In the forest, a tall figure rose up and stood atop the Innate Giant Crocodile, holding a bone-white Long Spear. Beneath his feet lay the formidable Innate Giant Crocodile, now felled.
This was a youth who appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a tender face that still bore traces of childishness. However, his strength was overwhelming; such a terrifying Innate Giant Crocodile was brought down by a single spear thrust, unable to rise again.
This person was Ye Chen.
Earlier, he had launched his Bone Spear, catching the Innate Giant Crocodile unawares as it lay in the marsh, the weapon penetrating its abdomen and leaving a deep wound, grievously injuring the creature.
A brief battle ensued, fierce enough to flatten a swath of forest. But, because the Innate Giant Crocodile was already injured and Ye Chen was extraordinarily powerful, the beast was defeated and began to flee, with Ye Chen in relentless pursuit.
