, like the smell of some fermenting corpse.

Gu Yang frowned and looked in the direction of the wind, but found nothing unusual.

Just as he was about to sit down, he heard a rustling sound of grass, and it wasn't just one person, but a group of people.

Gu Yang's heart tightened. He realized that something was wrong and quickly woke Hu Qing up.

Hu Qing opened his eyes dazedly and looked around, but didn't see anything.

"Aqing, did you hear any sound?" Gu Yang asked in a low voice, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Hu Qing shook his head, his face still sleepy, and yawned as he said, "No, what's wrong?"

At this moment, his head felt numb and the image of a crocodile suddenly appeared in his mind.

Many crocodiles chased them and bit them, and both of them were injured.

Hu Qing's face changed, and he suddenly woke up and described the scene that had just appeared to Gu Yang.

The expressions of both men grew serious. They gripped their weapons tightly, raised their torches and threw them into the surrounding bushes.

The flames rose, igniting all the hay around and illuminating the surroundings.

The water surface in the grass was also illuminated. Hu Qing looked with the torch and saw more than ten "dead trees" floating on the water at a glance.

Gu Yang rubbed his eyes. Why did the pattern on the dead wood look so much like scales? Then he looked at the red eyes in front of him.

These were all crocodiles, and most of them were level three or four, and their species could not be seen in the water.

"How come these crocodiles are here, and there are so many of them?" Gu Yang whispered, with a hint of solemnity in his voice.

Hu Qing shook his head, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He said, "The water source on the grassland is the habitat of crocodiles. We may have entered their territory."

While the crocodile was not making any other attacking moves, the two men checked the surroundings.

Looking around, it seems that there are only these crocodiles in the water, so I feel relieved.

"Brother Gu, these crocodiles are left to you. I'll help you hold the line and practice." Hu Qing played with Wang Jian and looked at Gu Yang indifferently.

Gu Yang also knew that he needed practical experience, so he nodded, stood by the water holding the Soul-Devouring Blade, took a deep breath, and looked forward.

Although these crocodiles do not look very aggressive, they are still third or fourth level monsters with great strength and attack power.

Gu Yang stood by the water and waited for a long time, but the crocodiles were still floating on the water without any movement.

"Ah Qing, could it be that there's something wrong with the prediction? Why don't these crocodiles react at all?"

Hu Qing looked at the peaceful water surface and was also confused. Could it be that there was really something wrong with the golden elixir?

But after thinking about it, Hu Qing picked up a stone and smashed it on the head of a crocodile.

"Boom!"

A dull sound came from the water, and a crocodile suddenly jumped out of the water, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced towards Gu Yang.

"Look, aren't they coming? These are violent swamp crocodiles, no wonder there are so many of them. Their weak point is their abdomen, so we have to kill them with one strike, otherwise we will anger them.

"They have racial abilities that allow them to go berserk, stimulating their blood and making their attacks even more powerful," Hu Qing explained slowly.

Gu Yang reacted quickly. He wielded the Soul-Devouring Blade and blocked the charge of the ferocious swamp crocodile.

A huge force came, and Gu Yang used the Soul-Devouring Blade to struggle to repel the violent swamp crocodile, then suddenly jumped on it and stabbed towards its abdomen.

The attack was extremely fierce. The violent swamp crocodile rolled on the ground, but was stopped by Gu Yang. The wound on its abdomen became deeper and deeper, and it soon fell to the ground.

The smell of blood spread and was carried by the breeze to the group of violent swamp crocodiles, but they did not react at all.

The water around was also unusually calm, without any ripples.

"A Qing, what's going on with these violent swamp crocodiles? Why aren't they moving?" Gu Yang said as he wiped the blood off the Soul-Devouring Blade.

Hu Qing also felt strange, so he picked up another stone and smashed it hard at a violent swamp crocodile, but the crocodile didn't react at all.

Only a few splashes were created on the water surface, as if the ferocious swamp crocodiles had no reaction to the death of their companions.

A sense of unease welled up in the hearts of the two men. Why did these violent swamp crocodiles have such little desire to attack?

The more they thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong. Behind this unusual calm, it seemed that there was a greater danger hidden.

At this moment, a huge back slowly emerged from the water. Unexpectedly, there was a ferocious swamp crocodile hidden under the water.

The size of this violent swamp crocodile is three times that of an ordinary violent swamp crocodile, and its realm has reached the fifth level.

Its eyes were like two burning charcoal, flashing a fierce light in the night.

"hiss!"

The violent swamp crocodile king roared, shaking the grass leaves on the grassland. All the violent swamp crocodiles turned their heads to look at Hu Qing and the others, their eyes full of hostility.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang felt a tightness in their hearts. They suddenly realized that these violent swamp crocodiles were not not attacking, but were waiting for their leader.

The violent swamp crocodile king stepped on the grassland, and Hu Qing could even feel the ground shaking.

All the violent swamp crocodiles were swimming on the water surface, as if they were ready to eat them alive. The oppressive feeling made it almost impossible for them to breathe.

"Run! This one's too strong, I can't beat it!"

Hu Qing shouted, and the two of them turned around and ran away.

They poured all their spiritual power into their feet, and moved as fast as lightning, but the ferocious swamp crocodiles behind them were even faster. They skimmed across the water, splashing waves and chasing them.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang ran wildly on the grassland, their hearts beating like drums, and every breath was filled with hot air.

They didn't dare look back. They could only hear the roar of the ferocious swamp crocodile getting closer and closer. The fishy wind blew into their noses, filling their hearts with fear.

If I could do it again, I would never dare to do such a stupid thing again.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the sun hanging in the sky gradually rose, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the grassland, bringing a touch of warmth to this land.

The violent swamp crocodile behind him finally stopped slowly. The violent swamp crocodile king looked at Hu Qing and Gu Yang deeply for a few times, as if he wanted to remember their appearance, and then turned and left.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and fell to the ground exhausted. Their legs were almost broken from running.

They lay on the ground, gasping for breath, their sweat mixed with dirt making them look miserable.

"These violent swamp crocodiles are so scary." Gu Yang said panting, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Hu Qing nodded, a wry smile on his face. "We can't do this again. We almost became their breakfast."
