Chapter 97: Locked Up in the Crocodile Pool

Leng Rongrong went to the beast garden alone.

Just from the name, one could tell that this place was where many very strong ferocious beasts were raised.

Leng Rongrong was walking alone on a small path, surrounded by tall trees that blocked out the sun. Only a small amount of sunlight shone down.

There didn’t seem to be anyone in the beast garden.

Leng Rongrong walked alone. There weren’t any signs around, so she walked around randomly. Soon, she saw a white tiger enclosure. It was spacious inside, and a few white tigers were lying freely on the ground, basking in the sun.

Leng Rongrong greeted the white tigers as she approached.

The white tigers all looked at Leng Rongrong. One of the white tigers roared at her a few times, which was considered a communication.

Leng Rongrong nodded. “It seems like you’re living a comfortable life here. Is Lord Four truly that handsome?”

“Roar!”

The white tiger roared again, and the tiger nodded its head deftly.

…

“Even you guys say that Lord Four is handsome. Is that true?” Leng Rongrong looked at the white tiger suspiciously. Were the words of animals credible? Humans and animals should have different aesthetic values, right?

Tigers seemed to prefer stronger ones…

The tiger said it liked Lord Four…

The image of a fat and strong Lord Four flashed through Leng Rongrong’s mind. She felt her hair stand on end and goosebumps rose. He couldn’t be like that, could he?

Shaking off the goosebumps all over her body, Leng Rongrong continued to walk forward.

As she was walking, she suddenly heard someone in front of her cry out in alarm. “Help! A child fell into the water! Come and help!”

A child fell into the water?

When Leng Rongrong heard the shout, she ran towards the front without saying a word.

Then, she saw something floating in a huge and deep pool. It looked like the skirt of a child!

Did a child fall into the water?

Leng Rongrong rushed down the steps without a second thought. The steps were very high, almost ten meters high. She had rushed down without thinking.

Then, she suddenly heard a ringing sound behind her.

By the time Leng Rongrong reacted and turned around, she realized that the huge iron door behind her had been closed.

Leng Rongrong was aghast.

The situation didn’t seem right.

When she looked at the pool again, there didn’t seem to be a child. There was only a piece of skirt and nothing else.

Moreover, although she heard someone shouting that a child had fallen into the water, she didn’t see who it was. When she ran over, there was no one there. Not only was there no one, but there was also no sound of a baby crying.

If a child truly fell into the water, there would always be a cry or two.

The place was eerily quiet. She couldn’t find another person besides her.

Connecting the dots to the closed metal door, Leng Rongrong instantly realized that someone was making fun of her, so she had been locked up in this place.

Leng Rongrong was at a loss for words.

She walked up the steps and tried to open the metal door, but it didn’t budge at all.

The pool’s surroundings were slippery, so she couldn’t climb up from there.

The iron door was so high that it didn’t seem easy to climb. Her nails probably wouldn’t be able to dig into the iron door. Otherwise, she could have pulled herself out.

“This is a crocodile pool. It is very dangerous inside!”

Just as Leng Rongrong was thinking about how to get out, a gentle female voice was suddenly heard.

Leng Rongrong looked up and saw a girl looking at her from the high platform.

She looked like an ordinary girl, but her eyes were very bright. Leng Rongrong was stunned when she saw the girl.

She remembered this girl.

She was the girl who had competed with her on the racecourse and had disappeared after the race.

“You have to come out quickly. If you don’t, you’ll be in danger. This is Lord Four’s crocodile pool. These crocodiles are very wild and aggressive. A single crocodile is not scary, but a large group of red-eyed crocodiles is!”

The girl frowned and said, “Be careful, your back!”

Following the girl’s shout, Leng Rongrong suddenly dodged to the side.

A crocodile with its mouth wide open missed Leng Rongrong. It shook its head in frustration and continued to attack Leng Rongrong.

“You’re looking for death.” Leng Rongrong frowned and kicked the crocodile back into the pool.

When she turned around, she saw that countless crocodiles had emerged from the pool.

Some of the crocodiles had only one back on the water surface, while others peeked at her from above. There were about a hundred of them.

Leng Rongrong was speechless.

If it was one or two crocodiles, or ten or so, she could still negotiate and control them.

However, there were so many crocodiles, and the number was too many. It would be difficult to negotiate, and it would be even more difficult to control them if their eyes were red with hunger.

Someone was trying to kill her!

“You, you hold on for a while. I’ll find a rope to pull you up!” The girl shouted in panic.

Leng Rongrong did not say anything but turned to look at the crocodile pool. She moved her hands and feet, ready for a fierce battle.

At this moment, a group of people appeared on the grandstand above.

Everyone was chatting noisily, and then, they saw Leng Rongrong and the group of crocodiles.

“Come and take a look. Isn’t this Miss Leng who won a lot of money? Is she going to fight the crocodiles?”

“My god, who would dare to challenge the crocodile pool? Other than Lord Four, no one would dare to challenge them, right?”

“She’s just looking for death. Does she seriously think she’s all capable just because she won a few matches?”

“She’s trying to attract Lord Four’s attention, right? I’m afraid that she will fail. Instead, she might even lose her life!”

“Let’s watch the fun. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the crocodiles in the crocodile pool eat people!”

*****

There were more and more people on the platform, and in an instant, the entire crocodile pool was surrounded by people.

Leng Rongrong and a group of crocodiles were like animals in a zoo, surrounded by onlookers. Leng Rongrong was more like a sideshow, but to the people above, Leng Rongrong was just courting death.

Everyone could already see how Leng Rongrong’s face would be torn to pieces.

Although the scene might be bloody, everyone was very interested.

Leng Rongrong remained silent.

She sighed and looked at the group of crocodiles. She lowered her head and said in a low voice, “We’re being treated as the main attraction. How about we make a deal? Don’t treat me as food, okay?”

The crocodiles didn’t seem to have any intention of negotiating.

All of them were so hungry that their eyes were red. They just wanted to eat Leng Rongrong up directly to fill their stomachs.

Leng Rongrong was tragically helpless.

It truly gave her a headache.

Crocodiles weren’t adorable at all, and she didn’t like to fight with animals that weren’t nice to look at.
