The atmosphere was somewhat solemn as Prince Shou and Lu Bai applied medicine and bandaged Prince Rong's wound.

Mo Yu and another secret guard also woke up with the help of Lu Si and others.

They have to go back quickly.

"Second brother, I remember a giant python took me away?"

Prince Shou's eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously covered Jiang Yue's eyes.

"For some reason, the python threw you at the entrance of the cave and ran away."

Prince Rong was puzzled. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't connect the giant python and Jiang Yue together.

Lu Bai gave a look to the secret guard who followed him to rescue Prince Rong.

The latter then knew that his master and the princess did not want to tell Prince Rong about the giant python.

He nodded in agreement, turned around and left the cave, and killed more than a dozen pheasants and rabbits.

The princess applied medicine and bandaged them, and did not abandon their master when he was sick.

They are their adoptive parents.

All of Prince Shou's secret guards who were not seriously injured started to get busy, roasting chickens and rabbits.

Jiang Yue also took out some seasoning for them and sprinkled it on the chicken and rabbit. It tasted delicious.

She loved cooking, so it wasn't strange for her to wear seasonings on her body, so no one questioned it.

After everyone was bandaged and rested, the secret guards protected the three masters and took the same route that Prince Rong and others had taken.

The leopard has been eaten by the python, and there are no major threats nearby.

Although they were moving very fast, the secret guards were injured after all.

Prince Shou then ordered them to find a flat place to stop and rest.

Mo Yu was injured in the leg, and the other secret guards took turns carrying him.

At this time, he leaned against the tree and took out the whistle in his arms.

A melodious sound was heard, and soon several secret guards flew over from all directions.

They all knelt down and apologized to King Rong.

Five secret guards were killed this time, leaving only eight.

These were all amulets personally selected by Emperor Mingde and allocated to each prince.

So Prince Rong also suffered heavy losses this time.

I have to get to the team before nightfall, for fear that something unexpected will happen.

Soon they reached the swamp they had begun to pass.

Everyone stopped and King Rong told them that there was a monster in the swamp.

It is huge, covered with spikes, has a mouth full of fangs, and is extremely ferocious.

As Prince Rong described, a species emerged in Jiang Yue's mind.

As expected, it should be a crocodile, which was called "鼍龙" in ancient times.

Crocodiles like moist and watery places and are elusive.

It's no surprise that there are alligators in the swamp.

"As Cousin Rong said, I read about it in a travelogue. It's no surprise it's a crocodile. This kind of animal likes to come out to bask in the sun during the day and is active at night."

Jiang Yue was wearing a cloak and standing on a broken tree stump, observing the surrounding environment.

The red fur collar makes her pretty face even more rosy and lively.

"They prefer moist, watery places, such as lakes, shallows, and swamps. They usually hide underwater, with only their noses and eyes showing."

I heard Jiang Yue say that this beast likes to ambush underwater and wait for prey.

The secret guards drew their swords from their waists and looked around vigilantly.

"Also, if you encounter a crocodile, don't panic too much. You can attack its eyes and upper jaw. Those are its most vulnerable areas. Remember, don't run behind a crocodile, as its tail is very powerful."

After Prince Rong's secret guards arrived, Lu Bai withdrew his men and arranged for them to protect Prince Shou and Jiang Yue.

Prince Rong glanced at it silently, his eyes lowered and no one knew what he was thinking.

The crowd walked with their wooden sticks, taking one step deep and one step shallow in the forest filled with murderous intent.

After a while, they arrived at a flat land.

The entire swamp was covered with lush green grass.

"The swamp is ahead, everyone be careful."

The secret guards cleared the way and protected the three masters tightly as they walked along the woods on the shore.

Jiang Yue held the pistol, his eyes slowly sweeping across the calm swamp.

It is two o'clock in the afternoon, the time when the dazzling bright sunshine shines on the earth.

As the crowd gradually approached, they could clearly see a number of huge creatures lying on the vast swamp.

There were no trees blocking the view of the grass, and the sunlight shone directly down.

The saltwater crocodiles were warm in the sun and lying comfortably.

What's more, it is facing the sunlight with its mouth wide open.

Attracting unknown birds.

"Oh my God! It's so big!" The secret guards on Lu Bai's side had never seen a crocodile dragon, and they could tell how terrifying it was just by the description.

After seeing it with my own eyes, I felt that what Mo Yu and the others said was too subtle.

"Shh--" Jiang Yue signaled everyone to be gentle and not wake up these big guys who were enjoying the sunbath.

It turned out to be a saltwater crocodile!

Fighting crocodiles among crocodiles!

It is much more difficult to deal with than ordinary crocodiles.

Lu Bai asked quietly, "Princess, what are those birds doing in the crocodile's mouth?"

"It's called the toothpick bird because crocodiles eat raw meat for a long time, so the gaps between their teeth are large and food often gets stuck in their teeth, causing diseases."

"The toothpick bird is cleaning its teeth, reducing the crocodile's pain. The toothpick bird is able to survive, and the crocodile won't harm it."

"It's a symbiotic relationship, which is quite rare in nature."

Lu Bai looked at Jiang Yue with eyes that turned into stars, "Princess, you know so much!"

Jiang Yue replied complacently, "Just read more books, there is a golden house in the books."

Prince Shou helplessly watched the two of them put their heads together and whispered to each other.

Prince Rong's expression was not very good. Jiang Yue was so familiar with his second brother's guards.

"Be careful!" Mo Yu had sharp eyes and saw a crocodile crawling slowly and suddenly rushing towards them.

He quickly pulled away a secret guard from behind, and everyone was startled by the noise.

The tranquil swamp was awakened by the sound, and more than a dozen saltwater crocodiles turned their mouths and stared over here.

The toothpick bird was frightened and flew away, and the film on the saltwater crocodile's eyes was lifted, revealing the beast's cold and sharp eyes.

The twenty or so people here pointed their swords at the swamp.

Everyone's muscles were tense, and Jiang Yue unconsciously clenched her teeth, not daring to breathe.

She had only seen saltwater crocodiles on TV and had never faced so many in real life!

Faced with so many huge creatures, his legs and feet were trembling.

Prince Rong and Prince Shou turned back at the same time and ordered the secret guards, "Take the princess away first!"

Jiang Yue retorted, "No! Let's go together!"

Before the two could reply, a saltwater crocodile quickly attacked them.

The pale, cold giant teeth in the wide-open mouth looked particularly scary.

Before Jiang Yue could fire, Lu Bai and his men attacked.

However, the saltwater crocodile's thick skin is not affected by swords at all.

Instead, he swept his sword and knocked one of the secret guards onto a tree.

When everyone saw its tail, they found it was just as the princess had said, magnificent and powerful.

They all got away.

At once, two more came to attack, and Jiang Yue's secret guards flew up and fought with them.

Jiang Yue was lifted up the tree by the two brothers by the back of her clothes. She stood on the thick trunk and looked down anxiously.

"Second brother, keep an eye on Yue'er." Prince Rong said, then jumped down from the tree and attacked the saltwater crocodile's eyes.

With one thrust of the sword, he successfully blinded a saltwater crocodile's eyes.

The latter rolled over twice on the ground in pain, and after getting up, he opened his fang-filled mouth and bit towards King Rong angrily.

At the critical moment.

With a "bang", the saltwater crocodile opened its mouth wide and was about to bite King Rong, and blood spurted out from its upper jaw.

The huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, and he died with his eyes open.

Prince Rong looked up at the tree and saw the gun in Jiang Yue's hand was still smoking.
