'Damn these ancient books!'
Jiang Jichen didn't have time to curse them any further. The most important thing now was dealing with the situation at hand.
Before the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile, he was like a newborn babe at the mercy of a tiger.
Resistance was absolutely useless.
Jiang Jichen didn't dare to move a muscle, but he bravely met the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile's gaze.
A long, silent staring contest ensued.
An hour passed, then two, then three…
Jiang Jichen's neck grew sore and his legs went numb. A pool of sweat had formed on the ground beneath him.
Yet, the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile still showed no reaction.
Its eyes were wide and enormous, but they were vacant and dull. 'It seems... it seems like it's just sleeping!'
He tried raising a hand, waving it gently in front of the giant crocodile's eyes. As he expected, the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile didn't even blink.
'Looks like it really is asleep!'
