From Skeleton Soldiers to King of the Undead

Chapter 31 The Crocodile and the Pig Orc
There are five people in this team of mercenaries that Blacksmith Black belongs to.

In addition to him, a newbie, and the leader of the pig orcs, there were three other male senior human mercenaries.

The pigman Pig is the forward, the other three are responsible for the spearman, spearman and mage respectively. The blacksmith Black... is just a baggage bearer.

The goal of their trip was to hunt down the underwater overlord in a certain section of the river - the swamp crocodile.

"This is it, we've arrived." The five people stopped in front of a river.

Pige turned to the blacksmith and said, "Let me tell you in advance that the crocodiles here are more than five meters long and can bite a person's waist in one bite.

"If you are accidentally bitten by them, you will basically be hopeless. Even if you don't die, you will be disabled."

The blacksmith showed a scared expression, and said with an apologetic smile: "I know, Boss Pig, I'll stand back and stay away for a while..."

"No, you go and lure the crocodile out."

However, the pig-orc said something that made the blacksmith's face change.

He randomly picked up a longer branch from the ground and handed it to the blacksmith's hand. "You stand by the river and slap the river with this branch. The crocodile will sense the movement and attack you..."

"No no no no!"

The blacksmith's eyes widened and he waved his hands repeatedly in fear, "Boss Pig, I, my legs have become weak from fear. I won't be able to escape when the crocodile comes..."

"Don't be afraid, Blake, we will save you before the crocodile bites your butt." A tall and thin red-haired spearman said with a smile and patted the blacksmith's butt.

"Black, this is mainly to exercise your courage, go ahead." The pigman forced the branch into the blacksmith's arms and pushed him hard.

"Each crocodile will give you a tenth of the money, just think of them as a pile of copper coins!" Another bald spearman shouted from behind the blacksmith.

"A pile of copper coins, copper coins, copper coins, money..."

The blacksmith murmured as he tremblingly walked to the river and began to pat the water gently.

Of course, the others did not intend to let the blacksmith die. Two spearmen came behind him, holding spears on guard.

The spears in their hands are made of beef tendon wood core, covered with a layer of bamboo slices, and then wrapped with copper bars, which is extremely tough.The tip of the spear is a slender and sharp iron awl, which can easily penetrate the crocodile's skin with strong arm strength.

Pigman Pige also silently took off the only piece of equipment on his body.
A black broadsword nearly two meters long was made of an unknown metal. The blade was not smooth, but covered with serrations, making it look extremely ferocious.

The mage stood close to him, holding the wooden staff in his hand tightly, and had prepared a control spell.

While these mercenaries were waiting, they did not notice that on the hillside in the distance,

A tall and slender skeleton moose stood on a high branch, with blue flames in its eyes, staring at them quietly...

"coming!"

Ten minutes later, a gray crocodile with a body as thick as a water tank jumped out of the river, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and rushed to the shore.

"Oh my God!" the blacksmith screamed, dropping the branch and running away without hesitation.

"Do it!" The red-haired and bald-headed men shouted fiercely and thrust out the spears in their hands.

One spear was stabbed deeply into the crocodile's eye accurately, and the other was stabbed into the heart from the side, and blood immediately poured out.

The crocodile was fatally injured, its body twisted wildly, and began to roll on the spot.

After a few rolls, it died completely.

The tips of the two mercenaries' spears are coated with poison to kill monsters faster.

The blacksmith who fled to the pig man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

The red-haired mercenary even turned around and waved at him and smiled, showing his white teeth: "Black, you see this kind of thing is very simple!" The process after that seemed to be very simple as he said.

The red-haired man and the bald man cut the crocodile into pieces with short knives and threw the bloody corpses into the river, which soon attracted more crocodiles.

The second crocodile, the third crocodile, the fourth crocodile...at most, four crocodiles pounced on them at once.

But no matter how ferocious these monsters looked, they were all stabbed to death by two spears with the tacit cooperation of the two of them.

Blacksmith Black was shocked when he saw this slaughtering method that was more enjoyable than killing a pig - Is the swamp crocodile so weak?
In fact, it's not that this monster is too weak, but that the two spearmen are too strong. Their coordination is extremely skilled, and their movements are precise and deadly.

In less than an hour, more than a dozen crocodiles were killed by the two of them.

As for the mage and the pigman Pidge, they were holding their arms leisurely in the back, and it seemed that it was not their turn to take action.

"A lot, a lot of money..."

When the blacksmith thought that he could get [-]% of the reward, he was so happy that he felt dizzy.

Just then, the situation changed.

"Crash! Crash!"

Huge waves surged up in the river, as if there was a huge thing rolling underneath, far more powerful than the swamp crocodiles just now.

"Here comes the big guys!"

The red-haired man and the bald man held the spears in their hands tightly, staring at the huge waves coming over, with a hint of excitement on their faces.

The price of such a huge individual was far higher than that of ordinary crocodiles, making them eager to give it a try.

The next moment, a huge black crocodile jumped out of the waves.

The giant crocodile is more than 15 meters long, and its mouth is big enough to swallow an adult in one bite. It is like a giant beast that came out of prehistoric times!

A rare giant individual among the mire crocodiles, it can be called the mire giant crocodile!

Ten times more dangerous than ordinary crocodiles!
"God!"

This time it was not the blacksmith who screamed, but two mercenaries with red hair and bald hair.

Seeing the giant crocodile's true form, which was far larger than they imagined, their faces instantly became very frightened.

"Help!" They dropped their spears and ran away, crying for help anxiously.

"Mother Goddess of the Earth!" The mage looked serious and suddenly waved the wooden staff in his hand, activating the spell he had prepared long ago.

The ground surged violently like ocean waves, with a black wall more than one meter thick on one side, more than three meters high, and more than ten meters long rising from the ground to block the giant crocodile, giving the two spearmen time to escape.

"boom!"

The thick wall made of mud and rocks was knocked open by the giant crocodile. It opened its big mouth and continued to charge towards everyone.

"Damn it!" The mage cursed and turned around and ran away.

As for the blacksmith Blake, he had already twisted his fat butt and sprinted 200 meters backward!

Among the people present, the only one who remained standing and did not run away in panic was the pig-orc Pidge.

Facing the oncoming black giant crocodile, he looked calm and slowly pulled out the big knife from behind.
