"Cough cough~ Cough cough cough……….."
"Little… boy, you’re a ‘bracelet wielder’?"
The crocodile-man coughed and repeated the same question, his face filled with disbelief.
"Bracelet wielder? Someone who wears a bracelet?"
Ye Feng frowned slightly, took out the bracelet again, and looked at the crocodile-man. "Are you referring to someone wearing this bracelet on their hand as a bracelet wielder?"
"Hahaha~!"
The crocodile-man stared at the bracelet on Ye Feng’s hand for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Kid, you're actually a bracelet wielder… Hahaha…"
"As a bracelet wielder… you still dare to get involved with enhancement serum…"
"And you traveled such a long way to a place like Zhanbi City, attempting to obtain enhancement serum…"
"Bracelet wielder… Kid, you… you’ve provoked an organization no one can afford to offend… an organization no one on this continent can afford to offend…"
"Haha… Ha… Enjoy the rest of your life of inescapable despair… Ha… Cough cough…"
The crocodile-man laughed maniacally, looking at Ye Feng with mocking and pitying eyes, as if Ye Feng were the one on the verge of death!
"Bracelet wielder?"
"Involved with enhancement serum?"
"Organization? An organization no one can afford to offend? This continent?"
Ye Feng furrowed his brows tightly, pondering the crocodile-man’s words.
"The divine stone inscription passed down for thousands of years… The enhancement serum researched from mysterious enhancement fruits… That organization…"
"Cough cough~ Cough cough… I am so unwilling… I should have been the chosen one…"
At this moment, the crocodile-man's voice sounded again, his voice weaker.
"Enhancement fruit?"
Ye Feng hadn't understood much of what the crocodile-man had been saying before.
Now, hearing about the enhancement fruit, Ye Feng reflexively thought of the unknown wild fruit he had picked at the small wooden cabin earlier.
The first time he picked it, the system didn't give any prompts. Only when he was about to leave did it prompt that it was a ripe enhancement fruit…
"Hey, crocodile-man, is this the enhancement fruit you're talking about?"
As he spoke, Ye Feng took out a bright red, fist-sized fruit from his spatial warehouse, which looked somewhat like a tomato.
"Kid, the enhancement fruit is so mysterious, only super strong individuals might possess it. How could you possibly have…"
The crocodile-man stopped mid-sentence.
He widened his eyes and stared intently at the bright red fruit in Ye Feng's hand.
That's right!
It was it!
Although the crocodile-man had only seen it from afar years ago, he had never forgotten the craving from the depths of his soul when facing an enhancement fruit!
"En… Enhancement fruit… Ripe… Ripe!"
The crocodile-man's voice trembled, and his eyes looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"No… Impossible, how can you possibly have an enhancement fruit!"
"Impossible!"
"Impossible!"
The crocodile-man, whose face was as pale as parchment and who had difficulty speaking, suddenly flushed and his eyes turned blood red as he shouted.
Finally, he even got up from the ground and ran towards Ye Feng…
But as soon as he took a step, before his back foot could catch up, he stumbled forward and crashed heavily onto the ground.
This crash was devastating. The crocodile-man’s body disintegrated, bones flew everywhere, and his internal organs spilled out…
"Thump~!"
Suddenly, a zombie fell.
Precisely, it landed with its buttocks on the crocodile-man’s head, instantly crushing it!
"This…"
Ye Feng was slightly stunned by the series of events.
Immediately, Ye Feng swung his Tang saber, finishing off the zombie.
"Big brother, are you alright?"
At this moment, a worried voice from Xiao Xiao sounded from behind Ye Feng.
"I'm fine, just a bit tired!"
Ye Feng shook his head slightly.
"Right, Xiao Xiao, why did you run over here? It was dangerous!"
After a pause, Ye Feng added.
"It was my idea!"
Before Xiao Xiao could answer, Ling Xi chimed in.
"Hmm?"
Ye Feng frowned, not quite understanding why Ling Xi had done that.
"When that crocodile-dinosaur beast appeared, I was worried about your safety, so I brought Xiao Xiao over!"
"Before you tell me what interests me, I don't want you to die like this…"
"However, before I could make a move, someone acted faster than me~ And succeeded!"
Saying this, Ling Xi looked at Xiao Xiao with a surprised expression.
"Hmm? What interests me?"
Ye Feng frowned, clearly not understanding what Ling Xi was referring to.
"What happened in Maple Leaf Town!~"
As she spoke, Ling Xi pointed at the Angel's Blade in her hand. "You said back then that there were quite a few things that couldn't be explained!"
"What are you talking about?"
The more Ling Xi spoke, the more confused Ye Feng became.
"Wait, you acted?"
Ye Feng looked at Ling Xi with surprise. "Didn't you say you lost your angel power and were like an ordinary little girl?"
Ling Xi smiled slightly and didn't answer.
"Fine, if you won't say~"
"Anyway, the little girl you're talking about is different from what I understand~"
Ye Feng mumbled and then began to scan his surroundings.
"Big brother, it's so smelly here, and so many zombies are surrounding us!"
"Let's leave here first~"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's voice rang out.
As she spoke, she covered her nose with one hand and pointed at the viscous fluid the crocodile-man had transformed into, as well as the zombies approaching in the distance.
"Okay, sure!~"
"Ah, big brother, you're bleeding a lot, and there are so many big bubbles here…"
……
The next day,
Morning,
"From that guy Lin Senhai, to the crocodile-man in Zhanbi City… things seem to be getting complicated!~"
After a fierce battle yesterday, Ye Feng sustained injuries in multiple places, and his muscles ached everywhere.
The skin not covered by his clothes had suffered severe burns from the crocodile-man's internal heat…
As a result, Ye Feng was heavily bandaged, looking like a mummy. At this moment, he was sitting on a large rock in the ruins, resting. Recalling his recent experiences, he couldn't help but murmur.
According to the dog-headed bat, the crocodile-man had someone behind him, a person named Dr. C. The crocodile-man also mentioned a seemingly powerful organization.
This organization was also related to "bracelet wielders"!
"What did this crocodile-man want with the bracelet wielders?"
"This crocodile-man and his subordinates don't seem like the kind of lunatics Lin Senhai was, who killed for meat…"
"What is the relationship between 'bracelet wielders' and enhancement serum… What are enhancement fruits and enhancement serum all about…"
Ye Feng looked at the bracelet in his hand, lost in thought.
"Big brother, I found two intact tubes here. They should be what you call enhancement serum!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's voice came from afar.
"Okay, I'm coming right over!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng immediately ended his rest, stood up, and slowly walked towards Xiao Xiao's location.
