Chapter 1821

The huge corpse of the golden crocodile lay in the mud. After looking at it for a while, Gu Chen put the beheading knife on his shoulder and walked towards the three people who had just escaped death.

"There are more survivors than expected. This is going to be a bit troublesome." He smiled and looked harmless, but the words he said made the three of them, who had just relaxed, tense up again.

Gu Chen had said before that he was going to kill everyone and take all the credit for himself. Was he serious?!

The three people knew very well that after the battle with the golden crocodile, they had no power to fight back. If he really wanted to do something, they couldn't stop him at all!

"Fellow Daoist Chen, stop joking. The mission is over. You're the main contributor. There's no need to kill us!" Peach Blossom hurriedly put on an ingratiating smile, but his heart was beating fast.

"Main contributor? Are you sure? "Gu Chen asked with a smile.

"Of course. The golden crocodile died in your hands. You saved our lives. You're the main contributor!" Peach Blossom nodded vigorously, afraid that Gu Chen would really have some ideas that he shouldn't have.

"Fellow Daoist Peach Blossom, you're right. But what do you say about the two guys who died?" Gu Chen kept smiling as he glanced at the bodies of the craftsman and the Whisperer not far away.

These two people were not supposed to die, but he had forced them to stay, which was why they were so unlucky. Even the craftsman was directly killed by Gu Chen.

Master Peach Blossom was filled with righteous indignation when he heard that. He gritted his teeth and said, "The two of them deserted and almost caused the mission to fail. They caused the three of us to lose our lives. They deserved to die! Fellow Daoist Chen, don't worry. They broke the rules. If you kill them, not only will you not be at fault, but you'll also be meritorious! "

His words were easy to hear, and Peach Blossom's desire to live was strong. But when Gu Chen heard that, his face suddenly turned cold.

"Fellow Daoist Peach Blossom, what do you mean? The two of them died from the golden crocodile's dying counterattack. What does that have to do with me? Are you saying this to make life difficult for the two adopted daughters of the Pavilion Master, so that I won't have a good time in Honesty Pavilion? "

At the end of his words, there was a hint of murderous intent, and Peach Blossom immediately changed his words. "It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue! They died from the attack of the golden crocodile. It has nothing to do with you! "

Only then did Gu Chen's expression soften. He looked at Tu Xiong and Lady Storm, smiling again. "Fellow Daoist Peach Blossom, is this what you saw and heard alone, or is it a consensus among the three of you?"

"Of course it is consensus among the three of us! The two of you, am I right? "Master Peach Blossom immediately looked at the two of them. His eyes were cold and his tone was firm.

Tu Xiong and Lady Storm were speechless. Of course, they understood what the other party meant.

If they dared to oppose the consensus between the duo, Householder Peach Blossom wouldn't even need Gu Chen to make a move. Householder Peach Blossom would slaughter them first. In order to survive, this fellow didn't care about the reputation and dignity of a Kingdom War killer.

The mission had been completed, but how were they going to explain the process of the mission and how were they going to explain the death of the two elite assassins?

Chen Yi looked young, but he was actually very shrewd. His words just now had already hinted at what they should say and do.

He had to be the one who killed the golden crocodile, and the death of the craftsman and the Whisperer had nothing to do with him. He would take all the benefits, and if one of them objected, he would kill them all!

It was a blatant threat, but they didn't have the temper to say no!

"If not for Fellow Daoist Chen, we would have been killed by the two cowards, the craftsman and the Whisperer, not to mention completing the mission. Fellow Daoist Chen, the credit is undeniable. I hope you can forgive us if we offended you earlier. "

Storm propped up her weak body and solemnly bowed to Gu Chen, her face full of gratitude.

What she was doing now was to protect herself, but she was actually convinced.

The speed that was faster than her destroyed all of her arrogance. She realized how ridiculous everyone's shortsightedness was.

No matter where it was, the strong deserved respect. She was willing to obey the rules.

Now that Lady Storm had made her stand, Tu Xiong was the only one left. He was silent, feeling a little unwilling.

In his opinion, although Gu Chen's attack just now was amazing, he had more or less picked up the slack.

They had risked their lives to kill the golden crocodile, but in the end, the credit was easily taken by this guy. How could he accept this?

He had been very disdainful of Chen Yi before, and prejudice was not so easy to overcome.

But even if he objected, what was the point?

Even if he didn't kill him, Master Peach Blossom was in charge of scoring their mission. As long as he believed that Chen Yi had the highest score, he had no room to argue!

He had lost, because he had underestimated his opponent and was careless. He could only admit defeat!

"Chen Yi, I was as blind as a bat. I underestimated you! This time, you have the final say. Give me back my beheading knife! "Tu Xiong's face was red. It wasn't easy for him to say such soft words.

"I still need this knife. I'll give it back to you later. You're badly injured, so hurry up and treat your wounds. This place isn't safe. "

Satisfied with the answer, Gu Chen turned around with a smile.

If he really killed all of them and returned alone, he would be questioned by the people in Honesty Pavilion.

If he wanted to climb up in Honesty Pavilion, he needed Master Peach Blossom's endorsement, so he couldn't kill him.

And killing the other two in front of Master Peach Blossom was also against the rules, which was different from killing the craftsman.

Honesty Pavilion had its own rules. If he wanted Ye Wunian to trust him, he couldn't be reckless.

Seeing that Gu Chen had finally given up on some dangerous ideas, Master Peach Blossom and the other two heaved a sigh of relief.

They quickly took out healing elixirs and swallowed them, seizing the time to treat their wounds.

Danger lurked everywhere in the Great Ancient Swamp, and they couldn't be sure that there were no other dangers here. The sooner they recovered their strength, the better.

As the three of them sat cross-legged to heal their wounds, Gu Chen picked up some dry branches from the ground and started a bonfire.

He used his beheading knife to cut the golden crocodile's carcass into pieces. Then, he stuck the meat on the knife and started barbecuing it over the fire.

This golden crocodile's cultivation was extraordinary, and its bloodline was even more extraordinary. It was a natural tonic that could strengthen one's life essence after eating it.

Gu Chen roasted the meat with ease. His gaze occasionally swept across the forest as he waited.

The golden crocodile was already dead, and the Hidden Dragon Clan had achieved their goal. What would they do next?

If the Hidden Dragon Clan and Honesty Pavilion didn't have the relationship that Ye Futian had imagined, then after using Honesty Pavilion to kill the golden crocodile, they would probably kill it to silence it.
