I Became An Acre Of Haunted Land - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 What the Hell Are These?

Swinging the hoe at night, sweating like…

Oh, he wasn’t sweating.

Two days had passed since the battle between the crocodile and Jiang Xiaocheng.

In the past two days, Xiang Ye had been exhausted. He had been cleaning up the willow forest that had been turned upside down by that huge battle.

He needed to clean up a large number of willow trees that had been cut off at the waist.

As for whether they could still be saved, he thought for a while and felt that it was unlikely.

They were broken into a few pieces and had not turned into spirits, so there should be no hope.

Therefore, he only checked symbolically and did not use his main body’s perception.

However, although these willow trees could not be saved, they could still exert a little heat.

After the battle between Jiang Xiaocheng and the crocodile, Xiang Ye realized that there was basically no protection around the willow tree. If the crocodile ran over again, it would definitely be as easy as walking into an uninhabited place.

Previously, there were other willow trees blocking the way, but the giant crocodile had directly cleaned up a path. Therefore, he decided to move these fallen willow trees directly to the little willow tree as an additional layer of protection.

At least there was psychological comfort, Xiang Ye thought.

As for the crocodile, it raised its head and looked at the end of its line of sight toward the river where Xi Hongshi had fetched water.

In the end, after the crocodile discovered the river, it jumped in and hid inside.

Before Jiang Xiaocheng could follow the crocodile to the river, it fell inside.

The reason why she didn’t chase after it was simple. The river was her limit.

It was not only the limit of Jiang Xiaocheng’s range of activity, but also the limit of Xiang Ye’s activities.

It was also at that moment that Xiang Ye realized that his range had expanded countless times.

Before, he would have felt happy to see his range expand, but now, he didn’t feel that way.

His mind was filled with worry.

The crocodile was still alive and well.

With its size, if it entered the river, it would definitely be the overlord of that water. It would have no opponent.

Xiang Ye originally thought that after suffering such a huge loss, the crocodile would directly follow the river downstream or reverse the current and leave.

However, he did not expect it to stop after running into the river.

It had been lurking in the sand at the bottom of the river, staring at the willow tree with its vertical pupils.

Moreover, it had been looking for an opportunity for the past two days.

It would sneak out of the river in the night and approach the willow forest quietly and furtively like a seasoned fox.

If not for the fact that Xiang Ye did not need to rest at all, it might really have succeeded.

He did not know why the crocodile had a crush on this willow tree. After being chased away by Jiang Xiaocheng for two nights, it still continued to persevere without giving up.

On the other hand, Jiang Xiaocheng had been especially active these two days. Every time she sensed that the crocodile had come ashore, she would run over excitedly and fight it again.

Because of this, she rarely fought with Xiang Ye for control of her body these two days.

This was considered good news for Xiang Ye.

“No, I can’t rely on Jiang Xiaocheng to chase the crocodile away every time.”

After piling a broken piece of wood that was as tall as Jiang Xiaocheng beside the willow tree, Xiang Ye made up his mind.

Although Jiang Xiaocheng could suppress the crocodile every time, it was more like she treated the crocodile as a big moving meat bun. Every time the crocodile came ashore, she would rush forward to hug it and gnaw on

it.

Although the crocodile would continue to escape back into the river in pain, it would find an opportunity to run back after its body recovered.

Xiang Ye thought that Jiang Xiaocheng had not bothered to chase the crocodile away at all. Otherwise, with her strength, she should have chased the crocodile away long ago.

However, the problem was that he could not communicate with Jiang Xiaocheng. Previously, her mind was filled with violent resentment, but now, she had become a glutton.

With her small figure, how long would it take for her to eat the big crocodiles?

Every creature standing at the top of the food chain had top-notch recovery ability.

The crocodile would probably recover after eating Jiang Xiaocheng’s toes.

However, without relying on Jiang Xiaocheng, Xiang Ye would not be able to defeat the crocodile.

The scene of being swallowed into its stomach was still vivid in his mind. If he did not let Jiang Xiaocheng out, Xiang Ye suspected that he would be completely digested by the crocodile and turn into a pile of feces.

If that was the case, his eldest daughter would be gone. Xiang Ye could not accept this outcome.

“I should learn some superpowers, spells, and so on. The next time the crocodile runs over, I’ll smash its fish head.”

Xiang Ye thought silently.

He recalled the fire and water powers that Xi Hongshi had caused by controlling the Tang brothers. Although it looked fancy, it did not have much effect on him.

However, Xi Hongshi was only at the Proficient Level, so it was difficult for him to unleash its true power.

If he were to learn it…

“I’m a piece of land. I definitely have the fortune to seize the world…”

“Wait, I’m the earth. What snatch the good fortune of heaven and earth!”

“It should be the creation of all things…”

“That’s not right either. Nothing is stronger than me. Why snatch them?”

“Forget it!”

“In short, I’m the strongest in the world.”

“With my talent, it’ll be easy for me to learn anything.”

Xiang Ye thought happily.

He had the confidence as he was a piece of land.

What was the nickname of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan in Journey to the West?

Heaven and earth lived as long as the world!

It meant that he was as awesome as the world.

However, no matter how awesome he was, he was still under the limelight of heaven and earth.

If they really had to compare, how could he compare to heaven or to earth?

Xiang Ye was different. He was the earth, a real piece of land.

“That’s right. I’m going to find special abilities or cultivation techniques to cultivate. Wouldn’t it be amazing if I’m invincible?”

Thinking of this, Xiang Ye swept away the worries in his mind and his mood began to surge.

He was already fantasizing about his future bravery…

After thinking for a while, Xiang Ye excitedly took out his phone and began to search on it.

It was already the era of the Internet, there would definitely be some divine power secret manuals on the Internet. He would choose a few with impressive names and control Jiang Xiaocheng to cultivate.

When he mastered the divine technique, he would directly hammer the crocodile and stew it in crocodile soup.

“Let me see what good secret manuals there are to learn now.”

“Sigh, no, I should search for keywords!”

“What should I search for?”

“Eighty-ninth Xuan Gong?” “The Three Pure Ones?” “Universe Creator?”

“Huh? There’s nothing?”

“Something similar is fine too!”

“No!! This search method is wrong!”

“It should be…”

“No? No?”

“Oh, let’s try the incantation that Xi Hongshi said?”

“What was he saying?”

“There’s fire and flames? Moon shining on the water?”

“No?”

“Dharma Power of Heaven and Earth, Kan Li Technique?”
