Chapter 620
Concurrently while preparing their bait, Reef also located a group of nesting Deathmarsh Great Crocodiles; a family of six that probably included three generations of crocodiles .
Proceeding on, Sheyan and Reef both separated, each towards 150 metres north and south of the crocodile nest .
Coordinating through their party channel, they each retrieved a decapitated chunk of ape from their nightmare imprint and flung them into the swampy waters .
Very naturally, the group of Deathmarsh Great Crocodiles caught the scent of blood . Under the enticement of food, they segregated into two groups; one waddling towards the north and one to the south .
While the crocodiles searched and feasted, Sheyan and Reef hastily converged at the north . From there, they distanced several hundreds of metres away from each other and tossed in bloodied bait once again .
In this manner, once those Deathmarsh Great Crocodiles at the north had completed their meal, another batch of alluring blood scent would segregate them once again .
This instance of separation was exactly the moment Sheyan and Reef were waiting for!
There wasn’t much need to elaborate on the following events . After slaughtering the first Deathmarsh Great Crocodile, their favourable plan then commenced . Expending a total of 12-13 hours, the contestants finally managed to slay four of these Deathmarsh Great Crocodiles . The remaining two crocodiles were then deterred to flee after sensing fear… . .
Only at this point, did Sheyan and Reef realized that not every Deathmarsh Great Crocodile would produce that valuable ‘virus immunity’ option . Only matured Deathmarsh Great Crocodiles or boss tier creatures would offer it .
Furthermore, apart from the devastating tail whip of these Deathmarsh Great Crocodiles, some even possessed their personal unique abilities like mudslap etc . Abilities that could effectively diminish their opponent’s movement speed, which would prevent agile long-range combatants like Mogensha from kiting them .
Utilizing a day’s worth of time, they managed to hunt down nearly 10 Deathmarsh Great Crocodiles, thereby propelling their stacked immunity to 70% . At present, they had widely reduced their chances of infection by ordinary viruses of the outer reaches of the marshland . Furthermore, even if they, unfortunately, contracted any disease, it would only last for roughly 23 seconds in their body .
With this preparation, they were now fundamentally ready to continue their campaign against the other Ndipaya tribe villages .
Apart from their thick skin, the most thorny issue pertaining to those barbarians were the vile pestilences . Since they had finally eliminated the greatest threat, the matter should naturally not be delayed .
Besides, slaughtering those Deathmarsh Great Crocodiles had also provided profits of nearly 80,000 utility points, in addition to acquiring two ‘Deathmarsh Greatcroc Soul’ Horcrux . Strangely, not a single equipment had surfaced .
From this, one could imagine that since the chances of an equipment were so sparse, equipments that surface here should probably be rather special . Once they appear, their potential would certainly be incredible .
Of course, other Deathmarsh Great Crocodiles in the area weren’t blocks of wood . After realizing that their species was mysteriously disappearing and perceiving a threat, they began congregating in groups; not willing to segregate even upon sighting any prey .
Moreover, the crocodiles were exceedingly savage . When Sheyan had attempted to infuriate them by baiting them with the carcass of a young crocodile, the eventual outcome had instead left him flabbergasted . Those monsters had spared no expense in devouring the young carcass and even appeared distinctly content in doing so .
Witnessing such a scene, both Sheyan and Reef could only feel utter disgust and helplessness!
Sadly, during their gruelling battles, regardless of how cautious the contestants had been, one of Reef’s servants still, unfortunately, met his demise .
Even though Reef was a Growth-hunter, they were merely low-tier servants that could only receive their master’s attributes as a bonus; not being able to bolster their master’s strength . Also, it was impossible to revive that servant unless Reef returned to the realm and ‘authenticated’ him .
In spite of that, the capabilities of the 6 other native servants had continued to rapidly improve . Initially, their might was akin to ordinary humans, yet they had swiftly matured while hunting legendary creatures . Moreover, they similarly inherited Reef’s attributes of exceptional endurance, which enhanced the toughness of their skin .
At present, they could tank 2-3 direct blows from a Deathmarsh Great Crocodile without dying .
Furthermore, those 6 native servants had even tied vines around the back of their wooden pikes as weapons, allowing them to employ them as long-range javelins as well as close combat pikes .
Throughout the course of the battle, every time they suffered injuries, they would retreat behind the back of their master and enjoy the healing rejuvenation of Reef’s ‘Parasite Sage-Scarab’ ability .
Lastly, during their hunt, Sheyan wasn’t merely searching for crocodiles . Relying on his keen mind and abundant energy, he gradually explored and familiarized himself with the geography of the place . Concurrently, he also investigated the state of affairs of this Kijuju Marshland .
Ultimately, he discovered that only a tiny portion of the marshland had been revealed so far, and there were two layers of protection encompassing the inner reaches of this Kijuju Marshland .
The first layer was a bottomless quagmire, that could only be traversed using a special canoe called a ‘Ghanmuata’ by the natives .
