Chapter 313: Cooperating with Senior Brother to Use Gunpowder to Drive Away the Emperor Crocodile

If these men rebel, their physical strength would be different; although the women here are also quite tall, there is still a huge gap in power between men and women.

Ayina just smiled and retorted, "Om, don't you know?"

Nan Qinghuan shook her head—what could she possibly know? Ayina smiled, "We have divine spells and Gu Worm control; they wouldn't dare."

"Gu Worm?"

Nan Qinghuan was greatly astonished—could this be the origin of the oldest Witch Gu Art? She had actually uncovered the ancient origin of the Witch Gu Art; these clever ancient women already knew how to use these Gu Worms to control men.

It must be said, it opened her eyes.

"Gu Worm, what is Gu Worm?"

She wanted to know what Gu Worm was, whether it was the same as the Yunnan Gu Worm she knew. Ayina smiled, then took a worm from beside her, "Here, take a look."

When Nan Qinghuan saw the worm, she was so stunned she could not speak.

"Isn't that a Silkworm Baby?" "Is this also Gu Worm?"

"This isn't a Gu; it's a worm that can be used to make things."

She realized she had arrived at a highly developed place; the locals knew how to raise silkworms, so perhaps silk already existed here? Yet after looking for a long time she saw no silk, so maybe these ancient people only used Silkworm Babies for Gu? While she was daydreaming, she saw something else.

"Hey, what's that for?"

"It's furniture, Goddess. Thank you for saving me last time; I should have properly thanked you, but now a great disaster has struck Jiuzhou Dadi. If this isn't resolved, everyone will be in danger."

Those words made Nan Qinghuan's face darken, "What matter?"

She had just overheard Ying and the others discussing something.

Ayina sighed, "A Giant Dragon has appeared in Yili Forest, already destroying several tribes and growing larger. This time A Mother wants to gather everyone to discuss a plan; the dragon has already devoured many people. If we don't find a way to eliminate it, all Jiuzhou Tribes will be eaten."

"Giant Dragon?"

Nan Qinghuan hadn't expected this—ancient times still had Giant Dragons that ate people and swallowed tribes? "Let's go, I'll escort you back."

Just as Nan Qinghuan was about to leave, Li Xiang's voice came from behind.

"Junior sister."

Nan Qinghuan startled, turned and looked; Li Xiang was standing there watching her, and she naturally turned to look at him.

The two silently stared at each other.

Li Xiang stepped beside her, appraising her, "Why are you here?"

Nan Qinghuan thought of Ying letting Ashu handle things and whispered, "Hurry back; there's danger near Rongdi."

"Those savages want to kill me?"

"Alright, senior brother, you should go back. I can't say more; Ying will be displeased when he finds out."

Leaving those words, she turned to leave, when suddenly the ground began to quake.

Ayina heard the commotion and the huge roar, and she grew anxious, "Bad, the Giant Dragon is coming, hide quickly."

Nan Qinghuan was about to speak when Ying rushed in; seeing Li Xiang there, his blood boiled and he quickly pulled Nan Qinghuan behind him.

"The Giant Dragon is here; I'm taking everyone to resist it. Stay put here and don't leave, understand?"

"Ying, I'm going with you."

"You stay."

Ying is now the most powerful Clan Leader, so the heads of the other tribes obey his command. If they don't find a way to drive away the Giant Dragon, it will keep eating its way to their tribes, making this a matter all tribal leaders must tackle together.

Their gear was simple—just a few long blades and long swords. Ying had a sharp Xuantie Long Blade, but for the Giant Dragon, even a scratch was insufficient.

Soon they all went, and a continuous roar kept echoing from that side, which made Nan Qinghuan very worried.

"Ying"

"Junior sister, don't go. Some savages have a conscience and didn't take you away. Come with me; we can return at midnight. Senior brother will take you back to see your father, okay?"

"Let go of me."

Nan Qinghuan shoved his hand away, "Li Xiang, stay clear-headed. I said I won't go back. If you want to go back, leave; don't stop me."

"You won't leave?" "I've said many times I won't leave Ying. Li Xiang, if you want to leave that's your business; don't drag me into it. I appreciate you coming for me, but I'm sorry I don't want to go back, please."

Li Xiang gave her a deep look, then suddenly smiled. At that moment, a wild beast's roar kept coming from that side, and hearing it Li Xiang seemed to understand what animal it was.

"These ancient times truly have every kind of animal. From that sound, it must be an Emperor Crocodile; after a genetic mutation they no longer prefer fish and shrimp. Because of harsh conditions they were forced onto land and began eating people."

"Emperor Crocodile?"

Yes, they are experts in ancient creatures, so they're familiar with these prehistoric giants; an Emperor Crocodile would be a trouble.

Ying and his group can't handle it; even if Ying can tame beasts, he can't subdue this Emperor Crocodile.

No way!

"Senior brother, we need to drive away the Emperor Crocodile and save the people here."

Li Xiang sneered, "Why should we save them?"

"You said you want to leave, but if the Emperor Crocodile kills them you still can't leave. Join me in dealing with it."

Emperor Crocodiles lived in the Cretaceous era; they're very familiar with them, so from the sound they could tell what Ayina meant by 'giant dragon.'

It wasn't a Giant Dragon; it was an Emperor Crocodile.

Hearing that, Li Xiang fell silent for a moment. Yes, they study these ancient beasts, their diet, and what they fear.

So... Li Xiang, after a pause, asked, "Did you bring the Gunpowder?"

Nan Qinghuan exhaled, "I have it, senior brother. Let's work together to drive this beast out."

They were discussing how to deal with the Emperor Crocodile, and Ying led the crowd in a stubborn resistance; indeed, those Long Arrows were useless against the Emperor Crocodile.

Countless tribe members perished beneath its massive claws, blood forming a river.

"Ying, continue."

Ji Lei tossed a Long Spear to him; Ying reached out, grasped it, and stared at the huge monster before him. No tribe member dared approach, and Ashina let out a loud shout.

"Ying, be careful."

This Giant Dragon is really huge; it's the largest Giant Dragon Ying has ever seen, scarier than his Tyrannosaurus Rex. It also has a long tail; if it swings it hard, everyone will be flung away to a terrible death.

Ying tried to stab the Giant Dragon's eyes blind, his body agile, he rolled to the side of the Emperor Crocodile, and this scene was seen by the arriving Nan Qinghuan, who let out a loud shout at once.

"Ying"

Puff—, and the Rongdi was also swatted by a tail and rolled onto the ground.

"Clan Leader, are you okay?"

Li Xiang stepped forward, helped him up, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Why did you come? Hide quickly; this monster is too powerful to be a match."

The Rongdi unexpectedly protected Li Xiang, which stirred a faint feeling of gratitude in Li Xiang.

"You all step back and let me go."

"You?"

"Ying"

Nan Qinghuan was about to be frightened to faint, because she saw Ying hiding behind the Emperor Crocodile's rear—how dangerous!

At this moment her heart tangled, the Emperor Crocodile was larger than they had studied; Li Xiang was right—it was a genetic mutation.

So it grew so large and no longer liked fish and shrimp, switching to eating humans.

This is the truth of the Tribe being harassed by this Emperor Crocodile.

Ying did not appear again, which drove her almost mad; could something have happened to him? "Ying"

Suddenly, she stood up, grabbed a Bronze Drum, and began beating it "Dong—dong—dong".

The Emperor Crocodile is very sensitive to these sounds; this is a result of Nan Qinghuan and her senior brother's earlier research—such massive beasts are highly sound‑sensitive, and they become stunned as soon as they hear it.

Now is the time to strike!

Sure enough, hearing the "Dong—dong—dong" sound, all the clan members stared in amazement, "What are you doing? Ou Mu, hurry back."

Ji Lei tried to pull her away, but Nan Qinghuan refused to move, "Don't move, and you stay back too."

"Junior sister, be careful."

"Nan Qinghuan"

The Rongdi also saw that she was in great danger; does this woman want to die? Dong—dong—dong!

While the sound left the Emperor Crocodile stunned, suddenly a person emerged from beneath its feet; the person leapt up, gripped the Spear tightly, and attacked the Emperor Crocodile's eye.

In an instant, the sharp Spear blinded one of the Emperor Crocodile's eyes.

Puff…… a wail rang through the area, and then the Emperor Crocodile, in pain, tossed Ying aside, then swung its claws toward Nan Qinghuan.

When Ying rolled on the ground, he saw the Giant Dragon charging at Nan Qinghuan; he struggled to get up and shouted loudly.

"Qinghuan, run."

Nan Qinghuan remained calm, kept beating the drum, luring the beast toward her.

Run—she can't run now.

"Senior brother."

Li Xiang, seeing the chance, instantly ignited the Gunpowder and hurled it at the Emperor Crocodile's body.

Bang—bang—bang… countless Gunpowder charges ignited and exploded; the Emperor Crocodile had never endured such a fierce assault. Amid a cloud of smoke it let out a wail, its rear arched, and its whole body's skin burst open.

It fled in a sorry scramble.

"Dong—dong—dong."

The Bronze Drum's sound finally faded, and the Emperor Crocodile, tail between its legs, ran away; only after it fled did the crowd cheer.

"Great, Clan Leader, the Giant Dragon has fled, fled."

Life and death in an instant—so thrilling.

Ying strained, sprinting toward where Nan Qinghuan stood; though wounded, he cared little, his sole focus to run toward his woman… "Qinghuan"
