This was a crocodile about fifteen feet long, with an olive-brown back and tail covered in scales, revealing sharp teeth, looking ferocious and terrifying.

"Roar..." The gigantic crocodile roared and lunged at the guide, Elsa Marin.

Elsa Marin, the girl with glasses, and Lilith were all frightened by the suddenly emerging giant beast, and turned around to run back, screaming, "Ah..."

The girl with glasses panicked excessively, slipped, and fell.

Elsa Marin couldn't dodge in time and crashed into her, also falling down.

In this gap, the gigantic crocodile caught up, opened its massive mouth, and bit Elsa Marin's right leg.

Even though Elsa Marin was used to seeing wild animals, she was terrified and flailed the strong flashlight in her hand, seemingly trying to scare the crocodile away.

As a severe pain came from her right foot, a look of despair appeared on Elsa Marin's face. She knew very well how powerful the crocodile's bite was, and if she couldn't hold on for a few seconds, her leg would be broken. If there was another death roll, she would be dragged into the pool, never to be seen again.

"Ah..." She let out a cry of despair.

"Bang!"

A gunshot echoed in the cave.

Blood splattered everywhere.

"Roar roar..."

The gigantic crocodile opened its mouth, letting out a painful growl, its body struggling and rolling.

"Bang!"

Another shot.

Blood splattered again.

The crocodile's struggles weakened, as if it had exhausted its strength, and the pool was stained with crocodile blood.

"Splash..." Another gigantic figure emerged from the water, stirring the surface with its four short legs, rushing forward.

The three women showed fear again, with Lilith and the girl with glasses dragging the injured Elsa Marin behind Luke.

However, this crocodile did not attack Luke and the others, instead rushing toward its companion, biting the injured crocodile's body, then a death roll followed, causing splashes to soar.

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

These cold-blooded animals even eat their companions. Even if it didn't attack the four of them this time, it was still a huge threat.

Luke was using a shotgun, with great power, allowing him to kill the crocodile. If he used a regular handgun, it would be hard to pose a fatal threat to the crocodile and might infuriate it, making it more furious instead.

The two crocodiles stained the pool red.

Soon, a third crocodile emerged from the pool and, like the others, ignored Luke and the others, choosing to tear at its companion's corpse.

"Bang bang." Another two shots, and the third crocodile was directly taken down by Luke.

After a long while, the pool calmed down, and the three women finally relaxed.

Lilith took out a first aid kit, crouched by Elsa Marin's side, and asked with concern, "How are your injuries?"

Elsa Marin looked pale, unsure whether it was from fright or blood loss, with a hoarse voice, "My leg hurts a bit, it must be injured, but luckily Luke fired in time, the crocodile didn't have a chance to bite down hard, so the injury isn't too severe."

"Let me treat your wound." Lilith opened the first aid kit, took out scissors, and cut open Elsa Marin's pant leg, revealing the snake-proof leggings inside, "That was a good habit, it reduced your injuries."

Even with the snake-proof leggings, Elsa Marin's leg was still injured. Although there were no tears, there were noticeable swollen impressions.

Of course, the main reason was Luke fired in time, otherwise, if the crocodile had bitten down with force, the snake-proof leggings wouldn't be able to withstand the enormous bite force.

Elsa Marin showed a grateful expression, "Luke, you saved my life, thank you so much.

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

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

Rest assured and focus on recovering."

Lilith tended to her wound simply and said, "Although there is no obvious wound, the crocodile's bite force is tremendous. It's best you rest for a while."

Elsa Marin said, "I will rest after we're done treasure hunting, but not now. Just find me a crutch, and I can continue exploring the cave with you."

The girl with glasses frowned, "Come on, you're not kidding, are you?

This cave is so dangerous, there might be more crocodiles ahead, and we need to keep exploring?"

"These three belong to the American crocodile species, living in freshwaters, and logically, they shouldn't appear on this island, it's very unusual." Lilith stroked her smooth chin and said, "I suspect these crocodiles were brought here by those who buried the treasure, intending for them to guard the treasure.

If my guess is correct, then the treasure is likely in the cave."

Luke refilled the side magazine of his shotgun with ammo, "If you're scared, you can wait here, and I'll go ahead and explore."

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

Lilith said, "If you leave, and another crocodile appears in the pool, we'll only be able to run away."

Luke proposed, "Elsa is injured, I'll escort you out of the cave first, then I'll explore deeper into the cave."

"No need, my injury isn't that severe, I can continue exploring the cave." Elsa Marin finished, propping herself up against the rock wall, standing up, and trying to walk a few steps forward, "No big deal."

Lilith advised, "Don't push yourself, it could make the injury worse."
