“Ahhhhhhh!”
Both mother and daughter screamed, with the thought that this would probably be the last they would cry in their lives!
As a result, an unremarkable shadow suddenly jumped up from the swamp. The figure stretched itself to the limit, as it was a shadow less than one meter long. It instantly jumped from being a flat shadow to a three-dimensional object-a giant Buddha surrounded by gleaming golden light.
It was several times larger than the crocodile.
Roar!
The Buddha chanted a loud Buddhist hymn, one that was earth-shattering.
The crocodile had lunged forward intending to devour the mother and daughter, but its two green pupils suddenly shrank, and its elongated body flipped abruptly in the air. Its massive jaws shut in surprise, and it didn’t have the time to pay any more attention to the mother-daughter pair.
Boom!
The crocodile’s gigantic body fell to the ground, causing the swamp to overflow, splashing mud and water everywhere.
The creature tried desperately to flee into the depths of the swamp. Before it disappeared, it turned its head and glanced back, horror flashing in its eyes…
It had been stunned!
The giant Buddha, so terrifying, burst like a bubble and dispersed into the air.
Roar!
Furious, the giant crocodile impatiently spouted mists oI water from its nostrils. It had been cheated!
D*mn it! The crocodile was king of this swamp, but an illusion deceived it. How embarrassing was that? It roared in rage, attempting to tell these puny humans that the deception would cost them a heavy price.
It was going to crush them all and tear them to pieces!
The crocodile did another death-roll, its huge tail slapping on the surface of the swamp. Then, it lunged forward again at high speed.
“Awooo!”
When Frostine’s fourth sister-in-law took a good look at Alex’s appearance, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she didn’t know what to say.
Alex didn’t intend to remain there. With a thought in his mind, he disappeared again in a flash.
“Mommy, is he… Is he a fairy?”
“No, h-he… He’s a calamity!”
Her husband had been killed, and she saw it happening with her own eyes. That was why, even if Alex had saved them, there would be no gratitude in her heart. Besides, how could a woman with a low cultivation base like her survive with a child in this swamp? How would they get out? He had only killed the crocodile for them, but he didn’t lead them out from the swamp. What was the use in that?
“Mommy, what should we do?
“I’m hungry…”
Frostine’s fourth sister-in-law was filled with grief and indignation. Tears fell from her eyes. If she knew this would be the case, it would be better to have been eaten by the crocodile!
Just then, a figure appeared behind them. When the mother-daughter pair looked, they were shocked. How should they put it… It looked like Alex, sort of. In fact, it looked more like a paper doll.
