Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

There!

He seemed to have seen the light at the end of the tunnel.

(^0^)

Donghai wanted to cry and jubilate with all his might. However, a simple glance behind made his body subconsciously pick up the pace.

The crocs had glowing green eyes and sharp teeth with elongated smiles that seemed too creepy.

Mommy...

He crawled faster than any baby and soon reached the exit.

There, he saw a few tree vines once again blocking the damn bath.

Luckily, this time, there was a small opening he could squeeze through.

Hahaha!!...

Those crocs would never be able to pass through this space!

He felt like giving offerings at a shrine, thanking the heavens he was born with a human body.

Without a moment to share, he passed his body through, starting with his head first.

However, how could things go so easily?

What??!!

Donghai realized the creature's claws had caught a thin layer of his pants in the nick of time.

F***!

Just a few more milli-inches and that claw would've pierced deep into his skin.

.

"You let go!"

Donghai yanked his clothes away, causing them to rip.

He took advantage of this, hastily distancing himself from the trapped crocs on the other side.

'Safe!' He thought.

But where was he?

Leah, who had her buckets of water handing over her shoulders, was shocked to see Donghai appear from underneath a thigh-length stream.

(!..!)

"Leader, what's going on with you?"

"Don't ask." Donghai dragged gis tired body towards the shores. He felt his adventures were definitely worth more than any blockbuster movie.

Very quickly, Leah placed her water buckets down, rushing to hell the slightly injured Donghai.

He had scrapped his body quite a lot to get out. And now, out of the water, his clothes were stained with blood.

.

Ah!-

Leah rushed toward him in worry. But before she could reach his side, someone... Or rather, something else had already beaten her to the punch.

"Boss! Behind you!!!"

Splash!

The dumbfounded Leah saw Donghai and the strange 2-meter Long croc vanish into the high-level pink stream.

It took her brain a full second to react before she started looking around for rocks or objects to help defend and rescue the boss against the strange croc.

"Boss! Boss... Just hold on... Wait for me!!"

Before she even moved, Donghai and the croc appeared again, making huge splashes everywhere.

At this time, Donghai desperately held the croc's mouth apart with all his might.

And the other few carrying water buckets were also stunned beyond belief.

"F***! Is this even a Crocodile?!"

"The boss is really too fierce to fight such a crocodile on his own!"

"Quickly! Quickly! We have to help the boss!!"

In a flash, chaos filled the scene as the gang of police officers speedily picked sharp objects and rushed towards the stream too.

At this moment, everyone was a caveman, relying on raw strength to subdue the enemy.

Luckily for them, this was the only croc that managed to get out, thanks to its slim body.

"Quickly! Pierce, its jaws with the sticks!"

"Watch out for its tails!"

"Leah!!!" She was thrown away with force.

"Fight back! Fight back! Stone the bastard with everything we've got!"

Bam! Bam! Pah! Pah! Ptchui!

The gang fought bravely until they managed to heavily unhurt the croc's mouth.

Its outer body was pretty solid. So its insides were their best bets.

And after creating a chance to flee, they hastily reached the shores as fast as possible.

.

Grawww~

The croc seemed unwilling, wanting to step out and attack them.

However, it soon found out it couldn't pass the shores, as though some strange force was holding it back.

Leah and the rest all understood.

Here in the Handyman area, these many regions were protected, preventing all animals from attacking them, mortals.

But the situation would of course be different in the other regions.

That's right.

Ince in the outer sect, some beasts could be allowed to sneak in.

These beasts could easily be handled by those there. So why should the restriction bother keeping them away? 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

This was also a good training opportunity for those there.

If one couldn't even defend their sleeping quarters, then what is the use of being able to cultivate?

If anything, the auras of those there should make the intruding creatures quiver so much that they dared not move around the place.

The only regions that would be protected against all creatures would be the Medicine Halls that free all plants essential to creating pills, elixirs, and potions.

Also, the sites where the crystals grew out, as well as all sacred places like the Milky pond (to be rewarded in future), would be protected too.

Bottom line, in the Handyman region, these mortals could work without fear of having creatures pop out and attack them.

Provided they don't go too far into the waters and remain around the shores, they would always be safe.

.

Grawww~~

The 2-meter Long Blue crocodile croaked unwillingly.

It kept moving left to right, right to left restlessly, not wanting to give up.

So how could it be a match against the System's protective formations?

(:T^T:)

So unfair...

It and its family had been robbed but couldn't even take revenge thanks to the stupid force holding it back.

Grawww!~

It growled a few more times, looking at Donghai vengefully before diving into the waters again.

Sigh... What else could it do but give up?

Splash!!!~

Everyone watched its tail splash above the surface until it was gone.

'...'

Phew.

The gang lay on the ground with their hands and feet apart, ducking in all the air they could take.

And after calming down for a bit, they began laughing like fools.

"Bahahahahah~... I've never felt so alive!!"

"That's for sure! Who will believe we defeated the strange croc with our care hands? So good! I'm now ready to write my autobiography!"

"Pff!~ Who would want to read about you?"

"Boss! Com'on! Tell us... How the hell did you anger that thing? I'm no animal expert, but even I can see how much hatred that beast has for you. What did you do? Steal its egg or something?"

Donghai shook his head. "No. Not an egg... Bug this."

Wow!

Outside the underground cave, the fruits glistened magically when exposed to sunlight.

This... This... What sort of fruit was this?
