Name: None

Species: Devil Crocodile

[Race: Thunder Crocodile]

[Level: 23]

Age: 10

[Health Volume: 3574/3742]

【Spirit: 54】

[Magic Power: 548/861]

【Strength: 114】

[Agility: 21]

【Intelligence: 19】

Individual Abilities:

Electric Grid: A small-scale lightning grid, lightning magic.

Steel Teeth: Uses magic to make teeth stronger and sharper.

[Weakness: Back; damaging the back will affect the power of its lightning magic.]

It has high defense and high attack, but it's not particularly agile, and its magic power is quite low. However, it probably doesn't rely on magic.

Besides these, it has other magic:

[Eedule: The movement of water to create a whirlpool; water magic.]

This magic is very useful; it can not only create eddies to pull other creatures in, but also propel itself to accelerate underwater.

[Lightning Possession: Imbues the body with lightning, enhancing other lightning magic.]

The lightning that was crackling on the back of the Thunder Crocodile earlier was actually thanks to this magic. Once this magic is activated, other lightning spells can be activated quickly, and the attacks will be imbued with lightning.

These few spells reveal Thunder Crocodile's hunting style: first, it uses vortexes to approach its target, and then it uses electric nets to attack the enemy.

Moreover, even in close combat, it can tear through the enemy's defenses with its sharp teeth and paralyze the enemy with its electrified body.

Overall, it's very strong underwater.

Klein swam underwater and tested his magic, catching some fish with the electric net. He'd bring them back to the plantation for Yanami, who had mentioned wanting grilled fish.

As he swam, Klein suddenly bumped into a tree root.

Upon reaching the water's surface, Klein discovered that he had entered a much denser mangrove forest, with a canopy covering the water's surface, through which only the vein-like gaps between the canopies allowed light to filter through.

My sense of direction is terrible underwater, I accidentally went the wrong way... but it seems like we're almost there.

Just as Klein was about to swim back, a commotion suddenly came from the distant treetops.

The tree canopy was trembling, as if something was moving on it.

"Ughhhhh..."

What's that sound? A monkey?

The tree canopies trembled one after another, accompanied by strange barking sounds. The trembling got closer and closer, slowly spreading from a small patch to a large area.

Is this... a whole group?

They moved swiftly, quickly moving from the distant treetops to near Klein, where he spotted black fur through the gaps in the canopy.

pat.

A crisp sound suddenly came from not far away, which Klein recognized as the sound of a tree trunk breaking.

Immediately afterwards, a black figure fell from the treetop, and Klein finally saw what it was.

Looking at the head, it's a black monkey with fine downy fur, but looking at the body... it's a slightly bloated body, but strangely, it seems to have six limbs and a long tail behind it.

It looks disgusting... If you only look at the outline, you would definitely think it's a spider.

What is this thing? Is it a spider monkey?

thump.

The spider monkey failed to grab onto any other branches during its fall and landed in the swamp with the broken tree trunk attached to it.

The Thunder Crocodile is very sensitive to vibrations. The waves created by the Spider Monkey splashing in the water in the distance were very noticeable when they reached Klein.

Thinking about it, the reason I attracted the crocodiles when I was catching fish was probably because the vibrations from the many vines swaying together underwater were too obvious.

"Ughhhhh!"

The spider monkey cried out in alarm, but its companions did not stop. Instead, they bypassed the monkey that had fallen into the water, avoiding the area.

Shouldn't monkeys care about their companions? What a heartless monkey.

Klein dived underwater and used the Thunder Crocodile's magic: Vortex.

The eddy current, when used correctly, sucks in others; when used incorrectly, it sucks in yourself. Klein moved quickly underwater using the eddy current and soon arrived beneath the drowning monkey.

Through the murky water, Klein saw its six paws thrashing about, swimming toward a tree trunk not far away.

Who would have thought that one day I would become a crocodile hunting a monkey that had fallen into the water? The world is truly amazing.

vortex!

The water flow was reversed, and the water that was originally propelling Klein was swept towards the drowning monkey. The invisible water flow carried away the scum in the water, which gathered into a whirlpool that rolled towards the bottom of the water.

"Squeak!"

The water, like invisible hands, pulled the monkey's body downwards, while at the same time, Klein was gathering lightning.

Sizzle... Lightning gathered on the back of the Thunder Crocodile, and the moisture covering its back evaporated into gas.

The spider monkey, which had fallen into the water, was swept to the bottom and approached Klein. It lowered its head in fear and looked through the murky water at Klein's eyes, which were illuminated by lightning.

Its pupils contracted sharply, and it began frantically paddling its six limbs toward the surface of the water, but it was no match for the force of the current and continued to slide uncontrollably downwards.

Just as it approached the attack range, it suddenly turned around, and Klein prepared to unleash an electric net on it.

But as it turned around, it revealed its rather long tail... Wait a minute!

Whoosh!

As the spider monkey approached Klein, it suddenly swung its tail at him, but missed.

Klein did not activate the electric grid; instead, he manipulated the vortex to carry himself away.

At this moment, it can be clearly seen that it has a sharp, hooked thorn at the end of its tail.

Its tail is like a scorpion's; it might be poisonous.

So is this a scorpion monkey?

I almost got ambushed, but luckily I was on my guard.

While dodging the scorpion monkey's stings, Klein swung his powerful tail at it.

boom!

The tail struck the scorpion monkey's two legs, and the accumulated lightning struck the monkey's body along the tail, instantly freezing it in place.

Electric power grid!

Just to be on the safe side, Klein threw out another electric net, which pounced on the scorpion monkey.

Immediately afterwards, using the power of the water flow, Klein controlled the Thunder Crocodile to charge forward and crush its head in one bite.

Scorpion monkeys are one thing, but once they become parasitic, you can't bring them back, and they look disgusting.

Let it become experience.

Following the vortex, Klein used a death roll to completely twist the scorpion monkey's head off.

The water was stained crimson, and Klein floated to the surface with the blood. He looked up; the monkey troop seemed enormous and was still fleeing.

However, after Klein's meddling, the other scorpion monkeys became even less willing to approach the area.

I have no idea what they're trying to escape from... Anyway, let's kill a few more to level up while we can.

So, how do we catch them? Should we cut down the trees and let them fall into the water?

"roar--"

As Klein pondered, he heard the roars of other monsters coming from the direction the monkeys had fled from, followed by the monkeys' screams of agony.

It seems something is chasing them.

In short... I should leave this place. Even a group of monkeys could kill me, let alone the monster that made the monkeys escape.

Klein abandoned his plan to hunt the monkey and quickly returned to the path he had taken to the swamp, using the vines to pull the heavy Thunder Crocodile up.
