Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 178 – Three pet eggs

"Tyrant Bite!"

The Thunder Crocodile's massive jaws opened wide, making Lin Jichen's small frame appear so insignificant in comparison, as if it could be bitten in half in one gulp!

Even though Lin Jichen knew he wouldn't die from this bite, he still didn't want to be bitten by this foul-smelling crocodile.

With a speed of 272, twice that of the Thunder Crocodile, dodging was a piece of cake.

The Thunder Crocodile bit into the air, and in its frustration, turned to pounce on Lin Jichen again.

At this moment, Panda Xiong rejoined the battle, using its two paws to grab the upper and lower jaws of the Thunder Crocodile, locking it in a stalemate.

"Good job, Panda Xiong! Once we kill it, you can have crocodile meat!"

Lin Jichen stepped forward, slashing with his sword.

After his life-and-death battle with Li Chang'an last time, his swordsmanship had improved significantly.

With each full-force strike, he could hit the crocodile's most vulnerable eyes.

Splat!

The Thunder Crocodile's eyes finally couldn't withstand the assault and burst open, blood mist spreading.

Blinded, the Thunder Crocodile became extremely agitated, frantically trying to retaliate.

But Panda Xiong didn't give it a chance to go berserk, activating Absolute Defense and slamming it to the ground.

Lin Jichen only needed to deal damage from the side, delivering a few more slashes.

The Thunder Crocodile finally lost its life, dying miserably on the spot.

[Cultivation +0 points! Reached bottleneck, please break through as soon as possible!]

[Panda Xiong's cultivation +1000 points!]

After killing the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect last time, Lin Jichen's later stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation experience was already full, now he just needed to break through.

He released Panda Xiong to let it gain experience and level up faster.

He had already collected over a dozen Beast Spirit Pills from the auction house, enough for the Iron-Eating Beast to break through to the Crystal Realm.

However, after reaching the Crystal Realm, it would need Monster Beast Pills to break through further.

Lin Jichen's strength had already surpassed Panda Xiong's by a lot, and if he didn't nurture it, his pet would become useless.

Pets could be summoned in solo mode, such as in solo Secret Realms.

In future Ascension Tournaments, solo challenges, and other activities, pets could be summoned for PK.

So pets were very important and had to be well-trained.

Moreover, Lin Jichen's Iron-Eating Beast had great potential, capable of reaching the Gathering Spirit Realm, making it an important early-stage combat member for Lin Jichen.

"This Thunder Crocodile is all yours, eat as much as you want."

After Lin Jichen finished speaking, he casually sliced open the Thunder Crocodile's body, chopping up the meat to make it easier for Panda Xiong to eat.

Panda Xiong didn't hold back, feasting on the Thunder Crocodile. This damned little lizard dared to bully it, it had to eat its meat!

[Ding! Panda Xiong's loyalty to you +1 point!]

Not bad, helping it get revenge and providing a meal had some benefits.

Lin Jichen took the opportunity to walk over to the Thunder Crocodile's Soul Burial Mound and rummaged through it.

He found a piece of Spirit Grade equipment and a Thunder Crystal Stone.

[Spirit Grade Armor · Thunder Crocodile Armor]: Defense +30, Heart Protection +15, Speed -5.

Requirement: Crystal Realm players only.

This equipment could only be used by Crystal Realm players.

Lin Jichen wasn't interested at all, and the armor was heavy, reducing speed when worn.

Clearly, this equipment was more suitable for tank or body cultivator players.

Lin Jichen tossed it into his Storage Ring and looked at the remaining Thunder Crystal Stone in his hand.

[Spirit Grade Ore · Thunder Crystal Stone]: High-grade ore material for crafting thunder attribute equipment.

This ore was good, just right to take back to the equipment shop for the blacksmiths to craft equipment.

Lin Jichen stored the two items, while Panda Xiong continued to eat happily in the rain.

Lin Jichen wanted to wait for it to finish eating, but suddenly noticed more Thunder Crocodiles swimming over.

And not just one!

One, two, three...

A total of seven Bloodthirsty Thunder Crocodiles!

Thunder Crocodiles were social animals, usually living in the same territory.

They had smelled the blood of their companion and quickly came to support.

"Stop eating, let's run." Lin Jichen saw Panda Xiong still engrossed in eating, and couldn't help but laugh and cry, quickly calling it to run.

Although he wasn't afraid of these Bloodthirsty Thunder Crocodiles, once the fight started, it would create too much commotion, easily attracting other monsters or cultivators.

Cautious as always, Lin Jichen didn't want to take such a risk.

Just as Lin Jichen was about to leave, he noticed a Thunder Crocodile crawling out from a bush in the distance.

The bush was originally well-hidden, but as the Thunder Crocodile emerged, it pushed aside the grass, revealing something white inside.

Lin Jichen's sharp eyes immediately recognized that there were three eggs in the bush!

Those were Thunder Crocodile eggs!

Lin Jichen immediately abandoned the idea of running, his gaze locked on those three Thunder Crocodile eggs!

Thunder Crocodile eggs could be used as pets.

And Thunder Crocodiles were quite strong, capable of reaching the later stage of Crystal Formation.

They were tough and could fight, making them good pet candidates.

Although Lin Jichen wasn't interested, it didn't mean other players wouldn't be.

If these eggs were put up for auction, it was imaginable that many players would spend a fortune on them.

Moreover, Thunder Crocodile eggs were hard to find because mother crocodiles would protect their eggs to the death. If they found themselves losing, they would rather destroy the eggs than let others have them.

So to get these three eggs, Lin Jichen had to act before the mother crocodile returned to the nest.

"Panda Xiong, we're not running, attack!"

Lin Jichen abandoned the idea of running, launching an attack first, unleashing a flurry of strikes on one of the Thunder Crocodiles!

The seven Thunder Crocodiles quickly launched their assault on the man and the bear.

"Blade Storm!"

Lin Jichen didn't want to waste time, fearing that delays would cause complications, and wanted to end the battle quickly.

The sword array swept the four Thunder Crocodiles into it.

The perfected Blade Storm dealt 800 damage per second, lasting 8 seconds.

Combined with Lin Jichen's base damage.

Each second dealt 2300 damage, and within eight seconds, no Thunder Crocodile could withstand it.

The four Thunder Crocodiles turned into corpses in an instant.

The remaining three, Panda Xiong held off one, while Lin Jichen turned into a shadow, attacking the other two.

Without any surprises, within half an incense stick's time, all six Thunder Crocodiles were dead!

The last mother crocodile, seeing it was no match, broke free from Panda Xiong's grip and turned to run towards the nest, intending to destroy its eggs before dying!

But its speed was no match for Lin Jichen, who quickly caught up and killed it with a few slashes!

Without any hesitation, Lin Jichen leaped forward, rushing into the bush.

Sure enough, three balloon-sized Thunder Crocodile eggs lay quietly inside.

[Thunder Crocodile Egg]: Can hatch Bloodthirsty Thunder Crocodile, 100% loyalty.

Lin Jichen smiled, putting all three eggs into his bag.

This unexpected windfall made him quite happy.

After collecting the three eggs, Lin Jichen didn't dare linger, quickly calling Panda Xiong to run.

Panda Xiong's cultivation was full and ready to break through.

But Lin Jichen didn't dare let it break through here, planning to take it elsewhere.

Just as the man and bear were about to leave, an arrow suddenly shot towards Lin Jichen from behind!

Someone had arrived!
