This is a crocodile about fifteen feet long. Its olive-brown back and tail are covered with scales, and it shows sharp teeth, making it ferocious and terrifying.

"Ouch..." The huge crocodile roared and rushed towards Elsa Marin who was leading the way.

Elsa Marin, the girl with glasses, and Lilith were frightened by the sudden appearance of the giant beast. They turned around and ran back, screaming, "Ah..."

The girl with glasses was so panicked that she slipped and fell.

Elsa Marin couldn't dodge, bumped into her, and fell down.

During this gap, the huge crocodile caught up, opened its huge mouth, and bit Elsa Marin's right leg.

Even though Elsa Marin was used to seeing wild animals, she was frightened and panicked. She waved the bright flashlight in her hand as if she wanted to scare away the crocodile.

With a sharp pain in her right foot, Elsa Marin's face showed a look of despair. She knew very well how powerful the crocodile's bite was. If she could not hold on for a few seconds, her leg would be broken. If another one came,

If you roll over in death, you will be dragged into the pool, and your bones will be gone.

"Ah..." she cried out in despair.

"boom!"

A gunshot echoed in the cave.

Blood splattered everywhere.

"Ouch..."

The huge crocodile opened its mouth and let out a painful roar, and its body kept struggling and rolling.

"boom!"

Another shot.

Blood splattered again.

The crocodile's struggle also became weak, as if it had exhausted all its strength, and the crocodile's blood stained the pool red.

"Plop..." Another huge figure emerged from the water, its four short legs stirred the water, and rushed towards it.

The three women looked horrified again. Lilith and the girl with glasses dragged the injured Elsa Marin and hid behind Luke.

However, this crocodile did not attack Luke and the others. Instead, it rushed towards its companions and bit the injured crocodile's body. Then it rolled over in death, causing waves to splash in the churning pool.

"Bang bang." With two more shots, Luke hit the second crocodile.

This cold-blooded animal will even eat its own companions. Even if it does not attack the four people this time, it is still a huge threat.

Luke used a shotgun, which was very powerful, so he could kill the crocodile. If he used an ordinary pistol, it would be difficult to pose a fatal threat to the crocodile. Instead, it might anger the crocodile and make it even crazier.

Two crocodiles dyed the pool red.

Soon, a third crocodile emerged from the water pool. It also ignored the four Lukes and chose to bite the bodies of its companions.

"Bang bang." Two more shots were fired, and the third crocodile was killed directly by Luke.

After a long time, the water pool calmed down and the three women relaxed.

Lilith took out the first aid kit, squatted next to Elsa Marin, and asked concernedly, "How is your injury?"

Elsa Marin's face was pale. She didn't know whether she was frightened or had lost too much blood. Her voice was hoarse. "My legs hurt a little. They must have been injured. But luckily Luke shot in time and the crocodile didn't have time to bite hard.

The injury is not serious."

"Let me treat your injury." Lilith opened the first aid kit, took out the scissors and cut off Elsa Marin's trouser legs, revealing the snake-proof leggings inside. "This is a good habit, it will reduce your injury.

"

Even with the snake-proof leggings, Elsa Marin's leg was still injured. Although there was no laceration, red and swollen indentations could be seen.

Of course, the most important thing is for Luke to shoot in time, otherwise once the crocodile bites hard, the snake-proof leggings will not be able to prevent the huge bite force of the crocodile.

Elsa Marin showed a grateful look, "Luke, you saved my life, thank you very much.

I don't know how to express it..."

Luke said, "We are a team and you are my partner.

Rest in peace and recover."

Lilith simply treated her wound and said, "Although there is no obvious wound, the crocodile's bite is amazing. You'd better rest for a while."

Elsa Marin said, "I will rest when the treasure hunt is over, but not now. As long as you find me a cane, I can continue to explore the cave with you."

The girl with glasses frowned and said, "E on, are you kidding me?

This cave is so dangerous, and there may be crocodiles ahead, so we still need to continue exploring?"

"These three are all American crocodiles. They live in fresh water. Logically speaking, they should not appear on this island. This is very abnormal." Lilith said, stroking her smooth chin, "I guess these crocodiles are probably

They were brought by the people who buried the treasures in order to let them protect these treasures.

If my guess is correct, then the treasure is probably inside the cave."

Luke refilled the spare side magazine of the shotgun with bullets, "If you are afraid, wait here while I go explore ahead."

"No, absolutely not." Elsa Marin and the girl with glasses said in unison.

Lilith said, "If you leave and there are crocodiles in the pool again, we will have no choice but to run away."

Luke suggested, "Elsa is injured. I will send you out of the cave first, and then come in to explore the depths of the cave."

"No, my injury is not serious. You can continue to explore the cave." After Elsa Marin finished speaking, she stood up holding on to the rock wall and tried to take a few steps forward. "It's not a big problem."

Lilith advised, "Don't hold on, it will aggravate the injury."

Elsa Marin said indifferently, "I have been crawling around in the wild since I was a child. I will continue to run and play after falling from a tree. This kind of injury is nothing to me."

Since Elsa Marin said so, Luke and Lilith stopped trying to persuade them. The four of them took a short rest and continued to explore the depths of the cave.

After walking forward for a few minutes, there is a fork ahead. The left fork is connected to the water pool, while the right fork is isolated from the water pool.

The girl with glasses took a strong flashlight and looked at the fork on the right, "Let's go this way. We shouldn't encounter crocodiles."

Although Luke has the ability to kill the crocodile, the width of the pool is uncertain. If the crocodile suddenly pounces, bites, and drags people into the pool, it is still very dangerous.

The four of them discussed it and finally decided to take the fork on the right.

After walking for about a few minutes, another puddle appeared in front of them, and the road became narrower and narrower. Everyone became vigilant again, shining bright flashlights at the puddle from time to time.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way.

After walking forward for about ten minutes, the terrain became lower and the road ahead was blocked by a pool of water, so we had to wade through the water to continue moving forward.

Looking at the deep and shallow water pool, the four of them started to have fun again.

Lilith looked at Luke habitually, "What do you think?"

Luke's eyes swept across the three women and landed on Elsa Marin. She was closest to the crocodile just now. The shotgun hit the crocodile and blood spattered. She also had the most blood on her body.

Luke knelt down, used a dagger to cut a bloody strip of cloth from her pants, and threw it into the puddle.

Not long after, the pool started churning, and several palm-sized fish swam towards the cloth strips. They opened their mouths to reveal their sharp teeth and bit into the cloth strips. In the blink of an eye, the cloth strips were eaten.

Everyone was frightened by the scene just now.

Elsa Marin even exclaimed, "Piranha!

Fortunately, we didn't go into the water. Otherwise, if we were stained with crocodile blood, we would definitely be bitten by piranhas, and our bones would be broken, let alone meat.

These things are more ferocious and bloodthirsty than crocodiles."

You must not go down into the pool. Although the piranhas are small, they come in groups and you can't kill them all even if you want.

The four of them had no choice but to turn around, return to the fork in the road, and walk along the waterhole where the crocodiles lived again.

"Bang bang!"

With two shots, Luke killed another crocodile that wanted to attack someone.

The journey continued smoothly, and no crocodile appeared in the pool again.

The four of them turned into a vast cave. The terrain here was higher and the water surface receded a lot, revealing a platform the size of a basketball court.

There is also a crack one foot wide and dozens of feet long at the top of the cave, which is connected to the outside world.

On the far right side of the cave, there are some palm-sized pebbles piled up, blocking a fork.

Luke walked to the fork to check. It was obvious that the cobblestones were piled artificially.

At Luke's suggestion, everyone removed the cobblestones and moved very carefully, fearing that some dangerous animals might emerge from inside.

After a few minutes, everyone removed the cobblestones, revealing a four-foot-high and two-foot-wide hole. A strong flashlight shone into the hole, which revealed that it was somewhat empty. The area inside the hole was larger than imagined.

Luke held the gun in both hands and was the first to enter the cave entrance. He glanced around with his headlight and was immediately shocked by the sight in front of him.

The hole was like a curved crescent, with twelve boxes stacked inside. Each box was two feet long, one foot wide, and one foot high.

The box was made of wood, waterproofed, and had a lock on it. Luke tried to move it. The box was not big, but it was very heavy.

The other three people also entered the cave entrance one after another.

The girl with glasses asked in surprise, "Are these the boxes for treasures?"

Elsa Marin also looked excited, limping to the box and checking, "There is an unlocked box here."
