Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

The giant crocodile roared and fled into the distance.

"You thief, don't even think about running away! Your grandpa's right here!"

In terms of sheer strength in a head-on confrontation, Stone is no match for him.

When it comes to being persistent, stones are absolutely top-notch.

When it comes to being persistent and spewing nonsense, no one dares to claim to be second to none, not even a rock on the ocean.

The crocodile had regained its senses; it was being suppressed and beaten while also having to endure trash talk. The physical harm was minor, but the insults were extremely strong.

After a while, he got so angry that he couldn't beat them, so he had no choice but to run away.

Roar! ! !

The giant beast darted away into the distance at an incredible speed.

Just as Su Zhe was about to intercept him, he suddenly heard Shi Tou shout.

"Boss! Quick, save that ship!"

Su Zhe was taken aback when he heard Shi Tou's shout.

He knew the stone's nature; although it was intelligent, it wasn't the type to be overly compassionate, after all, as a sea creature, it wasn't the same kind of creature as humans.

He does not actively hunt or kill humans, but he will not help humans who are suffering without a reason.

In his words, I, Stone, am just a weak and pitiful little sea turtle; how could I care about the suffering of the common people?

That's why Su Zhe found it strange.

"Boss! I know that guy! I know him!"

Stone continued shouting.

He is my friend!

As he spoke, he spun around like a tortoise shell, smashing into the giant crocodile and sending it flying. It stretched its neck and roared as it lay beneath the boat.

The sound was strange; Su Zhe could understand it, but the people on the boat couldn't.

The stone was indeed a sea beast, with its shell alone measuring three meters long, making it an undoubtedly terrifying ferocious beast to a mortal.

So when he shouted that, the people on the boat were immediately terrified.

Sun Shi was even more so. He had been secretly looking out of the ship, but when he saw the giant crocodile roaring, the sea turtle rushing over, and especially Su Zhe's enormous, whale-like body in the distance, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground on the deck.

"Hurry! Let's go!"

He shouted frantically.

Roar!

The giant crocodile roared, its eyes turning blood red and ferocious.

The demonic power within him erupted, instantly making him even more ferocious.

It looked at the cargo ship, attracted by the humans on board, and suddenly shot out like a cannonball, swinging its huge tail and slamming down!

"Get out of here, you bastard!"

The stone flew out with a bang and hit the giant crocodile.

This attack, though not particularly powerful, disrupted the crocodile's offensive rhythm.

The crocodile roared again, but no matter how it bit or clawed, the turtle shell showed no sign of cracking, like the hardest rock.

I tried biting and scratching again, but there was still no reaction.

The stone's shell was incredibly hard!

But when he abandoned the stone to chase the cargo ship, the giant sea turtle clung to him again.

"Come on! You big idiot! (A quote from Su Zheyou)"

Enraged, the crocodile abandoned its cargo ship and engaged the crocodile in a fierce battle.

The battle between the crocodile and the turtle raged to the ends of the earth, almost obliterating all justice.

Su Zhe seized the opportunity and slapped his tail fin hard.

boom!!!

A towering column of water exploded.

This blow sent both the rock and the giant crocodile submerged underwater.

The stone was fine, but the giant crocodile was in trouble.

It was already injured, and after being hit head-on like that, it was unable to react for a long time.

That's tactics.

The stone entangles the enemy, Su Zhe attacks, and he doesn't even have to worry about hurting the stone—it's perfect.

Of course, this was just a tactic by Su Zhe and had nothing to do with Shi Tou's own wishes.

Normally, this little sea turtle would definitely complain a few times, "Be gentle!"

However, he suddenly changed his tune, yelling, "Boss! Keep going! Keep smashing!"

People who don't know him might think he has masochistic tendencies, a total masochist.

Chapter 40 Annihilation, Stone's Friend >>

Without him saying anything, Su Zhe immediately rushed forward.

His strength was already greater than that of the giant crocodile, and with the help of the stone, he had already gained an absolute advantage.

The giant crocodile tried to escape when it saw that things were going wrong, but this time it got entangled in the rocks. In order to protect the cargo ship, it refused to give up.

Caught between two attacks, the giant crocodile finally let out a cry of relief and was freed.

"Phew~ Finally dead."

Su Zhe, dragging his injured body, let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"Boss, I'll go up and check it out!"

The stone thrashed about a few times before quickly breaking out of the sea.

When Su Zhe arrived, he was craning his neck to look into the distance.

That cargo ship has already traveled a long distance.

"Didn't you say you didn't know any humans? How come there are people you know on that ship?"

“Boss, it’s that human child I told you about,” Stone explained. “But he suddenly disappeared, and not long after, maybe thirty or forty years, he hasn’t appeared since.”

"Haven't seen him for thirty or forty years? How did you recognize him?"

"It's only been a short time, of course I can recognize his presence!"

Stone said in a cheerful tone.

"Boss, let me tell you, when I met him, I was injured on the beach. Thanks to him, he found a lot of fish for me to eat so I could survive. Later, we became friends."

“He was about eleven or twelve years old at that time. We played together on the beach and even collected seashells to make a seashell necklace. But he doesn’t seem to be wearing it today. He probably forgot to bring it.”

“His family runs a seafood business, and the fish he gave me was stolen from his home! Then one time his father found out and chased after him, beating him. He then sat alone on the beach and cried.”

“He got angry... I didn’t know at the time. I couldn’t speak back then, but after my injury healed, I went to the sea and caught a lot of fish to give to him.”

Su Zhe suddenly realized, and was somewhat amazed at how magical fate could be.

After decades apart, to meet again in the vast ocean is more dramatic than any romance drama.

"And then what? Why did he leave again?"

"Well... I delivered fish to him a few times, and then he suddenly stopped coming. After a few days, his family came to the beach with a lot of people. I was scared, so I didn't go out. They searched for a long time, and then they left."

"I haven't seen him since that day."

"Oh right, he even gave me my name!"

Shi Tou rambled on and on, but Su Zhe interrupted him.

"Aren't you going to go and acknowledge him? The boat will be gone soon."

Stone hesitated for a moment, looked at the cargo ship, then at Su Zhe, and finally said, "Let's forget about it this time. Boss, you're about to advance. I'll go after you succeed. Anyway, he went to Liyue. I should be able to find him by waiting outside the port."

Stone said with a chuckle.

"you sure?"

"Yes! Now that I've met him, there's bound to be a second time. I'm sure I'll see him again soon!"

"alright."

Su Zhe thought about it and decided not to tell him that there was an 80% chance that the ships that would appear on this route were smuggling vessels.

Moreover, he had sensed that the people on the ship were all foreigners. Obviously, the guy that Stone knew must have gone abroad to live and probably had long forgotten about him.

He really couldn't stand a guy who came back from abroad to smuggle goods.

Although Su Zhe could sense the stone's joyful mood, he still didn't say anything.

Although Stone is somewhat mischievous, he is also loyal and affectionate. Since you call him Boss, he should naturally have the responsibilities of a boss.

The best outcome might be that we never see each other again.

"Let's go, let's find a safe place first."

Su Zhe dragged the giant crocodile's carcass away from there with the stone.

Once they reached a safe area, Stone, as usual, took the lead in guarding the area. Su Zhe took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the giant crocodile's corpse, his expression becoming increasingly intense.

"Second-order evolution..."

Devouring, begin!

Chapter 41 Advancement! The Power of Ice Elements!

Su Zhe didn't spend too much time going from the first to the second level.

However, the time frame also means a higher level of danger.
